House Rejects Bonds
For Institution Work
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
Associated Press Wrilcr
The Oregon House of Represen
tatives has indicated it doesn't
think much of having more state
bond issues.
It defeated late Monday a pro
posed constitutional amendment
that would have authorized 15 mil
lion dollars worth of bonds to
build new buildings at state in
titulions. There were 29 votes for
the bill 2 less than necessary
and 26 votes against. It would
have been referred to the people
at the next general election.
The measure was proposed by
Hale Treasurer big Unandcr.
The vote was significant in view

Utility Survey
Attacks Public
Power-'Kecfe'
Esles Says Ad Expense
Deduction Should
Not Be Allowed
WASHINGTON IB Sen. Ke
fauver (D-Tenn) said Tuesday the
Internal Revenue Service has
itartcd a study of private electric
utility advertising which Kefauver
said attacked public power.
In a speech on the Senate floor,
the Tennessean said he was con
vinced the utility companies
should not bo allowed to deduct
the cost of the advertising on
their corporation returns.
Kefauver said the advertising
was "designed to attack the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, Niagara,
Hells Canyon, the Rural Electri
fication Administration and pub
lic power generally."
"Much of this advertising is of
a false and misleading nature,"
he said,
"It was undertaken following a
survey made for the National
Assn. of Electric Companies,
which showed that TVA was very
popular but - socialism was not
and, therefore, . the cold-blooded
decision was made to link TVA
with socialism and the electric
companies advertising program
was formed . . .
"I have no present estimate on
the amount of money spent, but
It is considerable," Kefauver con
tinued. "I have a booklet 'pub
lished oy lie Saturday Evening
Posl reprinting all Iho advertise
ments which appeared In that
journal alone through 1056. There
ate 169 of them. The advertising
Agency in publishing this booklet
claims credit for helping shift
public opinion 12 per. cent in the
course of the campaign.
- "There is llllle doubt In my
mind that these companies have
been charging the public, through
Income tax deductions, for their
own brain-washing."
The senator olfcred for the Con
gressional Record a letter from
Russell C. Harrington, commis
sioner of Internal revenue, which
laid:
"I have directed our field forces
to make a study of-the import of
the magazine advertisements in
question and their relationship .to
any proposed legislation."

The Senate passed 1614 a bill
to change the 11155 law which pro
vides that when a person is libeled
by an accidental mistake, he can
collect only actual damages. The
law eliminates punitive damages
in such cases.
As the bill goes to the House.
its most significant change would
be to require a publisher or radio
or television station owner to'
prove that the libel was accidental
and free from negligent.
The present law requires that
the person bringing the suit must
prove lack of negligence.
1 hree Senate lawyers Carl
Francis, Dayton: Warren Gill,
Lebanon; and Philip S. Lowry,
Mcdford led the assault on the
present law.
They said It Is unconstitutional
because it violates a provision
guaranteeing . "remedy by due
course of law."
Lowry said the 1(155 law "in
vited yellow journalism to Ore
gon." Iho only senator who supported
the 1955 law was Leander Quir
ing, Hermiston, a former weekly
newspaper publisher.
He said that the 1955 law was
good because it eliminated nui
sance libel suits, and declared
that the people haven't demanded
any change in it.
Republicans voting against the
bill were: Bellon, Cameron,
Chose, Hare, Leth, Ohmart, Quir
ing, Schlcsinger, Wilhelm, Ylurri
and Zieglcr. The Democrats
against tho bill were: Chapman,
Hopkins and Thiol.
the House voted to reconsider
the municipal power tax bill and
sent it to the Taxation Commit
tee. The bills, defeated 30 to 24 last
Friday, would permit property
taxation of property of municipal
electric companies which is owned
outside the boundaries of the cit
ies in which they arc located.
J no specific purpose of the bill
Is to allow tho Springfield School
District to tax property of tho Eu

