Martin Says
Mq New Taxes
WASHINGTON (P) House
Republican deader Martin pre
dicted flatly today that Congress
will not Increase taxes this year.
He voiced doubt, too, that Presi
dent Truman will get the new eco
nomic controls he Is asking for.
A tax reduction Is more likely
than tax Increase, Martin said.
He Is author of a bill proposing
to out excise levies on such
things as furs, luggage, jewelry,
transportation, communications
bck to their pre-war rates
"If there Is any tax bill I be
lieve It will be mine," he told
' reporters.
Turning to economic controls,
he said:
"While I have not canvassed the
situation. In view of the general
economic situation, I do not be
lieve It is likely that Congress will
pass new controls."
Mr. Truman has asked for
standby price, wage and allocation
controls, and power for the gov
ernment to expand Industrial
facilities.
The congressional economic
committee will have by next Mon
day Its decision on what Congress
should do about these requests.
Dietrichs were swamped with
telephone calls and telgrams of
fering suggestions.
"Just tell everyone he's going to
be named Philbert when he's
baptized next Sunday."
Bomb Defense
Plans Laid
WASHINGTON (U.R) The
Atomic Energy Commission told
Congress Monday it is preparing
detailed plans for the defense of
the nation against atomic bomb
attack.
Commission Manager Carroll L.
Wilson said the commission is
preparing a detailed report on the
best method of atomic defense.
He said the commission is work
ing In close cooperation with the
national military establishment.
Part of the plan Is to place per
sonnel trained in the use of Gel
ger counters at strategic points
throughout the nation; These
counters are used to detect radio
activity. Wilson said there already is a
stockpile of these Geiger counters
at Oak Ridge, Tenn., scene of a
major atomic energy plant.
Wilson did not indicate when
the report would be ready.
Judge Warns
Union Students I
Sen. Paul Patterson, Hills-
boro, denying that "the legis
lature is under the dairy in
dustry's thumb," declared the
bill would cost Oregon s dairy
industry $4,200,000 a year.
Patterson said that during the
war, consumption of oleomargar
ine doubled, causing a serious de
cline in the number of dairy cows.
"We're asking that oleomargar
ine go to the housewife for just
what it is a substitute for but
ter," Patterson said.
Anything but Yellow
"There is one natural trademark
that nature gave to butter, which
is it's color. We don't care if they
