amended to set aside the
hospital annex built in 1937
as an outpatient clinic for
treatment of tubercular pati
ents. 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

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.

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.

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.,