Rap 'Key ' Bill
School officials from Eastern
Oregon and Portland disputed
Monday night the entire theory
u( the key district bill to redis
tribute the basic school support
fund.
They told the House Education
Committee that the Senate-passed
bill wouldn't achieve its objective
of equalizing educational oppor
tunities and school taxes, and
that it is unfair. . ,
The bill would fix $230 per child
per year as the standard of edu
cational cost. Each district would
be given state money equal to the
difference between (hat figure and
the local school taxes.' The theory
is that local school taxes should
be made uniform.
But the officials from Portland
and Eastern Oregon areas which
would lose by the proposed for
mulacontended the bill is based
on a false premise that true cash
value of taxable property is an
index of wealth.
George Baldwin, clerk of Port
land School District, said that

Split on Ike's

KHARTOUM, Sudan W The
two trad i iir par I Irs in Sudan's
coalition government have split
over the Eisenhower Middle East
doctrine.
Leaders of the People's Repub
lican party, which holds six of the
1R Cabinet scats, announced oppo
sition to the American program
"if the doctrine contradicts our
neutral policy."
A party spokesman called lor a
conference of Arab nations to de
cide a collective policy toward the
Mscnhower program ol U.a. eco
nomic aid and military help
against Communist penetration.
Premier Ahdulla Khalia's Urn-
ma party, which holds another six
Cabinet scats, attacked this stand
and insisted on close examination
of the doctrine before a decision.
"If Smuti Arabia, who is a mem
ber of the extremist bloc among
Arab miliotiK, did not tako such
measures against the doctrine,"
an Umma party spokesman said,
"then it will only he foolish if we
do so. We must be more realistic

He pointed out that they get

grant revenues, but that the key
district bill doesn't take this into
consideration.
"You can't equalize school taxes
unless this O & C money is taken
into consideration," he said.
Baldwin pointed to the Grants
Pass district as one which is
classified as poor, but which, he
said, actually is wealthy because
of the O it C money it uses for
schools.
Baldwin also criticized the
"lack of stability" in using Irue
cash value as an index of how
much a district should get. This
is unfair, he said, because . many
counties have not been reap

they had no alternative plan. Rep.

Radiation
Developed
for Experimental Biology.
Abundant chemicals known
sullhydryl compounds are known
to save mice from exposure to X
rays which normally would kill
all of them. One such chemical is
Cysteine, a building block of pro-
tiens. these chemicals work only
if taken before exposure to radia
tion. Drugs of this class also protect
monkeys, a much higher form of
life, said n new report by Dr. B
CI. Crouch and Dr. Richard H.
Overman of Iho University of Ton
ncssce College of Medicine, Mem
phis. '
Monkeys fed one of these drugs
and then exposed to killing
amounts of X-rays arc still alive
-six months later, and are appar
ently normal, they said.
One of the bad and early ef
fects of radiation is damage to
the bone marrow and organs
which form blood cells and blood.
Within seven weeks time, the
monkeys' blood appeared quite
normal with tho pretrentment.
Injections ol bone marrow are
one hope far rescuing the blood

tion has done its damage. Such
injections help mice given
nothing before the lethal X-rays
and tney also apparently work
in monkeys, the new findings
show.

State-Federal
Courts Contest
In Elkins Case
PORTLAND Wl The federal
wiretap charge against Portland
racketeer Jim Elkins has started
a state vs. federal .court contest
for supremacy.
State Circuit Judge Charles W.
Redding issued a temporary in
junction Monday to prohibit police
from testifying about the seizure
of tape recordings, held by the
federal government as evidence.
Redding said the raid warrant,
obtained by Dist. Atty. William
Langley, had been held in state
court to be illegal, and therefore
there was doubt the police could
testily about the tapes, even in
federal court.
The federal district attorney, C.
E. Luckcy, said the federal court
had supremacy and the police
would be called to testify.
This will leave Ihe police the
choice "between the two courts
as to which they would prefer lo
be in contempt of," said Luckey.
It may be settled, however,
without difficulty. Federal' Judge
William East indicated he would
grant a recess after selection of
a jury in the Elkins case before
witnesses are called.
Rcdding's temporary injunction
lasts until Thursday, when he will
hear arguments on the matter.
