At the state level, Gov. Smith said considerable attention could be given to organization of the tax commission to provide for a department of revenue to take care of state level funds and a commission on local finance that would be concerned only with the supervision of problems relating to local finance. Oregon set the pattern for the nation in attempting to find a means of strengthening and re vitalizing the property tax and making it productive of the fiscal support so urgently needed at the local level, the Governor pointed out.

Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer 1 Washington (U.R) You might call it the best boxing show in the world. The one which was ET underway here Force base. Tops among the fighting men of the Air Force from around the world. These tough ies work as a Barman Nichols teamupin.uie blue yonder, and bust one an other's snotits in the ring for a tin trophy and fun. All part of the game. There w as no admission charge. Buddies cheering. No body caring much who won. It was a show. No television. This was a better show. But who, this special night, came out the loser? A wonderful little guy named Francis L. Por terfield of 1111 E. Princeton ave., Spokane; Wash. A guy who had under-trained. Fran felt pretty bad about it. Not that he had any objections to Sgt. Charles Coliins of Kan sas City, now training at the Alaskan Air Command and a former Golden Glover contend er, who liked him. It stung a little because Fran is 33. and Charles is 23. Hurt Inside It touched the "old timer" a little when he got himself slight ly clobbered. He sat there on the stool in his corner after the final bell, not hurting so much physi cally, as inside. He remembered that when, as a kid of 13, he had a go at amateur boxing in his native North Platte. Neb. Won the first one. and a lot of other bouts too. Maybe it wasn't legal, and maybe he fibbed a little about his age. Well, about a year ago our hero was assigned to Thule, which is a little ink drop on the map about 900 miles this side of the North Pole in Greenland. 'Warm Alaska '"Dad bum." Porterfield said, "it's rough enough to fight a guy who is 10 years younger. But Charlie has been training in Alaska where it is 'warm.' " Even a Northeast Air Com mand middleweight champ, which Fran is, has to have some road work, and "that can't be done in a gymnasium on the boards."' "Up there in Thule," he said, "we have it between 30 and 50 below. And you can't wear enough long underwear and sweat clothes and ear muffs to train outside. The boards inside do something to your legs. For instance when you run six, seven or 10 miles a day." But Porterfield is not one to lean too heavily on an alibi. "Tonight I just didn't have iti' he said. "Just like Joe Louis didn't have it against Max Schmeling the first time. But Joe came back, like fighters most always do. So will I. When it gets a little warmer." These kids in the Air Force tournament take things serious ly. And why not? Guys join up and are lassoed into the service to fight, aren't they?
