Big Oregon Budget Deficit
Facing State
By PAl'L W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM Ifl Oregon's Legisla
ture, which meets in only five more
months, probably will have to find
at least 50 million dollars of new
revenue to finance the state gen
eral fund for the next two-year
budget period.
This bad news means that there
probably will have to be 50 million
dollars worth of new taxes. It will
give the lawmakers a serious 'fi
nancial problem.
The picture looked just as dark
at this time four years ago. But
suddenly, the income tax yield
major source of state finances-
took a big spurt with a pickup in
business, and that balanced the
budget.
But now, prospects are that income-
tax receipts will decline.
With so many unemployed and
with business suffering from the
lumber strike, it looks like income
tax receipts will drop. The deficit
could be more than 50 millions.
The 1953 Legislature had a sur
plus fund amounting to 44 millions,
but the surplus facing the next
Legislature will be down to 7 mil
lions. That means the last Legis
lature was 37 million dollars better
off than the next one will be.
On top of that, the new Legis
lature will have to find an extra
5 millions for public welfare, and
some money for new college and
institution buildings.
Add this to increased costs in
other branches of government, and
you have the extra 50 millions that
are needed.
The two-year budget of the 1953
Legislature totaled 193 millions.
The new budget will be well over
200 millions.

Legislature
Where will the needed 50 mil'
lion dollarss come from?
The Legislature could levy 24
million of it by a tax on property.
Oregon hasn't bad a state property
tax since 1940. There's a law that
limits a slate property levy to 6
mills, or about 24 millions.
The rest of the needed money
could be collected by new taxes.
However, this would be' difficult,
because the voters have a habit of
&lapp ing down new taxes.
The property tax could be as
sessed without the voters getting
a chance to defeat It,

don't hesitate much when it comes
to voting to spend money.
Of the 193 millions appropriated
by the 1953 Legislature, the people
voted to spend 77 millions of it.
This latter amount includes 66
millions in basic school aid to
school districts.
Reducing state expenses is a lot
easier than it sounds.
In the first place, 53 per cent
of the budget is used for education.
This includes 36 per cent for grade
and high schools, and ,17 per cent
for colleges and the university.
Another 14 per cent goes 'for pub
lic welfare, and 19 per cent is used
for state institutions.
Those costs are hard to cut, be
cause the number of children in
the schools is Increasing, the popu
lation of state institutions is on the
rise, and demands for state wel
fare help grow.
The cost of general government
totals only 6.7 per cent of the
budget, so. you can't cut much
there.

"DENNIS THE "MENACE"
'it dwrcosrmAWt'ff 1 just traded wtrkxib for it.'
Jodcufi
By DOROTHY HOE
AP Women's Editor
American business men suddenly
have found that It's fun to decorate
their offices, says Melanle
Kahane, who tells them how.
"Just as everybody all at once
seemed to discover the American
home," says this decorative dec
orator. "Men have discovered of
fices as a field for personal ex
pression. With all the current to-
do about interior decor, any
one would think that up to now
we've been hanging from trees.'
Miss Kahane, known as one of
the ton figures in her field, ar
rived in New York's decorator's
row from Sioux Falls, S.D., by
way of Paris. She has designed
interiors for homes, apartments,
offices, showrooms, restaurants,
hotels and factories. Says she:
"All this sudden office-consciousness
really makes very good sense.
Anyone can work better in plea
sant surroundings. The Army can.
Industry can. So can executives.
but they were the last to discov
er It.
"A lot of the country's most im
portant financiers were still back
in the golden oak office era until
recently.
"But all that Is changing fast.
The biir bovs have found that they
can cet more done in an office
that is restful and functional, with
everything planned for their con
venience. They are discovering
that it helps to have an easy chair
nr a couch where they can relax
for a few minutes, or a television
spr. where thev can keep up with
congressional hearings and other
events which affect their business.
"Besides, a lot of men find that
one way to be a success is w iuu.
successful and a handsome mod
ern office provide the right back
ground." Today' smart office looks more
like the library at home, says Miss
icohnne. It can come equipped with
all conveniences such as kltchen-
ettes, refrigerators, Dars, dressing
looms and TV sets.

