version of surplus income tax col
lections for construction needs of

said that the income tax surplus
which is "gathering dust in the
state treasury" will grow to at
least $31,000,000 by the end of this
June.
Governor Hall suggested that
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
and other civic organizations of
the state take the lead in using
the Initiative petition method to
place a ballot proposition before
the voters in the November gen
eral election which, If approved
would effect the transfer of
"whatever funds are necessary"
from the tax surplus to the sys
tem of higher education.
Friday, President Ed Pape said
that the Eugene Junior Chamber
is contacting the junior chambers
of other cities to determine the
prevailing sentiment in regard to
the governor s plan.
Navajos to Receive
Surplus Army Goods
SEATTLE A half million
dollars worth of government sur
plus clothing, stored at Fort Lewis
and other western Washington
points and offered to the poverty-
stricken Navajo Indians, has been
declined by the Interior Depart
ment, a War Assets Administra
tion spokesman said recently.
O. A. Bradeen, regional WAA
director, said the clothing had
been offered if the Interior De
partment, In charge of Indian af
fairs, would arrange to have It
shipped. The WAA director said
he understood rejection was based
on a Iacjj of funds for such a pur
pose.
The clothing Includes large
numbers of Army blankets and
other reconditioned articles.

The farm leaders are President
Allan B. Kline of the American
Farm Bureau Federation and J. T.
Sanders, counsel for the National
Grange. They gave their views to
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Kline said his group feels this
country should help western
European nations "helo themselves
In such a manner that it will be in
our long-time best interest." '
He added that this must be done
without "resort to a regulated
economy at home.
Gear Economy
Sanders said the United States
may be able to double its standard
of living in the next 20 to 30 years
"if we can gear our economy into
a long-time peaceful world

Senator Bridges (R-aVH), chair
man of the Appropriations Com

Bridges said he is not opposing
the recovery plan "but that doesnt

The President told his news con
ference Thursday that he wants
all of the Marshall Plan or noth
ing. Under questioning he said he
was referring mainly to the four
uninterrupted years of assistance
for western Europe which the pro
gram proposes.
He emphasized, however, that he
thinks the full $6,800,000,000 asked
for the IS months beginning April
1 is absolutely essential. He said
he is opposed to what he said were
Republican suggestions for trim
ming it by $2,300,000,000. .
Such a reduction, Mr. Truman
declared, would make it a relief
and not a recovery program.

"excess inventory control power

Wearing the end of a week-long

point program to deal with rising
prices:
1. A new excess inventory con

scarce commodities.
4. Complete revision of govern

Democrats Try
Tax Substitute
WASHINGTON A Demo
crats hatched a plan Friday to use
the GOP tax cut bill as the model tee
for a substitute containing a
$3,200,000,000 corporation tax.
As a way to save a part of
President Truman's own tax pro
gram, it looked like a forlorn hope.
The great election year debate
entered its second day with Re
publicans confident their bill, with
its $6,800,000,000 in tax reduc
tions, will pass unchanged on
Monday. The Republican bill does
not provide any new taxes.
The Democratic leadership had
just about given up any idea of
putting the President's $40-a-head
tax-cutting proposal before the
House. Instead, the search was on
