IT BUPWlCj 7 62 DOyiNCQME YxGETEHOUeUJ Measures in Oregon Legislature Salem (U.R) A measure to put child molesters under psy chiatric care and indeterminate sentence has been introduced in the Senate by Sen. John C. F. Merrifield (R-Portland). Sen. Merrifield said "the ef fect of this bill is to permit the court to replace the sentences for sex crimes now prescribed by law with an indeterminate term sentence, imposed at the discretion of the court, after a psychiatric examination and hearing." The measure relates to of fenses against children under 16 years of age. Merrifield said: "For years we yTTEvH Gate Opn 6:30 - Show at 7 TONITE! Gregory PECK'S LATEST COMEDY HIT! LAUGHTER B THE BUSHEL.. 1(1 VP By the Mi. . G3EGC3ST have been seeking a means by which we could cope with those individuals convicted of crimes against children. Many respons ible individuals and organiza tions have tried to write a sex deviate bill, but because of the many problems involved no one has as yet been successful in ac complishing it. "My bill is not a sex deviate bill as such and should not be confused with the type of legis lation sought to be passed in the 1953 session. "This bill deals solely with the problem of child molestation and I believe it can be the answer to that one phase of sex deviation." Merrifield said the bill is pat terned after similar legislation passed by New York state. Salem (U.R) The House Taxation committee has given its approval to a bill adopting a corporation income tax law in Oregon with the tax structure as the corporation excise tax. The bill represents a new con cept of corporation taxes in the state and is designed to reach corporations now exempt, ac cording to a U. S. Supreme Court ruling, from paying the state ex cise tax. A favorable recommendation was also placed on a bill that would end the exemption from the corporate excise tax now en joyed by real estate companies and utilities. Both are integral parts of the committee's revenue tax program. Ways and Means Committee Rep. Pat Dooley of Portland said he thought the committee conflicted with a provision of the constitution which provides that each house shall determine its own rules of proceedings. The committee is made up of both House and Senate members. Salem (U.R) Rep. Loran Stewart (R-Cottage Grove) chair man of the House Tax Commit tee said a hearing has been scheduled next Wednesday on a measure to place a three-cent per pack tax on cigarettes. The tax is a major item in the comT mittee's tax package.

Salem (U.R) The House has passed and sent to the governor a Senate-approved measure un der which minor erasures on a bid submitted to the state gov ernment would not nullify the entire bid.
