Senate Committee!
Ballots 10 to 5 i
To Reject Plan I
l
Decision Follows i
Closed Meeting
i
Washington - HOT - The Sen
ate Finance committee today
voted 10-5 to kill the adminis
tration's plan for compulsory
withholding of income tax on
income from dividends and in
terest.
Chairman Harry F. Byrd
(D-Va.), who opposed the
withholding proposal, an
nounced the decision after a
two-hour closed committee
meeting. The senators arc
working on the adminis
tration's over-all tax revision
bill.
The withholding feature
was a key part of the adminis
tration's measure and also the
most controversial. It would
have required 20 per cent of
all dividends and interest to
be withheld for federal in
come tax at time of payment.
It was defeated by a com
bination of five Democrats
and five Republicans.
Compromise Scuttled
Administration backers had
hoped to salvage it through a
compromise offered by Sen.
Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.). It
would have exempted low
income groups from with
holding, cut by two-thirds the
number of refund claims and
provided a system of instant
refunds for others.
But the committee acted
without even considering
Kerr's plan.
The committee did unani
mously adopt a provision to
require corporations and sav
ings institutions to notify the
government of all dividends
and interest paid in excess of
$10.
Sympathy Told
Senate Democratic Whip
Hubert H. Humphrey ID-
Minn.) told newsmen after a
While House leadership meet
ing Tuesday that the adminis
tration was "more sympath
etic than ever" to an income
tax reduction.
He emphasized, how ever,
that it would defer a final
decision for about another
month, and this should In no
way delay finance committee
action on the pending tax re
vision bill.
The Kerr compromise, in
troduced late Tuesday, repre
sented a major administration
drive to make progress on its
hotly disputed plan to impose
a 20 per cent withholding tax
on income from dividends
and interest.
Treasury officials estimate
that the tax would bring in
from $700 to $800 million a
year in revenues now escap
ing taxation.
Thornton Avoids
Ruling on Prison
Salem - (UPI) - Atty. Gen.
Robert Y. Thornton said today
it is not in the province of his

state women's prison.
In an opinion requested by
House Speaker Robert B.
Duncan (D-Medford) Thorn
ton said that Is up to the

Duncan asked Thornton for !
an opinion on constitutional
Ity of the 1961 law after the

nounced several weeks ago it
planned to ignore the emer
gency board, and the law, de
scribing it as unconstitutional.
The Board of Control or
dered a go ahead on the wom
en's prison project, and pre

Telstar Program
Set for July 24
Medford city officials today
are collecting pictures and
background information of the
city and Mayor John W. Sni
der in preparation for the
July 24 communications ex
periment via the satellite Tel
star. Medford's part in the ex
peri ment was confirmed
Tuesday in a telephone call
from the United States Infor
mation agency in Washington,
DC. Mayor Snider said to
day that arrangements have
been under way for about a
week. He Is expected to talk
with the mayor of Alba, Italy,
Medford's sister city, via Tel
star, for four minutes.
The mayor said Medford,
the only northwestern city
chosen to participate, is one of
20 cities in the United States
selected to talk with their sis
ter cities in various parts of
the world.
Head of Program
It is believed that Oregon's
intensive participation in the
sister city program was why
Medford was selected. Mayor
Snider is head of the state sis
ter city program. Because of
Mayor Snider's activities as
head of the Oregon sister pro
gram, he has been invited to
address the American Munici
pal Congress in Philadelphia
in August.
So far 300 feet of black and
white film and several travel
folders have been sent to the
USIA in connection with the
experiment. Mayor Snider
said it was his understanding
the folders will be used in dis
plays throughout Europe to
promote the July 24 program.
Other requests have Includ
ed aerial pictures of Medford
showing the mountains,
story of Medford's affiliation
with Alba, Italy, pictures of
the Medford visitors to Alba,
and a biography of Mayor
Snider.
The agency explained that
I he material was needed for

County Judge Earl M. Miller
said this morning.
Ho plans to invite the dis
trict sponsor, Elmer W. Lusch
en, 2325 Stewart ave., to dis
cuss the proposal.
District Attorney Alan B.
Holmes returned to the coun
ty court 26 petitions presented
by Luschen recently. The pe
titions are improper and can
not be acted, upon, he said.
The petitions cover the area
street by street, but set no
perimeter boundaries for the
proposed district.
Holmes suggested that the
documents be returned to the
petitioners so a boundary de
scription could be prepared.
Then the county clerk would
determine if 60 per cent or
more of the land-owners with
in the proposed district have
signed petitions.
Alternatives to rectify the
error in the petitions would
be to adopt a resolution di
recting a public hearing be
held for the sanitary district,
or to ask for certification by
the state sanitary authority,
that an emergency exists re
quiring formation of the district.
