2 Highways
Blocked By
Landslides
SALEM, Feb. 27 W The Co
lumbia River and Oregon Coast
highways wore blocked by slides
Igain today, State Highway En
gineer R. H. Baldock said.
The Columbia river slide, near
Multnomah Falls, is the same
one that closed the highway and
Union Pacific railroad from Feb
ruary 5 to 15. About 300,000
yards of dirt and rock were in
volved in the first slide, but to
day's slide amounts to about
5000 yards.
This morning 200 feet of high
way was covered five feet deep.
Traffic was detoured via the
Washington side of the river at
Cascade Locks and Portland.
Baldock said the road might
be reopened in two days, but it
depends on whether the slide
stops running and whether the
slide takes out the 90-foot wood
en bridge that was built across
the gap in the road which was
cut in the first slide.
' Start Work -
Equipment, including huge
shovels and bulldozers, started
working on the slide this morn
ing. They had still been clean
ing up from the first slide.
The coast -highway trouble
again , was near Manzanita.
where the road started slipping
toward the sea. This section was
opened up only two days ago,
after being closed for three
weeks. Traffic again was being
detoured by the Sunset and Ne-
canicum highways.
Baldock said the slide problem
is the worst in the commission's
history.
But there were some bright
spots in today s road report.
Washouts on the Willamette
highway were cleared up today,
so that two-way traffic was re
stored on the entire route. The
pavement on all mountain roads
was almost free of snow and ice,

Remember Deductions When
Filing. Income Tax Return
(Editor's Not: This is another
of icveral itorUi xplaining who
dot what about his income
taxe.)
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 P)
Don't forget your deductions in
filing your 1945 income tax re
turn. You may save money.
Many expenses are deductible.
So arc some kinds of income
which not only are exempt from
tax but don't have to be report
ed. All the kinds of deductions
can't be listed here. If you have
doubts or questions, ask your in-,
tornationsl revenue collector.
The amount of deductions will
determine for many people the
kind of income lax return uiey
file.
People who made $5000, or
over, have to file on the 1040
lon-form anyway. They can do
one of two things in filing that
return:
1. Take, without itemizing,
the standard S500 deduction al
lowed everyone who files on the
1040 long-form. Just write down
$500 in deductions whether they
amounted to that much or not.
2. Or, if your deductions were
more than S500, then claim them
for whatever they are. But when
you do that, you'U have to item-

Judge Tosses
Out Old Case
PORTLAND, Feb. 27 (IP)
(P) A suit in connection with
the sale of a horse 13 years ago
for $100 was dismissed yester
day by Special Judge Ira C.
Tilton after he described the
case as "a strain on the judici
ary and a disgrace to the legal
profession."
The case, which has piled up
costs of more than $1000 in
seven trials and was coming up
for the eighth time, started
after Ben Anderson sold a mare
to Ben and Vernon Kuehl and
took a $100 note. The Kuehls
declared the horse was un
sound, refused to pay; and An
derson repossessed the horse. .
The Kuehls won five. of. the
previous trials, but a new hear
ing was granted each time. One
trial ended in a mistrial and
one in disagreement.
. During the litigation, Ander
son was killed but the case was
carried on by his estate.
The horse also is dead.
Bank Resources
Highest In History
PORTLAND. Feb. 27 (JPi Re
sources of Oregon state banks
totaled the highest in history
during the last six months of
1945, Staje Banking Superin
tendent A. A. Rogers said today.
He said a survey by the na
tional association supervisors of
state banks revealed Oregon
banks had higher gains than the
national average. Assets jumped
17.6 per cent compared to the
national average increase of 8.2
per cent.
Rogers said total assets De
cember 31, 1945 were $147,582,
032; deposits, $139,975,362; and
U. S. securities holdings $93,-791,332.

