ceived an unexpected $5,000,
; 000,000 "windfall" in the 1954
tax revision program.

Zelenko has offered a bill to

Silverton Farmer
Faces First Degree
Murder Charges
Salem (U.R) Casper Oveross
Silverton carpenter and part-
time farmer, will go before the
Marion county grand jury Mon
day on a charge of first degree
murder in connection with the
slaying of his one-time neighbor,
Ervin O. Kaser, Silverton hop
farmer, Feb. 17.
Surprise Move
Marion County District At
torney Kenneth JBrown an-
. nounced the surprise legal move
Saturday. It had been expected
that the next step in the case
would be a preliminary hearing
next Wednesday.
The calling of the grand jury
ior 9:30 a.m. was made over
; vigorous objections of Bruce
Williams, Salem attorney for
Oveross; in the District Court
of Judge Edward O. Stafter Jr.
late Friday. ,
Rap Mot ..
Williams called the move "an
attempt to deprive my client of
the right to a preliminary hear
ing in the hope of gaining a
: grand jury indictment on the
charge."
Brown denied this and said he
. was only trying to speed justice.
Oveross is in Marion county
jail charged with killing Kaser,
by firing rifle bullets at him
while Kaser sat in his car just
outside his Silverton area home.

: dismissal after hearing the case

they knew of no basis for the
figure estimated by . Zelenko
But they said the treasury is
concerned that its revenue loss
from the provision may run con
siderably higher than the $47,'
000,000 it had anticipated.
Could Deduct Reserves
The provision permits most
business firms to deduct for tax
purposes some of the funds put
in reserve to cover future op
erating expenses. For instance,
firms could deduct reserves for
vacation time earned by em
ployees but not yet taken.
The revision was requested
by the administration at the
urging of accountants and some
business men. They, said it
vould simplify matters by help
ing to put bookkeeping for tax
purposes and for business pur
poses on the same basis.
Freeing of Region's
Wheat Surplus Sought
Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul' Pat
terson said Saturday he had
asked State Agriculture Direc
tor J. F. Short to urge the Na
tional . Agricultural Advisory
Commission to consider freeing
surplus Northwest wheat on a
price basis that will make it
available for livestock and poul
try feeding.
The governor said any move
that will improve the feed
ration for Oregon livestock and
poultry producers would im
prove the economy of the entire
region by bolstering the number
of dairy cattle and poultry.
Short has pointed out that
wheat is now priced out of the
feed market by the level of gov
ernment support and that corn
is being shipped in for feed use
at a ratio of six to one over local
wheat usage.

fired the shotgun blast that kil
led Miller after a party near

derson "has instructed me to
ask you to either have him sen

As We Live
Need For Scapegoat
It is always, easy, when some
thing goes wrong, to pass the
buck to someone else or to
claim that it
was the fault
of the thing
you were
working with.
This frees you
of all sense of
r e sponsibility
for the mis
take or the
&m9mh-ria poor quality
Dr. Huxlock of work done.
Vv niie tnis may give you
temporary satisfaction, sooner
or later you will be forced to
realize that part of the blame
was yours. Then you will begin
to feel guilty or inadequate, or
both.
Instead of being a buck
passer, it is better to face things
realistically and recognize from
the first where the responsibil
ity lies. In the long run you will
feel better about the matter,
even though you may feel
guilty or disappointed at first.
First of all, recognize that no
one can be perfect, that everyone
makes mistakes and that a lot
can be learned from mistakes.
A person who feels guilty when
he falls short of perfection has
an unhealthy attitude, perhaps
the result of too-high parental
expectations and criticism in
childhood.
Must Change Altitude
This attitude must be changed
before a person can make any
headway in taking the blame.
Always remember that people
are less likely to criticize or
blame if you frankly admit that
you were at fault than .if you
try to shift the blame to some
one else.
The second step in overcom
ing the buck-passing tendency is
to avoid tackling something you
are incapable of domg or that
you have not prepared yourself
to do. Recognize your limita
tions, and ask for help or advice
instead of plunging into some
thing that is doomed to failure
from the start. No one expects
you to be able to do everything
well. If you try to deceive your
self into believing you can do
this, you will have no one to
blame but yourself if you make
a failure of it.

Size of Wardrobe: "Does a

big wardrobe as most high
school girls insist upon?"
(A) Social life in high school
today is such that a girl must
have a fairly large wardrobe if
she is to fit in. However, a large
wardrobe - need not be too ex
pensive. Most girls learn to
make some of their clothes. Old
clothes can be changed and re
modeled and new ones bought
at sales. For a few years in a
young girl's life, a big wardrobe
goes a long way toward helping
her to make good adjustments
to school and people, and to
ward being happy.

Washington U.R) American
officials said Saturday that the
Soviet swing from consumer to
heavy industry may seriously
lower Russian morale and mean
less food on the Russian dining
table. .
- Satellite peoples may be even
more seriously affected because
many of them have in the past
known much higher living stan
dards than the Russians, offici
als added. . .. :
The Soviet hierarchy made
an effort after Stalin's death to
give the Russian people - more
food clothes and other items
than they previously received.
But the - government recently
abandoned this softer line and
said it would place heavier em
phasis once again on heavy " in
dustry the -kind needed for
further industrialization and
support of a growing military
machine.
See Drop In Food Supply
This poses a question of what
will happen to already lagging
agricultural production. If trac
tor and light industry produc
tion is curtailed in an effort to
get more heavy production, it
seems likely the Soviet Union
will produce still less food.
A U. S. government report
recently said the Soviet Union
is already "critically short of
foodstuff."
The U. S. Information agency
said Russia had less grain per
person last year than it had in
1926. The agency admitted that
Soviet grain production has
been increasing slightly but said
the increase has not been
enough to keep pace with the
growing population.

Portland (U.R) Vice-squad

The raids were planned in ad

The agency said Russia has
fared just as badly in cattle pro
duction. Last . year, the agency
said, the total number of cows
in the Soviet Union was 25,800,
000, about 3,000,0000 less than
in 1916, the year before the Bol
shevik revolution.
The agency said the Russian
magazine "Problems of Econom
ics'' disclosed that the average
Soviet collective farm family
last year earned less than 3,000
rubles. The agency said a good
wool suit costs 1800 rubles in
Russia.
