It tabled a bill that would have put a partial property tax on non - profit fraternal and social groups. The income and cigarette tax measures arc the commit tee's big revenue-raising pack age. The former is designed to provide $35 million in new revenues and the latter 315 million. The cigarette tax was re jected once by the House, but grabbed back by the commit tee to wait for the rest of the package. If it fails again, rates in the income tax bill could be raised to make up the difference. The income tax bill poses two kinds of tax. One Is a net tax for all earning above 3300, In order to pick up new low-bracket taxpay ers. The other is a graduated tax, with deductions and de pendents taken into account. A key revenue-raising fea ture is elimination of the de duction for the federal income tax. Other deductions, how ever, arc retained, and the standard deduction is doubled from 5 to 10 per cent to avoid much long form filing. Instead of exemptions, the bill would grant credits against the final tax bill. The cigarette tax bill calls for a 4-cent a pack tax. The bank tax bill redefines financial institutions in order to tax banks at 9 per cent. It is retroactive to 1957 to vali date taxes the banks have paid under protest. The local budget bill, sub ject of many hours of work, revamps local budgeting pro cedures As for taxing non-profit groups, the committee earlier bowed to church and hospital pressures and deleted them from the bill. Fraternal and social groups demanded the same treatment. Most commit tee members agreed the mat ter should be the subject of an interim study. State Files Reply In Freeman Case Washington - lUPli - The state of Oregon has filed an answer to an appeal of Jcan nacc June Freeman, 21, con demned to die for throwing a 6-ycar-old boy to his death In the Crooked River Gorge in 1961. Attorneys for Miss Freeman claimed in her appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court that she was not brought before a magistrate for a preliminary hearing and that statements by her admitted at the trial were obtained during a period of illegal detention when she was deprived of assistance of a lawyer. The state's answer was filed by John M. Copenhaver, Redmond attorney, who was special prosecutor in the case, and Jefferson County District Attorney Warren Albright. They said she was under law ful detention and had full legal rights. The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether to hear her appeal. Miss Freeman's execution has been postponed indefinitely pending out come of the appeal.

L000 BURIAL POLICY Rejection of Commission Plan Salem - tUPli - The House and Senate Committees on constitutional revision hit an impasse Tuesday on the charged issue of legislative ap portionment, Both voted to reject the new plan proposed by the Commission on Constitutional Revision, which would have brought Oregon closer than ever to "one man, one vote." Then the committees con sidered the more moderate plan advocated by Rep Staf ford Hansell, (R-Hermiston). The senate committee vot ed 7-2 in favor of the Hansell plan. The House committee rejected it 4-5. Alternatives Left The deadlock left the com mittees with these probable alternatives: - The House could recon sider and go along with the Senate on the Hansell plan. - The Senate could recon sider, perhaps finding a com mon ground with the House In Oregon's present plan. -The proposed new consti tution could go to the floor without agreement between the two committees on a plan for handing out legislative seats, leaving the question to be ironed out if the document gets by the House. Oregon presently is first in the nation in allocating legis lative seats on a population basis. The maximum possible disparity in voter strength is 3-1. The new proposal would have reduced the maximum disparity to 2-1. under the Hansen plan, however, it would be possible in some circumstances for one senator or representative to represent more than three times the population of another. Document Threatened Sen. Anthony Yturri (R- Ontario), who moved for the Hansell plan, said unless an acceptable plan were found he and many others would try to defeat the new constitution on that one issue. "The very least we should do is leave the language ex actly as it Is in the present constitution," he said. It was noted the committees could send a separate alterna tive to the people outside the proposal contained in a new document. The committees agreed on another proposal: To remove the prohibition against lot teries from the constitution and put it into the statutes. Sen. Thomas Mahoney (D Portland) said it was ridicu lous to have a ban on lotteries in the constitution when Ore gon permits gambling in the form of horse and dog race belting. The committees decided the proposed constitution lets the slate lease offshore lands for extraction of minerals with out any change needed in the language. Salem - HP!' - Ways and Means Committee members, trying to shut down a hospital, found themselves Tuesday night at the heart of the "dol lars versus humanity" issue. The governor has proposed shutting down the 80 - bed Medical School tuberculosis hospital at Portland and mov ing its patients to the 179- Light Plane Forced Down in Sagebrush Ontario, Ore. -il'PIi- A light plane was forced to land in sagebrush north of here Tues day night but three members of a Boise family escaped injury. Pilot Price Bruner, 40, said he had to put the four-place ship down in the sagebrush about a mile north of the On tario airport when the engine quit. With him were his wife, Etta Mae, 40, and their son, Robert, 10. The three walked to a road and then hailed a passing motorist. bed state tuberculosis hospital at Salem. Neither is full. The university wants to keep its TB teaching beds. On the other hand, it also wants more teaching beds in other fields. Ways and Means would like to cut the cost of a "split op eration." Slate Finance Director Freeman Holmer said con solidating TB cases at Salem - and giving the university 40 more teaching beds in place of the TB beds at Port land - would still save Slj 416. Witnesses and committee members made these observa tions: Dr. Lawrence M. Lowell, chest surgeon and spokesman for the Multnomah County Medical Society: the most TB patients, and the best treat ment, arc in the Portland area. The university hospital has had "a number of firsts." Rep. John Mosscr (R-Beav-erton): We are not challenging belter TB care, but we are dealing in dollars. The ques tion is whether we can use dollars better for humanity one way or another. Dr. Ambrose Churchill, TB control director. State Bo.ird of Health: Oregon has a chance to make real history if it pumps savings back into TB control. Uncertainty is de moralizing the Salem hospital staff. There cannot be two classes of treatment, one in Portland, one in Salem. Rep. Ross Morgan iD-Grcsh ' am): The problem is we have t a S3 million hospital in Salem tht is "an awful waste the way it is." Perhaps its patients could be transferred to Port land and it could be put to another use. Holmer: While a transfer ot i patients to Salem has some i medical disadvantages, it i3 ; one of the least expensive ways of providing teaching i beds. The legislators made no de I cision. Teaching Machines Are Highly Touted Stanford, Calif. - IUPD - The flexibility of teaching ma chines makes it possible to teach by multiple choice, true or false methods and by discovery. The latter's a high ly touted teaching principle. Dr. Wilbur Schramm, di rector of Stanford university's institute for communication research, said this is a find ing of great importance "for it points to the possibility of multiplying the efforts of the gifted teachers, extending their influence beyond their physical presence and avail able hours."
