OREGON' TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1963 RED CHINESE GREETING - chairman of the Central Committee of the Chi nese Communist Party, greets U.S. Negro Rob ert Williams and Mrs. Williams as they arrive at a reception in Peking. Williams was on the reviewing stand during a parade in which pa raders carried placards and shouted "workers and oppressed peoples and nations unite we stand four square behind the American Negro in the struggle against racial discrimination." Williams, an American who works as a propa gandist for the Castro regime in Cuba, fled to Cuba in 1961 to escape prosecution in the kid napping of a white man and wife during racial strift in Monroe. S.C. (UPI) Principal Suggests Boys' Summer Camp CORVALLIS (UPI)-A sum mer camp for boys who are hav ing trouble in high school has been suggested by Harold Klei ner, principal of Grant High School in Portland. Kleiner made the suggestion at the fall conference of the As sociation of Secondary School Principals. He said the living-in camp would be for youths who are having trouble with their studies. The boys would plant trees or do similar work, he said. Kleiner said at such a camp the boys would learn to work and possibly have a few hours of class work each day. This would help them develop re sponsibility so they could hold jobs, he said. Last summer Multnomah County operated the Oxbow project, under which high school youths were employed to de velop a county park on the Sandy River.

WHAT THE TAX BILL WOULD MEAN TO YOU JI Second in a Series of 10 Columns) The way the tax rate cuts in the 1963 tax bill have been ex plained to you is in terms of that mythical "married man, two children, grosc income of . . ." or "single person, gross income of . . . standard deductions." Forget them. They re statistics, not you. The table below, prepared by the Research Institute of Amer ica, will tell YOU, a real person, what the rate cuts would mean to you on the taxable income you report on your income tax re turn after you have subtracted your real deductions and exemp tions. The 1063 tax bill would cut rates for individuals in every bracket, from top to bottom. Part of the rate reductions would be made in 1064, the full reductions would apply for 1965 and on. The present rates, which run from a low of 20 per cent to a high of 91 per cent, would in 1965 start at 14 per cent and go up to 70 per cent. Suppose you, a married man, itemized your deductions on last year's Form 1040 and would up with a taxable income of SR. 000 on line ltd, after subtracting your exemptions and deductions. Your tax last year was $1,240 and it will be $1,240 for 1963 on the same $6,000 of taxable income. But if the House-passed bill becomes law, your tax for 1964 would drop to $1,080 and for 1965 to $1,000. You then would be saving $240 a year just from the new, lower rates. Now take out your last year's tax form, see what you entered on line lid and check on this table what your tax savings would be. Married Persons Taxable Income '63 tax Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 963) Men Tough On Each Other I But Toughest On Animals Man s inhumanity to man is pretty mild when compared to his inhumanity toward creatures lesser than himself; creatures who cannot defend themselves, but must submit, often to pain, long continued suffering, and e v en a slow and agonizing death. There are of course some excusable and justifiable excep tions, where scientific research may help future animals, or man himself, to live better, longer, or less painfully. Usually however, tnese exper iments are conducted with a minimum of discomfort for the unwilling subject. What should be objected to is the unneces sary cruelty of man, whose only motive for mistreatment is his personal feelings, either when angry, or for the satisfaction of hurting something weaker than himself. Adverse Effect Unfortunately there are some of these people scattered throughout our society, and it would take a trained psychia trist to explain what motivates them. We should condemn, as well as feel a little sorry for the boy who excitedly pulls the wings and legs from a fly, or any other bug, just for kicks. He may argue "the fly feels no pain, but tne act itselt, in a small way at least, adversely affects his thinking processes. The residue of cruelty could be accumulative, making it easy for him to become inhumane to ward other creatures or toward some other human being. Acroww this desk come many reports of man's cruelty to de fenseless creatures, some ac tually fiendish; acts of a dis organized mind. Just this week we received a report of a tame family cat, beloved by its fami ly, tossed back into its owner's yard with its head bashed in, evidently by a club wielded by a fiendish neighbor who hated cats, but was too much a cow ard to come to the owner and request that the animal be kept at home. And scomingly worse, tile report of the demented man who deliberately shot a cardi nal, right in the very middle of its song, merely because the melody awakened him while he was taking a nap. Human Nature Some unfortunate neighbor hoods harbor a human monster that poisons dogs. The.se de praved individuals, supposedly possessing a soul, and some hu man characteristics, have been known to pound pulverized glass into a piece of meat; the dog that eats it dies a long, linger ing death, whimpering in a pain too great to endure. There are examples of cruel ty, activated by the profit mo tive, where no anger is involved, or spirit of revenue, but where man descends to levels lower than any beast, by deliberate and unbelievable cruelty, and all for blood money. Some diaboli cal monster, in human form, discovered that frog legs cut from the frog's body, turned dark. To avoid this, the legs were torn forcefully from the living frog. Then with brutal un concern, the frog, still alive, is tossed into a pile of other leg less frogs to die a lingering death. Seems impossible that such a condition should exist but it does, men with bloody hands inflict this atrocity on helpless creatures, just so the legs will be whiter when served, and bring a little more money. At such times, and tor no better reason, men become lower than the creatures they misuse; our civilization and cul ture should have no tolerance for such an act.

