' By an 8-1 vote the court ruled Monday that a Chicago Negro may use the 1871 Civil Rights Act to sue 13 police officers who broke into his home, ransacked the rooms and abused his family. Them an, James Monroe, was questioned for 10 hours at the police station about a murder, with no help from a Seminar Scheduled For Organized Labor .

The majority, for whom Justice William O. Douglas spoke, said Monroe could not sue the city itself but he could sue the Individuals con cerned, Douglas brushed aside the city's argument that the only remedy is in state courts. The decision was one of numerous actions by the court on its return from a four week recess. Dismissal Bus Con Of interest at a time when the Kennedy administration's aid to education bill is before Congress was the court's dis missal of a school bus case. Taxpayers in Newtown, Conn., had challenged a law allowing free 'transportation to pupils of Roman Catholic and all other non-profit paro chial schools. The court said the case did not present "n substantial federal question." The effect was to (1) make final a state court decision upholding the law and (2) leave unchanged the Supreme Court's own 1947 decision sanctioning use of public funds for getting Catholic pu oils backi and forth, from their schools. , The court agreed to look into the job security afforded under the'government- approved merger of the Erie Railroad with the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. It froze the status of the work ers so none would be fired at least until the case is settled. In another case important Klamath Man To Be Udall Aide Washington -0IPII- Interior Secretary Stewart L.

JACKSON ST. 501 eery stores, hardware stores, jewelers and retail trade bu reaus said fear of accumulat ing large taxable stocks at the end of the year stifled busi ness all the way down the line from the manufacturer to retail outlet. Even witnesses such as doc tors, accountants and repre sentatives of service industries -who would pay more on in come than on Inventory agreed the change would be fairer and healthier for Ore gon's business climate. Main dissent to the bill came on the section to distrib ute the new tax, with 85 per cent going into school funds and 15 per cent to cities. Portland City Attorney Alex Brown said Portland would lose nearly a million dollars under that distribution formula, and warned other property taxpayers would have to pay some 6 per cent more to make up the differ ence. Would Exclude Farms As it now stands, the bill would apply only to inventor ies - merchandise, finnshed factory goods, and other items for sale. It also would exclude farms. Rep. Victor Atiyeh (R-Port- land), a member of the com mittee, proposed extending the repeal to all personal prop erty - a change that would take in movable equipment, office and hotel furnishings. He also proposed including farms, and was supported by Barry Brownell of the Oregon Farm Bureau Federation. Atiyeh said this would re quire close to a 3 per cent business income tax to make up the lost revenue. Spokesmen for noteis said this would be much fairer, since lodgings have no inven tories, but pay a heavy per sonal property tax on room furnishings. Otherwise, hotel association witnesses said, they would simply be saddled with an additional tax on top of the personal property tax. Atiyeh also proposed a new distribution formula leading to return of 30 per cent of the revenue to counties and cities. tfj 88 "Satisfaction guaranteed oryour money back" SERVICE CENTER PHONE SP 3-6661 Wa or confessing eur mistakes, join the revo lution, look for the balloons and special Helots throughout the st J IT'S d EVOLUTION Colorful roo Ikai of flowers which bloomed at Valley Forge . . . frost bitten, wilted, bat tle scarred.
