Casualties
Mar Tussle
At Salem
By UNITED PRESS
Yakima's lowly Bears slapped
Eugene down from a share of
the Northwest league lead Thurs
day, 6-1., to break a seven-game
Emerald winning streak.
Two-time losers to Lewiston,
Wenatchee solved the Bronc rid
dle, 11-1, to sit alone at the top
while Salem edged Tri-City, 10
9, in a casualty marred affair.
Pitcher Don Orwieler's one-hit
effort and Herm Lewis' two dou
bles and a triple lifted the cellar
Bears to dizzying heights, their
third win in second-half action
against eight defeats.
Lost Hat Trick
The Broncs lost their hat trick
against Don Bailey's six-hit
pitching. Wenatchee boosted its
record to 9-2 as Bailey struck
out eight and walked nary a
man. It was his fourth win
against two losses.
Rogello Alvarez and Don
Lundberg. who had a perfect 4-4
night at the plate, homered for
the Chiefs.
A youngster fell off the score
board in the fifth inning down
at Salem to hold up the game
for 10 muiutes. Later, Umpire
Tony Ahumada collapsed, but
returned to finish calling the
;' game. And finally, Tri-City's
Lou Hague knocked himself cold
. as he ran into a fence in quest
of a ball.
Salem sewed it up In the bot
tom of the ninth when Larry
Segovia hit a double against the
left centerfield fence to .score
Terry Maddox.

NLRB Slates Hearing
In Portland Tuesday
Portland IP The National
Labor Relations Board has
scheduled a hearing here next
Tuesday to probe NLRB charges
that a contract between Asso
ciated General Contractors and
the Teamsters Union violates
the Taft-Hartley act.
The hearing could result In
voiding of a pact vhich governs
relations between several local
contractors and hundreds of
Teamsters, officials said.
Thomas P. Graham, regional
NLRB director, complained that
the contract gives the union
power to determine eligibility of
job applicants. The hearing was
set after charges were made that
a driver was denied a job on
the Swift dam project near Criu
gar. Wash., because he was not
a member of a certain iocal.
Argentine Actor To

ond and third place teams col
liding and two other aggrega
tions trying to bust a deadlock.
The schedule is Medford Che
ney Studs at Grants Pass, Cave
Junction at Glefidale and Camp
White versus Ashland-Talent at
Ashland.
Medford goes Into the second
half of the schedule the unbeat
en leader while Grants Pass
brings up the rear with only one
victory. The hard-swatting Studs
whipped Grants Pass 17 to 10
in the previous outing" with the
Merchants coming back strong
after Medford took an 11 to 0
lead. GP will try for a better
start this time.
Out of league action since
June 26,. the Studs are expected
to be toughed by seven conflicts
against strong opposition from
outside the circuit. ,
One Game Behind
Jerry Bartow is the probable
Medford pitcher while Merchant
chucker likely will be chosen
from among Larry Cochell, Jim
Smith and Don Jacobson.
Cave Junction, like the Studs,
a heavy hitting crew, is rated as
having tthe best chance of catch
ing the Medford nine, being only
one game behind. But the Out
laws could run into trouble
against third-place G 1 e n d a 1 e
which looms stronger after a
slow start. Cave Junction was
hard put to get its earlier 10 to
9 nod over the Loggers.
The Camp White-Talent ruck
us is still listed a toss-up despite
the 6 to 0 win by the Whiters
last Wednesday in the circuit.
Gene Parent probably will be
on the hill for Talent with the
Veterans Administration domi
ciliary ' thrower to be picked
from among Jim Kelly, Don
Sanford, Frad Herrmann and
Bill Seymour.
The tie at fourth among Camp
White. Talent and Butte Falls
is certain to be broken since
Butte Falls has a bye while the
other two are battling.

