School Fund Increase Repeal
Opposed by Committee
The house tax committee, in an informal poll, voted 4 to 3
against a bill to repeal the $30 per child basic school fund in
crease which the' people voted last November.
This bill, by Rep. Giles L. French, Moro, would be referred
-to the people.
French's bill would wipe out
$11,000,000 of the $32,000,000
annual state basic school aid to
districts.
The committee also decided to
draft a bill to put sales tax and
income tax proposals on the 1852
general election ballot.
While the committee took no
action on this, idea, it indicated
it favored it.
Under the proposal, the peo
ple would be given a choice be
tween a sales tax or higher in
come tax rates. The people
could make their choice but they
also could reject both plans.
The money that would be rais
ed from this idea would be used
to finance the state for the period
beginning July 1, 1953.

Spuds for Senators,
Not for Livestock

from Deschutes or Klamath

Sacks Of Deschutes potatoes,
sent by the Bend Chamber of
Commerce, raised this question
yesterday when they were plac

ath Falls, whose district in
cludes both counties, was put on
the spot. But he rose to the occasion.

chutes potatoes.
Fellow senators are still try
ing to figure how you can win
votes that way.
Affront Seen in
Princess Vatican Visit
London, March 21 VP) A
Protestant group protested to
King George VI today that a
visit by Princess Elizabeth to
Pope Pius XII would be "an af
front to national sentiment."
Two other Protestant organ
izations last week voiced simi
lar sentiments about reports the
heiress to Britain's throne might
pay a courtesy call to the Roman
Catholic pontiff when she visits
Rome April 11.
O. T. Taylor, honorary secre
tary of the Protestant alliance,
said in his letter to the king to
day "such a visit Is calculated to
create surprise, perplexity and
profound sorrow among many
millions of your majesty s loyal
subjects."

On Stage Tonight at 8!
"QUEEN FOR A NIGHT"
The hot issue of whether to
transfer game law enforcement
from the state police to the game
commission will come before the
senate next Monday morning.
The senate game committee rec
ommended 3 to 2 that the bill be
passed, but it made the effec
tive date of the measure July 1
1952.
The measure was to have come
before the senate two weeks ago
But the sportsmen who want the
measure got it delayed because a
legislative subcommittee report
ed the game commission is inef
ficient and negligent.
The sportsmen felt that to con
sider the enforcement bill while
the game commission was under
fire would kill their bill.
The log truckers made their
big move in the house this after
noon against the highway com
mission's bill to stiffen penalties
for overloading.
Led by Rep. Loran Stewart,
Cottage Grove lumbermen, the
truckers said they would try to
get the bill sent back to the
house highway .committee for
amendment.
The amendment they want
would permit heavier loads to
be hauled over certain routes
when the haulers agree to pay
for strengthening these roads.

legs, thinks those pictured at left are the most perfect in

Approval Given
Church Plans
The city planning and zoning
commission Tuesday' night gave
its approval to an application by
First Church of the Nazarene

tion of a church school building.
The pastor, Rev. Eugene
Stowe, and William Beaver,

will go to the city council for fi

west side of Church between Ru
ral and Oxford.

Registration
Gains for GOP
A return of Oregon to the re
publican registration column
was predicted today by Sigfrid
B. Unander, republican state
central committee chairman, in
a statement issued in Salem.
Unander based his prediction
on what he described as "sweep
ing republican registration
gains" throughout the state, in
cluding Mutnomah county.
The GOP state central com
mittee chairman claimed his
party had proved its worth "not
only with a social sense but with
a constructive approach to the
soering matter of state fi-
nances-
As trustee for and with the
people in developing Oregon for
riany years, the republican par
ty has shown the capacity to
keep alert for changing needs in
a growing state and to keep clear
of improperly motivated groups
mobsters and racketeers in
particular. The Kefauver crime
investigating committee, as an
example, has not ; considered
Oregon a problem in this re
spect." .
Unander added:
"The high caliber leadership
of Gov. Douglas McKay and the
other republican officials is a
credit not only to Oregon but
to the country as a whole in
these times of crisis."
For the first time in recent
years democrats moved ahead
of the republicans in state regis
tration at the time of the 1950
primary. The democrats' regis
tration lead was jumped to 17,-
199 at the last November gen
eral election when the list of
eligible voters showed this
breakdown: Democrats, 378,357:
republicans, 361,158.
Padilla Visits
Willamette I)
Sinforoso G. Padilla, a gradu
ate of Willamette university with
the class of 1924, returned to the
campus for a few hours this
week in the course of a trip
around the world. He found that
few of the instructors under
whom he worked were still with
the university, most of them
having been retired.
Dr. Padilla is chief of the ad
visement and guidance division
in the Manila office of the U.S.
veterans administration. During
the war he lost everything he
owned when his section of Ma
nila was bombed. Subsequently
he and Mrs. Padilla and their 11
children fled to the northern
provinces where they raised suf
ficient food to keep themselves
alive during the Japanese occupation.
The traveller feels that the
Philippines received their inde
pendence at a time when the peo
ple had not recovered from the
shock of war and hence were not
ready for democracy.

