Courthouse Steps."
All informed people know of
the Supreme Court decision of
May, 1954, condemning segrega
tion in public schools on the ba
sis of race or color. They know
too that the Court recently held
a hearing on recommendations as
to how its judgment should be
put into effect Its findings in
terms of a court order are. await
ed with interest all over the coun
try and with genuine concern in
the South.
Last year, following the Court
, decision, a number of prominent
Southern editors and public spi
rited citizens founded the South
ern Education Reporting Service
and assigned to it the duty of
acting as a clearing house of in
formation on the topic of school
segregation and desegregation.
The agency is nonpartisantakes
no sides on the issues, merely
seeks to carry information! on
opinions and happenings in the
area of school segregation.
At the editors' meeting in Wash
ington last week, Charles A. Mc
Knight, who left the Charlotte
News ; to become the executive
head of this service, with offices
in Nashville, gave a report of his
work and observations. He was
critical of newspapers for the in
adequacy and partial nature of
their reporting of segregation
news. He referred particularly to
the fact that instances of turmoil
and resistance to desegregation as
in Milford, Delaware, brought
headlines and generous alloca

Snider Abandons Plans
For Detroit Lake Resort
By CHARLES IRELAND
Valley Editor, The Statesman
Plans for a big, new resort on Detroit Lake went over the dam
Wednesday when Fred Snider, Salem electrical contractor, reported
he would not go ahead with the project. (Picture on page 5, sec. 2.)
Snider said he changed his mind after learning he would not
have exclusive rights to boat rentals on the huge man-made lake
Eden Aims at
Diplomatic
'Grand Slam'
LONDON () Prime Minister
Eden is reported aiming to achieve
a diplomatic grand slam For
mosa peace talks, . independence
for Austria and an approach to a
Big Four conference before
Britain's May 26 election.
British informants told of Eden's
objectives Wednesday as Ameri-,
can, British and French diplomats
met here in an atmosphere of some
urgency to draw up a plan for
Western talks with Russia to ease
world tension.
Their proposals will be laid be
fore U.S. Secretary of State Dulles,
British Foreign Secretary Harold
MacMMan and French Foreign
Minister Antoine Pinay at a meet
ing in Paris May 8.
The new British prime minister
was understood to be cautiously
optimistic that all three goals can
be reached in time to swing votes
to his Conservative Party.
Britain's - diplomatic machinery
whirred into top speed, obviously
on Eden's specific instructions.
- The other boy was picked up at
school the following morning.
The note, postmarked at 10:30
a.m. Wednesday and block-lettered
out op a five-by-eight-inch let
ter sheet, was insolent in nature
and attempted to "correct" the
police estimate of what was miss
ing in the store robbery.
It concluded, "Take an Liven
tory if you don't believe us."
Police said the pair collectively
admitted three fruitless Sunnyside
area house-prowls negotiated by
unlocked front doors, one produc-!
tive of 30 cents and two pop bot -
ties, and unsuccessful passes at
another grocery and a food locker.
The letter-writer is in the custody
ot his parents, and the other youth
is charged with burglary.
Police said the rounding-up of
this pair and the 10 other lads
cleared burglaries dating back as
far as a year ago and having an
aggregate loot and damage coat
of round $500.

Last November the National
Forest Service authorized Snider
to build the resort, and Snider
said it was his original under
standing that he would have the
only boat concession on the lake.
At Eugene, Robert Aufderheide,
supervisor of the Willamette Na
tional Forest, said Wednesday he
did not know how such a "mis
understanding" came about He
said no one in the forest service
had authority to make such a
promise to Snider. Permits to

WTiile Snider has- abandoned
plans for the resort he said he is
negotiating for private property
adjacent to Detroit Lake and
hopes to get permission from the
forest service to build a dock and
rent some of the 75 new boats he
has purchased.
Aufderheide indicated that Sni
der's request will be granted.
Snider said he had spent over
$18,000 on boats, equipment and
plans for the resort which was to
include a store, cafe, service -station,
boat ramp and cabins.
Snider said the resort would
have represented a $150,000 in

lost the support of financial back
ers and an oil company that was
going to build the service station
when they learned that he did not
have an exclusive concession.

