FwrMwrikred Meant x fans Off Ballots 8ALEM I Ballot measures to abolish pari-mutuel betting and welght-nttle truck taxes will not be required to carry "price tags," the Oregon Supreme Court ruled Fri day. Both these measures. U Dansea by voters at the Nov. 4 election, would reduce state revenue. The Supreme Court. In unanimously up holding the earlier ruling of judge Rex Kimmell of Marlon County, said the price tags were necessary only on measures calling lor in creased expenditures. The so-called price tag law was passed by the 1951 legislature. Sinn Both suits were brought by op ponents of the measures. Defend ants were Secretary of Stata Earl T. Newbry. State Treasurer Wal ler J. Pearson and stata Finance Director Harry 8. Dorman. These three officials are required to pre pare price tag for expenditure measures. The ult sklng the price tag on the anti-betttng bill waa filed by Dr. Frank Menne. chairman of the State Racing Commission, and Henry W. Colllna, former state rac ing commissioner.

The season in the mule deer re fuge of the two counties orglnally was scheduled for Oct. lt-. But th commission said o many hunt ers were concentrated In (he Lake and Klamaib arras, that a special season might Jeopardise deer life on th range. Tlie hunters went to Southern and Eastern Oregon for their sea son this year when the forests of most of Western Oregon were closed because of fire danger. The Game Commission said It would meet Monday to consider extending the deer season In West ern Oregon. Ballot Measuret-No. Voters Asked to Loosen Grip On Property Tax Levying Base (This la the second of a series of article diorasamg the various measare the Oregon geaeral election ball Nv. 4 Ed note.) By HALE SCARBROl'GH Five ballot proposition will be taken up In today' discussion, one of extreme importance to the tax payerand that means everybody: one to extend to Korean war veta certain consideration already giv en World War II vets; ana mree that actually don't make much dif ference, one way or another. 306-307. Constitutional amend ment to allow the legal Vetera ol any taxing unit (county city, school district, tire district, etc.) to establish a nw tax base. Oregon's- constitution provides that a tax Jevylng body Is restrict ed. In any one year, to levying a property tax not to exceed 6 per cent more in dollars and cents than the highest amount It collect ed In any one ot the Immediately oast three years, without a spe cial public vote. In other words, ny taxing ais trlct 4ake a school district, for Instance collecting a tax ot $100. 000 for this year, and that amount or lee for last year and the year before, can legally collect next year 1106.000, without special ap proval ot the district' voter. Tnat 6100.000 Is Its tax base, and it can only be Increased 6 per cent a year without authorisation of the voters. As a, result of this limitation, each taxing body Is held to the original tax levy of Its first year of existence, plus s per 'cent in crease a year, making no allow ance for a more rapid need tor Increased funds, for Inflation, for higher costs and more demand tor services. The only way It can get around the limitation Is each year call a special election and ask the voters of the district to okay a levy above the 6 per cent limitation. The most notable local example ot that Is the system whereby both the Klamath Falls school districts and the county school district ev ery June call special elections to ask for sums of money outside th t per cent limitation. Their tax base Is low, and the 6 per cent allowable yearly Increase doesn't catch up with Increased costs. Often the amount requested out side the ( per cent limitation ia more than the amount the district can raise legally within the limita tion. KLAMATH ALL8, OREGON Shell-Scarred Hill Top Korean 'No Mans Land' By STAN CARTER SEOUL. Sunday, Oct. 12 I Screaming Allied shell fire raked the bloody crest of wnne Horse mountain Saturday night, leaving Police Take Nude Dancer A young man who has been startling suburban housewives for several weeks Dy doing a noctur nal exhiblllonlstlc dance In the beam of his auto headlights, was captured late last night by State Police. He was Identified a John Wil liam Tilton, 24, who lives on a dairy farm In the Henley area. The youth pleaded guilty thus morning in District Court to a charge of disorderly conduct In volving lewd exhibitionism, but Judge D. E. Van Vactor ordered a sanity hearing for him. Tilton was located last night after State Police received calls from two different suburban streets that someone was cavorting in the nude in the headlights of a truck. An officer on hi way to work spotted the truck and chased it, but was being outdistanced when a Bute patrol car met ana stopped the truck. The officer reported be found Tilton with his clothing awry and a white handercniel folded into a mask. The exhibitionist had been reported wearing a mask. Tilton admitted to officers that he was the man they had been looking for since July 4, when the first calls from the suburban area came In about someone posing in the nude in the headlight beam of an auto. On several occasions since that time, police nave hurriedly sn- strtied such nlghitlme calls, -but trie exhibitionist was always gone when they arrived. Young Tilton said In court today that his actions were against his better Judgement and against his will, but that be had been in pain and unable to sleep for some time because of a back deformity. Judge Van Vactor ordered him to be kept in the County Jail pend ing the mental hearing. 