SCENE AT ST. PETER'S SQUARE - As dawn broke in
Rome Saturday morning, there was still a small crowd
standing in St. Peter's square after an all-night vigil, await
ing word on the condition of Pope John XXIII. (UPI)
Legislature Passes Income Tax Bill,
Kills Workmen's Benefits, Sales Tax
Sslem - UPD - The Ore
gon Senate last night re
cessed until 1 p.m. Sunday,
throwing the legislative, ses
sion into its 140th day. San
ale and Houie conferees
were deadlocked over high
er education salary bills.
The House was expected to
recess also.
Salem -(UPD- The hardest
lobbied bill of two sessions
was stamped down Saturday
night in the waning hours of
the 1963 Oregon legislature.
The Oregon House killed
the ' "three-way" workmen's
compensation bill, 25-34. On
the bill rode millions of dol
lars in business for insurance
firms - and benefits for In
jured workers. ;
With its death, the badly
split legislature pulled itself
together and concentrated on
a handful of business remain
ing before it could adjourn
late Saturday night.
Adjournment, which would
end a record 139-day session,
11 ttays longer than 'the pre
vious record in 1957, still had
not come as of 11 p.m.. Satur
day.
The big higher education
budget hung in the final hours
on a dispute over whether the
state's tuberculosis patients
should be concentrated at.the
state hospital at Salem, or
shared with the University
hospital at Portland as they
are now. A conference com
mittee tried to iron out the
dispute.
Another conference, com
mittee debated whether to
give college teachers and
state employees the extra $1.3
million ordered by the House,
or remove it, as the Senate
wanted.
But most of the 'activities,
and moods, of the final day
swirled around the ' "three
way" bill. Tensions were high.
Legislators were tired,-restless,
jumpy, and bitter over
some of the fighting.
The House at first refused
to provide the two-thirds ma
jority needed to get the
measure before it without
waiting several days. The Sen
ate retaliated by threatening
to go home until Monday, and
insisted the bill at least be
brought to a vote.
The House buckled, put the
bill to a vote, and killed it.
Sales Tax Dies
Measures for a' sales tax
and for registration of lobby
ists died more quietly than
they lived.
The sales tax measure
which would have been re
ferred to the voters at the No
vember, 1964, election,.' died
in conference committee.
A tentative agreement on
the sales tax blew up Friday
when both Senate and House
conferees resigned m a dis
pute over whether, groceries
should 'be. taxed., , ; .
The House said yes, -t he.
Senate said no. k
New House conferees were
W. O. Kelsay (D-Roseburg)
and Jack Smith (D-Condon).
New Senate conferees were
Harry Boivin (D - Klamath
Falls) and L. W. Newbry (R
Ashland). Three college construction
bills passed easily in the final
hours. One will ask the vot
ers next May to okay $30
million bond issue for college
instructional buildings. Only
$12.5 million would be used
next biennium.
A companion bill adds $11. 5
million in general funds for
the $1963-65 period.
Tax Election Possible
A bill providing for a spe
cial tax election, if voters
want one, made its way
through the legislature. If the
voters refer a $60 million
compromise tax program, the
election would be held about
mid-October.
A bill providing an extra
circuit judge each for Lane
and Washington counties got
through.
Gov. Mark Hatfield finally
got a government reorganiza
tion tidbit. Both houses ap
proved grouping agencies into
a department of commerce
with five divisions: banking,
insurance, corporation, real
estate and planning and de
velopment. It will get a trial

A $48 million increase in
the state income tax was on
its way to the governor's of
fice after finally having clear
ed the legislature Friday.
Passage - of the income tax
measure climaxed a 14-day
deadlock.
A tax commission spokes
man said the bill raised the
state income tax 28 per cent,
but that the out-of-pocket cost
to tht average taxpayer
would range from 3.5 to 6
per cent'because of a change
in handling federal income
tax deductions.

