P?tT MZPTOKP (OKZOOW) MAIL THIBUNg Friday, March II, 1955 Butler's Inference To Mamie's Health Brings : Vigorous Rebuke From GOP Byrd Concedes Tax Cutting Plan Getting Votes But Sees Defeat Washington (U.R) Sen Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) conceded today that a Democratic income tax-cut compromise has picked up votes in the Senate but he still predicted its defeat. At the same time. Chairman Styles Bridges (N.H.) of the Re publican Policy Committee re ported that a recheck of GOP senators showed them still almost solid in support of the ad ministration. The Senate started debate yes terday on the House-approved tax bill, which contains pro visions to extend corporate and excise tax rates which Presi dent Eisenhower wants and an income tax cut which he op poses. A Senate vote is unlikely before next Tuesday or Wednes day. House Plan The House plan, which was facing defeat in the Senate, would cut income taxes for all taxpayers and dependents by $20 a year, starting next Jan. 1 The Senate compromise would set the cuts at 520 for each tax payer and $10 for each depend ent, except his wife, and would limit the tax relief largely to those with incomes below $5000 Milk Marketing Talk Scheduled at Meeting Grants Pass Aspects of the milk marketing situation will be discussed by Neal Miller, Woodburn, at the March meet ing of the Rogue River Jersey Cattle , club to be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schutrwohl, on Allen rd. near Grants Pass, Sunday, March 13.

As chairman of the Senate Finance Qommittee, Byrd is one leader of the fight for the Eisen hower administration against ap proval of any tax reduction at One-Cow, Three-Goal Dairies Legalized Salem The state department of agriculture has called atten tion to the fact that the 1955 legislature has legalized the sale of uninspected milk from farm ers who have not more than one cow or three goats. The bill has been signed by the governor and will become law 60 days after the legislature adjourns. Those affected by the law will be able to sell surplus milk, pro vided it is not advertised. The measure will legalize a prevail ing practice. The department said consum ers who purchase milk from such unlicensed operators should understand the milk is not in spected and therefore is not sub ject to the sanitation controls which bigger dairies must ob serve. Farmers' Pockelbooks Declared Tightened Washington U.R) The saueeze on the farmers' pocket- book "tightened appreciably" in the past year, the Agriculture department said today. In a farm cost report, the de partment noted a four per cent decline in the farm parity ratio from the last quarter of 1953 to the last auarter of 1954. It said "almost all" of the decline was due to lower prices farmers re ceived for1 their crops. The cost of livine and of nro- duction items the farmers had to buy, meanwhile, rose about one per cent during the period, the department said.

Change Sides Before the compromise was unveiled, it appeared that there would be about a dozen Demo cratic votes against the House proposal. A number of these senators now are counted as supporters of the compromise. "It has a little more strength than the House bill," Byrd told a reporter, 'but I still feel con fident that we are going to win." An authoritative Democratic source said present indications are that only three or four Democrats will vote against the compromise. If one Republican votes for Hie compromise, three Demo cratic votes will be needed to defeat it, assuming all Senators are voting or paired.

Crawford today had under ad visement a defense demurrer which contended that the first degree murder indictment against Wey Him and Sherry Fong was not valid. The Fongs are charged with the murder of Diane Hank, 16- year-old Portland girl whose body was found on the Ever green Highway near Washougal, Wash., last winter.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The angry Republican explosion of protest pnpinct 3 political reference -to Mrs. Mamie Eisen how er's health just about added up to day to some more pressure on the Presi dent to be a candidate next year for re election. Lyle C. Wilson He doesn't want to do it. But the heat is on. Not in years has the capital seen a political maneuver so quickly organized and effected as Thursday's on the subject of Mrs. Eisenhower's health. Republicans individually and in groups mauled Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul M. Butler for a news con ference suggested that her health was one reason Mr. Eis enhower would not run again. Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. (R Mass.), former speaker' and now Republican House leader, opened the attack which continued throughout Thursday. It became a bitter, personal assault on Butler, whose character and con duct were shredded in angry debate. Vigor Astonishing "Loathsome; irresponsible; scoundrel; low animal in human form," were some of the Re publican bouquets for Butler as members addressed the House and Senate in angry terms. Astonishing to many in Wash ington was the scope and vigor of the Republican rebuke. It scarcely could have been less than inspired and organized by someone, although over a period of 20 years, members of Frank lin D. . Roosevelt's family were the subject of public and private comment considerably less flat tering than Butler's comment on Mrs. Eisenhower's health. The organized co-ordination of the Republican uproar was evidence enough of the party's recognition of Mr. Eisenhower as the best Republican bet in 1956 and its determination to put him up again. And Repub lican orators may have been fired to greater heat by suspic ion that there was some sub stance in Butler's remarks. The capital grapevine reported that the President thought Butler was playing "kind of low" politics. Health Basically Good The only qualified witness was the White House physician, Dr. Howard McC. Snyder. He said that aside from a heart con dition of which the public long has been aware, Mrs. Eisen hower's health is basically good The heart condition was de scribed as a "murmur" which sometimes limits her activities. She sometimes has suffered from over-fatigue. She does not like to fly at high altitudes. She is bedded right now for a few Lebanon Woman Threatened For Letter on Welfare Funds Lebanon, Ore. (U.R) Police said yesterday an attempt has been made on the life of a Leb anon woman who had written a letter saying there were at least five cases in Linn county where welfare funds were being received illegally. But instead of harming the woman, Mrs. E. A. Gall, the un known male assailant beat her husband. Police said Gall was badly battered about the head and body. He was taken to Lebanon hospital where his con dition was described as "pretty good." Mrs. Gall told police she had received several anonymous tele phone calls and one had threat ened her life after she had print ed In the Lebanon Express on Feb. 25 a letter in which she claimed knowlge of five cases where welfare funds were being received illegally. Mrs. Gall said she received a call from a woman who appeared hysterical. The woman told her that "This is the day and the hour. Prepare to meet your maker." Mrs. Gall and her teen-age daughter left home and her hus band stayed in the house. He said that about 7:30 p. m. a man came to the door and demanded the whereabouts of Mrs. Gall.

Marion county Sheriff Denver Young said today that three of four rifles picked up for labora tory tests have been cleared of any connection with the crime and have been returned to their owners. Kaser, a Silverton hop grow er, was shot to death as he drove his car into the driveway of his farm home the night of Feb. 7. Casper Oveross, a one-time neighbor of Kaser, was arrested and charged with the murder, but was released by a Marion county grand jury. days with 'flu. Otherwise, said Dr. Snyder: "There is no illn ess. Butler took the abuse in stride, explaining that he mere ly had referred to published re ports as to Mrs. Eisenhower's health in relation to 1956 poli tics. He recognized the outcry as symptomatic of Republican desire to renominate Mr. Eisen hower. "If their (the Republican) pur pose is to persuade Mr. Eisen how to be a candidate in 1956, they would be better advised to spend their time in supporting Mr. Eisenhower's program in stead of wasting time berating me," Butler added. . Republicans will recognize in Butler's conduct a Democratic hope that Mr. Eisenhower will not again be a candidate. Auto Chains Needed Over Santiam Pass Salem (U.R) Chains were re quired for motorists traveling over Santiam pass, where 6 inches of new snow fell over night, the State Highway De partment said today.

"What would one want with two Scot tish castles?" "Could one be a wedding pres ent for her daughter?" The story recalled speculation that a marriage of the Princess and the 40-year-old divorced fly er would have to take place in Scotland since the Church of England does not recognize such a marriage. w (Dais DEPARTMENT Mew?
