Sen. Mansfield
Defends Changes
For Foreign Aid,
Washington- (UPD -Assistant
Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield said yester
day his plan to reshuffle the
foreign aid program and end
economic grants in three years
would make it "manageable,
saleable and understandable."
The Montana Democrat
told the Senate Friday that
failure to act might bring
next year a "tide of public
reaction so strong that it will
swamp the entire undertak
ing." Mansfield, a member of the
Foreign Relations committee,
announced he would offer
amendments to the Foreign
Aid Authorization Bill to
abolish the International Co
operation administration and
to end secrecy on military
aid spending.
His plan would put control
of the aid program' and its
personnel in the state depart
ment, but let military assist
ance be handled by the de
fense department. It would
shift the emphasis from grants
to loans.
Mansfield's plan to termi
nate grants within three
years would apply to "give
away" items for economic and
defense support assistance
gr?ns, but he explained that
need for economic and de
fense support aid could be
reduced by . "cutting excess
military forces."
Chairman J. William Ful
bright (D-Ark.) of the Foreign
Relations committee already
has offered his own foreign
aid revision plan. It calls for
a shift of emphasis to eco
nomic aid and would expand
the development loan fund
by giving "it one and a half
billion dollars a year for five
years.
Rhode Island is the smallest
of the 48 states. Its area is
about three times greater than
that of New York City.

Morse Calls for
Careful Exercise
Of Senate Duty
Senator Wavne Morse (D-
Ore.), in his weekly radio
broadcast to Oregon, called
for more careful exercise on
the part of the Senate in its
Constitutional duty in consid
ering nominations.
"I am proud of the record
I made in ODDOsition to the
nomination of Mrs. Luce,"
Morse said, "and I shall op
pose confirmation of Mr.
Lewis Strauss to be Secretary
of Commerce because I do not
believe he is competent to
perform his duties to the
credit of the public interest,
any more than Mrs. Luce
was."
Morse pointed out that the
duty of the Senate to advise
and consent to Presidential
nominations is found in
Article II of the Constitution,
which confers and describes
executive powers, not in
Article I, which confers and
describes legislative powers.
Advice, Consent Clause
"Thus, the advice and con
sent clause bestows an execu
tive function upon the Sen
ate. Under it, we are com
pelled to share with the Presi
dent the responsibility for the
quality of the people put into
these top jobs ... If an ap
pointment turns out badly for
the nation, we in the Senate
are just as responsible as the
President. We cannot approve
a person who is poorly quali
fied with the excuse that the
responsibility lies with the
President. Under the Consti
tution, it lies with he Senate
to reject such a nomination."
The purpose of the Found
ing Fathers in requiring the
advice and consent of the
Senate for nominations, he
said, was to give the Senate
a veto over the bad ones, so
the quality of persons nomin
ated by the President would
be high.
"Where we fail to reject
poor nominations, we fail to
live up to the intent of the
Constitutton."
Implications of
Sales Tax Subject
Of Dr. Woodell
Implications of the sales tax
and its effect on various
crouDs was discussed by Dr.
Marshall Woodell of Southern
Oregon college at a meetmg of
the Jackson County Demo
cratic Party central commit
tee last week.
Dr. Woodell pointed out
that three groups have his
torically opposed the sales
tax. They have, the farmers
and Granges, the labor move
ment, and the classical econo
mists and political scientists.
These groups, he said, believe
the sales tax . is heavier on
the lower income groups pro
portionately than on the high
er income groups. .
Recently, however, there
has been a renewed interest
in the sales tax, Dr. Woodell
said, because of the increased
services offered by govern
mental agencies.
Taxation Methods
The government, Jie noted,
has four basic 'taxation meth
ods. They are the property
tax, the income tax, the sale
tax and the privilege tax.
In Oregon, Dr. Woodell
said, 76 per cent of the rev
enue is raised by the property
and income taxes. The other
24 per cent is raised by sales
and privilege taxes.
Dr. Woodell noted that, ac
cording to the Sly report, Ore
gon at the present time has
a sound basis of taxation. 4
Both property and income
taxes are considered progres
sive, because they tax a per
son's ability to pay, be said.
A sales tax, used in combina
tion with property and income
taxes, is much less insidious
than a sales tax used as the
only source of revenue.
Produced Revenue
He said 40 per cent of Ore
gon's revenue is produced by
people in the $10,000 to $40,
000 income bracket, and a
sales tax, exempting food and
other necessities, would not be
too regressive in tendency. It
would produce between $61
and $65 million annually,
which can not be ignored, he
added.
The chief criticisms of the
sales tax are that it is unpre
dictable, expensive to collect
and lends itself easily to
cheating, he said. The argu
ments for the sales tax are
that it is an excellent revenue
producer, being a fairly sta
ble tax, it is needed to bal
ance the present tax structure,
and it is relatively painless,
he added.
He noted that Oregon resi
dents have voted down the
sales tax five times.
The beginning of the Ameri
can school system was in Bos
ton where in 1635 a school
master was employed to give
instruction to children who
lived in the pioneer settlement.
Woodland Owners Get $813,685
Salem-Farm woodland
owners of the state received
an income of $813,685 from
the sale of forest products
during the nine-mnth period
of the current fiscal year, ac
cording to Assistant ' State
Forester Don Maus. This was
nearly double that for the
similar period during the pre
vious fiscal year, he added.
The sale of stumpage
brought in $563,360 which in
cluded 14,875 thousand board
feet of sawlags, 3,205 cords of
pulpwood and fuel wood,
1,850 pieces of piling and
7,300 posts and poles.
One of the surprising items
of income was in miscellane
ous products which was made
up almost entirely of Christ
mas trees with a total of $91,
226. The income from this
source for the previous year
was $42,029, Mays said.

Holdouts of World War II
Sought in Jungle Hideout
Manila . (UPD A Japanese
task force sailed for Lubang
Islands yesterday determined
to contact two soldiers who
believe they're still fighting
World War II.
The group was headed by
psychological warfare expert
Yuzo Miura of the Japanese
Welfare ministry. It was ex
pected to arrive at Lubang
early today and establish base
camp. 1
The searchers are prepared
to spend two months, if nec
essary, in their effort to bring
Lt. Hiroo Onoda and Sgt.
Kinshichi KotsuRa back to
civilization.
An earlier attempt to con
tact the two holdouts ended
last Sunday when the task
force was ambushed by an
angry swarm of bees.
Miura was hospitalized
with more than 1,000 bee
stings. Two accompanying
Japanese reporters also re
quired medical treatment.
. This time the expedition is
carrying additional personnel
and 60 tons of equipment and
supplies, including bee-proof
head nets.
Once established on Lu
bank, a mountainous jungle
island 30 miles off the mouth
of Manila bay," the Japanese
planned to install a network
oi powerful loud-speakers for
broadcasting messages to the
stragglers. They also will set
up postoff ice boxes contain
ing written messages.
The Japanese consul gen
eral in Manila, Shichiro Kono,
is a member of the task force.
