McKay Sees Higher Slate Tax Revenues
SALEM (U.R Gov. 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.
