The Senate passed a bill Wed
nesday to put hobbles on bank
holding companies. It looks to be
tailored especially to curb Trans
america Corporation, holding com
pany for a vast empire of finance
and industry in the West. Sen.
Morse tried to get the bill amended
to apply to all bank holding com
panies but failed, but one amend
ment he offered was adopted. Last !
session the House passed a very!
restrictive bank holding company
bill by an overwhelming majority. !
The two hills differ in some re-;Te
specU and ' will now go to con
ference.
The main'ftaturei of the Senate
bill are: '
1. Requirement of federal re-
bank holding company could ac
quire aa interest in any new
banks.
1 Preventing 1 a -bank holding
company from buying banks In
other states unless state laws allow

aimed right at Transamerica which

Employment
Up Sharply
Oregon's spring employment up
bjravhas been so rapid that 11.100
more persons' are working 'than
there were a year ago, the state
unrmpl ivment compensation com
mission reported Thursday. ,
The commission estimated that'
454 1C3 persons were working at
the end of March. Unemployment!
is running 10 per cent under a ,
ear ago. -i.
The employment gains were
made despite the fact that March
employment in the lumber industry
was at the low point for the win
ter. There were 53,200 persons
working in lumber jobs, compared
with 74,300 last August.

I would boost the taxpayers millage
rate by 7.1 mills and the total
tax levy for schools to $3,300,583.
The remaining $1,880,214 will ited agreement reached in talks
come largely from county, state Prime Minister Eden held with
and basic school apportionment ; Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin
funds, collection of back taxea;and communist party chief Nikita
and a carryover $60,000 from the
current budget.
Revolving Fund
Actually expenditures for the
1938-57 year will total $8,472,
890.73, but $2,902,000 of that fig
ure is represented in the bond
issue for junior high school con
struction which will be paid over
the next 20 years. Another $500,'
000 is for revolving funds which
do not add to the taxpayer cost
of the year. '
The millage increase, combined
with present county and city
taxes, would bring the total to
102.7, topping the 100 mark for
the first time. Results of city
bonding measures on the May 18
ballot are ' not included in the
estimate, but if all were approved
they would add about 9.5 mills
more to the total.
Continue Study
Salem's five-men citizens com

H ? s)'m School .Board
and districts administrators, de -
cided to continue its study of the 1
record budset Monday, but there
is little likelihood of any major
changes by the committee's final
decision.
While salaries accounted for
most of the $598,898.62 Increase,
costs were up in most other
areas, too, to take care of esti
mated enrollment rise of 1,100
pupils next year. Salaries, in
cluding $154,000 for additional
employes to handle the influx,
represented $426,309 of the over
all boost Annual raises for
teachers, with some adjustments
to bring older teachers' pay into
line, accounted for most of the
remainder.
Auxiliary Boost
Other increases included an,
079 for clant ooeration. $6,510
for maintenance and repair, and
$17,108 for auxiliary agencies
(health
service, transportation, ;
recreation and school lunch pro

LONDON un - Britain and the

help ban the H-bomb, push world

in Palestine.
The promise was made in a
joint communique issued early
Friday morning.
The statement set forth the lmv

Eden and Bulganin signed the
communique Thursday night in a
two-minute ceremony at the Brit
ish foreign office.
The ceremony was In an. ante

Downing St. Security guards,
newsmen and officials jammed
around the flood-lit table.
Khrushchev, who sat next to
Bulganin, looked around at the
crowd with a grin and said: '
"Iff frightening."
The signing ceremony was held
after Bulganin and Khrushchev
returned from a visit to Edinburgh,-
It was the last round of
their 10-day tour of Britain.
. While the communique reported
no progress on major East-West

County Aims at Budget
Within 6 Per Cent Limit
; ;. U' .l,i Vv" CALVIN
""''A Staff Writer.
Marion County!' rapid growth accompanied by demands for in
creased services is responsible for what will be a "heavier than nor
mal" budget request this year, County Judge Rex Hartley Mid Thurs
day. -,
' A $3,233,845 request will be submitted to the Marion County Budget
Committee when it meets May
nances. The figures is based on
preliminary budget estimates from
the various county departments.
and is $614,930 more than was au
thorized for the present fiscal year.
Total estimated revenues and
expendable surplus for 1936-57
equals $1,612,740, Hartley said.
This would create a levy of $1,
623,105 if the entire preliminary
budget were approved.
The levy figure is $96,503 more
than a 6 per cent increase over
this year's budget, and would be
the minimum amount the budget
committee could lop off and still
avoid calling for a county-wide
vote. . .
Wlthla Limitation
I think the budget can be bal
anced within the ( per cent limita
tion and still meet our obligations
to the county's neds," Hartley
5aift Thi? was taken to imply that
citizens would hot be asked to vote
a bond measure, which would be
necessary if more than I per cent
of this year's budget is added to
next year's.
Thus it was assumed there
would be no marked increase in !
the present county millage of 17.2.
No Elaboration
Probably the only place where
county needs would not be met is
to the county a needs," Hartley
said. However, he did not choose
to elaborate on the matter at the
present time.
Hartley said "department heads
have been very realistic in their
requests.
