(International Soundphotoi Smith Recommends Simplified Plan For Income Taxes ; Salem U.R) A thorough study of methods by which pay ment of Oregon's income tax may be simplified was asked for today by Gov. Elmo Smith. ,Pointing out that one of the first objectives of his adminis tration will be an attempt to simplify the state tax system, Gov. Smith asked Ray Smith, commissioner of the State Tax Commission, to undertake such a study. Specifically, Gov Smith sug gested a study of the proposal for determining an individual's state income tax by taking a per centage' of his federal income tax and also the proposal for ex pansion of the tax base and the lowering of the tax rates as a means of simplification. At the same time, he did not close the door to any other possibilities for simplifying state income tax pay ments, i . . "Our objective should be ad ministrative simplification a s well as one of simplification from a taxpayer's standpoint," the governor added. ' He asked the State Depart ment of Finance and Administra tion to work closely with the Tax Commission in the study and for both agencies to call on citizens groups or individuals who have studied problems of tax simpli Freedom Foundation Award Winners Told Valley Forge, Pa.

Generations of Atom Bomb Tests Seen To Have No Effect on Life "" Washington U.R) Biologist George W. ' Beadle believes atomic bomb tests could go on for generations at the present rate without endangering the survival of mankind. Beadle, head of the biology division of the California Insti tute of Technology, discussed radiation's effect on heredity in a paper published by the office of Naval Research. No Termination : He said: "I do not know of a single geneticist who has ' pub licly advocated termination of aE nuclear weapons tests." This may come as a surprise to those who have not read all the way through the many re cent speeches by geneticists warning that atomic test radia tion does hereditary damage. Prominent among the Warn ers, has been Dr. H. J. Muller of Indiana University. But not even Muller has argued that nu clear testing should be aband oned. As Beadle put it: ' "Geneticists, like other sen sible people, want to do - every thing possible to decrease the probability of war." Addition Serioui Still, he said, there is no get ting away from the - conclusion that, any addition to the radia tion level will add to the num ber of genetic changes. And probably 90 per cent of the changes will be damaging. It may take generations for the bad effects of genetic change to show up. But it also may take, "thousands of years" for the race to recover from. them. The long-term effects may be miscarriages or stillbirths, or slight reductions in individual efficiency "in ways that' will not be obvious." There may be a few "visibly defective individuals." Beadle said if bomb-testing continues at its present rate, 'lor even if it is accelerated consid erably," it is ' unlikely that hi 20 years people would get - an average exposure of more than two roentgen units above from the cosmic rays anci other nat ural sources.
