Freeman Holmer, director of the finance and administration department, said "There isn't any huge surplus" in the state general fund as some persons apparently believe. He said the 1963 legislature's tax increase measure would raise an additional $63.5 million. State tax commission collec tions for July and August to taled $21.5 million, up 4.55 per cent over the same period a year ago. but it the level esti mated while the legislature was in session.

This amount more than qualifies some employers for unemploy ment insurance tax reductions beginning Jan. 1, 1964, accord ing to the new experience rat ing law. A considerable picker short age is indicated after Labor Day when the winter pear har vest begins, Patton predicted.

He said if the tax is defeat ed, all budgets, including basic school support, would have to be cut from 11 to 14 per cent to keep the budget in balance. Holmer said no cuts could be made in debt reduction, or in the budgets of constitutional of fices or the legislature. Pedcrson termed the effect of the recent lumber strike on slate tax collection "nominal." He said there could be a long range effect because of possi ble plant modernization to eliminate some jobs and close some of the less profitable mills. Walker Files Suit Against Editor Of Mississippi GREENVILLE, Miss. (UPD- Former Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker filed a $2 million slander suit Saturday against Hodding Carter, prize-winning editor-publisher of the Greenville Delta Democrat Times. Walker based his suit on a speech Carter made at the Uni versity of New Hampshire last October, a month after Walker was arrested during racial riot ing at the University of Missis sippi. This is the second suit stem ming from accounts of Walker's actions during the university ri oting. Earlier he filed a $1 mil lion suit against the Associated Press because of a news story on his activities. Walker charged that Carter defamed "his good name" in the New Hampshire speech which he said was carried by news papers and radio and television stations throughout the country. He claimed that Carter told the audience that "Walker personal ly led the insurrectionists" at Ole Miss. Walker also charged that Car ter said, "General Walker has been exposed once and for all for what he is, a seditious psyco path." Walker said tarter, a ruiuzcr prize winner, "knew these phrases to be untrue." The suit, filed In Washington county (Greenville) circuit court, asks $1 million actual damages and $1 million punitive damages. It was filed on Walker's be half by John W. Capers, a Jack son attorney. Capers said he would ask for an immediate trial. He said Session ing to interest a private founda tion in providing a special study grant to aid in the committee's work, ancTEdwards said encour aging progress was being made.

During this phase there was little labor demand so the need could be filled largely by local people. "In contrast to past years, there was almost no flow of migrant pickers through the area," Patton said. "The mi grant labor supply has usually been high during the early sea son and dropped off abruptly when the winter pear harvest started. These people now are bypassing the Medford area this year due to the lighter than usual crop." Pacific Northwest recruit ment has produced very few pickers due mainly to the com petition from Willamette valley area crops, which are later than usual, plus a heavy pear and apple crop in Washington. Noticeable Impact The Southern Oregon golf tournament at the Rogue Val ley Country club made a notice able impact upon the local econ omy in August, Patton noted. Many of the 432 participants came from outside the area and an unknown large number of visitors came to watch. "As usual at this time of year, shortages are developing in the supply of skilled and semi-skilled occupations," Pat ton said. "During August, non agricultural jobs filled were up 18 per cent over one. year ago. The number of agricultural jobs filled were below last year, due to the light Bartlett pear crop and Hie late start of the pear harvest. August's unemployment rate of 2.8 per cent was down from 3.7 per cent for July, the re port shows. Oregon's statewide rate (or August was 2.9 per cent. Paper Walker also would be represent ed in the case by Attorney Clyde J. Watts of Oklahoma City, Okla. Walker, former commander of the 24th division, now lives in Dallas, Tex. He was arrested near the uni versity campus in Oxford dur ing the racial turmoil touched off by Negro James Meredith's entrance into the all-white school and charged with rebellion, in surrection and seditious conspir acy. A Lafayette county (Oxford) grand Jury, however, failed to indict him on the charges. NEW RESIDENTS Prospect Newcomers In tho community are Mr. and Mrs. Robert E.

Ice Chunk May Be From Outer Space MOSCOW (UPI) An 11- pound chunk of ice which fell on nearby Domodedovo a lew days ago might have come. from space, the Soviet news agency lass said Saturday. There are grounds to be lieve that this ice is of space origin," Tass said. "Science, it is true, docs not know any precedent. But theoretically a meteor body of ice can exist in space." It said astronomers, geochem ists, glaciologists and other spe cialists are trying to solve the mystery of the chunk ot ice, which weighed about 11 pounds and splintered on hitting the earth. They believe "it is absolute ly impossible for the ice that fell in Domodedovo to be of at mospheric origin; clear sunny weather prevailed on that day in that area," Tass said. "The hypothesis that this ice fell off a plane flying at a great height is also rejected." SliMMi', bLrifc.iMitt.it 8, Total this month tracs, below noiinal. .07 in.
