Washington (Special) - The
House passed the Infer.ior ap
propriations bill Tuesday
without discussing or mollify
ing tile Appropriations com

O'&S tinibenland funds.
This action left standing a

suggested can be made up

which the 18 O&C counties of

Strategically Unwise
Rep. Robert B. Duncan (D
Ore.) said it was considered
strategically unwise to raise
the issue on the House floor
where few Congressmen from
other states could be expected
to comprehend the complex
history of the O&C timber
lands which provide the coun
ties currently with some $15
million annually from tim
ber revenues.
The Appropriations commit

that the Interior committee

An Oregon slate sanitary

Richard E. Hatchard, chief
of air pollution control for
the SSA, spent the afternoon
including a three-man sub
committee of the city council,
that if Medford "maintains a
certain level of control within
the city, the state sanitary
authority would have an ob
ligation to maintain the same
level of control outside the

Musa Predicts
Good Chance for
Senate Approval
No Difficulty
Expeeled in House
Salem-WPP-A 4-cent a pack
tax on cigarettes was approv
ed Tuesday night by the
House Tax Committee, and
Senate President Ben Musa
said' today he 'felt the meas
ure had a "reasonable chance"
of being approved 'in the Senate.
The bill, designed to raise
$18 million a biennium, is
not expected to encounter any
difficulty in the House.
The committee also voted
approval of a "one shot" rev
enue measure designed to
bring in an additional $11.5
million during the 1963-65
biennium.
The measure would require
employers lo submit state in-
tame taxes withheld from
employees on a monthly ba
sis. The taxes now are paid
on a quarterly basis.
The cigarette tax proposal
cleared the House Tax Com
mittee by a 6-3 vote. Voting
against it were Committee
Chairman Richard Eymann
(D-Marcola), Cornelius Bate
man (D-Salem) and W. O.
Kelsay (D-Roseburg).
Yes Votes Listed
Voting for the cigarette tax
were Reps. Victor Atiyeh (R
Beaverton), F. F. Montgom
ery (R-Eugene), Clinton
Height (D-Baker), Jack Smith
(D-Condon), C. R. Hoyt (R
Corvallis) and Sidney Bazett
(R-Grants Pass).
The House committee plans
to introduce a special bill
which would in effect give
about 20 per cent of the tax
revenue to cities.
The proposed m e a s u r
would tax cigarettes only.
Musa said he felt all tobacco
products should be taxed. He
discounted the argument that
It would .be too cosily to col
lect the tax from other to
bacco products.
Because the cigarette tax
could not go into effect at the
first of the next biennium, it
is estimated about $15 mil

the 1963-65 period, and $18

Reduction Expanded
The House, in a moderately
trimming mood, expanded on
sine the theory behind, and

Asked about the success of

replied that primarily an ed
ucational program had been
undertaken there to stimu
late voluntary action.
A city councilman express
ed concern that if an air pol
lution control ordinance were
too stringently worded and
enforced it might have a re
strictive effect on the area's
business climate.
"Air pollution control
