Bill Lowry, Eugene, addressed the Rotarians with a speech he originally delivered at the Eu gene Toastmaster's Club, attack ing universal military training. Hitler, Mussolini, and Japan all tried universal military train ing, Lowry said, "and found it contributed to their defeat." He said such a program con tributes to juvenile delinquency because youth is given "one thing to look forward to when he's 18 put on a uniform and learn how to kill or be killed." Lowry said this country can rely on its atomic weapons and radar-guided missiles for defense. "Large armies are obsolete," he declared. "The next war is going to be carried on by air, with push buttons. Lowry proposed that "one- fourth of the billions of dollars' spent on universal military train ing be given back to the taxpay ers to increase spending power; another fourth to science "to build defense second to none,' another fourth to build schools. roads, "and a higher standard of living; and the final fourth "to build a strong volunteer army of trained specialists." Recall Signatures Being Checked An elections department check of signatures on recall petitions against Springfield Councilmen Paris Breedlove and Ralph Nich olas will be completed sometime Friday, a spokesman at the elec tions office said Thursday. Petitions bearing about 800 names against each of the two councilmen were presented to theihas been much speculation of late elections department Monday for a check against registration rec ords. Springfield City Recorder Wil liam Manscll said Thursday the elections department has informed him that the signatures are run ning about 88 per cent valid reg istered voters. To force a recall election, the recall committee will need 628 valid signatures. The committee has charged that the two council- men have acted against the best interests of the city, . TULLOUT COMPLETED TOKYO Radio Pyongyang said the pullout of six Red China divisions from North Korea was completed Wednesday. Tax Bills Bog Down Oregon Legislature By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr. Of The Associated Press SALEM tin The Oregon Legis lature was bogged down Thursday in its maze of complicated tax bills. The tax committees of both houses were unable to take ex pected action on the income tax and 3 per cent sales tax bills. The House Tax committee, Hop ing to report out the sales tax measure, decided to wait until tne Senate acts on the House-passed income tax increase bill. HEARING MONDAY But the Senate Taxation Com mittee, sharply divided over the income tax question, couldn't agree on the income bill. Another meeting is scheduled for Thurs day night. The House committee called a Beaver Marsh Project Called Superfluous The head of the local Izaak Walton League chapter charged Thursday that Beaver Marsh power project isn't needed, would kill fish and destroy the natural beauty of the upper McKenzic River. , President Lew Sturgess said that the local chapter will fight the project through the "Save the McKenzie Assn."1 1 He said that statements on the project issued by the state Izaak Walton organization have not ac- curtely "voiced the true opposi tion of the league to this project. He explained that the local chapter favors multiple purpose dams and Beaver would be single purpose. It would, he said: ' "Damage more than enhance the fisheries on the McKenzie River through siltation and fluc tuation. "The natural beauty of the area adjacent to the river would be destroyed by the erection of the transmission lines. , "The Eugene Water and El ectric Board can obtain firm con tracts for low cost power. To date these contracts have been reject ed or minimum amounts of power have been purchased even though the Eugene Water and Electric Board has been voicing com plaints of power shortages." EWEB hopes to start construc tion of the project this fall and complete it by the fall of 1957. It would be a series of three low dams on the McKenzie between the Santiam and McKenzie High ways. The cost would be about $7 million. , Federal Judge's . Nomination Due By End of April Jess Gard, Republican national committeeman for Oregon, has said that a nomination for the vacant federal judgeship in Port land probably will be sent to the Senate by the end of April He declined to tell A. Robert Smith, Register-Guard Washing ton correspondent, who the man will be. The appointment has been pending for a year and Circuit Judge William G. East of Eugene was considcrde the leading candi date in January. But this was held up and there that' he has been superceded Smith said Wednesday, how ever, that officials who wouldn't be quoted say that East is still the man.

Services win be feridiyfa'. p.m., public hearing for next Monday afternoon on the sales tax meas ure, which would be referred to the people in June or July as an alternative to the income tax in. crease and cigarette tax bills. This House committee also an nounced it would begin to study an alternative plan. Under this plan, the Legislature wouldn t pass any sales tax at all Then, if a referendum attack were made on the income levy, Special election would be held next September to let the people decide. If the people voted against the income tax, then the Legislature would return here immediately to vote on the sales tax. The fact that the Legislature is far from agreement on the rev enue program makes adjourn ment in a week or two look more remote than ever. ' The Senate Taxation Commit tee is considering whether to boost income taxes 60 per cent. rather than 32 per cent as voted by the House. COULDN'T AGREE But the committee, which met two hours Thursday morning, couldn t agree on what method to use. Sens. Lowell Steen, Milton- Frcewater, and Philip S. Lowry, Medford, said they wanted to hold up the income tax bill until the House passes the sales tax. The other five members of the committee didn't agree. 1 Both Steen and Lowry indicat ed they oppose any income tax increase. The fate of the $14,900,000 state building program appeared doubtful as both committees said they want to carry it out only if the people don't knock out the Legislature s revenue program. This would mean it would be impossible to start work on the program until next fall. Some members of the Senate Tax Committee also said they would favor reducing the build ing program, which was approved Wednesday by the Ways and Means Committee. GRAVE MISGIVINGS Sen. Rudic Wilhelm, Portland Senate tax chairman, said he hopes the Senate can vote Mon day on whatever the Senate com mittee recommends. But he had grave misgivings as to what the Senate might do to it. As to the House-passed cig arette tax bill, the Senate com mittee was indifferent, feeling that the people would refer it and kill it. In a poll of the committee, two senators favored it, two opposed, and three said maybe.
