Tax Ban Near s
Vote in Senate
Foes of Levy Take Bill Away From
Committee, First Sueh Move in
Years; Aetion Due Today
By PAUL W.
Associated
Foes of a state property tax succeeded Thursday
in forcing the Senate Taxation committee to bring
to the floor a bill that would permanently take the
slate out of the property tax field.
The vote was 20-9. All 15 KcpuD-
licans supported the move, and
five Democrats joined them.
The motion to take the bill away
from Die committee was made by
Sen. Warren Gill (R), Lebanon,
one of the authors of the bill. The
bill must be brought to the Sen
ate floor Thursday afternoon.
The Senate's action marks the
first time in years that either
house has taken a bill away from
a committee.
' Action Follows Hearing
The action followed a hearing
by the Senale Tax Committee on
the bill. The committee's four
Democrats voted against a Repub
lican move to recommend passage
of the bill. The three Republicans
on the committee supported it.
Gill told the Senate that it is
"fair, equitable and proper" to
take the state out of the property
tax field. He added that the Sen
ate should express itself before
the House writes the tax program.
Sen. Walter J. Pearson (D),
Portland, Tax Committee chair
man, argued that the committee
hasn't had lime to consider the
bill. He said he is for the bill,
but that he would vote against it
if the bill were taken from his
committee.
Pearson denied there was any
intention to bury the bill in com
mittee. Demos Against Record
Voting against the motion to re
call the bill from committee were
Sens. Phil Brady, Portland; R, F.
Chapman, Coos Bay; Alfred H.
Corbett, Portland; Dan Dimick,
Roseburg; Ben Musa, The Dalles;
Andrew . J. Natorlin, Newport;
Pearson: Monroe Sweetland. Mil
waukee, and President Boyd Over-
hulse, Madras. All are Democrats.
At the morning hearing, the bill
drew opposition from organized
labor, but won strong support
from the counties and business
and farm groups.
The bill would repeal the pres
ent law which provides for an
automatic state property levy of
six mills when other slate rev
enues are insufficient. A six-mill
levy would raise 13 million dol
lars a year.
Oregon hasn't had to levy a
stale property tax for the past 16
years, but some legislators feel
that income lax revenues might
fall , to such an extent that the
slate might be forced to levy a
property lax in the next bicnnium
Tom Scanlon, representing the
state Labor Council (AFL-CIO),
opposed the bill. He said the prop
erly lax levy should stay in the
law because it might be needed
as a cushion.
Scanlon said nobody has been
hurl by the existing law, and that
if the Legislature docs a good job
of budgeting, a slate properly tax
would not be needed
Cloudy Skies
Herald Rain
Verv little rain had come down
in the Salem area by Thursday
morning despite the forecasts, but
skies were cloudy and predictions
still calling for showers.
Cold temperatures were the
order, the minimum in Salem this
morning dropping to 27 and an
even lower mark booked for to

was measured in Salem in the 24

day slashed 12 per cent $60,794,
000 from the Interior Depart
ment's request for $515,189,700 in
new funds for the fiscal year start

The $454,395,700 recommended

The House committee said there
is no further need to continue the
subsidy program for acquiring the
minerals.
The bill is the second of 13 reg

Cost of Living
HitsNcwHigh
For 5th Month
WASHINGTON (fl The gov
ernment Thursday reported living
costs rose to a new record level
in January for the fifth consecu
live month.
The boost means at least I
penny-an-hour pay boost for about
1,400,000 workers in the auto, air
craft and farm equipment indus
tries. Their labor contracts have
clauses gearing pay to the gov'
crnment index.'
The new index, for mid-January,
showed a rise of two-tenths of one
per cent from mid - December.
This brought the Index to 118.2 per
cent of the 1947-49 average. It
thus now takes $11.82 to buy what
could be purchased for a 1)0 bill
in the 1947-49 era.
Ewan Clague, labor statistics
commissioner, told newsmen in
appraising the living cost situa
tion: '
"I'd say not much . change com-

