SALEM (API A partisan fight over the House Taxation Commit tee's plan to increase state in come taxes an average of 9.6 per cent probably will occur Satur day when the House considers the committee s tax package. , The committee, abandoning Re publican Gov. Mark Hatfield's proposal for a gross income tax of one per cent plus a rale sched ule of 1 to 7 per cent, voted Thurs day for a 2 to 7 per cent rate schedule. The two Republican committee members present Reps. Victor Atiyeh of Portland and Douglas Heider of Salem opposed the plan. The six Democrats support ed it. Generally, the tax would slight ly reduce taxes for single persons and increase them for married persons with children. The bill would increase the 77 million dollar annual income tax revenue by 5.4 million dollars, and thus give the Legisature the money it needs to balance the budget. But passage of the program is by no means certain. There are some rumblings of discontent in the Senate. , Besides the income tax bill, the oackage includes: a 3 cent a pack age tax on cigarettes and 15 per cent on other tobacco; a Vk per cent on business net income: coupled with repeal of the per sonal property tax on inventories; and a reduction in the tax on capital gains. The income tax bill would re store about 40 per cent of the tax reduction made at the 1957 spe cial session of the Legislature. Personal exemptions would re main at $600. Medical expenses over 5 per cent of income could be deducted, as would charitable, religious and educational contri butions between 3 and 20 per cent of income. But all other deductions, includ ing the one for federal income taxes, would be disallowed. And here is where the bill would raise most of its money. About 400,000 persons would be relieved of filing tax returns. The tax increases in the bill would be progressively greater as income mounts. Atiyek called the bill "only a stop-gap. We're not doing the proper job for the slate for the future." Hcidcr said it is "not broadening the tax base and will force acceptance of a sales tax." The tobacco tax would go into effect SO days after the Legisla ture adjourns provided it isn't attacked by referendum. The people have six times voted against cigarette taxes. Here is the rate schedule for '.he income tax according to amounts of taxable income: OSl.OOO, 2 per cent, with tax ranging from 0 to $20. Si. 000-52,000, 3 per cent, tax from 520 to 550. $2,000-53.500. 4 per cent, tax from $50 to 5110. 53.500-S5.S00. 5 per cent, tax from 5110 to 5210. $5,500-510,000, 6 per cenl, tax ranging from 5210 to 5485. $10,000 and over, 7 per cent, tax over 5485. While the House Tax Commit tee was working up its program both houses waded through heavy calendars. The Senate sent to the governor bills to make all counties call for bids on contracts of more than $1,500, increase the parole board from three to five members, and create an advisory council for the Industrial Accident Commission. The House sent to the Senate a bill to permit persons, whose driver's licenses are suspended or revoked, to keep them while ap pealing to the courts. Security Full-Time Yoe In America's Prisons NEW YORK (AP)-Security is a full-time problem in state peni tentiaries across the nation. So re cent prison outbreaks In Montana and Massachusetts haven't caused too much of a furor elsewhere. Most wardens are loath to ad mit laxities exist. They insist they take full safety precautions. A few admit tightening up their routines because of the outbreaks. At Deer Lodge, Mont., where a rebellion last week resulted in three deaths, a cell-by-cell shake down is being carried out. The search is being made by National Guardsmen still on duty at the penitentiary. Said Warden Floyd E. Powell: "We haven't found too much contraband." ' A new maximum security sec tion is now being built at Walpole State Prison in Massachusetts, where rioting occurred March 7. Wednesday's Massachusetts riot took place at Concord State Re formatory and was quelled in about four hours. "We're naturally more alert for possible riots at a time like this," said the Alabama deputy prisons commissioner, Frank Lee. But he added that all that has beep done there is to alert guard chiefs in dividually at Kilby Prison in Montgomery. Special guard alerts also were reported at the Ohio State Peni tentiary. But Warden Ralph W. Alvis said the effort to tighten se curity within the walls is a con tinuing battle. Policemen Hurt During Visit ROME (API Two police so far are casualties of the British royal visit to Rome. One motorcycle patrolman was hurt in a fall while escorting Princess Margaret sightseeing. Another collided with an automo bile while in the princess' escort to a night club. Queen Mother Elizabeth, visit Ire here with her younger daugh ter, thanked the police for their services. But she asked that they save themselves by taking her and Margaret through Rome's busy streets at slower speeds. Utah State Prison has been un dergoing a general security tight ening since a riot there two years ago. The recent murder of an in mate increased ' the vigilance. A crackdown is under way against narcotics flowing into the prison, prostitutes sneaking into the honor camp, and trusties visiting near by taverns. Missouri Corrections Director James D. Carter and Warden E. V. Nash have kept closer touch with inmate informers since the recent prison outbreaks. Special security precautions were set up there after a 1954 riot. Increased vigilance has been or dered in Florida prisons but the acting prisons director, Robert Gramling, said no specific new security steps have been under taken. A riot at the Arizona State Pris on last Dec. 4 led to increased precautions such as more fre quent searches of cells and in mates. But Warden Frank Eyman added: "My security has always been tight." 6009 ' II mm V M W Graduation?

Prince's Wife To Visit Home TOKYO (AP) - Commoner Princess Michiko, who broke a 2,600-year-old imperial tradition in marrying Crown Prince Akihito, will set another precedent late this month. She's going home to mother briefly. It will be the first time that the consort of a Japanese crown prince or emperor has vis ited her old home after marriage. Imperial household officials said they are arranging for the former Michiko Shoda to visit her family April 27 or 28 for a respite from the heavy round of official cere monies following the wedding. Daniel Boone was so honest he once walked from Missouri to Ken tucky to repay a loan. Luce Post Up To Senate WASHINGTON (AP)-The nom ination of Clare Boolhe Luce as ambassador to Brazil is scheduled to go to the Senate next Monday. The Senate Foreign Relations committee recommended approv al of the nomination Thursday The vote was 16-1. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore, who cast the opposition vote, said he will continue his fight against the nomination on the Senate floor. Morse opposes Mrs. Luce be cause of remarks she made about Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1944 presidential campaign. He also claims she intervened in Italian elections while she was ambassa dor to Rome. , Herter Aide Said Slated For New Post WASHINGTON I API - Under Secretary of State C. Douglas Dil lon reportedly will be named chief assistant to Secretary of State Christian A Herter. He may have much broader duties than anyone who filled such a position in the past. Dillon, 49, is now in charge of foreign economic affairs. In his new position he may be allowed lo continue direct supervisions of the government's multibillion dol lar foreign aid program as well as taking over political problems which Herter formerly handled as chief assistant to John Foster Dulles. The added duties for Dillon are being considered by Herter as part of a reshuffle of top officials. Officials said one shift alredy de cided upon will return career dip lomat Kaymond Hare from Cairo, where he is ambassador to Egypt, to become assistant secretary of state lor the Middle East and South Asia. Robert Murphy, now deputy tin dcr secretary in charge of polit ical affairs, may be promoted to full under secretary to take over Dillon s old job. The assistant secretary for Eu rope, Livingston Merchant, would be promoted to Murphy's old spot. Douglas MacArthur II, now am bassador to Japan, is being men tioned as a replacement for Mer Officials said most of the shifts probably will be delayed until aft er the May 11 Western Big Four foreign ministers meeting.