Evidence Indicates Science Approaching Solution To Colds Three Accidents Shireen Lee Prough. 16, of 1409 South Jasper St., was slightly injured Saturday when the car which she was driving ran off the roadway at Oakdale and Holmes aves., according to Medford city police reports. Miss Prough was treated as an out-patient at Rogue Valley hospital.

Rv DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) - The evi dence that the rhinoviruses are the common culprits in the com mon cold is now of such volume that many medical science auth orities are confident of conquer ing this minor scourge of man kind before too long. The newest contribution to the evidence was made by a group of scientists who studied "minor respiratory disease" as it ap peared spontaneously among Marine corps recruits under going basic training at Camp Lcjeune, N.C. Over a period of two years it appeared some 800 times. In each case the victim was swab bed thoroughly for viruses and the swabs were subjected to laboratory tests designed both to vield anv viruses they con tained and to identify those vi ruses. Not all "minor respiratory disease" is clearly recognizable as the common cold, one must keep in mind. To guide them the scientists had the general ly accepted tell-tale symptom of the common cold, which is "na sal obstruction or discharge" usually without fever. From the recruits who had that primary symptom, the sci entists usually got rhinoviruses. From some they got coxsackie virus group A, type 21, which also is scientifically suspected of being a cause of the common cold. But in the recruits who yield ed adenovirus still another suspect viri's the "minor res piratory disease" was less mi nor than in the others and in volved more areas of discom fort. A puzzling finding was that some young marines with the primary common cold symptom yielded no viruses of any kind. This pointed up the immense difficulty in finding the cause or causes of the common cold, as the scientists remarked in reporting to the New England Journal of Medicine. "Illnesses in the virus-nega- A 3 live group may have been caus ed by presently unrecognized viruses, non - viral infectious agents, allergy, non - infectious conditions or a combination of these possibilities," they said. Furthermore, there can be un defined things in the state of being a marine recruit and in the environment of a military "boot" camp which could have influenced their results, they added in warning against a too sweeping incrimination of the rhinoviruses. The scientists were Drs. B. R. Forsyth, H. H. Bloom, K. M. Johnson and R. M. Chanock of the National Institutes of Health and the Navy. Rhinoviruses form a group which has been identified only in the past few years. "Rhino" means nose, that being the or gan where they habitually re side. Adenoviruses have glandu lar preferences and coxsackie 1 family contains paralyzcrs and killers. The scientific optimisim re garding the common cold was j reflected in this editorial com-1 Fjarli Registers A! Medical School 1 Delmar Duane Fjarli, son ot Elmer J.

Today, you have a choice of deducting your actual expenses, for interest, taxes, charitable contributions, etc., or of taking instead a standard deduction equal to 10 per cent of your adjusted gross income, but not more than $1,000. The 1963 tax bill would leave this $1,000 ceiling unchanged but would create a new floor or mini mum which easily could be higher than 10 per cent ol your ad justed gross income. Beginning in 1964, if you are a married person filing a joint return or an unmarried person filing your own return, you would be entitled to a minimum standard deduction of $200 plus $100 more for everv personal exemption on the return, including the exemptions for a husband, wife, any dependents, and old age and blindness. Say Smith is a 66-ycar-old married man with three dependent children and he files a joint return with his 60-year-old wife. His adjusted gross income is S6.000 and his personal deductions come to S650. Under today's rules, Smith would choose the $650 deduction of actual expenses instead of the $600 standard deduc tion (10 per cent of his adjusted gross income). If the 1963 bill becomes law. Smith in 1964 would be entitled to a new minimum standard deduction of $800 ($200 plus $100 for his own exemption, another for being 65 or over, another for his wife and one each for his three dependent children). This change alone would save him the taxes he otherwise would have paid on $150. Next: Juicy lax cut for small corporations.
