Inequalities in Tax
Payments Discussed;
Full Reports Sought
Inequalities in the payment of
personal property taxes were dis
cussed at length at a meeting in
the courthouse last night
Called by County Assessor C.
A. Myers, the meeting was at
tended by representatives of a
number of different business
erouDS. and some 30 or more
persons participated in the dis
cussions. They were asked to re
port on the meeting to their own
trade groups
The fact is, Myers explained,
that some merchants are not put
ting full values on their inven
tories when reporting them for
personal property tax purposes,
The result, he said, is that those
who do report 100 per cent of
their inventory value, are pay
ing more than their fair share
of the county's taxes. And some
thing has to be done about it,
he added.
Alarming Proportions
The situation, throughout the
state as well as in Jackson coun
ty, has risen to alarming propor
tions, Myers said. A recent spot
' check conducted by the state tax
commission revealed that only
about 45 per cent of personal
property tax returns give the full
and true value of the inventories,
and the lowest percentage shown
in the spot check was one which
listed only 4.4 per cent of the
inventory's value.
Simply in fairness to mer
chants who report their full in
ventories, Myers said, the situa
tion "cannot be tolerated."
The under-reporting of inven
tories arose out of the 1941 law
which permits merchants to re
port on an "honor system," but
it has been increasingly abused
in subsequent years, it was ex
plained. Myers said hat the law
requires him to maintain equali
zation, and that he will do so in
this case.
Equalisation Under Way
He said that work has been
done to equalize assessments of
lumber mills, packing houses,
hotels, motels, apartments, pro
fessional offices and restaurants,
but that equalization of inven
tories (considering them on pre
war values for tax purposes) can
not be accomplished until the
reporting situation is cleared up
As a result, Myers reported, he
has obtained from the county
court authority for sufficient
staff members to check the in
ventory returns of each tax state
Deficiency Bill
Given Approval
Washington (U.R) The House
Appropriations committee ap
proved Friday a deficiency mon
ey bill totaling $992,067,000,
about seven per cent under the
budget requests.
Part of the money will be
spent in the 1952 fiscal year
which ends next June 30, and
part will carry over into suc
ceeding fiscal years. '
The budget requests for a doz
en federal agencies totalled $1,
069,000,000. The committee will
cut this by $77,474,000.
The largest item in the bill
was $347,708,000 for pay in
creases voted by Congress last
year for federal employees. The
committee also approved an ad
ditional $285,800,000 for veter
ans benefits, including pensions,
national service life insurance,
and disability payments.
The Post Office department
was voted $161,578,000 for addi
tional costs of transporting mail,
and the Internal Revenue bureau
was marked for $20,000,000
more.
ARRESTED
Paul R. Scofield, 49, Lake ho
tel, was arrested Thursday at
about 5 p. m. after the theft of
7Vi pair of ladies' silk stock
ings was reported from the
Med ford Montgomery Ward
store, according to city police.
Officers said the man was car
rying the stockings when arrest
ed. Scofield was to be arraigned
in district court today, police
stated.
Congress May Tie Strings
To Foreign Aid; Cut Seen
Washington (U.R) Congress
will vote most of the foreign aid
funds sought by President Tru
man, but it may tie some strings
to the money to make sure Euro
pean allies pull together on re
armament. That was the consensus of the
views expressed by congression
al leaders of both parties Friday
in the wake of two strongly
worded presidential pleas for
$7,900,000,000 to keep the "mu
tual security program" rolling in
the coming 1953 fiscal year.
In a special message to the
House and Senate Thursday, and
in a radio and television broad
cast to the nation Thursday
night, Mr. Truman warned that
any economy cuts in his program
ment sent to him, and a full-scale
check of the books, or other sup
porting documents, of all stores
will be made
The meeting was "esssentially
an appeal to mercantile groups
for their cooperation, according
to Andrew Hawver, deputy as
sessor. 'This thing has mush
roomed, and this is a final ges
ture in an attempt to secure full
returns on inventories voluntari
ly," he said
Hawver explained that the of
fice has no desire to penalize or
acuse anyone, but he said "it is
our duty to enforce the law.
Want Cooperation
"If we can get cooperation
wonderful," he said, "but if not,
we'll have to carry out the pen
alty provisions of the law."
The assessor's books will close
in . May, Myers said, but until
then the office will be liberal in
accepting amendments to returns
already filed. About 10 per cent
of the expected number of re
turns still are not in, he said,
although March 2 was the dead
line. As a result of the meeting,
Myers said he would send a let
ter to each firm on th personal
property tax rolls, explaining the
fact that each would be checked
so that they will expect the depu
ty assessors when, they arrive.
Following this, when full in
ventory values are reported,
Myers will meet again with a
representative group to discuss
equalization, or "rolling back"
of tax values on inventory per
sonal property taxes, to offset
inflationary values of the past 10
years.
Morris To Testify
In Oil Shipments
Made for Russia
Washington (U.R) Sen
ate investigators Friday called
corruption hunter Newbold Mor
ris to testify next week on ship
ments of oil for Russia by a
Chinese-financed firm represent-
cu kjy iuuiiu jaw uuiLd ..
Chairman Clyde R. Hoey (D.,
N.C) said Morris will testify,
"probably" on Tuesday, before
the Senate's permanent investi
gating committee.
Approval Believed
Hoey made the announcement
as David B. Jarvis, New York
shipping agent who operated the
tankers for the Chinese-backed
firm, said he felt that Naval
intelligence "rather approved"
the oil shipments, made in 1949.
Jarvis testified that he also
had a verbal okay from the State
department. He said he did not
know that, as the committee
brought out Thursday, Secretary
of Defense Louis Johnson was
protesting strongly to the Mari
time commission against the
trade.
Six Trips Made
Two tankers, the St. Christo
pher and Kettleman Hills, made
six oil-carrying trips in 1949 and
early 1950. They transported oil
from Constanza in Rumania to
Communist Chinese ports.
The tankers were owned by
United Tanker corporation,' a
Chinese-financed American com
pany represented by Morris' law
firm.
Balmy Temperatures
Slated for Week-End
By UNITED PRESS
The weatherman Friday prom
ised sunshine and balmy temper
atures for the Pacific Northwest
during the week-end. .
Forecasters said some cloudi
ness could be expected in south
eastern Oregon but no rain was
in prospect for either Oregon or
Washington through Sunday.
Temperatures in western por
tions of the two states were ex

