California
Decision due
at meeting
on January 2
Possibility of a new trailer
plant operation in Bend was re
vealed at the Friday noon lunch
eon meeting of the Bend Cham
ber of Commerce.
Manager Marion Cady told di
rectors that negotiations are cur
rently underway for lease of the
building built originally for Hens
lee Mobile Homes and more re
cently used by Alpine Industries.
According to Cady, a California
trailer manufacturing firm has in
dicated an interest in locating a
plant in Bend. The company has
three plants already in operation.
Officials of the company. Cady
said, report that a final decision
on whether to locate in Bend
probably will be made at a meet
ing of directors on January 2. At
that time they will meet with rep
resentatives of Oregon Mutual
Savings Bank, owners of the va
cant building here.
Approximately 60 Men
It has been indicated that the
plant would employ approximate
ly 60 men and would produce an
average of two trailers a day.
Local efforts to obtain the in
dustry for Bend have been hand
led by the Chamber and its in
dustrial development committee.
In other business at the board
meeting, directors approved an
operating budget for 13 of $27,
82S. In discussing the proposal
with the board members, Maurice
Shelton, chamber treasurer, em
phasized the importance of dues
collections in assuring adequate
financing of chamber activities in
the coming year.
Directors also discussed cham
ber participation in an effort at
the state legislature to obtain for
the state department of education
a consultant in conservation and
outdoor education.
Proposal Explained
Gunster Arends, representing
the Mid-State Soil Conservation
District, attended the meeting to
explain various phases of the pro
posal. He emphasized the im
portance of beginning such a pro
gram at early levels of educa
tion. Arends noted that Rep. Kessler
Cannon has given strong backing
in the program and is interested
in obtaining expressions of local
support which he can take with
him to the legislature in January.
Gordon Randall, chamber presi
dent, read a draft of a proposed
resolution and following discus
sion of the resolution it was de
cided to delay final action until a
further study of the situation could
be made.
Trailways Extension
William Niskanen, general man
ager of Pacific Trailways, report
ed to the board that his company
is currently seeking to extend its
service to Corvallis and Newport
and to establish a run between
Corvallis and Eugene. Hearings
by the Public Utilities Commis
sion will be held in the near fu
ture. He asked the board for its
help in making a presentation be
fore the PUC.
Directors indicated favorable
interest in the extension of Trail
ways service and will draft a res
olution in support of the move.
The board also agreed to under
take a study of the possibility of
extending fire protection to areas
in the Tumalo district. The ac
tion was prompted by a recent
letter appearing in The Bulletin.

Financial institutions fear
woes over new IRC ruling
Officials at Bend's three larg
est financial institutions foresee
lots of trouble when a new In
ternal Revenue Code ruling goes
into effect starting the first of the
year.
Right now they are bracing
themselves for some expected
harsh customer reactions to the
law adopted by Congress last
year which requires all hold
ers of savings accounts and stock
holders to submit their social se
curity numbers at their bank or
loan company.
Congress enacted the measure
to quash cheating on income tax
statements. Anyone who draws
more than $10 a year in savings
account dividends must furnish
the bank with either a social se
curity number or identifying num
ber supplied by the Internal Rev
enue Service. Then, at the end of
the calendar year, the bank must
list these numbers with their re
ports to the IRS.
The process sounds simple
enough, but it won't be. Bankers
requesting numbers from their
customers have already encount

law. Robert Libby of U.S. Nation
al described how one lady, in a
phone conversation with the bank,
expressed fear that her dividends
would be withheld until the bank
had her number. Others have
stated they see no reason for giv
ing a number and are reluctant
to furnish one. But most of the
trouble, bankers say, will stem
from customer lethargy.
In backing up the new law the
Government will impose a $5 fine
on any account holder who fails
to furnish the bank with a num
ber. Banks and loan companies
will be assessed $10 fines for each
number not reported to the IRS.
Much Red Tape
Libby told The Bulletin that the
new system would amount to con
siderable red tape. He added it
would probably necessitate the
hiring of additional help near the
end of 1963 and in each year fol
lowing. Maurice Shelton, manager
of First National, and Walter Peak
of Equitable Savings & Loan,
were not so pessimistic. Both
agreed that the law would prove
a cumbersome process, but neither
sees a need for hiring additional
hands.
The bulk of expenses will come
when the banks mail out thou
sands of requests for numbers.
Early national surveys of banks
indicate that of persons requested
by mail to furnish numbers, only
40 to 60 per cent have complied.
If this response is pretty much
standard, the banks will then have
to choose between mailing out sec
ond requests at great expense
or depending on customers to
furnish numbers when they make
their deposits. But it is doubtful
that bank officials will have all
the numbers required when the
calendar year closes.

