Russia Makes Two Major Concessions For Austrian Treaty WARREN GILL CANDIDATE Salem (U.R) State Sen. Warren Gill of Lebanon said today he would be a candidate in 1957 for president of the Sen ate. Gill, a Republican, said he had 14 wrjtten pledges of sup port from fellow senator, seven from , holdovers, who will not have to seek reelection next year. Dead line Sunaay Classified is at noon Saturday; 1a.m. Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 orevious day. By CHARLES M. MC CANN United Press Foreign Analyst Russia, faced with the certain ty of German rearmament, has made two important conces sions in the Austrian treaty negoti a t i o n s now being con ducted in Vi enna. The Soviet government started by pur suing a tough line. It tried to word the trea ty so Austria WOU1Q not De thulei McCann really independent. It tried to include an article that would permit it to get hold of the Iron Curtain refugees now being sheltered in Austria. As the result, the negotiations which started off so smoothly on Monday ran into some snags. Russia Drops Demands Nevertheless, Allied diplo matic authorities insisted all along that the Kremlin seemed ready at last to sign the treaty restoring to Austria the sov ereignty which it lost when Nazi Germany seized it in 1933. Their optimism now seems justified, for the. Soviet delega tion has announced that it is ready to drop two unacceptable demands.

The other was that Austrian armed forces be rigidly restricted in size. It is reported that Secretary of State John Foster Dulles hopes the treaty may be signed in Vienna around the middle of this month. As has been pointed out, if Russia does agree to an accepta ble treaty, it will be because of its acute anxiety over the pros pect of West German rearma ment. V Germans would be told that they, too, could have a treaty and get foreign occupation troops out of their country if they would refuse to rearm. This appeal is strong. In the Vienna negotiations, the United States, British and French dele gates must not only oppose the greediness of the Rusians. They must guard against over-eagerness by the Austrians themselves to give the Russians concessions in order to get rid of the destined Red Army! One snag in the Vienna nego tiations concerns about 36,000 refugees from behind the Iron Curtain who are now in Austria. They include Russians, Poles, Czechoslovaks, Hungarians and Roumanians. These people have escaped from Iron Curtain territory at risk of their lives. They are the fortunate one. Thousands of oth ers have been shot while trying to cross the border or have been killed by land mines planted along it. - Russia is trying to word the treaty so it could get all these people into its grip, to be tor tured, enslaved or murdered. A second snag concerns the size ' of the Austrian armed forces. Russia wants to limit the Austrian army to 53,000 men, and the air force to 5,000 men with 90 planes. Rassia ialso, however, wants Austria torbe completely neutral. An army of 53,000 is hardly large enough to permit Austria to attempt to defend its neutral ity. Further, this restriction would limit Austria's sovereignty. Murder.Complainis Filed in Portland Portland (U.R) First de gree murder complaints were signed by detectives late yester day against Joe Hayou, 31, and Leo Brown, 34, in connection with the death of John Hall Goodwin, 47, who police said was kicked to death in a hotel room here.

Hayou has a police record card under the name of Joseph Hill but nolice . said his Army dis charge Daner gave his name as Joe Hayou. V Onrby "ft For the loveliest Mother the loveliest lingerie!

The Vanity Fair Mother of 1955 Will Be Chosen Saturday, May 7th The Only Burelson's in Medford Taxpayers To Feel Methods Used To Balance Budget . Salem (U.R) The second longest legislative session in Ore gon's history ended in a shout at 7:10 last night and left the legal brains to incorporate into the state's code of laws some major changes in policy and adminis tration. Principal accomplishment of the 115-day session was the fis cal program that enabled the lawmakers to go home with the state's books in balance. The method will become obvious to Oregon taxpayers next , April 15 when they pay income taxes based on a 45 per cent surtax on top of present rates. Instead of the $600 personal exemption, they will et only " $500. They will pay according to present rates but the surtax was added to bring in some $44,000,000 of new revenue needed to meet a budget for the next biennium of more than $217,000,000. A new feature of the income tax law is the hardship clause which says any single person earning less than $1000 a year or a man and wife earning (less than $1500 will pay no taxes at all. For their money the taxpayers will get a building program cost ing nearly $15,000,000 for their schools and institutions and will suffer few restrictions of present services. Other Revenue Measures Other new Income will come from six companion .revenue plans passed by the Legislature provided they are not rejected by the voters. They were: A cigarette tax of three cents per pack, increased withholding tax from paychecks, increased taxes on insurance premiums, higher prices for liquor at state stores, new taxes on utilities and real estate firms, and a corporation income tax. In summary, these were some of the major pieces of legisla tion enacted by the 48th legis lature:" Water resources A state wide code governing the use of ground water was created, to gether with, a water resources board that will have final say how that vital resource will be used and conserved. Education A new four-year liberal arts college was created within the framework of the old Portland extension center, Known as Portland State Col lege, the new institution will take its place in the state system of higher education, along with the University of Oregon and Oregon State College. Mental Hospital OK'd , Institutions A new institu tion to care for the state's men tally ill was approved after a 26 year battle by Rep. F. H. Dam Masch (R-Portland). The hospital will be built within 20 miles of Multnomah coumy courthouse and the Legislature, in its clos ing hours, adopted a resolution recommending to the Board of Control that it be named the F. H. Dammasch hospital. Administration Years of study finally culminated in an administrative procedures law that will set up standards for the conduct of hearings and re views before state agencies. Legislature Members voted to send to the people the pro position that legislatures be giv en more money for their services in Salem. The proposal would increase legislative pay from $600 to $1200 per year. I Public Health A move to establish a compulsory state meat inspection system in Ore gon got as far as a limited pilot program to operate for the next two years. After that, propon ents hope to get legislative ap proval for a full-scale system. A law that would make it easier for cities and counties to form sanitary districts was designed as a partial solution to the growing problems of sewage dis posal in fringe areas around Ore gon's larger cities. Libel Bill Passed Labor Workers laid off the job through no fault of their own will receive a maximum of $35 a week instead of the pres ent $25 but it will be harder for them to collect unless they arc actively in the labor market and not just casual workers. Libel Radio and television stations, newspapers and period icals will have less trouble with nuisance suits filed against them for inadvertent libel. ', If .the stations or publications carry a retraction of innocent errors, in jured parties will be able to sue only for actual damages, not for punitive damages. Extcurlr The governor would be given increased re sponsibility through transfer from the secretary of state the control of the motor vehicle div ision. That branch of the state's business, including vehicle and driver licensing and fuel taxes, Sum Reserved for Two State School Districts Washington j(U.R) A sum of $95,000 is being reserved for school construction in two Ore gon, districts, the Federal Office of Education said today. The largest item, $82,500, is being reserved for Wasco county school district No. 9, The Dalles, while the remaining $12,500 is assigned to Gold Beach school district No. 3. The two Oregon districts are among - the first to get funds under a law signed by President Eisenhower only a few days ago. Final approval of the funds will be given after technical re quirements have been met. BURNS FATAL Portland OJ.R) Mrs. Erat almadge Taylor, 30, died in a local .hospital Tuesday night from burns - suffered ' about a month ago when her clothing caught fire after she set a bottle of baby oil on a heat register. It either ignited' or exploded. at BUSH'S for grade B milk were stiffened to make them nearly on a par withgrade A milk All the major pieces of legis lation will become effective 90 days after final adjournment or Aug. 4.
