Senate Passes Basic
School Fund Action
Opposition to
Foreign Aid to
India Heard
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
1 Associated Press Writer
A measure to give future increases in basic school aid to local
districts on the basis of equalization was passed Monday by the Sen
ate 18-12.
Opposition to the bill came from senators from Multnomah and
Eastern Oregon counties, which wouldn't share in the future school
l fund increases under the bill.
This increased revenue would
go to the more needy districts.
The fund increases each year as
the school population , increases,
because it is based on $80 per
year per school census child.
The Senate voted Monday for
a new relative responsibility law,
under which citizens are compell
ed to support their needy rela
tives to keep them off of the
welfare rolls.
Replace Law
The bill, which goes to the
House, would replace the law
which recently was declared un
constitutional by the Multnomah
County circuit court
At the same time, the Senate
killed a bill to have five assist
ant attorneys general to prose
cute welfare frauds. The vote was
18-12. This probably will be re
considered today, however.
The Senate completed legisla
tive action on a bill to give the
state engineers authority over
drilling of wells and the use of
air ground water.
A bill to designate the secre
tary of state, as reciprocity offi
cer, with authority to work with
other states to facilitate interstate
movement of trucks and other
motor vehicles, was passed by the
House and sent to the governor.
Primary Change
The question of changing the
primary election date from May
to the fourth Tuesday in June
was headed for a Senate-House
conference committee. The Sen
ate had voted for the change, but
the House elections committee eli
minated it from the bilL
As passed by the House Mon
day, it merely would have pre
cinct officers elected in the No
vember election. Now they are
elected in May.
A proposed interim committee
to study the workmen's compen
sation law was killed by the
House.
WASHINGTON (UP) Senate
.Republican Leader Willjam I F.
Knowland questioned Monday
whether U. S. foreign aid funds
should be alloted to India in view
of that country's neutral position
in the cold war.
His attitude reflected a viewpoint
widely held i in Congress among
members who are questioning or
objecting to the continued inclusion
of India in the foreign aid pro
.. gram. .
Knowland gave his views to re
porters in commenting on the line
""taken by Indian Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru at the Afro
Asian conference at Bandung, Indor
nesia.
He expressed the belief that the
conference had "backfired" on the
neutral Nehru and ' Red Chinese
Premier Chou en-lai because the
anti-Communist countries in Asia
had made an effective case against
"the dangers of Communism.".
Knowland also -said he thinks
those countries were more willing
to make their ' case because the
Southeast Asia pact ,-and other
treaties save them "a sense of
stability." r I
Meantime, "Sen. Hubert Humph
rey (D-Minn) urged Ja reassess
ment of this nation's Asian policies.
He said the Bandung conference
has provided background "which
we have not had before" and from
it "we can better measure the ef
fectiveness of our own policies."
Humphrey, a member of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
said in a statement th conference
has showed "how terribly import
ant it is" for the-United States to
work with its "allied partners" in
forming policy in the Far East.
Conviction of NYC
Officer Upheld by
Supreme Court
WASHINGTON UrwThe Supreme
Court, dividing 6-2. Monday upheld
the contempt conviction of a for
mer New York City policeman who
refused to tell a grand jury wheth
er he had taken bribes from gam
blers. .N '
The majority decision, written
by Justice Reed, hinged on a waive
- of immunity against prosecution
signed by Michael J. Regan on
March 7, 1951, 20 days before he
resigned from the force.-
The city charter provides .that
any employe who refuses to waive
his immunity against subsequent
prosecution upon any matter of an
official nature about which he is
asked to testify shall lose his job
and become ineligible to hold any
other city post.

amount be made up. by higher
student fees - and other charges
made by the System of Higher
Education.
Recommendation Made
In order to hold : another
amount of $674,0 in the higher
education budge' for salary raises
in the next two years, the sub
committee recommends that the
number of additional faculty
members be held in the coming
bienniuin to 95, rather than 173
as advised by the Board tf High
er Education.
This would mean a ratio of
more pupils per professor than
at present -The change would
vary, but in most cases iv. would
mean one or two more students
per class.
The subcommittee's recommen
dations on the extension services
of higher education haven't been
made yet
Reduced Figure
In the M nday recommendation
on higher education budget the
subcommittee reduced the overall
figure $1,123,000 under the gov
ernor's budget request of $45.9
million. The governor had
hopped a million from the state
board's budget before approving
the budget
The general fund of the -state
would have to produce about $32
million toward the higher educa
tion program, under the commit
tee plan.
