By FRANK JENKINS Red China discloses that anti- communist Chinese are fighting be side Tibetan rebels and admits that revolt is istill seething in the Himalayan kingdom. Peiping radio claims that the uprising has been crushed in the area of Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, and says Red troops are "now pro ceeding successfully to put down the armed rebellion in other places."' ' e How? ' . - - By, shooting down the Tibetan rebels who want only to live their own lives in their own way. -It's Hungary all over again. "Nobody can make me believe such a system will succeed forever. Communism is so foul that in time it must fall of the weight f its own foulness. - That's enough about communism. ' Let's turn to a pleasanter sub ject that is closer home. With 13 weeks behind it and an other two or three weeks to go, Democratic leadership in the Ore gon legislature thinks it may be within sight of its goal. ' That goal, it is announced, is to balance the budget with NO NEW TAXES or, at worst, with only a tmall increase. -The joint ways and means com mittee, Salem dispatches tell us, may announce in another week a budget close to 300 million dollars. At that figure, the house taxation committee might find it possible to recommend that Oregon s in come tax rates stay-where they are. 'Let's put it this way: " Oregon must either spend less or earn more. To earn more, Oregon must bring in new industries in order to have more to tax more new plants to pay property tax, more new corporations to pay corpora tion income tax, more new employ ees to pay taxes on their incomes and property taxes on their homes There must be more to tax, in order to spread the load. : If Oregon permits its taxes to get TOO HIGH, it will scare off the new industries Oregon needs. - That's about the long and the bort of it.

From gold, we went to cattle. From cattle, went to saw timber. - We must take another step. .From saw timber and sawmills, we must go to FIBER and fiber industries. Our saw timber. was expendable. When it was cut out, the mills moved on. That was 'a TEMPORARY economy.

This stockpile of potatoes bought for livestock feed by Jack McFall and others,. Bonanza, has been dumped over the edge of the market road between Malin and Bonanza near Harpole Dam on Lost River.

Informants said the proposal provided for splitting up the test suspension problem. It was ad vanced as the three-power talks resumed after an Easter recess. First Soviet reaction was re ported to be negative. , Under the new Western plan. agreement would be reached at once on banning surface and atomic nuclear tests the ones which cause dangerous - radioac tive fallout, ..,'! Such an agreement would not cover very high altitude and un derground atomic and hydrogen weapons blasts: ouch explosions difficult to police in any event could be covered in some subse quent agreement reached after the first problem had been solved. U.S. Ambassador James J. Wadsworth and British Minister of State David Ormsby-Gore pro posed dividing the nuclear prob lem into two parts with the idea of getting quick agreement on the types of tests easiest to detect. The ending of such tests also would minimize any health hazards to the world's population. The sources pointed out that the United States and Britain would , prefer an agreement covering the entire range of tests. But the Western powers recognized . that this conference, which began its deliberations on Oct. 31, now was bogged down on East-West differ ences about controls. Presumably the limited agree ment now suggested as a first step would require less elaborate policing arrangements than a to tal ban. The Western powers, how ever, want foolproof controls built into any type of agreement they sign. The plan would ban an tests at or near ground level, which cause dangerous fallout. It would permit high altitude and deep under ground blasts, which Western ex perts contend produce no harmful results. Western officials were hopeful their new formula might help soft en the Soviet Union's adamant stand against a veto-free inspec tion system to police the proposed agreement banning nuclear tests.
