Manager Honored For the first time, former Fresh Rock Island. Santoiana said. Bail of $25,000 has been recommended. Salem Baton Twirler Wins Third Place but will have a second chance Saturday. ';The measure went down to de--ieat with 61 representatives voting lor itxand 34 against. It needed T66 votes (a 2-3rds majority) to pass, as it provides for amending the "State Constitution. Immediately after the vote. Democratic Floor Leader August Mardesich announced he would ask the House to reconsider the proposal Saturday. He had shifted his vote at the last minute to be in a position to ask reconsidera tion. The measure calls for a vote of the people at the 1936 general election on a constitutional amend ment permitting the Legislature to levy and collect a graduated net income tax of not more than I per cent, with the same deduc tions as allowed for the federal income tax. Demos Favor . On the final ballot 43 Democrats and 13 Republicans favored the proposal. Thirty-three Republicans and one Democrat Mardesich voted against it. The vote came after two hours of debate 'during which the House removed three amendments tacked on the bill Thursday, then added a new amendment to clarify the . measure... In urging passage of the meas ure. Rep. Webb Hallauer of Oro ville, chairman of the House Rev enue and" Taxation Committee and author of the proposal, said 33 states now have state income tax laws. He termed it a "cut rate" tax proposal, because federal income tax payments would be allowable deductions on the state income tax. , R. Mort Frayn of Seattle, for mer speaker of the House, asked his fellow Republicans to "vote for the bill and give the people the opportunity to vote on it." Fight Planned He' indicated he would fight it on the election ballot, saying: "I hope you pass it so we can get it before the people and knock it in the head." Hallauer called the House's at- tention to Gov Langlie's message to the Legislature at the time it convened Jan. 10. The chief execu tive, while opposing the tax as such, suggested that the Legisla ture might wish-to put it on the ballot in 1956 to see if the people wanted it.

Tuesday on the new Hubbard by- Sabotaging of Planes Told Former Baby Sitter Jailed In Tots Death EPHRATA. Wash. Wv-Kathleen Carnaghan, a well-groomed form er baby sitter, was locked in the county jail at 3 in the morning Friday, accused of killing a 21-montb-old child seven months ago. Miss Carnaghan. 29 and now a typist, has denied the charge and claims the death last Aug. 7 of little Deena Starzman at Grand Coulee, Wash, was accidental drowning as first reported. Deenars parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Starzman, said that's what, they think,, too. And Mrs. Marie Baines, the baby's mater nal grandmother , whose hunch re opened the case, was quoted by the Spokane Chronicle: "Miss Carnaghan . was 100 per cent. We wouldn't have kept her if she, wasn't. I 'have nothing against her personally. If I had, I would have done something long ago. 1 just got worried." Deena won honorable- mention in a Chronicle baby contest last year. Found ia Water Mrs. Baines, a Grand Coulee cafe owner, was reached in Seat tle. She had gone to Prosecutor Paul A. Klasen Jr. of Grant County earlier this year with suspicions about little Deena s death. The child was found face down in a puddle of water at her parent s home. "How . could a child drown in two inches of water?," Mrs. Baines asked the Chronicle Fri day. "I couldn't believe she had drowned because of the way the ground lay. There was just lawn under the water. Robert Campbell Jr. was prose cutor when Mrs. Baines came in with her "hunch" in January He said a letter was written to the parents asking permission to ex hume the body. "We got no reply," he said. Klasen took over Jan. 10 and got permission from the Lincoln. County court to exhume the body, buried in a Wilbur, Wash, ceme tery. Klasen said a doctor ruled that a hard blow on the head caused the death. Miss Carnaghan was arrested in San Francisco Thursday for first degree murder and is held here without bond. She was flown to Seattle, then brought here by car. She declined to talk with re porters in Seattle. , Believes Child Drown The. Starzman family now lives at Newport, Wash. Mrs. Starzman said she .believes her daughter drowned accidentally while Misi Carnaghan went around the side of the house. "Miss Carnaghan was with us almost a year and was wonderful with the children," Mrs. Starzman said. "I can't believe it unless she says she did it." Mrs. Starzman said she and her husband weren't in favor of ex huming the body. With tears in her eyes, she added: "We figured there was nothing to be gained, there seemed no reason for it. If Dr. Bonnington said death was caused by drown ing we felt there was no reason to exhume the body just to prove that." Dr. Donald J. Bonnington signed the death certificate. There was no inquest.

Sailors Union Chief Linked To Commies Salem Host to State Meeting Of Engineers Misconceptions about collective bargaining was the chief topic at a Friday night meeting of the Mid Willamette section of the Profes sional Engineers of Oregon held at the Senator Hotel. - Dan N. Hendricks Jr., business manager for a Seattle engineers organization and main speaker, said paternalism is not the answer for engineers' groups. Hendricks said his group, the Se attle Professional Engineering Employes Association is so organ ized that it provides, opportunities to present problems' before man agement on a group scale. The Seattle group is a member of the Engineers and Scientists Association of America, a bargain ing organization. There have been proposals that the Mid-Willamette group join the ESA. About 70 engineers from throughout the central Willamette Valley attended the Friday night dinner meeting. SEATTLE m A witness before the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee hearings said Fri day that Harry Lundeberg. boss of the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific, once sat in Communist Party meetings. The charge, immediately denied I by Lundeberg as a "lie by the J clock," was made by Eugene V. Dennett, a long-time Communist until he was expelled from the party in 1947. Dennett's naming of Lundeberg came as he was telling the com-l mittee of events he said led to ! the Communist domination of the .' Maritime Federation . of the Pa- cific, an organization including a half dozen waterfront unions in ' the mid-1930s. vv " 'i Durine the Deriod when the fed-i eration was growing in power be tween 1934 and 1936, Dennett said, it came- under top Communist domination, with Lundeberg at tending "-top fraction meetings. A 'lop fraction" was defined as a cell of key, Communist leaders. Today Lundeberg is regarded as leading foe of maritime reds, having led his Sailors Union of the Pacific out of the Maritime Federation in opposition to Com munist leadership.