tax hike 22-8 after it cleared

Pack Mules Killed
In Line 01 Duty
Yreka - Two pack mules,
Big Joe and Little Red, lost
their lives in line of duty last
week on a Klamath National
Forest trail.
The two were part of a six
mule string moving a timber
inventory crew into the upper
end of Thompson creek when
one mule balked throwing the
string off the trail and caus
ing Big Joe and two others
to drop into the stream.
The mules lost their footing
in the fast water, according
to District Ranger Charles W.
Burk of Sciad Valley.
Quick action by Glen Hictt,
chief packer of the Klamath
National forest, saved one of
the mules. Hiett cut him free
after wading into high water.
Big Joe was unable to regain
his footing because of the load
he carried while Little Red
was dragging him down
stream. Both mules were
caught under a natural log
jam within a few minutes and
were drowned.
The mules' bodies were re
covered and the loads salv
aged. The animals were bur
ied away from the stream to
avoid contamination.
The final tally showed six
Republican and two Demo
cratic senators voted against
the bill. In the House five
Democrats and 19 Republi
cans voted no.
The new income tax is
backed by a one-shot speedup
of withholding tax collections
if needed, and carries a pro
vision that any surplus in ex
cess of $10 million would be
applied as a property tax off
set. The capital gains .tax was
liberalized, and the corporate
excise tax increased, as part
of the package. , . '. '
Main features ' of the new
income tax measure:
- Removal of the. federal
income tax deduction. ,
- Head of. household gets
joint treatment.
- Students entitled as de
pendency credit.
- Blind get full extra cred
it. - Senior citizens over 65
get one-half extra credit.
-Flat $22 tax credit for
personal and dependency de
ductions. - Unlimited medical deduc
tion above 5 per cent of in
come. - Five per cent optional
standard deduction. -
- Fractional rates from 2
to 7 per cent.
- Base broadening via a $5
filing fee or 1 per cent of
adjusted gross income, or the
tax. whichever is higher.
The measure represented a
complete victory for the Sen
ate, as the House-favored net
receipts and cigarette taxes
were refused by the Senate.
Navy Backtracks,
Says Thresher
No) Found
Search Now 'Will
Be Resumed
Washington -(UPD- The Navy
backtracked Saturday on its
announcement that the sunk
en hull of the nuclear subma
rine Thresher had been lo
cated. It ordered an underwa
ter search to resume.
Nullified was a flat an
nouncement earlier this week
that the Thresher had been
pinpointed by photographs
about 220 miles east of Cape
Cod, Mass., where the sub
went down with 129 men
aboard on -April 10.
Saturday's statement said:
"Detailed analysis of under
water photographs taken
.Thursday . . . determined that
none could be identified as
showing the Thresher."
500 Photos Taken .
The ' earlier announcement
had said that eight of about
500 photographs taken by the
oceanographic research vessel
Conrad had shown parts of
the Thresher, including a por
tion of its "sail," diving rud
der and a split in the hull.
In Portsmouth. N. H., a na
val court of inquiry Saturday
heard Dr. J. Lamar Worzel
of the Conrad testify that
none of the photographs def
initely was of the Thresher.
He said that one previously
thought to be of the subma
rine actually was of a weight
on the bottom of the camera
which took the undersea pic
tures. Another shot, Worzel
said, could have been of any
object on the ocean bottom
but could not be identified
as the sunken sub.
No Identification
. Worzel told the court that
he had absolutely no means
of identifying the sub from
any of the 1,500 pictures he
had taken.
The photos were rushed to
Washington Friday night for
detailed study.
The Navy then announced
that while limited analysis
had led to belief the Thresher
was found, "a more thorough
analysis . . . failed to confirm
the evaluation."
The Navy quickly cancelled
the dispatch of the deep-diving
bathyscaph Trieste to the
scene where the Conrad pic
tures had been taken.
The search for the sunken
submarine, which had been
temporarily halted, was or
dered to begin again.

saint Jan. 20' of this year. (UPI)
Tradition Governs
Machinery For
Selecting New Pope
Condition Remains
Same As End Hears
Vatican City - (UPD .. Pope John XXII clung tenaciously
to life today, rousing from a deep coma for brief moments of
conciousness and taking sips of water during the night.
Though on the threshhold of death with no hope of sur
viving the illness that was draining the last of his tremendous
physical strength, the 81-year old pontiff lived on through
another night of suspense.
Vatican City - (UPC -The
moment a poH; dies, the ma
chinery for election of his
successor -automatically goes
into action with centuries
tested precision.
The death of the Roman
Catholic church's ruler places
the government of the Vati
can temporarily in the hands
of the church "Senate." the
Sacred College of Cardinals.
But this "republican" rule
is limited in scope and time
by stringent laws which de
tail what the Cardinals must
do. Tt-r cardinals are not the
rulers of the church, only
caretakers.
Cardinals Meet
No sooner than 15 dcys
from the time of death and
no later than 18, the 82
princes of the church must
meet In secret conclavp be
hind the scaled doors of the
Sjstine chapel, guarded by a
Roman prince with bared
sword. They cannot emerge
until they have elected a suc
cessor on the throne of Peter.
In the days between the
last breath of the old pope
and the election of the new
one, everything from funeral
rites to the powers and duties
of each olficia! of the Curia
is rigidly governed by decrees
of dead pontiffs and by writ
ten or unwritten church law.
This is the "interregnum"
or "period of the vacant see."
when the normal church gov
ernment is suspended. Every
action of the cardinals is gov
erned by tradition and Latin
language law from antiquily
to revision of the 1946 Apos
tolic Constitution "vacantis
apostolicae sedis" (the vacant
apostolic see) of Pope Pius
XII and of the decree "sum
mi pontificis electio" (election
of the supreme pontiff), issued
last Oct. 20 by Pope John.
No Jurisdiction
"During the vacancy of the
apostolic see, the Sacred Col
lege of Cardinals shall net
have any power or jurisdic
tion whatsoever on matters
which
pope: but all these things it
shall be bound to reserve for
the future pontiff.'
j Tnose ' are the opening
words of chapter one of Pope
Pius-Constitution. Any action
taken in the interregnum on
matters of papal competence,
it adds, "unless expressly per
mitted in this constitution . . .
is hereby ruled null and
void."

