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.

Speak for Repeal of
Business Inventory Tax
Salem - (UPII - Large and
small Oregon businessmen
called overwhelmingly Mon
day for repeal of the business
inventory tax, which one wit
ness termed "discriminatory
to the point of threatening dis
aster to firms that carry
many inventory items on
hand.
Most witnesses told the
House Taxation ' Committee
during a four-hour hearing
they liked an even broader
proposal to do away with the
personal property tax alto
gether.
The testimony came on HB-

Local Air Traffic
Above A Year Ago
Air traffic was up last
month over the same month
a year ago at Medford's mu
nicipal airport, but passenger
traffic was down, according to
Airport Manager Gil Gutjahr's
monthly report.
A total of 3,453 flights were
recorded at the airport during
January, an increase of 467
over the number of flights
recorded during January,
1960. Of this total, 619 flights
were commercial, 2,800 were
civil and 34 were military.
The total number of passen
gers facilitated by the airport
last month was 3,380, a drop
of 862 from January 1960 s
total. Last month's total was
increase of 431 over the
December, 1960, total, how
ever. Air freight and air express
were both up last month from
the total of a year ago. Freight
totaled 18,513 pounds last
month, compared to 13,842
pounds a year ago; and ex
press totaled 3,067 pounds last
month, compared to 2,543
pounds a year ago.
The airport collected $3,913
in revenue last month, of
which $629 was in landing
fees, according to the report.

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.
