Written for
United Press International
Salem-flTO-The 52nd legis
lative assembly wai ai hag
been so often written the
tongeat in itate history. There
waa a reason: The problem!
it faced were the greatest con
fronted by any Oregon Legit
ature. The state's coffers were
empty and we could foresee a
deficit in excess of IS million
when the legislature conven
ed. Governor Hatfield had sub
mitted a budget calling for
expenditures of $426 million
from the general fund, with
about $20 million of it to be
raised by borrowing if the
people approved a bond pro
gram. It appeared that the legis
lature must increase state
taxes by $60 million. The size
of the boost loomed large for
a state used to living off war
time surpluses, with taxes at
a level below expenditures.
The legislative assembly

Youngstown lost more than

Tobaccos moved sharply

smoking to heart disease.
Philip Morris dropped more

1 each. American Tobacco

succeeded in meeting the def-1 out in succeeding legislatures,
. . . i j ... u . n : i .....
icit bv transferring to the
general fund money which
had been loaned to the vet
erans sinking fund. But
meeting the need for $60 mil
lion more in revenue was not
so simple.
I believe that the new tax
program which resulted is
equitable. It leaves our per
sonal taxes based squarely on
ability to pay; it calls for a
slight increase in taxes on the
largest corporations while sim
plifying the corporate excise
tax law in a way which should
make Oregon more attractive
to large industries; and it pro
vides revenue to pursue pub
licly worthwhile services for
the next two years.
Sales Tax Rtsistad
The two things of which I
am most proud are two things
which didn't pass. The House
can take credit for both:
1. We successfully resisted
imposition of a sales tax. The
proposed sales taxes were
sales taxes on some people -not
all people. By this device
its backers hoped to lull the
people into accepting it, after
which they could broaden it
mi n honest, alWnclusive
sales tax been proposed, I be
lieve the House would have
gone along with referring it
to the people. We just wanted
to make sure the people knew
what they were voting on.
2. The House defeated the
so-called three-way bill deci
mating the state industrial ac
cident commission, which has
operated so well since 1913.
This bill would have been a
bonanza to the insurance in
dustry at the expense of Ore
gon employers, and ultimate
ly at the expense of injured
workers. I have never seen
such brazen lobbying as went
into the effort to pass this bill,
and at one time nearly had to
clear the gallery of one lobby
ist who was trying to inter
fere with debate on the floor.
Other Accomplishments
In addition, these were
among the more noteworthy
legislative accomplishments:
-Governor Hatfield's $426
million budget was trimmed
to $404.2 million. This $21.8
million cut was at no loss in
essential services.
-After many sessions of
struggle, a reasonable home
property tax relief bill for
senior citizens with low in
come was passed.
-A new basic school sup
port formula wai approved.
At the same time, state aid to
local public schools was boost
ed to $141.2 million, which
will account for 26 per cent
of the primary and secondary
school operating costs.
-One of the House's great
victories was in overcoming
Senate roadblocks to more
fair compensation for aca
demic staff in tha state col
leges and uiJveraities and for
civil service personnel.
-A beginning toward execu
tive reorganization was ac
complished by creating a De
partment of Commerce, to
gather in a myriad of scat
tered state services.
-What may turn out to be
a model program for the iden
tification and treatment of
sexual deviates was enacted.
A test of time is, needed be

ever. The great disappointment

WashlnBton - (UPO - The
growing controversy over de
tergents spilled into Congress
today in a hearing on their
contribution to water pollu
tion. Representatives from vir
tually every group involved
in the battle converged on a
House subcommittee to tell
their side of the story. The
panel is conducting a study
of the nation's water pollution
problem.
Leading the drive for a
mandatory change in the type
of household detergent now
being used were Rep. Henry
S. Reuss (D-Wis.), and Sen.
Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.). They
have Introduced bills to ban
after June 30, 196S, manufac
ture of any detergent that re
sists decomposing In sewage
systems.
Present-day "hard" deter
gents have filled water sys
tems and streams throughout
the country with mountains of
foam. In some communities
suds have flowed out of water
taps like foaming beer.
Effect on Humans
The question of whether
human beings are harmed by
the detergents has not been
definitely determined. But it
is generally agreed that
chemicals in present deter
gents complicate the problem
of sewage treatment, are
harmful to some fish, and
create unsightly conditions.
Rcuss told the House
natural resources subcommit
tee that if the soap industry
would cooperate with the
government and voluntarily
agree to produce soft deter
gents, "I am all for it."
But he said that if a vol
untary agreement is . not in
dicated by Aug. 1, when an
other House subcommittee be
gins consideration of Reuss'
bill, he would expect tiie De
partment of Mealtn, Educa
tion -and Welfare to support
his bill.
Says Change Needed
The department declared
recently that A new type of
detergent was needed. It
added, however, that it felt
industry should have a chance
to do the job on its own.
Most of the industry Is op
posed to the pending legisla
tion. Among the scheduled wit
nesses were representatives
of the Soap and Detergents
Manufacturers Associa t i o n,
an organiration containing
most firms in the field.
Three Arrested for
Curfew Violations
Three area teen age boys
appeared in Medford munici
pal court tins morning to an
swer charges of curfew vio
lation.
Judge Pro Tern Donald
Denman dismissed the charges
against a 17-year-old Medford
youth, a member of the U.S.
Air Force. The other two
pleaded innocent and trial
date was set for June 26.
Foreign Briefs
COMMUNISTS SAID BEING TORTURED IN UAR
Moicow-OIPIt-The Soviet bloc journal "Problems of Peace
and Socialism" charged Sunday that Communists in the
United Arab Republic are being tortured and driven to
death In desert concentration camps.
The publication coincided with the visit here of U.A.R.
Vice President Abdel Hakim Amer. He was received in the
Kremlin Saturday by Premier Nikita Khurshchev.
ate's refusal to refer the pro
posed new constitution to the
people. I hope that with more
study and with some new
faces in the Senate we can
accomplish constitutional
modernization in 196S.
This has been a good, fruit
ful session for the people of
the state, both from the stand
point of what was done and
what was defeated. '
This is due entirely to the
excellent work of most legis
lators, especially in House
committees. Experienced ob
servers say they never saw so
much hard work and so little
grandstanding As a veteran
of four terms, I agree.
