L. Nielsen, Richard Carlson and Wil liam E. Miller. Attorney Gottlieb J. Baer, rep resenting the recall group, said that currently there are 80 four page petitions out against the four who recently voted to accep'. city manager Walter T. Thompson's resignation. Baer said that, if completely filled, these petitions would total 1600 signatures favoring a recall vote on each of the four con n.is sioners. Some 930 signatures are required to set up a recall vote for each of the commissioners named. "If we could get all of these petitions back in right now, I think we would be fairly clase to the required number," Baer said. "But we're not going to stop at the 920 signatures necessary to force a recall vote on each of the four named commissioners. Wc want to make as good a showing as possible." Baer said a special recall meet ing has been called for 8 p.m. daylight time Friday in Uie cir cuit court room of the Deschutes County court house. Purpose of Uie meeting. Baer said, is to give all residents who desire a chance to sign ti.e peti tions, and to recruit volunteers for a door-to-door canvass. Baer said it was apparent Uiat commissioners named aren't tak ing Uie recall movement lightly. He specifically pointed to a get together of Uie seven jommis sioners at Uie home of commis sioner Miller Monday night. Baer said he had learned Uiat an attempt to get unanimous Com mission acceptance of Thomp son's resignation, regardless of Uie recall moement outcome, had not succeeded.

SOMlt I holds year, in Uie belief Uiat Uie eouffly would pick up Uie tab for 70 p cent Prior to last year, Uie city and the county shared 50-50 on library financing. Last year, Uie 80-40 ra tio was applied, following the rec ommendation of a library study committee with county. Bend and Redmond representaUon, includ ing some members of Uie budget boards. Curtailment Feared Mrs. Russell Wade, a member oi uie UDrary board, whe was present at Uie meeUng with Miss Ivy Grover, librarian, said Uiat the only places cuts can be made in Uie library budget are in staff and books. This would mean cur tailment of library services at the Bend headquarters, and would be accomplished by opening Uie doors later and closing earlier. Miss Grover said Uiat in cur tailing services, it would be nec essary to lay off workers in Uie lower salary bracket, utilizing staff members with more senior ity and experience to absorb Uie work load. Most substantial of Uie pay in creases went to Uie elected offic ials. Hired workers who get raises were increased by about 5 per cent. County commissioners will get another $800 a year ap.jce, bringing each of the two commis sioners salaries to 4.000. Raises Approved Six-hundred-dollar raises went to Uie county judge, to $6,800, and to the assessor and Uie clerk, both to $6,200. Judge D. L. PenhoUow said Uiat he felt Uiat his raise is "out of line." in view of Uie li brary and health department sit uations. and Uie length of time he has been in office. "And it's not Uiat I'm afraid of losing my job." he said. But no action was taken on his suggested cut. He did not ask for a raise when he submitted his budget. (The committee took note of Uie deletion of a $1500 contri bution to Uie health department by Uie City of Bend, and de creased its anticipated receipts by Uiat amount. An item for a new part-time health department clerk-typist in Bend was deleted to compensate.) The sheriff was given a $400 in crease, to J6.400. The Redmond jusUce of Uie peace was upped $350, to $3,850. Three-hundred-dol-lar raises went to Uie LaPine justice of Uie peace, to $2,000; Uie treasurer, to $5,500. and Uie vet erans' service officer, to $4,500. Other Items Listed New items are $400 for uni forms for Uie sheriff and his Uiree deputies: a $69.10 contribution for a winter assistant in Uie water master's department and $2,000 for agricultural experiments. "Non-recurring" items are $1,000 for a posting machine in Uie as sessor's office. $.1350 for two new cars for Uie sheriff's department. and $3,000 to finish paying for Uie new courthouse parking lot. The county's half of Uie civil defense director's salary was left at $2,500. the same as last year. Three hundred dollars was lop- ped from Uie asking for Uie cir-; cuit court bailiff-secretary, mak- ing Deschutes county's share $2, 400. Judge Robert H. Foley had recommended a total salary of $4800. Sharing is 57 per cent by Deschutes county, 25 per cent by Crook county, and 18 per cent by Jefferson county.

