Harry Anderson, deputy di rector of fish and game, told a House Interior Subcommit tee that the Tulclake, Lower Klamath and Upper Klamatn wildlife refuges were "abso lutely essential" for the main tenance of agriculture In the Central Valley. Legislation Supported Anderson joined conserva tionists in supporting Senate passed legislation intended to stabilize the refuges used by about BO per cent of the mi gratory birds on the Pacific Flyway. Loss of the marshlands and any cut in the size of the ref uges would deprive millions of birds of resting place on the flyway, Anderson said. He said this would result in their descending on the crops of California farmers. Spokesmen for the Klmath drainage district in Oregon appeared in opposition to some features of the hill. They were introduced by Rep. Al Ullman (D.-Ore.) who said the bill was controversial in his state but that most were In support of its general prin ciples. Exclusion Aiktd The Oregonians asked that lands in the so-called Klam ath Straits unit of their pri vately owned Klamath drain age district not be included In the refuge.

The FBI said that $1 mil lion worth of stock still was mUsing. Presumably, It is in the possession of a mysterious "Mr. X," described as the mastermind of the theft, who has eluded arrest. Saturday's arrests brought the number of persona in cus tody to 11 In the theft of the Blue Chip Stocks from a Wall Street brokerage firm. In another development, it was disclosed at a court ar raignment that a key man in the theft, Gordon A. Tallman, stock record clerk who alleg edly smuggled the gilt-edged securities from the vaults of Bache & Co., is an ex-convict who served time for robbery in Virginia State prison. The latest person arrested in the case, Leo Isaac Sagal, of Seabright and Maplewood, N.J., was taken into custody by FBI agrnts in Seabright. Sagal, who gave his occupa tion as a promoter, was held on a charge of violating the federal atatute against inter slate transportation of stolen property. Others Arreittd The other two 8rrcsted ear lier Saturday were: William B. Gladstone, of Manhasset, N.Y., seized by FBI agents at Brant Lake, in upstate New York, where he was visiting. Milton Parness, 44, of Scotch Plains, N.J., arrested in New ark on charges of conspiring to transport stolen stocks acrcoss state lines. The same charge was brought agains Gladstone. When arrested, Parness was on bail in another stolen 3lork case. He was arrested last May 16 on charges he had transported $500,000 in stocks stolen from two private hom es, one in Morris Plains, N.J., and the other In New York City, in July, lflfil. He had been free in $10,000 bail in that case. The arrests of Gladstone and Parness brought to seven the number of persons nab bed by the FBI and three by local authorities working nut of the office of New York County District Attorney Frank S. Hogan, Identity Known Authorities said they know the identity of the elusive "Mr. X" but have given no indication as to when his ar rest can be expected. Hogan said the theft actual ly started out with a "joking" barroom conversation be tween Tallman and Robert J. Dodge, 24. an unemployed truck driver, both of N e w York City. They allegedly joked about what they could do with the money represented by all the storks handled daily by Tall man. From there, he said, the conversation s u ri d e n I y be came serious. Tallman was ordered held without bail because he serv ed two years and eight ; months of an eight-year cn- tence for robbery in Virginia j before being paroled. It was he who allegedly smugKcld i out 100 shares of General I Motors stork under his alvrt and gave them to Dodge. Difficult to Unload However, Hogan said, the securities proved difficult to unload and they finally were burned. Then, the district attorney said, the mysterious "Mr. X" appeared on the scene and I "boasted he could dispose of stocks and a deal was made.." "K.arly in June, Tallman stole another certificate for I DO shares of CM. gave it to ; DihIkc. who passed it on to Mr. X," Hogan said. Mr. X reported to finder that the slock "passed like a dream.

Pros and Cons of Immediate Tax Reduction Top Subject in Congress; Move by Kennedy Necessary Washington - (I'M - The ee-1 onomic and political pros and , j cons of an immediate tax cut j were the top conversational I topic in Congress Saturday : hut influential spokesmen in-! Jdicated the first move must j come from President Ken.ne I dy. Prospects were sl'-n that Congress would enact an elec tion year tax cut without a specific request from Kenne dy.

On. Rohert Y Thornlon said Sat urday two opinion polls show him in the lead for governor over 1he Republican incum bent, Gov. Mark Hatfield. Thornton, the Democratic nominee, said one was a poll laken with a voting machine at an Oregon industry fair in Portland Coliseum, after the May Primary election. The second was a mail poll taken in Multnomah county in June. In a speech prepared for de livery today to Jackson and .InseDhine County Democrats at Valley of the Rogue Park, Thornton said that despite this he considers himself an underdog in the race because Hatfield will spend "six or seven times" more than Thornton in the campaign. Thornlon said Hatfield will depend on "lavish donations of the owners of powerful corporations and other special interests" and will he able to huv "endless billboards. newspaper advertisements and TV programs wilh his nuge campaign fund." Thornton said "in contrast I will depend upon small con tributions from plain Oregon citizens." The attorney general said, however, he is encouraged by Ihe polls since Hatfield "has had four years of unprece dented personal publicity at slate expense." Flames Destroy Mill at Canby Canby - IUPD Fjre ate jrrj. day destroyed Ihe planing mill and shop at the Kropf Lum ber Co. near here, burning several thousand board feet of lumber. There was no immediate damage estimate, and the cause was not immediately de termined. The plant Is on the Canby Marquam highway seven miles from here. Firemen from Monitor, Mt. Angel, Mo lalla, Canby and Oregon City answered the call. The fire was brought under control within two hours. Ivan Kropf, the owner, said he was in Ihe building when h heard an explosion in a hack room, and found it in flames. he is assured that Congress would enact it. Many powerful lawmakers in both parties are openly in favor of an across the-board cut now in both individual and corporate taxes. Others are undecided and many are opposed unless it is accompa nied by a severe slash in fed eral spending to offset the lost revenue. Chairman John J. Spark man of the Senate Small Busi ness Committee, summed up the "yes - but - maybe" posi tion when he said that a tax cut "undoubtedly would help" the economy. However, Sparkman said, two main questions remain: "First, whether or not we are confronted with the cer tainty of a recession to the extent that we ought to hurry into a tax program. The sec ond is . , .whether we should pass one now, or should we wait until the first of the year, and give a little time and thought in working it out." Should B Lowartd The Alabama Democrat said "I do not share the feel ing a lot of people have that we are almost bound to have a recession." But, he said, the present 52 per cent rate on corporate taxes should be lowered to the old 47 per cent level in any case and "I would be in favor of giving a cut to all individuals" if any tax reduc tion is voted. "The only way an Income tax cut can stimulate the econ omy is for that money to be turned back into the econo my to be spent," he said. In other tax developments: Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey (Minn.) indicated that a poll of Dem ocratic senators on a tax cut may be broadened to test Re publican sentiment. He said a majority of the Senate's Democrats assured him they would support a cut this year if the President asked for it. The House Ways and Means Committee is consider ing public hearings next week to air arguments for and against a reduction this year. But no hearing are definitely set. Influential Senate forces will try to scrap a SI 1 billion tax break for business which the committee approved last week. Sen Harry F. Byrd (Va.) is opposed to the house - ap proved proposal which would grant businesses and utility companies a tax credit to spur investments In new equip ment. The provision is in cluded in the drastically pared down tax revision bill tenta tively approved by the com mittee Friday. M-o-v-i-n-g?. VAN UNO. INC.