located along the North Santiam

tumbles into Detroit Lake. The
site is two miles west of the town

Supervisor Aufderheide said
there will probably be 200 boats
for hire at Detroit Lake this sum

plans to permit anyone to build a

might have been one are 300 boat

Vote
House Action
Set Today on
Nov. 8 Ballot
By ROBERT E. GANGWARE
City Editor, The Statesman
Oregon's' Legislature voted its
final approval Wednesday to a
new state income tax that would
add an average of 60 per cent to
each citizen's state income tax
bill.
Within an hour, an alternate
sales tax plan passed its first
major hurdle and was scheduled
for a vote in the House at 10:10
a. m. today. Sales tax supporters
mustered a 33 to 26 vote against
killing the bill Wednesday.
Here's how the two tax plans
now stand:
The income tax boost needs only
the governor's signature to be
come law. Gov. Paul Patterson Is
expected to sign it.
If the proposed 3 per cent sales
tax is defeated anywhere along the
line, the higher Income tax will
be charged against 1955 income.
If the Legislature passes . the
sales tax bill, that measure will
be referred to Oregon voters at 'over before 'it started,
a special election Nov. . . Secretary of the Interior McKay
Acceptance of the sales tax by issued an emergency order Wed
the people at that time would j nesday cancelling plans to open
automatically cancel the income ! 65,343 acres of public land in
tax raise.
Rejection of the sates tax by
the voters would mean the higher
income tax takes affect this year.
To get onto a specal ballot be
fore the voters, the sales tax bill
must go through these steps: Fav
orable vote by at least 31 state
representatives today; review by
the Senate tax committee; favor
able vote of at least 16 senators;
return to the House fo' approval of
any amendments the Senate might
make; signature of the governor.
Purpose , of the higher income
tax approved Wednesday is to bal
ance the state budget by creating
additional tax revenue of $44 mil
lion in the next two years.
The taxpayer will find that his
exemptions and dependency credits
are IojO each under this plan in
stead of $600; that he computes
his tax on the same graduated
rates as at present; that he then
adds a 4a per cent surtax.
Exempt From Tax
Incomes under $1,500 for couples
and $1,000 for single persons will
be exempt from the new tax.
Final passage f this tax came
by 57-3 vote in the House after
an amendment from the Senate
was approved without debate. This
merely made it plain that for the
few who pay their tax on a fiscal
year basis, the new tax would
apply on the fiscal year ending
after effective date of the act.
Voting against the bill were
Reps. Harvey DeArmond, Bend;
Katherine Musa, The Dalles, and
Walter Pearson, Portland.
In the sales tax maneuver Wed
nesday, a minority of the House
tax committee moved that the bill
be killed. After an hour's debate,
the House defeated this motion and
decided to take up the bill itself
today.
Upholding the sales tax in this
vote were 27 of the 34 Republicans
present and six of the 25 House
Democrats. One Republican was
absent. The entire Marion and
Polk County delegations voted with
the majority to keep the sales tax
bill alive. . -

Of Bomb Threat
PORTLAND (IP) Another

the earlier threats. L
They- quoted the students as
saying they phoned a threat to

Jefferson received such threats
two successive days.
Jack Edwards, schools super

making the fake threats, and
said, "We're going to have to
stop" evacuating schools.
Roosevelt High, the fourth
high school to receive such a
threat, was the school evacuat

found inside, and students went
back to classes after a half

School Board Lops $57,060
Off Budget, Then Approves It
By VINTTA HOWARD
Staff Writer, The Statesman
A $5,177,321 budget for Salem
School District 24CJ was ap
proved Wednesday after school
board members took a seven-hour
look at the previously submitted
budget . and eliminated $57,060.
This will mean a 6.5 millage
increase for the school district
rather than 7.7 called for in the
original budget. It will still cost
the district $293,000 more to run
schools next year than it did this
year.
The revision was also enough
to reduce the estimated millage
levy on Salem property from;May 20 election will be called

