Dr. Byrne points out that nearly half of the increase is accounted for by "automatic" items. Such items, he said, include $464,000 for the state retirement plan and substantial amounts for maintenance of new buildings, civil service and retirement ad ministrative costs, and a fund to provide approximately 10 per cent average salary increases. Fixed millage income, based on assessed valuation, is esti mated the same as for the cur rent biennium, or $4,589,953.86 although measured as a property levy, this has all been offset for many years by income tax re ceipts.

The president told his news conference that Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio, republican na tional committee campaign di rector, had used a S40 word meaning deceit in criticizing his revised budget estimates. Brown said in a statement earlier that the estimates were "misleading either through the use of imagination or inganna tion." Mr. Truman declared he did not use $40 words like that and what Brown had to say adds up to obfuscation. In reply to a question the president said he never had placed a value on the word "obfuscation" but de scribed it as a democratic word. One of the fires was In an old CCC building at the north en trance. It was quickly detected, and the Winema farms fire truck assisted monument employes in dousing the blaze before it did any serious damugc. The other fire was In grass, also at the north entrance. It was quickly checked. Earlier in tho season, a light ning bolt hit a hollow juniper tree and sot it on fire In the midst of a heavy downpour of rain. Fire crewmen who put out the fire came in soaking wet. Purple Heart Urged For Merchant Marine PORTLAND.

Navy Reserve No Handicap Contrary to some impressions, the inactive naval reserve does not interfere with civilian life, according to Navy Recruiter L. J. Caillier. Many ex-service men have been afraid that the re serve would "tie them down," he said. Stating some of the advantages of the naval reserve, Caillier , said that men reenlisting would retain the rating at the time of their discharge. All inactive duty will count on longevity pay j increases. There is a two-week j tiaining cruise each year with! full pay and allowances, al though, he pointed out, training ! cruises are not compulsory. j All men with honorable dis charges and who .have served in World War II are eligible. i Further information mav be ' obtained from the local recruit ing officer in the post office.

On consulting a t'icsariis. re porters found the word "ingan nation" listed as a synonym for deception. Mr. Truman was asked If there would be a better chance to balance the budget under the republicans. He replied obvi ously not. The house voted unanimously for passage of the terminal leave pay bill, he said and Rep. Brown voted for it. He added that both parties and the president will have to take credit for the measure and siid he was willing to take credit for his own part in sign ing it. Classified Ads Bring Results.
