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.
Picnic and Swim Held
A swim party and picnic was
held by the intermediate girls
of the Phoenix Presbyterian
church Sunday afternoon. The
group swam at Twin Plunges and
later held their picnic in Ash
land Lithia park.
Included in the group were
Carol Morin, Janice Neel, Mar
jory Root, Mary Lou Lawrence,
Alta Neel and Alva Root. Miss
Betty Harris, the group's teach
er, chaperoned.

Neuberger Urges
Referendum on
Hells Canyon Issue
Washington (U.P.) Sen. Rich
ard L. 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.

By LYLE C .WILSON
United Press Corespondent
Washington (U.R! President
Eisenhower might have learned
his lessons fror.i the Old Master

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.
The Dierks building formerly
housed the Grants Pass branch
of the First National Bank of
Portland.

more than do the Russians.
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.