Outpu t of Company
By WHITNEY SHOEMAKER
WASHINGTON (JP) The far-flung campaign-to immunize Amer
ica's children against polio ground to a halt in some areas of the
nation Wednesday night after eight children treated with one com
pany's output of Salk Vaccine were reported to have contracted the
disease.
The U.S. Public Health Service emphasized there was no cause
for alarm, but clamped a stop or
der on vaccine made by the Cut
ter Laboratories of Berkeley, Calif.
All the vaccine .made by the
company was ordered withdrawn,
while two public health experts
rushed to the Berkeley laboratories
to join company officials in a
study aimed at determining wheth
er the vaccine was faulty.
Authorities said there was no
evidence that it was. The stop or
der, they declared, was purely
precautionary. It was stated that
the stricken children, one of whom
died, may have been among those
for whom Salk vaccine is not ef
fective. Infantile parlysis normally has
an incubation period of 10 to 14
days before it takes hold. Most
of the stricken children showed
symptoms of the disease within a
week after inoculation. The virus
in the vaccine is presumably dead.
but one public health official said
that if a vaccine containing live
virus were used it was conceivable
(though not proven) that the s dis-
ease could show up in less 1 than
the 10-14 day normal incubation
period.
5 From California
Of the eight cases of polio, five
were reported irom laiuuuud,
two from Idaho and one from Chi
cago. In addition, California health
authorities said three cases sus
pected to be polio had appeared
in that state among children who
received the Cutter vaccine.
Much of the Cutter vaccine was
used for mass inoculations in sev
eral Western statei, but some of
it found its way as Far East as
New England, New York State and
Virginia.
Halt Vaccinations
California, Idaho, Arizona and
New Mexico stopped vaccinating
school dudUs until the Cutter vac
cine is run through tests in govern
ment laboratories. The city ot
Philadelphia also cut off its pro
gram temporarily for safety's
sake, although using the vaccine
of a different company.

Anti-Trust Act
Suit Launched
Against Hilton
WASHINGTON ( Acting un
der the antitrust laws, the gov
ernment Wednesday moved in on
the big Hilton-Statler hotel merger
of last year. It sought to break
up at least a portion of it.
The merger involved one of the
largest private real estate deals
on record, and created the world's
largest hotel chain.
Atty. Gen Brownell filed suit in
the. Federal District Court here
charging the consolidation, by
eliminating important competition
in four large cities, violated the
Clayton Anti-Trust Act.
The Hilton Hotels Corp. was spe
cifically accused of transgressing
the antimerger section of that act
when it acquired stock and phy
sical assets .of the Hotel Statler
Corp. between August and Novem
ber, 1954, for approximately 111
million dollars.
The Statler Hotels Delaware
Corp., which was subsequently
formed to handle the Statler out
lets, was also named defendant.
Brownell asked the court, as a
minimum, to order Hilton to dis
pose of the Hotels Statler in New
York City, Washington, St. Louis
and Los Angeles, and to require
divestment of "such other ac
quired properties, including stock,
as the court deems necessary to
dissipate the effects of the viola
tion of law and to restore com
petitive conditions in the hotel in

Some Cutter
Vaccine Sent
To Salem Area
Some Salem area youngsters
have been, inoculated with Sflk
polio vaccine supplied by Cutter
Laboratories, which Wednesday
ordered recall of all unused vac
cine in a safety move.
Exactly how much of the serum
was shipped to the mid-Willamette
Valley area could not be
determined Wednesday but it ap
peared likely that the total would
probably be less than 100 vials.
To Ban Shipments
H. M. Bosserman. Portland.
Cutter Laboratories salesman for
Oregon, told The Statesman that
severai drugstores had received
, token shi t n(J it was pre.
sumed doctors had also received
some of the supply direct.. He
said vaccine for only 750 inocu
lations had been received in. the
whole state from the California
firm and that only a small amount
had been consigned to the Salem
area. . ..
None of a cross section of drug
stores in Salem contacted Wed
nesday had any of the orieinal
shipment left in the stores and
presumed that it had already
been administered by physicians
filling prescription requests. One
Portland wholesale drug firm re
ported it. still had Ja .quantity of
the vaccine in stock.
Quick to Caution
Health officials, doctors and
druggists were quick to caution
the public, against any panic in
connection with the vaccine re
call and all doubted if the vaccine
was to blame for the incidence
of paralytic polio among some
youngsters already inoculated
with the Cutter vaccine.
Officials pointed ; out that it
takes 30 days for the serum to
build up anti-bodies in the human
body to develop an immunity to
polio. They said it was probable
i that those stricken had not been '
inoculated more than two weeks.'
Planr for mass inoculations of
first four graders in mid-valley
schools have been postponed be
cause most available vaccine is
being channeled to the southern
states where the polio season is
already approaching. ..
