Senate Votes Cut
En Tax on Trucks;
SVJay Be Reviewed
Salem-IUPD-The Oregon Sen
ate, by a vote ot 24-5, late
Wednesday approved a $1 mil
lion a year tax break for
heavy truckers.
Son. Richard Groener (D
Milwaukie) termed it a "fraud"
and indicated he may demand
reconsideration Friday. Mean
while many legislators were
-bombarded with phone calls
and messages urging recon
sideration. Some of this pres
sure came from the Associn
lion of Oregon Counties.
Groener said if his effort
fails, he will fight the bill
in the House.
Wi Hours of Wrangling
The measure, SB32, passed
after l'A hours of wrangling,
mainly between Groener and
Sen. Anthony Yturrl (R-On-tario).
Yturrl was chairman of the
highways committee which in
troduced the bill and head of
the Interim committee which
recommended It.
A call of the House wa
ordered and the doors were
locked while the one absent
member, Sen. Thomas R. Ma
hnney (D-Portland) was round
ed up. Sen. Robert While
(R-Salem) was excused.
Those voting no were Sens.
Alice Corbett, Carl Francis,
Donald Husband, Ben Musa
and Francis Ziegler.
Sen. Lyn Newbry (H-Jack-son)
voted in favor of the
measure.
Groener had voted no but
he changed it to aye to enable
him to file for reconsidera
tion. The measure would cut the
weight mile tax for trucks
44,000 pounds and over. This
would cost the state about $1
million a year but Yturri said
heavy truckers already are
paying more than their share
and the tax cut Is "just and
equitable."
Close to 39 Per Cent
Yturri said the theory Is
that trucks should pay one
third of the cost of highways
through the weight mile tax
but it actually figures out to
be closer to 39 per cent.
Sen, Al Flcgel (D-Roseburg)
declared that the Slate High
way Department "has more
money than it knows what to
do with." The Oregon High
way Commission opposes the
bill.
Rusk Declares Nasser Government Playing Dangerous

Teacher Prefers
Laboratory Odors
Salem - (UP1) - A Portland
chemistry teacher gave the
Senate local government com
mittee a tongue lashing to
day, and said he preferred
the worst odors of his labora
tory to the "sour smells" of
open air burning in Portland.
The testimony from Ernest
Hasse, instructor at Mult
nomah College, came as the
committee opened hearings on
two air pollution bills.
One, SB40, urged by the
State Sanitary Authority,
would give the agency broad
powers to set and enforce
anti-air pollution standards
throughout the state.
The second, SB145, pro
posed by the City of Portland,
also would authorize the SSA
to set standards. But the SSA
said It would give virtually
no control over two of the
worst pollution sources -urban
renewal and highway
demolition burning - because
of exemptions in the bill.

group in Stanleyville led by
Congolese Communist Ant
oine Gizenga.
The U.A.R. was the first
nation to follow Russia's lead
in recognizing Gizenga as suc

Lumumba after the Soviet
Union demanded that United
Nations forces be pulled out

General Dag Hammarskjold

Boy Tells Police
Of Luring Girl To
Death Near Reddinq
Redding, Calif. -HOT- Shasta
County Sheriff John Balma
said today a 15-ycar-old boy
has given a "fairly complete
statement" in the sex-slaying
of little Vlcki Lee Morris.
The battered body of the
eight-year-old girl was found
near a logging road Friday.
She disappeared Tuesday
while on her way home from
a school valentine party. '
Admitted Luring Girl
The sheriff said the youth,
a high school freshman and
neighbor of the slain girl at
the nearby community of An
derson, admitted he lured
Vicki into the wooded area
with the intention of raping
her.
Balma said the boy ad
mitted removing the child's
underclothing but said he did
not rape her because he be
came frightened. The youth
said he "thought" he was the
one who crushed her head
with a large rock, but that
he couldn't remember.
He told police he saw Vicki
walking home from school and
called her into the densely-
wooded area to help him
"carry something." He said
he helped her through a barb
ed wire fence so she wouldn't
tear her party dress.
Joined in Search
The youth told the sheriff
he later left the scene and
joined some 160 men in the
all-night search for the miss
ing girl.
He was among a group of
Vicki's friends and neighbors
brought in for questioning
about the murder. Authorities
fplt that she had been killed
by someone she knew, because
there was no sign of a struggle.
Balma said the killer used
a 25-pound rock to bludgeon
the victim's head. It was
found near the body.
have told the committee that
the statement President Ken
nedy delivered at Wednes
day night's news conference
was directed about as much
at the U.A.R. as the Soviet
Union, although he did not
mention the Nasser government.
American officials said they
had definite evidence that at
least five or six truck loads
of Soviet bloc arms and am
munition had reached Gizen
ga in Stanleyville in recent
days.
The government of the Su
dan, whose territory must be
crossed by vehicles going
from the U.A.R. to the Congo,
has made strenuous efforts to
prevent such traffic. How
ever, American officials said
the trucks had moved on
some of the many back roads
in the area which make it dif
