Josephine County
Delinquent Taxes
Total $191,015
Grants Pass - Delinquent
personal property taxes in
Josephine taxes at the end of
April totaled $191,015.60, ac
cording to Sheriff Loyd Lewis.
Some of the taxes owed date
prior to 1943.
In speaking about the de
linquency, Lewis said that in
Josephine county, such taxes
remain on the books in case
such a time arrives that they
might be collectible. In some
counties, he explained, the
personal property taxes are
written off the book when
the sheriff and district attor
ney feel that they are uncol
lectible. In a conversation with Al
len Howell of the state tax
commission office in Salem,
Howell agreed with Lewis in
this policy.
Du From Mills
He pointed out that some
$50,000 is due from five mills
and logging firms that have
closed. These taxes are secure
since they are tied in with
real property. The county
earns 8 per cent interest on
the delinquent taxes, Lewis
added.

Doolittle, Dean
Refuse Special
Monthly Pension
Washington OIPD Two of
America's leading war heroes
have refused a special $100-a-month
pension voted by Con
gress last year for Medal of
Honor winners, it was learned
today.
The rejections were by Lt.
Gen. James H. Doolittle,
who led the first bombing
raid over Tokyo in World War
II, and Maj. Gen. William F.
Dean, who commanded the
24th Division in Korea and
spent three years as a prisoner
of war.
Gen. Douglas MacArlhur,
along with approximately 100
other Army winners of the
medal, accepted the pension.
So did 32 Navy and 10 Marine
holders of the nation's high
est military award.
Six in Air Force
The Air Force Times said
the Air Force, youngest of the
services, had only six eligibles
and that Doolittle was the
only Air Force veteran to re
fuse the pension. ,
MacArthur, who was
awarded the medal for his de
fense of Bataan at the start of
World War II, draws $20,000
a year as a five-star general
technically on active duty,
Doolittle and Dean are re
tired from military life. Doo
little. who lives in Santa Mon
ica, Calif., formerly was vice
president of Shell Oil Co. In
January, he resigned as chair
man of the board of Space
Technology Labo-atories in
Los Angeles, but s!Ul is a di
rector. Dean is living in Berkeley,
Calif. The new and more gen
erous pension, available at
age 50, replaces a $10 a month
stipend formerly paid to Med
al of Honor winners begin
ning at age 65.

Americans Said
Paying Congolese
Cabinet Salaries
Washington - UTO - An Ohio
congressman says American!
taxpayers are footing the bill !
for $3.000-a-month salaries to!
Congolese cabinet members
through U.S. foreign aid.
In testimony made public
Wednesday night. Rep. Wayne
Hays (D-Ohio) said:
"... These characters . . .
are paying themselves a salary '
which is about twice that of
an American congressman,
and we are paying the bill
nd I don't like it."
Hays, in a stinging -lecture
to U. foreign aid officials
at a closed hearing of the!
House Foreign Affairs com-j
mittee, said:
"Two thirds of them can't,
read or write, but they know j
how t get their hands on
American dollars, and you
people know how to shovel it
out t them."
Charges Denied
Assistant Secretary of Stale
Harlan Cleveland insisted that
the United States was not do
ing anything of the kind. He
said U.S. aid funds were help
ing to pay the cost of the UN
military operation in the Con
go and to provide $35 million
worth of surplus food.
"Don t give me that old
argument that it isn't this
money," Hays said. "That is
the argument Trujillo used
when we gave him $600,000
in one year and he gave his
son a $600,000 allowance. He
said it wasn't the same
money."

Safe Following
10 Days at Sea
San Francisco - 0JP1I - The
107-foot converted sub-chaser
Pelican, with skipper Jeff
Hodges and his daughter
aboard, was towed into San
Francisco Bay today little the
worse for wear despite being
adrift for 10 days on stormy
seas.
The Pelican was towed
through the Golden Gate by
a commercial tug. and escort
ed by the Coast Guard cutter
Taney, which reached the
powerless vessel Tuesday off
Monterey, Calif.
When found, the World
War II boat had drifted 225
miles down the coast from- a
point 60 miles south of Eu
reka.
Hodges, 36, San Jose, Calif.,
and his daughter, Sandra. 13,
were bringing the Pelican
from Grays Harbor, Wash.,
to Redwood City, south of San
Francisco.
Engine Conks Out
Hodges said one of the ves
sel's two engines was out of
order when the voyage began
April 21. The remaining en
gine conked out the next aft
ernoon, off Eureka.
The Coast Guard said it had
picked up Hodges' distress)
message, but the signal was
so weak a bearing could not
be taken.
A search plane finally
sighted the Pelican wallow
ing In steep seas off the Mon
terey coast Tuesday. The
Taney was immediately dis
patched and took the stricken
vessel under tow until the tug
could reach the scene.
Hodges and his daughter
were reported in good condi
tion, though food had dwin
dled seriously.
Most of America's churches
welcome new members with
open arms and few questions.
They assume, in practice if
not in theory, that anyone
who applies for Vhurch mem
bership is a committed Chris
tian. The assumption is. to put it
mildly, unrealistic, lt is prob
ably rare for a practicing
criminal to use church mem
bership as a camouflage, ut
the life of the community
where he is known and serv
ed. Another view, which ap
pears to be gaining adherents,
is that churches should wel
come all comers to th ir wor
ship services and other activi
ties, but reserve full member
ship to those who have genu
inely accepted Christ as their
Lord and Master.
