By PAUL W. HARVKY, JR.
The senate gave unanimous
approval today to the main leg
islative tax program, which pro
vicU's enough money to balance
the .state's huge budget for the
next two years.
Passage of the two main bills
clears the biggest obstacle
toward ending long legisla
tive session, although there still
are plenty of other obstacles left.
The bills have to go back to
the house, however.
In brief, the bills provide:
provision of Bills
Use of enough of the exist
ing $51,000,000 income tax sur
plus to balance the budget.
Let future corporation income
tax receipts be used to pay state
expenses, after offsetting state
property taxes and setting up a
$15,000,000 reserve fund.
Keep on using future person
al income tax receipts for prop
erty tax reduction.
As the law now stands, all
corporation and personal Income
tax receipts can be used only to
reduce property taxes. This in
cludes the surplus on hand.
It will solve the state's finan
cial headache for the next two
years
Warning by Walker
But Sen. Dean H. Walker, In
dependence, chairman of the
senate tax committee, warned
that the 1951 legislature either
will have to enact new taxes, or
else put more tax burden on
property.
By 1951, there won't be any
income tax surplus left.
What the house will do with
the senate version of the tax
bills is uncertain. The idea of
using the existing surplus is the
senate's. The senate also made
widespread changes in the tech'
nical mechanics of the bills.
When the legislature quit to
day, it assured itself of setting
an all-time record for length of
a legislative session . Today was
the 83rd day, and the record
1947 legislature ended on the
84lh day.
8 Big Problems Left
The lawmakers still have to
finish action on their eight big-
. tfr-st problems and it looked like
it will take at least another 10
dnys. However, some leaders
think they might wind up a week
from today.
The house, to speed thinks up,
adopted a rule limiting debate
It limits each speaker to five
minutes on any one bill, although
other members can yield their
time. The senate has had a sim
ilar rule for several weeks.
Adjournment
Due April 12
With no major legislation yet
enacted into law, the 45th le
gislative assembly will not
finally adjourn until April 12
or 13th, according to estimates
of legislative leaders Saturday
William E. Walsh, president
of the senate, declared that he
was strongly against any hectic
Saturday night or Sunday morn
ing adjournment and would
much prefer to return for
few days after April 9 and end
(he session In an orderly man
ner. This view was concurred in
by Speaker of House Frank J
Van Dyke.
The legislature was in its 83rd
day Saturday, thus tying the re
cord for a long session of that
set bv the 44th legislature. If
the adjournment takes place on
April 13 the session will have
consumed 94 days.
Fear has been expressed by
some weary solons that the pre
dictions of the president of the
senate and the speaker are too
conservative and that if the
long-winded oratory which has
featured senate sessions, parti
cularly during the last few days,
continues, adjournment they will
not be able to pack up and go
home until April 15 or 16th.
Record Pay lor
Jobless Workers
Payments to Oregon's unem
ployed during March were at an
all-time record of $4,166,215,
but claims for compensation fil
ed last week had dropped to 30
percent under the winter's peak
The state unemployment com
pensation commission reported
48.616 claims filed last week for
benefits.
Payments in the first three
months of this year totaled $10.
967.347. This was almost a mil
lion dollars more than the pre
vious record set in the first quar
ter of 1946. It was more than
was paid in the first 10 months
of last year,
t More than 40 percent of the
unemployed were logging and
sawmill workers, with construc
tion industries providing another
12.5 percent of the Jobless.
Bill to Cut-off
ighway Funds
From Cities Dead
By JAMES D. OLSON
Hopes of sponsors of the sen
ate hill designed to stop the state
highway commission from con
structing any roads within the
limits of cities were dim after
the senate returned the bill to
the committee for further con
sideration.
The action of the senate came
after 2 Vi hours of debate, which
became decidedly acrimonious at
times.
Senator Paul Patterson, chair
man . of the senate roads and
highways committee opposed the
bill declaring that it was intro
duced because the highway com
mission proposed to expend $7,
800,000 in the Salem area on a
traffic plan and planned to build
the Sullivan Gulch throughway
in Portland.
Patterson Opposes Bill
"The sponsors of this bill over
look the fact of the total pro
posed to be spent on the Salem
traffic project, $4,700,000 will
be expended outside of Salem.
In addition $3,900,000 of the
funds to be expended will be
from the federal government,"
he said'.
Senator Allen Carson of Mar
ion county said the sponsors of
the bill were "sandbagging and
hyjacking" Salem and said that
many of the 16 senators whose
names appear on the bill "were
being used.
"We've been running around
in Salem for years with our
highway seat out of our pants,"
Carson declared.
Small Cities Also Hit
In explaining his conception
of the effect of the bill if pass
ed, Senator Patterson used the
proposed four-lane Salem-Port-land
highway, as urged by many
of the senators, as an example.

