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

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.
