t Tires To Match Auto Colors To Be Offered Motorists Next Month Detroit U.R, Motorists next month will be able to select tires to match the color of their cars in the same manner a man picks a tie to match hi suits, the U.S. Rubber Co. has an nounced. The company said it will offer blue, green and brown tires along with the conventional black and white sidewalls now offered. The tires will be offered only as extra equipment on autos at first, the company said, and will cost S16 to S17 more per tire than "premium" tires. 40 Years of Research Howard N. Hawkes, vice-president and general manager of the company's tire division, said the three new colors were chosen after 40 years of research which showed they "blend best with most present cars." He said there actually was '"no limitation on the variety of colors which can be produced." The new tires are the first suc cessfully produced in a variety of colors. Marcia Gottschall, woman tire designer who helped work on the new tires, said U.S. Rubber was starting on colored tires with these more conservative shades because it wanted to de termine how readily the public would accept them. Narrow White Sidewalls The tires will have narrow white sidewalls next to the rim. surrounded by the colored wall. Only the tread still will be black. The company said the tires, now in production at its Detroit plan, would be more expensive because of the added cost of matching colors to make sure all four tires on a car match, and the cost of stocking all the dif ferent colors in all sizes. The company said neither the blue, green nor brown will show dirt as readily as black tires. Freight Truck Dunked in Drink The Dalles (U.R) The Coast Guard hoped today to recover a 45-foot truck and trailer which Wednesday slipped off the Mary hill ferry and disappeared into the swirling waters of the Co lumbia river as the driver jump ed for his life. Driver K. Trogdon was getting a ride from Oregon to Washing ton in his heavy rig when he heard the ferry captain franti cally blowing the boat's whistle. He looked out to find his truck rolling one way and the boat going to other. He just managed to jump to safety as the cab followed the trailer over the side. The Coast Guard was notified.

Trogdon said he was headed from Oregon to Washington with a load of general cargo when he slipped into the drink.

Sen. George Ulett (R-Coquille) said the $65,000 involved is col lected by the board for forest patrol purposes and only the actual cost of the service is re covered. He assured the Senate that the money would not be lost to the general fund, because the Ways and Means Committee would check carefully to take that much out of the forestry board's over-all budget. Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D Milwaukie) moved to re-refer the measure so that the Ways and Means Committee would see to it that other boards and com missions not now included in the tithing act, were brought under it. Sens. Phil Lowry (R Medford) and Warren Gill (R Lebanon) also expressed concern that out of some 100 boards and commissions collecting fees or other revenue, only 23 are in cluded in the tithing act. The move t.o re-refer lost 20 to 10 and the measure passed 18 to 22. The Senate passed with little or no debate six other measures of a more or less technical na ture, including one to increase the membership of the Oregon Development Commission from five to seven members, and giv ing the governor discretion in choosing them rather than desig nating, as under the present act, what groups shall be repre sented on the commission. Salem U.R) The House has rejected by a vote of 35 to 23 an attempt by Rep. Walter Pearson (D-Portland) to force another vote and more debate on the libel bill. Pearson said he was willing to keep the legislature in session all year if necessary to defeat a bill as bad as the one relaxing present law regarding inadvert ent libel in newspapers, radio, and television stations. He said he had hoped never to see the day when such "special inter est" legislation would win ap proval. The bill was sent to the Senate after a House vote of 32 to 27. By changing his vote to yes, Pearson was able to move for reconsideration. Salem (U.R) Rep. Loran Stewart, (R-Cottage Grove) said House members would be given a preview at a special meeting March 25 of the House Tax Com mittee's program to raise rev enue. Stewart is chairman of the committee. At present it appears unlikely that a sales tax will be included in the tax package but it was considered possible such a meas ure would be prepared to pre- Young Oregonians To Be at YMCA Here Twenty acts of vaudeville will be featured in a two-hour Young Oregon show which will be in Medford Saturday, March 19, at 8 p.m. The event is sponsored here this year by the YMCA and will be staged in the "Y" gymnasium.

Schroth, publisher of the Brook lyn Eagle, announced today that the newspaper "does not intend ever to resume publication." Schroth made his announce ment in a letter to the News paper Guild of New York, which went on strike against the Eagle 47 days ago. The announcement said: 'The consequences of the strike have destroyed the Brooklyn Eagle and we do not intend ever to resume publication of the news paper." The Guild had demanded a $5.80 weekly wage increase over a two-year period. The newspaper had offered $2.40 a week to be paid over the same period. At the time the strike began, editorial salaries ranged from $47.50 for copy boys to $131.50 for experienced news men and photographers. sent to voters as an alternative at a special election. Ed Geary, speaker of the House, said lie doubted a sales tax measure could pass the lower chamber but that pressure was building up. He added there was a growing belief that major parts of a tax program would be referred to the people which would hold up revenue from such a measure for two years and result in a state tax on prop erty. Present plans of the House committee favor an increase in the income tax with a cigarette tax, removal of exemption from the corporate excise tax enjoyed by utilities and corporations whose main source of income is from real property rentals.