than downward. I think it's going

Roars Out
Of Control
RiiuawayMatador
Believed Down '
In Colorado
ALAMOGORDO, N.M.
(AP) A runawav A i r
Force rocket roared out of
control over New Mexico
Thursday and landed, probably in
western Colorado. .
The Air Force guided missile,
the .Matador, was not carrying an
explosive warhead.
A spokesman at Holloman Air
Development Center, near this
southern New Mexico city, said
the burnout time for the rocket
had long passed and that the mis
sile "certainly is on the ground."
He said it was presumed to
have landed in the isolated Rocky
Mountain area, probably western
Colorado.
Burnout Within Hour
The Air Force spokesman said
the location was figured on the
known speed of the Matador and
its maximum flight time. He de
clined to give figures on maxi
mum flight time but earlier re
ports from other sources indicated
burnout came an hour after the
rocket was launched at 9:12 a.m.
PST.
White Sands Proving Ground,
which shares the vast southern
New Mexico missile range with
Holloman, said it was notified the
rocket escaped its controls eight
minutes after the firing.
The rocket carried only instru
ments. Its maximum explosive
payload is secret, the Air Force
said.
Jets Hunt It
Jets in New Mexico, Utah and
presumably other states were or
dered into the air to attempt to
find the rocket and shoot it down,
The Civil Aeronautics Adminis
tration in Albuquerque was alert
ed to the runaway rocket but de
clined lo give out any Informa
tion.
One early unconfirmed report
from Utah said the missile was
expected to run out of fuel and
impact at or near Salt Lake City.
The Air Tore at Hollomanr how
ever, had discounted the possibil
ity of it getting that Jar.
The M a t a d o r, a ground-to-ground
member Of the nation's
arsenal of rockets, has a wing
span of 27.9 feet and is 39.6 feet
long. :
Its ceiling, the Air Force said,
is "over 35,000 feet" and the
speed "more than 650 miles per.
hour. -
The Martin Co. built the Mata
dor, which is powered by a J33
jet engine and is launched by
rocket boosters from a mobile
launcher.
It normally is controlled elec
tronically from ground stations.
The Matador is designed for
tactical Use and is capable of car
rying either a conventional or an
atomic warhead.
The runaway rocket Thursday
carried only instruments, the Air
Force said, and was on an ex
perimental flight.

Defy Leader's
Call to Work
NEW YORK Ifl - Striking long
shoremen along the northeastern
coast Wednesday defied orders of
their union chief lo go back to
work.
The rank and file movement
was based on failure of union lo
cals in Baltimore and Hampton
Roads, Va., to reach new con
tracts with employers.
All others along the coast from
Hampton Roads to Maine have
worked out pacts,
Stevedores in Boston, the Phila

Local leaders in various ports

It was nut Immediately clear
what internal union situation had,
or will, develop from the mem
bership defiance of President Wil

back to work Thursday morning.
And. with prospects for settle
ment seemingly poor in Baltimore

a general resumption of work

Bus Line Terms for

If City Transit Lines accepts an
agreement reached by a joint com

cities after March 1.
The agreement, arrived at in a
meeting in Eugene, accepts in the
main a proposal made by CTL
to continue operation, but under
a flexible franchise. The commit
tee made some changes in the
proposed franchise which it con
siders minor. Carl Wendt, general
manager of Ihe bus company, is
in Eugene and could not be im
mediately contacted. He was not
present st the meeting.
The committee wants Ihe bus
company lo increase the insur
ance coverage proposed. It asks
that property damage coverage
he increased from $10,000 to S20,

':'! ';''.!'.,. j Capital Journal Writer
Have the Salem schools something In (he way of patriotism
and a determination concerning the "American Way of Life"
not possessed by other communities?
It would seem so, judging by"
the results of their competition in
connection with the annual awards
mode by "Freedom Foundation at
Valley Forge." However, school
principals and teachers say that
the spirit of the children them
selves, guided in the proper chan
nels, is responsible tor their suc
cesses. Six Schools Win
As a result of the 19.16 competi
tion, six Salem schools received
recognition, including a George
Washington honor medal lo Leslie
junior high school. Since there
were 110 principal school and
Freedom library awards issued on
a national level, the live won by
lie elementary division in Salem
is an outstanding performance.
The Salem winners were: Engle
wood and Morningside, principal
school awards; Bush, Keizer, 'and
Richmond, Valley Forge Freedom
Library awards.
For Englewood It was Its sev-
higher insurance coverage.
Commenting on Ihe proposal of
the two cities Carl Wendt, man
ager of City Transit, said Thurs
day afternoon "I love it. There
were just two considerations in
volved in our proposal, the public
and the drivers. If this is approv
ed by the councils it will mean a
slight increase in fares. But if the
public acceptance of the new fares
is good, it will not mean any re
duction in service."
