Capitol Memo
By Zan Stark
Lawmakers Seek
Meaning of Vote
SALEM (UPI) There appears ;
to be an almost fanatical re
fusal on the part of some of
the state's leaders to admit that
the Oct. 15 tax defeat meant
STOP SPENDING.
Many lawmakers and state of
ficials are frantically scurrying
about in search for the "true
meaning" of the referendum
election.
Sales tax proponents interpret
the vote as a mandate to in
troduce a new tax to Oregon.
Friends of education claim
the voters support education,
but didn't like the legislature's
tax increase bill.
Some lawmakers privately
want to retaliate against the
voters by enacting a series of
nuisance taxes.
Gov. Mark Hatfield has called
for re-passage of the one - shot
speedup of withholding collec
tions to bring in $12 million this
biennium a part of the tax
bill the voters rejected.
Few Suggest Economy
. But few indeed are the
state's leaders who suggest the
Oct. 15 vote was a demand for
economy.
It would be difficult to im
agine two men with more di
vergent philosophies than Sec
retary of State Howell Appling
Jr., and Senate President Ben
Musa.
Yet thev acrce on one thing.
They feel the Oct. 15 vote WAS
a mandate to stop spending.
There are many reasons to
believe they are right.
The loudest pre-election cry
By WILLIAM CLAYTON
United Press International
HOUSTON UPI) Ameri
cas "voice of the Gemini
and apoilo astronauts belongs to
a stocky, soft-spoken man who
has the questionable honor of
bulwarking 30 astronauts against
a demanding public.
He is Paul Haney, 35-year-old
former newsman who must now
dish out rather than collect
news about the American space
effort and the astronauts.
By contrast with his predeces
sor, Haney would be a Milque
toast. The Mercury "voice" was
nearly as much in the news in
his job as the astronauts were.
John A. 4 ofiorty Powers is a
diminutive flamboyant, bubbly
showman with a short wick on
his patience. - .
Haney is a matter-of-fact man
whose background in news is
said to give him an advantage
in guessing in advance what
newmen's reactions and ques
tions about space will be. He
is generally quiet and firm.
Powers, former public affairs
officer for the Manned Space
craft Center, is now a consult
ant with the National Aeronaut
ics and Space Administration
(NASA) in Washington.
Moves Uo
NASA moved Haney up from
the public affairs office at
Washington to his post over
public affairs at the spacecraft
center.
Before that, he worked for
newspapers in Erie, Pa., Akron,
Ohio, and Memphis, Tenn. Be
fore he joined NASA in 1958, he
was assistant city editor of the
Washington Evening Star. He
holds a bachelor's degree in
journalism from Kent State
University at Kent, Ohio. He
studied for a while at George
town University Law School.
Haney and his wife, Jane,
have four children 8-year-old
Maura, 7-year-old Danny, 5-;
year-eld Michael and 3-year-old
Megan.
Mrs. Haney is no stranger to
dignitaries and newsmakers. She
worked tor a time as social
secretary for file Saudi Arabian
ambassador in Washington and
later for the Jordanian embas
sy. She also taught English at
American' University in Wash
ington. Haney is a figurehead as
"voice of the Gemini Apoi
lo astronauts." He is called to
play a big part in maintaining
America's image of open dis
tribution of space news. But he

does not like symbols of that', "J nave an unabashed love
type. I for the space program," be
"I don't go much far ihisjsaid,
image-building business," hsy
said. "If you are running a
good solid operation, your im
age takes care of itself. I'm not
much taken with figureheads." .
Even though the astronaut :
team is increasing and Haney 's
job is more complex than wasj:
Powers', Haney can foresee th :
day "when the space effort mil ;
not be the aaiiosai television
and news spectacular it has
been" as Americans become !

Haney himself is still excited j

Motorist Cited for
Driving in River
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Ray
Aguilar, 19-year-old driver of a
car seen bobbing along in
storm waters of the Los Ange
les River, was cited Wednes
day for driving in a river bed.
Aguilar was hailed ashore in
his buoyant auto by officers
who saw him about two hours
after he and his "crew" of four
one of which was sitting top
side as a navigator slid into
the fenced, cement-lined chan
nel from a moss-covered bank
three miles upstream.
was that a "No" vote would be
a vote against education. Edu
cators felt the public would respond.
They did-they voted 3 1-2 to
1 to defeat the measure.
Three Groups May Emerge
It now appears three major
blocks of opinion will emerge
at the special sessions begin
ning next Monday,
The Musa bloe opposes re-
enactment of the one-shot bill,
or any other new revenue
source, including a sales tax.
This group wants general state
economy, with the Biggest cuts
to come out of basic school
support. Basic school cuts can
be offset at the local level by
increased property taxes, and
this flrouo feels the local school
district voters should be free to
make their own choice about
how much they want to pay for
education.
The Hatfield plan calls for en
actment of the one-shot meas
ure, general state economy, and
a less severe cut in basic school
funds.
Sales Tax Has Backers
Then there are the sales tax
peoople, who insist the voters
on Oct. 15 were demanding a
new form of taxation, njt budg
et cuts. The agricultural bloc
seems solidly behind the sales
tax as a method of easing the
local property tax burden. Most
of the sales tax bills proposed
to date have included provision
for a property tax offset. Farm
ers want lower property taxes.
Thev also want feed, seed and
fertilizer exempted irom t n e
sales tax.
Oregon voters have rejected
sales taxes five times in the!
past 30 years. !
There also is some support
for a cigarette tax. Voters have
rejected this idea six times
since 1926,
The length of the special ses
sion may depend on how firmly
the Musa bloc stands for no
new revenue.
The session cannot end until
the House adopts a plan the
Senate will approve.
Gresham Youths
Plead Guiliy
PORTLAND (UPI) -Four of
five Gresham boys arrested aft
er the death of an elderly Ja
panese lecluse last summer
pleaded guilty to misdemeanor
charges of assault and battery
in Multnomah County Circuit
Court Wednesday.
The district attorney's office
indicated indictments charging
all five with conspiracy to com
mit armed robbery would be
dismissed because of Jack of
evidence.
Judge Virgil Langtry ordered
a presentence investigation for
Arthur E. Clunie, 16, and Gary
J. Luther, Paul E. Schoenburn
and Lawrence T. Tibbett, all 17.
The fifth youth, Charles R.
Hancock, 16, was late for the
court appearance and Langtry
ordered the sheriff to take him
into custody for an apperance
today.
The five were arrested after
the body of Benzo Oye, 78, was
found m his shack last July.
The boys reportedly told sher
iff's deputies Oye collapsed dur
ing a beating. The coroner's of
fice attributed death to heart
disease.
The Japanese consul here
asked for a report on the case
after it was learned Oye had
never become an American citizen.

London Airport runway into a
muddy cabbage patch during a
neavy log.
The plane, bound for Montre

women and a man, required
hospitalization but their injur
ies were not considered seri

started down the runwav.
Ground speed was too great to
come to an orderly halt when
the pilot, t'apl. R.S. Found, had
to slam on the brakes. The
giant jetliner skidded about 700
yards into the boggy cabbage
paten and one ot us tour en
gines caught fire.
The passengers were able to
scramble out of the aircraft in
near-record time by using an
escape chute. TCA officials
said all were removed from
the plane within 90 seconds aft
er the accident.
Most of the passengers who
spent the night in London ho
tels, will return to Canada to
day aboard another plane flown
here from Canada, TCA offi
cials said.
