Tax Plans Proposed
Repeal of Surtax.
Payment Increase
Among Proposals
Four Per Cent Tax
On First $500 Told
Salem (U.R) The Democrat
ic majority of the House Tax
Committee today came up with
a tax program for the next two
years calling for surtax repeal,
increased income taxes, restora
tion of personal exemptions and
dependency credit from $500 to
$600 and elimination of the per
sonal property tax offset.
. Rep. Clarence Barton, Co
quille Democrat and chairman of
the committee, said that after
three months study the commit
tee decided that taxes would
have to be increased on 11
groups of taxpayers in order to
raise needed 'revenue.
Four Per Cent Tax
Proposed income tax legisla
tion would levy a four per cent
tax on the first $500 of, income,
five per cent from $500 to $1000,
six per cent from $1000 to $1500,
seven per cent from $1500 to
$2000, eight per cent from
$2000 to $3000, nine per cent
from $3000 to $4000, 10 per cent
from $4000 to $8000 and 11.1
per cent on all income over
$8000.
This rate structure raises rates
at the lower level and lejves
them as they now exist at the
highest level.
But Barton said that increas-i
ing the personal exemption and
dependency credit will give tax
payers in the lower income
trackets some relief and cause
Bpper income taxpayers to pay
cjfofBitly more-
Coupled with tTie'Tn'cbme lax
jgiioe would be a "realistic" with
holding tax law, Barton said.
QWTk To Start Friday
Also in the program was a
kill to increase inheritance and
gift taxes. The bill would ex
empt life insurance proceeds of
$60,000 and tax all sums above
that.
Work on the bills embodying
the Democratic program will
start Friday.
Under the bill reducing the
personal property offset, rates
paid by corporations under ihe
corporate excise tax will be re
duced from eight per cent to
seven per cent. This will apply
to both businesses and utilities.
National banking corporations
will be increased from eight to
nine per cent.
Barton said the income tax
program would result in a tax
cut for a family of four if the
income is under $7,000. From
$7,000 on up the same family
would receive a slight tax in
crease. No familv of four would pay
more than $11 a year additional
taxes, Barton said.

OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL
Norman Communist
Link Learned From
Canadian Channels
Ottawa (U.R) The E. Herbert
Norman suicide case exploded
today with disclosure that the
Canadian envoy to Cairo earned
a Royal Canadian Mounted Po
lice Communist tag in 1940, that
it was removed 10 years later,
and that a U.S. Senate commit
tee learned the- story through
Canada's own security channels.
Norman, ambassador to Egypt
and Lebanon, jumped to his
death from a Cairo building late
last month. Canadian officials
blamed his death on despond
ency over a U. S. Senate sub
committee's recent resurrection
of their old charge that he was
a Communist.

Bids Are Called
For Water. Sewer
System at Lake
Bids will be opened at 3 p.m.
Wednesday, May 15, at Crater
Lake National park on water and
sewer system construction, Tom
Williams, superintendent of the
park, has announced.
The lines will supply water
and sewer facilities for new res
idential buildings at park head
quarters. " Plans - and specifica
tions are availiable at the park
service office in the Medford
post office building.
The project is one of several
construction jobs which will be
advertised during the next few
weeks, and is part of the 10-year
Mission 66 program of the park
service.
Construction Contracts
Williams said that, assuming
the passage of the department of
interior's 1958 appropriation bill
now being considered by con
gress, construction contracts well
in excess of $500,000 will be
awarded for work at Crater Lake
this season.
Mission 66 is designed to bring
park facilities up to a standard
commensurate with their import
ance to the public. The program
was so named because the pro
gram will end in 1966, the 50th
anniversary of the national park
service, when 80 million people
are expected to visit the national
parks.
Other projects for which bids
will be called in the near future
include 18,000 tons of crushed
stone, most of it for stockpiles;
12 residential units, two and
four unit apartments; two com
fort stations for Ma'zama camp
ground, remodeling equipment
storage building, 25,000 gallon
steel water reservoir, Annie
Spring encasement, and picnic
site roads.

