Personal Income
Surtax Expected
To Be Accepted
Salem (U.R) The 45 per
cent surtax on personal income .
taxes passed by the Legislature
to brine in some $44,000,000 ,
toward meeting an anticipated
deficit in the next biennium is
expected by its sponsors to be
accepted by the people without
challenge at the polls.
But if the act should be re
ferred, the Legislature which
wound up its work and adjourn
ed Wednesday night, made pro
visions for a special election this
fall to pass upon the program.
Special Session Sean
If the measure should be de
feated, then a special session of
the Legislature probably would
be called, the lawmakers said.
And if no other solution accept
able to the people was found, it
would mean, they said, that the
state would have to impose a
property tax for the first time in
many years. The state has been
using the income tax as a proper
ty off -set tax, and has left the
levy against property to local
levels of government.
Should the cigarette tax of
three cents a pack designed to
bring in an added $10,000,000
be referred, and not the income
tax, then there would be no
special election. The matter
would go on the ballot in the
next regular general election in
November, 1956.
Moscow Shifts To
Hew Foreign Policy
Moscow U.R) The Soviet
Union has shifted to a new for
eign policy of trying to ease the
cold war through more concilia
tory diplomacy while pressing
for a meeting of the Big Four
heads of state, Western diplo
mats declare.
Diplomats said the new softer
diplomacy included the Soviet
shift toward agreement on an
Austrian treaty, the constant
reference in the Soviet press to
"reducing international tension"
and the gradually mounting
campaign for Big Four talks "at
the highest level."
Soviet support of a Big Four
meeting at the top has been in
dicated in the official newspaper
Izvestia which carried a Tass dis
patch from London quoting the
British press as predicting For
eign Secretary Harold MacMil
lan will press for such a confer
ence during the Paris Big Three
talks.
Non-Farm Work
Higher on West Coast
San Francisco (U.R) Non
farm employment of wage and
salary workers in California,
Oregon and Washington rose in
mid-March to 5,025,000 up 100,
000 over March, 1954, according
to figures released by the
Department of Labor.
The department's Bureau of
Labor Statistics said the 48,200
increase over February was
slightly in excess of normal
seasonal expectations and was
spread generally over most in
dustries. California wage and salary
employment reached 3,875,000
in mid-March, 37,000 more than
in February and nearly 90,000
more than last March. Oregon
