SUNDAY, JULY 13. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE S A Lawmakers See Tax Relief For Self-Employed Persons WASHINGTON I ITU Key lawmakers from both parties agreed today the House soon will approve a hill granting major tax relief to self-employed persons but no tax cuts for employed workers. There was some doubt that the measure would clear the Senate. Some lawmakers felt it probably would he bottled up in the Senate Finance Committee by Chairman Harry F. Byrd iD-Va.i, who sup- Princess' Loye Tarries LONDON UPI) - Robin Doug-las-Home suddenly called off his scheduled visit to Sweden today, touching off speculation that the fairy-lale romance of the former jazz piano player and pretty Princess Margaretha of Sweden may have withered. Douglas Home, 26, who once played a piano in a Mayfair jiight club for a living, was sup posed to leave London today to visit the Princess. There were re ports that the visit would he climaxed by an official announce ment of their engagement. But virtually at the last mo ment, Douglas - Home issued a statement announcing "for reasons which must remain pri vate. I have decided not to visit Sweden in the foreseeable future." ' Almost at the same time, the acting master of the royal house hold in Sweden said the Royal Family had told Douglas-Home not to come to see the Princess because she was ill. The 23 - year - old blue - eyed, blonde Margarctha was suffering from an attack of kidney trouble, an old complaint, according to Miss Rritta Cederstroem, the act ing master. Douglas - Home was to have met Margarctha at the royal summer villa "Solliden" on the island of Oeland, off the Swedish east coast. Douhlas - Home, scion of a noble but not-so-rich British fami ly, has been wooing Margaretha for more than a year. They first met when he was playing the piano in the swank Berkeley Hotel. Then Margaretha was called back to Stockholm. Douglas-Home showered her with letters and flowers and finally asked her grandfather, King Gustav, for her hand. He was turned down. ports the administration's no-tax-cut stand. The Democratic - controlled House Ways & Means Committee tentatively approved the measure Friday despite administration opposition. Dan Throop Smith, special as sistant on lax policy to Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson, protested the measure would grant "selective relief to one group of taxpayers. He estimated the revenue loss at more than 230 million dollars a year. The bill sponsored by Rep. Eugene J. Keogh (D-N.Y.i, would provide special tax relief for farmers, business proprietors, lawyers, dentists, doctors and all other self-employed persons to en able them to build up retirement funds. The theory is that em ployes don't need such relief be cause they haw company pension plans to provide for them, or at least have hopes of getting one. The bill would benefit only those self-employed persons whose in come was large enough to cnanie them to save money for retire ment. It would allow them to de fer payment of income taxes un til the age of 65 on earnings placed in special retirement funds or annuities, taxes likewise would be deferred on earnings of the in vested funds. The maximum on which taxes would be deferred would be fixed at 10 per cent of annual net in come with a top ceiling of $2,500 p. year and a lifetime maximum of $50,000. The minimum annual tax saving would be $2,275 lor persons whose earnings put them in the top 91 per cent tax nracuci Vandal Scars Old Paintings PHILADELPHIA (API - Three Renaissance paintings were scarred at (he Philadelphia Miise um of Art, it was disclosed yes terday.