2 If this amendment is approved, the school districts, and other property-taxing bodies, can go betore the voters with the proposition ot setting a new tax base, one high enough so that annual elections for additional authorization won't be needed. When the new tax base Is ap proved, then the 6 per cent limi tation applies again. The new base can be Increased at a maximum of per cent a year. . The Idea of this ballot measure la to get some districts which have a low tax base out ot their finan cial straight Jacket, to save the cost of these special elections, to allow the administrations of these various taxing units to go ahead with their planning for the future without having to worry about whether the people are going to say yes or no when asked tor the money. It sounds like good business, but here again the voter should ask himself: "What am I losing?" It this new tax base proposal Is approved, the voter, the property taxpayer, will be seriously loosen ing the grip he has on the people who spend his money. So long as taxing bodies, such as the school boards right here In Klamath Falls, have to go to the people every year to ask for mon ey, the knowledge that the people might get riled -up and say no undoubtedly causes them to be ex ceedingly careful that they don't ask for more money than Is needed and that they don't go in for any frivolous spending. 306-306. A constitutional amend ment to augment the Oregon war veterans fund. World War II vets of this state have the privilege of obtaining stste farm and home loans at 4 per cent Interest. Ballot Measure 308-306 would extend the privilege to Korean - war vets, and won't cost the state anything. 310-311, A constitutional amend ment creating a legislative assem bly emergency committee. ' This measure ts designed to le galise something the legislature has been doing for years, establishing a committee of senators and rep resentatives to serve as an emer gency board while the legislature ts not In session. This board has the authority to okay spending from an emergency tuna set up by the legislature, exercising; s SATURDAY, OCT. 11, 1SZ .the rubbled Western Koresn bat tle peak an apparent no-man's land. The shell-wrecked bill top seem ingly offered no protection for bat tered Chinese Communist troops who seized the crest late Saturday. An Allied officer said the Reds might have a few troops on the hill top, but AUled spotters had seen none since the lost assault. South Korean defenders held on about SO yards below the top. These troops are pledged to "stay and fight" by orders of the ROK Ninth Division commander. Front dispatches Indicated the flaming five day old battle for the crest was far from over. More Chinese troops were reported grouping to the north. Fighter bomber pilots concen trated on front line strikes in sup port of Allied Infantrymen, parti cularly in the Chorwon sector, which dominates the road net to Seoul and South Korea. The Chinese launched their at tack at 4:15 p.m. and won control of the crest at 6:30 p.m. MANEUVER The South, Koreans, In bold maneuver, had won the hill only a few hours earlier at 12:30 D.m. They circled White Horse below the crest, charged from all sides and killed or drove off all but two small pockets of Chinese. Tanks manned bv South Koreans rumbled into the valley that winds north of White Horse. They turned their big rifles on a nearby hill which the Chinese have used as a springboard for assaults on White Horse. But the maneuver did not stop the Reds or long. Before launching Operation Iron Fist that won back White Horse, the weanr but determined ROKs fought off seven fanatical human wave attacks against their posi tions on three slopes of the hilL They routed the bugle-blowing, screaming Chines in tierce, close ouarter ftirhtlnff. , The South . Korean hit-run raid on the hill north of White -tvorse blocked off Red? reinforcements. The South Korean called their flanking move around White Horse "Operation Iron Fist" because of Its nearness to the city of Chorwon which means "Field of Iron." The shell-crate red hill dominates the southwest corner of the Red's old "Iron Triangle" troop massing and supply area. It controls the road net leading into South Korea. continuing budgetary control over the executive and administrative oflices. 312-313. A constitutional amend ment to tlx the date upon which elective senators and representa tives begin their terms of office. At present the terms of Oregon's legislators begin the day after they are elected. The proposal Is to de lay mat until tne first Monday in January after the election. It real ly, in the normal course of events, doesn't make much difference. But there conceivably Is a situation which could arise where there would be a doubt as to Woo is eligible to hold office. Suppose that In some county mere is a hot contest for state representative, an Incumbent be ing sorely pressed by another can- 1 diaate, ana uie voting is so close that the outcome can't be deter mined until the official vote can vass Is completed several days af ter the election. But In the meantime, a special session of the legislature la called. Under the present law, who goes? The incumbent, whose term may have been ended the day after the election? Or the other fellow, who might appear to have been elected at the unofficial election night count ot votes but who, at the official canvass a few days later, might find himself nosed out? Such a, circumstance is far fetched. ' . On the other hand. If the terms of office ot legislators don't start until the first Monday in January any special session of the legisla ture called after election day and before the first Monday in Jan uary Is liable to include . batch of "lame duck" member. 314-315. A Constitutional amend ment regarding the subject mat ter of the titles by which legis lative acts are known. . This Is purely a legislative house keeping matter, tot-simplify law making procedure. It would per mit the legislature tomend a pre vious act of legislation, even though the amendment might contain mat ter germane to the subject but not specifically elucidated In the title 01 tne original legislation. It would prevent the trivial court actions to declare unconstitutional legislative amendments on the tech- nloal ground that the new material violates the state law that "every act shall embrace, but on sub ject."

