Withholding Payment Bill
Completed by Committee

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

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.
Hoefke pointed out that Or

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

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,

and that necessary measures
will be undertaken not to
allow such actions in future."
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.

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.

-An anti-revision plea from
the Oregon State Grange met
with some round rebuttal.
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

"there is nothing done by

that the change would make

questioned whether
Brooks was speaking for all
the Grange members.
The developments came a
few days after President Ben

ing of the committees.
Musa, who has said he
thinks the document has little
chance, told the committees,
