'Monster' Tag
Given UMT
By Speaker
Springfield Rotarians Wednes
day noon were told that universal
military training is a "monster
undermining America."
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."

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. "

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.

The M c K e n z i e- Willamette

The hospital's board of direc

lowest of four bidders.
The board also opened bids on
supplying various types of insur
ance for the hospital and referred
them to the hospital's insurance

The board approved rate sched

way," he explained, "and if we
find we can lower rates in a year
or so we certainly will."
The board has previously .ap
proved rates for X-ray, laboratory
and miscellaneous services which
generally follow the rates set by
the State Industrial Accident
Commission.
Blood for transfusians will be
supplied free of charge other
than for usual hospital and
laboratory fees through a com
munity "walking blood bank."
Donors will supply the blood
without payment. Patients receiv
ing blood will be encouraged to
replace it later, Fleissner said,
but won't be charged if they are
not able to.
Volunteers are busy in Spring
field signing up participants in
the walking blood bank. Those
who pledge to give blood if they
are called receive a "blood drop"
lapel button. Each participant's
blood will be typed at a later
