Nine Le gislat From Taxes to Hazing ors Speak at Forum UO Professor to Establish Observatory in Cascades A University of Oregon pro fessor will establish an observa tory somewhere high in the Cas cades next summer to conduct the first research observations in astronomy ever attempted in Oregon. E. G. Ebbighauscn. professor of physics, has received a $5,500 grant from the National Science Foundation to set up the sum. mer research post. , Exact location of the observa tory has not yet been chosen, al though it will probably be situ ated at a high altitude near a Forest Service look-out station. It must- be accessible by road, because the weight and fragility Grecian Teachers Strike for Raise ATHENS W) More than 10,500 high school and elemen tary school teachers throughout Greece went on strike Satur day for higher salaries. High school teachers want an increase of 1,000 drachmae (about $33) monthly in their basic salaries. Elementary school teachers want a 700 drachmae ($23 increase.) High school teachers receive an average of $117 a month. Elementary school teachers average $100. of the scientific instruments makes "packing-in" impossible. The university 8 15-inch tele scope, which normally rests atop the Science Bldg., has been removed and is undergoing renovation in preparation for the project. Although astronomical obser vations have been made in Ore gon for many years, this is the first time that fundamental re search in astronomy has been attempted. Ebblghausen's chief objective will be to study the brightness of stars. He is particularly in terested in binary stars, those pairs of stars that arc eclipsed as they circle around each other and therefore display variations in brightness. In addition to his primary objective, Ebbighausen hopes to demonstrate that astronomical research is feasible in Oregon, particularly at high altitudes during the summer months when the air is clear and visi bility is good. Tho scientist intends to re main at tho temporary observa tory from about July 1 to Sept. 15. Although plans are not com pleted, astronomers from neigh boring states may visit the ob servatory for varying lengths of time during the summer to assist in the research. By BOB NEWCOMB Of the Register-Guard Issues ranging from taxes to college hazing were brought up Saturday by Lane County's nine state senators and rep resentatives as they spoke in Eugene before an audience of 60 persons. The occasion was the first Legislative Forum of the year, sponsored by the Eugene and Springfield chambers of com merce. Speaking about their first week as members of the 1963 State Legislature and pros pects in sight were Sens. Don ald R. Husband, Edward N. Fadeley and Glen Stadler, and Representatives F. F. Montgomery, Richard Ey mann. Ed Elder, Veola Wil mot, Gene Hulett and Richard Kennedy. During the two-hour ses sion, the legislators spoke briefly on subjects of their own choice, then answered questions from the floor. Sam Hughes, chairman of the Eu gene chamber's legislative committee, served as moder ator. Discussion of taxation was led by Representative Ey mann, logically, because he is chairman of the House Taxa tion Committee. But others joined in. In response to a question, Eymann said that should President Kennedy's federal tax bill get through Congress, it would actually mean that Oregon's state taxes would bring in an additional $8 mil lion provided that the state tax iaw remains unchanged. "But Congress moves slowly," he said, "and we will prob ably be out of session by the time Congress has acted." He explained later that if Oregonians find themselves with a smaller federal tax to pay, they will also find them selves with less federal tax to deduct on their state tax re turns. He also said that if the Gov ernor's net receipts tax is adopted, there will no longer be any deductions from fed eral taxes. He said although "modification" is needed in the Governor's proposal, "it docs provide the vehicle for tax reform." Eymann elaborated also on the proposed state net-profits tax, which he and others are introducing this session. Pro posed, he said, is a 1 per cent tax on "net income on the en tire business community, which would be distributed back to the entire state." He said further that the tax would not eliminate the ex isting state inventory tax, but rather would reduce that tax by from one-half to two thirds the present amount. College hazing got a tongue lashing from Senator Stadler, a member of the Senate Ed ucation Committee. He described the practice as "a throwback to tribal custom . . . stupid, asinine negative indicating a lack of intellectual development." It is possible, he said, that the education committee will consider that problem as well as others during the coming months. Stadler said also that he, as vice chairman of the Joint Constitutional Revision Com mittee, will make his decisions on matters coming before that group "on the basis of guard ing the rights of the individ ual voter." Mrs. Wilmot also com mented on constitutional re vision. "I already sense that this committee (on constitu tional revision) is going to have some conflict," she said. "Some members want only a minimum amount of change. Others want it to be more far-reaching, she said. "I hap pen to be in that second group." , Senator Fadeley voiced two protests. He laments the fact . he said, that there is no Lane County representative on the powerful Senate Ways and Means Committee. And he termed the decision which left both Lane and Benton Counties off that committee as "intentional." He criticized the governor's proposal to combine