MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORJ, OREGON so; Capitol Memo By Zan Stark Key Legislators Feel Bill Doomed Old Trolleys Are Transformed ForMany Uses SALEM (UPI) - Many state officials and key legislators who publicly are supporting the tax increase measure admit pri vately that they're convinced the bill is doomed. They're divided on what should be done if the tax meas ure is defeated at the Oct. 15 special election. Some feel a "no" vote will be I a mandate to cut spending, i Others believe voters are not ! opposed to the $404 million gen- j cral fund budget, but are in re- j vuu dgdiusi inuuast's in me state's income tax bite. Sen. L. W. Ncwbry (R-Ash-land) said he (eels Jackson county residents are strongly opposed to the tax increase measure adopted by the 1963 legislature, but do not object to the spending program adopt ed for the 191)3-65 biennium. Undecided on Vote Newbry, who voted for the tax bill, but admittedly hasn't made up his mind on how he will vole Oct. 15, says he has concentrated on explaining the budget, not defending the tax measure, in public discussions. Freeman Hulmer. director of finance and administration, said opponents of the tax bill "seem to fall into one or both of two camps: Those who believe that government is too expensive, and those who believe that Ore gon needs a different kind of tax." Holmer explained the need for a tax increase this way: "Stated over-simply, we do not have a tax problem, we have a birth control problem." He points to increased en rollments in the state's schools and institutions. Senate President Ben Musa (D-The Dalles) and House Speaker Clarence Barton (D Coquille) disagree on what de feat of the measure would mean. Public Mandate Musa says he feels a defeat would be a public mandate to cut spending. Barton says the answer lies in making some cuts, and adopting some new taxes. Gov. Mark Hatfield has not yet said whether he would call a special session of the legis lature if the tax bill is defeat ed. The governor, however, has made it clear he does not want to call a special session. Some Democrats say this is window dressing. They don't be lieve Hatfield would want to ac cept full responsibility for cut backs. They say he will pass the buck to the legislature. One thing is certain, however. If the tax measure is defeated. I i there will be immediate major; cuts in state service. ! How deep the cuts could be. 1 and how long they would last. ' would be determined by whether j ! Hatfield calls a special session. : ami wnemer new taxes were i proposed. i Bv NF.ll. MARTIN WASHINGTON (I'PI) - What has wheels, runs on tracks and can be used as a church, school, hunting lodge or even an object of international commerce? The streetcar, of course. Threatened with the fate of horse - drawn carriages, knick ers and ankle-laced shoes, the trolley is finding a new place in U.S. society, thanks to Ameri can ingenuity. Been Converted In Omaha, Neb., several old trolleys have been converted into modern hunting and fish ing lodges: in Lanham. Md., a minister recently transformed a streetcar into the town's First Baptist church; and, in Fort Worth, Tex., a department store is using streetcars to transport employees and customers through an underground tunnel from parking lots to the store. In other cities, local transit firms rrftiy soon re-examine the potential market value of trol- j leys now sifting idly in com pany storage yards. A local company here has been supplying the demand for unused streetcars which it sells, depending on condition and serviceability, anywhere from a few hundred dollars to S2.W0. ! Like most cities, Washington's streetcars recently gave way to modern, air - conditioned buses. . Since then, the company has been steadily selling its stock of trolleys to individuals and groups in the United States and : Europe. j The Yugoslav city of Sere-: javo recently purchased 75 of the company's streetcars for its municipal system. Barcelona, Spain, bought 28 trolleys and is considering buying 60 to 70 more. From its initial stock of 4(15 streetcars in 1W2, the com pany's supply has dwindled to about 75 cars. Unserviceable s t r e e tc a r s, which are cheaper, are being sold for unusual and often in genious uses. HiitiKht Streetcars Milton Q. Ford, a local radio personality, recently bought 200 of the less useful streetcars which he is transforming into playrooms, workshops, club rooms, baby - sitting facilities, children's movie theaters and parking lot waiting rooms. Ford said plans also are un derway to design cars as sta display vehicles for home and tionary or mobile art studios, resturant equipment, and coin- !

Joplin Civic Leaders Praise Bowling Lanes JOPLIN. Mo. (UPI) - When a youngster spins a black ball down a bowling lane here, civic leaders cheer it as a strike against juvenile delinquency. The teen-age rage in Joplin and the neighboring towns of Webb City, Mo., and Galena. Kan., is to be a member of the Tri-City Junior Bowling associa tion. About 40 per cent of the eligible youth belong. "Since the association was started two years ago," Wood son Oldham, juvenile judge, said, "juvenile delinquency has dropped noticeable. Not o n e j junior bowler has ever been in juvenile court or arrested by authorities for questioning." Roi S Wood, superintendent of Joplin schools, praised the program as a year-around boon to extra-curricular activities for youth. He said it kept the chil-, dren active and out of mischief, j Also, students who play hookey i are barred from bowling. Large Program , Harry Hoffman, a radio news- m.m anrl Rill Marshall. nresi-' dent of local bowling lanes, spearheaded t h e movement. Marshall said the junior bowling at his l.mes was the laravst pro gram at any single establish ment in the nation. The association has 2.500 members and a school census shows that there are only 6.200 persons in the area who are eligible by age - 8 to 18 to; join. Hoffman said the organization was a bonanza he had not ex pected. Parents now take their ; children to neighboring areas for tournaments, besides visit ing the lanes to watch the youngsters roll.
