Othell Mallouf, left, and Christopher Bratt, right, partners in a construction firm, said that they withheld portions of their Federal income tax as a protest against Tighter Philippine Sought in View of Washington - (IPI) - Strong congressional support was building up today for rewrit ing the Philippine war dam age act to block fat fees for lobbyists representing individ ual claimants. The new drive was spurred b y sensational disclosures Thursday by the Senate For eign Relations Committee of huge fees already paid and the campaign contributions o f Washington lobbyist John A. O'DonncIl to more than 20 lawmakers or their associates in 1060. Chairman J. William Ful brlght (D-Ark.) called a meet ing of the committee or next Tuesday to consider changing lho luw to muko the $73 mil lion lolal payment directly to the Philippine government In stead of to individual claim ants. The administration wanted that approach last year but Congress, with O'Donnell as chief lobbylist for Philippine interests, passed the law pro viding for Individual pay ments.

O'Donnell, who was excus ed from public testimony for medical reasons, testified in a closed session March 1 that he represented about 136 claimants. He also represents the Philippine Sugar associa tion, many of whose members also are interested in the claim bill. Fulbrlght estimated Thurs day that the 57-year-old law yer-lobbyist stood to receive from $150,000 to $430,000 If all his claimants were paid in full. He said O'Donnell alio had received an estimated $'!50, 000 to $300,000 in payments for representing various re ligious orders in the Philip pines who benefited from a special 1856 reparations bill to pay for war damage to their schools, hospitals, and other facilities.

PEARSON Salem-WMi-The Senate Edu cation committee approved a bill Thursday to stem the cre ation of new community col leges for at least two years without pulling the pins from under eight existing ones and one budding one. The bill was approved 6-2 and sent to the Ways and Means Committee. It also con tains a provision that would require more local support for community colleges Portland and Salem. It carries a clause that would let Douglas county go ahead with its planned col lege. The bill was approved in the face of community col lege growth in the past two years that threatens to cost the financially-pinched state increasingly large sums if not checked. Two-Year Moratorium The bill would: -Put a two-year moratori um on new community col leges. After that, legislative approval for a new center would be required. Commu nity college districts, how ever, could still be formed. -Block state building money for new colleges until 1967, including Douglas county. Eight present centers, how ever, might get more building money. -Revise the formula where by the state pays as much as two-thirds of operating costs. Estimates say the change would increase Portland's local share per student from $22 to $48 and Salem's from $15 to $64. Unless their costs change, other parts of the formula would leave state support unchanged for Cen tral Oregon, Southwest Ore gon, Blue Mountain, Treasure Valley, Clatsop and Eugene Community Colleges. The committee rejected an amendment that would have let The Dalles squeak under the wire to go ahead with its proposed community college. The district plans to file ils petitions this week. Pressure for its inclusion is expected to be strong and a change could be made to include it.

Set America By Car in the APRIL 21st Issue of Courses a House floor debate looming .f on two of them, : The House committee adopt ed a plan similar to the pres ent one for handing out legis lative seats. The change is that a flexible feature would be added in determining the pop ulation figure per lawmaker, so that the House and Senate would still end up with 60 and 30 members. Oregon's present plan has a built-in conflict which this would eliminate. Meanwhile, Reps. Richard Eymann (D - Marcola) and Veola Wilmot (D-Eugene) said they plan to take a minority report to the floor urging adoption of the plan of the Constitutional Revision Com mission. That plan would bring Oregon even nearer "one man, one vote." The House committee action came after the Senate com mittee earlier adopted, and the House rejected, the plan advocated by Rep. Stafford Hansell (R-Hermiston), which would make sizes of the houses flexible, another way of eliminating the present built-in conflict. The two committees have been trying to find common ground on eacli point in the proposed constitution. But tile document would go first to the House, and the committee concensus seemed to be in favor of testing senti ment on the two apportion ment plans before worrying more about the conflict wilh the Senate committee. In effect, the plans adopted by the House and Senate com mittees are not far apart. The committees nudged by a milestone Thursday, but didn't get far past it. The ystarted going through the revised constitution for final adoption, getting part way through the first article, the bill of rights. Progress was halting, and a procedure for final committee action re mained to be smoothed out if the committees are to com plete work on the rest of tne document without ending up with too many differences.

The French are the most fa mous soupmakers. In France it is the custom to have the "soup pot" on the back of the stove-into this the French homemaker tosses odd bits of meats, fowl, gravy, vegetable, water, etc., and concocts soups that are a pure pleasure to eat. . . . Remember soups should never be served alone let your imagination and good judgment add glamour to a good soup. Here are a few suggestions: . . . Pep up crackers by sprinkling with melted butter and cheese, poppy seeds or onion or garlic salt, heat in oven; with onion soup, try rounds of toast with Parmesan cheese; for the children, float popcorn on lop of the soup and see how they will go for it. . .
