Mark Hat field "juggled" figures to pro duce "a phony budget" to hide a $13.2 million general fund deficit this biennium. "For the first time in his tory a governor has asked the legislature to deliberately run the state into the red and violate the state constitu tion," Eymann declared. Eymann is chairman of the House taxation commit tee and majority floor leader of the House. Governor liatficld is in Palm Springs to address the California Republican Assem bly, and could not be reached for comment. First Stone Thrown Hatfield's press secretary, Travis Cross, said "Eymann has thrown the first stone in a two-page press release with out making a single construc tive suggestion for meeting the Increased educational and social needs of our people. "He has our proposals. If he doesn't like them, let him come up with prescriptions of his own. A governor pro poses, the legislature dis poses, But It cannot be said that the responsibility to point the way was ducked. It now remains for the House and the Senate to get togeth er on how they wish to meet their obligations," Cross said. "The legislature is not going to appreciate Hatfield's fallacious presentation," Ey mann said. "Never in Oregon history has a governor sought to cover up deficits by such high handed manipulation of revenue and expenditure fig ures, nor has any other gov ernor had the gall to ask that the state deliberately go into the red," he stated. "The fiscal irresponsibility of these requests, and of Hat field's overspending of reve nues in the past 18 months is nothing short of prodigal. Padding Charged "A careful search of the new deficit budget message reveals that in order to bal ance the income and spending In the present biennium, Hat .field has had to: ' "1. Ask for the return of a $5.5 million appropriation to the veterans affairs depart ment made to get that depart ment's loan fund started. "2. Pad the tax commis sion's estimate of income tax receipts by $4 million. "3. Pad State Treasurer Howard Bolton's Inheritance tax estimates by $2 million. "4. Increase prices of liquor by $500,000 in the last four months of the biennium. "5. Try to cut back state programs by $1.7 million In the last seven months of the biennium. "This totals $13.7 million, less $500,000 which Hatfield estimates will be in the bank at the end of the biennium if the savings arc achieved and if his padding of revenue es timates does not lead to disaster." Oregon-Washington Income Tax Battle Of Bridge Employees Explodes Again Salem -IUPD- The long sim mering battle between Ore gon and Washington over withholding of In ome taxes from Portland-Vancouver toll bridge employees exploded to life again today. Oregon Tax Commission Chairman Fred Hoefke re vealed "we're waiting until the end of the ye ." Legal Right Claimed He said Atty. Gen. Robert V. Thornton and Washington Atty. Gen. John J. O'Connell are still discussing the prob lem and hope to reach agree ment soon. Oregon claims the legal right to withhold income taxes from the pay of employees of the interstate toll bridge.

The toll plaza, however, is located in Oregon.

Hoefke said today that Ore gon has not yet collected any Income tax from any of the bridge employees. "We're getting close to the point where we will have to do something," Hoefke said. "We are not going to let the statute of limitations run." "There is no question of our authority to collect the tax," Hoefke insisted. He said the battle was over Oregon'r right to withhold the taxes from employees of Washington state. D. D. Hedges, executive sec retary of the Toll Bridge Au thority, claimed earlier this year "we have always felt it was Inappropriate to collect the tax." The issue has remained dor mant since Washington offi cials decided to defy the Ore gon Tax commission and re fused to withhold the Oregon income tax. It was at that time that O'Connell requested a meet ing with Thornton in an ef fort to find a solution. Hoefke insists "there is no question" about Oregon's le gal authority to collect the tax. He said he hoped Thornton and O'Connell would reach a satisfactory agreement before the end of the year. fei Fart, Efficient Service Ship It LASME V to or from 1?