sharply criticized by several
newspapers, bared to public
scrutiny for the first time Wed
nesday night the circumstances
leading to Norman's suicide.
Two Points Emphasixed
Pearson answered charges
and recitals of charges against
Norman in a telegram to the
editor of the Montreal Gazette.
The statement was aimed direct
ly at three, days of columns by
Ottawa correspondent Arthur
Blakely which was largely an
indictment of the government's
alleged bungling of the Norman
case.
The statement also answered
the charges and . comments
against Norman by U. S. Senate
subcommittee counsel Robert
Morris.
The Gazette published the text
of Pearson's statement on its
editorial page without comment
Pearson's statement' empha
sized two points:
Although U. S. security ag
encies had had the information
about Norman and apparently
had "leaked"' it to the Senate
committee, the Canadian gov
ernment refused to make the in
formation public in Canada.
Pearson told the Commons
on April 12, the last day of the
session, that the Senate subcom
mittee's information on Norman
did not come from any Canadian
security source via a UnitPd
States agency.- But he admitted
Wednesday night that ' Morris
knew of the first' report which
labelled Norman a Communist.
Security Probe Held
Pearson said in his telegram
that his decision to retain Nor
man's services after Norman un
derwent a security probe in
1950-51 was taken "only ' after
a meticulous examination of the
evidence available to the inves
tigating authorities."
This information included
Norman's "associations with the
Communists during his .univer
sity days, as well as any. possible
associations subsequent to his
membership" in the External
Affairs Department.
"On the basis of investiga
tion," Pearson said, "I conclud
ed that he had had as a student
ideological beliefs which were
close to some brand of Commun
ism. I also concluded that he
regretted these earlier associa
tions and beliefs and had volun
tarily abandoned them by the
time he entered the Canadian
foreign service."
Dealing with statements by
Morris and Blakely concerning
reports that Norman was a
Communist, Pearson said:
"It is true that a report by
an RCMP secret agent mentions
Norman as a member of the
Canadian Communfst Party in
1940 and it is no doubt this re
port which was forwarded by
the RCMP in October 1950 to
appropriate agencies, to which
Mr. Blakely and Mr. Morris re
fer. "How this report became pub
lic I can only guess."
Chief Urges People
To Report Objects
Medford Police Chief Charles
Champlin today urged Medford
residents to report immediately
any objects which might be a
so-called home made bomb.
Several of the objects have
been reported in recent weeks,
Chief Champlin reminded resi
dents, and police are continuing
work on determining their
arigin. -
While the objects are crude,
they are potentially dangerous,
particularly to small children
who might pick them up, he
emphasized, He ' warned resi
dents not to get too close to any
object they suspect, but to call
the police and one of the four
officers who have been accred
ited as explosion ordinance
reconaissance agents will re
spond immediately to dispose of
the objects.

ike's Brother
Sticks To Views j.
On High Budget
- Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower's big brother. Edgar
firmly, stuck to his cut-the-
budget views today despite some
White House cooking and a pres
idential ribbing.
The Tacoma, -Wash., lawyer,
who caused a sensation Tuesday
by calling his brother's $71,800,
000,000 budget "too big," attend
ed a stag dinner at the White
House Wednesday night. His
wife? Lucy, dined upstairs in
the mansion with the First Lady.
Afterwards Edgar admitted to
reporters waiting for him at his
hotel suite" that the Chief Execu
tive and their younger brother,
Milton, kidded him about his
views on the budget.
Not Taking Advice
"But I haven't changed my
mind one bit," he said emphati
cally.
The 68-year-old lawyer, two
years older than the President,
said his brothers reminded him
'that all expenses have gone
up."
"Dwight asked me if my of
fice expenses were up," he said.
"I said I couldn't tell because
I had moved and didn't have
any means of comparing."'
He said he and Milton, presi
dent of Johns Hopkins Univer
sity, chatted with the President
for a while before the dinner.
Then, indicating the report
ers in his hotel room with a
wave of his arm, he added: "If
I'd taken their advice none of
you would be here right now."
Receives Favorable Comments .
Becoming more serious, he
motioned to a large pile of tele
grams on a coffee table.
"I've had a stack of wires and
phone calls all of which have
commended me on what I'said,"
he told newsmen. "And up to
now. nobody has called to criti
cize me."
"I was surprised at the reac
tion.' It was quite different than
I had expected."

