Policeman Ncal Tone touched off the shouting when he attempt ed to halt an automobile on High way .10 some 11 miles west of Pendleton at about 9 p.m. Tone said the driver refused to stop and continued to weave back and forth across the road. A short time later the car ran olf the highway into a stubble field. Tone went to check the car and found an empty pistol holster in the driver's seat. Other officers were summoned. As they search ed the field, a shot rang out and a bullet hit Tone's police car. As the officer closed in on the area where the shot came from, another shot was fired. Police said they found the youth had shot himself in the head. He was taken to a Pendleton hospital where his condition was reported early this morning as critical.

I -1 task of trying fo rebate all the pennies collected on purchases of clothing, groceries and other mail items. Us Legislature is going into the ltth straight month of wrangling while, as one newspaper said last week, proposals for new taxes wait around the chamber like cx oi ic perfume. It seems and it is ridicu lous that bankruptcy threatens Michigan. This is one of the wealthiest and fastest growing states in the nation. It has the huge automotive industry, magnif icent forests and mineral deposits, a big agricultural industry. Why, then is Michigan broke? The answer boils down to a no- quarter struggle between the Re publican controller1 Legislature with the support of industry and Democratic Gov. G. Mennen Wil liams, a millionaire with the backing of the United Automobile Workers Union. Williams has been governor for six consecutive two-year terms and the Republicans have ruled Ihe Legislature tho?e 12 years. In all that time, they have never reached a satisfactory, long-range Ux program, although stale ex penses mounted rapidly. To understand Michigan s prob lem, certain facts must be slated. The stale is constitutionally pro hibited from borrowing more than $250,000 although even its towns can float bonds and go into debt by 2 million dollars or more. Thus, while other slates can and do borrow to meet current needs, Michigan cannot. Much of its revenue is ear marked to more than 40 special funds which cannot be used for general slate expenses. It has no state income tax. Its main reve nue conies from a 3 per cent sales tax. Rut in 104S legislation was passed that out of every six cents collected on the sales tax, 4 cents had to go to the schools and one cent to local governments. That lelt only 1-6 for the state. This is not Ihe first crisis by any means. Past shortages have been met by such expedients as a new tax on liquor and one on cigarettes. -Now, more patchwork tax legislation is in prospect by Ihe Legislature. One likely action is the seizure ol the veterans' trust fund of 40 million dollars to pay olf bills This lund has been used only to the extent of loans of about $1,500,000 a year to veterans and Ihe argument is that those can lie handled by a special appropri ation. Another idea is a new $10 "one shot" tax on every automobile owner in Michigan. With 3.500.000 cars that would bring in 35 mil lion dollars. The state got a had jolt last month. Another of its expedients was raising the sales tax from 3 per cent to 4 per cent and calling the extra one per cent a use tax. The stale Supreme Court declared it illegal on a strictly partisan 5 Democrats nnd 3 Republicans basis and an anticipated in come of 110 million dollars was lost. Now there fs much political scurrying to put referendum! on the ballot in the November 10 election to fit party strategy. The Republicans propose to ask a constitutional change to boost the sales lax to 4 per cent. The UAW over the week end countered that it would ask ap proval of a terrific excess prolit tax which would tke 25 per cent ol corporate income over per cent. With General Motors record earnings lor Ihe first 9 months ol this year, the annual tax on that company alone would put Michi gan in the black. Williams says that is all very well, hut he needs 110 million dol lars now. The public hasn't had t h e cnancc to say much of anything but a visit here makes it evident the people are disgusted. Several editors at a United Press Inter national meeting in Grand Rapids agreed a lot of people' would like to toss out the entire Legislature Democrats and Republicans alike, plus Ihe governor and start with a clean slate. dennis the menace; jfrrpfary of Treasury Puts Across New Policy i i J J ic known r 11 'PlfMSf, DENNIS! All I WAUX TO OO IS GST fID Of THAT SILiy COWIICK' Uprising Enters 6th Year; Terrorist Attacks Kill Four ALGIERS AP) The Algerian nationalist rebellion against French rule began its sixth year Sunday with the usual daily hit-and-run terrorism and French mil itary operations in the mist shrouded mountains. Terrorist attacks killed 4 persons- and wounded 3!) at various points in the North African terri tory. Military casualties were not announced. But Ihe daily average, according to French figures, is about 80 rebels killed or captured, and 10 killed and 50 wounded in the French forces. The long (or peace was great among Algeria's one million Euro peans and nine million Moslems. But peace seemed far away in the atmosphere of suspicion, fear and despair. Rebels struck in bands and in dividually in Algiers and other cities Sunday. Terrorists threw bombs and gre nades into cafes and crowded streets, let loose with machinegun fire, derailed a train 25 miles south of Algiers and cut high ten sion wires near Sidi Aissa. A vil lage chief was kidnaped and killed near Ain-Temouchent.

