Higher Oregon
Auto Tax Seen
Portland, Ore., March 17 U.R
Oregon's highways are deter
iorating faster than they are
being replaced, Stale Senator
Paul Patterson of Hillsboro told
the Oregon State Motor associa
tion Wednesday night.
Patterson, a member of the
legislature's interim committee
on highways, said that although
$400,000,000 has been expend
ed on the present highway net
work, the slate "faces' an ex
penditure of $750,000,000 more
to bring highways up to an ac
ceptable standard."
We motorists are going to
have to prepare ourselvei to pay
for these improved highways if
we want them," Patterson said.
This means even higher auto
license fees and higher gasoline
taxes."
Because property "cannot bear
higher taxes," the funds must
come from users of the roads,
he asserted.

Missing Coed
Turns Up at YW
Chicago, March 17 (U.R) A
University of Michigan coed,
whose four-day disappearance
stumped detectives, turned up
Thursday in a YWCA hotel near
Chicago's loop.
Miss Jeri Lou Ely, 18, tele
phoned her parents at Berrien
Springs, Mich., that she was "all
right and coming home."
But YWCA officials said her
parents were en route to Chica
go to pick her up.
The girl vanished from her
college dormitory Monday. Ann
Arbor detectives said she left
without a clue. But yesterday
her roommate received a pencil
ed postcard from her that said
she was "going to rest Don't
worry." The postcard was mail
ed at Ann Arbor about five hours
after she disappeared.
Miss Mary Laughton, assistant
residence director at the girls'
hotel, said she did not know why
Miss Ely left school.

Hundreds of Fur-Seal
Pups Killed by Storm
" Washington, Mar. 17 W)
Violent storms off the Pacific
northwest killed hundreds of
Alaskan fur-seal pups and cast
them ashore on the Washington
and Oregon coasts In January,
the fish and wildlife service said
today.
' Of the dead animals, 16 bore

summer at the Prlbilof Islands

farmers.
Problems in connection with
forest management being pub-j
lished on the 16,000 acres of land
which should be kept in forest
that lies within the boundaries
of the Silver Creek district were
also discussed by the supervi
sors. A request has been made
of the state board of forestry for
asistance on tree farming and
information on the Oregon forest
fee and yield tax law. Request
has also been made for a forest
demonstration within the district.
Need for moisture conserva
tion in order to maintain high
water tables and spring flow was
also discussed. The use of sub-
soiling of the deeper soils of the
district was recommended to
conserve both moisture and fer
tility and methods of encourag
ing the use of other conserva
tion practices which will reduce
run-off were also considered.
These included cover crops, good
pasture management and con
tour practices.
The county extension service
has been asked to cooperate with
the district in holding a spring
tour of conservation practices
and it was suggested that this
be tied in with the livestock
tour. Additional tours and dem
onstrations were requested on
rodent and weed control and
wildlife management.
Attending the meeting were
Oscar Loe, chairman of the
board; Victor Hadley, vice chair
man: H. A. Barnes, treasurer;
Roy Brown, representing the
Waldo Hills community and
Very Scott, the Union Hill com
munity. Assisting in the work
plan wore Merle Brown, Oral
Eiran. Hnrrv Riches, county
agent and Austin Sanford and
Eldo Bctcke, soil conservation
technicians.
Grants Pass ,Ore., March 17
(U.R) Sen. Wayne Morse, R.,
Ore., has a proposal to increase
government income.
He told the Grants Pass Ro
tary club at a noon luncheon
Wednesday the United States
should adopt a tax program
which would develop more bus
iness on which taxes are paid.
That also requires repeal of 'nui
sance taxes' as a trade stimu
lant, Morse said.
Oregon's junior senator warn
ed against isolationism, declared
his opposition to socialized medi
cine and expressed the belief
that the long-range future of
the United States would be de
cided by this generation.

Crommelin Not Surprised at
Navy Action; Anticipated It
Sacramento, Calif., March 17 W) The Navy's furloughing
of Captain John G. Crommelin to half pay was no surprise, he
said today."
"This has been anticipated," he said in an interview "as long
ago as January."
The officer came here from
I lAOt D I . r:-i PEEK
f . r- - .J tLJ 0-.- . . C" M"- Jf7 'IrVl- .r,., I
San Francisco to speak at a ser
vice club luncheon. He was or
dered furloughed yesterday.
"I haven't violated any or
ders," he said, referring especi
ally the one directing him not to
be critical of the department of
defense or officers in it.
Since that order came to him
Feb. 21, said the captain, "they
have sent officers around to the
meetings where I have spoken
to censor me. I've talked to them,
myself."
Crommelin said that even after
he goes on furlough April 1 he
will obey the order, which he
noted, did not gag him.
Asked why the Navy didn't
order him to stop talking in
stead of furloughing him, he said
the action taken was "the best
thing politically" and added:
"Anything which attempts to
curb the speech of an individual
is an anathema to the American
people."
He said he is not planning to
retire and that "I feel that if we
go to war I would get a good
job."
The captain said he has not ac
cepted any speaking engage
ments since the Feb. 21 order,
but that he has had some 30
more invitations. Of his speaking
activities in the future, he said:
"It depends on the situation."
