JULY 14. 1963 Time PET TALK By M.I.L SELF-INDICTMENT ' In an era that glorifies 11 nancial status, adores second rate entertainment and wor ships the accumulation of ma. terial things, man's inhU' manity to all living creatures manifests itself in numerous and diverse ways. It is generally conceded that the popular entertainment of the day promotes the base instincts of the mob. This contemporary mass medium of entertainment invades the pri vacy of our homes, bringing murder, beating, torture and other violence perperated on man and animals. And if this isn't enough to shock your sensibilities, it is Immediately followed by a pharmaceutical huckster who offers a cure for all of man's Ills. In the same laboratories, man's inhuman pursuits have reached a new low. The pro longed suffering of vast num bers of animals is the pharma ceutical profession's own in dictment of itself. The Mcdford area is flood ed by unwanted and surplus pets, especially kittens. This only means death by gas chamber, starvation or torture to countless innocent victims who never should have been born. There are people who think that by some magic, ani mal societies can find homes for the surplus litters, Actual ly, they are only accepted to prevent being abandoned, even though the kittens must be destroyed. The only solution for this cruelty; - Have female pets spayed. Warning Issued on C.O.D. Racket A warning concerning vaca tionists has been Issued through the Medford Cham ber of Commerce, repeating a reminder from the Port land Better Business Bureau. It applies to a C.O.D. racket which keeps appearing. The racket works this way. The person calls at the door of a home from which he has learned the family is vacation ing. He has an apparent C.O.D, package. When no one answers the door, he goes to a neighboring house, and asks the neighbor if he will pay for the delivery of the package so It can be made available to the vacationer as soon as he returns. It the neighbor responds to the request, he learns that what has been represented as an important package con tains nothing more valuable than old newspapers, obsolete magazines or some other dis carded Items, according to the Better Business Bureau.

OREGON THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA Special Session Moves Slowly, Cooly on Defeated Tax Program United Press International The special session of the 1963 legislature, called by Gov. Edmund G. Brown in hopes of reviving his once-defeated tax program, was mov ing slowly - and even some what cooly. But a fight appeared in the works between the Senate and the Assembly over Brown's personal income tax withholding plan - the most controversial of his tax speed up plans. Following an unusual closed-door meeting, Senate leaders said Brown's with holding proposal did not car ry enough weight to pass in the upper chamber. The statement ired Assem bly Speaker Jesse M. Unruh. Unruh commented, "I'm in favor of it (withholding) as much now as I ever was and maybe even more." Asked what the Assembly would do, Unruh replied, "I can't say. . . but I'll say this: we're not going to be a rubber stamp for the Senate." He said that was the feeling also of "79 other guys" in the 80-member Assembly. Senate Crushes Program In the final hours of the general session, it was the Senate that crushed Brown's tax program. The special session, which follows by two weeks the six-month general session, went into its second week with two money figures pro posed to fatten the 1963-64 budget of more than S3 bil lion, an all time record for any stale. They were proposed programs to spend $114 mil lion, asked by Brown, and a plan' to spend only $80 mil lion, proposed by Sen. Steph en P. Teale, D-Westpoint. Brown's revived program includes requests to eliminate installment payments of in come taxes, accelerate Dan and corporation and insur ance premium taxes and elim inate any tax for 840,000 small taxpayers who would pay less than $5 in taxes each year.

The association said the di sease, apparently a new strain or a new type of illness, will "very likely continue to spread and the proportion of affected animals probably will increase before it dimin ishes." Veterinarians said, how ever, that the disease was rarely fatal. The disease has forced post ponement of horse racing schedules in various parts of the country during the past three months. When the season ended at Portland Meadows a week ago, it was estimated that about half of the horses had the ailment.

Brown proposed $40 million in extra state aid to local schools this year and $60 million next year. The Senate apparently is pushing for a one-year, $40 million program. Elsewhere there were these developments: Bodies: The bodies of three children found shot to death June 6 near Williams, Ariz., were identified as runaways from a home in Stockton. They were Teddy Walker, 12, his sister Jacqueline, 11, and their half sister Carol McCain, 14. Their foster mother, Mrs. Bernice Fobbs, Stockton, identified drawings and photographs of the chil dren's bodies. Each had been shot with a .32 caliber weap on. After they were dumped in a forest near Williams, the killer shot each in the heart with a 45-caliber gun. The children reportedly ran away from home because they feared their family was break ing up, police said. Police said they had no clues to the killer. Manhunt: A manhunt was under way in Reno, Nev., for the leaders of a counterfeit ring smashed by city and fed eral agents in Oakland. The ring had produced about $1.4 million on bogus $20 and $50 bills. The search spread to Reno when some of the bills began showing up in gam bling casinos. Agents said they were look ing for Danny Ray Willis, 52, and Billy Campbell Kitchens, 36, ex-convicts from San Francisco credited with orig inating the ring.

Water: The Metropolitan Water district in Los Angeles passed a lesolution asking California to avoid making any commitments at a three-1 state meeting on the Colorado river water question.
