INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS Two families in Mill Val

taxes. 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

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. Fulbrlght said quick action

late this year and the foreign
claims settlement commission
will begin making payments.
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,

for representing various re

pines who benefited from a
special 1856 reparations bill
to pay for war damage to
their schools, hospitals, and

Measure Allows
Douglas County
Plan To Proceed
By ANN H. 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.
Local Man Charged
With Theft from Car
Gerald Robert Rcneau. 19,
of 3000 Burnett rd., Medford,
was arrested by Medford po
lice Thursday and lodged In
Jackson county jail on a
charge of larceny from a mo
tor vehicle.
The arrest was an out
growth of Ihc theft of two
scat cushions Wednesday night
from a car owned by Ramon
Rex Barker, 732 West Second
st. The cushions were valuKi
al $64.50.
Also involved were two
sports car windows which
were reported stolen from
Whitney Oldsmobile company,
415 South Riverside ave.,
sometime Wednesday night.
The windows were valued at
$102.
Rcneau gave statements to
officers alleging he bought
the articles from another man
and that he was not sure
where or how the man had ob
tained them.

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.

Food For Thought
Probably one of our old
est foods is soup it has
been the mainstay of
man's diet since the be
ginning of time. 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. . .
