The quotation was attributed lo Robert Mautz, Portland, Republi can National Committeeman. However, Hatfield says Mautz denied making the statement. Mautz was quoted as saying: "The Republican Party will be deal" as the dodo tird if it doesn't return to old-fashioned Rcpubli . canism."

Ontario Lawyer First Basque To Sit in State Legislature By GORMAN 1IOGAN A handsome, muslached son of a country storekeeper has brought to the Oregon Legislature for the first time a link with a vanishing way ol lile in the Pacific Northwest Anthony Yturri, 42-ycar-old Ontario lawyer, is the first Basque ever to sit in 'he slate's law mak ing body, yet his people have played an important part in the economy of Oregon and Idaho for more than a half century and have contributed much to the region's colorful and romantic history. Was it a lack of interest which kept the Basques from seeking to help shape the state's legisla tive affairs for so long? Not necessarily, Vlurri says. -today own seven million motor vehicles and 4.5 million horses and mules.

Remember In Salem It's the Hotel Marion Come From Pyrennes The Basques, who live in seven provinces in the Pyrennes Moun tainsthree of them in Spain and four in France began coming to this country in the 1890s and the first ones settled in southeastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho. Since they were the world's finest shepherds and still are so con sideredthey began caring for American flocks. From shepherds they advanced lo owners until there were more Basques than any other people running large bands of sheep in Oregon, Idaho and Nevada, the dark and dapper Yturri points out. Danish and independent, they ran their herds on the wide range lands of the three states, often isolated by vast distances from others. Jordan Valley Center The Basque stronghold in south eastern Oregon was Jordan Val ley, once such a thriving commu nity it was considered for the sent of Malheur County. It was there Yturri was born and reared.' His father, Domingo, came lo this country as a boy and after an unsuccessful try at the sheep business, he set up a country store at Jordan Valley with W. R.

Senator Anthony Yturri (R - Malheur) Is the first Basque ever lo sit In the Oregon legislature. as a boy, was a hub of an area with a radius of 50 miles. "Yturri and Helm sold everything you could imagine," the senator recol lects everything was on credit and people settled their accounts once a year. The store even served as a bank, financing many of the sheep men." Domingo Yturri, now retired, still is one of the 250 to 300 resi dents of Jordan Valley. But the life he knew is gone. New Grazing Laws New federal grazing laws and economic conditions brought such change to the sheep business that now, Sen. Yturri says, not more than five Basques in Oregon and Idaho have herds of any size, and the center of Oregon's sheep industry has shifted to Western Orogon's Douglas County, in the Defeat Looms For Sales Tax Plan By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. Associated Press Writer The House Taxation Committee, which seeks to give the 3 per cent sales tax bill a quick burial, is facing a tremendous job in pro viding enough money to run the slate for the two years beginning next July 1. When the House meets Monday to start the fourth week of the Legislature, it will consider the committee's 6-2 recommendation that the bill be defeated. Since the House's Democratic majority doesn't like a sales tax, a quick defeat of the bill is expected. The committee is pressing the Joint Ways and Means Commit tee for an estimate as to how much money will be nepded, and when it gets that figure, the pic ture won't look qood. ' Income Rate Hike Already, the committee, with a 8-3 Democratic majority, is com mitted to raise almost all of the new revenue by an, upward revi sion of income tax rates, with the rest coming from higher corpora tion taxes. There is no doubt that the 45 per cent income surtax will be repealed, or that the $500 personal exemptions will be put back to $(100. Repeal of the surtax and boost ing exemptions will deprive the state of 54 million dollars in the biennium. . Gov. Holmes' recommendations, including a 45-million dollar in crease in aid to schools, will cost at least 50 millions more. Therefore, the taxation commit tee will have to find at least 104 millions more, and most of it would be raised by boosting the personal income tax rates. May Top Surtax Consequently, the Republicans, who took the rap for the 45 per cent surtax, see the prospect that tnc Democrats might have to im ft . m Salem, Oregon, Saturday, February 2, 1957 Labor Unions After Two-Thirds Pay f or UnemployedWorker yyr o - By NORMAN WALKER MIAMI BEACH. Fla. Wl - The AFL-CIO today set its sights on a federal guarantee of two-thirds normal pay for a worker when unemployed a plan already in effect in some private industries. A policy statement adopted by the AFL-CIO Executive Council at its winter meetings here urged Congress to require states to provide unemployment com pensation benefits amounting to "al least 65 per cenl" of a work er's past fulltime earnings. Th. nmnosed maximum benefit would be limited to two-thirds of workers' average weekly earn ings. This average is now aDoui $80 a week, ine pian inus via noses weekly unemployment ben efits of about $55 compared with pavmcnts now averaging about $30. Under supplemenlal uncmploy' ment benefit plans already nego tiated by unions with the auto, sleel and other industries, em nlovcrs augment slate jobless payments lo a maximum of 65 per cent ol a worker s nor mal take-home pay.

