$50,000 Offer by
Meyers Refused
Washington, Nov. 18 (Pi The
government has turned down' an
offer by former Maj, Gen. Ben
nett E. Meyers to settle all the
wartime tax claims against him
for about $50,000 cash.
The offer was advanced sev
eral weeks ago by Meyers' attorneys.
It included a proposition that
the former air force purchasing
chief, now in prison and seeking
parole, would plead guilty to a
single misdemeanor count in
connection with income tax fil
ings if the justice department
would drop projected felony
prosecutions.
An income tax misdemeanor
carries a maximum sentence of
one year, whereas a felony is
punishable by as much as five
years in prison.
The exact amount of Meyers
tax liabilities is in dispute, but
government sources, conceding
the possibility of overlaps and
duplications, have estimated
that it might rim as high as
$400,000.

Bottom Fish Prices
Go Down at Astoria
Astoria, Nov. 18 W) Prices
for bottom fish are going down
at this port.
Members of the Otter Traw
lers Union indicated willingness
to accept lower prices on major
species of bottom fish today.
Packing firms have not ac
cepted the prices, though. At
least one was arguing for still
lower prices.
Prices approved by the Otter
Trawlers' Union were: 3 cents
a pound for English sole, Rex
sole, black rock, dover sole and
turbot; ZVi cents for black cod
and 2'A cents for mink food.
The prices are from a half-
cent to two cents lower than
last year.

Family to Save
One Good Eye
Portland, Nov. 18 ) The
Hodgdon family likely will save
its one good eye.
An operation "apparently suc
cessful" was completed Thurs
day morning on the right eye of
Mary Hope Hodgdon, 12.
Her left eye is sightless, both
her parents are blind, and Mary
Hope's right eye is the family's
guide.
That eye was threatened with
blindness through a relative un
usual affliction known medical
ly as "total disinsertion of the
retina." Under it, the retina
the image - receiving film be
comes loosened, its edges curl
back, and sight is gone.
A spokesman at the Elks' eye
clinic of the University of Ore
gon medical school, where the
operation was performed, said
once the retina had become de
tached, there was no known way
of restoring vision. Mary Hope
lost the sight of her left eye that
way. Her mother, Mrs. Lee
Hodgdon, has been blind since
childhood for the same reason.
Her father lost his sight In a
1926 logging camp explosion.
Early this year cysts were not
ed near the edges of the retina
of Mary Hope's good eye. That
meant, surgeons decided, that
blindness was in store unless
something could be done.
What has been done, in a two
part operation completed Thurs
day, has been to cause a series
of tiny irritations with a fine
needle around the edges of the
retina. These irritations in heal
ing adhere to the eye and in ef
fect weld the retina in place.

Log Drive Called Off
