Tax Installments
Are Due on Trucks
PORTLAND Highway use
tax installments are due Dec.
31, according to A. G. Erickson,
district director of the Internal
Revenue Service for Oregon.
All Oregon truck and bus own
ers who have elected to pay
their highway use tax in in
stallments must pay them by
Dec. 31. A notice of payment
due is being sent, Erickson said.
A Form 2290 should be filed
on all taxable vehicles by the
end of the monlh following the
month thev were first used on
nublic hichwavs. However, li
ability for highway use tax
arises only once each year on
each taxable vehicle. Therefore,
on second-hand trucks or buses
acquired, the new owner should
check to see if the use tax has
already been paid by the pre
vious owner for the current year.
If it has, the new owner incurs
1 no liability for tax on his use
I of such vehicle for that year.
Erickson reminded truck or
bus owners who first became

Roseburg Property
Transfer Is Nearer
WASHINGTON - Congress
man Robert B. Duncan (D-Ore)
said today his legislation to
transfer certain property from
the Veterans Administration to
the City of Roseburg has moved
another step forward.
Duncan announced that Con
gressman William L. Dawson,
chairman of the House Govern
ment Operations Committee,
has referred his bill (HR5185)
to the Government Activities
Subcommittee.
"I have contacted the sub
committee chairman, Congress
man Jack Brooks, and asked
that hearings be held at the
earliest possible date," Duncan
said.
All Federal agency reports
are in on the transfer and the
City of Roseburg has agreed
to the terms suggested by the
Veterans Administration. There
is nothing left now to hold up
speedy consideration of the
bill," Duncan added.
The Bill would provide for the
gratuitous return of a portion
of the land originally donated
by the city for construction of a
VA hospital. Duncan noted that
any legislation which included
a gratuitous provision always
received a certain amount of
opposition, but he felt in this
case it wouldn't affect passage
of the bill.
Duncan pointed out that the
companion bill (S1203) sponsor-
ed by Sen. Wayne Morse and
Maurine Neuberger is current
ly before the Senate Govern
ment operations committee.
Douglas County Circuit Court
award by Judge Don H. Sanders
of $25,520 to Clco Hoyle, a pedes
trian, who was struck by a pick
up driven by 0. P. Van Horn
in Roseburg.
The high court affirmed a
Multnomah County Circuit Court
ruling by Judge Virgil H. Lang-
try which dismissed a complaint
by Winifred G. Grown of Ara
Vista Realty that he was en
titled to a real estate commis
sion from Mr. and Mrs. Eman
uel Scidl.
The Supreme court upheld a
judgment of involuntary non
suit entered by Lane County Cir
cuit Court Judge Edward Leavy
in favor of Weyerhaeuser Com
pany. The lower court had found
that James E. Parker, who
claimed he was injured as the
result of company negligence,
had failed to prove his injury
was caused by the alleged negligence.
A decree dismissing George
and Irene Van Natta's complaint
in a suit to quiet title to tax forc-
closed property in Columbia
County was affirmed by the high
court. The Columbia County Cir
cuit Court of Judge Avery A.
Combs was upheld by the high
court ruling.
Conviction Affirmed
Conviction of William Junior
Evle, before Umatilla County
Circuit Judgo William W. Wells,
on a charge of using a motor
vehicle without authority, for
which he was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary, was af
firmed by the Supreme Court.
Also upheld was an order from
the Benton County Circuit Court
of Judge Fred McHcnry deny
ing Mary Beclman's motion for
a change of custody of her minor
daughter from the child's fa
ther. In 1961 the high court up
held an order transferring cus
tody from Mrs. Beclman to Boyd
Beelman, the father.
Duncan Introduces
Bill To Help Yets
s
WASHINGTON - Congress
man Robert B. Duncan (D-Ore.)
has introduced legislation to
liberalize restrictions placed on
veterans pensions. Duncan said
his bill is aimed primarily at
helping veterans of World War
I.
"The major objective of my
bill is to introduce a measure
that can be passed and will
provide additional benefits for
aged and needy veterans while
there is still time for them to
enjoy it," Duncan said.
He pointed out that the bill,
sponsored by the Veterans of
World War I, is so embroiled
in controversy it is doubtful
whether it can pass the Con
gress, and if it does, a Presi
dential veto is "possible, if not
probable."
Duncans bill, if enacted.
would declare any veteran over
65 "permanently and totally dis
abled, and thus eligible tor
non-service connected pensions,
subject to income limitations.
It would also liberalize these
limitations for certain totally
and permanently disabled single
veterans and widows without
children.
The measure would increase
from $70 to $90 the monthly reg
ular aid and attendance bene
fits for veterans unable to care
for themselves, and would ex
clude income earned by a vet
eran s wife from being com
puted in figuring the veteran's
pension.
The Congressman pointed out
that his bill resulted from a
year's study of veterans legis
lation. It was also stimulated
by many conferences and con
versations with veterans of
W. W. 1 throughout the district,"
Duncan said.

