urer Sig Unander disagreed
Monday on the efcect of Oregon's
tax structure as they spoke to

Council conventiAi here.

ers" who "cry that Oregon's tax

the state."
Holmes spoke a. few minutes

after State Treasurer ' Sig Unan
der, a Republican, said the pres

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."
They are Dan Lee Howard

ought to be able to answer about
our state."
Secretary of State Mark Hat
field urged labor to get behind
the drive for new industry.
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. Thornton.

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."
