PAUL NEWMAN IS - mini nuu s im 6 THE MAN WITH THE BARBED WIRE SOULI NEAL-BRANDON deWILDE I 'JESS DORS Dr. IT El V Alfred Hitchcock's m. ..... .....a S5 J Fadeley Argues Against Proposed Title on Ballot Salem-lUPIi-The ballot title on the proposed tax referen dum prepared by Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton "describes a few trees but not the for est" the Oregon Supreme Court was told Tuesday. The statement came from State Sen. Edward Fadeley (D-Eugene) attorney for a Lane county group which has challenged Thornton's ballot title. The high court held a 40 minute hearing on the ballot title appeal Tuesday after noon. It is expected to make a swift decision in the case, clearing the way for circula tion of petitions calling for a referendum on the 1963 legis lature's bill to raise an added S60 million in tax revenues. Petition Deadline Sept. 1 Foes of the tax increase plan have until Sept. 1 to col lect 23,185 names if they are to bring the question to a vote in October. The court can cither af firm the ballot title Thorn ton has prepared, substitute one proposed by Fadeley, or write its own version. Fadeley argued the Thorn ton title failed to set out the chief purpose of the bill to raise money needed to balance the state's budget. Donald Burnett, State Tax Commission attorney, defend ed the ballot title which Thornton submitted. Ballot Title Limited He noted the tax proposal makes 38 substantial changes in the state's tax law, 11 of them major ones, and the bal lot title is limited by law to 25 words. Burnett said the proposed Thornton ballot title is de signed to list those which would have the greatest im pact. Fadeley said the Thornton ballot title failed to mention the liberalized treatment for captial gains taxes which would affect about 90,000 per sons and the special treatment for heads of households which would affect 30,000. He noted also that the title failed to mention the substitu tion of tax credits for person al exemptions which will af fect all taxpayers. Sonic Boom Said Part of Jet Age Los Angeles - (UPD - Sonic booms are part of the jet age and a citizen's only recourse is to file a claim for damages. So said Col. James K. Howling of the North Ameri can Defense Command, Den ver, Colo., when he was ask ed to appear Tuesday before the city council following a sonic blast last week that shook most of the city. "The Air Force seeks to control the noise and vibra tion by regulation," he said. "But it is not always success ful." He said Air Force research has proved sonic booms can not cause human injury but can crack plaster and break windows. He said that in such case a citizen should contact the nearest Air Force base for a claims form. Weather FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Continued fair with little change in tempera ture.
