The conference, the United Press learned exclusively, would include such great teams as Notre Dame, Army, Navy, Pitt, Oklahoma, the new Air Force Academy in Colorado and UCLA and Southern California from the West Coast. The conference has been pro posed by representatives of East ern schools to take the place of past opponents who now are tied up in round-robin schedules in the Ivy League, the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast conference. Approached on Conference Col. Robert V. Whitlow, ath letic director at the U.S. Air Force Academy, said he had been approached on the propos ed conference but did not re veal who approached him. "It has been mostly in the na ture of sounding out so far," said Col. Whitlow. He said that there were several factors involved in whether the Air Force team would be interested in joining. lowed with a 45.3 mark. Carl Taseff of Baltimore led the league with a 21.3 yard aver age on punt returns, while Mat son was at the top in kickoff re turns with an average run of 38.2 yards. Still Leading the Held.

Lm PINT wins close decision over Isaac third ranking welterweight, (International Soundpnoto) One of these was the time ele ment. "The Air Force Academy would not be ready for such competition for several years,' he said. At Pittsburgh, Athletic Direc tor Capt. Tom Hamilton said: "I can't say yes or no about joining such an organization at this time, because nothing is very concrete. However, we are keeping an open mind to such an idea." Hamilton Receptive Hamilton admitted he was re ceptive to the idea of having Pitt hook up with a football conference. "There have been recent dis cussions in regard to Pitt join ing various proposed confer ences," he said. "We've given a great deal of thought to such proposals, but we would run into difficulty with, the time ele ment." Pitt, like most other schools, has its schedules filled for the next three years. Proponents of the conference, however, do not plan organization until 1960 or later. Coach Red Blaik of the Army was first broached two years ago. "But nobody had contacted authorities at West Point since that time," he added. Several of the other schools deny ever ' having considered such a conference. Deny Discussions ' Athletic directors Wilbur Johns of UCLA and Willis O. Hunter of USC both denied any discussions on the proposed cross-country loop. However, de spite the denials, there is strong reason to believe that they have been contacted. There have been indications ever since the Pacif ic Coast conference slapped a fine on the two schools and ban ned them from the Rose Bowl for "under the table" payoffs to' athletes that they have been considering withdrawal from the PCC. Moose Krause, athletic direc tor at Notre Dame, said he had not been contacted. He refused to comment on whether the Ir ish would be Interested in such a league. But a reliable source said that Notre Dame, Pitt and Army al ready had signified their appro val for the conference if Navy would approve. But Navy reportedly has turn ed thumbs down on the propos al. - CRAB UNDER GLASS HarpswelL Me. (U.R) A curious crab ended up like one of those model sailing vessels in bottles.

Last night he spoke to an East Multnomah county Republican women's group at Gresham. At Willamette, Morse chal lenged McKay to debate cam paign issues at any time or place. "I have never been able to get my opponent to debate the issues with me on a platform and here in Salem once more, I challenge him to debate aril he can select the time and place," Morse said.

"I was privileged to serve in the cabinet of President Eisen hower and to have had some small part in fashioning the poli cies that kept the peace at For mosa, in the Far East and in a succession of danger spots across the globe," McKay said. He also cited the record of the Republican administration in the fields of government spend ing and taxation and lashed out sharply at the record of the pre- State Taxes Reach Record Heights Chicago U.R State tax col lections reached record heights in all the 48 states during the 1956 fiscal year, according to Commerce Clearing House, tax and business law reporting agency, v The agency said the average per capita state tax burden rose from $72.25 in fiscal 1955 to $81.60 in fiscal 1956, an in crease of $9.35. The 1956 per capita burden varied from a low of $47 in New Jersey, where city tax burdens are high, to a top of $131 in Washington, which pays for many services ordinarily paid at local levels in other states, Com merce Clearing House said. Ten states collected an aver age of more than $100 from every resident. These states, and their per capita collection, were: Washington, $131; Nevada, $130; Delaware, $127; California, $118; New Mexico, $117; Louis iana, $115; Wyoming, $112; Oklahoma, $106; Michigan, $105;; and Arizona, $102. CCH reported that Nevada registered a 42 per cent increase in tax collections in fiscal 1956. Georgia collections were up 25.5 per cent, Utah's up 24.9 per cent, and Oregon and Maryland both up 24.8 per cent during the year ended June 30.

Mors Claims Distortion Morse told his Portland State college audience that "doctored photographs and distorted charges issued by my opposition show the extent of the panic in the McKay camp." He said the Congressional Quarterly showed he had voted on 95.7 of all key votes in the Senate. He also charged that several senators had been chop ped from a picture showing him in an empty Senate chamber. McKay got a hand in his cam paign last night from a four member panel on a Portland television station that said more than 90 per cent of Oregon's newspapers are editorially en dorsing McKay. Arthur Crookham, veteran Portland newsman, said, "Any time you can get 90 per cent of the editors and publishers to support one man as they have McKay you know that man is both honest and capable." Coon Criticized Sen. Richard Neuberger con tinued stumping eastern Oregon in behalf of Morse and other Democratic party candidates yesterday and at Burns voiced strong criticism for Rep. Sam Coon. "The incredible voting record of Congressman Sam Coon on farm, education, and power de velopment legislation adds up to indifference to the needs of East ern Oregon people," Neuberger said. "Apparently Coon likes Ike's coat-tails but not his foreign policy," Neuberger added after charging the Republican con gressman supported the presi dent's foreign policy legislation on only 27 per cent of the votes. The flying Republican team of Phil Hitchcock, Ivan Congle ton and Walter Evans Jr., hit towns along the Oregon coast yesterday to plug the election of Republican candidates. Hitch cock, the man McKay defeated in the primary election, told an audience at Florence Morse is "insisting on removal of curbs on inflation that would rob those on pensions of purchasing power."