would be dangerous" and might
undermine "our chances for
avoiding another world war."
There was general agreement
in Congress, however, that some
cuts will be made. A few law
makers spoke of cutting the re
quest in half, but the figure most
often mentioned was a reduction
of $1,000,000,000.
Among those who predicted
that the program will be cut
but not crippled were Chair
man James P. Richards, D-S.C,
of the House Foreign Affairs
committee and Tom Connally, D

lican Leader Styles Bridges, N.

Powers Fighting
In Korea Would
Not Be Included
Reds Probably
Alarmed by Reports
Panmunjom (U.R) The
Communists moved Friday to
place Red China beyond the pos
sibility of a naval blockade or
invasion from Formosa by pro
posing to ban naval blockades
the world over among the pow
ers now fighting in Korea.
Chinese staff officer Col. Pu
Shan proposed in truce super
vision talks that all references
to Korea be dropped from the already-approved
armistice clause
forbidding blockades.
Alarm Believed '
It was believed the Reds have
probably been alarmed by re
cent press reports from Wash
ington that the United States
was considering military action
against the mainland of China
if the, truce talks fail or if the
Reds violate the armistice agree
ment. . .
Allied staff officers wrote off
the Communist proposal as hav
ing no significance other than to
stall the truce talks still fur
ther.
Meanwhile, Vice-Adm. C
Turner Joy, chief Allied staff
officer, returned from Tokyo
after conferring with Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway, presumably
about the progress of the truce
talks.
Playing Waiting Game
Since Joy has been in Tokyo
the Communists have played
what seems to be a waiting
game. Presumably, they hope
Joy will be authorized to alter
the UN opposition to having
Russia as a "neutral" truce su
pervisor and to voluntary repa
triation of prisoners.
In an adjoining tent, Commu
nist delegates agreed to a Unit
ed Nations proposal for volun
tary repatriation of civilian for
eign nationals held by each
side. But they still insisted on
forced repatriation of war pris
ers.
Col. Don O. Darrow, UN rep
resentative in the truce supervi
sion talks, told newsmen he did
not Jtnow , whether the Reds,
would try to make a major is
sue" out of their blockade pro
posal,' which obviously was un
acceptable to the Allies.
Strike Situation
Mostly 'Unchanged'
A hearing in circuit court on
continuance of a temporary re
straining order sought by Single
ton Milling company was re
sumed this afternoon after a noon
.recess. The company asks that
Local 3030, Lumber and Sawmill
Workers unicn, AFL, be com
pelled to cease picketing the
firm's plant in Central Point.
The hearing, which is being
conducted by Judge O. J. Mil
lard, Grants Pass, is expected to
be continued tomorrow. Judge
Millard has also been assigned to
hold a hearing on a permanent
injunction sought by the firm,
Elsewhere, the strike situation
was mostly "unchanged." At
Jackson Creek Lumber company,
a crew passed picket lines for
the second day to operate the
plant. Gene Tedrick, business
manager of Local 3030, said 13
men passed picket lines this
morning by union count.
. At the Central Point plant of
the Southern Oregon Planing
mm, oniciais said this morning
that employees have been noti
fied by registered mail that the
plant will resume operations
Monday. The situation at both
Jackson .Creek Lumber and

