'At that time I told the people he was either talking off the cuff or through his hat. The 45 per cent surtax, plus lowered exemp tions, plus a . lack of any raise for corporations, passed by the Republican Legislature of 1953, was unfair, unrealistic, and de signed to soften up the people for the tales tax program of the Port land Chamber of Commerce. Had the Legislature adopted the Dem ocratic tax program, offered early in the session, the budget would have been balanced with millions of dollars less cost to the taxpay ers," Holmes said.

(Statesman Photo by another Swede John Erirksen.) World Beauty Pays Visit to Salem Area A blonde world beauty who speaks six languages, if you count ; the one she speaks with her Swedish blue eyes, is blessing Salem eyes with a two-day visit j on her U.S. tour as Miss Universe ; of 1956. i She is Hillevl Rombin, pro-1 nounced with a Scandinavian ac- j cent she smilingly says she pick-! ed up from the Swedes in Min- j nea polls, her last stop before ! coming here for a Meier and Frank fashion show appearance today. Though she is a genuine lin guistEnglish, French, German, Spanish and her native Swedish she has only said "ja" In the latter, betrothing her to a Swed ish Air Force officer from her hometown of Upsala, who is aim ing for a career in the diplomatic corps. The 22-year-old queen of world pulchritude cuts a sharp mental figure in addition to the 36-23-36 proportions which obviously help ed her to win the crown. A college education in lan guages led her to a Canary Island interpreter job from where she entered the Miss Universe con test. And in any language she was worthy of the title. Miss Rombin is scheduled for 11 a.m. appearance at the Meier and Frank store, followed by a luncheon there with the Com munity Council made up of presi dents of Salem women's organiz ations. A men's organization would be much more apprecia tive. A movie career, which she says wasn't exactly the aim of her en try into the Miss Universe com petition, is complicating Miss Rnmbin's plans some. Wedding bells may wait awhile if film makers renew the contract under which she has already had roles in "The Benny Goodman Story'' V CX1I11 V 10.WS Loot Leaving THE DALLES It was no illusion w hen the Jesse Smith family, driving home from a brief vacation, saw some of their be longings going the opposite direc tio in another car. Arriving home a few minutes later, the Smiths found not only much of their furniture and cloth ing was missing, but several doors and windows as well. Sheriff's investigators said it seemed likely the thieves had made several visits to the Smith residence dur ing the family's absence.. Smith said it would take some lime to estimate his loss.

City Atty. Alexander G.

Reds Eligible for Social Security, Official Rules WASHINGTON I - Employes of the Communist Party are elig ible f(r social security, a govern ment legal officer ruled Friday. This apparently ended a long hassle over whether employes of the party and its affiliates work for a (oreign government in a legal sense. The social security act excludes from coverage "serv ices performed in the employe of a foreign government." The bureau of old age and sur vivors insurance ruled last year that the Communist Party was an arm of a foreign government and that services performed for it could not be used as a basis for social security benefitis. With a blast at communism, ref eree Peter J. Hoegen of the Social Security Arhninistration Friday reversed the bureau, saying "de mocracy provides due process of law to our enemies, as well as our friends, and guarantees equal pro tection of the law to all."

That and removal of church and school functions from an ad missions tax feature were the major efforts Friday as the com mittee worked long hours to whip the three percent sales tax bill into shape. Today, in the third day of their session at the Capitol here, committeemen will meet the problem of how to distribute sales tax revenues should the bill be put into law.

Kehrli had earlier asked the committee to consider allocation of any sales tax collections to the state's incorporated cities rather than by counties. The utilities decision was an in again out-again affair with the committee first deciding to tax their sales, then excluding tele phone and telegraph, and later tentatively removing electricity .and gas as well. ! Possibility of a $20,000,000 sur plus gathered strength in an esti mate by Committee Chairman Rudie Wilhelm Jr. along those lines.