Doug Ford
Shares Lead
In Canadian
Kitchener, Ont. W Doug
Ford of Mahopac, N.Y., who ad
mits he's "playing like gang
busters now," shared the lead
with two tall Texans today as
the field teed off for the third
round of the Canadian Open
golf championship.
Ford, Freddie Hawkins of El
Paso, Tex., and Henry Ransom,
a Texas cattle rancher playing
out of St. Louis, Mo., reached
the halfway mark of the 72-hole
tournament Thursday with ag
gregate scores of 136.
Just a stroke off the pace with
137,5 were Ed (Porky) Oliver,
Pat Schwab, Bill Casper Jr., Bo
Wininger, and Gay Brewer Jr.,
who moved up among the lead
ers Thursday with a six-under-par
65 following a first round
72.
Grouped at 138, two shots
back, were giant George Bayer,
little-known John Knight and
Moe Norman, the local hero who
won the Canadian amateur
championship twice before being
suspended by the Royal Cana
dian Golf association last winter
for financial irregularities.
Utility Property Tax
In County Unchanged
New Jersey Parkway
Ups Safety Record
Red Bank, N.J. IIP) The New
Jersey Highway authority re
ported today that the Garden
State parkway, the nation's saf
est super-highway in 1955 and
1956, was even safer during the
first half of 1957.
The authority said that in the
six-month period ended June 30
there were three pedestrian
deaths and only two motorist fa
talities on the parkway, despite
a four million vehicle increase
in traffic volume.
During the first half of 1956.
there were seven traffic fatali
ties for a traffic volume of 21
million vehicles.
Salem The state tax com
mission's recently approved
policy of gradual reduction in
utility property taxes will result
in no change for assessments in
Jackson rountv this vear com
pared to last year.
I Jackson county is among five
i counties in Oregon in which the
;new policy will result in no im
! mediate change. The 1957 as
signed utility ratio here is 36
'per cent, the same as in 1956.
I County posted ratio in 1956 re
jmains at 30 per cent, the same
jas last year. Other counties in
j which no change will be evident
this year are Clatsop, Klamath,
Polk and Union.
The commission has been at
tempting for some time to bring
utility property assessments in
line with assessments for other
types of property.
Previous Policy
Previous commission policy
would have brought about full
equalization in a single step this
year, the commission said. But
a substitute plan, embodied in
House Joint Resolution 44, was
proposed and approved by the
House. In the closing days of
the session, the proposal failed
to clear the Senate, but since
that time approval of the policy
contained in the resolution has
been obtained from those in a
position to advise the commis
sion, it said.
The basic purpose of the new
plan is to slow the reductions so
a minimum of "unanticipated
economic hardships' will result.
There is no contention that the
equalization should not be made,
it was explained, but the com
mission feels it should be con
ducted over a longer period of
time to allow a minimum dis
ruption of the taxing processes.
To carry out this policy, the
commission this year made ad
justments in the relationship of
each of the counties so they will
be the same amount out of line
with locally-assessed property.
In subsequent years, the plan is
to reduce the ratios by a definite
amount each year.
Assigned Ratio
This year the ratios are ap
proximately 120 per cent of the
ratios posted by assessors and
used on locally-assessed prop
erty. This means utilities will
pay 20 per cent more than other
classes of property. Each year,
hereafter, the assigned ratio will
be reduced by 5 per cent so next
year the calculation will be on
the basis of 115 per cent of the
posted ratio, unless there are
other factors affecting the
figure.
Statewide, the ratios show a
general reduction of about 5 per
cent less than last year, the com
mission pointed out. However,
not all counties were reduced.
Eleven were increased from 1
to 3 ratio points. Twenty showed
decreases ranging from 9 points
in Gilliam county, 6 points in
Jefferson county, 5 points in
Baker county, down to a 1 point
drop for several other counties.
Among owners of Jackson
county property classified as
utility are California-Oregon
Power company. Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company,
Southern Pacific, Columbia
Utility .company, and several
others.
The first bananas to arrive in
New York were included in a
shipment arriving from Cuba in
1804.

News Vendor Wins Right To Own Corner
Portland IW News vendor
Max Stone won a victory over
big business here Thursday
when the Portland city council
abandoned other matters and
took up the question of Stone's
right to sell newspapers at the
corner he has called his own for
37 years.
Max took his fight for the cor
ner to the council after the Rich
Cigar Store, Inc., which also
sells newspapers, announced it
was moving its business near
Max's corner.
The council listened to attor
neys and labor leaders for two
hours before agreeing to let
Max stay on his corner with a
city license provided he works
out a mutually satisfactory
agreement with his new neigh
bors who sought to have him
evicted from his spot of sidewalk.
The domestic reindeer was In
troduced into North America
from Siberia, by way ot Alaska,
in 1891.