Oleo Tax Repeal
Voted by House
Washington, April 2 (IP)
Backers of a house-approved bill
to repeal all federal taxes on
oleomargarine said today its
senate chances look good, de
spite the promise of bitter op
position from dairy-state law
makers.
Senators from butler-produc
ing states readied a substitute
measure and said they are pre
pared to "talk at length" to pre
vent passage of the repeal bill
which the house passed yester
day by a 287 to 89 vote.
In stamping approval on the
bill to erase the 63-year-old
taxes, the house reiected all ef
forts to outlaw interstate ship
ment of yellow margarine.
However, the measure stipu
lates that yellow oleomargarine
sold in public eating places must
be triangular in shape and lden
tified as oleomargarine. The bill
does not affect the laws of 18
states that prohibit the sale of
the yellow product.
.Hardly had the house voted
when Senator Wiley (R.. Wis.)
announced that he and 20 other
senators are ready to Introduce
a "states rights bill to:
1. Repeal the oleomargarine
taxes; 2. Prohibit interstate ship
ment of yellow oleomargarine
and 3. Let the individual states
decide then whether they will
permit the sale of the yellow
product.
Complete Rights-of-Way
For Broadway Extension
County Surveyor Dale Graham reported to the county court
Saturday he had completed negotiations for the last of the parcels
of ground needed by the county for the extension of Broadway
from its terminus inside the north city limits to the North River
road. Albert E. and Nora M. Wickert have given an option to
the county to purchase 245 feet
of 60-fool rishl-nf-way through
their place for $1400. This in
cludes 16 walnut trees which
will have to be removed. The
Salem Realty board had ap
praised the property at $1280,
the county had made the $1400
offer before the appraisal and
the Wickerts had been suggest
ing $2000 as a reasonable figure
and the amount taken is by way
of compromise.
While the county has now
completed its job of securing
right-of-way it is different with
the seven parceis the city has
to acquire inside its limits be
fore work on the road can go
ahead. None of these has been
purchased.
City Engineer J. H. Davis
says that appraisal of six of
these pieces totals $3185 with
the sixth place, formerly own
ed by Marion county, in some
thing of a jam as to its title and
appraisal delayed until this is
squared away.
Rent Ceilings
Lift in Areas
Of Four States
Washington, April 2 (IP) Rent
ceilings were lifted today on 36,-
500 dwelling units in four states.
Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
said more than 80 other areas
in 23 states will be decontrolled
within a week.
Wood accompanied the re
moval of restrictions with a
sharp warning that ceilings will
be slapped on again if "an un
reasonable increase" in rents re
sults from the moves.
- Twenty areas in Alabama, In
diana. New Jersey and Texas are
affected by the initial decon
trols.
The move resulted from a pro
vision of the new rent control
act which empowers Woods to
remove ceilings anywhere in the
nation but to put them back on
if unusual rent boosts result.
Policing Continues
The housing director made it
clear that his agency will con
tinue to police rents in decon
trolled areas. He said local ad
visory boards have been told to
stay in existence and keep in
tact the machinery to enforce
new ceilings "should the need
arise."
Information now available
Woods asserted, is "inconclusive
as to whether the demand lor
rental housing has been reason
ably met" in the areas involved
in the present series of actions.
He left little doubt that he will
order new ceilings should rent
gouging follow the decontrol ac
tion.
Power to Replace Given
The statement announcing the
ending of restrictions called it a
decision to "take a chance" on
lifting controls now that the ag
ency has power to replace tnem
Today's action does away with
ceilings on 30,100 dwelling un
its in eight localities in Texas;
4550 units in six areas of Indi
ana; 1800 units in one Alabama
county: and 150 units in five
New Jersey townships.
As the housing expediter made
his first moves under the new
15-month rent law, his staff
whipped into shape a statement
of official policy under the bill
Sfassen Seeks
Aid for China
Boston, April 2 (IP) Harold
E. Stassen said last night that
this nation should move against
communism b y "bolstering"
southern China and all of Asia
with a billion-dollar-a-y ear
"MacArthur plan."
Such a move, patterned after
the Marshall plan, is needed, he
said, to make up for "inaction or
withdrawal of aid" which "con
tributes to the communist dom
ination of China."
The 42-year-old University of
Pennsylvania president shared
platform honors with Winston
Churchill at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology convo
cation of top scientists and think
ers at Boston Garden.
"We should move, and move
promptly," Stassen said, "to bol
ster the southern half of China."
Stalin and the entire philos
ophy of communism were at
tacked by the speaker who said
he saw little difference between
the "fuehrer principl of Hitler's
system" and the "centralism of
Stalin's."
Work on securing this right of
way apparently is somewhat
sidetracked now by the new
proposal before the city coun
cil to extend North Commercial
street to the river road. This
job as shown in the report of
the engineer 'has an estimated
cost for right of way of $29,000
but this is subject to review by
the appraisal committee of the
Salem Realty board which has
an appraisal under way now.
Engineer Davis was unable
to say when work on the city
part of the Broadway extension
right-of-way can progress. The
man who has been assigned to
the work is quitting and when
the job will be resumed is
problematical.
Engineer Davis said he had
hoped to be able to get ahead
with the actual construction
work this spring so grading
could be had and rock put on
this summer, but all this is
held up until right-of-way can
bt ironed out.