Condition 'Stationary'
- Vatican Radio reported at
6 a.m. (1 a.m. edt) that the
Pope was able to take sips of
water during the night. Fori
odic communiques during the
night reported that the Pope's
condition remained "station
ary." The Pope's three brothers,
sister and nephew, an aid and
two doctors spent the night
at his bedside.
A communique at 2:40 a.m.
(9:40 p.m. edt) said his gen
eral condition remains sta
tionary. "His pulse is good. His tem
perature is about 39 degrees
centigrade (100.4 Fahren
heit)," the announcement said.
"He is assisted by Professors
Valdoni and Mazzoni."
Pictro Valdoni and Picro
Mazzoni are two of the doc
tors in constant attendance
on the pontiff.
Vatican radio had said
earlier there were "signs of
an increased weakness, also in
mental faculties" of the 81-year-old
Pontiff, but the Vat
ican press office said word
from the Papal sickroom early
today was that the Pope was
still gallantly fighting the
deadly effee ts of his illness
Stomach Growth
The Pooe was suffering
from a stomach growth with
complications of peritonitis
and anemia. The growth was
widely reported to be cancer
ous and doctors gave him pain
killing drugs during the day
as he slipped into and out of
consciousness.
A Vatican radio announcer
in tearful voice called on the
faithful to join in prayer for
a Pope "who is showing us
simply and magnificently how
to die." It was clear the Pope
himself was approaching
death in se renity.
Vatican sources announced
that Pope John will be buried
in the Basilica of St. John in
his own request
and not in St. Petcr'j where
popes are buried.
The Basilica of St. John,
is in the southern part of the
ancient city of Rome and
now a working class district
is considered the mother
church of Christendom, sen
ior even to St. Peter's.
The Vatican source said the
pope's body would be pre
pared in his bed-chamber and
dressed In full regal rain
ment of his office.
The body would ho on view
for 24 hours in the Sisline
chapel in the Vatican rnd
then perhaps brought to St.
Peter's to lie in state for a
short period, the sources said.

Experimental
Serum Reported
Given To Pope
Osterville, Mass. UPP The
president of a Cleveland re
search firm said Saturday
night that Pope John XXIII
has been receiving oral dos
ages of an experimental can
cer serum.
Asked earlier Saturday
about the reported cancer se
rum, a Vatican spokesman in
Rome said, however, "No
wonder drugs have been re
ceived or are being used."
Dr. H. James Rand III, pres.
ident of Rand Development
Co., said at his summer home
on Cape Cod that 100 cubic
centimeters of . the serum,
enough for a month's treat
ments, had been sent to Rome
this week.!.
Serum Requasttd
Earlier In the day. Dr. Ser
gio De Carvalho of Cleveland,
who headed the research team
that developed the serum for
the Rand company, arrived at
Rome's Fiumicino airport. Dr.
Rand said Dr. De Carvalho
would remain in Rome until
the Pope's death. He also will
lecture before cancer insti
tutes at Rome and at Lisbon,
Portugal,
Rand said Dr. Carlo Nervl
of Rome's institute for the
study and cure of tumors, one
of those consulted by the
Pope's physicians, had heard
of the work being done on the
serum and asked the Rand
firm to supply some for th
ailing pontiff.
"So far," said Rand. "11,.
doctors have been most en
thusiastic about the serum and
its effect on the Pope. They
said that after the serum was
given the Pope showed some
good reaction."
Rand emphasized that th.
serum could not cure the pon
tiff, and that it waa unlikely
that the Pope would live
much longer because of It
