Budget, Finance Chief
Problem Of
(Editors note: United Press In
ternational nked the president
designate of the Senate and the
speaker-designate of the House to
comment on the 13 session
which begins Jan. 14. This is the
second of two dispatches.)
Written for United Press
International
By HEP. CLAKKNCE BABTON
Speaker-Designate
52nd Legislative Assembly
By one venutre of a doubt, t h e
chief problem for the 1963 Legis
lature is budgeting and finance.
It cannot be otherwise. Oregon
during the past decade and
longer has been operating by
deficit financing. With one excep
tion during this period of time,
the state has spent more than it
has raised in taxes.
This situation arose through sur
pluses accumulated during World
War II and when state services
were at an extremely low level.
After the war, as the service-
level rose, taxes were held at
their existing levels, and slowly
the surplus was depleted.
By 1955 fear arose that the sur
plus and taxes would not meet
expenses of the next biennium
Consequently the 1955 Legislature
enacted the surtax, revenue from
which far exceeded expectations,
resulting in a bigger surplus than
ever. The I9o7 Legislature conse
quently repealed the surtax.
The state has since been eating
into this post-surtax surplus. Serv
ices have been at an ever-higher
level while statistics show Oregon
taxes per capita are on the low
side, per $1,000 income, among
the 13 western slates.
We have been able to have
these low slate taxes and high
slate services only because of the
surplus.
The surplus is now gone.
The 1963 Legislature Is thus
faced with this problem: If we
meet Gov. Mark Hatfield's pro
posed expenditures, we must raise
at least $55 million over and above
present taxes, hy way of increas
ing income taxes and addition of
cigarette tax, as the governor
suggests.
This means if we accept Gov
ernor llallield s expenanurcs,
stale taxes w ill go up roughly $211
million a year.
The people of Oregon must
make up their mind what they
want: The present services and
ihc higher hill that goes witli
them, or a decrease in services
and the present level of taxes.
A second major concern of the
1963 Legislature may be constitu
tional revision.
The Constitutional Revision
Commission has labored long and
hard. I know legislators w ill want
to lake a good look at the docu
ment which (lie commission sug

Skybolt Not
Big Success,
Says Report
WASHINGTON (UPD-Thc test
of the controversial Skybolt mis
sile above Cape Canaveral, Fla.,
last Saturday was considerably
less than the big success claimed
lor It, informed sources said Sat
urday. According to reports, the air-
to-ground missile would have
missed ils target by approximate
ly 100 miles if it had actually
come down. Actually it burned up
at a high altitude because it car
ried no nose cone to protect it on
re-entry into the earth's atmos
phere. The Air Force announcement of
he successful test was released
without prior Defense Department
approval of the statement, it was
learned.
The Air Force statement was
niade public under a ruic permit
ting the military services to make
announcements independently in
the field, without Defense Depart,
ment clearance, except, in cases
wnere tne lnlormation might at
tract unusual news media atten
tion." The Skybolt announcement,
coming on the heels of President
Kennedy's decision to cancel the
program, is now considered to
have fallen clearly in the
ception category.
Rpports Saturday were that the
missile was to have flown 890
miles but actually travelled 990
miles.
The military services custom
arily describe a test such as this
one as a success if it provides in
formation sought in a particular
experiment. But this does not al
ways mean that a missile hit a
target.
The Air Force said it was re-
checking telemetry dala for pre
cise figures on the perlormance.
Deputy Defense Secretary Ros-
v ell Gitpatrie said following Sat
urday's test that it was a suc
cess. But he said it was the first
uccess in six firings and did not
prove the Mtyholt couln achieve
tile accuracy demanded in mod
em missilrv.
The Skybolt. whose development
is being abandoned by the Defense
Department, is designed to be
od with a nuclear warhead fi-om
bomber to hit a target I.00U
miles away.

Novelist Disowns His
Daughter, Adopts Son
NICE, FRANCE (UPI I - Novel
ist Somerset Maugham, 88, has
disowned his daughter, denied he
was her father, and adopted his
ecrctary as his son, it was dis
losed Friday.
An examination of court records
here showed the millionaire Brit
ish author has started an action
against the daughter. Elizabeth,
47, wile of Lord John Hope, for
the return (it all gilts to her, es
timated at several hundred thou
sand dollars.
Maugham's secretary, Alan
Searle, 52, said he expected his
hare of Mar ham's will to be
'i'i the region of half a million
pounds." '$1.4 million'.
Searle has worked tor Maugham
(or 33 years. Lady John Hope
wile of a former minister ol
works in Ihc Conservative govern
ment. refused to comment or
Maugham's court action.
Maugham, who lives near Nice
in a villa at Cap Ferrat, said in
his declaration to the court: "I
always considered her as my
daughter, but legally she is Ihe
daughter of Henry Wellcome. She
was born in 1915. Wellcome never
denied paternity."
Lady John Hope's mother. Sy
ne Hcrnaixio, was married in
Wellcome bclorc divorcing him
and marrying Maugham
Maugham claims Lady John Hope
was conceived before the divorce.
Maugham's statement said he
never legally recognized her as
his daughter.
1 would have continued to re
gard her as my daughter, hut 1
want to remind her that she is
not my legitimate child, iind 1
can revoke all the gilts I gave
her." he said.
Apparently the immediate cause
of Maugham's action is the cur
