For Tunisia Wins
French Approval
PARIS tf French and Tu
nisian leaders agreed Friday on
the principles -of local self gov
ernment for the strife-ridden
Korth African protectorate.
.The agreement was reached in a
meeting between French Premier
Edgar Faure and Tunisian Pre
mier Tahar Ben Amar in Faure's
office in Matignon Palace in the
presence of officials from.- both
sides.

Tax Program
In Discord
" The Oregon Legislature's e&
tire revenue program, involving
sales. Income anc cigarette taxes.
wis fouled up Thursday In a
maze of discord and alternate
nlans. ;
The many-phasod conflict, be
tween the Senate and House and
within the Senate and-House tax
committees, threatened to throw
a wrench into hopes that the ses
sion might end nex week.
These developments confused
the already muddled picture:
1. The house taxation commit
tee, considering the the 3 per
cent sales tax bill, postponed ac-
'lion until the Senate acts on the
House-passed Income tax Increase
measure. A sales tax hearing
was scheduled for Monday at
p.m. -
2. This same committee, plan-
nine to reier the sale? tax to
. special-election in June or July,
decided to consiter a sew plan,
under which do salei tax would
b passed ut alL The idea is that
if the people referred and de
feated the income .tax boost, the
legislature could come back in
special ssion rext fall to con
sider a sale tax.
3. BothSenate and " House
committees agreed the proposed

Earthquakes
Damage99000
Greek Homes
VOLOS, Greece () Five new
earth shocks one of great in
tensityhit this port city Thurs
day, damaging 9,000 of the 10,000
homes.
Mayor T gorge Kortalis put the
death toll at six in the day's quake.
Thursday's major tremor was
reported far more severe than
quake that rocked Volos Tuesday.
One person was killed in Tues
day's quakes.
Kortalis said between 110 and
120 persons were injured in the
two quakes
The mayor said 90 per cent o
tne nomes in tne city were un
inahbitable but that a relatively
small number of buildings have col
lapsed. He estimated damage at
more than 11 million dollars.
Kortalis said between 45,000
and 50,000 of the' 75,000 residents
of the area "will not dare sleep
in their houses tonight," because
of the fear of new shocks. He said
another shock like the earlier
tremors "and there would be no
more Volos."
The U.S. destroyer Wood, anclv
ored in the harbor when Tucs
day's quake struck, was pulling
out when the new shocks began at
9:18 a.m.
Cmdr. John McLaughlin ordered
the destroyer to return and sent
a landing party of 50 sailors
ashore with firefighting and res
cue equipment.
About 93 per cent of Sweden's
population has access to elec
tricity. "

the end of a four-hour session said
the agreement was subject to the
approval of the French Parliament
and the nominal ruler of Tunisia,
the Bey of Tunis.
The agreement came midway in
the Asian-African ' conference at
Bandung, Indonesia, where repre
sentatives of 29 nations are pre
paring a resolution calling on
France to grant independence to
Tunisia, , Morocco and Algeria.
Ben Ammri-'s approval of local
self-rule or internal autonomy, as
the French call it, appeared to be
an answer to the Bandung reso
lution.
Could Set Patters
An agreement on Tunisia, fix
ing the reiationsnip Between
France and the protectorate, could
set the pattern for a similar agree
ment on Morocco. Algeria, how
ever, presents -a diffrent problem
since the French regard that area
as part of metropolitan France.
The French and Tunisian dele
gations will meet here again be
fore May 30 tocomplete some de
tails in the lengthy agreement, to
approve, a definite text and to in
itial all these.
" Faure had talked for almost two
hours Thursday with Habib Bout
giba. exiled leader of the national
ist Neodestour Party which has
led a citation for Tunisia's inde-
nendence.
It was the first time a French
Premier had received Bourgiba of
ficially. He has been held under
lenient house arrest in France for
some time.
According to Tunisian sources,
Bourgiba also gave his approval to
the projected accords to give ru
nisia internal self-government.
The accords will gradually turn
most of administrative functions
over to the Tunisians themselves,
while maintaining Special rights
and privileges for some 250,000
Frenchmen or other Europeans,
mostly Italians, still living in the
protectorate.
Six Provisions
The agreement, it was learned,
contains six chief provisions:
1. France will continue to control
Tunisia's foreign policy and nation
al defense. The French high com
missioner will serve as Tunisian
foreign minister and act as
France's representative in Tunis.
A French general will be defense
minister.
2. In towns with large French
populations, three-sevenths of the
municipal council must be r rencn.
S. Tunisia will remain in the
French monetary bloc and will
maintain a customs union with
France. .
4. The police force gradually will
be turneToveT to Tunisians, be
ginning with jobs at the lower lev
el.
5.- Th court system gradually
will be turned over to Tunisians
over a 20-year period.
6. French will have a privileged
status in the protectorate. It will
continue as the standard language
for instruction in schools for Eu
ropean students and it must be
aught in Arabic schools. .