ize all your deductions.
But what of the people who
made under $5000?
They, depending on their in
dividual case, can file their re
turn on form W-2, the withhold
ing receipt, or the 1040 short
form. Here are the two steps
they can take:
Two Steps
1. Everyone filing form W-2
or the 1040 short-form automati
cally is allowed a deduction of
about 10 per cent of income for
non-taxable expenses even
though they did not amount to 10
per cent.
So you don't have to itemize
any deductions on form W-2 or
the 1040 short-form. Your 10
per cent deduction already has
been taken out or your tax
which you find in the table used
to tell the tax on people using
those forms.
2. If your income was under
$5000 but your deductions were
more than 10 per cent, then use
the 1040 Ions-form where you'll
have to itemize your deductions
but can claim them for what
ever they are.
(Since servicemen, veterans
and their families get special
consideration, their problems
will be handled in a later story.)
First of all, here are kinds of
income which don't have to be
reported on your return at all,
no matter what form you use:
Social security benefits, unem
ployment compensation, gifts ex
cept those given for personal
service, life insurance paid be
cause of the death of the insured,
sickness and injury benefits re
ceived from health or accident
insurance under workmen's com
pensation laws, inheritance or
bequests of money or property
(although the income therefrom
is taxable.)
Deductible Expentei
Here are some deductible ex
penses: Charitable contributions (they
can't exceed 15 per cent of in
come) to religious and charitable
organizations; interest paid on
personal debts, such as bank
loans and mortgages; state in
come and personal property and
real estate except those taxes or
assessments which tend to in
crease the value of your prop
erty.
Also property losses from
war, accident, fire, storm or
other casualty or theft: a special
$500 deduction for the blind; un
compensated traveling expenses
of persons whose work requires
such traveling; use of your car
for business, and this includes
the cost of gasoline, oil, grease;
repairs and cleaning: union dues;
entertaining when done in con
nection with your business: cost
of work clothes and uniforms
when not taking the place of
ordinary clothing; equipment,
tools and instruments used on
your 30b.
Excise Taxes
Federal excise taxes like
those on liquor, tobacco, cosmet
ics, jewelry are not deductible
Medical, hospital and dental
expenses are deductible if they
exceed five per cent of your in
come but are limited to SI 250
if you file a return for yourself
aione or ?Z5U0 if you claim more
than one exemption.
Example: Your income wan
$4000 and your medical ex
penses were $275. You can
claim only what is over S Der
cent of your income. .
rive per cent of your $4000
income is. $200. Subtract that
$200 from $275. medical ex
penses. That leaves you $75 in
deductible medical expenses.
Eccles Rapped By
Pay-Price Bosses
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (Pi
John W. Snyder and Chester
Bowles, wage-price bosses, took
issue today with a statement by
Marriner S. Eccles, federal re
serve chairman, that living costs
might jump 10 per cent under
the administration's new policy.
Economic Stabilizer Bowles
declared President Truman's
wage-price policy would raise
living costs no more than five
per cent.
"I don't know what figures
Mr. Eccles used," Reconversion
Director Snyder told the house
banking committee, and added:
"There is no reason for any
runaway increase in the cost of
living if we get real cooperation
of industry and labor with the
government agencies that ad
minister the new wage price
policy. '
"I see no reason for any ma
terial increase in costs.
Farming In
Valley Periled
VALPARAISO, Ind., Feb. 27
A consulting engineer for the
governor's postwar development
committee warned here thnt un
less the Willamette valley flood
control project is completed
"there won't be any more Wil
lamette valley agriculture" after
a few more floods.
W. M. Bartlctt, pcaklng to
the chamber of commerce,
criticized sportsmen's opposition
to the project "in spite of tlio
fact that tests . . . show the
(Willamette) river so polluted
fish can't live in it."
Bartlctt declared failure of
the state to plun has "dissipated
natural resources to such an ex
tent that the situation is deplor
able." He listed several projects
to provide employment and
create wealth for the state: 1
mining development; 2 ex
ploration of sodium beds in
Sumner and Abert lakes; 3
cinnebar production in Ochoco
mountains: 4 laterite mining
in northwestern Oregon; 5 in
dustrial use of cull vegetables
and waste lumber; 6 rehabili
tation of cut-over and burned
off forest lands: 7 the Willam
ette valley project.
Meat Bill Will
Jump BO Cents
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 W)
OPA officials estimated today
that the average American's
meat bill will go up only about
80 cents a year as the result of
higher wages authorized for
packinghouse workers.
They made this prediction as
the agricultural department, boss
of government - seized meat
plants, prepared to put an addi
tional 16 cents an hour into pay
envelopes of 131,000 employes
of five big packing companies.
While this increase approved
yesterday by the wage stabiliza
tion board applies at present
only to workers at 11 plants of
Swift, Armour, Cudahy, Wilson
and John Morrell. it becomes the
pattern for the industry under
the administration's new wage
price policy.
Valuable Palomino
Stallion Dies
. A valuable Palomino stallion,
owned by Harry K. Tavenner,
stock buyer, died at the auction
yards near here Sunday. The
horse, valued at more than
$1500, had sired a number of
fine Palomino colts in this area.
The Palomino, known as Lark,
had been owned by Tavenner
for some five or six years. His
death was sudden as Lark's
owner said the animal had been
in good health.

Var Crimes
Case Rested
NUERNBERG, Germany, Feb.
27 (A') The allied prosecution
rested its case against 22 top
ranking nazl war leaders lute to
day after more than three
months of hearings before the
international military tribunal.
Arguments on legal aspects
of the attempt to prosecute six
nazi organizations as criminal
groups are scheduled for tomor
row. The defense is likely to
start Monday,
Just before closing of the pros
ecution case, U. S. Deputy Prose
cutor Thomas Dodd obtained the
court's permission to withdraw
from the trial record a document
introduced as evidence more
than a month ago.
Dodd said a further examina
tion of this document, a letter
originally attributed to Defend
ant Alfred Rosenberg which
spoke in glowing terms of the
"anti-Christian" work of the Hit
ler Youth organization, had in
dicated "grave questions as to its
authenticity."
The tribunal denied Joachim
von Rlbbentrop's plea that Win
ston Churchill. Edouard Daladlcr
and other pre-war allied leaders
be summoned as defense witnesses.
