Tax Law Application Could Add Revenues Oregon is losing about $81,000 a year in taxes because it doesn't invoke a provision of the law call ing for a retaliatory tax on out-of-state insurance companies. In surance Commissioner V. Dean Musser said in Eugene Friday. Musser, reporting to the Legis lative Interim Tax Study Commit tee, said he believes the law has never been used since it was adopted more than ten years ago. Rep. Clarence Barton (D-Co- quille), chairman of the interim committee, said the state may be able to collect as much as a mil lion dollars in back taxes from several large out-of-state firms, But he indicated a legal opinion Sunset Home Administrator To Leave Post The resignations of the Rev. B. T. Gabrielsen, superintendent and pastor of Severson Memorial Home Assn. (Sunset Home) and his wife, matron of the home, have been announced. The Rev. Gabrielsen said that he plans to complete his work at the home about March 31, and will then take an extended vaca tion. He and his wife are resigning their posts to "take a rest," he said. Future plans for the couple may include similar work in Seattle. The Gabrielsons joined the Sunset Home staff in 1954, when the home had only 17 paying resi dents and 11 life members. Now there are 171 residents at the home. "The job has been a tremen dous wear," the Rev. Gabrielson said. "We haven't had a vaca tion for 35 to 40 years." No announcement has been made on staff replacements for the home. 12 Drivers Suspended The State Department of Motor Vehicles has released names of 12 Lane County drivers whose licens es were ordered suspended be tween Feb. 8 and Feb. 11.

The loss of revenue has been uncovered during recent weeks by interim committee investiga tion, according to Barton. He blamed the auditing of the secre tary of state s office for failure to discover the tax omission in previous years. Under the law, Oregon may col lect taxes from out-of-state com panles at the same rale those in surance firms pay in their home state, if any Oregon firms are operating there. There are four states Cali fornia, Hawaii, Idaho and Texas where insurance companies serving Oregon pay a higher tax, Under the unused law, Oregon can collect taxes at the same rate levied by the four states. If it did do so, the state would get an additional $81,397.67 a year in come, according to Musser. Series of Burglaries 'Puzzles 9 Eugene Police Punling" is the gene police describe a series of office burglaries during the past 12 weeks. The pattern Is similar In the 24 break-ins which police are investigating. Doors have been battered down, windows broken and desks and files ransacked. The baffling thing is that very little property has been stolen. Except for coins, often "cof fee" money, kept in desks, the total loss in property has been less than $100. Vandalism has been a more serious problem, however. Dam age has been estimated at more than $1,000. "The whole thing indicates the work of amateurs," says Po lice Chief Art Ellsworth. Police detectives believe many of the office burglaries may have been committed by the same parties. Most of the crimes have occurred during weekends. The first break-ins occurred Dec. 1 in two downtown offices. A cash register was opened in the Girl Scout office and burg lars pocketed $62. Ten dollars was missing from the second of fice. The Jan. 14 break-in at the Lighthouse Temple office at By DEAN REA Of the ReglaterSoud way Eu- 1209 Olive St. is typical of the methods used in the burglaries. Police believe a sledge hammer was used to smash a hole in the office door. Once inside, the burglarrs used a claw hammer to open a metal box. A total of $3.50 in coins was stolen. Contents of desks and files were dumped on the floor. Police found the ham mer outside the building. Eleven more offices have been burglarized since that time, with the major loss re sulting from vandalism. Notes have been found at a number of the burglary scenes. One contained this message: "I was here. Me too; Me too." Another note warned: "Keep this to yourself, or else." Police said the warning was pinned to a card that said: "Hope this little message will brighten up the day and show you're being thought of in just the warmest way." "We don't think it's very fun ny," says Ellsworth, "and when we apprehend whoever is re sponsible, I bet they won't think it's very funny either." The sun heats the glass and mercury in a thermometer, caus ing it to record a temperature higher than that of the air. Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon Sunday. February 21. I960 C Lumber Price Rise Expected Green fir lumber prices have become firmer after a period of difficulty, and Random Lengths, the Eugene market letter, said this week that a gradual increase in price levels is indicated. The mill price of green stand ard and better dimension has in creased about a dollar per thous and over the past two weeks, the letter reported. Crow's Lumber Market News Service, Portland, reported its index shows a slight decline in the two-week period ending Feb. 18. The index covers all north west species. Plywood prices continue to present a confused picture, Ran dom Lengths said. Sheathing prices are off at most mills. Sand ed stock is at $66 and firm. Attend Conference Nine members of the Eugene Golden Age Club and several members of the Springfield group were in Salem Thursday to attend the Oregon Health Council Conference. Six of the Eugene delegate put on a musical presentation for the conference, and some par ticipated in panel discussions on the Golden Age program for sen ior citizens. Navy Officer Describes Life At South Pole Antarctica may have once had a temperate climate, members of the Springfield Kiwanis Club were told Thursday noon. LL John Hilt, a young, naval flier who returned recently from a 65-day stay at a base near the South Pole, said scientific expedi tions have discovered fern fossils in the antarctic, indicating the climate once was much more mild. Hilt is assigned to a U. S. Navy squadron participating in "Opera tion Deep Freeze. The pilot, who left the Antarc tic Dec. 26, said his squadron left Christchurch, New Zealand for the South Pole region in early October. This is the best period for flying in the Antarctic be cause the sun shines 24-hours a day and temperatures are only about 20 degrees below zero, he said. Some four-fifths of the world's ice is located in Antarctica, a con tinent of rocks, snow, ice, and volcanic ash that is twice as large as the United States, the speaker said. The elevation at the South Pole, he explained, is 9,200 feet above sea level "and it is all solid ice." Hilt said the base where he stayed is about 700 miles from the South Pole and can accom modate 400 men. It includes a small chapel, mess hall, and liv ing quarters. Surveys are now being made from the base for possible con struction of hard-surface runways, Hilt said. If runways can be con structed in the Antarctic, military aircraft from the Far East to South America via the South Pole can save two days in travel time over present routes, the pilot said. During the next five to six years. Hilt said his squadron will photograph the entire Antarctic continent. "This will be a tre mendous project but well worth the effort." Hilt said the Antarctic base has great importance as a weather station and as a center for scien tific expeditions. Japanese Films Seth P. Ulman, originator of two new films on Japanese clas sical drama, will show his films in the Museum of Art Monday at 8 p.m. on the University of Oregon campus. The films are of Japan' Noh and Kyogen drama.