Gruening Denies
Being Dictator
Washington, April 2 W The
senate interior committee today
weighed arguments for and
against confirmation of Ernest
Gruening to continue as gover
nor of Alaska.
Chairman O'Maticney (D .
Wyo.), indicated that a decision
will be made soon possibly
within a matter of a few days
The committee worked late
yesterday to wind uo in one day
its hearing on the nomination.
Members heard these charges
made and denied by delegations
of Alaskans:
1. That Governor Gruening
had used dictorial methods, and
sought unduly to influence legis
lators in favor of hij program.
2. That he campaigned among
Alaskan natives with favored
candidates for the territorial leg
lslature.
3. That he has hindered the
Development of Alaska by his
stand against "absentee owner
ship." Gruening took the stand to
oeny the charges himself.
He said he had pressed for
enactment of his program for
the development of Alaska, but
was in no sense a "dictator,"
and had no power to be if he
had wanted to be.

hood today. Fifty thousand
Catholic school children knelt

recommendations for street and
in Salem.
Each part of the leport was
voted on in a separate resolu-
lion, and with the exception of
the bridge resolution, the vote
was unanimous.
The approval will go as a rec
ommendation to the board of di
rectors of- the Chamber of Com
merce and to the aty council.
One reason for dela ed action
by the council was to await a de
cision of the plannirg commis
sion, and the vote Fiiday night
is expected to have much weight
when the city council acts.
Deviations from the Baldock
report are a north Salem two
way routing via Pine street from
Highway 99E to North Commer
cial street, which is not objected
to by R. H. Balilpc.k, state high-.
way engineer, -and a vote favor
ing delay in adoption of the one
way street grid until after com
pletion of a new bridge at Mar
ion street.
Relative to bridges Ihe vote of
the planning commission recom
mends "that the new bridge be
located at Marion street; that
the present Center street bridge
approaches be rebuilt, and that
both bridges be connected to
west side streets and highways
by appropriate under and over
passes." The new Marion street bridge
would be for one-way westbound
traffic. The rebuilt Center street
bridge would be for one-way
east-bound traffic.
Bridges were the main cause
oi division in the commission,
several members holding out for
new four-lane bridge at Divi
sion street. The majority con
ceded some advantages to the Di
vision street plan, but cited the
smaller cost of the Marion-Center
plan and shorter distance by
four-fifth of a mile between Sa
lem and Dallas.
On the grid system the recom
mendation is that it "be deferred
for the time being, and that if
and when the Marion Center
street bridges are completed,
that those streets be made one
way streets as recommended in
the Baldock report."

