Now Applied Science
Los Angeles U.R) The art of

years handed down from father
to son, has been turned into an
applied science at the University
of California at Los Angeles.
The UCLA course in prosthet
ics has been organized to collect
data on the best standard prac
tices in developing artificial
arms, the type of limbs to pre
scribe, and methods of training
the amputee.
Since the start of the study
unit some 42 cases have been ex
amined under the leadership of
Dr. Craig L. Taylor, professor of

Columbia Utilities
Company Reports
Modernization Jobs
The Eagle Point exchange of
the Columbia Utilities company
has been converted to common
battery operation, it was an
nounced today by D. O. Hood,
president. He said that the move
is in preparation for conversion
to dial phones there.
When Eagle Point is changed
to dials, it will mean that the
entire facilities of the company
are of modern design and con
struction. With the change to
common batteries, Hood said, the
last of the company's magneto,
or hand crank, phones has been
taken out.
Expects Equipment
Hood said he expects to be
able to obtain equipment for dial
phones at Eagle Point and Camp
White this year, or early next
year. Heavy demands by defense
industries have so far prevented
manufacturers from filling new
orders for commercial operators.
On Saturday the utilities com
pany cut over to dial operation
at Merril, and the week before
the Oakridge exchange was con
verted to dial.
Work on construction of new;
copper toll circuits between
Reese Creek and Shady Cove, to
replace temporary iron wire fa
cilities in that section, will gel
under way next week and are
expected to be completed by
May 1. The company is also
making progress on a major ca
ble installation in the Shady
Cove exchange area ta replace
temporary field wire facilities
which had been necessary to
meet the rapid growth in that
community at the time the dial
exchange was installed, Hood
said.
Installation of the dial switch
ing equipment at the company's
new Butte Falls exchange is now
practically complete. Installation
of new dial telephone instru
ments will begin soon, and the
exchange is expected to be in
operation by early spring.
Demands for service continue
heavy, Hood added, and the com
pany is installing new subscriber
stations as rapidly as facilities
can be extended, which involves
much new construction since ex
isting line facilities are more or
less filled and overcrowded.
Mercy Flights Plane
Carries 48th Patient
Mercy Flights air ambulance
service carried its 49th patient
Sunday, when it was called to
Gold Beach to take Robert Mil
ler, 60, to a Portland hospital
for treatment of a spine condi
tion. George Milligan piloted the
twin-engined Cessna ambulance
and Bud Timmons was co-pilot.
The plane left here at 4:45 p. m.,
arriving in Gold Beach just
before dark. The flight to Port
land was made "on top" over
a heavy overcast.
The plane returned here
about 9:30 p. m.
Death of former
Resident Learned
Word was received here today
of the death of Elizabeth Mc
Kenzie Tupper. Mrs. Tupper was
the former Elizabeth Buck, who
was employed on newspapers
in Medford for a number of
years some time ago.
She died at the Coachella Val
ley hospital in Indio, Cal., ac
cording to a letter from her
sister, Mrs. Guy M. Moore, Nys
sa, Ore., who also is a former

Rebellion on Taxes
Said Stirring; Some
States Ease Levies
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington U.R) There is
something mighty like a tax re
bellion stirring in this country.
Public unhappiness under the
added burden of federal income
tax levies imposed in 1950 and
1951 is beginning to make an
impression in Congress.
But the federal government is
relatively remote from the peo
ple who support it. On a matter
like taxes, the great federal bu
reaucracy is slow to get the
word. State governments are
simpler and a lot closer to the
voters.
Some States Ease Levies
State governments are getting
the word with considerable em
phasis. A United Press check
over the week-end showed that
at least 13 states recently have
eased income or other tax levies
or have plans to do so. Maryland
and Virginia, the states between
which lies the national capital,
lead the parade.
Maryland has just clipped state
income taxes by 15 per cent. Vir-
X-Ray Retake Unit
Still Operating
The tuberculosis chest x-ray
"retake unit is still operating
here, the County Public Health
office said today. It is located on
the ground floor of the court
house Retakes of chest x-rays of per
sons whose smaller x-ray pic
tures were "questionable" have
been taken since the mass sur
vey was completed in January.
The unit will continue to oper
ate here this week.
The health office report said
that a number of cards giving
results of the x-ray survey have
been turned over to the office
when the post office found they
could not be delivered because
of wrong addresses or people
having moved.
Those who had chest x-rays
but who have not received their
reports were urged to call at the
office to see if their cards are
there. Most of the returns are
negative, it was said.
Educational Consultant
Making Visit in County
Miss Marjorie W. Pringer, a
consultant to the state depart
ment of education on problems
of educating crippled children,
has been visiting in Jackson
county for several days, it was
announced by the county school
superintendent's office today.
Miss Pringer has consulted
with school heads with regard to
home education of crippled chil
dren and was to have addressed
a meeting of elementary school
principals this afternoon.

Wtack
ginia has a treat-the-taxpayers-right
law which provided a 20
per cent income tax cut on 1950
income and may reduce it some
more this year and, even, there
after. Other States Listed
The other states which have
eased taxes or whose officials
plan to do so are: Alabama, Ar
kansas, Georgia, Kansas, Louisi
ana, Mississippi, Missouri, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Utah
and Wisconsin. Not all the re
ductions were on income. But
they all kept dollars in the tax
payers' pockets which otherwise
would have been spent by gov
ernment. The Virginia law which has ac
complished so much is an auto
matic proposition. A simple, mi
nus detail explanation of the
Virginia act is that when reve
nue exceeds budgeted expecta
tions taxes are reduced.
Refunds Possible
The state government receives
and may spend the sum it pro
posed to raise by taxation. But if
the weary taxpayers actually
pay more than that into the state
treasury, the state must give it
back to the taxpayers.
Federal officials frequently are
way off in their tax estimates. As
often as not their, mistake is to
underestimate by hundreds of
millions what tax proceeds will
be. When that happens in the
federal government, the officials
have just that much more money
to spend and they spend it
Even when tax proceeds ex
ceed treasury estimates there
usually is a deficit and still more
money must be borrowed to pay
the government bills. Virginia,
of course, has a balanced budget.
The name of the state legisla
tor who sponsored the Virginia
tax act is Byrd Harry F. Byrd
Jr. He comss naturally by his in
terest in the taxpayer. His father
is Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D.-Va.,
who has been trying for years to
get a break for the payers of
federal income tax.
