Strauss Calls
Army Reactor
Tool of Peace
FT. BELVOIR, Va. Wl Chair
man Lewis L. Strauss of the
Atomic Energy Commission said
Monday a new Army package
reactor is "essentially an instru
ment of peaceful progress."
Strauss said the reactor is "as
surely a part of President Eisen
hower's concept of 'atoms for
peace'. ..as are the isotopes from
our atomic reactors which are
today combatting man s diseases
and suffering, improving the
fcrtiliiv of our fields and the
products of our factories, and
pointing the way to new discov
eries." The AEC chief's spceth was
prepared for a ceremony dedicat
ing the new reactor at this Army
Engineer Corps center.
Strauss said development ot the
package reactor "means that the
armed forces will have compact.
efficient and readily-transportable
power plants for remote out
nosts..."
In another speech prepared for
the same ceremony, Secretary of
the Army Brucker said that "by
materially lightening the burden'
on the Army's supply system, such
plants "will render our farflung
operations much less vulnerable
to enemy action.

Negroes,
WASHINGTON I The Su

Monday that Negroes may not be
excluded from Philadelphia's Gi
rard College so long as public of
ficials administer the will which
created the school for poor white
orphan boys.
Stephen Girard, who died in
1831, directed the city in his will
to establish and operate the col
lege, with admission limited to
poor white orphan boys
The high tribunal said that the
Board of Directors of City Trust
of Philadelphia, which adminis
ters Girard College, "is an agency
of the state of Pennsylvania.
Therefore, the court said, "even
though the board was acting as -a
trustee, its refusal to admit . . .

was discrimination .by the state.

The Coast Guard at nearby
Depoe Bay reported that Charles
Oxley, 23, and his wife, Caroline,

the tide went out about 4 a.m. A
spokesman said they appeared to
be all right.
The three were trapped by a
rising tide Sunday evening as
they walked along the seashore.
Two teams of Coast Guardsmen
were sent from Depoe Bay about
II p.m., and for a time the possi
bility of lowering ropes to the
trio was considered.
But instead, the Coast Guard
men stood by until the tide went
out. Policeman Kenny Thies of
Oceanlake said an attempt to
bring them up the cliff was be
lieved to be too dangerous.

Senate; Postpones
Railway, Utility
Bills Action
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
Associated Press Writer
- The Oregon Legislature
opened the 16th week of
its long session Monday by
delaying action on three
Ivital pieces of legislation.
The House postponed action on
the personal income tax bill until
Monday afternoon a session.
At the same time, the Senate
postponed action until Wednesday
on bills to provide minimum rate
regulation for, railroads and to
double the property tax ratio for
utilities. ......
.Tax Vole by Tonight .-
The House was expected, to an
prove the tax program and get
it into the Senate by nightfall.
It calls for incorporating the 45
per cent surtax into the perma
nent income tax structure; boost
ing the $500 personal income tax
exemptions to $600; withholding
all income taxes from salary
checks; increasing the effective
corporation excise tax from 5.1 to
6 per cent; and increasing the
income levy on utilities from 4 to
7 per cent.
The railroad rate legislation,
supported by truck and barge
operators but opposed by the rail
roads, would give the public utili
ties commissioner authority to
regulate minimum rates of rail
roads. The PUC now has such
authority over trucks and barges.
The request for the delay was
made by Sen.' Lcandcr Quiring
(R), Hermiston, who said ho
needed more time to find out if
he had given former Sen. Lowell
Mcen R), Mllton-Frecwater,
pledge that he would approve the
bill. The motion to delay" was
approved, 20-10.
( . Votes Traded .
Quiring was appointed to suc
ceed Steen ?at .the-. start of the
current Legislature.
There were indications, how
ever, that some senators had
traded votes on that bill with
senators involved in the fight over
the variable ratio bill.
The variable ratio bill would
grant a $2,000 property tax ox
emption on homes occupied by the
owner, and tax utilities at double
the rate on other classes of
properly.
. After postponement of the mini
mum rate bill, sen. Walter .1.
Pearson (D), Portland, moved to
delay the action on the variable
ratio bill until Wednesday after
noon, or after the minimum rate
bill is considered. His motion car
ried by a voice vote.
Speaker Pat Dooley said the
House should be through with its
business in about 10 days. The
question on final adjournment
rests with the Senate, which has
n't even had a look at the House
tax program yet.
The session is certain to set a
new record for length. Monday
was the 106th day, and the longest
session on record was the 116-day
meeting of 1951.
Byrd Assails
Tax Writeoff
WASHINGTON (UP)-Scn.
Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) said today
the administration's grant of a
$29,250,000 tax write-off to the'
Idaho Power Co. is "utterly inde
fensible." He said the Senate Finance
Committee, which he heads, may
try to cancel the wnle-olf on a
retroactive basis.".
Other congressional Democrats
protested the move, charging that
it was a "subsidy" to Idaho Power
to develop power resources in
Hells Canyon.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.),
leader in the losing battle for
federal Hells Canyon dam, called
it a "shocking betrayal of public
trust."

To Trim Federal Budget
Johnson Says He's Never Seen
Such Demands Among People
For Government Savings
WASHINGTON (AP) -
and Republican leaders said Monday that 10 days
with the voters at home have stiffened congressmen's
determination to cut President Eisenhower's spending
budget. f
Sen. Johnson of Texas, the Dem
ocratic leader, said that "never in
my public career have I seen such
strong demands (or economy in
government.
Johnson returned Sunday from
an Easter vacation spent in part
in touring Texas.
'Knowland Agrees
Sen. Knowland of California, the
Republican leader, said that in
talks with members who have re
turned from their home states he
has found "no dimunition in inter
est in the country in the desire
for economy."
Knowland made brief trips dur
ing the vacation period to Califor
nia and to Florida.
Johnson said he found "consid
erable concern" among the people
about business conditions. He said
the recent "bite" of income tax
payments has strengthened, de
mands for slashing Eisenhower's
$71,800,000,000 budget.
As chairman of an appropria
tions subcommittee which will be
gin hearings Tuesday on the State
Department's money bill, Johnson
said Eisenhower's plea for restora
tion of 47 million dollars cut off
that department's funds by the
House will be given "careful con
sideration."
Cold Water en Hopes
Johnson said the Senate will get
down to work on money bills in
May, with prospects that it .-may
act finally on a half a dozen of
the measures the House already
has cut.
The statements of the two party
leaders, made to reporters as the
Senate was convening, threw cold
water on the hopes of Eisenhow
ers advisers that Congress budg
et cutting ardor might have cooled
after 10 days of visits at home
with the voters.
