Page 2 Section I THE CAPITAL JOURNAE Senate Votes 16-14 to Retain Anti-Picketing Law in Oregon SEAWOLF JOINS FLEET Move to Reconsider Planned By Opponents Next Week, Conciliation Bill Wins The Oregon antipicketing law, passed in 195.1, will stay on the books unless labor can pick up two more votes in the Senate. The Senate voted 16-14 late Friday against repealing the law. But a move to reconsider will be made next week. The vote came attcr an hour o( dramatic debate Francii lor Rppral Sen. Carl Francis, Dayton, was the only Republican who voted for repeal. Sens. Harry Boivin, Klamath Falls, and Dan Thicl, As toria, were the only Democrats who opposed repeal. Boivin and Thiel will he under heavy pressure to change their votes. The law forbids unions from pic keting for the purpose of influenc ing workers to join a union. It also sets up a state labor examin cr to conduct elections to dcter ' mine bargaining agents. The repeal move had been ap proved by the Democratic-controlled House, but when it got to the evenly-split Senate, it was a dif ferent story. Ohmarl Move Beaten After the defeat of the repeal, Sen. Lee Olimart (It), Salem, moved to Indefinitely postpone, but that failed 15-15. Had his mo tion passed, It would have taken a two thirds vote to revive the bill. Sen. Phil Brady (D), Portland, for many years president of the Portland Central Labor Council, said the 1953 law "brought back .the law of the jungle by return ing to government by injunction. It is just a spite law." Ohmart said that the Labor and Industries Committee, which voted for repeal, never even read the law. "Prior to the passage of the 1 law," Ohmart said, "tyranny pre vailed. This law just gives the employer needed protection." Ohmart said that labor relations now are good, and that nothing should be done to upset them. The Republicans favor having a legislative committee make a two- year study of labor-management, problems. The Senate voled 27-3 for a House bill to set up a conciliation service within the Deportment of Labor. This service would mediate labor disputes when requested by either labor or management. The Senate passed and sent to the Governor a bill to increase the limits on veterans farm and home loans. The ceiling on home loans will be boosted from $9,000 to $13, 500, and for farms from $15,000 to $30,000. . Both houses completed action on the measure to set up a welfare recovery division in the attorney general's oflice. This division will prosecute welfare frauds, hunt for fathers who won t support their families, and enforce the relative responsibility law. Both houses are taking Saturday off, but Saturday sessions might begin next week. Suoinela Confirmed WASHINGTON (UP)-Thc Sen ate yesterday confirmed by voice vote the nomination of Arnle .1.

British Leader Resigns Over Cyprus Issue Marquess of Salisbury Trolests Release Of Arehhishop LONDON Ml The Marquess of Salisbury's resignation protest ing release of Greek-Cypriot Arch bishop Maknrios focussed atten tion today on a cabinet rift over the government's handling of the explosive Cyprus issue. The announcement that Salis bury had quit his cabinet post as leader of government forces in the House of Lords came last night. Prime Minister Macmillan's of fice reported that Queen Elizabeth II had accepted his resignation as Lord President of the Council. Salisbury also quit as political controller of Britain's atomic energy development. Macmillan's statement said the Karl of Home, commonwaelth relations secre tary, will take over as Lord Pres ident and the Prime Minister him self will assume the atomic ener gy post. Action Backed Informed sources said Salisbury was backed by some other minis ters in his opposition to the re lease of Makarlos. Salisbury, 63-year-old former foreign minister, was believed to have been one of the masterminds in the Conservative Parly's ef forts to find a successor for Sir Anthony Eden as Prime Minister. Macmillan was named to the post .Ian. 10, two hours after Salisbury had spent 60 minutes talking with the Queen. In announcing his resignation, Salisbury sent the Prime Minister a strong note scoring Makarios' release as "neither wise nor timely." Chessman Picked for Highway Commission Robert B.

