Case histories in integration are
becoming available. The border
states like Maryland, Kentucky,
Missouri are moving toward de
segregation. Cities like Washing
ton, Baltimore, St. Louis have
made notable progress in this di
rection without nearly the amount
of resistance that might have been
feared.
The current issue of Southern
School News, the publication
launched by Southern publishers
to give a strictly factual report of
what is happening in this area of
social relationship, gives'-a sum
mary of results in the first year
of desegregation at Soldan high
school, St. Louis. This is a fine
old high in the city's middle-
class west end, in the path of
Negro residential migration out
ward from the city center. Pre
viously all-white, its enrolment has
jumped from 900 to 1400 and now
a third of the students are
Negroes. Thanks to cooperative
efforts by the school admimstra
tion and the neighborhood associ
at ion, the transition was made
without serious incident. The end
of segregation at Soldan is com
plete. Negroes and whites mingle
freely in classes, ' in the lunch
rooms, in gymnasium and athletic
activities, in clubs, school elec
tions and other extra curricular
affairs. Seven of the faculty of 83
are Negroes. No complaint has
been received from whites about
the Negro teachers.
Some comparisons are reported
on the experience at Soldan. Negro
students have a "general tend
ency" to be tardier and more in

support for the natural gas bill. ,
He urged an inquiry to deter

A special Senate investigating
committee shrugged the suggestion
off. Chairman George (D-Ga) held
the question of phony telegrams
doesn t have any bearing ' on this
particular inquiry.
The investigation was set up by
the Senate to look into the question
whether a $2,300 contribution to
Case's re-election campaign by Ne

get Case to vote for 'the gas bill.

Governor to Give Up
Flying Own Airplane
Gov. Elm Smith's private
airplane is for sale.
The new governor announced
Friday that because of lack of
time and his heavier responsi
bilities, he has recluctantiy de
cided that he will forego the
pleasures ef piloting his own
plane for the present The
plane is a four-place Cessna 180.
"With my increased responsi-'
bilities the state of Oregon,
Gov. Smith said, It seems best
to dispose of my airplane and

Farmers Union Hears Tax
Report; Morse Due Today
By MI.LIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, Tke Stalesmaa '
Although Mate income taxes will probably bring less returns be
cause of lower farm incomes the state has a possibility of coming
out with a small "cushion" in the year head, according to State Sen.
Rudie Wilhelm Jr., who is a member of the tax interim committee.
The senator spoke Friday at the 46th annual convention of the
Oregon State Farmers Union, now in session at Veterans of Foreign
Wars Hall in Salem. Attendance
this year has been large in the
first two days of the three-day
event. It is expected to reach a
peak Saturday when Sen. Wayne
Morse speaks at 11 am at a
public session.
Carry Aloag
"Unless "we tnerense" expenses
more than normal, the present tax
structure will carry us along,"
Wilhelm said in his afternoon ad
dress. However, he admitted the
problem of increasing school de
mands, and left the thought that
sales tax was not unspeakable in
the state taxOinterim committee.
"Because of the schools, we may
have to increase our taxes. Oppo
sition to more property tax is loud.
Oregon's personal income tax is
the higest of any state in the na
tion. There's no scarcity of tax
ideas submitted to us, but we've
found none that everyone likes,"
the senator concluded as he ticked
off a dozen or more tax "possibili
ties" among them the sales tax. He
reminded the group that the cigar
ette tax will be on the ballot this
fall. , .
Study Underway
Some study of the Interim com
mittee is being given on the claim
that Oregon's "high taxes are
keeping out industry," he said,
as he also reported that the com
mittee was working with Oregon
State College on a study which,
when completed, should show
whether the farmer is paying
more than his share of the tax
burden and how much more,
In answer to questions on the
possibility of a school equalization
tax on state level, Senator Wil
helm admitted the "wide differ
ences" in
assessed valuation in
the state, and said this was being
corrected, as rapidly as possible.
He also said it was conceivable
"that a logger or contractor might
shift equipment into a county that
has lower assessed valuation that
one in which he lives." He pointed
out that there was already some
equalization, but added that it may
need some "stepping-up." (Addi
tional details Sec. 1, Page 3.)
Oregon to Be
97 Tuesday
Gov. Elmo Smith called upon
Oregon residents to observe the
state's 97th birthday next Tuesday.
He suggested that schools give
recognition to the day.
Oregon sometimes is called the
Valentine State because the bill
granting statehood was signed by
President Buchanan on Feb. 14,
1859. The news didn't reach Oregon
until a month later. - -

