'Oklahoma' to
Play Portland
At last the famous musical sen'
s'ation "Oklahoma" has come to
the northwest ,with a two-weeks
engagement scheduled to begin
July 30 at the Portland Auditor
ium. .
The play will come direct from
12-week engagements in both San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
In a little less than three years,
during which it. has given more
than 12S0 performances, the
Guild's - National Company of
Oklahoma has achieved an un
matched record of never playing
to an unsold seat in a score of
cities from coast to coast. The
cap-stone of its career, preceding
the huge business done in . San
Francisco and Los Angeles, was
its Chicago run of 14 months 542
performances with demand so
heavy that as many persons were
disappointed at each performance
as were accommodated.
Based on Folk Play
The play is based on the Okla
homa folk play, "Green Grow the
Lilacs," by Lynn Riggs. Lyrics
are by Oscar Hammerstem, II;
music was composed by Richard
Rodgers. The dances, one of the
most popular features of the en
tertainment, were created by Ag
nes de Mille. Stage direction is
that of Rouben Mamoulian, while
the production was supervised by
Theresa Helburn and Lawrence
Langner, co-administrators of the
Theater Guild. These same per
sons last , season- produced "Car
ousel," New York's biggest musi
cal success since "Oklahoma."
The National Company of
"Oklahoma" remains at its orig
inal strength of 67 singers, danc
ers and comedians, with a sym
phony orchestra of 28 musicians
directed by Salvatore Dell 'Isola,
Mail orders were being accept
ed at the auditorium beginning
Monday, July 15, for all perform
ances. Box office sales will begin
at the J. K. Gill Co. store in Port
land Monday, July 22.

Gen. Short
Gives View
DALLAS,' Tex. U.B Maj.
Gen. Walter C. Short, retired,
Saturday issued the following
s:atement in conjunction with the
Pearl Harbor report:
"It is the right of every Amer
ican to have a fair and impartial
trial. This was denied me for four
years. At long last I was given an
opportunity to present my side of
the controversy before the highest
tribunal in America American
public opinion.
"The majority report of the in
vestigating, committee rejected
the finding of 'dereliction of duty'
by the Roberts commission but
did find 'the Hawaiian command
ers guilty of an error in judg
ment.' This finding was made in
spite of their statement that the
War Plans Division of the War
Department 'failed to discharge
its direct responsibility to advise
Short that he had not properly
alerted his command. Short had
reported 'alerted against sab
otage.' -
"The majority members of the
investigating committee are en
titled to their point of view, but I
am satisfied that the testimony
presented at the hearings fully
absolved me from any blame and
I believe such will be the verdict
of history. As I have stated be
fore, my conscience is clear."
NEW YORK (U.PJ Adm.
Husband E. Kitimel refused Sat
urday to comment on the Pearl
Harbor congressional comm'ttee
report blaming him and Lt. Gen.
Walter C. Short for the Hawaii
debacle heralding America's en
trance into World War II.
Kimmel said he wanted to read
the 250,000 word report thorough

Calls Sale Tax Fairer
The financial solution suggested
by the judge was for a 2 per cent
tax on all retail sales.
'This would not only serve to
give us a substantial highway and
road fund but would go a long
way toward arresting the alarm
ing increase to the general prop
erty tax," he said.
This method of taxation would
be fairer than an accelerated
property tax would be, because.
Judge Hurd said, "a non-propor
tionate amount of liquid wealth
is now in the hands of non-prop
erty owners. There are many
people earning upwards of $20 a
day who don't pay a cent for
county taxes."
There are several states which
use this type of taxation. Among
tnem are Washington. California.
Nevada, and Utah. With the ex
ception of California, they are all
states which have the same prob
lem as Oregon, merely a large
land area to maintain and a small
