Newspaper Page TextWithholding Payment Bill Completed by Committee finlnmflrP!LTh HniiKe Tax Committee Tuesday night completed work on a "one shot" $11 to $12.5 million rev enue bill which would require employers to make withhold ing tax payments monthly in stead of quarterly. The accomplishment was a turning point in the 1083 leg islature. It was the first rev enue measure to be completed during the session. When the final amendment was made to the bill HB1076, Chairman Richard Eymann (D-Marcola) asked the commit tee to hold it for release in - a package with other revenue measures being considered. The bill would apply to about 7,035 employers who withhold more than S100 a Stocks Push Ahead For Best Morning Gain in Some Time New York-(UPD-Stocks to day pushed ahead for their best morning gain on the heaviest trading in several weeks.

In addition to the "one shot" revenue gain during the 1963-85 biennium, the meas ure would produce more than $117,000 a year in added inter, est payments. Herbert C. Hardy, rcpre. senting the Oregon Food Council, was the only person to oppose the measure at the committee's hearing. He said it would be an added burden on employers. Tax Commissioner Fred Hoefke suggested several amendments which were adopted by the committee to make the proposal parallel federal tax laws.

TOO Regional Edition Medford MEDFORD, Russia Says U.S. Navy Ships Fired on Moscow (UPD The Soviet Union charged today that a group of three United States Navy warships fired on a So viet fishing trawler with dum my warheads about 70 miles east of Norfolk, Va., five days ago. The charge was made in a note to the United States pub lished tonight in the govern ment newspaper Izvestia. The newspaper said the note was handed to the State Depart ment in Washington Tuesday. In Washington, the State Department acknow 1 e d g e d that "we received this note Tuesday from the Soviet em bassy. A spokesman added, "We are Investigating as we always do when we receive such charges." The note said the incident took place March 8, last Fri day. It said the ships involved were two "Boston" type cruis ers and one "Franks" type de stroyer. The Izvestia version of the note said the American ships approached within five miles of the Soviet vessel, which was identified as SRTR 9007, and fired two volleys from their guns, using dummy war heads. It said the volleys landed approximately 130 meters (426 feet) from the Soviet ves sel, which the Russians claimed was fishing in the open sea. The note said the first vol leys were fired at 12:15 p.m.. but did not specify what time was being used. The American ships then moved to within one kilometer (slightly more than half a mile) from the Soviet vessel and fired two more dummy warhead volleys that landed 60 meters from the trawler, the note claimed. 'By such actions American warships endangered the So viet trawler and its crew," the note said. "The Soviet govern Foreign RUSSIA, KUWAIT TO ESTABLISH RELATIONS Moieow-lliril-The Soviet Union and Kuwait will itibllih diplomatic relations ai the ambassadorial lavel, the Soviet n.wi agency Tais announced Tuesday night, Tass said the Soviet daciiion followed a proposal by the government of the oil-rich Rad Saa nation.

Jordan was attacked by about 50 Indians in th Huachi Lorero area, where he had gone to try to negotiate a settle ment of a long-standing dispute over water rights.

It clogged traffic, closed schools and delayed trains and planes. Three inches had fallen when the stinging snowstorm let up at noon. PONTIAC CO., OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1963 ment looks upon the shooting at the fishing trawler of the Soviet Union by American Navy ships as a rude violation of generally accepted norms of international law, of prin ciples of freedom of naviga tion on the open sea and as an act of arbitrary rule which can lead to serious conse quences. "The Soviet government states to the American gov ernment its protest connected with the above stated provoc ative actions of American California Education Dispute Headed for Legislative Sacramento - (UPD A dis pute over who holds the reins in California's huge educa tional system today headed to ward a legislative study. Frankly, nobody seemed to know the answer to the prob lem at this point. And the lawmakers weren't too anxious to tangle with the vocal supporters of Public Instruction Superinten dent Max Rafferty. The Senate fact finding committee on education scheduled a session to take up the matter of whether Raffer ty or the state board of edu cation runs the state's educa tional system. But what they would do was a foregone con clusion. Chairman Donald Grumsky (R - Watsonville) said the whole matter would be stud ied during the next year or two - and maybe a conclusion would be reached in time for the 1965 legislature, A week ago, Sen. Hugh M. Burns, president pro tempore Briefs "The Pentlae CatatUa-Ue lewMt-srlMcl Pewtue hat who'd ere lata It?. Wh.a yea tea kew law, J kaaw It aat 4 n't aajr ! da wltkaat PaatU.'t raaailaaia, ride.

