Measures in Oregon Leg is la t u re
Salem U.R) Oregon's lone
brewery protested here a pro
posed increase in the state tax
on malt beverage and labor or
ganizations said the new tax
would amount to "a sales tax on
the working man's drink."
The House committee heard
more than an hour of testimony,
most of it opposed to House bill
220 which would increase the
state tax from $1.30 to $3.10 per
barrel of beer. The measure was
introduced by Rep. Orval Eaton
(R.-Astoria) and Sen. John Houn
sell (R.-Hood River).
But George Paulson, repre
senting the Oregon Brewers In
stitute, said brewers now pay 55
cents out of every dollar of in
come in taxes. An increase in
the Oregon tax, coupled with
the increase of the federal tax
from $5 to $9 per barrel, would
price beer out of the market, he
said, adding that 90 per cent of
the sales of beer are to working
people.
- Frederick Torp, an executive
of the Blitz Weinhard brewery
In Portland, said an increase
would put his firm at a compe
titive disadvantage with brewers
in neighboring states. Only a
small proportion of the revenue
that would be derived from the
tax would go into the general
fund to ease the state's financial
plight, he said. ,
Salem U.R)R. H. Baldock,
state highway engineer, said
here that a proposed memorial
to Congress asking that U.S.
highway 20 in Oregon be made
part of the planned federal
highway program was futile
The measure was tabled by the
House Highways committee.
Baldock pointed out that
Highway 30 and Highway 99 al
ready have been made part of
the federal net of interregional
highways and that the mileage
limit in the federal program al
ready has been reached.
The committee also tabled a
bill regarding roadside rubbish
when it discovered a law already
on the books prohibits tossing
refuse on highway rights-of-way.
But members agreed there must
be flaws in the enforcement pro
cedure, because Oregon high
ways are invariably littered with
rubbish. :-
The committee gave its appro
val to a bill that would permit

As Truck Goes Over Bank
;;A- flat bed two-ton truck
owned by. Davis Transfer and
Storage . company was exten
sively damaged Thursday when
it went over the bank about a
mile east from Shady Cove on
Crater Lake Highway.
- The truck, loaded with drums
and cartons of petroleum prod
ucts was driven by Claude All
sup, Central Point, who stepped
from, the struck as it struck a
soft shoulder and before it went
off the road bed.
IThe truck rolled over several
times. It was . recovered . and
brought to. Medford late yesterday.;-
laned highways and on one-way
city streets of more than one
lane. Baldock said many per
sons have violated the law in
ignorance that it existed.
Salem U.R) Faced with
growing complaints over pro
posed reclassification and salary
schedules for state employees
contained in the Barrington re
port, members of the ways and
means subcommittee on salaries
has ordered a compilation of
classification and salary rates for
every state employee submitted
to department heads.
The department head in turn
will show the schedules to em
ployees of his department, then
each employee will be given anj
opportunity to express his or
her views to the subcommittee
Salem U.R) The House ap
proved unanimously a bill pro
hibiting publication of illustra
tive material in the Voters'
pamphlet other than a picture
of the candidate. It would pre
vent a repetition of last year's
appearance in the pamphlet of
a map of Oregon and a picture
of Sacajawea.
Salem U.R) The House has
passed and sent to the Senate a
bill ; that would put a 5 p.m.
deadline on the filing of candi
dacies in the secretary of state's
office. It would eliminate the
present postmark deadline
which permits mailed filings to
trickle into the secretary of
state's office several days past
the deadline.

Back Stairs: Ike Catches Cold in South
By MERRIMAN SMITH l beats the simple remedy of sil-
United Press White House Writer
-Washington U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
Speaking of White House
colds the late President Roose
velt often was bothered by head
colds. Sometimes, to recuperate,
FDR would go south.
It worked the reverse for Mr.
Eisenhower. He got his cold in
the South while chasing elu
sive quali on the Georgia estate
of Treasury Secretary George
M. Humphrey.
Mr. Truman was bothered one
winter by recurrent colds and
his physician, Maj. Gen. Wallace
H. Graham, ordered ultra-violet
lamps installed around the ceil
ing of the President's office.
The theory was that the germ
killing lamps would offset the
sniffles of visitors to the Presi
dent's office and' thus keep the
Chief Executive from the same
ailment. Didn't work, however.
Mr. Truman continued to catch
an occasional cold.
Hoarseness seemed to be the
most annoying effect of Mr.
Eisenhower's cold this week.
Every White House doctor
has had his particular nostrum
for hoarseness, but no one has
come up with anything that
ence. A complete Holiday from
talking seems to clear up hoarse
ness faster than any drug, but
such a remedy is virtually im
possible for a modern president.
For example, on , one of his
"hoarse" days this week Mr.
Eisenhower had to film and re
cord a speech for the Red Cross
and meet with three sizable del
egations, to each of which he
had to address a few impromptu
remarks.
The President sometimes takes
as little as 20 minutes for. lunch
only rarely as much . as an
hour. This probably doesn't
make his doctors any too happy.
On a day when , his lunch is
particularly brief, it doesn't
mean that he bolted his food, but
that he ate lightly and had a lot
of work waiting for him back
at his office desk.
He's definitely not the after
lunch napper as : Mr. Truman
was. It took a matter of earth
shaking importance to keep the
ex-President from a long daily
snooze after his midday meal.'
The Eisenhowers are starting
to move some of their furniture
toward the farmhouse at Get
tysburg, Pa. . i
This means that Gettysburg 1
will be a stronger and stronger
week end magnet for the Chief
Executive and his wife, even
though they'll still have to spend
their nights at Camp David, Md.,
until the furnishing are more
complete. .
For a time, it appeared , that
Mr. Eisenhower would spend
several more week ends in Au
gusta, but it now begins to look
more and more like those week
ends will be devoted to Gettysburg.
