Dana Favors Evacuation
All Troops From Korea
Today the best policy that
can be followed In Korea is
to evacuate all troops from
North and South Korea, and
let the Koreans solve their
own problem of unification,'
declared Marshall N. Dana, as
sistant to the President of the
United States National bank
of Portland and former edi
torial staff member of the Ore
gon Journal, in an address at
the Western Collectors confer
ence Saturday morning at the
Senator hotel.
Dana said that If this were
done, Syngman Rhee would be
able to exert his influence in
North Korea as well as in the
south, and could gain more
friends for the west than
could be accomplished an any
other manner.
Dana also commented on the
forthcoming peace conference
saying, "The UN is dealing
with a question of permanent
peace. Where only a few met
the test of money, blood, and
tears in Korea, we will see
11 that can crowd in to deal
with the peace issue If they
are tuowed to do so.
- The invasion of Korea was
intended ss the spring-board
for conquest of all Asia, Dana
saia. we do not seek to widen
the bloody trial of war, but we
can not dodge our duty in
keeping the way open to the
. grl rf freedom.
liana concluded his talk by
asking: "Which if greater, the
fear of war or the fear of
security? The Korean truce
was lest disturbing to busi
ness and industry than many
expected. It seems, therefore,
that we need not fear security.
"We are also required to
face the question: Can arms
solve peace?"

Bishops Sue
On Tax Claims
Washington UI8 Attempt by
the Bureau of Internal Reven
ue to collect alleged tax deft
eienciea from two Pendleton
Woolen Mills plant and from
the Charles K. Bishop trust
were challenged today In fed
eral tax court here.
The Bureau is attempting to
collect $11,092 from the tex
tile firm, $23,338 from the
Bishop trust, and $32,243 from
C. M. Bishop, president of Pen
dleton Woolen Mills, Ine.
Petitions filed by the three
parties asked the court to de
termine whether the 1940 in
come of plants in Portland and
Los Angeles were properly tax
able to the company or to C
M. Bishop and the trust for his
nephews, Robert C. and Char
nephews, Robert C. and
Charles K. Bishop. The trust
has been dissolved.
Bishop protested the Bur
esu's effort to assess the trust
for additional taxes, claiming
it is based on the "erroneous"
finding that the 1946 income
of the Los Angeles plant was
also the partnership's income.
He said the income was that of
Pendleton Mills ' corporation
and was reported to the bureau
for tax purposes and the
taxes were paid.
