ventory tax relief through
tax on net business income,
and requests for property tax
exemptions for labor temples

House-approved inventory tax
relief measure were Doug

dustries; Hoger Martin, an

Lew Norris, Oregon Farm Bu.
. reau Federation.
Claimed Inequitable
All claimed inventory taxes
were inequitable, hindered
business expansion, and that
the House bill was "a step in
the right direction."
The House measure would
levy a one per cent tax on
net business income to pay
for a 25 per cent reduction in
inventory tax.

Talk Finances
United Nations, N. Y. ,-IUPD-
United Nations delegates to
day turned to private talks be'
hind the scenes to seek a com'
promise solution for the or
ganization's multi-million dol
lar financial troubles.
Secretary General . T h a n t
warned the assembly s budget
ary committee Wed n e s d a y
that the financial problem is
perhaps the most serious one
facing the United Nations.
"Despite the various meas
ures that have been taken, the
unhappy fact remains that the
organization continues in a
state of serious financial dif
ficulty," he said. , .
The Budgetary Committee,
Instructed to find a better way
to pay lot the UN peace-keeping
missions in the Congo and
Middle East, recessed until
Monday after its opening ses
sion Wednesday. The recess
will give delegates time for
private consultations.
The deficit' now totals near
ly $100 million. It Is caused
by the. failure of the Soviet
bloc, France, South Africa,
Portugal, and some other
countries to pay their share of
the peace-keeping costs. .

According to state police,

posal, and accused business
men of wanting businesses
which do not now pay inveii'
tory tax, such as professional
firms, to share in the inven
tory tax load.
Pearson said a sales tax
should be enacted, and that
inventory taxes should be
eliminated.
Walter Lofgren and Tom
Scanlon of the AFL-CJO said
they wanted labor temples
exempted from property taxes
in the interests of fairness
and equity."
Lodges, Legion halls,
Granges and other fraternal
groups now are exempted
from property taxes.
In a unique display of
candor, the labor spokesmen
said they did not feel any
property should be exempted
from property taxes, but as
long as some were exempted
they wanted to share in the
benefits.
Representatives of the Port
land and Salem Chambers of
Commerce said the House-ap
proved bill which would grant
the tax relief to labor tem
ples should be amended to
include property owned by
Chambers of Commerce.

Brown's Income
Tax Bill Passes
Sacramento - (tlPD - Gov.
Edmund E. Brown chalked up
victory No. 2 today on his tax
reform program.
By a pencil-thin 8-7 vote
the Assembly Revenue and
Taxation committee late
Wednesday cleared Brown s
bill to establish a state with
holding system for personal
income taxes.
It would go into effect July
1964, for an estimated 5
million of the state's taxpay
ers. But when tney prepared
their tax for calendar 1964,
the taxpayers would be al
lowed to write off 50 per cent
of the tax under a "forgive-
ness" principle.
Shortly after approving the
withholding bill, the commit
tee cleared another measure
to exempt from any income
tax single persons who would
pay under $5 and married
couples with a tax of less than
$10.
This measure would affect
about 850,000 taxpayers and
cost the state $2.5 million a
year in lost revenue. It fills
campaign pledge made by
the governor. .
Last week, the committee
pproved a bill to bring $22
million added revenue to the
state next fiscal year by ac
celerating payment of the
gross insurance tax from
yearly to quarterly.

Opinion Asked on
Overseas Air Fares
Washlngton-HOT-The Senate
Commerce Committee today
called for the Stale Depart
ment's opinion on a bill to
give the Civil Aeronautics
Board power to regulate in
ternational air fares.
The administration measure
was sent to Congress Tuesday.
Committee Chairman Warren
O. Magnuson. who introduced
It, said "we want to proceed
promptly in this matter."
The bill would give the
CAB specific authority to reg
ulate international air fares
in much the same way as it
regulates domestic rates.
CAB Chairman Allan S.
Boyd told the committee that
once the authority is granted
the United States can seek
basic reduction on overseas
rates, not just a repeal of the
5 per cent increase to which
the CAB has submitted.

Rep. John Mosser (R-Beav-erton)
expressed hope that
would encourage the states
schools and college systems to
take part more seriously in
educational television.
The subcommittee abandon
ed a proposal to put educa
tional television and radio
under an independent council
and decided to leave it under
higher education, where it is
a semi-independent branch.
Cultural Broadcasts
Most of the money ap
proved by the committee for
the 1963-65 biennium, $696,
900 of it, would go to the
system for cultural broadcasts
and its "college of the air."
Of the rest, $60,000 would
go to higher education and
$80,000 to the Department of
Education for school - pro
gramming. The effect of the budget ap
proved by the subcommittee
would be to hold back tne ex
pansion of the five year old
state educational television
system, which had hoped to
increase its broadcast hours.
Educational radio is included
in the budget. ,
The subcommittee indicated
it may also approve $101,000
in state matching funds to
construct the proposed Mary's
Peak broadcasting facilities
which -would increase the
range of ETV farther up the
Columbia river.
The subcommittee also dis
cussed a new proposal on

what to do about the state's
two tuberculosis hospitals in
Portland and Salem.
The legislators are trying to
consolidate the operations.
The governor suggested
moving all patients to Salem
for a $600,000 saving. Oppon
ents replied most patients
come from the Portland area,
and the expert medical help is
mainly, at the Portland hos
pital. The Portland hospital, how
ever, is not large enough for
all patients, now about 160.
Rep. Ross Morgan (D
Gresham) revealed the Mult
nomah County Commission
has expressed willingness tc
handle state patients at its
county hospital and annex be
tween Troutdale and Fair
view, which would supple
ment the Portland hospital.
Morgan said the rate pro
posed by the county would
save the state an additional
$300,000.
No action was taken.
