Newspaper Page TextCircle on of Propaganda Said Costly to Public Washington (UPit Sen. Mau- rine B. Neuberger (D-Ore.) charged today that right-wing organizations are being al lowed to circulate "extremist propaganda" at the taxpayers' expense. Mrs. Neuberger called upon the Internal Revenue Service to make sure tax-exempt or ganizations do not engage In propaganda activities. In a letter to IRS Commis sioner Mortimer M. Caplin, the Oregon Democrat said the tax-collecting agency had "obligation and responsibility 10 exercise much closer sur veillance of material riiatrih. uted by all tax-exempt groups uiiuer me guise ot education.

In a recent speech In Port land, Ore., Mrs. Neuberger cuargea mat taxpayers were indirectly financing millions of dollars of Birch-type propa ganda pui out Dy less well known but equally vicious or ganizations." Material which Mrs. Neu berger said was being fi nanced inrougn tax exemp tions included publications of America's Future Inc., The American Good Government Society, The Lifeline Founda tion Inc., The Christian Antl Communism Crusade and the American Council of Christian Laymen. Other organizations which Mrs. Neuberger labeled as having "high-sounding titles for low-hitting activities" in cluded the American Eco nomic Foundation, Christian's Echoes Ministry, Christian Freedom Foundation, Church League of America, The Cir cuit Riders, The Economists National Committee on Mone tary Policy, Foundation for Economic Education, Inter Collegiate Society on Individ ualists and The National Edu cation program. Mrs. Neuberger said the or ganizations she cited had re ceived more than $3.9 million dollars In tax-free contribu tions during 1961 under IRS rules.

License Ordinance Change Favored By Med ford Council An amendment to the amusement machine section of the city's license ordinance was approved by the Medford city council last night after a discussion concerning the difference between machines, pinball machines, and con soles. The amendment was ap proved by a vote of s to 1, with Councilman Joe Hosick opposing. Other council action in which the councllmen were divided on their votes was request to change the zone from Class IA single family to Class II multiple family on the south side of Grand view ave. east of Crater Lake ave. Residents In the immediate area of the requested change opposed the request citing that it would block the view, downgrade property value, and Increase traffic causing hazard to the children in the area. Oppose Zone Change The vote was four against and two for the request. Coun cllmen opposing the change were William Singler, Robert Cunningham, Hosick, and R. Van Sickle. Favoring the request were Jack Ed son and Richard Travis. Opposition to the license ordinance amendment was that the new fee schedule was unfair since flippers were grouped with pinball ma chines for a $100 licensing cost. Manville Heisel, Medford lawyer, who represented the Consolidated Music company, charged that flippers should not be included in the same category as pinball machines but should be included with shuffleboard, bowlers, and similar games. Heisel requested that the matter be continued for fur ther study. The new fee schedule calls for an operator's license of $10, pinball machine or con sole $100, and other machines $23. Singler, who presented the committee report to the coun cil, explained that after study ing the matter, the group could find no major differ ence between a pinball . ma chine and a flipper. Approving the amendment were Singler, Cunningham, Edson, Van Sickle, and Travis.

House Speaker Warns of Worst Bise In Property Taxes in State History Cos Bay -HTJ- "The worjt rise in property taxes in Ore gon history" could result next year if the 1963 legislature's $60 million tax package is rejected, House Speaker Clar ence Barton warned today. Barton addressed a luncn eon meeting of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers associ ation here. Reading from a prepared text, he said rejection of the revenue package could lead to "a state property tax levy next year if there is not rev enue to pay bond interest and retirement, because law pro vides for an automatic state property levy for this purpose whenever the costs cannot be paid out of the money on hand." Barton discussed the recent legislative session, and told the publishers "from some of the things I've been reading, I think some record-straightening would be in order." Longer Sessions Possible Barton predicted future ses sions could be even longer than the record 141 days this year "because the business of this state has become so great." He said artificial limits on Steels Pace Firm And Fairly Active Market After News New York-OIPD-Steels paced a firm and fairly active stock market early today.

Barton, a resident of near by Coquille, outlined in detail the tax program and cited problems faced by lawmakers as they trimmed "fat" from budget requests. "Legislatures should be known for what they don't do as well as for what they do," Barton said. "One thing this past session did not do was enact a sales tax." He blasted the excessive lobbying that took place on the workmen's compensation measure which the House de feated, and predicted the bill could come to life again if a special session is held this fail, "Maybe this (the pressure for enactment of a new work men's compensation bill) ex plains some of the agitation for referral of the income tax bill," Barton said. He cited as "noteworthy" several things the legislature did not do, and said "we didn't pass the Liberty Amendment, or silly constitutional amend ments which would deny the courts jurisdiction in appor tionment. "We didn't take the house wives' trading stamps away from them. "We didn't tax the church- Regional Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1963 "We didn't deny the right to do business on Sunday." He added: "Unfortunately, we did not pass on to the people the revised constitu tion. The House rose to its duty by approving the refer ral. The Senate refused. More will be heard on this issue." Barton asked: "What is a legislature for?" He answered: "This last one started business at 10 a.m. Jan. 14, and was expected to have a $426 million business operating by 10:30. It took us until June 3, but it was done in good order at a cost of $405 million instead of the gover nor's suggested 3426 million."