Maybe It's not the H-bomb we
should have been worrying about
all this time. No, sir . . . it's the
H-llne.
That's the new
style of 1955 as
dreamed of ny
one Christian
Dior, Paris
(that's in
France). And
frankly, we cows
have ,too much
faith in you hu-
mans' nature to ;
believe you would f
stoop to the ex
tremes this
Frenchman has
BESSY
plotted upon you.
Here's what he has done:
The waistluie goes clear to the
hips, which are "Just" permitted,
and that's all. Sloping shoulders
weakly hold up coats and Jackets
u-hirt, rfiarh limt hplnw thft hiDS.
The accent isn't on anything fem
inine at an. it s on a siraignt unc,
a "flat look", and something des
tined -to turn men's eyes to else
whereanywhere else.
; At least that's what we cows
think. And Buster, my bull friend,
tosses in his two-bits in agree
ment. If It ain't feminine, he says,
it ain't worth it.
Now there's another French de
signer named Jacques Fatti, and
he has set his '55 fashions based
heavily on femininity. And to show
tie s thinking or you gals and not
fame (or notoriety), M. Fath has
tried to design a fashion for every
type of figure. This gets our vote.
5.000 to 0 in the Klamath Basin
(that's how many of us dairy
cows there are here).
The only trouble is, Dior's fash-
Ions have a habit of catching on.
A habit we do approve of is
the milk-drinking habit. When
nature Intended milk for food, she
meant It far everyone. Grade A
milk is pure and rich and healthy
calculated to give you Orade A
looks no matter what style you
wear.' A healthy look is a good
look, and with plenty of milk,
that' exactly what yon t.

she observes, "but he spends more
time in his office. In order to do
his best work, he needs an office
with facilities to meet whatever j
emergency arises." i
Miss Kahane says the era of red j
leather chairs and steel desks has
passed. Nowadays the men prefer
handsome tweed upholstery and
furniture that could fit in a modern
living room. Some like modern
decor, some are traditional, but
the idea is to make the office look
like a room at home.

Adjusted Air Regulations
Planned For Jet Airliners
SEATTLE Ml Major changes
in 'the nation's civil air regulations,
to adjust them to jet-age flying,
are in prospect.
This became evident Thursday
following a conference between
Frederick B. Lee, civil aeronautics
administrator, and William M. Al
len, president of Boeing Airplane
Co.
Boeing has high hopes that Its
jet-powered, four-engine 101, for
which the Air Force announced an
initial order last week, also will
become the first airline Jet trans
port in the United States.
Allen told a reporter, after the
conference, that Lee agreed that
some major changea of U.S. civil
flying rules may be required in

Gloria Grahame, 35, who won an

Howard, 38, -produced such radio
and TV shows as "My Friend Irma"
and "That's My Boy."
Miss Grahame has been married
twice before, to actor Stanley Cle

He said one rule made obsolete
by jets is that a new type of air
plane be flown ISO hours before
.being granted a certificate;
Allen said that while with an
earlyrday Boeing airliner this
meant the equivalent of five flights
across the United States, and with
the Stratocrutser it meant 12 such
flights, with the 707 it could mean
30 transcontinental flights.
Allen estimated that it would
cost Boeing more than a million
dollars in insurance, crew, fuel
and other costs to meet this re
quirement. Allen said that while Boeing is
greatly Interested in commercial
development of the 707, bs an air
liner, Its first obligation is to the
Air Force order (or tanker ver
sions. The Air Force has declared
itself In need of jet-powered tank
ers for high-altitude, high-s peed
aerial refueling of jet bombers
such as the Boeing B52.
"We won't be In a position to
talk prices and delivery schedules
with the airlines until we see
where we stand on our military
obligations and make certain that
the Air Force is satisfied," Allen
said.
