Musicians Protest
Amusement Tax
Portland (U.R) A resolution
spurred by complaints of Port
land members of the American
Federation of Musicians was ap
proved by the Portland Central

position to the 20 per cent fed
eral amusement tax.
The resolution, to be sent to
Oregon's congressional delega
tion said "tens of thousands are
jobless because of this ruinous
tax."
It added that the wartime tax
was no longer needed and that it
was discriminatory, repriving
thousands of musicians and oth
ers of work.
Circuit Judge James R. Bain
of Multnomah county asked the
council to endorse a daylight pa
rade , in Portland on Veterans
Day, Nov. 11, and to call on em
w ployes to grant veterans a holi
day on that anniversary. Bain
represented, the veterans council.

Suggestion Made to Force Annexation Of Fringe Areas
Portland (U.R) Mayor Paul
O. Landry of Klamath Falls sug
gested yesterday that a law be
passed, which would make an
nexation automatic when the
population of a fringe area ap
proaches that of the city.
The suggestion was made at
the annual meeting of the
League of Oregon Cities here
as a possible method to help
problems caused by growing
areas near Oregon's largest com
munities. Informal Hearing '
Officials from seven cities met
at an informal hearing with the
legislative interim committee on
local government and urban
area problems. Problems cited
include danger from inadequate
sewage disposal in suburban
fringes, growing cost to cities to
provide services to those who
are not taxed, and difficulty
of large scale annexations.
Landry said Klamath Falls
had 16,000 inside the city limits
and as many or more outside.
Springfield has the same prob
lem, according to Mayor Edward
Harms, who said voters had
twice voted to remain outside
the city limits.
Permits Turned Down
Harms said lack of sanitary
sewers was such a problem that
the county turned down 95 out
of 100 building permit applica
tions. He added that the Lane
county heallh board had even
warned that some well users' are
actually drinking their own sewage.
Dulles Would Attend .
Vienna State Opera '
Paris (U.R) Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles would
like to attend the festive open
ing of the Vienna State opera
Nov. 5 if his schedule permits,
an American spokesman said to
day. The Austrian government sent
Dulles an invitation to attend
the opening of the historic opera
house, celebrating the end of the
Austrian occupation. ' . .
Another suggestion was made
that occupational taxes be levied
for those who work inside and
live outside city limits.
Mavor Richard W. Lone of
Oregon City said the water sup
ply presented his city's biggest
problem. He said that when Ore
gon City's 3.000,000 gallon per
day pipeline was built there was
water to" spare. Now, he said,
industrial users have had to be
turned away.
Medford Problem Told '
Robert A. Duff, ; of Medford
said the city council there tried
to annex a territory , larger than
itself with the idea of building
proper water and sewage lines
in a rapidly developing area.
But it failed by a 10 to 1 margin.
An annexation vote on a smaller
area is now proposed.
Mayor M. A. Davidson of The
Dalles said the new ' dam there
had brought about plans for "the
toughest subdivision ordinance
anywhere" requiring real estate
developers to install all utilities,
streets and sidewalks.
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEK
Surprise Witnesses
Hinted in Axil rod
Strangulation Trial
: Minneapolis (U.R) The prose
cution hinted it would call sur
prise witnesses today in its at
tempt to prove that Dr. A. Arn
old Axilrod seduced and stran
gled a GI's pretty wife.
Axilrod, a 50-year-old dentist,
is accused of slaying Mrs. Eliza
beth Mary Moonen, 21, after she
threatened to "tell the world"
he fathered her unborn child.
County Attorney George Scott,
who had been expected to wind
up the state's case after the testi
mony of Coroner William Gu
thrie, said he will call , at least,
"several more witnesses." He
added, however, "we still expect
tovrest our case some time this
week."
Scott's hint followed a day
in which:
1. A detective testified he
heard Axilroa tell his wife after
his arrest, "If I did it, I did it."
2. The state gave an indica
tion of its new strategy by call
ing its first .surprise witness,
Mrs. Joyce Davis, 39. Mrs. Davis
testified that Axilrod telephoned
her on the evening of the mur
der and "insisted"on. delivering
some presumably lower-tax cig
arettes he asked her to buy. "
3. Guthrie testified ' he heard
Axilrod say he "must" have
strangled . his attractive patient
shortly after Mrs. ' Moonen's
body was found in an alley in
the fashionable Lake of the Isles
district last April 23. '
. The detective, Walter L. Dolm-
seth, 43, said Axilrod's state
ment to his wife was made at
police headquarters. . He said
Mrs. Axilrod told her husband:
. "These people are crazy to
put you in jail." '
Dolmseth said Axilrod . re
plied: ..":. '
"Well, if I did it, I did it. But
don't' worry. Everything will
come out okay."
Woman Reports Visit
Mrs. Davis said Axilrod called
her about 6:30 p.m. on April
22 and asked if she wanted to
buy some cigarettes from him,
presumably lower-tax cigarettes
from Wisconsin.
She said she told Axilrod she
would let him know, but that
he "insisted" on delivering them
immediately. The dentist deliv
ered the cigarette's about 6:45
p.m. and stayed 45 minutes, talk
ing with her and her son, Law
rence, 19, she said.
Mrs. Davis said Axilrod seem
ed tired and blinked his. eyes,
so she asked him if he were
tired. She said he replied, "No,
it's not that."
Mrs. Davis said the dentist
telephoned her about two weeks
later, after his arrest, and asked
her if she had told police about
his visit and if she had pointed
out that her son was present.
She said she had.
"He asked, 'Did you tell them
you had asked me over to see
the apartment,'" Mrs. Davis
testified. She said she told him,
'I did not," and hung up on him.
