Prisoner Insurance
Approved by Court
The Jackson county court
this morning directed that an
accident liability insurance
policy be taken out to cover
any injuries to prisoners' on
work projects.
As a temporary expedient
the county will pay $94 for a
policy from United Pacific In
surance company extending to
May 1. A year's policy would
be $322..
The policy provides cover
age of $100,000 per person for
bodily injury or $300,000 for
each occurrence, and $10,000
property damage. Hazardous
occupations such as blasting
would not be covered.
County court members dis
covered the need for insur
ance to pay medical and hos
pital bills for prisoners ear
lier when they learned prison
ers are not included in the
county's blanket liability pol
icy since they are not hired
by the county.
Two prisoners were injured
at Fish Lake last week while

Hatfield Aph
o Legislature
orCoperation
Possibilities of
Negotiation Noted
Salem-IUPD-Gov. Mark. Hat
field appealed to the 1963 leg
islature Tuesday to minimize
differences in the interests of
tax and constitutional reform.
Hatfield said he will use
his 1961 net receipts tax pro-.
posal as a "point of departure."
I am most willing to work
out with the legislative lead-
s tax reform bill, he
said.
Similarly, Hatfield said he
willing to set aside his own
objections in order to give
Oregon a modern, model con
stitution. He commended the
draft prepared by the Oregon
Constitutional Revision Com
mission during the past two
years, and said he hopes the
legislature will pass it and
refer it to the people.
The Republican governor
held out the flag of flexibility
and negotiation to a Demo
cratic legislature whose own
leaders are divided over key
points in Hatfield's program.
Called 'Grott' Tax
Hatfield's proposal for a
net recipts tax has been term
ed a "disenchanting" gross
recipts tax by Senate Presi
dent Ben Musa (D-The Dalles).
The governor's 1961 pro
posal called for a state in
come tax on even the smallest
incomes, with rates ranging
from one to five per cent. It
eliminated deductions.
The governor spoke at a
news conference, and many of
his remarks dealt with tax
reform. He said he still wants
to see a tax reform program
referred to the voters before
the current legislature ad
journs. - i ,' .
It could well be that we
fate "either "a special" election
or a special session," Hatfield
said. He said he believed an
lection would be less costly,
Problem Compounded
The tax reform problem Is
compounded because the gov
ernor hopes to raise $23 mil
lion in new revenues from a
net receipts tax and $18 mil
lion from a cigarette tax to
help pay for his proposed
$405 million general fund
budget.
On tother topics, Hatfield
said:
Legislative Salaries He
thinks the people have shown
confidence that legislators
will be reasonable in setting
their own pay.
Budget All requests in his
inaugural message were pro
vided for in his budget.
Sex Offenders He would
like to see a law requiring
local law enforcement officers
to submit reports on sex of
fenses to a central recording
office which already exists, in
order to facilitate control of
sex deviates.

Musa Waiting
For Invitation
From Governor
Senate President
Offers Tax Plan
Salem-IUPO-Senate President
Ben Musa's own tax program
made Its appearance today,
and Musa said he is waiting
for the governor to invite him
to try to work out differences.
Musa's tax plan, being spon
sored in the House by his
wife, would broaden the state
income tax base, but still re
tain most exemptions and de
ductions. The Hatfield plan
would eliminate virtually all
deductions to pick up low
bracket earners.
Hatfield said Tuesday he is
flexible on the tax matter
and realizes a bill will have
to be worked out with legis
lative leaders.
But Musa said today he has
not heard from Hatfield on
the tax matter.
Should Ba Invited
I'll cooperate all the way
in the world, but I feel that
I should be invited," he said.
Of course there is room for
negotiation. We will have to
do it in the end, so wny not
do it in the beginning."
Gesturing at the telephone
on his office desk, Musa ad
ded. "If the. governor would
cull .me riaht now. I would
go over and discuss this mat
ter. He saia, nowever, nc
is "tender-skinned" since the
governor rejected similar dis-
cusion two years ago.
The Musa plan would re
duce state income tax per
sonal exemptions from $600
to $500, and would remove
the federal income tax as a
deduction. Suggested rates
range from three to eight per
cent, but Musa said these
could be adjusted to raise
needed revenues.
Effect of the Musa plan
would be to Increase state in
come taxes for some tow
bracket earners, while reduc
ing taxes at some higner
levels.
Supported by Barton
The Hatfield plan, also sup
ported by House Speaker
Clarence Barton (D-Coquille)
would remove virtually all
deductions.
Musa said he would be will
ing to accept much of the
Hatfield plan "if he would
call it by its right name."
Hatfield calls it a net re
ceipts tax, but Musa said it it
really a gross receipts tax,
especially for the salary earn
er. Musa said calling it a net
receipts tax would be "fooling
the people."

Warlike Theories
Of Red Chinese
Rapped in Speech
Huge Bomb Would
Be Used Only on U.S.
Berlin-(UPD-Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev eased pres
sure on the West today for a
German peace treaty and .
evacuation of Berlin.
At the same time he indi
rectly denounced the warlike ,
theories of Red China. ,
In a two-hour, 35-minute '
address to the East German
Communist party congress in
East Berlin, the Soviet leader
warned there can be no East
West disarmament agreement
until the Berlin and German
issues are settled.
But he refrained from any
new ultimatum or deadline to
the West.
Adds Grim Mote
Khruschev added a grime
nntft when hA said the United
States "now has roughly 40,-
000 hydrogen bombs and war
heads." He said the Soviet
Union also "has more than
enough ot this stuff."
' But he said the Soviet Un
ion has the biggest bomb ot
all - a 100-megaton nuclear
bomb' - and Implied It would
be used billy on the United
States if necessary. .
"Such a. bomb should not
be used in' Europe," he said.
"Such measures could only
he used outside Western Eu
rope." ' '
Wants Ptaa an Earth '
He called for - a peaceful
solution to East-West prob
lems, saying- "We do not want
a kingdom in heaven - we
want a beautiful empire on
earth."
'For that' ' reason we act
...ui. - a - ii.itii..
wiin v wiims ui rcsiwusiDiiiiy
We do not want war. But if
one is forced on us, we shall
hit back."
ivnrusncnev reviewed ai
length tne. economic progress
made by Soviet Russia and
said it already is pressing the
United States hard In this
field. He said when the Bol- -shcvlsts
took- power,- Russia -was
economically far behind
other European countries and
the United States.
Great Pawer '
'Today the Soviet Union
is a socialist great power that
has long overtaken the other
European countries in the
level of Its industrial produc
tion and la already treading
on the heels of such a mighty
capitalist country as the Unit-
ed States," he said.
Khrushchev clearly disap
pointed his East German audi
ence by his treatment of the
West Berlin problem and by
the fact he obviously has put
it on Ice for the time being.
He paid lip service to the idea
of a German peace treaty but
made it clear he would take
no steps against the Western
position.
Praises Barlin Wall
He said the position of Com
munist East Germany had
been greatly strengthened in
the meantime, particularly by
construction of the. wall be
tween West and East Berlin.
But he said the interest in
a German peace treaty nas
not let up.
Speaking In quiet, some
times almost professorial
tones, Khrushchev declared
that "as long as a German
peace treaty has not been
signed It obviously will be
difficult to expect serious,
progress towards concluding
a disarmament agreement."
Most of the litter part of
his speech was devoted to
blasting Red China for its be
lief that war with the West is
inevitable. However, he did
not once mention China by
name but directed hi attacks
instead against Peking's tiny
European satellite Albania -a
favorite Soviet bloc ruse.
