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

Daer-Sheep Relations
Studied by School
Hopland, Calif. (U.R)
Mistletoe and rat traps are help
ing researchers study deer-sheep
relationships at the University
of California range station in
Mendocino county. - A
The- mistletoe is used to bait
the traps for deer to be used in
two studies. The rat traps are
part of the mechanism for catch
ing the deer.
Some of the deer are turned
into pastures with sheep to study
grazing competition and para
sites common to both animals.
Other deer are earmarked a
few even belled to trace their
movements on the natural range
for more information as to how
far they wander for food and
how long they live. .
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.
