This the second of five dis patches. By ZAN STARK Salem-(DPli-A battle over a "during-session" tax election may erupt in both the Senate and House, a United Press In ternational survey indicated today. Gov. Mark Hatfield called for such an election when he presented his proposed 1963 65 budget. More than half the state senators and about one-third of the house members re sponded to a UPI poll on ma jor issues likely to face the 1963 legislature. Many declined to comment on the explosive question, but those who did lined up this way: In the Senate eight fa vored and eight opposed the idea, while in the House nine favored and seven opposed the proposal. Rep. Edward W. Elder (R Eugene) said he favored a tax election during the session "if a tax increase is neces sary." Takes Dim View Sen. Boyd R. Overhulse ID Madras) commented "I take a dim view of this. I think the legislature would be avoiding its responsibility. Might as well not have a leg islature." Sen. Alice Corbett (D-Port-land) took the other view. "I favor giving the people an op portunity to express their de sires on this important matter." Sen. Anthony Yturri (R Ontario) answered "I would have no objection to such an election.'" Rep. Merrill C. Hagan (R McMinnville) said he favored the special election and sug gested "give the people a choice between two budgets and two tax plans." Sen. Daniel A. Thiel ID Astoria) commented "it can not be done properly, allow ing the voter ample time to study the effects. Therefore any tax case referred to the people mid-session would be defeated, if for no other sea son than not having suffici ent time to study. I believe it's up to the legislature as the peoples' representatives to work out the problem." Would Avoid Special Session Rep. Morris K. Crothers (R Salem) said "I favor submit ting any new tax program to the people during the session in order to avoid the likeli hood or possibility of a spe cial session following a vote of the people after the ses- Serious Shortage Of Scientists Said To Be Facing Nation f x 9 3-.' -L 4, r 4 1 -1 I' ' YOU CAN GO TO PORTLAND BY GREYHOUND for Only 1120 ROUND TRIP i TRUE FALSE FT 1 T.,TS1 ?r-tt.i S4 K 7 Kv1 yt!L - v i -1 r If you checked the box marked TRUE, you re right!

AND LEAVE THE DRIVING TO US. Washington -IUP1I- President Ken nedy's science advisory committee reports the coun try is faced with a serious shortage of scientists and en gineers which "threatens the successful fulfillment of vital national commitments." The committee, formed last February by the President, urged that a concerted effort be undertaken to expand the nation's capabilities in gradu ate education in engineering, mathematics and physical sciences. The group set a goal of 7.500 Ph.D's and 30,000 masters degrees per year. Last year 13,000 masters degrees were awarded by U.S. educational institutions and 3,400 Ph.D's were issued. Expansion Proposed The advisory commit tee also proposed that existing centers of education be ex panded and new centers be developed. It said this could be accomplished in a program linking federal and private efforts to provide augmented financial support of graduate students and funds for the in stitutions involved. Kennedy, in releasing the committee's report, said he would request that the matter be given "immediate consider ation bv Congress when it reconvenes in January, 1963. "Well - trained minds are among this nation's most precious assets, among the scarcest of our resources," Kennedy said. '"Attainment of our many national objec tives and fulfillment of exist ing commitments critically depend on the quantity, and on the quality, of manpower in all professional fields, at all levels of training." The President said it was "the students them selves" who could most help the pro gram. Greater Rewards "It is my earnest hope that each college student will con sider how valuable additional study will be in enhancing his abilities and potential contribution to the nation, and in bringing him greater satis faction and rewards," Ken nedy said. A panel on scientific and technical manpower prepared the report for the advisory committee. It was headed by Dr. Edwin R. Gilliland of the engineering department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The chairman of the advisory committee is Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner. special assistant to the President for science and technology.

The legislature should not shirk its responsibility of bal ancing the budget and raising revenue by passing the buck to the people." Rep. Cornelius C. Bateson (D-Salem) called the idea "wasteful." He recommended the legis lature pass a tax bill, then another bill with an emer gency clause, stating that if the tax bill is referred, that a special election on the mat ter would be held on the 45th day after the referendum pe- Dennis the Menace I JUST THOUGHT OF A COUPLE M0FB THINGS' tition was completed. "This would mean that if the people agreed that the tax bill was sound there would be great public pres sure against a referendum. It would also put in signers on notice that if they referred the bill there would be an estimated $300,000 cost for the election," he said. Sen. Walter Leth (R-Salem) termed such an election "a must." Sen. Alfred H. Corbett (D Portland) said "I do not fa vor such an election. I think the governor and the legisla ture should do their job first, and trust to the good judgment of the voters."