No particular services under
higher education would be abol
ished, under the subcommittee
plan. But seve 1 specific chan
ges are recommended, including
making the dormitory buildings
completely self-liquidating. At
present the state absorbs utility
costs.'
Consolidation Suggested
Consolidation of certain admin
istrative function; of the Dental
School with the University of
Oregon Medical School also was
suggested. Ihe committee said
it felt a separate registrars' of
fice, business office, and certain
other functions, was unnecessary.
The subcommittee recommend
ed that the cumber of foreign
student sc! Warships be cut in
half with the remainder of these
scholarships being awarded to
residents of Oregon. It was
recommended that the 2 and 10
per cent scholarships be restrict
ed to resident students. No in
crease or decrease in the num
ber of scholarships was recom
mended.
The market news report would
be eliminated under another
recommendation with a saving of
$50,000.
The committee recommended
that the cherry di-eases and farm
production specialists' activities
be permitted, but from available
funqs.

WASHINGTON (ft - Secretary
of the Air Force Talbott has told
Congress an effort will be made
to check further expansion in the
number of aircraft workers on the
Pacific Coast, it was disclosed
Monday.
Both Talbott and Gen. Nathan
F. Twining, Air Force chief of
staff, were among defense officials
testifying recently before a house
appropriations subcomm i 1 1 e e
Their testimony was made public
Monday.
Twining was asked:
"Do you have any control over
or do you agree with this concen
tration of aircraft production on
the West Coast and Southwest of
the United States?
"No sir," Twining answered
"we do not like that. We would
like to have the aircraft industry
dispersed.
Secy. Talbott interjected:
"We are taking steps to do that.
We are going to try not to allow
further expansion on the Pacific
Coast of personnel, where they
have more people.

Need Told
For Aircraft
Spotting Posts
LAS VEGAS, Nev. An ur
gent need for more fulltime 24-
hour around the clock Ground
Observer posts to increase air
craft spotting surveillance and
improve the air defense warning
network . was outlined here by
Maj. Gen. Kenneth F. Bergquist
The Deputy Chief of Staff for
Operations of the Continental Air
Defense Command, and one of
the survivors of the .Pearl Har
bor sneak attack in December
1941. was speaking ' to arrivals
scheduled to witness the explos
ion of the latest atomic device.
General Bergquist said, "Our
perimeter air defense warning
lines are now so thin that we ur
gently need more fulltime posts
in our present skywatch area,
plus an increase in depth that
can be provided only by pro
grammed additional skywatch
sectors."
Now Vulnerable
"We are vulnerable to low al
titude attacks and don't let any
body convince ; you that the jet
bomber age will eliminate this
vulnerability. Jet bombers can
come down low for penetrations
and most likely will do so if we
remain vulnerable. A vital fac
tor in decreasing this vulnerabil
ity is a 24-hour operational
Ground Ozserver Corps in depth,
particularly in this stage in the
growth of the air defense sys
tem." "I do not know whether
or not war is imminent," Gener
al Bergquist concluded, "but we
do know that our international
situation continues to be tense.
We have definite knowledge that
the Soviet Union is fully cap
able of delivering atomic bombs
upon our cities right now."
delayed the explosion which had
been scheduled for Tuesday morn
ing.
In the past, American armored
forces have participated in simu
lated atomic attacks. But Wednes
day, the hard steel hulls of 30-ton
Gen.' Patton tanks, armored per
sonnel carriers and self-propelled
howitzers will be put to the acid
test against a deadly nuclear ex
plosion.
And the atomic burst will be no
puny puff. It will pack the wallop
of 40,000 tons of TNT, or twice
the power of the A-bombs which
gutted Hiroshima and Nagasaki
and ravaged a captive fleet at
Bikini a year later.
Close To Blast
At the same time an experimen
tal device to be triggered at 5:20
a.m. PDT atop a 500-foot steel
tower showers destruction upon
"Survival Town," its fury will be
turned also against 85 armoed ve
hicles led by 55 sturdy Patton
tanks and two smaller M24s.
The leading tanks will be only
3100 yards or less than two miles
from ground zero, the spot on the
desert-like floor of Yucca Flat
where the tower stands ominously.
