Protest Tax on
Inspection
Complaints are beginning to
pile up with the tax collection of
fice and county court againut
the collection of half the fees
for herd inspections made in
1947 for Bangs disease in cat
tle. A law was passed in that year
providing that every farmer
having such inspections made
should pay half the cost, this,
however, to be collected by the
county via the tax roll. It was
impossible to get these out with
the 1948-49 tax roll so they have
been included with the present
tax statements but on separate
pink slips. The separate slips
are used instead of placing the
amount on the tax roll as the
assessment is not considered a
tax but rather in the light of a
fee and consequently could not
be included on the tax state
ments. In most instances the amounts
are small running from a dollar
to a dollar and a half. However,
complaints by letter and in per
son have been numerous. In
most instances the complainants
say they haven't owned any cat
tle for several months. However,
the assessment now attempting
to be collected runs back to cat
tle tests made in 1947.
Some of those receiving the
bills say outright they won't
pay them. Just what steps will
be taken to collect such unpaid
fees is not known.
Board Elects Monday The

Records Needed
Veterans with service connected
disabilities of 50 per cent should
start immediately to gather vital
records in order to establish eligibil
ity for dependency allowance ben
efits authorized by recent congres
sional action, the Oreeon depart
ment of veterans' affairs advised
this week.
Public law 339 of the 81st con
gress gives added payments to such
veterans u tnev nave wives, cnu-
dren or dependent parents. The
new benefit, which starts December
1. was previously limited to those
60 per cent or more disabled as a
result or military service.
The tsate veterans department
advised the new beneficiaries to
cotnact authorized veterans' rep
resentatives for assistance In ob
taining records of marriage, births,
and of divorces and deaths involv
ing previous-marriages. Such records
must be in the Veterans Adminis
tration files before the new pay
ments can start.
The state board of health will
furnish such records to the VA
or the state veterans' department!
without cost if they are to be used
in connection with benefits paid
by the VA. While the veteran may
apply direct to the health board,
he is advised to consult an agency
or organization which oilers vet
erans' services for more expedi
tious handling of the application.

Boost in Social
Security Urged
1 Governors of the 11 western
I states and Alaska want the fed
eral government to increase so
cial security in order to save, the
states from bankrupting them
selves through their old age
pension programs.
The action was taken at the
western governors conference at
Salt Lake City, from which Gov
ernor Douglas McKay returned
today.
The governor said the gover
nors want social security grants
increased, and want more peo
ple included under the system.
This would be of great aid to
stales by stopping the increas
ing demand for more and big
ger old age pensions.
The governors also favored
the states pooling their educa
tional resources in professional,
technical and graduate training.
This would mean, he said, that
other states could send their
students to the University of Ore
gon medical school, with the
other states paying tuition
their students.

Although no one attending the

believed to include:
A plan to curtail sharply the
dismantling of German plants
for war reparations in return for
west Germany's agreement to
cooperate with allied controls
over such war potential indus
tries as the Ruhr valley complex.
Schuman will report on the
progress of his conference with
U.S. Secretary of State Achcson
and British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bcvin.
Observers said Schuman, a
member of France's popular re
publican party, wants the back
ing of the moderates and social
ists, the two other parties of the
French coalition government,
before formally entering a new
accord with Acheson and Bevin.
Informed sources said the
three foreign ministers have
reached a general agreement
that most dismantling of Ger
man industry must stop. They
also are reported to have moved
closer to allowing the new west
German republic to join the
council of Europe.
Conditions for discontinuing
the dismantling of German
plants had yet to be worked out
in the Big Three talks that open
ed yesterday. Britain still in
sists that such potential war in
dustries as synthetic rubber and
synthetic oil should be torn
down, one source said.

Plans for an all-athletic din
ner, December 9 are being form
ulaled. Coach Chester Stack
house of Willamette university
win be the guest speaker.
Ching was there, fuming. The
soft coal operators were there,
fuming. But no Lewis.
In fact, it was something of a
mystery where Lewis was. Aides
of the bushy-browed union lead
er with the flair for the dramatic
said they did not know.
Ching was plainly burned up.
First, he fired a telegram to
United Mine Workers' headquar
ters asking Lewis for "clarifi-
canon. But ne didn t even
know whether Lewis would see
it.
Then Ching delivered a report
to the White House that Lewis
had cooly turned down a bid to
a peace conference.
Ching called for his car and
sped to the White House himself
to make the report.
While he was traveling there,
President Truman was holding
his regular Thursday news con
ference.
The Lewis-Chine situation
had not come to light and the
questions to Mr. Truman did not
deal with it.
The president was asked what
might be the administration's
next move in the coal situa
tion.
He wouldn't say about that.
Nor would the president com
ment on Lewis' order of yes-
leraay sending the coal min
ers back to work for three
weeks.
Instead of a comment, the
president said of Lewis:
His picture is there on the
front page of the Washington
Post. Take a look at it."
The Post picture was an AP
wircphoto of a glowering Lew
is in Chicago.
Mr. Truman was asked if he
thought the steel settlements
would have been reached and
the coal strike called off at
least temporarily if the Taft
Hartley act had not been hang
ing over the unions.
The president, who wants the
Taft-Hartley law repealed, said
he couldn't say. He suggested
that the question be put up to
management and labor nagotia-
tors.
When Ching headed for the
White House, he indicated to
reporters that he was ready to
wash his hands of Lewis, leav
ing the coal situation on the
White House doorstep.

Persistence of these reports
also is believed by government
officials to be a major circum
stance in causing gold to start
moving from the U. S. to fore
ign countries recently. The
metal had poured into this
country for the last 15 years
without interruption except in
wartime.
One point of the rumors was
that the administration, by rais
ing the paper-dollar price of
gold, would have a gain through
increasing the value of the $24,
500.000.000 stock of gold it now
owns. The U. S. stock i- about
three-fifths of the world gold
supply.
The "gain," so the rumors
went, could then be used for is
suing paper dollars to pay part
of the $256,800,000,000 federal
debt.
