i Iff ficials .Deny E xclusion off 'Negroes .From Basketball Greyhound Breeders Call for Local Voting on Issue of Dog Race Tracks Move Follows Track Rejection At Wilsonville Salem (BPD Oregon Grey hound breeders Monday switched signals and called for local-option voting on dog racing tracks. The plea came on the heels of a racing commission ae cision to reject a proposed track at Wilsonville. Last week's shouting, gavel pounding hearing before the House Planning and Develop ment committee - just a few hours before the racing com mission acted - brought a plea that the future of such tracks be left with tne com mission, and not taken to the voters. The House committee was considering a bill designed to outlaw the Wilsonville tracx. It would prohibit the granting of more than one racing meet for each 400,000 population, and require at least 100 miles between tracks. At Monday's session, Rep, Richard Kennedy (D-Eugene) proposed amending the 100 mile limit to 15'0 miles "so Lane county would be includ ed in any prohibition." Jim Garber, president of the Oregon Greyhound Breed ers association, said he felt "this bill will hurt the Grey hound industry." He charged the bill would limit competition among dog tracks. "All we ask is that you let the people vote," he said. Also testifying against the bill were Don Watson and C. S. Auger. Tired of Tag Watson said "we are getting sick and tired of being called immoral" because of the gambling. "The majority of people bet on something, they are not Immoral." Members of the racing com mission had been invited to attend the hearing, but de clined. The commission said It had adopted a policy of "non-interference" 1 regarding legislation, Couple Hikes Ouf After Aufo Stuck Portland - (UPI - A young man and his expectant wife walked about 17 miles after their car got stuck in the snow on the cast side of Mt.

Brown Sacramenlo-IIPI)-A Republi can assemblyman and Gov. Edmund G. Brown's finance director exchanged words to- day over the need for a new gubernatorial airplane. Assemblyman Don mui- ford (R-Piedmont) lower chamber GOP caucus chair man, was the first to mention Ihe matter. He brought it up in a letter to Finance Director Hale Champion. The lawmaker pointed out that Brown invited the legis lators to delete all expendi tures in California's $3.2 bil lion budget that do not pro vide direct and necessary serv ices to the people. Then he mentioned the air plane item which says simply: Provision Is made for ac quiring an executive airplane to be operated In conjunction with the automotive popl." No Explanation "Since this item Is burled so abscurely in a subsection on state garages ana since there is absolutely no explana tion for the need or the rea son for the inclusion of this Item," said Mulford, "It is difficult to assist the governor with his invitation to look for economics in connection with this item." Sen. Robert J. Lagomarslno (R-Ventura) introduced a bill to allow arrest at night on a warrant for misdemeanors when the person to be arrest ed is in a public place. He also introduced a measure to allow a person to be s tenced In the county of arrest or residence on warrants is sued bv other counties.

I, w Administration Seeks To Calm Taxpayer Fears Washington-tllPll-The admin istration sought today to calm the anxiety of home owners who would lose a portion of their favorite income tax de ductions under President Ken nedy's tax plan. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon stressed again Monday night that virtually every tax payer would pay less to the government if the President's proposals are approved by Congress. Under the program, he said the home owner would end up with more money in his pocket from cuts in tax rate, even if some of his deductions were taken away. The President has proposed a $10 billion net reduction in rates over a three-year period, tied in with tax reforms re moving some present tax privileges. Limits Deductions One of the proposed chang es would permit the taxpayer to deduct only those itemized expenses which exceed 5 per cent of his income. This would include interest on home mortgages, local taxes and contributions. The Treasury told Congress Monday that Individual in come tax rates would have to be set higher than Kennedy proposed if the lawmakers spurn his plea for restrictions on deductions. It said the alternative to curbing tax deductions was a tax rate schedule ranging from 14.3 per cent to 75 per cent. This compares with a 14-65 per cent range in Ken nedy's plan and the present 20-91 per cent. Higher Rates Necessary The Treasury said the high cr rates would be necessary to offset the loss of $2.3 bil lion in new revenue that the limit on tax deductions was designed to produce. Administration strategists were convinced that the phase of the tax program pertaining to deductions was meeting the most resistance from the gen eral public. Some homebuilders claimed the deduction change would discourage home buying be cause it would reduce the tax advantage that now goes with owning a home. Stowaways Found Asleep in Boat Portland OIPD Three teen age boys from The Dalles were found asleep in a life boat aboard the SS Oregon Mail here early today.