Other tanks will be arrayed in
battle formation for the next 500
yards and 24 more bulky person
nel carriers and four self-propelled
howitzers, also heavily armed,
will be lined up beginning at-3900
yards. M
Newsmen In Tanks
Approximately 460 men of the
armored task force plus 20 .or so
newsmen will huddle inside the
tanks and other armored vehicles,
all tightly "buttoned up," when
the blinding, jarring atomic blast
occurs.
The maneuver is in some ways
reminiscent of Gen. George S.
Patton's Third Army tank break
through at St. Lo in Normandy
during World War II except that
an atomic burst instead of con
ventional artillery, bombers and
fighter planes will tear the gap
in enemy lines.
The armoed column, dubbed task
Force Razor, consists of 800 men
from the 723rd Tank Battalion
from Camp Irwin, Calif., plus in
fantry, aviation and artillery units
from the First and Fourth
Armored Divisions.
House Rejects
State Driver
Training Bill
Driver training in Oregon high
schools failed Monday for the
second time to win approval in
the House of Representatives.
By a vote of 29 to 25 two
short of. a majority the House
turned down a revision of the
proposal that failed by four votes
on April 13.
As amended, the bill would
have helped pay for the program
by a $1 assessment on each $10
traffic fine. Supporters contend-!
ed the assessment would have
raised about $375,000 a year.
Opponents contended there
was no guarantee that the pro
gram would pay for itself.
They argued driver training in
some Oregon schools is costing
from $48 to $64 per student, and
the bill would reimburse school
districts 75 per cent of their ex
pense, but no more than $20 per
pupil.
Advocates said the bill was
only an enabling act, but foes ar
gued it would make courts the
trustees of the fund because they
would have to collect the admin
istrative costs. .

Kansas Farmer Adds Patterson's
Autograph to Collection of 3,000
By GARTH FANNING
Staff Writer, The Statesman
A Kansas wheat farmer with
two books containing nearly 3,
000 autographs that he has col
lected himself stopped in Salem
Monday. He is Joe A. Feitz, who
with his wife is on the 112th day
of a trip across the United States,
one that they make almost
yearly.
Feitz has been collecting sig
natures since 1925 in cross-country
automobile sojourns. Monday
morning, he hopped up to the
Capitol buildSSg to obtain Gov.
Paul Patterson's autograph. Pres
ent plans call for a few days' vis
it with his sister, Mrs. Esther
Seymanski, Silverton Route 1,
Box 112. 1
This is Feitz's sixth trip
through Salem and he says the
town has always been "very hos
pitable to us.
One of the highlights of the
trip this year, says Feitz, whose
farm is located in Hays, Kan, is
the autograph of a 112-year-old
Civil War veteran of the Confed
eracy, Walter Williams, Frank
lin, Tex.
' Feitz most prizes the signature
of Jane Withers, former child
movie star. He also has the 1939
signature of Shirley Temple, and
signatures of Sen. Joseph Mc
Carthy, Oregon's late Sen. Mc
Nary, J. Edgar Hoover, Secretary
of the Interior Douglas McKay,
and of pugilists Joe Louis Jack
Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Jim Jef
fries, among others.
But Feitz bemoans the fact that
he has never yet obtained the
autograph of a president of the
United States. He plans to keep
on trying. He almost got Harry
Truman's once, he says..
From January to May '
Feitz usually starts his trips
around. January and winds tbem
up in May. In his absence, his
son-in-law watches over his 80
acre wheat land. Feitz owns more
land which, the son-in-law farms.
He started in the wheat business
47 years ago.
"There's nothing for me to do
during the winter months," com
ments Feitz. "So I usually make
these trips yearly." He has
travelled 6,995 miles so far this
year, and has never had a serious
accident on the road.
He has signatures of circus
men, strip tease artists, television
and radio men, business execu
tives and motel operators.
Studies Signatures
"You know," says Feitz, "I can
tell more about a person by
studying his signature than I can
by study of his appearance. Cer
tain slants in signatures reveal
personality traits."
Feitz is studying graphology
and he says with a laugh that he
L should n't lack study material
In the future, he plans to write
a book on his experiences. ) "But
I must see Europe first," he says.
"You cant write authoritatively
about America until you can com
pare it with something else." .
