(International) HoSrneS; Unander Disagree on State lax Structure Effect Klamath Falis HP Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes and State Treas urer Sig Unander disagreed Monday on the efcect of Oregon's tax structure as they spoke to delegates at the State0 Labor Council conventiAi here. Gov. Holmes, a Democrat, PL tacked "gloom and doom spread ers" who "cry that Oregon's tax structure is so terrible only .the witless would invest money in the state." Holmes spoke a. few minutes ST after State Treasurer ' Sig Unan der, a Republican, said the pres ent ax structure had caused firms to leave Oregon, prevented others from expanding and kept others from Oregon. The gover nor did not hear Unander's talk. Holmes said industries did consider tax rates in determin ing expansions but that "we can resolve to talk accurately about taxation and we can resolve to talk about it as only one item in the long list of questions .we Murder Indictments Voted Against Girl, Three Jail Inmates Redwood City, Calif. Wi San Mateo County Grand Jury voted murder indictments Mon day night against a teen-age girl and three county jail prisoners. The girl, 19-year-old Elaine Change in Policy o Of Federal Land 'Grab' Requested Washington Rep. Clair Ingle (D-Calif.) called today for revision of an "outmoded" fed eral policy which he sai per mits government agencies to "grab" large amounts of public lands without congressional ap proval. Engle asked in letters to In terior Secretary Fred A. Seaton and Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson for a "time out" in distribution of land to govern ment departments. The congressman, chairman of the House Interior Committee, complained that the current fed eral land and resources policy is "an outmoded, piecemeal, every gency for itself approach. More Land Listed He said proposals pending be fore Congress or in the Interior and Agriculture departments would add "more than 100 mil lion acres of federal lands to the millions of acres already locked up in single purpose or limited use purpose status." "The area listed for lock-up is the equivalent of a belt of land more than 50 miles wide extend ing from New York to San Fran cisco," he said. Engle said further that Con gress is being asked to "acqui esce" to federal agency requests for land "without being in formed of their over-all re sources policies in sufficient de tail to intelligently judge the soundness of those policies." The Soule of Freeport, N.Y., was ac cused of bludgeoning her room m a t e, Catherine 'Elvins of Seattle, Wash., with a flatiron, then stabbing her. The slaying took place July 24 in the apartment the two girls shared in Burlingame, an attractive suburban community about 20 miles from San Francisco. Had To Get" Check The reason? Miss Soule "just had to get" a $160 check Miss Elvins had received from her pother. The other slaying took place in ban Mateo county jail here July 27. A "kangaroo court" of six prisoners decreed death for Robert Young, a 38-year-old vagrant. Three prisoners, two of whom served as "judge" and "prosecutor"- jn the "trial" carried out the I sentence. They strangled Young. The other three prison ers hid their faces to avoid watching the grisly sight. ine reason? Young was in hospitable." The truth of the matter was he was deaf and could not hear the taunts of his cellmates. Moreover, it is likely he did not even know he was being "tried" by a kangaroo court. ' " Miss boule was arraigned a few days later for slaying Miss Elvins. She had only one thing to say. When Municipal Judge J. A. Branson of San Mateo pro nounced her name Miss Soul, she interrupted to correct him. "Su-lay," she said, her face expressionless. As for the three county jail prisoners, Redwood City Police Chief William . Faulstich said "they have no more remorse than if they had just killed a fly."

Morgan Criticized Bill Way, president of the i'ortland Central Labor Council, san he talked with Holmes m a private "gripe" session and told the governor he was dissatis fied with Howard Morgan, state public utilities commissioner. Way said he told Holmes that Morgan did organized labor a "disservice" by appearing volun tarily before the Senate Rackets Committee last spring. He said Holmes defended Morgan, agru ing that Morgan was speaking as a private citizen when he tes tified. The governor also said Morgan is doing a "fine job" as utilities commissioner, Way said. The gripe session was called by George Brown, director of political education for the AFL CIO Council,-, who asked the press not to attend so labor dele gates might speak more freely. Way also has- been critical re cently of Attorney General Rob ert Y.

PICK'S Tremendous PICK -OF - THE - SEASON Senate Ordered To Investigate REA Loan Policies Washington HPI Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) today ordered an immediate Senate in vestigation into loan policies of the Rural Electrification Admin istration. He said it has been charged that authority to approve REA loans over $500,000 has shifted from the REA administrator to a low-ranking aide in the Agri culture Department. Humphrey, Chairman of a .Senate Government Operations Subcommittee, said he wanted to find out if the allegations are correct. Such an entirely new policy would be without "advance no tice to the Congress, farming organizations affected, or the general public," Humphrey said in a statement. Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson has been asked to ex plain the reported REA move before the subcommittee Friday, Humphrey said. He cited a recent magazine article as the source of the re ported transfer of authority. The specific individual in volved in the allegations, Humphrey said, is former Re publican Rep. Wesley d'Ewart of Montana, now assistant to the di rector of agricultural credit services in .the Agriculture De partment. He called d'Ewart a "public power foe." w ii y y POOLS O LOW COST O Gunnite Construction (pneumatic applied concrete) Twice the compressive strength of ordinary concrete. 16' x 32' with compact skim- filter tile, coping stone trim, steps at shallow end.