Deputy Mistaken
As Robber Slain;
Two Others Hurt
Seattle U.R) A partially-deaf
62 - year - old dishwasher shot
down a deputy, sheriff and
wounded two other officers mis
takenly here Friday when they
were summoned to the Ingle
wood golf course clubhouse to
investigate a $10,000 holdup by
four armed men.
Ralph Bishop, 62, the dish
washer at the clubhouse, told
Sheriff Harland Calahan, "I
thought they were stickup men
I guess and I fired."
Dead was Deputy Norman
Silkworth, 26. Wounded were
Deputies William Randecker, 27,
and Claude Dodd, 43. Both were
expected to recover.
The weird shooting took place
when the officers received an ur
gent call from the club's night
watchman who said four armed
men had just robbed the club's
safe.
When the three officers arriv
ed they opened the door and
Bishop began shooting.
Randecker said he heard Dodd
yell three times, "this is the po
lice." However Bishop, who
wears a hearing aid, said he did
not hear what they said ;
'T thought they were the stick-
up men. One looked like an offi
cer, but I didnt' know. I fired at
him. Then another fellow, Silk
worth, ran through the doorway
and I shot at him. He doubled
over and dropped to the floor."
Officers estimated Bishop had
fired 11 to 15 shots at the depu
ties. Bishop said he and two nicht
watchmen, Lloyd Cannon Jr., 19,
and Cyrus T. Dorsey, were tied
up by four armed men after one
man came to the door and said
he had car trouble. "When we
went to give help, three others
jumped from the shrubbery and
held guns on us. They tied us up
and rifled the safe," Bishop said
J. P, Berron, Inglewood Coun
try club president, said the hold
up men got away with about
$10,000 from the safe.
Bishop said he went upstairs
to his living quarters at the club
house and got his gun, a .45 cali
ber pistol, "and then I waited,'
he told officers. When the three
men, the sheriff's deputies, bolt
ed through the front door
thought they were the robbers
and I started shooting."
No charges have been placed
against Bishop but Calahan said
there would be a thorough inves
tigation and questioning.
Masked Pair Pulls
$100,000 Robbery
Quonset Point, R. I. (U.R)
Two Halloween-masked gunmen
robbed a credit union manager
of $100,000 cash at the U. S.
Naval air base here Friday and
a few hours later two men were
seized for questioning as they
drove through Cranston.
The robbery, largest in New
England since the $1,219,000
Brink's, Inc., holdup and sec
ond looting of the credit union
within a year, was so swiftly ex
ecuted the bandits drove past
two armed sentries without a

r52 Critical Year
In Security Plans
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Truman told Congress Fri
day that 1952 may be the "crit
ical" year in Western Europe's
buildup against Communism.
In his first report to Congress
on the mutual security program,
the president said Europe has
made "marked" and "steady'
progress in building "positions
of strength" against the threat
of Communism. But he added
Program for Peace
'For the nations of Western
Europe, the year 1952 may well
be the critical time in the de
fense buildup, bridging the peri
od between extreme vulnerabil
ity to Soviet attack and effec
tive preparedness."
Mr. Truman, in . a letter send
ing the report to Congress, de
scribed -mutual security as
"program for peace" despite the
large amounts spent on troops
and arms. '
"Its ultimate success will
come when the troops and weap
ons are no longer needed, and
the monies now required for de
fense can be used to raise the
living standards of our own and
other nations who are truly de
voted to peace."
The mutual security program,
administered by W. Averell Har-
riman, was set up by Congress
last year to coordinate all forms
of U. S. foreign aid. The report
reviewed foreign aid activities
from the pre-Marshall plan days
to the current buildup of mili
tary strength under the North
Atlantic Treaty organization.

Three More County Republicans
File Major Office Candidacies
Paul . Rynning, long - lime
county engineer, today filed
for reelection in a surprise
move which few persons knew
was necessary.
He revealed today that he,
and a number of other county
officials and employees "re
signed" last December and
were reappointed in a move re
quired by technicalities of the
state retirement act.
The county court never
made public announcement of
the "resignations" nor reap
pointments, and few people
outside the courthouse, it ap
peared today, knew that it had
occurred.
It so happens that Ryn
ning's job is the only one af
fected by the resignation tech
nicality which requires reelec
tion. Among others covered
are the county clerk, treasur
er and .assessor, whose terms
expired anyway.
Those who knew the situa

rather than in 1954 as listed
by the official Oregon Blue
Book.
