Page 2 Section 1 Tax Need Depends on School Aid Measure By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. Associated Press Writer Legislation calling (or a 50 per cent increase in basic school aid to local districts has become the key log in the Oregon Legislature's log jam. This proposal by Gov. Holmes would cost the state 39 million dollars a biennium. The Legislature will have to de cide whether to grant all or part of the increase before it will know whether it will have to boost in come taxes. It now is in the Joint Ways and Means Committee, where subcom mittees are wrestling with the budget. Since labor and tome Demo- crats are opposed to the full in-1 crease, there is a possibility that fish the Board of Control, nor on a only a part of it, say 10 millioo f resolution to have an interim dollars, might be approved. The: study of the possibility of consoli- House Education Committee voted ; for the full increase. If only a small part of it b ap proved, there is the possibility that the Legislature might not in crease taxes. JTJVSZLEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP financial riddle comes. An interesting development has been the fact that most of the controversial legislation has been introduced in the House. This means that the Senate, which now doesn't have much to do, will face a deluge after the House finishes up. And that means a long ses sion. Status of Bills Here Is the status of major leg Islation: Taxation Nothing will be done on income tax revisions for at least three weeks, because the House Taxation Committee must wait until the Ways and Means Committee gives the answer on how much money will be needed And this answer depends on what is done about basic school aid. A big battle is brewing over pro posals to remove the slate from the properly tax field. There also will be a fight over new legisla tion to give utilities a 30 per cent higher assessment ratio than homes and farms. Education Besides the basic school aid increase legislation, the Senate has the controversial "key district" bill to change the fdrmula for distributing this aid. The House Education Committee probably will act in a few days on another hot one--plans to com. pel reorganization of school dis tricts. Nothing has been done on bills-, providing various teacher benefits. Labor The Senate Labor and Industries . Committee hnsn'l be gun' consideration of bills to in crease unemployment bonefils. The House Labor and Industries Committee isn't near action on bills to boost industrial accident benefits. The House passed this week bills to set up a state con ciliation service and to repeal the 1M3 anil-picketing law.

Reorganization A controversy is shaping up over Democratic plans to create the office of lieu tenant governor. Republicans op pose it. Some of them favor add ing a 31st senator to prevent dead locks in organization. There has been no action on the bill to abol- aun or eliminating many boards and commissions. Power The House-passed me morial asking Congress to build a federal high dam in Hells Can- Rival Surtax Repeal Plans Bring Battle By JAMES D. OLSON Capital Journal Writer Differences of opinion between Democratic and Republican mem bers of the 1957 legislature over how and when the 45 per cent surtnx on income tax rales will be repealed, is rapidly becoming (he major fight in the assembly Both Republicans and Democrats made campaign pledges that the surtax would be repealed. Now the Republican members arc insisting that these promises be kept by repeal of the surtax wilhout any strings attached. On the other hand the Demo crats, or at least the leaders in the Democratic membership in the house and senate, arc following the lead of Gov. Robert u. Holmes, insisting that the repeal of the surtax be tied in with the adjustment of income tax rates. Statement Issued Late this week Reps. Guy Jonas (D-Saleml and Vernon Cook (D- Grcsham),, both freshmen mem bers and on the house tax com mittee, issued a statement the gist of which ran like this: "It is absolutely necessary that we adopt a new income tax sched tile simultaneous to the repeal of the surtnx, if we are to prevent the irresponsible few from trying to "hide with the hares and run with the hounds,, by voting for repeal of the surtax while refus ing to support a realistic and fair income tax program. Immediately after this state ment, Hep. Allen Tom (R-Rufus) declared that the- only possible reason for continuing to delay ac tion on the repeal of the surtax by the Democratic leadership "is to deprive Oregonians of their WHMTHFOOO IS 6000!

