PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 31. 19)58 Ship Wallows On Shoal OCEAN CITV, Md. (AP)-Both section of Libcrian tanker. which broke in two off the Atlan tic coast, wallowed today on the shoal where she apparently went aground. Forty-five crewmen of the 500 foot African Queen were whisked to. safety by helicopter over surg ing seas Tuesday 10 miles east southeast of this resort city. Some of the oil the 13.600-ton ship was bringing from Venezuela to Paulsboro, N.J., was highly ex plosive but the only casualty was a crewman who suffered a bump on the head. "I knew the situation was des perate." said the Norwegian skip per, Capt. Kia Danielsen, a tall, ruddy-faced veteran of 27 years at sea. "I was afraid at any minute the ship would catch fire. We stopped all smoking, shut down the boilers and put out the lights. "Luckily, the ship broke ahead of the midships section. If it had been further astern, there would have been casualties. Danielsen, 43, and his chief of ficer Joreen Joreensen, 47, stayed aboard for a time after the crew was saved. Then they were taken off by boat. - Minutes after the tanker flashed distress signal, a Navy plane found her. Nine helicopters flew in. The fast-paced rescue opera tion was directed by the Coast Guard. CaDt. Danielsen made no men tlon of what might have caused the vessel to break up or why she was so near the shoreline. State Fair Reports Loss SALEM (AP) The Oregon State Fair reported ' Tuesday that it lost $53,158 in the fiscal year ended Dec. 1. It blamed most of the loss on financing improve ments for the future. The Fair Commission reported expenses of $595,118, and $541,960 in revenues.. The revenues include SIB4.764 from horse racing and $121,886 from gate admissions. "Subsequent fairs will profit," the commission said, "What was basically inadequate was made usable and ; workable. What was desperately needed was construct ed. What had been shabby, dull and uninviting was freshened up and brightened up and made ap pealing." The commission reported that ' higher premiums led to the larg est livestock exiblts in history. Major improvements, it said, included the remodeled Jtiflior Exhibit Building, new picnic area. new roads and sewer lines, and . an additional 600 chairs for the night revue,1 ' ' ' " H NEWtMD OF DRAMA TIC ADVENTURE HAS BEEN COLOR by DE LUXE ' ClNBtviAScOPe ERROL FLYNN JULIETTE GRECO TREVOR HOWARD EDDIE ALBERT mm mi mnwm'2wr?-f?'

State Legislators Agree California Tax Hike Due SACRAMENTO (UPI) - Most California legislators agreed today it probably will be necessary to vote new or higher state taxes. Faced with a deficit that may amount to as much as 250 million dollars, a majority of members of the Assembly and Senate feel a tax increase is unavoidable. A United Press International poll of the 120 members, made a few days before the crucial 1953 session convenes Jan. 5, indicated a new tax on tobacco is a dis tinct possibility. Increases also may be voted in liquor, beer, horse racing, personal income and bank corporation and fran chise taxes. The UPI poll posed 50 questions to the lawmakers. On only one was there too per cent agreement. That was "do you see any chance of a major tax reduction?" Not a single one of the 70-odd legislators who replied to the ques tionnaire gave a "yes" answer to the question. Driver Clubs Boa Constrictor PORTLAND (AP) The big snake reared out of the truck load of bananas and looked driver Her gert right in the eye. Hergert looked, too, but not for long. He grabbed a club, chased the five-foot-long snake through the big van and killed it. The snake appeared to be a boa constrictor. Hergert had brought the 15,000 pounds of bananas here from Seattle. MOVE SLATED SALEM (AP)-The state De partment of Motor Vehicles will begin moving Wednesday from its quarters in the capitol group to a new building in North Salem. The move is expected to take through next Sunday. CELEBRATE & NEW YEARS EVE pTEj y. Laf itte Tk REUNITING THE TWO k y TOWERING ANTAGONISTS OF H' rx "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS." by less I. lasky, Ir. and Berenice Mask A ENDS "Are you dreaming. Jim?" was the response of Sen. Hugh Burns, Senate president pro tempore. By a ratio of better than -l the lawmakers said they feel it will be necessary to levy new or higher taxes hi 1959. By an al most Identical ratio, they said they will vote for a tobacco tax and indicated a 3-cent levy on each pack of cigarettes as the probable amount. Assemblyman Don A. Allen Sr. (D-Los Angeles) summed up the legislators' feelings about what will be the most important Issue in the session by saying: "Taxes, taxes, taxes!'.' Allen said ne feels the stats should vote a 6-cent cigarette tax and split the proceeds with the state keeping 4 cents, cities get ting a penny and counties a pen ny of the new revenue. The legislators were asked If they favored taking the 150 mil lion dollar tidelands oil royalties fund and using it to help offset the expected deficit; This question provoked an almost even division of opinion with the dissenters say ing the tidelands money should be spent for water development and not dissipated by paying day to day costs of government. By a 3-1 vote, the legislators said they opposed any effort to lower or repeal the property tax exemption now granted war vet- e r a n s. However, Assemblyman Harold K. Levering (R-Los Angeles)- said he thought the exemp tion should be limited to. a fixed period of time after which "vet erans would cease to be veterans and become citizens and pay taxes along with the rest of the citi zens." A final question in the field of taxation and revenue was whether the lawmakers would favor legal ized gambling or a state lottery as a means of generating new rev enue. - Only 10 of the 70 legislators who answered the poll said they would vote for such a proposal.
