Senators Up Fmids , To Cities ' Liquor Raise OKd; Inheritance Tax Lift Voted By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr. V Associated Press Writer ' The Oregon House of Representatives eave 36- 22 tentative approval Tuesday to its Taxation Committee's bill to in - crease inheritance taxes. The vole was the same by which the House approved late ' Monday the personal income tax Jaw changes. But while the House was seek ing to boost the inheritance levies to add 2 million dollars to the state general fund during the next i biennium, the Senate voted unan ' " lmously to talte $2,560,000 out ot the state fund and gave it to the i cities, i Action on Report " The House action was on committee report. The bill, which will go to the Senate, taxes insur ance proceeds of more than $60,000, increases the inheritance tax rates, and levies a tax on properly worth more than $25,000 that is held in common by a married couple when the husband . or wife dies. The Senate measure, which goes to the House, triples the ; per cent share of liquor profits , that is given to cities. Before the final vote was taken, the Senate defeated 21 to 9 a motion to change the cities' share to 20 per cent, and then Beat 16-4 a move to make it 10 per cent. As the bill now stands, the cities' share would be 15 per cent, ,'' or triple the $672,000 annual amount they now get. i Giving of the money to the cities might pose a problem for the :. Joint Wavs and Means Commit- j tee, which is struggling hard to hold down the state budget. V Might Lead to Property Tax Sen. Warren Gill (R). Lebanon, t argued that the bill would be a great help to money-short cities, and he said it would provide some measure of property tax relief. But Sen. Walter J.

The Senate also sent to the House a bill to give the Unem ployment Compensation and In dustrial Accident agencies separ- ate three-member commissions. ' The same commission now runs . both of them. t . . The personal income tax meas ure appears headed for trouble in the evenly-split Senate, although some Republicans conceded it Would be approved. Some Senate Republicans will try to get a sales tax. but they admitted they won't have the un animous support of other Senate Republicans. The Senate Taxation Committee plans to begin meetings Thursday '". to consider the House tax pro gram.

Navy Cash Said Used For Bribe 18,591 Payment to Labor Leader Is Told Probers WASHINGTON (AP)- Senate rackets investiga tors prodded the Navy Tuesday ior jts explanation of testimony that tax mon ey was used witn tne wavy s knowledge for "extortionate pay ments or bribes" to a labor leader. Earl P. Bettendorf. who manu factures warehouse pallets at Ash- down. Ark., and Sandston, Va., told of the payments Monday at a hearing before the special Sen ate committee looking into rackets in the labor-management field. He said the Navy supplied the money $18,591.30 "So the union could be paid oil. To Get Trucks Inside Bettendorf said he had to make the payments to Joseph McHugh, business agent of the ScrantonJ fa., Teamsters union local, to gei his delivery trucks into the gov ernment's Signal Corps depot at Tobyhanna, Pa. Variously, he called the pay ments "bribes," then denied they were bribes. Tuesday Sen.

Little Change Predicted for School Budget In all probability the Salem School District budget will go to the people for approval or rejec tion at a special election May 24 substantially as set up. This prediction, made before the citizens committee meeting at 7:30 Tuesday night, is based on the fact that a substantial portion of the $395,089 increase is due to the ne cessity of hiring approximately 36 additional teachers and the neces sity of setting up an item of $157, 435 as estimated delinquency on the 1957-58 tax levy. Nevertheless, members of the committee are scheduled to peruse the budget, page by page, in an effort to whittle off anything they believe can be eliminated at this time. It would be necessary to trim some $58,000 off the budget to re duce the load by a single mill. Of the total of $3,755,672 estimat ed to cover the cost of operations during the 1957-58 fiscal year, $2, 773,217 covers the general fund $348,000 represents the 6-mill serial construction fund and $634,455 takes care of servicing the bonded indebtedness. Total cost of instruction is placed at $3,221,023 or an increase of $282,579. Of the total, $2,590,523 is earmarked as teachers' salaries. This item is up $199,234 over the preceding fiscal year.

AEC to Fire 2 Test Blasts From Balloons WASHINGTON (UP) The Atomic Energy Commission an nounced v today that at least two of the bigger . explosions in this sprint's v weapons, -.testa -will be detonated from'' captive' balloons high over the Nevada desert. The explosions will yield vio lence greater than that of 20,000 tons of .TNT, the AEC said. The bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in August, 1945, was equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT. The Nevada tests start May 15 and will continue through the summer. The AEC said newsmen and about 60 civil defense offi cials will be permitted to witness nine of the shots. No "uncleared persons" will be permitted to ob serve the others. Of the nine "public" explosions six will be under 20,000 tons of TNT in energy yield and three will be above. All of the smaller weapons and one of the larger will be exploded from steel tow ers. The AEC also is studying the feasibility of detonating some shots of this year's Nevada se ries in tunnels dug in the rock under the proving ground.

Moscow had accused the west ern powers of "outright foreign interference" in the Middle East, saying the responsibility for this intervention rested "above all on the United States of America." Accuses Soviet To this State Department Press Officer Lincoln White retorted: There has indeed been for eign intervention in that country (Jordan), namely as King Hussein said on April 24 the intervention of international Communism." In response to questions. White emphasized that the U.S. regards the Soviet Union as the fountain- head of international Communism. A few hours earlier King Hus sein denied to a news conference in Amman that the U.S. is inter fering in Jordan's internal af fairs. ' . ..I'iThis-statement- has no basis whatsoever,1' he said. "Everything mat toon place in Jordan was our own Internal affair." Hussein accepted an American offer of 10 million dollars worth of economic aid providing no strings were attached.
