onstration of a new grenade
launcher were wounded Sat
urday when a firing error
shot six grenades at the wood'

er, but he accidentally fired
all the truck's grenades. Six

Three American brigadier

to watch the firing from a hel
icopter overhead.

work is scheduled on High'

port. Cooper said it would cost
$17 million to rebuild the
highway. He said the High
way Department didn't have
the money to do the job.
Smaller Jobs
A bridge at Corvallis, a $1.2
million imnrovement east of
Newport, and other .smaller

Ferry Building
Blaze Hurts 8
San Francisco - IUPD - Eight
firemen were hospitalized
Friday night after the sec
ond fire in six months broke
out in the historic Ferry
building on San Francisco's
waterfront.
The four-alarm blaze was
controlled quickly, but de
stroyed a chunk of the struc
ture's roof about 73 feet by
20 feet. There was no esti
mate of the loss.
Fire Chief William Mur
ray donned smoke-breathing
apparatus to enter the build
ing and investigate the fire.
He said It broke out on a fer
ry slip and spread to the main
building.
Fireboats from San Fran
cisco, Oakland and the Coast
Guard joined city firemen in
fighting the flames.
Six of the eight Injured
men were treated for smoke
Inhalation at Harbor Emer
gency hospital. The other two
suffered wounds, one a gash
in his hand and the other a
scalp Injury.
An investigation was under
way to determine the cause
of the fire. A fire destroyed
wooden building adjacent to
the Ferry building and part
of the roof of the main build
ing last fall.
He quickly added this
would not be the $17 million
rebuilding job.
The Highway Department
spokesman said there was $28
million bonding authority
left, but to use it "would start
a wild scramble for the mon
ey."
Opposad to Bonds
Jackson said the depart
ment was opposed to bonds,
and said interest paid on high'
way bonds did not build road'
ways.
Cooper agreed to start an
immediate study to see what
improvements would have to
be made to end truck restric
tion on the route. He said he
hoped he could report back
to the group in about two
weeks.
Rep. Edward Ridderbusch
(D-Tillamook) asked if the de
partment was seeking higher
gas tax and license fees to
raise more money for high
ways.
Jackson said "We are not
lobbying for more money,
that's up to the legislature to
decide.
Soft Paddle
Sen. Glenn Huston (D-Leb-
anon), referring to the $37
million highway bond bill in
troduced in th.; House, said
"If we go ahead with this
bonding, Multnomah county
will jump in with a $40 mil
lion bond program. I'm afraid
we'd better soft peddle this
thing."
Rep. C. R. Hoyt (R-Corval-lis)
urged more such informal
meetings with the Highway
Department to find out what
could be done to get improve
ments made.
Rep. Nancy Kirkpatrick ID-
Lebanon) called tor "concrete
proposals" from the Highway
Department.
Sen. Andrew Naterlin ID-
Newport) told Jackson "We
don't want to rouse your ire,
but we have to satisfy the
people there."
With Cooper having prom
ised nothing but a study of
what might bo done, the meet
ing adjourned.

Morse Critical of
Top Secret' Label
Eugene - IUPD - Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) has criticized
the federal government for
its frequent use of the "top
secret" label.
Morse told the 16th annual
convention of the Oregon
High School International
Relations League that 85 per
cent of the documents mark
ed "top secret" contain infor
mation already known by the
Russians, but not by the Amer
ican people.
He also called for release
of document pertaining to the
Bay of Pigs invasion. He said
he does not believe President
Kennedy or former President
Eisenhower ever authorized
air cover for the invasion, and
he said the documents should
be made public because of
later developments in Cuba.
Morse also said Cuban
Prime Minister Fidel Castro
has the right to build defen
sive military installations.
"If Cuban armaments be
come offensive again, then
the United States has the
right to take action against
Cuba," Morse added.
He made the remarks be
fore taking up a prepared
text on the Alliance for Prog
ress and the problems of Latin
America.
Salem - (UPt - Proposed cig'
arette taxes and the gover
nor's net receipts tax reform
plan were outlined to the
House Tax committee Friday
by Rep. Victor Atiyeh (R
Beaverton). The session marked the last
of five successive days of
hearings by the committee on
the major revenue producing
bills introduced this session.
The committee will new be
gin work to determine which
bill, or combination of bills,
will be submitted to the leg
islature. The cigarette and net re
ceipts bills both proposed
by Gov. Mark Hatfield to bal
ance his $405 million general
fund budget were sponsor
ed by Atiyeh.
The plan to tax cigarettes
4 cents a pack was approved
by Cecil Posey of the Oregon
Education association.
Urge Tax
Urging a 5-cent tax, with 1
cent to go to cities, were As
toria Councilman Arnold
Swanson, president of the
League of Oregon Cities,
Portland Mayor Terry
Schrunk, and Eugene City
Manager Hugh McKinley.
But Dave Barrows, repre
senting the Tobacco Distribu
tors association, termed the
tax discriminatory.
Atiyeh said the tax, mod
eled after the California law,
would raise $18 million a bi
ennium. He said other tobac
co products would not be tax
ed because it would be too
costly.
Turning to the net receipts
tax, Atiyeh said "I refuse to
deal in semantics, you can
call this bill a gross receipts
tax, a net receipts tax, I don t
care. I ask only that it be
considered on its merits.
"This is the governor's pro
posal. I sponsored the bill. I
favor this bill."
He said the bill would ex
tend income taxes to 100.000
more people than are now
paying income taxes to the
state and elimination of de
ductions would end confusion.
He defended the lack of de
ductions for charitable contri
butions by saying people do
not give to churches or chari
ties to gain a state tax advant
age. The bill is expected to pro
duce $31 million in new rev- on gross income, and a grad
