An attempt by Musa to haye the bill referred back to the Ways and Means Com mittee to have" the amend ment inserted failed. Safeguards Written Durno said no persons held by a court on a criminal charge could be admitted to the facility. He said a further safeguard has been written in the bill allowing the superin tendent of the new home to return a transferee to the in stitution from which he came if he felt it necessary. Durno said both Fairview home and the State hospitals were crowded and the facility at The Dalles with a starting population would help relieve this condition. Sen. Jean Lewis (D-Port-land) paid tribute to Sen. Musa and his wife, Rep. Kath erine Musa. She said they were merely expressing their own firm convictions but ad ded the bill had protective features to safeguard the people of The Dalles if the home is established. In addition to Musa the sen ators voting against the bill were Alice Corbett (D-Port-land); Richard Groener (D Milwaukie; Andrew Naterlin (D-Newport) Boyd Overhulse (D - Madras) and Monroe Sweetland (D-Milwaukie). Rep. Barton Lauds House Tax Program Salem (UPD The House tax ation program would give Or egon "the most equitable, the most broadly-based, the most growth-inspiring and the most flexible program the state has ever had," Rep. Clarence Bar ton (D-Coquille) said Tuesday. Barton, chairman of the House Tax Committee, is architect of much of the House package. While Barton commented, the S e n a t e Tax Committee had the House tax proposals under scrutiny. The Senate group later drastically amend ed the House plan. Batron said of the House tax plan: "Our tax program this year strides toward our goal of equalizing taxes to conform with ability to pay, of broadening the tax base to spread tax responsibility and of helping industry to di versify and grow. Sev Lynns, C0PCO Horn n. 3m . . - m MAIL TRIBUNE. Medfwd, Or. Wednesday, April 29, 1939 Mars 'Lowlands' May be Suitable For Exploration Los Angeles -(UPD- Man may be able to exist without a space suit for short periods of time in the "lowlands" of Mars, America's "first pro fessor of space medicine" said Tuesday at the 30th meeting of the Aero-Medical associa tion. However, man. still would need a "pressure - breathing oxygen mask" such as used in today's high-flying airplanes, Dr. Hubertus Strughold, re search advisor to the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine, Texas, told a press conference. Would Simplify Mission "It might be advisable for a space ship to land in the low lands of Mars, despressed areas at least 3000 to 5000 feet deeper than the general Mars level," Strughold said. He indicated this would simplify the mission of the first Mars explorers, meaning perhaps they could leave their space ship, and explore with out a cumbersome suit in the daytime, returning to the ship at night. Strughold and his col league, Col. Paul A. Camp bell, chief of the school's space medical division, said that in the Mars lowlands the "climate" might be similar to an altitude of 40,000 feet above earth. Forced Into Lungs They said it is known that man can adapt himself to live at that height with only a mask feeding him oxygen under pressure. In breathing oxygen under pressure, the oxygen actually is partially forced into the lungs because there is not enough outside atmospheric pressure to help man breathe, they explained. The two add ed that man would never be able to breathe the Mars at mosphere because it contains too much carbon dioxide.