For many years, however, the Senate has changed the Houses pro grams so that they couldn't be recognized. Sen. Walter J. Pearson (D), Portland, chairman of the Taxa- By JAMES D. OLSON Capital Journal Writer The Oregon Legislature is still operating in low gear, with the lower house far advanced of the senate. A total of 360 bills have been introduced in the house while only 47 bills are on the senate calendar. Legislative custom calls for a ! veteran member of each body tofT1 T move for adjournment after the Q LilCCllSC 10T desks have been cleared each day. In the house for many years, the late Rep. Harvey Wells was as signed this task. This session the duty has fallen to Herman Chind- gren, (R-Clackamasl, dean ol the house. ' Over in the senate, veteran leg islator Sen. Phil Brady D-Mult-nomah) is the man to move for adjournment. But Brady doesn't do it the usual way. He generally makes a short speech and always winds up with "due to the lateness of the hour, I now move we ad journ until 10 a.m. Monday," or whatever day it might be. Milk Dealers Dairy company officials pro tested Friday against a bill to license, audit and bond milk distributors. The protests were aired before the House Food and Dairy Com mittee. The bill is sponsored by the Oregon Milk Producers Assn. Some of the opponents said the bill would force an increase in ' may vote against it milk prices. Another opponent. Gordon Cole man, Portland, said "this is only milk ties in the senate. Next week there will be some arguments heard in the house, first on Tuesday morning when the Hells Canyon memorial is a spe cial order of business. The pro posed sales tax bill will be voted on early next week. Democrats to Support The Hells Canyon memorial will be supported by most of the Demo crats although observers say that there arc some Democrats in the house who will not vote for it. A close vote on the memorial is pre dicted. Likewise, there are a few Demo crats in the lower house who will vote for the sales tax bill but that will probably be offset by a couple of Republicans who will vote against the bill. One of these, Rep. Allen Tom (R-Sherman), who is in favor of a state sales tax, doesn't like the makeup of the present bill and for that reason The labor group also Dronm! extending to 39 weeks the period state benefits are payable.

The council was in recess until Monday, but George Meany, the federation's president, continued a round of meetings aimed at ironing out union jurisdictional disputes.

Oregon Crime Bureau Asked Creation of a slate Bureau of Criminal Identification and Inves tigation patterned after the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation was proposed Friday in a bill intro duced in the Senate by Sen. Carl Francis (R), Dayton. It would require all local en forcement officers to file detailed reports of crimes in their area. The agency would be under the supervision of the governor, who would appoint the director. Crim inal files of the state police also would be transferred to the new department. Francis said the proposal is an outgrowth of studies by the Legis lative Interim Committee on Sex Crimes. ' OOX OFFICE O TICKETS NOW ON SALE THE ST. OlAF CHOIR THURS. FEB. 14th 8:15 P.M. Res.