Hodge s tax cutting plea sparks recovery NEW YORK (UPD-Three top Washington officials conjured up potent injection for remedying stock market hypochrondia today and, with Uie help of a conducive "technical" situation within Uie market it worked, temporarily, at least. After moving off sharply again early in the day, the market be gan a wild and wooly rally paced by blue chip issues which wiped out early losses and cut deeply into Monday's near record-breaking losses. Trading resembled Uie worst days of Uie 192S crash in volume, but this time Uie trend was up, not down. With high speed tickers nearly 2 hours and 20 minutes late at the close, volume seemed destined to surpass by far Mon day's 29-year record turnover. Many on Wall Street had figured before Uie session began Uiat stocks had been oversold on a wave of emotionalism and wo'e ripe for a rally on purely tecluii cal grounds. The recovery was triggered near mid session when traders heard Uiat Commerce Secretaiy Hodges had called for a corporate and personal tax cut, possibly Ulis year. Demand was further fueled when Treasury Secretary Dillon emerged from a conference with President Kennedy and said top government leaders were in agree ment Uiat the huge stock market slump which has been gathering momentum since Uie first of Uie year was not economically just! tied. NEW YORK tUPl) Prices slumped again in early Wall Street trading today but "flash" prices in early afternoon indi cated a recovery rally for Uie bellweUicr blue chip stocks. Leading Uie advance, after a day of trading Monday in which the market, sintered its sharpest drop since 1929, were such lead ers as American Telephone, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Bethlehem Steel, Sears Roebuck and Du Pont. The closely walchod Inlania tional Business Machines stock opened at 365, up $4 a share, and at 10:55 a.m. PDT a "flash" price delivered as Uie ticker re ports fell for behind showed it at 382, up $21. Brokerage houses, swamped with orders were resigned to an other long night of catching up. Ticker tapes were as much as 75 minutes late in reporting big board trading by 10:45 a.m. Signs of the upward trend in major issues began to develop. Prices included American Tele phone It Telegraph at 107, up $6.38; Standard of New Jersey 51, up $5; General Motors 49, up 50 cents; U.S. Steel, 52-Vi, up $2; Chrysler 43', up 63 cents: Royal Dutch 37i up $3.75. Others which turned upward included Bethle hem Steel, Sears Roebuck, Allied Chemical. Tradirii on Uie American Slock Exchange, second largest of Uie nation's exchanges, was at 2.610. 000 after only two hours of trad ing, close lo its figure for Uie en tire day Monday. Stock markcls in Europe, Can ada, Western Europe and Japan reflected the wave of selling that resulted In n "paper loss" of $20.5 billion Monday on Uie New York stock market. London re ported its heaviest one-day drop in years. International stocks dropped as much as 60 points in Amsterdam. Tape Running Late The big board tape was late al most from the start. Volume at miilsession was almost twice as heavy as at Uie same lime yes terday. In assessing Monday's market, some statisticians reached back to lira and lo 1933 for comparisons, alUiough there were factors pres ent in Uie market Uien which do not exist today. WASHINGTON UPI - Com merce Secretary Luther H. Hodges called today for cuts in personal and corporation income taxes possibly Uiis year to re assure business and stimulate the economy. Hodges said lax reduction was overdue anyway and that Uie piunging slock market might make it desirable for tho admini stration to move on Uie tax cut front earlier than It had planned Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon said meantime Unit Con gress could take a major step toward shoring up the jittery mar. kel by speeding to passage Presi dent Kennedy's proposed tax credit for business. His appeal won prompt endorse ment from Democratic congres sional leaders who earlier had discussed the market wiUi the rhief executive at Uie White House. Dillon said approval of Uie tax credit measure was "Uie very best thing Congress could do now." The administration measure, now blocked in Uie Sen ate Finance Committee, would al low business to write oft 8 per cent of the cost of new equipment. No Dramatir.s Planned Speaker John McConr.ack ot Massachusetts and oUier legisla tive leaders who met with Ken nedy said he Indicated, however, that he planned no dramatic ges ture to try to restore market con fidence. There were Uiese oUier Wash ington developments: Ladd Plumley, president ' of Uie U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Kennedy's successful power play against Uie steel price hike and a weak recovery from Uie re cession contributed to Uie market break. Plumiey told a national Press Club lunch Kennedy should take vigorous action to restore business confidence. .Senate Democrats and Repub licans traded new verbal blows over Uie economy. Senate Demo cratic Whip Hubert H. Humph rey, Minn., denied GOP charges Uiat Kennedy had failed to keep his campaign pledges. Sen Barry Goldwater, R-Arii., said Uiere had been too many words and not enough action from Uie White House. Chairman WUIiam L. Cary of Uie Securities & Exchange Com mission told the House Commerce Committee his agency had launched a study of "who and what groups" figured in heavy stock sales which led to Uie mar ket break. He hoped for some findings in about two weeks. One oi crash victims laced court charge CENTER VILLE, Iowa, (UPI) One of Uie victims of last week's Continental Airlines crash was facing a court appearance on an armed robbery charge in Kan sas City, it was revealed today. The man was identified as Thomas G. Doty, who died with 44 other persons when the Con tinental jet exploded in Uie air over southern Iowa last Tuesday night less than 30 minutes before it was to have landed at Kansas City. Federal investigators have said a dynamite-lype explosive device was sot off in a rear wasliroom of Uie airliner and ripped the plane's tail from the fuselage. Doty's IniUals malchel Uiose on a brief case which was found late Sunday 12 miles from Uie crash scene. FBI agents appropriated Uie briefcase, which was empty and unlocked, and expressed great interest in it. But they would not reveal what significance they attached to it. A check of Doty's recent activi lics showed Uiat he and Mrs. Ge neva Fralcy, 32, who also died in Ihe Continental crash, had been fellow employes of a Kansas City cosmetics firm until last March, when ho resigned. Mrs. Fraley resigned later and planned to enter a business partnership with Doty June 1, Uie Kansas City sources said. Doty had bern scheduled to face a preliminary hearing Fri day on charges Uiat he forced his way into a car AprU 23, struck the woman driver in the face, Uireatened her. and fled with her purse. Doty was arrested several minutes later carrying the purse and a 22-caiiber pistol, police said. Ever since federal investigators revealed Uiat a bomb-type de vice wrecked Uie plnnc, unofficial reports have mounted Uiat FBI agents were concentrating on Uie possibility Uiat a murder-suicide pact was the motivating force be hind the disaster. None of Uie in vestigators would comment pub licly on Uie reports. Police report rear-end crash Oregon State Police on Monday about 5 pm.
