Federal Tax Cut
Should Up Stale,
Local Revenues
Washington (UPI1 -Treasury
Secretary Douglas Dillon ad
vised Congress today that a
$10 billion federal tax cut
should boost state and local
tax revenues by $2.9 billion
s year by increasing personal
income.
The Treasury estimate, list
ing combined state-local rev
enue increases ranging from
$4 million in Alaska to $410
million in New York, was
made for the Senate-House
Economic committee headed
bv Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-
u'u.
The estimate was based on
a committee staff guess that
a $10 billion tax cut would
hike the gross national prod
uct by about $40 billion a
year.
Stat Rates Unchanged
Dillon's projection of in
creased revenues - $1.5 bil
lion for the 50 slates and $1.4
billion for all local govern
ments - would become true
in 1965 when the "full im
pact" of the federal tax re
duction would be felt.
It would be accomplished,
the Treasury said, without
changes or additions in state
or local tax rates. Douglas
called this "heartening news'
for state agd local taxpayers.
Washington -0IPD -President
Kennedy's tax program would
increase state and local tax
revenues in Oregon by about
$34 million, the Treasury De
partment estimated today.
Of the total increase, the
Treasury said, about $21 mil
lion would be in state tax rev.
enues - a 10 per cent increase
and $13 million in local rev
enues - a 7 per cent boost.

Plans to Improve
Willow Creek Lake
Made by County
A contract will be made
with Willow creek lake con
cessionaire Lloyd Morris to
maintain and improve the rec
reation area, the Jackson
county court and county parks
and recreation commission
agreed at a special meeting
last night.
"And we are going to
charge everybody who goes
by the gate," County Commis
sioner Don Faber insisted. No
user's fee was set, however.
This may be worked out
during a luncheon meeting
some time this week with
Commission Chairman Lau
rance V. Espey, Parks Direc
tor Neil Ledward, Morris and
Robert Lee, director of the
Medford water department.
The lake supplements stream
flow on Big Butte creek.
Improvements Planned
Improvements planned are
extension of a road into a
planned parking area next
fiscal year. Restrooms, picnic
sites and a road around the
lake are planned in the fu
ture, Ledward said.

School administrators were
worried today over what they
fear is an increasing revolt
against school property taxes.
They expect it to be much
harder to pass their levies
next year.
Districts voting against the
Faber said. Funds should be
shifted from other recreation
areas, he suggested.
According to the record
more money has been spent
on road improvements at Wil
low lake than at Howard
Prairie. County Judge Earl
M. Miller said.
Faber also suggested that a
few rest rooms and picnic
tables be established in the
undeveloped areas around
Howard Prairie lake since
over half of the people go
there."
Judge Miller said a user's
fee would have to be set for
Howard Prairie, but it would
not be an entrance fee. Mrs.
Hanley Heffernan, parks com
mission member, , said this
county is the only one which
does not charge for use of fire
wood. Invested In Area
Both Miller and Faber said
the county has spent all the
money and time it should
spend on development of
Howard Prairie. The county
has $101,000 invested in the
developed area and consider
able money on road develop
ment there. This year it has
spent over the $4,000 the
county made from the conces
sion last year.
A sewage treatment plant
costing an estimated $14,000
to $15,000 is needed at How
ard Prairie because of a. bad
drainage field problem, Led
ward added, although he
hopes to design a drainage
field with county health de
partment help which may do
the Job.
Parks commission and coun
ty court members agreed that
a letter should be sent the
bureau of reclamation asking
that the present location of
boat docks be changed.
Ledward suggested excava
tion of a boat harbor with
breakwater and riprapping
the parking lot bank plus a
boat ramp with a better pitch.
The bureau should finance
these improvements, since it
selected the windiest spot on

Kennedy Jolts
Pentagon With
Military Change
Navy, Air Force
Chiefs Appointed
Washington -flJPD- President
Kennedy has jarred the Pen
tagon by ordering the third
shakeup in the military high
command in three years.
A surprise White House an
nouncement Monday also jolt
ed some congressional sources,
who privately claimed the ad
ministration sought to assure
conformity with its own de
fense views.
Mystery Denied
White House and Defense
department sources denied
there was any mystery in the
new move, regarding it as a
normal development.
Kennedy disclosed that he
will -not reappoint Adm.
Ceorge B. Anderson as chief
of naval operations, but in
stead will-jump Adm. David
McDonald, 56, over five
senior officers into the top
Navy post. Anderson, top mili
tary man in the Cuba crisis
last fall, ends his two - year
term Aug. 1.
Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, Air
Force chief of staff whose fu
ture has been a subject of
speculation, will be re
appointed. But his second term will be
for just one year rather than
two. He ends his first term of
two years on July 1.
Differ With Civilians
Both Anderson and LeMay
have differed fron. their civi
lian superiors in -the' White
House and Defense Depart
ment on several major de
fense issues the TFX war-
plane contract, the Skybolt
missile and the RS70 war-
plane, for examples.
But they n have done so
through official channels, in
their own services, in the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and be
fore congressional , commit
tees.
Both are 56 and thus sev
eral years from retirement
age.

Cape Canaveral, Fla. -HIPIU
America today successfully or
bited a new Telstar commu
nications satellite that may
beam the first live intercon
tinental television pictures of
manned flight into space
next week.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration an
nounced at 9:21 a.m. (PDT)
that the 175-pound Telstar-2
'is in orbit" and that "signals
are being received fine.
Scientists planned to trans
mit the first television signals
to the new moonlet at 5:30
p.m. (PDT) today. The trans
mission was expected io con
sist of a video test pattern to
determine how well the com
plex satellite could do its job.
The near-perfect shot also
raised hopes that Telstr-2
may transmit to Europe live
television pictures of the
space flight of U. S. Astronaut
L. Gordon Cooper Jr., now set
for next Tuesday.
These television signals
would be sent by land line
from Cape Canaveral to An
dover, Maine, and flashed
from there to the satellite
speeding across the Atlantic
between North America and
Europe.
If all goes well, Telstar-2
will amplify the pictures and
beam them back to ground
stations in England and
France where they will be
transmitted into the homes of
millions of viewers on the
