automobile, found later abandoned
in Centralis.

house on the front of the lot, in

Navy To Aid
Army Vessels
SEATTLE. Dec. 17 i.-P) Navy
rescue ships raced the tossing North
Pacific ocean today to the aid of
two disabled army vessels the rud
derless drifting tanker El Caney and
the partially flooded cargo boat
FS-245.
The El Caney. which has drifted
more than 100 miles since its rudder
was torn loose and its propeller
damaged late Monday, was expected
to be intercepted about 9 p. m.
(PSTi tonight by the navy salvage
vessel Bolster.
The navy fleet tug. the Tekesta.
is en route to the aid of the FS-245
which hit a rock near Herbert island
in the Aleutians in a storm. It was
not known here what time the Te
kesta would reach the side of the
vessel which has pulled off the rock
and proceeded toward Sequam is
land to ride out the storm, the 13th
naval district headquarters said.
Water flooded the chain locker of
the FS-245 but the bulkhead was
holding. '
The El Caney. a transportation
corps tanker, was placed about 415
miles southwest of Adak in the
outer Aleutians in a radioed report
from the master of the stricken ship.
Capt. Ole Svchaug of Seattle and
Portland.
No Tails, So
Landon Out
NEW YORK. Dec. 17 tJPi Former
Governor Alt M. Landon of Kansas,
republican presidential candidate in
1936. was barred from the Metro
politan Opera club Monday night
because he was not in formal attire.
Landon, who was the guest of
George A. Sloan, president of the
Metropolitan club and chairman of
its board of directors, said he "en
joyed the opera hugely and all that
went with it." After the first act
they went to the club, adjoining the
auditorium.
"Anyway," said Landon, obviously
amused by recollection of the situa
tion, "I was barred at the door be
cause I was not wearing tails. And
nothing that George said would
change the mind of the men at the
door who wore a full dress suit.
"I said to George, 'Don't worry
about me, for I've been barred be
fore from other places because I
wasn't wearing tails'."

retary of Agriculture Anderson to

of last year's grain shortage in the

assurance that there will be no
repetition of these shipments that
will deplete the supplies in our
area."
He asked that the agriculture de
partment make Inventories and
draw a definite plan to provide for

Certain gifts made by employers
to veterans in school or training

productive labor in the determina
tion of subsistence allowances. Zeno
H. Dent, veteran's administration
training officer here, explained to
day. Christinas gifts which are reason
able in amount and made by a
firm to veterans and non-veterans
in the same amount without re
gard to length of service or to salary
do not have to be Included in the
trainees' wage reports to the VA.
Such gifts in the past have been
considered as bonuses and were re
portable. Dent said. The general
rule that bonuses must be included
in earnings still holds, however.
The VA representative added that
veterans in college under the GI bill
must file monthly earnings reports,
if actual earnings are over $110 a
month and also over estimated earn
ings which the veteran reported at
the start of fall term.

Court Hears
Tax Case
SALEM. Dee. 17 iAv The slate
supreme court heard arguments to
day In the Oregon State Federation
of Labor suit to declare Invalid state
income tax increases and the 1 per
cent witliholdiug tax.
The case Is on appeal from the
Marlon county circuit court, which
ru'ed against the federation, holding
both taxes are constitutional.
The federation contended the
measures were illegal because the
legislature made their taking effect
dependent upon the defeat of the
sales tax bill at the special election
twn months ago.
The Income tax increases, accom
plished by reducing exemptions,
were made effective with all Income
earned In 1947. The withholding tax
would become law next January 1,
so a supreme court ruling Is ex
pected before that date.
The withholding tax would not he
a new levy, but would be a credit
against regular income taxes.

gated by the complaints that are
often heard about the "rowdy out

to prove this statemrnt Incorrect.
Another reason foi the special day
was to attempt to set an example for
the underclassmen, as the senior
art! the oldest class In school. A
short class meeting was held Tues
day to talk over the Idea, with Pres
ident Glenn Loren handling the
golngs-ou. Short talks were also ren
dered by Pat McMillan, Jim Crls
mon and Stanley Woodruff, princi
pal Mr. Woodruff was. by the wav,
very much In favor of Ihe day and
urged the class to participate whole,
heartedlv. This day wll' not In Ihe
least affect the keeping of the tradi
tional senior "Hick Day" In Ihe
spring.
And with the seniors dressed In
their best, the Christmas cantata
was presented to the student body.
Over an hour In length, the can