Monroe Swcetland's pro posal to remove the exemption In the state income tax law for fed eral income tax payments, in cluded In his lax program, is not being received wilh any enthusi asm by some of his fellow Demo crats in the Legislature. There is 111 tic doubt in most legislators' minds that when the final tax program for the 1957-59 biennium is completed by Ihe House Tax Commiltec, it will in clude a substantial increase in in come tax rates, both personal and corporate excise taxes. To add the amount of money taxpayers save through allowance of exemptions to the amount of federal taxes paid, would be an added burden on taxpayers, a burden that income taxpayers will resent. Parlies Pledged Bolh political parties are pledged to repeal Ihe 45 per cent surtax, imposed by the 1955 Legis lature.

In addition more money must be raised if the Legislature adopts many of the programs before it, including quite a number urged by Gov. Robert D. Holmes in his in augural address. As a resull, the biennial budget will likely be closer to 290 mil lion dollars than the 265 million placed as a budget ceiling by De mocratic legislative lenders. Who will pay the increased in come tax rates? Certainly not persons with large incomes. Fig ures taken from the returns made in 1956 on incomes for the previous year tell the slory. A total of 8.1,220 persons, whose income ranged between $4. OIK) and $5,000 a year, filed returns and 57,550 earning between $5,000 and $ti,ooo brought in $7,649,000 to the state coffers. Taking a look at the higher In come brackets, one finds that only 717 persons, with incomes between $50.noo and $100,000, tiled returns. When it comes to persons with incomes of $400,000 or more in Ore gon, they arc few indeed. Onlv 25 taxpayers were in this class, pay ing a loiai ol only $2,054,000. May Remove Exemption It will not only be the personal income taxpayers who are likely to feel the impact of increased rates. There is talk from informed legis lators that an eflort will be made to remove the exemption now al lowed on personal property. It this is done, it will strike hard est on stores and other business eslnlihshmenls thnt carry heavy inventories. In addition. It is almost certain that private utility excise taxes will be upped. the only question being how much the increase will be. .Now the private utilities pay s per rem ot tneir net income in excise taxes wilh a 50 oer eent offset on properly taxes. I hero is a bill In Ihe Tax Com mittee to increase this tax to eight per cent with the same oflset. No action has been taken on the bill to date. Details of the House tax program will not be revealed until the com mittee, or the Democratic major ity of it, comes up with its ideas. This is not expected until about April 15 to 20. After such a program passes the House, it will go to the Senate Tax Committee, and based on past ex perience, il will be given quite a going-over there. ROBERT CHESSMAN Chinese Deny Planes Downed TAIPEI WV-Chinese Nationalist air force headquarters today de nied Chinese Communist claims to have downed two Nationalist Thunderjets this week off south east China. The Reds claimed they shot down one plane Tuesday and an other yesterday, both off the coast of Kwanxtung. "The Reds," an air force spokesman said, "have developed the habit of claiming a kill eury Lime their antiaircraft guns open up. Their latest claims are non sense."

Wi The Navy welcomed its second atomic pow ered submarine the Seawolf into the fleet Saturday as evi dence of a "new approach to this vitally important problem of de- eloping the best possible nuclear propulsion." Rear Adm. Frederick B. Ward - said at the commissioning ceremony that the new craft will be used to "develop and demon strate new operational concepts and techniques to the limit we wish to exploit her." This apparently was a hint at the limits in operational power that have been placed upon the submarine because of the unique means used to transform into pow er the heat generated by its atom ic furnace. Warder, director of undersea warfare in the office of chief of naval operations, also took note of technical difficulties which de- laved the commissioning of t h e 330-foot long ship. The Seawolf, which displaces 3,260 tons, was built here by the Electric boat division ot General Dynamics Corp. The Navv had said previously the Seawolf would operate in par tial power because its super heat er system had been cut off to pre vent tube corrosion by liquid so dium that is used as a heat trans fer agent. The delay in commissioning the new sub was caused by efforts to overcome difficulties with the liquid sodium, which is in the jacket surrounding the nuclear power plant. The Nautilus. America's first atomic sub. is equipped with a water-cooled jacket. The Nautilus now is being refueled for the first time since it was launched two years ago.
