Admission Tax Reduction Voted Washington (U.R) ' The House Ways and Means commit tee voted today to drop the 10 per cent federal tax on movie ad mission costing $1 or less. The exemption also would ap ply to admission of SI or less to sporting events, concerts, and all the other public events which are subject to the tax. The federal admissions tax at present applies to movies and other events to which the ad mission is more than 50 cents. Movie house operators, hard hit in recent years by the advent of television, led the fight for re peal or modification of the tax. Rep. Cecil R. King (R-Calif.), sponsor of the bill, said he hopes to call it up for House action soon. He is confident of House approval. The administration has oppos ed any reduction in present tax es.

Neuberger (D.-Ore.) to day challenged opponents of a federal dam at Hells Canyon to let the issue be decided by a November referendum among the voters of Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Neuberger issued his chal lenge in a Senate speech in ad vance of a showdown in Con gress on the dam issue. A bill to authorize the federal dam is scheduled to come up for a Sen ate vote this week. The Oregon senator, a spon sor of a bill calling for a high federal dam at Hells Canyon, proposed a "truce" pending the referendum. He suggested that the Idaho Power Co. meanwhile stop work on its Brownlee dam and that Congress take no action to authorize a federal dam. Neuberger said that he would abide by the result of the refer endum even if voters in the three states adjoining Hells Can yon should favor the three low dams proposed by the power company instead of a federal project. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R. Ariz.) called Neuberger's sug gestion "highly improper." He said it "completely misses the point" by calling for a referen dum in the three Northwest states. Goldwater said construction of a federal dam is a "matter for the entire nation to decide" be cause the nation s taxpayers would put up the money if Con gress authorizes it. East Germany Ends Industrial Speedup Berlin (U.R) Communist East Germany bowed today to the demands of rebellious work ers and called off an industrial speedup in the Soviet zone. West ern observers said the action in dicated Communist concern over the possibility of a Poznan-type "bread and freedom," revolt. Labor Minister Friedrich Ma cher ordered state owned fac tories to drop new production quotas calling for more work and less payl The edict coincided with the departure for Moscow of top East German Communist party and government leaders. Pre mier Otto Grotewohl and party "strongman" Walter Ubricht led the delegation which will hold "important talks" with Krem lin leaders, according to the East Zone radio.

ThisWeek Don't Eisenhower May Be Learning Good Tricks From Old Political Master By LYLE C .WILSON United Press Corespondent Washington (U.R! President Eisenhower might have learned his lessons fror.i the Old Master h i m s elf, the way he deals 'em out of FDR's politi cal deck. FDR's like in the White House may never be seen again. Mr. Eis e n h o w e r learns fast, how ever, as Lyle C Wilson witness his pick of two caustic critics of administration foreign policy to represent the United States in the U.N. General As sembly. Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif.) calls Eisenhower poli cies in the Far East too soft on Red China. He's more often off than on the foreign policy reser vation. Knowland doesn't like the President's air inspection plan for disarmament much New Bank Opened In Grants Pass Grants Pass The Southern Oregon State bank was official ly opened here Saturday morn ing by Mayor Robert C. Martin. The bank, located in the Dierks building, is a home-owned, inde pendent institution. Dennis Chancier, 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Chan cier, route 1 box 225A, Rogue River, was the first to make a deposit in the new bank. He opened an account with money he had earned working in hay fields. Cliff Knutson, president of the Grants Pass and Josephine County Chamber of Commerce; Ralph T. Moore, president of the bank; Howard R. Hansen, execu tive vice president, and E. Allen Tegarden, vice president and cashier all spoke briefly during sun - warmed sidewalk opening ceremonies. The bank is to be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. six days a week. Its modern equipment in cludes a Todd check imprinter, which will print names and ad dresses of depositors on checks within minutes and a Burroughs Bell and Howell Micro Twin microfilming machine able to frecord checks on film at the rate of 300 per minute.

