The tax bill, passed 84-0 Monday night, not only ex tended present rates on corporation income and excise taxes yielding four billion dollars, but added on an esti mated $650 million of additional revenues. President Eisenhower had asked extension of present taxes for another year. A worsening international cent senate votes to increase money for defense, health research, education and federal pay led the Senate to swell the Treasury's income in the bill. The $650 million was added through adoption of three of a series of what their sponsors called loophole-closing Grove Man Dies Tuesday After Crash A 71-year-old Collage Grove man, riding his bicycle to work, was fatally injured when struck by a pickup truck Tuesday morn ing, state police said.

The mishap was still-under investigation later Tuesday. Persons who knew Gagliano said he was widely known in the area.

Wl Four cars piled up in a mass collision within the city limits here, kill ing nine persons.

Dealers Trying to End Gasoline Price War An attempt was being made Tuesday to settle the gasoline price war in Lane County follow ine a meeting of the Lane County Gasoline Dealers Assn. Monday We hone to clear it up within four days, if it's going to clear," president Norris M. Jorgenson said Tuesday. Gasoline prices have dropped generally to 31.9 cents a gallon on reiular grades and 36.9 on premium. The prevailing prices earlier this year were J6. ana 41.9 cents. Jorgenson said some 125 scrv- ic: stations m llic tugene, opring ficld and surrounding area are involved. 'First' for Mrs. Green WASHINGTON Iff Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore) received a unique honor in heine elected chairman of nunn' delegation to the nnmnrrstie National Convention The election was Sunday, and Democratic Party officials nere, after a search through the files, Mill Mnndav it was the first time a wonun ever had been named to such a post in the parly. situation combined with re amendments advocated bv Democrats seeking to avoid a tag of fiscal irresponsibility for their party. The fate of these in conference with the House is dubious, since that branch had given advance notice it was not inclined to ac cept any tax amendments. The House originates revenue legisla tion under the Constitution. In disposing of the bill in a 14 hour session, the Senate passed one of the major items it had to handle before final adjournment. KOREAN WAR RATES The bill extends for another year the corporation income tax and excises on liquor, wine, beer, cigarettes, aulos, and auto parts and accessories. These all are Korean War rates. They have been extended each year since 1954. The bill also continues for an other year 10 per cent levies on lpcal telephone service, telegrams and passenger fares made effec tive during World War II. The Senate Finance Commit tee has recommended these be al lowed to die June 30, at a cost of $752 million a year. LOOPHOLE AMENDMENTS These were the loophole amendments adopted by the Sen ate: By Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D-Minn), to repeal the 4 per cent tax credit on stock dividend income, bringing in $350 million a year. By Sen. Joseph S. Clark CD Pa), to outlaw many entertain ment items now eligible as busi ness deductions, brining in $260 million annually. By Sen. Albeit Gore (D- Tenn), to provide that the per centage depletion allowance may apply only to the raw mineral value and not the finished prod uct. This would cut off a present $50-million Treasury loss. The po tential cost of this loophole has been estimated at $600 million annually if the Supreme Court upholds lower court decisions and more businesses take advantage of the rulings. SOME DEFEATED Defeated were amendments to boost revenue by putting in an income tax witholding system on dividends and interest, to cut the oil and gas depiction allowance, and to prevent the use of capital gains tax treatment lor depreci able property. The Senate rejected 45-37 an attempt by Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La) to add to the measure a $144 million increase in the share of federal grants for needy per sons on the public assistance rolls. The bill, in addition to the tax extensions, carries a one-year oightbillion-dollar increase in the $285-billion permanent national debt ceiling.

', 'A frr . -A McKenzie Pass Open for Travel The McKenzie Pass opened at 8 a.m., Monday, for travel between Eugene and Sisters. Slate Highway Department officials said earlier that the opening would be delayed un til Friday. Snow closed the pass on Jan. 8. Highway deparlment offici als in Kugene Tuesday said that pavement on the pass was hare, and Havel would not be delayed by road conditions. Several feet of roadside snow remain along the highway, they said. Tuesday's summer weather, appropriate for the first day of the season, will continue through Wednesday, the Eu gene weatherman predicted. Summer officially arrived at 1:43 a.m., Tuesday. New Group To Oppose Expressway A ban on expressway construc tion within heavily populated portions of Eugene is the goal of a citizens' group organized Monday. Residents living along the right-of-way of the city's pro posed Spencer Butte Expressway met at the home of Gerald Huff, 1340 Mill St., to form the "Lane Protective Assn." The group has retained Donald Husband, Eugene attorney, to draw up petitions for signatures to force an election on the ex pressway issue. PETITION PREPARED Husband has also been asked to prepare a petition form for a measure that would eliminate the city's right to restrict prop erly owners from "the orderly development of their land," even if it falls in the path of a pro posed street. The council now is considering an ordinance to prevent new con struction on tho Spencer Butte Expressway right-of-way. Huff said about 60 persons at tended Monday's meeting, includ ing a number who are not resi dents along the expressway right- of-way but who are opposed to J expressways. , The group will be a. perma nent organization, he said, to take up various matters of interest to taxpayers. Murnard F. England, 1825 Pearl St., was elected temporary chairman, and Mrs. Alberta Hef- fron, 1159 Mill St., was elected temporary secretary-treasurer. Both Huff and Mrs. Hcffron said Tuesday it was the group's feeling that the proposed north south Spencer Butte Expressway would, in effect, cut the city in half. Mrs. Heffron cited an article in the June 20 issue of U.S. News and World Report in which she said City Planner Victor Gruen questions the value of freeways within cities. Huff said there is a growing feeling by some plan ners that expressways do more harm than good in American com munities. Answering the contention that expressways do more harm than good, Howard Buford, Lane Coun ty planning consultant, Tuesday said, "There is no truth in it, basically." TRAFFIC VOLUME Said Buford: "Traffic is here to slay, and in increasing volume. If anything will destroy a city it the inadequate handling of traffic, and no one has devised a better method than over a con trolled access roule. As for bisecting the city, the alternative is to have the entire area dcslroycd by moving traffic over congested streets. The new Lane Protective Assn. was spurred to action when the Eugene City Council at its last meeting adopted a proposed route for the Broadway to 19th Avenue section of the expressway. The route will run along the cast side of Mill south to 16th. then angle west to Pearl at about 19th. The property owners plan to meet again next Tuesday night to go over petitions which Hus band is preparing. They would need about 2,200 signatures of registered voters to force an election on each of the two measures. INSIDE TODAY Administration to stop per sonal diplomacy. Page 2A.

Katilication was expect ed before nightfall. The pact was placed before the Senate by Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas) who said he expects "no serious diffi culty" on approval of the pact. It was expected, however, that action on the treaty would be pre ceded by a far-ranging political debate on U. S. policies in the Far Last. Johnson told newsmen it is "im portant that the world know we will neither accelerate nor delay the treaty because of events in Japan." Labor and leftist groups in Japan arc staging a massive seven-hour nationwide strike and their leaders predict massive dem onstrations in Tokyo in a last- gasp effort to block the final, formal steps in the ratification process.

The treaty, replacing one in ef fect since . 1951, pledges the United States and Japan to de fend each other in case of attack.

The emperor had ordered the award May 17, the centennial of. Japanese-American relations.
