Warren's hopes for retain ing for another two years the $100,000,000 taxes voted in 1943 were in keeping of the senate to day. . . . . - The tax measure, carrying the 65 to 13 OK of the assembly, faces additional controversy in me upper nouse, out the govern or's band appeared to have been strengthened by his victory yes terday in the assembly.

THE WILD STALLION P L U s I FRED STONE R0CHELLE HUDSON RICHARD riSKE A COLUMBIA PICTURE buiALLi TO READ YANKEE By JACK BELL SAN riiAiNClSCU, April 26 OP) Senator 'iom Connolly, a i'exan who believes m lorce against outlaws, emerged louay as America's spokesman in snap ing powers of the proposed world security l-uuuv.ii. Tne veteran democrat, who is , chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, was chosen I as the American representative I of tne group which will pass on i powers ot tne ii-memoer coun cil. Under the Dumbarton Oaks nlan before this confer ence, the council will decide j wncmer to usu turtc against u aggressor. No American delegate may serve as chairman of any of the work-commissions of the United Nations conference because Sec retary of State Stettlnius is chair man of the whole works. But from even a secondary seat, what the American delegate proposes is likely to carry more weight than many suggestions from other nations. Thus Connally, who is more accustomed to Texas cowhand linao than the stilted language of diplomacy, will have a potent voice m determining wneiner. the council voting procedure agreed upon at Yalta by Presi dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin can stand up under fire from small nations.

Under Schaupp's plan, the Inter-regional will leave Portland southbound to Eugene, thence go over the- Willamette highway to No. 97 at Chcmult, thence south through Klamath Falls to a junction with the Pacific high way at Weed, This route has been heavily traveled by through traffic since the com pletion of the Willamette high way in 1939. "The Klamath route- Is short er, faster, less - costly to build and to travel," said Watters. "The hard engineering facts point to its designation as the 'through highway.'- Arguments won't change those . facts. "We rccognire the need for ad equate highway facilities for the fine communities along the Pa cific highway in southern Ore gon. The claim there is more local traffic over there, is a strong reason ' for. desienating the Klamath route for through travel, following a principle that is now widely accepted by engl' WIPES PINE "TRElp , i ...u ,,( hat iieeu. tn luauwm natural advantages that jnnka It the logical through Una."