Neither Will Back Down Mr. Eisenhower chose Know land, however, and Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) as U.S. representatives. Humphrey has the persistence of a mosquito and the sting of an over-size wasp when he goes after the administration, which is mighty near all the time and on all sub jects. They were two of five representatives named by the President. As U.S. representatives nei ther senator will need reverse his individual position. It is in evitable, however, that both will be drawn more closely to ad ministration foreign policy be cause each will have become in strumental in it to some degree. Such strategy is right out of FDR's political handbook, as was a third nomination of Paul G. Hoffman to be a. U.S. repre sentative. Challenge McCarthy Mr. Eisenhower," like Mr. Roosevelt, oils the waters where he can but does not always run from a fight. Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy (R-Wis.) has promised to oppose Hoffman's confirmation by the Senate. The administra tion chose to challenge McCar thy. That should make consid erable political hay with the big spending foreign policy element among the voters and the anti McCarthy folk. That strategy probably will pay off. too. The choices of Knowland Humphrey were in the pattern Checks Said Cashed As Friendly Favor Springfield, 111. (U.R! A Chi cago banker said he would tell a Grand Jury today that he cashed questionable state warrants at the request of Illinois Auditor Orville E. Hodge. Edward A. Hintz, who re signed recently as president of the Southmoor Bank and Trust Co. in Chicago, said he personal ly approved the cashing of at least 26 of 42 checks totalling S544,000 by persons other than the rightful payee. He said he did it out of friendship for Hodge and. that he was never paid for this service. Hintz admitted to special As sistant Attorney General Albert E. Jenner Jr. of Chicago, who will conduct a probe by the state budgetary commission, that he handed over the checks to per sons that Hodge personally sent to the bank. Many of these per sons were not the ones to whom the checks were made out, Hintz said. Incorporation Acts Filed for New Firm Articles of incorporation were filed Saturday for Coast Sales, Inc., by L. F. Crovatto, and Mr. and Mrs. George McUne. The new company will be dealers in new and used trucks and trail ers and distributors to Medford and area of the Scotsman ice making machine. The firm at 1158 Court st., is currently selling the ice making machines and is expecting its state license for truck sales this week. Fifty per cent of the company is owned by Crovatto, with Mr. and Mrs. McUne sharing the other half. Ringling Circus Closes Season Early Pittsburgh (U.R) The Ring ling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus closed short its 1956 season today. "The Greatest Show on Earth," hit by bad luck from the start of the season, an nounced that following today's scheduled performance at near by Heidelberg, Pa., it was re turning to its winter quarters at Sarasota, Fla. . "The tented circus as it now exists is, in my opinion, a thing of the past," John Ringling North, president of the circus, said. Super Sab! Omily of Mr. Eisenhower's alert draft of Sen. Walter F. George for the administration team last May. The Senate dean was forced to announced his retirement under threat of a bad licking in Georgia's senatorial primary. Young former Gov. Herman Tal madge had decided to make the Senate race. George will be -Mr. Eisenhow er's eyes and ears in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a powerful defender of ad ministration foreign policy against all attacks, including Democratic. That was smart politics. Philippines-Japan War Officially Over Manila U.R) The Philippine Senate ratified the San Francisco rjeace treaty today to end the state of war between this coun- trv and Japan. Earlier, the Senate had ratified a S550,000,000 reparations agree ment with Japan, opening the way to restoration of full normal relations between the two coun tries. Japan signed the San Francis co treaty in 1951 to end its state of war with most countries with which it had fought in World War II. But the Philippines held out in a demand for greater in demnity payments for war dam age inflicted by Japanese forces. The $550,000,000 reparations agreement finally was signed last May 9 after years of negoti ations. The Japanese Diet formal ly ratified the agreement previ ously. Rangeland Lightning Fires Under Control Portland (U.R) John C. Hunt, fire control officer for the bu reau of land management, said today that scores of lightning set fires on federal rangeland in Central and Eastern Oregon have been controlled.

Removed From Scene State police said the victims and their vehicle had been re moved from the scene by the time officers arrived at 12:20 a.m. Sunday and details of the accident were still unknown this morning.