Congress Must
Repeal Certain -Obligation
Laws
Proposal Would Reduce
Obligational Authority
Washington i(U.R) President
Eisenhower suggested to Con
gress today that his requests for
appropriations could be cut by
some $1,858,000,000.
But he said that substantial
reduction in his proposed $71,
800,000,000 spending budget for
fiscal 1958 "cannot be made" un
less Congress revises or repeals
certain laws obligating the gov
ernment to spend specific sums
for specific purposes.
What the' President proposes
to trim by $1,858,000,000 is the
so-called obligational authority
for fiscal 1958. As contained in
the budget he presented to Con
gress in January this is esti
mated at $73,300,000,000.
If the President's proposals
for reducing actual appropria
tions are carried out, the figure
for appropriations or obliga
tional authority for fiscal 1958
will be almost the same as the
estimated spending figure..
No Prompt Tax Cuts
He outlined the proposal in a
letter to Speaker Sam Rayburn
of Texas.
. Eisenhower held out some
hope over the long run for tax
cuts, but gave no support for any
reductions now.
"Given continuation of heal
thy economic growth and of
strict expenditure control," the
President said, reduction in ap
propriation requests of $1,858,
000,000 "will begin to lay a firm
fiscal foundation for . the time
when we can be sufficiently as
sured that our income will so
exceed our expenses as to jus
tify a reasonable tax cut for
every taxpayer while we con
tinue to reduce the govern
ment's debt."
Eisenhower drew a careful
distinction between cutting ex
penditures proposed in the bud
get and appropriations requests.
Wants Spending Delayed
While no substantial reduc
tions can be made in expendi
tures, he said, there is a "more
promising, outlook" . in reducing
requests for new spending au
thority. 7 '
He said budgetary reviews
since January have disclosed the
feasibility of postponing certain
requests "without. serious dam
age to program levels.
The President then suggested
these actions, some of which
previously have been - men
tioned:
Reduction by $500 million
of new spending authority for
the military assistance phase of
the mutual security program.
Reduction by $200 million
of new spending authority for
military public works. Less urg
ent projects could be delayed.
Soil Bank Cut Proposed
Reduction by $254 million
of new spending authority for
the soil bank program. This can
be brought about by new pro
jections of the program's operat
ing rate and related financial
requirements. -
Reduction of the Federal
National Mortgage Association's
spending authority of $50 mil
lion.
Reduction in new spending
authority of $25 million for col
lege housing authorizations.
Reduction in new spending
authority of $25 million through
adjustments of Corps of En
gineer construction schedules.

Big Three StilJ
Pledged To Defend
Against Aggression
Washington !U.R) The Unit
ed States, Britain and France
are still pledged to take imme
diate action to prevent - viola
tion of frontiers or armistice
lines by either Israel or the
Arab states, diplomats said to
day. The big three pledge, signed
in 1950, was weakened by the
British-French invasion of Egypt
last Oct. 31, but diplomats of the
three powers are trying to
strengthen the agreement and
put it back on the pre-invasion
footing.
President Eisenhower said
Wednesday the May 25, 1950,
three power declaration is one
of two ways the United States
could act to assist a victim of
middle eastern aggression. The
aeclaration , would apply . m
event of an "Israel-Arab dis
pute," the president said.
Action Under Doctrine
In event of a .Communist
strike against Jordan or some
other middle eastern : country,
American - action also could . be
taken under the recently ap-
proved ' "Eisenhower Doctrine,"
the President pointed out This
authorizes the President to use
American armed forces if help
is requested by mid-East nations
against a Communist attack.
- The Brjtish and French em
bassies were pleased to hear the
President say the 1950 pledge
is still in effect. Similar as
surances have been made pri
vately to Britain and France by
the State Department, it was

Faced Syrian Troops
Syria had sent in 3,000 troops
during the Israeli invasion of
Egypt. It sent in more when
Hussein fired Premier Suleiman
Nabulsi, who was pro-Syrian,
pro-Egyptian and pro-Soviet.
The reports said Hussein met
the troops and delivered the ulti

Hussein 'was backed up in his
formal action against Nuwar by
promises of aid from Iraq, hi
neighbor to the northwest that

cousin, and by promises of aid
from Saudi Arabia to the south.
He also had before him Presi

sist Jordan if it should become
the victim of aggression.
Israel Fearful -
Israeli officials, who have
backed Hussein since the start
of the crisis in belief he. did not
want war, expressed fear today
the political storm in Jordan
would erupt again, that this was
the lull before the storm.
The independent Egyptian
newspaper Al Akhbar said in
Cairo that the Jordan crisis was
the "first act" in the United
States plan to "isolate" Egypt
It predicted the Amman crisis
would explode again and said
the next week would be a cru
cial one for Jordan.
Although the Egyptian press
was declaring the United States
responsible, directly or indirect
ly, for the crisis in Jordan, the
semi-official Middle East News
Agency took a more moderate
line today. It said "good news"
will be announced shortly about
the U. S.-Egyptian negotiations