the State Board of Higher Education and State Board of Education. Fadeley contended that the suggestion to combine the boards makes it necessary for those boards to launch a fight to prove there is no "over lapping" of duties, thus pre venting them especially the board of higher education from exerting sufficient ef fort toward gaining necessary state funds for educational purposes. Other subjects raised dur ing the forum, and comments they drew: Proposed salary increase for legislators Representa tive Elder said, "I'm not go ing to vote for the legislative pay bill, until I see one (pro posed) a little lower." (El der reported also that he in troduced a House bill last week which would require any institution for mental ill ness to refer the case of any discharged patient with homi cidal tendencies to the local or district health boards. "It might also be applied to sex offenders," he said.) Representative Kennedy de clared that he favors the proposed pay increases for the legislators. "It will," he said, "assure Oregon of a strong and vibrant state gov ernment by assuring a 'pro fessional' lawmaking body in which anyone who wishes may run for office. . ." Prison conditions Rep resentative Hulett, a former state police officer, said he recently toured the Oregon State Penitentiary and found the women's quarters there to be "the most deplorable thing I've ever seen in a correction al institution." The Legislature two years ago appropriated funds to im prove the conditions ..t the prison, he said, but to date the only evidence of it is a new fence and sewer system. Hulett accused Governor Hat field of "playing patsie with labor," when organized labor groups protested construction at the prison by convict labor. Basic school support- Kennedy: "Failure to increase basic school support will not only reduce the quality of Oregon education, but will also lead to substantial in creases in real property taxes at home." Mrs. Wilmot made similar points favoring such aid. Registration of lobbyists About half ,of the states now have laws 'requiring paid lobbyists to make public who they represent and how much they are paid Fadeley said. The public has i a right to know if its interests are being protected as well as those of special-interest groups, be said. Representative Montgom ery, who is minority leader In the House, said he has been pleased by the committee ap pointments made in the House of Representatives this session. He said he knows only one representative to have protested bis assignments. Boy Hanged In Garage Of His Home An 11-year-old boy was found hanged at his home three miles south of Junction City Saturday afternoon. Gary Lewis Hafley, the son of -Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hafley of 2548 Pacific Highway S, Junc tion City, apparently died be tween noon and 1:15 p.m. when his body was found in the ga rage by his older sister, accord ing to Lane County Sheriffs deputies. The last time the boy was seen alive was when he was sweeping out the garage as his father left for town. An investigation of the death Is still continuing. Besides the parents, the boy is survived by two sisters. Trolley Kills 13 BOMBAY, India A railway trolley carrying workmen to a construction site upset near In dore in Central India, Friday, killing 10 persons and Injuring 13 others, official reports said. Stocks Maintain Advance NEW YORK Wl The stock market last week kept its 1963 record clean and accomplished net advance for the fifth straight week despite some heavy profit taking. Brokers said the market had been anticipating President Ken nedy's tax cut proposal for some time and, when it came, the news provided an additional spurt to prices but nothing much in the way of new incentive," Two days after Kennedy pro posed a $13.5-billion tax slash to take effect in three annual steps, the market underwent its first sharp correction of the new year. Other declines in 1B63 had barely qualified as real drops. Had the market decided to re verse direction, here was a pos sible impulse but tho next day a vigorous rally wiped out all but a fraction of the previous day's decline. The rally was accompamea Dy news of Kennedy's proposal for a record $98.8-mllion budget, in- eluding $51 billion for military spending, a peacctimo record, Some of the bullish sentiment was undoubtedly linked to the Pres dent s financial program but Wall Street was soon made aware by Washington reports that a legislative battle would precede enactment of any alter- 1 BARK STRAW CUFF-ROLLER direct line to spring . . , the look of the small, neat head in bark braid straw . . , see in our newest group by Marche.

Underlying the strength of stocks, enough to overcome long overdue profit taking, was the sentiment, frequently expressed, that the Presidents program would tend toward inflation, de spite his denials. The Dow Jones industrial av erage this week rose .92 to 672.52. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks gained .3 at 252.3, making its fifth straight weekly advance. While the gains in these av erages were trifling, advances among individual stocks out numbered declines by 774 to 529 among the 1,495 issues traded. New highs for 1962-63 totaled 134 and new lows 11. Also helping sentiment on Wall Street was Soviet Premier Khrushchev's East Berlin speech, regarded as dimming the prospects for any big interna tional crisis which might upset the stock market. Booming news from the auto industry and prospects that for the first time in more than 10 years Detroit would put two outstanding auto years back-to-back, helped the stock market.