Tree Crashes
Home, Garage
A walnut tree, 75 feet high,
that was being felled Friday aft
ernoon, crashed down upon the
W. R. McCarroll home and ga
rage, 425 South 22nd street, and
did serious damage.
The tree was being cut down
by Louis Myers and crew, and
failed to fall in the direction in
tended. Big holes were torn in
the roof and walls of the house
toward the rear, and the garage
adjoining was badly crushed
The bath room was badly dam
aged.
Luckily, all members of the
family were outside at the time
watching the felling process, so
no one was hurt. McCarroll
said the house was not insured
against damage of the kind but
he thought the fallers were in

In Tax Strike
New York, April( 2 WV-Arrests
in a (eri'sion-charged taxi
cab strike rose to 27 today as
police reported one cab partly
wrecked, another stoned and
the non-striking driver of a
third pummeled by several men.
Two men who identified
themselves as officials of the
striking union were among those
arrested.
The first flurries of violence
in the day-old strike came amid
conflicting reports as to the
number of the city's 11,500 cabs
immobilized by the tieup.
Police reported a total of 620
cabs operating at 8 a.m. (EST).
Three hours later, operator's
representatives said 3,000 were
moving through the police-
guarded streets. The union de
clined comment on the latter
claim.
As the numbrr of arrests
climbed steadily, Peter Landino,
32, who said he was an inter
national representative of the
cab drivers union, was arrest
ed on a disorderly conduct
charge. He was seized on the
complaint of a non-striking driv
er who named Landino as one ot
two men who hurled rocks at
his cab.
Another man was arresled in
outlying Queens after William
Crimi told police several men
halted his cab, then punched
and pummeled him.
Freezing Weather in East
Chicago, April 2 (IP) It was

Amendment Cutting
Outlays for Marshall
Plan Defeated
Washington, April 2 (IP) A
major victory under their belts,
senate leaders pushed today to
ward final approval for the $5,-
580,090, 000 European Recovery
Program.
While a pile of policy-changing
amendments lay ahead, what
was probably the biggest threat
to the hill for a second-year Mar
shall Plan was smashed last
night. That was the proposal of
Senators Tatt (R., Ohio) and
Russell (D., Ga.) to cut the cash
outlays for foreign aid 10 per
cent. The senate beat back the Taft
Russell amendment by a lopsid
ed 54 to 23 vote. But because of
Ihe stack of amendments still
awaiting actions, there was a
chance a final vote would be
delayed until next week despite
today's unusual Saturday ses
sion. Economy Moves Lose Out
Leader Lucas of Illinois said.
all remaining amendments seem
ed sure to be defeated.
Lucas said he was surprised
at the margin by which the
economy move lost out, and add
ed:
"The psychological effect
throughout the world will be
tremendous. The communists
can't use thi for propaganda
and they can't say we welshed
on our promises to Europe."
Senator Byrd (D., Va.) told
reporter the vote probably seals
off any efforts to cut the budget
this year.
He discounted the promise by
Senator Vandenberg (R., Mich.)
that the appropriations commit
tee will have a free hand to cu
actual cash outlays on the aid
bill.
Wherry Move Defeated
Fourteen republicans and nine
democrats voted to cut the au
thorization which serves as ;
ceiling over laler appropria
tions. Of the democrats, all
were southerners except Sena
lor Gillette of Iowa. Voting
against the Taft-Russoll propos
al were 35 democrats and 19 re
publicans.
Before (he crucial lest on tha
amendment, (he senate defeated
on a 68 to 14 vole an amend

to lower the coiling on tiie aid
fund by 15 percent. Taft and
Russell both voted against this.

their first huddle today to start

western world.
Reject Russia's Charge
The 12 Atlantic pact foreign
ministers rejected outright today
Soviet Russia's charge the treaty
is aggressive in Intent and di

In their first formal meeting,
they also unanimously approved
without charge the text of the
treaty to be signed here Monday.
A statement adopted by tht
group as its first action said that
he treaty text refutes the charge
Moscow made yesterday. The
western representatives said that
complaint from Russia included
misrepresentation.
"The text makes clear the
omplctely defensive nature of
this pact, -its conformity with
botli the spirit and letter of tha
charter of the United Nations,
and also the fact that the pact il
not directed against any nation

presumably will be represented
