fYsg6 JWJecHdH I , Salem", D'ref off, Thurs'day, May ?, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAE DIFFER ON PULLOUT Beck to Face New Quizzing WithoutDuff By G. MILTON KEIXV WASHINGTON W Teamster President Dave Beck faces a new round of questioning by Senate investigators next week without the legal services of former Sen. James H. Duff of Pennsylvania Chairman McClellan (D-Ark.) announced lost night he wai sum moned Beck to appear May 8 for another public hearing before the special Senate committee investi gating alleged racketeering in la bor unions and industry. McClel lan said the group would receive "further . derogatory evidence" against the Teamster boss. Beck and Duff agreed they had parted company. But they dillcred on what caused this. Duff .said he had "withdrawn" from Beck's employ. Beck said that he was dropping Duff and his law firm because the former COP senator would, not appear with him at the new' hearing next week. Arthur D, Condon, an associate of Duff, sat at Beck's elbow when the Teamster chief last was be fore the committee March 27. At that time, Beck repeatedly Invoked the Fifth Amendment, pleading it might tend to incrimi nate him if h& testified whether he had misappropriated some $320,000 of union funds for his per sonal use. Beck noted he was the subject of an income tax probe. The Teamster chief -irritated some members of the committee by referring again and again to Duff as his legal adviser, The senators said they were not Im pressed. When Beck hired Duff before the March hearing, Duff said he would not appear with the team ster president because the inquiry was based on information gath ered in part while Duff still was in the Senate. He was defeated for reflection last year. Last night, Beck Issued a state ment saying that Duff would not appear with him at the hearing next week and that "this has ne cessitated my disassociating 'Sen. Duff and his law firm from rep resenting me." Earlier, Duff told a newsman his law firm had "withdraw" from Beck's case. He declined to explain the reason, but he said "there might be something" to a statement by Condon that the work Duff "undertook for Beck had been completed.

While offering no specific pro posals for Improving farm aid programs, Benson grve a word of praise to those provisions in present lows which give him wide leeway in setting price supports on a large number of commodi ties. The Cabinet officer set forth these views In a letter to Chair man Ellcndcr (D-La) of the Sen ate Agriculture Committee. He said they were made in response to an Invitation from Ellcndcr that he "consider some of the im portant problems arising under existing price support legislation. . Benson said a "technological explosion" occurring on Ameri can farms is making obsolelo the present control and price support programs as tney pertain to the designated basic" crops cotton, corn, wheat, rice, peanuts and to bacco. Production per farm worker has doubled in the last 15 years," Benson said. "This creates a new dimension In farm policy and makes it virtually impossible to curtail agricultural output with Ihe type of controls acceptable in our society." Just what action Congress may tako In response to Benson's sug gestion for "remedial" legislation was not clear. However, the sec retary had indicated previously that Ihe administration would not press for any major new pro grams this session. Rather, he said, it wanted to acquaint Con gress with the situation now so that the legislators might map plans for possible action next year.

J New Disaster Area Declared In Texas Flood 1,000 Residents Stand By to Evacuate; 16 Deaths Total DALLAS A new - disaster area was declared on the lower Sabine as the flooding river surged downstream at record heights today, threatening to in undate for the second' time in four years, the small community of ueweyvinc. The 1,000 residents of the New ton County town, 10 miles north of Orange, Tex., were standing by to evacuate if necessary. The town was nit by a flood in 1953. Heavy cloudbursts soaked the Trinity Kiver watershed in north central Texas, causing flash floods in the Dallas area. A new flood warning was Issued for the Trinity as i( began a rapid rise. The rains spread over much of the eastern half of the state in varied amounts, but except for the Sabine and Trinity, the flood threat was casing along other riv ers, dui water was still high. - On the upper Sabine, several hundred oil wells in the petrole um-ncn Uladcwater area were flooded and shut down as high water crept out around the south western edge of town. Officials said, however, they thought the peak crest was passed. Possibly two drownings were blamed on ' high waters, making a total of at least 16 since the heavy rains began causing flood ing in Texas two weeks ago. Delmer Lee Luke, 17, Burk- burnctt, and his horse drowned while swimming in rain-swollen Paradise Creek near Vernon. Ronnie Wyatt. 16. Loniivlew. disappeared while fishing in flood waters of the.

(AP Wirephoto) Senate Defeats Utility Tax, Hike, Reduction on Homes By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. Associated Press Writer An effort to double the property taxes of utilities and to give a $2,000 exemption for homesteads went down to a 22-8 defeat in the Oregon Senate Wednesday. While the Senate was arguing long and loud on the subject, the House, after a lengthy debate of its own, sent back to its Educa tion Committee by a 30-27 vote the key district bill to redis tribute basic school aid to local districts. Supporting the higher utility tax and the exemption on homes oc cupied by their owners were eight Democrats. Opposing it were IS Republicans and seven Democrats. Sen. Dan Dimick (D), Roscburg, led the fight for the bill. He ar gued it was needed because - the 1955 Legislature gave utilities a "windfall by cutting their prop erly taxes. i Before that, he said, utilities were taxed at double the rate of other classes of property, but the 1955 session cut the ratio so that It would equal other classes. Dimick also argued that homes must have relief. The opposition was headed by Sen. Lee Ohmart (R), Snlcm, who feared that the bill would deprive the state of funds in order to bene fit local governments. He said the homestead exemp tion would result In tax increases on business property, and keep business from locating in Oregon. ' "This bill," he said, "would open up a Pandora's Box that would lead to demands that taxes be changed on other classes of property. Voting for the bill were Sens. Bradv. Chapman. Dimick, Gleas- on, Hopkins, Musa, Pearson and Sweetland. Sending the key district bill back to committee was accomp- 1 shed by supporters of the origi nal key district bill, which would hurt Portland and Eastern Ore gon districts badly. It had passed the Senate In this original form The House Education Committee had compromised the bill so that nobody would get hurt very mucn HtUi1,-);H NOW SHOWING AT YOUR SALEM'S FINEST ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS Now the committee has to do some more work on this hot is sue. The House-passed bill to revise personal income taxes was sent to the Senate Taxation Commit tee, which will begin to work on it Friday. But Sen. Walter J. Pearson (D), Portland, chairman of the committee, announced that no public hearings would be held on it. The Senate passed and sent to the House a bill appropriating $154,078 to match federal funds that will be given to county and regional libraries. The Senate completed legislative action on two bills that would provide $250,000 to buy property in the Capitol' area for future state buildings, and to extend the Body of Child FoiindiiiY ird At North Bend NORTH BEND, Ore.
