Legislators Hope to End
Session Week from Today
Oregon's tired legislators, on their 104th day today, have high
hopes the session will end a week from today.
They base these hopes on the fact that work is about finished
on the major taxation, education, appropriation and highway
legislation.
These important bills should?
be disposed of by the middle of
next week. And then the pres
sure will be on to get out of
here quickly.
The tax program probably will
be in senate-house conference
committee on Monday. On that
day, the house will vote on the
bill to reorganize school districts,
and the senate will vote on the
whole highway program, includ
ing issuing road bonds, boosting
truck taxes, and fixing weight
limits.
The senate voted 22 to 8 yes
terday for a memorial asking
congress to give the state the
2.490,000 acres of heavily-timbered
Oregon and California
grant lands. The measure goes
to the house.
These lands, worth about half
a billion dollars, were given to
the Oregon and California rail
road company in 1870. But the
federal government took them
back in 1915 because the rail
road didn't live up to the terms
of the grant.
State Sen. Howard C. Belton,
Canby, said the state forestry
department could manage the
lands better than the government
'is doing.
The memorial was opposed by
State Sen. Richard L. Neuberger,
Portland democrat, who said
Oregon "is horrible example No.
1 in handling public lands."
The senate killed by a 22 to 8
v o t e a proposed constitutional
amendment to let the 1953 legis
lature attach an emergency
clause to a tax on gross income
of business.
The purpose of the measure
was to let the next legislature
levy the business tax and pre
vent a referendum attack on it
Emergency clauses, which can't
be put on tax bills, prevent bills
from being referred to the peo
ple.
The senate tax committee,
sponsor of the measure, said the
next legislature will have to find
$60,000,000 of new revenue. It
said the measure would make
sure of a certain source of reve
nue. The committee pointed out
that the next legislature might
pass a tax program and then it
might be referred, thus leaving
the state without finances.
Opponents of the measure ar
gued it would deprive the peo
ple of their fundamental right of
referendum.
The senate-passed bill to let
the state board of health stop air
pollution was approved by the
house aviation and commercej
committee.
The house highway commit
tee will hold a hearing Monday
on a bill to distribute the coun
ties' 19 per cent share of high
way funds on a basis of popula
tion, arer., and highway mileage.
It now is distributed according
to the number of motor vehicles
registered. -
Sponsored by eastern Oregon
legislators, the bill would give
more money to counties with
small populations and less to the
big counties.
Taking Daylight
Case to Circuit Court
The state Grange, defeated
yesterday in its effort to get the
supreme court to block daylight
saving time, win make a new
effort in Marion county circuit
court next Monday, State
Grange Master Elmer McClure
said Friday.
McClure said he would file
the suit to prevent Governor
McKay from putting daylight
time into effect.
Oregon will advance its
clocks an hour a week from
next Sunday.
The grange lost yesterday's
ease because the high court re
fused to consider the case.

Initiative Bill Hits
At Night Fishing
An initiative petition to pre
vent commercial fishing in the
Columbia river during hours of
darkness will be filed here. Mon
day. .
It is sponsored by the Oregon
State Conservation league, an or
ganization of former fish trap op
erators, who now are banned
from the river by vote of the
people.
The bill is aimed at the gill-
netters, who are largely respons
ible for getting the fish traps
kicked out of the river. .
The fish trappers have asked
the legislature to let them back
into the river, but they couldn't
even get their bill introduced
If 26,286 signatures of regis
tered voters are obtained, the in
itiative would go on the ballot in
November, 1952. .

for space in this week's issue of

this item on the front page:
"We had planned to write
thunderous editorial this week
on the firing of Gen. MacArthur,
but we regret to report that news
from Yahoola and Frogtown, plus
other disturbances in an around

Neither Truman Nor Mac
Ever Revealed Wake Talk
Editor's note: The following dispatch was written by Merri
man Smith, United Press White House reporter who accom
panied President Truman on his trip to Wake island last
October for the historic meeting with Gen. Douglas Mae
Arthur.) By MERR1MAN SMITH
Washington, April 21 01.K President Truman's brief Wake
island meeting with Gen. Douglas MacArthur was a hastily
arranged rendezvous at a time when the end of the Korean war
seemed imminent.
The president announced dramatically last Oct. 10 that he and
MacArthur would make "a quick?
trip over the coming week-end
to meet in the Pacific."
Mr. Truman took off the next
afternoon in his special DC-6,
the Independence, and reached
Wake island after brief stops at
St. Louis, Fairfield (Calif.), air
force base and Honolulu.
Primary purpose of the trip,
according to the president's ad
vance announcement, was to dis
cuss with MacArthur "the final
phase of United Nations action
in Korea."
"Naturally," the president add
ed, "I shall take advantage of
this opportunity to discuss with
General MacArthur other mat
ters within his responsibility."
Mr. Truman took with him
the immediate White House staff,
plus Gen. Omar N. Bradley,
chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff; Army Secretary Frank
Pace; Assistant Secretary of
State Dean Rusk; Ambassador-
at-Large Philip C. Jessup, and
W. Averell Harriman, special
foreign policy adviser to the
president.
MacArthur, who arrived at
Wake from Tokyo by air a few
hours ahead of the president,
was accompanied only by a few
members of his staff, plus John
Muccio, U. S. ambassador to
Korea, and Adm. Arthur W.
Radford, Pacific fleet . com
mander. Mr. Truman and his Far East
ern commander first met shortly
after dawn on Oct. 15. After
brief airfield greeting, they
drove together in a dilapidated
car the only non-jeep on the
island to a small, seashore cot
tage which served as a tempo
rary White House.
In the small, plainly furnish
ed living room of the bungalow,
Dresident and general talked for
more than an hour with no staff
members or advisers within
hearing distance.
Their personal talk completed,
they drove across the island to
a small civil aeronautics admin
istration building where their
only business session a two
hour meeting was held. The
other participants included Brad
ley, Pace, Harriman, Rusk, Jes
sup and Muccio.
To the newsmen who had
flown halfway around the world
for the momentous rendezvous,
the meeting seemed amazingly
brief. But the president said
'complete unanimity" of their
views on reconstruction of Ko
rea and movement of U. S. forces
out of Korea upon completion of
their UN mission made it possi
ble to end the meeting quickly.
A few hours after Mr. Truman
returned to Washington, some
of the government's highest of-
micials said he and the general
had reached an agreement on. the
future of the Chinese nationalist
island stronghold, with the pres
ident apparently selling Mac-
Arthur on the .wisdom of keep
ing the nationalists neutral,
This version was widely cir
culated, and so aroused the pres
ident that he issued a fiery de
nunciation of the report at his
next news conference, saying the
Formosa policy was settled
weeks before the Wake island
meeting. There never has been
however, a detailed report from
either the president or MacAr
thur on what was said in their
hour alone on Wake island.
Johnson Points to
Hay and Seed Support
Earl Johnson, secretary of the
Marion county PMA committee,
this week called attention to the
price support being offered on
1951 hay and pasture grass
seeds.
Of interest to Marion county
farmers is the 35 cents a pound
support placed on red clover
again. It is now estimated that
about 100,000 pounds of . 1950
crop red clover will be taken
over by CCC by May 15, in
Marion county.
Prices will be supported by
non-recourse loans and pur
chase agreements available from
time of harvest through Jan
uary 31, 1952.
Although support will not be
offered on alta fescue this year,
the production and marketing
administration does not recom
mend a reduction in acreage, ac
cording to Mr. Johnson.