Levant Faces Divorce Suit HOLLYWOOD l'Pl Oscar Levant, perennial enfant terrible of show business, Saturday faced a divorce suit filed by his wife of iH years. The witty musician whose nat ural talent at the piano has taken him to the door of greatness but never beyond it, was living with Iriends and doing his twice-weekly local television show alone. His wife used to appear with him. June Levant, the former actress June Gale, filed the divorce suit Friday in Santa Monica Superior Court after a family row that brought two carloads of police and charges by Oscar that she tried to kill him with a scissors. She charged Oscar with ex treme cruelty, and sought custody of iheir three daughters and a re straining order keeping Oscar out of their Beverly Hills home. ' Oscar opened his television show Friday night with the quip: Since I last, saw you Tuesday nothing of any great moment has happened. There was something of a slightly personal problem at which the newspapers hinted. I in volved myself for the Republican Party. I did it to get Bernard Goldfine off the front pages." Levant, who never tired of pub licly thanking his wife for putting up with his controversial ways and seeing him through a two-' year period during which he was confined in a menial hospital, from time-to-time alternated be tween sadness and spite on the show. "1 have a prepared statement in answer to my wife's statement that all I have contributed is some nervous breakdowns to the world. I think that's a rather puny estimate of what I've done." But then the 51-year-old icono clast paused and finallv just crumpled the paper containing the statement and remarked: "I'm not interested in vindica lion." Recently Levant said on the program. If June ever left me I'd be headed straight for another breakdown. Levant was alone Saturday and where he was going nobody knew Killer Of Two New Mexico Welfare Children Gives His Reason d DAnm4arl i ujr ncpui itu 85 Property Owners Facing Possible Assessment Hike ALBUQUERQUE IAP "It had long been known there are too many people in the world." a bearded recluse said Irom his hos pital bed. And Thursday, on a quiet street in a quiet town. "It was time for the job." So Norman A. Foose. i", shot and killed two children on the main street of Cuba, N.M., a tiny farming village. "I had to, there was nothing else I could do about it." Foose, a former mental patient, then drove to his camp in the rugged Gallina Mountains 20 miles north of Regina, N.M., where he had prospected for uranium. There, he wounded a pursuing posse member in the shoulder. Rut Friday morning slate police (lushed him from his hiding place, wounding him in the foot before the capture. He was rushed to a hospital here for surgery on his shattered loot and for questioning. He said it is a proven fact lhat there should be no more than 10.000 people in the world. The Counlv Welfare Commission Foose said he had been planning h rr.nl.,j B7n individuals and on aomg someining aoout it ior ,alllili.s rI,0iV(,d uh!ic assistance three years, but admitted that getting rid of the excess would be a big job." He said he had seen neither of the dead children before. They were Arlene Cebada, 12, and her 14-year-old nephew, Eddie Ceba da. But when he saw "it would be so easy. I had to." Is he sorry he killed the chil dren? "No, I'm not. They had to be pulled down." Will he attempt to "gun down" others? "Not with rifles." Why a rifle for Eddie and Ar lene? "Because it was all 1 had with me." Then he tired of the questioning and turned to the interviewer. "You are to stop this right now. Otherwise, I will have to shut you down." The interview ended.

As candles dickered low in the sumptuous ballroom and the last drops of champagne were being rationed out by bewigged foot men, it looked as though a new transatlantic tradition had been born. The ball was organized by prominent French and American socialites after Britain's Queen Elizabeth decided last year to discontinue traditional court pre sentation ceremonies in Bucking ham Palace. Most of Ihe girls had no special escorts, taking turns dancing with the cadets of Saint Cyr, French naval midshipmen, students from the Sorbonne law school and Ihe Polytechnique engineering insti tute and the young elite from French aristocratic families. The American debs were lovely in wide - skirted white formal gowns. The young French ladies wore high-style evening dresses ot every hue. More than l.ooo townspeople gathered around the wrought-iron, gilt - painted gales of the huge stone doorway of the Orangerie Friday night to stare and gasp as tnc tiaraed dens arrived.

Klamath County Board of Equal ization, winding up its final ses sion Friday, announced it has noti fied 85 downtown property owners of changes in their assessed valu ations mosl of them upwards lor fiscal 1958-59. The board said, however, thai none of Ihe boosts among the 85 exceeded 1957-58 assessed valuations. The board acted after studying at length a survey of downtown market values of land prepared gratis at the board s request by the Oregon Stale Tax Commission. In submitting its report to the board several weeks ago, the com mission said: As a result of our study ... we are of the opinion that land values estimated by Ihe county assessor are not a true reflection fo cur rent market values in Ihe business district." Assessor Clyde Caldwell had lowered assessed values from '57. '58 on some downtown land. He admitted later thai his sludy of values had not been thorough because of "shortages of time and help." The Board of Equalization has authority to change Ihe assess ments made by the county as sessor. The board reported Friday that its hikes ranged from a minimum $25 per frontage foot in market value lo $100 per frontage foot on Ihe north side of Main between Seventh and Eighth streets. The av erage boost was $50 per frontage foot, market value. Assessed value is equal to 19 per cent of market value. A few of the county assessor's valuations in the business district were lowered as a result of th state survey, vhile some were left unchanged. The state study in volved land only, not itructures, on which most of the assessor'! valuations remain unchanged. The board received letters from six owners within 'the 85 it noti fied, only one of which definitely protested his boost in assessed valuation. Three persons came be fore the board personally Friday, but to secure information only. Appeals on assessments may be filed with the State Tax Commis sion within 30 days after Friday, July 11. If the commission sus tains the assessment, owners may appeal further to the circuit court. Last month, in another group of actions, the board considered 18 petitions from property owners asking reductions in their assessed valuations as set by the assessor. Of the 18 the hoard lowered six, ranging from $50 to $2,020. GUARANTEED Vacuum Cleaner REPAIRS Specialized Service on all Makes!