Spectacular chase
Boy escapes, leads
pursuers to river
By Gerald Drapeau
Bulletin Staff Writer
A spectacular jail break and
pursuit ended in the freezing wa
ters of the Deschutes River ear
ly yesterday evening after Brian
Hall, 15-year-old Bend youth held
for auto theft, broke out of the
city jail.
Hall was finally subdued bv po
lice officers in Drake Park after
making a vain attempt to swim
the cold river. He was turned
over to the county sheriff and
lodged in the county jail.
Hall is the youth who overturn
ed a pickup truck he had stolen
Wednesday after a wild police
chase through the west side dis
trict. The arresting policemen had
to subdue the boy with handcuffs
after he pulled a knife on the of
ficer. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Taber F. Hall of 1215 Jack
sonville.
Hall managed his escape about
5:15 when officer Jack Perry
went upstairs to feed the prison
er. Perry saw Hall's empty food
box placed at the end of the cell
block. He was picking it up when
he heard the cell block door slam
and lock behind him, and sighted
Hall climbing up the bars outside
the block to a four-foot space be
tween the cell top and the roof.
The prisoner immediately made
his way to a narrow air vent and
squirmed through it to reach the
roof. The officer's shouts for help
brought two more officers to the
Death toll
low at start
of weekend
By United Press International
The death toll on the nation's
highways was low today at the
start of the long New Year's
weekend holiday.
At 9 a.m. PST United Press
International counted 19 traffic fa
talities since the start of the 102-
hour weekend at 6 p.m. Friday.
The holiday death breakdown:
Traffic 19
Fires 1
Miscellaneous 8
Total 28
By contrast, the traffic toll stood
at 82 at the end of the first 18
hours of last weekend's Christmas
holiday. The holiday ended with
854 traffic fatalities, the second
highest total on record.
The National Safety Council had
estimated that from 420 to 480
persons could die In traffic acci
dents during the New Year's holi
day. This would set an all-time
record for New Year's traffic
death.
By United Prese International
A Portland woman became Ore
gon's first fatality of the long hol
iday weekend today when she was
fatally injured in a head-on crash
south of Dayton.
Agda Jean Johnson, 21, died in
the crash. Police said her car
swerved into the path of an on
coming car. Two young women in
the other car, Judy M. Powell of
Yamhill and Viola Hodney of
Carlton, were seriously injured.
They were hospitalized at Mc

block. Perry was released and
the three policemen used the fire
escape passageway to get to the
roof. They chased Hall along the
rooftops toward The Bulletin
building until he leaped to the al
ley pavement and sprinted In the
direction of Franklin Street.
Halllgan Joint Chase
Donald Halllgan of 1324 W.
Sixth, who watched Hall speed
past him near the post office on
Franklin, chased him after seeing
the officers in pursuit.
Halligan was not far behind
when Hall turned up the Broad
way alley and headed for the riv
er. When he and the officers ar
rived, the escapee was standing
waist deep in the water about 20
feet from shore. Police who tried
to coax him out of the river said
he was "screaming and shout
ing."
Hall then swam a few strokes
toward the opposite bank; finally
gave up the effort, and waded
ashore. Officers took nun into cus
tody and gave him change of
clothing.
Explanation Given
The apparent ease with which
Hall made his escape from the
jail was later explained by po
lice. Because the youth was the
jail's only prisoner, he had been
given complete freedom of move
ment in the cell block. When Per
ry entered tho block, Hall had
concealed himself beneath the
bunk of the first and darkest cell.
Perry believed him to be sleep
ing in a cell further down. The
lock on the door was broken and
Hull fled through it after the offi
cer had moved down the corridor.
Police could not explain how
the prisoner was aware that the
roof had a ventilator. Most of
them said they did not know of it
themselves.

many offices were closed.

Conference Set
The committee meeting will
highlight a Jan. 7-9 meeting of
the association to be held here.
Sawyer said the state milk audit
law requires dealers to file with
the state copies of their con tracts
with producers.
Sawyer refused to identify tha
dealer. Ho said only that it was
not a Portland or Salem firm.
but "an average size Willamette
Valley dealer."
Sawyer said ne expected more
such price cuts "during January."
The announcement whipped up
more concern in tha already
worried dairy Industry.
Producers hopefully pleaded
against price cuts.
Distributors indicated the
wanted to hold the line, but would
slash prices If forced to do so.
Grocers wore unsure what they
should do.
A spokesman for the Portland
Dairy Co-op said "No drop In

If any major distributor cuts
the price, we all will have to do
tlie same," he added.
Another distributor said "Tha

mented. He said his firm had no plan
to cut pricas.
Gordon Hofstotter of Curley i

no plans to cut the price of milk.

the present price level and give
the industry time to come up with