Crushed
LONG BEACH. Calif. OB A
sleek racing yacht with five men
aboard was crushed by a freight
er during" a storm off Point Ar
guello early Thursday and sank
so quickly that no one saw her
go down.
Only one body, unclad, was found
in the debris, which a Coast
guardman described as "scat
tered like meal over the water."
The right leg was severed, pos
sibly by a propeller.
The other yachtsmen apparent
ly went down with the wreckage
of the $25,000 Suomi, a yawl with
auxiliary power.
"I have no hope that any of
tbem survived," declared Chief
Warrant Officer W. S. Yeargain
of the Coast Guard. "It was windy.
cold and rough even for an old
sailor."
Yeargain's launch was sum
moned to the scene by the 4,956
ton Swedish motor ship Parramat-
ta. which struck the 49-foot Suomi
two miles offshore during a rain
squall at 4 a.m. The crash oc
curred 4.2 miles south of Point
ArgueUo. about 135 miles north
west of here.
Missing with the yacht was her
skipper. Henry Meiggs, president
of the State Mortage Corp. of San
Francisco, who purchased the Su
omi two weeks ago to sail her in
the trans-Pacific Honolulu race this
year.
Also aboard were his brother,
William . Lawrence Meiggs. Bev
erly Hills, Calif., architect; Col.
W. S. Conrow. Menlo Park, Calif.;
Ralph Cooper. Burlingame, Calif.,
the .navigator; and Sandy Wilson,
New Zealand.
ATI (Sat Coastguardmen found
besides the body was part of a
skiff bearing the name of Suomi
and the bits of wreckage. The
name on the section of the skiff
was the first indication of the
yacht's identity.
The Suomi, built in San Fran
cisco in 1946, won top honors in
her class in the Honolulu yacht
race of 1947.

LOS ANGELES ( Former
film star Bela LUgosi voluntarily
signed himself into Los Angeles
County General Hospital Thursday,
stating that he has been using a
drug for medication purposes over
a period of years.
Hospital authorities said the 71-year-old

fame in America as portrayer on
the stage and screen of Count
Dracula of Bram Stoker's mystery
novel "Dracula," told them a pri
vate sanitarium where he had been
a patient advised him to seek the
county institution for further help.
Doctors at the county hospital
said Lugosi is not a narcotic ad
dict. They pointed out that under
the law residents may gain hos
pitalization at county expense if
they are without funds and sign in
as alcoholics, as chronic users of
narcotics for sedation, or If they
sign a warrant admitting they are
narcotic addicts.
If Lugosi's papers are approved
he can be committed to a state
mental hospital. His hearing was
set for Friday morning.
Lugosi's condition was described
by a psychiatrist-counselor at the
hospital as "fairly good, and he is
able to get around."
He has been inactive in movies
for many years.
When Lugosi's fourth wife di
