Holmes Tells Income Tax Stand;
Smith Will Urqe Surtax Repeal
Corvallis 'UR; Gov. Elmo
Smith and State Sen. Robert
Holmes met Saturday on the
same platform for the first time
in their campaign for the governorship.
Both spoke at a luncheon
meeting here of the Benton
county League of Women vot
ers. The meeting failed to gen
erate any words between the
candidates.
State Sen. Francis Siegler
told Holmes that he took excep
tion to his insinuation that Re
publican senators did not work
as hard as they should have
during sessions of the leisla
ture.
Objected To Altitude
Holmes said he did not in
tend to make such a reflection
on any of the senators. What he
objected to in the Republicans.
he said was their "attitude of
delay and their obstructionism
to new ideas."
Rep. Wayne Ciesy said that
Holmes by his statements, was
against the surtax and against
the sales tax. "Just what group
are you going to tax," Geisy
asked.
Holmes agreed that he op
poses both forms of taxation and
"what's more," he said, "I
licve the income tax dependency
exemption should be raised." He
said the entire income tax, in
cluding the corporate tax should
be regarded.
He said he also favored Gov.
Smith's suggestion that the full
amount of the income tax should
be withheld from the salaries in
stead of the taxpayer having to
dig deeper at tax paying times.
Both Stand on Record
Both declared they would
stand on the record they had
chalked up since they went into
the state Legislature. They call
ed on the people to examine the
record.
Gov. Smith said he recognized
the injustice "of the surtax on
the state income tax and I will
recommend its repeal."
The governor reviewed a few
of the accomplishments of his
administration, since he became
chief executive early this year.
He mentioned reorganization of
the State Liquor Control Com
mission and its program of law
enforcement.
Wants More School Money

ward the budget of the State

Charles Edward Merrill, 79,
founder and directing partner
of the investment banking and
brokerage firm Merrill, Lynch,
Pierce. Fenner & Beane.
Holmes said he thought the last
budget was "inadequate" and
said he was upheld when the
State Emergency Board had to
appropriate more money to re
tain the teachers.
Gov. Smith said the state was
going to have to meet its edu
cational obligations. The pro
posed budget, he said, might
have to be trimmed, but he said
it would get a close study and
probably would not be trimmed
to any great extent.

wise is harmful to the national
security."
. . . Mr. Stevenson and any
intelligent citizen is qualified to
make recommendations with re

Lapp said. He termed it Steven
son's "responsibility" to do all
he can to halt the arms race.
He said "ceasing or limiting
the tests is the first step in in
ternational control."
He said President Eisenhower's
statement on H-bomb tests Fri
day "does not mention the health
aspect of the weapon."

Artificial Kidney Absorbs Wastes
Saiem Worker Killed
In Tumble From Ladder
San Francisco-(U.R) A medi
cal researcher reported today
how an artificial kidney is be
ing devised to remove toxic ma
terials from uremic patients.
Dr. Paul R. Schloerb of Hhe
University of Kansas School of
Medicine, reported on his re
search with such a device to the
42nd Clinical Congress of the
American College of Surgeons.
Schloerb said it is a closed,
cellophane tube that absorbs po
tassium, urea and other unwant
ed waste products from the
blood.
In dogs whose kidneys has
been removed, the cellophane
tube maintained life without any
other treatment for as long as
11 days, Schloerb said. Untreat
ed dogs lived two to five days.
The device was later used on
a 46-year-old man dying of
uremia. Seven feet of cellophane
of three-fourths of an inch in
diameter were introduced into
the small intestine. The toxic
contents of the body were re
moved for 63 hours when the
patient died suddenly of a heart
ailment.
Ten thousand persons are ex
pected to attend the five-day
meeting of the surgeon's con-
eress. Nearlv 1.000 sureeons will
present 200 separate reports on
research projects being conduct
ed by hospitals and medical cen
ters throughout the United
States.