Dr. Albert R. Kitzhabcr, pro

Canadian Tries To
Locate Uncle Here
The Yuletide season is the
season for thinking of families.
This is probably why Mrs. Ma
rie Cox of Uptergrove, Ontario,
Canada, is trying to find her
uncle, M. F. McDcrmolt.
A query was received by the
Hotel Grand, where McDcrmott
once made his home in Medford.
He has not communicated with
! his nicer- since December, 1950,
she informed Earl P. Hammond:
manager of the hotel.
The hotel s lues do not go
back to 1950 and tho ownership
of the hotel has changed during
that time. Hammond has been
manager for three years.
If anvone has information
which might lead to the where
abouts of McDermott, Hammond
has asked that he be contacted
so he can help the woman who
appears eager to locate her un
cle. A call, also, was received at
the Mail Tribune Thursday night
from Lillian Jones of 58115 SW
84th St., South Miami, Fla., who
is trying to locale a cousin, R.
E. Golden.

Bert Pree Opens
Office in Medford
Bert Pree, who has been in
the real estate business in Med

with other realtors, has opened
her own real estate offices at
704 W. Sixth St.
Mrs. Pree recently became a

Associated with Mrs. Pree at
the new location is Dorothy
Ricks, who has worked with
real estate firms in Medford for
two years.
Council of Teachers of English.
He addressed the annual
luncheon meeting of the NCTE
College Section at the conven
tion of the Modern Language
Association in Chicago. Dr. Kitz
habcr was installed as NCTE
president at the organization's
Thanksgiving meeting in San
Francisco.
Scholars of language and
rhetoric and literature from the
colleges and universities must
agree to work closely with the
people who are teaching Eng
lish in the schools, and with
specialists in English education,
he said.
He pointed out that summer
institutes are helping to improve
the preparation of teachers al
ready in the field, but added
that federal funds were needed
to support such institutes.
Little Likelihood
"I doubt that the specter of
a 'national curriculum' which
we citcn see raised should
alarm us. Considering how hard
it is to get English teachers to
agree on almost anything, I
think there is little likelihood
of any such monolithic course
of study emerging."
Dr. Kitzhaber is the director
of the Project English center at
the University, which is part
of a federally-financed program
to Improve the English curricu
lum. Project English, he said,
has been a promising develop
ment, but he added that panels
which review such proposals
should be made up of persons
who have a comprehensive
knowledge of English as an aca
demic discipline.
Commenting on "the present
uneasy status of the college
freshman English course," he
said that many English depart
ments are faced with the pros
pect cither of upgrading the
traditional freshmen Eng 1 1 s h
course or of getting rid of it,
A great many Americans
show little understanding of the
value ol literature and indeed
arc often hostile to it, he con
tinued. "It is literature and the
other humane studies that help
to provide us with the sense of
our own identity."
