Senate Passes Bill To Relieve Officials of
Assessing Property Not Actually Taxed
Salem - (DPI) - The Oregon
Senate, by a vote of 18-9, to-
day passed and sent to the
House a bill relieving county
assessors of the responsibility
of assessing property that is
not actually taxed.
This would apply to all
property now exempt.
Sen. William Grenfell Jr.
CD-Portland) said this would
make Oregon citizens "highly
: uninformed" on just what is
exempt. He tried to get the
, bill, SB83, rereferred to com
mittee but this failed..
Sen. Donald. Husband' (It
Eugene), while voting for the
bill, noted that Oregon now
has $9 billion worth of prop
erty subject to ad valorem
taxation but $8.6 billion of it
is exempt. '
' Sen. Ben Musa, chairman
of the Senate tax committee
which approved the bill took
issue with Grenfell saying the
assessors' work is meaningless
if they can't put it on the tax
rolls.

the dispute.
Western on Spot
White House sources re
ported earlier that Kennedy
had been told that the strike
could be solved if Western
agreed to rehire 130 dismissed,
engineers. ,
Western dismissed the engi
neers two days ago and said
they would be replaced with
pilots as soon as- these men
were trained in the engineers'
duties. ,
" The other five airlines have
agreed to resume operations
without .. changing the job

pute. It was this guarantee
that had been scheduled to ex
pire at noon but was extend
ed. .,
President Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said the White
House understood , that if
Western would join the other
air lines in the no reprisal
agreement, the strike could be
settled immediately.
Other Negotiations
During the two-hour grace
period, Goldberg hoped to
obtain this necessary agree
ment from the officials of
Western.
A spokesman for the flight
engineers confirmed that re
instatement of the Western
employes and assurances of
no reprisals would clear the
way for an end to the six-day-old
strike. Outside of the
situation involving Western,
only a few details remain to
be worked out, the spokes
man said.

In Per Capita Autos
Portland-IUPD-There are more automobiles per capita in
Oregon than any other state in the union, according to
Walter C. iLunsford, guest speaker at the annual meeting
of the Oregon Highway Lifesavers Wednesday.
' Lunsford said there is one car for every two persons in
the state. He predicted a greater density in the future and
said it would create a great challenge for student drivers.
Lunsford, western regional representative for the Auto
Industries Highway Safety committee, San Mateo, Calif.,
said, the high ownership rate is due to Oregon's "substantial
middle class population." - 1
He said we have moved from the horseless carriage into
the high mechanized age without major advances in basic
safety awareness. V ,
He said legislation that would raise the age teen-agers

Lunsford also said there were 462 lives lost on Oregon's
highways last year with a monetary loss of $76 million, or
some $46 for every man; woman and child in "the state.

they feared that if the other

Negotiations went on

Commission Chairman Na

on the assumption the strike
would end today. But he said
the only basis, he had for it
was "a general feeling of op
timism." . The airlines claim the strike
is costing them $5 million a
day, and nearly 100,000 other
non-striking workers have
been paid off due to the
strike.
Their walkout was touched
off by a National Mediation
Board ruling last Feb. 6
which ordered United Air

pilots to vote for a single

The flight engineers said
this would mean their- union
would be swallowed by the
larger Air Lines Pilots Asso
ciation and they would lose
both jobs and seniority.