The note made no mention, in the version published here, of recent American charges that Cuban fighter planes had fired at an American-owned shrimp boat. Western observers believed the Soviets might have chosen to publicize the alleged firing on a Soviet . trawler as a counter-propaganda move. Study of the upper chamber, sent identical letters to Grumsky and Sen. Hugh P. Donnelly (D-Turlock) suggesting they look into the "hodge podge of instruction" on the powers of the superintendent and the board. Donnelly is chairman of the standing committee on education. For his part, Burns said that it appeared to him the superintendent should have the responsibility for fixing policy of operation of schools. And he said the board should have a "purely advisory" capacity. Donnelly answered with a resolution signed by 28 sen ators - which probably will be introduced late today-asking that the matter be sent to an interim committee for study for at least a year. "The position and status of the state superintendent of public instruction, state board of education and department of education in the structure of public education in this state is not clearly set forth in the education code," said Donnelly's resolution. He pointed out that the "controlling sections" of state law have not been substantial ly revised since 1929 and the dispute had been continuing for "many years." For example, he said that in 1943 the attorney general tried to solve the problem and concluded by saying the law itself was in conflict, contra dictory and ambiguous. Flue Fire Spreads to Detiroy Talent Home Talent - A flue fire that spread to the roof and attic burned down the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Young, 3808 Laurel lane, north of Talent Monday afternoon.

Young was work ing and the couple's four chil dren were at school and with neighbors.

Coverage Favored For Jobs on Farms Salem-IUPJ Three of the most dangerous farm occu pations should be brought un der State Industrial Accident coverage, Sen. Don Willner (D-Portland) told the Senate Labor and Industries Commit tee Tuesday. He spoke for a bill that would classify as "hazardous" fruit picking from a platform or ladder, cattle raising, and growing or harvesting hay or grain. Willner said these jobs were far more dangerous than other kinds of work already classi fied as hazardous. Such a classification makes coverage mandatory. Willner said less than half the farm employers carry such coverage. He said bringing more farmers under the act would make farm coverage less costly. Willner said benefits should be based on the average wage over the preceding year. Corduroy Pinwale. Durable 42-in. wide. Reg. Everlon Rayon Panels s 60x81. Open chain weave.

The key action came when Chairman John Dellenback (R-Medford) called the com mittee together and gave it a mid-session alternative: Step up action on the document or forget it for this session. The committee voted unani mously to go ahead. The concensus of members was that the likeliest product for floor action would be a compromise between the pres ent and proposed constitu tions. Controversial sections of the new one, the committee indicated, might be sent out separately to stand or fall on their own. Dellenback said the com mittee decided that none of its differences so far with the senate committee were too critical to be resolved. A few hours later, the House and Senate committees met to continue joint meet ings, this time on the contro versial executive article. Strong criticism came from Clarence Brooks of the Grange, who said his organi zation opposed making the governor the only elective of ficer. "The Grange is not ready to surrender the people's right to choose their offic ials," he said. He said the secretary of state and treasurer should re ICOA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SAIEM, OREGON OFFERS FOR SALE 900,000 SHARES SUBJECT TO PRIOR SALE OF COMMON STOCK AT $2.75 PER SHARE Onion resident! may lond for a prospscrui which eon taim full information concerning this ttoek ottering, by filllna out and tending the coupon below ...

Senate Committee Chair man Walter Pearson reported "there is nothing done by these two that couldn't be done by anyone," and added that the change would make the governor more respon sible. Sen. Ted Hallock (D-Port-land) questioned whether Brooks was speaking for all the Grange members. The developments came a few days after President Ben Musa attended a joint meet ing of the committees. Musa, who has said he thinks the document has little chance, told the committees, "I think you're doing a fine job and ... I have no inten tion to circumvent this com mittee or use my office to de feat your proposals." "I think you're going to have a big selling job," he added. The document needs a two thirds vote in each House to pass the legislature.