A grocer and three small children were found murdered Saturday on an old logging road six miles from this northeastern California moun tain town. A fourth chiltr was critically in jured. Robbery was the apparent mo tive, for the grocer, Gard Young, 43. was carrying 7.100 In cash which he bad Just withdrawn from a bank when he and the children vanished Friday. Mrs. Dorothy Elliott, who was caring for Mrs. Young, said she had received word that all the bod ies were stufled in the trunk of Young's car. SURVIVOR At nearby Westwood Hospital. officials said the surviving child was Sondra. 3 2-year-old daughter of the grocer, but that she was suffering mainly from severe shock and is in fair condition. The Chester fire department re ported it had heard that the $7,100 was definitely missing and that two of the bodies were in the car trunk, while two others were where they lay pending a full in vestigation. More than 100 citizens had joined in a ground and aerial search since the little group disappeared. The grocer's car, a 1951 green hardtop convertible, was spotted from the air early Saturday, but officer Jeff Cooley of the state highway patrol said the discovery was made on trie ground by a deer hunter who telephoned1 him.

I.V-A alngle capsule that will cost 63 to 66 and will make a person Immune to infantile paralysis may be avail, able In a couple of years, lay medical scientists. The pill will contain thousand. of weakened polio viruses whijb. have been grown in fertilized hen's eggs. The viruses will pass into the patient's blood stream and the blood will start building antibodies to destroy the viruses. Because ihey are weak, the viruses will not cause the disease but their presence will be sufficient for the blood to build defenses against future polio virus invasions. The Immunity may last five or more year and might even give life-long protection, the research ers said. Basis for this outlook la the dis closure here yesterday that the fertilized hen's egg is an almost ideal medium for mass producing the most deadly type of polio, virus DEVELOPED The process was develoned- bv Dr. Harald R. Cox and associates at Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River, N. Y., and reported by him at a gathering of distinguished scientists for the opening of the University of California's new virus laboratory. a great quantity of vaccine al ready has been made but It must be tested rigorously on animals before it can be tried on humans. Dr. Cox told a nresa conference. The deadly virus was inula harmless by growing many gener ations of the organism until soma of them became non-lethal. This docile type then was produced for the vaccine. Already it has been tested on a few monkeys. They were not harmed and It protected them against virulent doses of In fantile paralysis organisms. ine vaccine thus far made pro tects only against one of three main types of polio the Lansing type, which is rated as the most deadly. There is reason to believe this type can be manipulated so that it also will produce Immunity w uie ouier types, tne Hrunnude and Leon varieties, Dr. Cox said. EVIDENCE Evidence that the weakened Lansing type of virus can pro duce antibodies was disclosed by Dr. Karl F. Meyer, noted expert on epidemic diseases. Viruses sim ilar to tnoae used in the hen s egg technique were produced two years ago and last July were given their first test on 61 children in a. California Institution for the feeble minded. - All 61 youngsters had no. polio antibodies in their blood before being given the vaccine. But they aU developed these antibodies In a few weeks, Dr. Meyer told news men. Football Scores Penn . Princeton ' Penn State W.Vr. Mich.