Veto Forecast
If Farm Bill
Wins Approval
WASHINGTON Of - Secretary
ot Agriculture Benson lashed out
Friday at the farm bill approved
by the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee. He called it "inconsistent,"
saying it would create a new sur
plus problem after solving the
present one. "
Sen. Aiken of Vermont, top Re
publican on the committee, voiced
some of the objections echoed by
Benson and predicted a presiden
tial veto if the measure passes
both houses in its present form.
Sen. Ellender (D-La). chairman
of the committee which battled
within itself for more than 14 hours
Thursday to complete the bill, pre
dicted it will pass the Senate "pret
ty much as it came out of our
committee."
The bill combines President Eis
enhower's soil bank plan with high,
rigid price supports which Eisen
hower contends wouM nullify the
plan. Committee members voted
8-7 to support wheat, cotton, corn,
rice and peanuts at 90 per cent of
parity.
"These two parts of the Senate
bill are inconsistent," Benson said.
"The Congress will have to decide
which way it 'wants to go. We can
I not go both directions at the same
time."
Senate debate on the controversi
al election-year measure is expect
ed to start about Feb. 20.

Calls for High
Standards of
Government
By THOMAS G. WRIGHT JR.
Staff Writer, The Statetmaa
Gov. Elmo Smith asked for
maintenance of high standards
of state government as new
political developments added
to what he called "The present
highly charged political atmos
phere." Major interest in the continu
ing twirl of .political activities
focused on a telegram urging
Congressman Walter Norblad to
reconsider his decision to run for
governor and seek reelection as
representative from Oregon
First District
Less Lamented
The plea came from Mrs. Mar
shall C'ornett, Republican Na
tional Committeewoman a f r o rn
Klamath Falls, who lamented the
loss of Nor b lad's capital experi
ence and seniority and expressed
fears that the party might lost
the congressional seat to the
Democrats.
nuiunu, rrpuricuiy on a swing
through Southern Oregon, was
not available for comment on the
request received in Salem.
The telegram declared that
Oregon needs Norblad in Con
gress and his stated intention to
campaign for governor presents
grave danger ot the Democrats
capturing his congressional seat.
Concern Felt
Having in mind Senator Cor
don's statement a few years ago
regarding two congressmen. who
sacrificed their important com
mittee positions to go to the Sen
ate, I feel concerned that you1 too
should make such a sacrifice.
"Also there is grave danger of
your seat going to the opposition.
nave you seriously weighed these
conditions against (he possibility
of gain? You are valuable to us.
We need you In Congress."
Candidacy Told .
Meanwhile another candidate
announced ambitions to succeed
Norblad in the House. He is Sil-
verton area turkey grower R. F.
Cook, who filed Friday for the
Republican nomination
Cook an unsuccessful candidate
for Marion County Representative
in 1832 and 1934, said he would
base his campaign on reductions
in farm subsidies, foreign aid and
the national debt. A 56-year-old
former school teacher. Cook is
active In grange affairs.
Salem Attorney Jason Lee has
already announced he will seek
the Democratic nomination, and
Dr. Frank Fowler of Astoria says
he is considering entering the race
on the Republican side. Promin
ently mentioned as a GOP candi
date also, is Secretary of State
Earl T. Newbry of Salem.
Plea Issued
Governor Smith's plea for go
ernmental propriety came in a
meeting with top officials of the
executive department, first since
he assumed his duties on the death
of Gov. Paul L, Patterson last
week.
"The present highly charged po
litical atmosphere makes it par
ticularly important that state af
fairs be conducted with compe
tence, economy and utmost pro
priety, not for the political bene
fit of this administration but to
preserve, and where possible to
improve, existing nigK standards
of the state government,'' Smith
declared.
He told his department heads
dent. At the same time, he added,
few basic changes in the policies
of the late Gov. Patterson art
Confidence Expressed
Gov. Smith expressed confidence
in Robert Johnson, whose appoint-
jment as director of finance and
administration becomes effective
March I. He said Johnson will be
responsible for assisting In mainte
nance of smooth and cooperative
administrative machinery in the
executive branch, , t
The governor advised depart
ments to begin immediately the
preparation of suggested legisla
tive proposals for the 1957 session
and to give early attention to the
1957-59 budget which will be con
sidered by the next legislature.