No U.S. Plea
Made for Isle
Abandonment
TAIPEI, 1 An informed Na
tionalist source indicated Tuesday
that two high-level U. S. envoys
have not asked President Chiang
Kai-Shek to abandon the offshore
islands of Quemoy and the Matsus.
The source said Walter Robert
son, assistant secretary of state,
and Adm. Arthur ' W. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, did not come to Formosa
to discuss "negative" issues.
He said they had come to discuss
"positive" issues, as events would
prove. The source, who revested
anonymity, said the trip would re
sult in "further strength ning of
the cooperation and friendship be
tween Nationalist China and the
United States."
Robertson and Radford . con
ferred with Chiang Sunday.
Radford was confined to bed
Tuesday morning with a cold. Rob
ertson, also a guest of Chiang at
the President's suburban retreat
in scholars forest, spent the morn
ing working on dispatches.
U. S. sources said the two more
or less had completed their mis
sion and could leave at any time.
, Nationalist - quarters predicted
'they would leave Wednesday. ,.
Earlier, Nationalist sources ad
vocating an uncompromising stand
against communism had given an
impression they were disappointed
over the mission of Radford and
Robertson.
Lobbyists Set
Legislative
Planning Meet
Nobody could say Monday just
when the Oregon Legislature will
wind up its current session, but
one lobby group at the Capitol
was already worrying about the
next Legislature.
A group of several state farm,
labor and other organizations an
nounced plans for a "legislative
planning conference" in Salem
May 14. Chairman of arrange
ments is Dewey Cummins, Polk
County farmer who is state vice
president of the Farmers Union.
He said representatives of sev
eral groups will try to work out
a permanent organization to keep
an eye on future legislative pro
posals. Groups expected to join
in the preliminary conference in
clude the Farmers Union, Grange,
AFL, CIO, railroad brotherhoods,
League of Women Voters, Oregon
Education Association, Oregon
Council of Churches and Catholic
Rural Life Conference.
Police Probe
3 Burglaries
Three weekend .break-ins are
being investigated by Marion
County sheriffs deputies and
state police.
The Valley Farm store, 3935
Silverton Rd., was entered some
time. Sunday night where about
$34 was taken. Entry was made
through a rear window.
The Gatchcll grocery store,
3295 South Commercial St., was
entered Saturday nishf. Ten
packs of cigars, four to six
cartons of cigarettes and about
50 cents i? pennies were taken.
Police said entry was through a
side door.
. The third break-in occurred at
Vista Food Lockers, 3095 South
Commercial St., but nothirjj was
reported taken in this attempt
A rear window was forced to
gain entrance, police said.
Lowry,
Steen, Milton-Freewater,
Republicans.
They were joi- ed in the final
vote on the bill by Sens. George
Ulett (R), Coquille; John Houn-
sell (R), Hod River; 7. O. John
son (R), i Tig rd; and Gene
Brown (R), Grants Pass.
Study Urged
Both Lowry and Steen urged
that their tax committee restudy
the whole t-x problem, including
a sales tax proposal.
. They gave as their reasons the
opinion that the recommended
income tax didn't present a bal
anced program, might not raise
enough revenue for thenex'. two
years and hence might lead to a
state property tax.
At best, they predicted, the
measure is only a stopgap and
probably wou'd leave the state
facing another big deficit in 1957.
Sen. Lowry said the committee
hadn't studied the possible di
verse economic effects of such a
high income tax and the psycho
logical effect of Oregon's having
the highest income tax in the
nation.
'Sounder Program'
"We should work out a sound
er program no matter how long
it takes and-no matter what the
pressures for adjournment," he
said.
Sen. Rudie WTilhelm (R), Port
land, chairman of the Senate tax
committee, said Oregon's tax pic
ture would still be better than
in many states.
"Although our income tax
would be the highest in the Unit
ed States, nevertheless Oregon
wouldn't be paying the highest
per capita tax," satf Wilhelm.
If you want an income tax ap
proach, this one i not unfair to
anyone," Wilhelm declared.
The tax chairman assured the
Senate that his committee would
see that the Senate had a chance
to vote on any sales tax meas
ure the House might send over.
The House tax committee has
prepared a 3 per cent sales tax
as an alternative to the income
tax, if the people vote for it
Broaden Tax Base
Sen. Steen said he felt Oregon
should really broaden the tax
base because about ore-third its
citizens now don't pay any in
come tax at all
He said present and proposed
income taxes hit hardest at tho.se
incomes over $6,000 and for that
reason any increases should be
based to considerable extent on
the taxes against incom"- under
$6,000.
