Douglas McKay forecast an increase In statu tax revenues in keeping with expanding industrial and agricultural- activity in Oregon, when he welcomed county asses sors at the capitol Tuesday at the start of a two -day in-service training program. The govcrnoi said Oregon's population growth brings about the need for more jobs. These can come only as result of new business and farm operations, which in turn will broaden the tax base and lead to greater tax income. The in-training course, spon sored by the State Tax Commis sion, concludes Wednesday. The first iron object made In North America's initial Ironworks was a cooking pot.

Use Koch, Fot and Frowsy, Threatens to Commit Suicide HEIDELBURG, Germany (U.R) Use Koch, the notorious "Witch of Buchenwald," has threatened to kill herself if she has to face a war crimes court again, investigators disclosed Wednesday. The concentration camp queen with a fancy for lampshades made of tatooed human skin will have her pretext for suicide just a month from now. But skeptical sleuths doubted that the threat was more than bluster for a bid for sympathy. Now fat and frowsy, Use Koch, " will walk out of Landsberg Pri son, where Adolf Hitler wrote part of Mein Kampf, on Oct. 18, four days before she becomes 43 years old. She then will have served four years for Buchenwald atrocities. German police will be waiting at the gates of Landsberg to cart her away to jail in Augsburg. There she will await trial on charges of committing against Germans the same atrocities she committed against allied nationals at Buchenwald. Most Infamous In the sordid post-war revela tions of the horrors in the Nazi concentration camps, the case of Use Koch became one of the most infamous. A witness testified that he had seen lampshades made of human skin in the Koch home. Further, he claimed knowledge of a pri soner who was killed and skinned at the prompting of Use Koch. Term Shortened She was sentenced to life im prisonment. But a review board held that evidence was insuffi cient to establish that she had ordered the execution of inmates to get their skin for lampshades. It recommended that her term be cut to four years. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, then military governor, fol- lowed the recommendation. i The commutation set off a I storm of protest and debate in the United States. Has 3 Children , Her three children live with her sister in Ludwigsburg. One was! conceived while she was in cus- tody, and born after her trial. The identity of the father never was established. I She need not worry about a' death sentence when the Germans ' try her. The new West German constitution abolished capital punishment. Minton Hearing Set Tuesday WASHINGTON A) The Senate Judiciary Committee has ordered a public hearing next Tuesday on the appointment of Judge Sherman Minton to the supreme court. Members decided, at a closed session, to listen then to any wit nesses who wish to protest Presi dent Truman's selection of Min ton to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Wiley B. Rutledge. There was no talk of calling Minton himself to testify, mem bers said. Ordinarily, supreme court nominees are not asked to appear. Senator Ferguson (R-Mith), a committee member, said he wants full hearings on the nomination. Minton, former Indiana senator, is now a federal judge in Chicago. Statehood Ads Urged at Meet SAN FRANCISCO WP) Rep. Mitchell (D-Wash) urged the eleven Western states Democratic conference to demand that Con gress enact immediate statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. In a speech prepared for de livery before the conference, Mitchell asserted "justice, logic and vision demand the immediate admission into the union" of the two territories. During a recent inspection tour, of Alaska with Air Secretary W. Symington, Mitchell said, he talk ed with Alaskans "in all walks of life, and I heard the same story." He said they wanted and needed statehood. Only with statehood, he said, "can we be assured that its eco nomical and political development will keep pace with the respon sibilities imposed by its geograph ical location." He said the findings of his in spection trip "should prove dis turbing to all members of Con gress." "Adequate national defense of our northern frontier is being neg lected and delayed because of shameful lack of adequate housing for military and civilian personnel assigned to Alaska." Mitchell said he felt the same considerations apply to Hawaii that apply to Alaska.