Holmes plans a special legislative mes sage next week on the need for a state development department to attract new industry to the state. Welfare There has been noth ing done on Senate bills to repeal the relative responsibility law, or to reduce the payments required under it. Elections The election reform bills, recommended by an interim committee, arc still in the House flections Committee. Veterans There has been no ac tion on measures calling for a maximum $f00 bonus for Korean War veterans, or to increase the ceilings on farm and home loans. The House has voted to extend educational aid for World War II veterans until June 30, 1959. right to vote on an undesirable tax program. "Despite the denials of the ma jority party that this is not their intent," Tom continued, "I repeat again the statement of house speaker Pat Dooley that anyone, who refers the bill containing the rate changes in income tax, takes responsibility for killing the bill that repeals the surtax. 'Resented Implication Tom added that he "resented the implication that anyone who disagrees with the Democrats in this legislature is irresponsible particularly when the disagree ment comes because we are try ing to keep our promises and they are trying to get away with break ing theirs." Twice this week Rep. Wayne Glcsy (R-Monroc) has made un successful attempts in the tax committee, of which he is a mem ber, to persuade the Democratic majority to consider the two bills dealing with the repeal of the sur tax. Giesy has had the support of Rep. Fayette I. Bristol (R-Granls Pass) on both attempts and Demo cratic Rep. Ben Evick (D-Madras) joined in the second effort to have the two bills considered. For the first lime the contro versy shifted into the senate when Stale Senator Rudie Wilhelm Jr., Multnomah county Republican, who was chairman on the interim tax committee and recommended the repeal of the surtax, got into the act. He sent a formal request to At torney General Robert Y. Thorn ton asking for an opinion as to whether or not the referendum could be invoked against the tax rate schedule in House Bill No. 1 wilhout affecting the section of the same bill which repeals the sur tnx.

Blast Scene Hunt Started FLORENCE, Ore. W The Coast Guard hunted the source Saturday of a "terrific explosion" on the coast near here Friday night. The blast was heard by resi dents in a 20-mile radius of the Coast Guard lighthouse at Heceta Head, John Boyer, duty officer there, said. There was no immediate ex planation and the Coast Guard had to wait until daylight to be gin an investigation. The cutter Bonham, about 65 miles from the lighthouse at the time, proceeded to the area. A plane was dis patched from the Port Angeles Coast Guard station. Boyer speculated that a mine possibly washed up on the beach and exploded. But there was no evidence 'that this was (he case.

Por ter (D-OreJ said Friday the par ents of a Eugene, Ore., flier who disappeared in the Dominican Re public Dec. 3 have authorized a civil suit against the estate of his alleged slayer. Porter said Mr. and Mrs. Les ter G. Murphy have retained Rob ert D. Abrahams to bring the ac tion. Abrahams is honorary con sul in' Philadelphia for the Domin ican Republic and a former col lege friend of the congressman. the Lugene couples 23-year-old son, Gerald Lester Murphy, has been missing since going from Miami to the Dominican Repub lic to dispose of properly after leaving his job with the government-owned Dominican Air Line. According to Dominican author ities, young Murphy was slain by Octavio de la Maza, another air line employe. They said De La Maza hanged himself in his jail cell after being arrested in the case and left a suicide note ad mitting his guilt. Porter and Sen. Morse (D-Ore) have expressed doubt over this account. Porter said he had asked Abra hams to make inquiries into the case and that the attorney later assured him the Dominicar gov ernment and its attorney general had been "very cooperative." Abrahams, Porter said, told him Dominican representatives had advised De La Maza and Murphy "had been on very bad terms be cause Murphy had reported to the Dominican Air Line that De La Maza was a careless flier."

In Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon, Arab leaders have shown a willingness to cooperate with the United States in check ing the spread of communism. In Syria, anti-Communist elements have become aroused and are showing more determination than before to oust Red elements in their army.

Fnvorable Responses There have been numerous fa vorable responses from the Arabs to President Eisenhower's Middle East doctrine. The plan envisages economic and military aid to halt Communist peneration in the area. King Saud of Saudi Arabia, now on his way home after talks with Eisenhower in Washington, has agreed to accept U. S. military assistance and renew the lease for the U. S. air base at Dhahran. There also are reports he will use his money and influence in an effort to curb leftist elements in Syria. King Hussein of Jordan recent ly risked a break with his own government, calling for an anti Communist campaign in Jordan and speaking favorably of the Ei senhower doctrine. But if the Unit ed States makes what the Arabs consider a wrong move in the Egyptian-Israeli dispute, leftist elements inside Jordan's govern ment and army could turn the na tion against Hussein.

Deputy Postmaster General Maurice H. Stans described as "drastic and ill-advised" a pro posal by the House Appropriations Committee yesterday to whack 58 million dollars from the bil lion dollars requested to run the Post Office Department in the next fiscal year starting July 1. The reduction would be less than 2 per cent. However, there were signs the House might reverse the commit tee action. An attempt was made in the committee to restore 34 mil lions of the money trimmed. It failed, but another effort will be made on the House floor.
