iGOP Spliton Tax
ADDoinfmenls
Portland, May 20 VP) A split
1 In the republican party widened
1 today In arguments over recent
state tax commission appolnt
! ments.
Governor McKay, one of the
' principals m the split, was urg
' ed to take legal steps to pre
sent Ray Smith, Portland re
publican, and Robert MacLean,
Wait! port democrat, from be-
coming tax commissioners.
! They won appointments this
week, partly through the ef-
forts of Secretary of State Earl
Newbry, McKay's rival in the
' split.
' Newbry and Democrat Walter
', Pearson, state treasurer, outvot
;d McKay on the appointments.
; McKay had wanted to retain
republican Earl Fisher and dem
! ocrat Wallace Wharton as tax
commissioners.
State Senator Frank H. Hil
ton, Multnomah county repub
, lican, in a letter to McKay de-
icribed Smith and MacLean as
', "men wholly inexperienced in
tax matters."
i He added the governor could
block the appointments through
' a section of the state law that
lays, "Each commissioner shall
be skilled and expert In matters
i of taxation."
Political observers said these
, were the opening moves In man.
' euvering by McKay and Newbry
for the party's 1930 nomination
for governor.
; McKay said at the time of the
appointment that "t h e public
will have the last word."
i Senate President William E
Walsh, Coos Bay, was quoted as
.saying, "This is the beginning
ol the civil war."

Lose at Pinball
Seattle, May 20 VPU-Pinball
-machine losses by University of
Washington students in the Uni
versity district have been large
;nd reached as high as $2,000
for one student, a letter to the
'school's authorities said today.
Such heavy losses are detri
mental to "pocketbook, school
;work and the peace of mind of
many students." the four pro
testing undergraduates wrote.
'The letter to President Raymond
R Allen was signed by Robert E.
',rnild, Cleveland Anschell,
Jair-s B. Wilson and Rita M.
)Ross, all of Seattle,
i In reply, Donald K. Ander-
'son, Washington director of

jthet the university was "nat
lurally concerned" but that it
'had no control over such off-
campus activities. Dr. Allen
could not be reached for com
Iment The four atudents said their
'own losses were negligible but
that it was "not uncommon" for
'a student to lose at much as
$20 In a single hour of play.

May Wheat Up
In Nervous Mart
Chicago, May JO UP) New
crop wheat deliveries eased
while the May contract jumped
about nervously on the board
of trad today. Other cereals
mostly tended lower while soy
beans and lard both displayed
quite a bit of weakness.
May wheat fell early and then
rallied sharply. It was helped
in part by strength of May at
Kansas City, although the same
delivery lagged at Minneapolis.
Trading In May futures ends
tomorrow, after which delivery
of actual grain must be made on
outstanding contracts.
More favorable crop reports
depressed new crop wheat The
southwest shlpp era advisory
board upped its estimate of the
wheat crop in Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas and New Mexico 10,-
000,000 bushels over the agri
culture department's May 1 es
timate of 487,772,000 bushels.
Canada also provided better
news. The Canadian Pacific rail
way reported "improvement" in
Alberta, said Saskatchewan has
benefitted from recent rains and
stated Manitoba now has ample
moisture.
May wheat closed 2Vt hlgh
at $2.2SH-V. . New crop
wheat was to 1 cent lower.
Com was 1H lower to tt high
er, May !1.33H-y, uats were H
to lower, May 87H-H, rye
was lVi-lfi lower. July S.1.39-
1.39 4, soybeans were
lower. May $2.344-2.35, and
lard was 10 to 18 cents a hun
dred pounds lower, May S11.S7.
Stocks Decline
Irregularly
New York, May 20 VP) An
attempt to recoup early losses
made small headway in the
stock market today.
Prices headed downward soon
after the opening. A comeback
started before noon but about
the best said for it was that the
widest declines were shaded.
Only a moderate amount of
business was done. Turnover
proceeded at the rate of about
800,000 shares for the full ses
sion.
The market was under com
paratively severe selling press
ure late yesterday and today's
setback was apparently a fol
low-through. News that the ex
ecutive board of the CIO rec
ommended higher wages was
rated as a factor.
Bethlehem, Republic Steel
and Youngstown Sheet all hit
new 1949 lows during the day
but at times showed signs of
coming back. Several of the
largest losses appeared in the
railway section where prices
were a little less resilient than
in the steel group.
uuiers lower most of the day
Included Chrysler, Studebaker.
Goodrich, Sears Roebuck, Amer
ican Telephone (at a low since
1943). General Electric, Santa
Fe, Standard Oil (NJ), and
Richfield Oil.
Among the steadier spots were
J. C. Penney, Consolidated Edi
son, Lockheed and Southern Pa
cific.

Reuther to File
Charges Against Ford
Detroit, May 20 (V The Ford
Motor company's dispute with
the CIO United Auto Workers
over opening of contract talks
today threatened to break peace
negotiations wide open In the
16-day-old Ford strike.
Walter Reuther, UAW presi
dent, declared In a statement
that the union would file unfair
labor practice charges against
Ford with the national labor re
lations board if contract talks
aren't opened by Monday.
The company, through John
S. Bugas, vice president, contin
ued to insist on a June 1 open
ing of discussions on a new con
tract to replace the one which
expires July 13.
The union declared it would
walk out on current peace talks
in the strike if the company
didn't agree to open conferences
to consider the contract by Mon
day. Each side placed the respon
sibility in such a break-off of
strike talks squarely on the
other.

dered held for the Marion coun
ty grand Jury Friday under
$2000 bail after he pleaded
guilty to a car stealing charge
in district court.

looking for parked in front of
his home. The theft of a 1938
sedan was reported at noon

At 5:30 p.m. Donald Kellv of

plates than the license number
of Blum's auto. Blum, how
ever. Identified the car as his.
Detectives knocked on Todd's
door, and Robert Pedee, 2623

knock. He told them the car
belonged to Todd.
Taken to police headquarters,
Todd signed a confession of the
theft after he was given time
to become sober. It detailed
how he had stolen other plates
tor Blum's car and sold a quan
tity of outdoor equipment and

Young Talks on
School Issues
Prefacing his remarks with
the statement that his approach
to the subject was that of a tax
payer and In no way reflected
the opinions of the school board,
Donald A. Young, chairman of
the board, urged members of
the Salem Board of Realtors
Friday noon to seek out .good
men and women to shoulder the
responsibility of operating the
schools.
A school director need not ne
cessarily be an educator, but he
should be a person who has had
experience in business, finance
and organization. Young (aid.
He expressed the opinion that
Salem had gotten by too cheap
ly in other years and was now
paying the penalty for not keep
ing up with a program of re
pairs and replacements.
Young feels that the economic
trend will be a downward one
for several years and in this
event the schools will be com
pelled to get along with less mo
ney. However, he added, "we
must maintain our educational
system." In this connection he
deplored federal intervention in
the educational field, saying it
was a step in the wrong direc
tion. "We should stiffen our
backs and carry on on our own
responsibility, he concluded.
