TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1963 10 X- OEA Dilutes Plan For Tax Support MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON PORTLAND (UPI) - Thej sharp contrasts of opinion re-j Rarding the Oregon Education! Association's stand on a state sales tax earmarked for educa tion was mitigated somewhat when the organization unoffi cially diluted its previous pro posal in support of the measure. Organization members made It clear they would like to have the OEA support an education sales tax, but not initiate one. The proposal called for active support and possible initiation of a sales tax. In other business the group named Beulah Elliott, Al tamont Junior High school teacher, new vice president. She will automatically assume the presidency of the organization in l!lf)5. President for next year is Allen Rogers, an Albany teacher. Liquor Prosecutions Blamed on Youngsters OLYMPIA, Wash.

But some of America's top companies believe that they also help to get the housewife out of her home and into the stores; or that they will, when played in the home, help to remind the consumer of the existence of the company or of some of its operations. The use of recorded music as a business booster has become widespread among American businessmen, not only at Chris- mas hut at other times of year as well. Trend Growing Stanley Arnold, New York marketing consultant, believes that music on long - playing phonograph records, especially created for companies, will help attain a wide range of mer chandising objectives, and that a trend to ils use, already well established, is growing. There are an estimated 75 million phonographs in the United States, and sponsors of the special records or albums feel that their presence in the home bring an indirect message repeatedly to the owner. Two major tire manufacturing companies, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Firestone Tire k Rubber, have for the past Ihrec years sponsored Christmas LP albums. A. C. Sparkplugs, also in the automotive field, is this year promoting a special LP recording of the Osmond Brothers "We Sing You a Merry Christmas." MGM set up a Wizard of Oz" album built around the music from that al most ageless film, issued it for Procter & Gamble; sales were more than 100,000. Cost Cut Arnold, who originally created the Goodyear album as a special store traffic builder, believes that more than 3 million of its current edition will be distribu ted this year; it is offered through 60,000 dealers and fran chse holders from coast to coast, at a low cost. From a cost standpoint, Ar nold believes that the use of albums has advantages. A big initial order by the sponsoring manufacturer allows special ar rangements with the perform ing artist or units. The sponsor does not count costs of advertis ing, merchandising, point of sale display and other promotional materials in the purchase price; there is high volume and small per unit distribution cost. Some companies have used the records to furnish a tie-in with sponsored television shows. Tie-In Sales A number of manufacturers have had special records cre ated for sale only in retail stores, with the sales tied in with their products. Companies using this form of the promo tional record include Kleenex, Ordinarily the music used in the records come from the re cording company's existing li brary, although special record ings are done for some, such as the Goodyear album this year.

WILSON United Press International Just published are the mak ings of a big and smelly mess in Washington in which it is al leged that many members of the Congress and other U.S. of ficials were bribed by the late Rafael Trujillo, Dominican dic tator. These allegations appear in "Trujillo: The Last of the Cae sars' (published at $4.95 by Henry Regnery Co., Chicago). The author is Arturo Espaillat, described by the publisher as: "A graduate of West Point, (former) head of the Domini can army, for a time Domini can consul and U.N. represent ative in New York, and at the time of Trujillo's murder head of internal security." Espaillat writes that Trujillo's murder was arranged by the U.S. State Department and that Prof. Je sus De Galindez was killed by the U.S. Central Intelligence agency. The book's most sensational chapters, however, allege multi-million dollar bribery. A member of te publising house said this would involve some 30 members of the Congress, mostly senators and House committee chairmen, in addi tion to State Department offi cials and other public figures. Says Names Available The publisher's covering let ter accompanying the book to some reviewers noted the cir cumstantial nature of Espail- lat's charges and slates: "We couldn't mention names in the book, but these are available through an interview printed in a Canadian paper." So, much or all of the Espail lat story has been previously published in Canada and some also in the Indianapolis, Ind., Star. On Jan. 22, 1963, reporter Robert Jones led off a piece in the Star like this: "A shadowy but e.-.plosive drama is being en-.cted behind the scenes in Washington these days. If a fraction of the whispered reports is true, a situation may be in the making which could explode with a far bigger bang than the Teapot Dome scandal of the '20s." Investigation Seems Likely Reporter Jones seems not to have overestimated much, if any, the megaton potentialities of the scandal that would bil low around proof of charges contained in this newly pub lished book. It is not conceiv able that the U.S. Congress will be able to avoid investi gating the charges of bribery. After all, the names of bribe lakers are said to be available in Canada. Author Espaillat names indi viduals in Washington who might know, as agents or other wise, where Trujillo put his bribe money. There is some where a file recording all of the bribe transactions, accord ing to Espaillat. He believes it may be concealed in Washing ton, perhaps in official custody. If so, the file is being sup pressed. Politicians were not alone in accepting Trujillo money, ac cording to Espaillat. Some newsmen got Trujillo favors and some persons were bribed merely because of their stand ing in the community and not for any official position they oc cupied. Espaillat pictures Trujillo as a sucker for any highly placed American who might say a good word for the dictator in ths right place. The Senate now is inves tigating one of its clerks. Con gress scarcely can afford to re fuse to investigate itself. LOG ENDS Quick Delivery MEDFORD FUEL CO.

My husband and f thought we had a close rela tionship with our 15-year-old son. Now it's like the end nf the world for us. Two weeks ago he was picked up by the author ities as a truant. Unknown to us he'd been pals with two hoodlums, one a juvenile de linquent with a record. He'd cul classes, sat in poolrooms, forged my name to- absence excuses. He was let off with a warning, but we must report weekly. Michael V. I had no one to talk lo at home or at school. The classes were murder. I fail ed every quiz in chemistry and Latin.

The Council ''Save the sur face and you save all" may be 1 true of a house but not of a family. The shinv veneer of , the V. household has cracked to reveal an insidious undercoat of marital hostility. Using Mi chael, Mrs. V. and her husband have been "getting back" at each other. Despite protesta tions of love (or their son, these parents were so wrapped up in their own ego - needs that they were hardly aware of Michael's. Added to his school worries was his guilt over being the cause of so much disagreement be tween his parents . . . But there is a bright side. The "shock" may activate the "therapy." Reporting to the Youth Board, Mr. and Mrs. V. may receive counseling for their marriage which, in turn, will enable them lo offer Michael a united, con sistent love. Once a boy realizes he was not the cause, onlv the outlet of bitterness, a big load ' will be lifted from him.
