Unander Sees
Eventual Sales
Tax in Oregon
Salem -dTB- Is Oregon to
have a sales tax? According
to State Treasurer Sig Unan-der-yes.
"It's a mathematical real
ity," he said today. "The peo
ple aren't going to put up with
any more property tax.
We've gone as far as we can
go with the income tax. A
sales tax seems to be the only
untapped field, providing it is
not an additional tax."
Unander said that if a sales
tax were put to a vote of the
people right now, it would be
voted down. "But later on,
when the issues are clearly
defined and the need spelled
out, I think it will get in. A
ales tax is inescapable in the
future."
Pearson Plan Praisad
He said that Senate Pres
ident Walter Pearson's "ap
proach" to the problem "is ex
cellent." Pearson has suggest
ed that the question be put
to the electorate in 1961 in a
special election. Pearson sug
gested that several programs
be offered so that voters can
decide what kind of a tax pro
gram they want.
Unander said "competent
revenue forecasts project a
major increase in expendi
tures. They range from an in
crease of $40 to $50 million to
meet general fund require
ments over the next bien
nium." "The need is there but has
not been clearly demonstrated
to the people," he said. "What
the people really want,"
SUSPEND 11 GUARDS
Raiford, FlaOIPD - Eleven
guards, under indictment for
alleged brutality to prisoners,
were suspended Wednesday
at th'e Florida state prison
here. The eleven were among
14 men indicted Tuesday by
a federal grand ; jury, "on
charges of brutality.
Unander said, "is a moderate
and balanced tax program.
This can be seen with a fact
ual, objective point of view."
He declined to say specifi
cally whether he personally
favored a sales tax.

U.S. Leadership
Claim in Nuclear
Field Challenged
Washington - (UPD - Two
Democratic Senators today
challenged the administra
tion's claim that the United
States leads the Soviet Union
in means of delivering nuclear
weapons.
Sens. Mike Mansfield (D
Mont.) and Albert Gore (D
Tenn.) disputed the statement
by Defense Secretary Thomas
S. Gates that this country
leads Russia "both with re
spect to nuclear weapons and
the means of their delivery."
Gore said that Gates, who
gave the assurance yesterday
to the NATO Council of Min
isters in Paris, seemed "to
overlook two things."
Russia's Advantage
The Tennesseean, a member
of the Congressional Atomic
Knergy Committee, said that
these two points were "Rus
sia's lead in rocketry" and
"the effectiveness of anti-aircraft
weapons against planes."
"Both operate to Russia's
advantage," Gore said.
Gore said he was "inclined
to believe that the secretary
was right in his assumption"
that this country is superior
to Russia in stockpile and
quality of nuclear weapons.
No Exact Knowledge
"However, that is an opin
ion," he said. "Neither he nor
anyone else in the government
has any exact knowledge of
the stockpile or quality of
Soviet nuclear weapons."
Mansfield said he "would
doubt" the Gates statement.
The assistant Senate Demo
cratic leader said "the Rus
sians are ahead of us" in the
fields of intercontinental bal
listic missiles and space rock
ets. ' "If we do not wake up, we
are in danger of becoming a
second class nation," Uans-field-said.