State Rep. Berkeley Lent (D-Portland) said in Salem Monday he d'd not know of a Negro making the squad in the 35 years that Amory T. (Slats) Gill has been head coach at Oregon State. OSU Sports Publicity Pirec tor Johnny Eggers said that Norm Monroe, a Negro, play ed in six varsity basketball games during the 1960-61 sea son. He said that Monroe also a trackman, quit because he felt "he was not good enough to help the team." Tried To Get Moore Gill said "find me a good boy, a good student who can get into school and a good basketball player and see whether I'll take him." Eggers added that "we tried real hard to get Glenn Moore (a Negro and starting center on the University of Oregon basketball team) to come to our school." Lent made his remarks to the House Education Commit tee in asking the commit tee to table a bill he had in troduced because "there are a couple of situations in our own back yard which can stand cleaning up." The bill would have pre vented OSU or Oregon from entering into athletic arrange ments with the University of Mississippi or any other school which holds athletic contests with Mississippi. 3,000-Mile Censure Lent said the idea of his bill was a "3,000-mile censure of 'Ole Miss' " because of con tinuing anti- Negro behavior by its students. Lent said another situation which needed attention in Or egon was the continuation of two fraternities whose nation al charters contain discrim inatory clauses. The fraternities, Sigma Nu and Alpha Tau Omega, said they are relesaed from the clauses in their Oregon oper ations. "Before we go after another state . . . we should clean up our own mess," Lent said. Industrialist Tells Group of Machines Eugene - Within the next decade only a minor portion of the working population will be required to produce all of the goods and services needed to maintain the Ameri can society, according to Ed win F. Shelley, vice president of U.S. Industries, Inc., a New York firm which manufactur ers automation equipment. Shelley spoke last week during the Pacific Northwest Assembly al the Village Green in Cottage Grove, which is discussing the problems of the impact of automation and technological change. The As sembly is co-sponsored by the American Assembly and the University of Oregon. Shelley urged that when people arc relieved of rou tine, machine-like jobs, they be given the opportunity to participate in scientific inves tigations, e x p I o r a 1 1 on of space, and study of society. "The urgent prerequisite for this intelligent use of human beings is education on a scale not now approached," he said. "To accomplish the educational task it is impor tant to apply the new technol ogies themselves to the educa tion of our people and to the organization of our productive society." He described several new automated devices which are causing the technological change. MINIMUM ORDER $1.90 Spotting Onlyl Hatfield Long Beach, Calif. (UPll Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield called on the Republican par ty to restate the Lincolnian principles of compassion and humility in order to recap ture its former strength. The 40-year-old chief exe cutive often mentioned as a possible running mate to Nel son Rockefeller in the presi dential election in 1964, de livered a 30-minute off-the-cuff speech Monday night to more than 600 persons at a Lincoln Day audience here. He said compassion and humility were the genesis of the GOP strength, "but the party has not always held this." Principles Diluted The party has allowed the Lincolnian principles "to be diluted and diminished in the eyes of the American people by a very capable opposition party and compassion was taken from our mantle," he said. "We often stood by and permitted it to happen." He said the Republican par ty is the party of civil rights, but that the Democrats have capitalized on this theme in recent elections. Hatfield was critical of a segment of the GOP attempt ing to win over Southern seg regationists. He asked: "Should we go into the South and sacrifice our posi tion on civil rights by out segregating the segregation ists of the opposition? It's too high a price to pay for a few paltry votes in the south." Majorities Lost He said he would rather "go down to defeat than turn his back" on the party's tra ditional championship of civil rights. The governor said Oregon's over whelming Republican legislative majorities were completely lost within four years because the party "failed to stay true to the party tradition of local gov ernment. We were so con cerned with the defeat of Wayne Morse that we lost the whole state of Oregon." Earlier, at a news confer ence, Hatfield said Rockefel ler "would offer the strongest choice for Republican victory in 1954," if the GOP primar ies were held at this time.