New York, March 21 (P) The

formed firemen's association ad
mitted to senate investigators to
day that he handed ex-Mayor
William O Dwyer $10,000 as "ev
idence of support" in O'Dwyer's
1949 campaign.

Bennett Exfolls
Dr. Holy Report
Out of the so-called Holy re
port now being considered by
the state legislature will come
great good to the educational
system of Oregon, believes
Frank B. Bennett, superinten
dent of the Salem public schools
who discussed some phases of
the report for the benefit of the
membership of the Rotary club.
Bennett stated that school
business is big business" and
that it requires the highest type
of director for its proper func
tioning.
One of the questions that
being asked by the smaller dis
tricts as well as the rural areas
when consolidation is discussed
is the one concerning possible
loss of local control of the
schools. In answer to this ques
tion Bennett pointed out that in
Salem two of the five directors
are from the annexed districts.
Bennett can see little financial
savings in consolidations but
there are bound to be econo
mies. Some of the smaller high
schools he said were operating
under' costs that ranged up to
as high as $1600 a year. Salem,
Eugene and other districts of
comparable size operate on a
$250 per pupil basis.
Now, Doug,
Was That a
Nice Remark?
Governor Douglas McKay,
always quick on the trigger
with a fast remark, shook
hands yesterday with the 11-year-old
son of a news re
porter. "Are you going to be a
newspaperman, too?" the gov
ernor asked.
"Sure," the beaming boy re
plied. '
"Good," the governor said.
"They sure need replacements."
Court Rules on
Titles of Bills
The state supreme court ruled
oday that a legislative act can
not be amended to take in more
territory than is covered by the
title of the original act.
The effect of the ruling means
that in some cases, it will take
two or more legislative bills to
do what one has done in the past.
The title of a bill is the state
ment telling the subject of the
mesaure.
Robert K. Cullen, whose-statute
revision council drafts most
of the bills for the legislature,
said the decision won't have
much effect on bills of this ses
sion. The court's opinion was given
in a case in which the house ju
diciary committee asked the
court to interpret the constitu
tion, which says an act shall in
clude only one subject, and that
the subject shall be embraced in
the title.
The decision settles some
thing that has bothered legisla
tors for years. It is the opposite
of the theory that all a title is
is a headline for a bill, rather
than a restriction.

Price Control
Time Extended
Rnmn Snlpm merchants had re
ceived unofficial word Wednes
day of an extension of time for
filing "pricing charts ' with the
government, but definite word
did not reach here until after
noon.
From Washington came a press
disDatch saying that more than
200,000 big and little retailers
have been given more time to
file "pricing charts" with the
government.
The office of price stabiliza
tion extended the deadline from
March 29 until April 30. Al
though the action was announced
Monday, many retailers were
slow in getting official notification.
The general ceiling price reg
ulation 7 issued late in February
required the retailers to make
up the charts covering sales ol
goods being brought under margin-type
price control.
OPS said the task of listing the
thousands of articles was so big
retailers could not get the charts
completed by March 29.
A report from the district of
fice of price stabilization in Se
attle said: An extension from
March 29 to April 30 in the dead
line for price chart reports by
retailers of drygoods, apparel
and household furnishings was
reported today by the district of
fice of price stabilization. The
reports are to give average re
tail markups from wholesale
prices.

Little Hoover
Report Final
Oregon's "Little Hoover" com.
mittee on reorganization of the
state government made its final
report today after two years of
study.
The committee called for in
creased legislative attention to
state administrative problems,
and suggested a legislative inter
im committee might study
whether the state constitution
should be revised. This latter
committee could recommend to
the 1953 legislature whether a
constitutional convention should
be held.
The committee's main recom
mendation was to create a state
department of finance and ad
ministration. This department
would take over the state budget
division; the. accounting divis
ion of the state department, the
state printing department, and
the state purchasing department.