Servic Drtcfor 6 Tax Program Still Pe 106th Day of Session By EVELYN NYE Representative from Jackson County This (Monday) is the 106th day of the session and the most important legislation e x p e cted to come out of it - a tax pro gram is still to be agreed upon,,d u e to the intra - par ty conflict raging among the Demo crats. Eve Nye x ii e cnan- man of the Senate Taxation committee has insisted from the beginning that they would write the tax program al though of course by . law it must originate in the House, and as of now the job is theirs. I only hope that they can do what the House tried but could not do. We passed on Saturday afternoon, over heavy Repub lican -objection, a tax pro gram which would, as one Re publican member of the House Tax committee said, "broaden the base at the top end." This would completely reverse the recommendations of Dr. Sly, of former Gover nor Holmes, and of Governor Hatfield, all of whom have in sisted that to maintain the high standards of service which Oregon citizens de mand, a tax program must be adopted which requires some participation by everyone who has an income and bene fits from government services. Accepts Principle This does not mean a "soak the poor and save the rich" philosophy. Rather, it accepts the principle that every citi zen who is earning money has an obligation to his govern ment in accordance with his ability to pay. A couple of days earlier, the House Taxation commit tee had unanimously passed out for the approval of the Assembly, a bill which em bodied this principle to a con siderable degree, but the Democrats, in caucus, rejected it completely because organ ized labor objected, and the bill was taken from the calen dar and sent back to commit tee. The bill which came out as a substitute put the burden right back on the people who are now carrying it, and this is the bill which was passed and sent to the Senate. It is our hope that they will re write it, as they have Indi cated. Hatfield Plan The Hatfield plan, prin ciples of which were em bodied in the first bill, called for a one per cent tax on all net receipts from personal in come, plus a graduated rate schedule of from one per cent to seven per cent on taxable income after deducting cer tain exemptions and credits. There are aspects of this plan that many people do not like, but it has the virtue of flexi bility and would, we believe, provide a basis of support for state services which would grow with the State, includ ing some much needed in crease in basic school support funds, and would avoid the regressive features of a sales tax. Contrary to some published opinions, Governor Hatfield is not ignoring the needs of education in his recommenda tion of a tax progarm, but has taken the position that we must develop a tax base which can provide the funds needed not only this year but in sub sequent years. Were this pro gram to be adopted by this legislature,, it is confidently predicted that the Basic School Fund could receive an increase of $10 per census child in this biennium. Let me explain Here that the $30 payment per census child mentioned by the papers in connection with House Bill 512, which provides for a Wi per cent business tax to re place funds which would be lost by revoking the inventory tax, would be a replacement on account of tax base reduc tion in the counties, and not an increase in Basic School Support Fund. Probably Dead Issue The sales tax is probably a dead issue after passing the Democrat controlled Senate with only 'two dissenting votes. Clarence Barton, Demo crat chairman of the House Taxation committee, doesn't like it, and that means that it will probably not get out of committee. This is another instance of the feuding within the party Bills passed with strong sup port in one House are prompt ly tabled in the other House not on their merit, in some in stances, but through personal pique, retaliation, etc., etc. This was demonstrated again recently when Senate Presi dent Walter Pearson sent to the State and Federal Affairs committee of the Senate, the House - passed budget for higher education, in spite of the fact that Representatives Keith Skelton and Clarence Barton, both Democrats and members of the Ways and Means committee which had approved the budget, had spoken strongly on the floor of the House in favor of it. The State and Federal Affairs committee, I might add, is the burial ground for bills which the President of the Senate doesn't like. This one won't be buried, of course, but it will undoubtedly be reduced in Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Miami Beach-J. Simpson Dean, on his son-in-law, New York socialite F. Haring Chandor, who fled to Caracas, Vene zuela, with his five-year-old son, Peter: "Chandor is using $107,000 he has taken from my daugh ter to defray the expenses of getting hold of Peter. He hasn't a penny of his own money. He's never worked." Warsaw - Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, warning the West against making any unilateral moves prior to the Geneva foreign ministers' conference: "It is important for the success of the conference that no body should take any one-sided steps before it starts." Washington-Republican National Chairman Thruston B. Morton, cautioning members of the U.S. Chamber of Com merce not to pin a "business" label on the GOP: "It would be disastrous for the nation and for the party itself if any single economic, racial, regional, or religious group were to win unchallenged control of the Republican party." Washington-President Eisenhower, expressing to Gov. J. P. Coleman of Mississippi his hopes for the quick capture of the men who kidnaped a Negro from a Poplarville, Miss., jail cell: "It is my earnest hope that there will be swift apprehen sion of the guilty persons." i -ht f a tar n oi a a i i i i l i REMNANTS First Quality Assorted Prints Some Wash 'n Wear , Crease-Resistant Materials A Big Value Ladies' Brassieres Discontinued Numbers of Regular $1.00 Brassieres.