A few days later. a tractor pulled the vessel over the bar into Ihe bay. Sause and the other two men were plotting a course to bring the ship over the bar at Ihe nexl high tide. They were in a 22-lnol bar tender for this work. The boat's motor failed and they began drifting toward the breakers. They threw out a sea anchor, but the line had not been lastened properly. The boat was sucked into the breakers and raked back and forth across the bar. Sause said it overturned 15 times in Ihe high waves. He managed to hold on un lil the boat got close to the spit Tnen Ihe waves washed him to shore.

Anderson, the quiet man who is secretary of the Treasury, has quietly brought about a hard-eyed reappraisal of the U.S. foreign aid program. Just as important, he has put across a new policy designed to insure that a bigger proportion of U.S. loans to underdeveloped countries are spent in the United States. Working behind the scenes, An derson won administration backing (or these major policy moves without touching off an acrimoni ous public debata. His performance has solidified the widespread impression here that he is the most influential member of President Eisenhow er's Cabinet. While the secretary's aides take pains to point out that Eisenhow er made the decisions and the new policies are administration poli cies, .naerson was me arcnitect He acted because he felt some changes might be made in the aid program that would help stem the outflow of gold and dollars from the United States.

They say it represents a lurn ing away from this country's lib eral trade policy and may encour age protectionist forces. Anderson does not see himself as a protectionist but as an inter nationalist. He believes the pay ments deficit itself would strength en protectionist forces if it is not curbed. To the plain-spoken, mild-mannered Texan, the new develop ment loan policy makes plain horse sense at a time when this country is losing dollars. An aide, echoing Anderson's views, said: "What if we provide cash for a country and say, 'go buy yourself a power plant in West Germany.1 Would we be helping that country or West Germany, which doesn't need any help?" In dollars and cents the new policy is unlikely to have a pro found effect soon. From Ander son's point of view, this may not be too important. The secretary has always em phasized the importance of con fidence, which often can be in fluenced as much by psychology as by measurable developments. In one sense, the new loan policy is known to helleva ct. I that Anderson would make a fit. cccssor in me mine nouse. international payments, will reach' is a psychological move. It is in- four billion dollars this year. Since trade produces a surplus, all of this- deficit results from military spending abroad, foreign aid and private investment overseas. As the Treasury chief, it is An derson's job to watch this deficit critics because it inevitably affects the ment stability of the dollar. Critics say that the benefits to be gained from tying development tended to show the world that Ihe United States will take any action necessary to maintain confidence in the dollar. This in itself could help inspire confidence. though Anderson's aren't buying this argu- secking a balance because otner wise, he believes, people would lose confidence in the govern ment's fiscal responsibility. In his advocacy of conservative fiscal policies and his almost mystical preoccupation with con fidence, Anderson perhaps is dis playing two sides of his personali ty. The secretary is both a business man and an amateur poet, and perhaps looks more the poet. Tall, gangling and bespectacled, he walks with a slight limp which dates from a childhood polio at tack. No desk pounder, he speaks softly and sometimes rambles in a fashion that belies his success in influencing high policy. Anderson, now 40, was the $,-0O0-a-ycar manager of the Wag goner Ranch in Texas belore com ing here, a Democrat for Eisen hower, as secretary of the Navy in 1053. Alter moving up to deputy secretary of defense, he left in 11155 to become president of en- tures Ltd., a Canadian mine hold ing company. In July 1057 he was back as secretary of the Treasury this time as a registered Republican.