Sen. Paul Geddes (R), Rose
burg, said "Tl ' income tax bill
isn't going to hurt anybody. The
man in the $2,000 bracket would
pay $9 more a year, and the
man " in the $100,000 bracket
would pay $489 more."
Sen. Hounsell urgec. the tax
committee to go oack to the gov
ernor's original tax plan recrn
mendation, based on elimimting
the federal incom- tax deduction
from state tax. Sen. Johi son also
recommended this.
Some opponents said the tax
was unfair because the percent
age increase to high-income peo
ple was less than to low-income
groups.
Ready for Sales Tax
Sens. Ulett and Steen botfi said
they .believed tl Oregon people
are now "ready to accept a sales
tax."
Sen. Lee Oh mart (R), Salem,
said even though he has long ad
vocated a sales tax, he felt the
legislature should adopt a tax
that would run the least chance
of being upset by the voters.
Some senators who fivored the
income tax said that the actual
effect on many taxpayers wasn't
as big as 60 per cent seems be
cause the state income tax is de
ducted from federal income tax
returns.
But opponents said Oregon's
tax should not be tied to the fed
eral tax system and, moreover,
there was a move in Congress
to do awi.y with the state income
tax deduction.
The Se ate voted four times
on the income tax bill Monday
Twice the senators voted down
a move to refer it back to the
tax committer, ana on a third
vote they- refuse V to accept the

Fund Okehed
For Purchase
Of Church Site
The Legislature's ways and
means committee recommended
Monday the approval of a bill to
appropriate $332,000 for the state
purchase of First Presbyterian
Church, located in a block de
signated for future state construction.
This appropriation would be
separated from funds already on
hand for the gradual purchase of
residential properties in the ex
tended Capitol Mall area.
Present plans of the State
Board of Control call for tempo
rary use of the church for state
offices.
The church would be able to
relocate after selling its present
property. Its congregation already
has plans to build nearby.
Mothers Said
'Forced Out'
Of Hospitals
SAV FRANCISCO (UP)-Moth-
ers and their newborn babies are
being forced out of hospital mater
nity wards too soon, the head of U
Mormon hospitals in Utah charged
Monday.
Clarence E. Wonnacott, co
ordinator for the Utah Hospitals
of the Church of the Latter-day
Saints, told some 4000 hospital ex
ecutives that in the West gener
ally, most mothers are forced to
leave the hospital within two to
four days.
He said the average maternity
case should be permitted to stay in
the hospital for at least five days,
and in many cases, for as many
as 10 days.
Wonnacott made his comments
to the first-day session of the 25th
anniversary convention of the As
sociation of Western Hospitals.
He told the delegates that 20
years ago, the average cost of a
10-day stay in the hospital was $65,
exclusive of doctor's fees.
Today the average cost is $75 to
$80 for three or four days, he said.
In another address on the prob
lem of maternity costs, A. A. Aita,
administrator . of the San Antonio
Community Hospital in Upland,
Calif., suggested a change in pre
paid insurance coverage.
Aita said the maximum of ma
ternity hospital coverage could be
increased from $50 to $100 by in
creasing monhly premiums by no
more than 50 cents. , .
He pointed out this would permit
mothers to remain in the hospital
for as long as 10 days.
Delegates to the convention
came from nine Western states,
British, Columbia. Alaska and Ha
waii for the four-day meeting.

Expert Tells
Potential of
Air A-Blast
An
of
LAS VEGAS, Nev. UFi -r-
atomic antiaircraft weapon
even average size, could destroy
a plane up to a mile away from
its shellburst, a top level nuclear
weapon expert said Monday.
The question of how 'effective
such a weapon would be, when
developed, was asked of Dr. E. B.
Doll, director of military effects
for the Armed . Forces Special
Weapons Project, during a brief
ing of civil defense representatives
here.
Doll replied that an explosion
Of a nominal size weapon the
equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT
would down planes up to one mile
away.
Doll did not say at what altitude
the blast might be that effective.
The effectiveness of an explosion
diminishes with altitude as the
air grows thinner. Doll explained
that "if a burst occurs in a vac
uum you don't have anything to
transmit the shock wave."
