The Indian contingents could

While U.N. officials were hope

NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS "The new traffic lights at the intersection of Eleventh

state resident bridge engineer, said. Faulty wiring at the interieet'on on Main Street

rewired before the new lights can be hoolced up. The $4,500 project was directed by
the state at the request of Bob Kyle, city manager. Since it it the itate't responsibility

Negotiations also broke down in
the longest newspaper strike in

Legislative
Asked Of Demo Leaders
SALEM (UPH-Gov. Mark Hat
field appealed to the 13 legisla
ture Tuesday to minimize differ
ences in the interests of tax and
constitutional reform.
Hatfield said he will use his
1961 net receipts tax proposal as
a "point of departure."
"I am most willing to work out
with the legislative leaders a tax
reform bill," he said.
Similarly, Hatfield said he is
willing to set aside his own objec
tions in order to give Oregon a
modern, model constitution. He
commended the draft prepared by
Ihe Oregon Constitutional Revision
Commission during the past two
years, and said he hopes the leg
islature will pass it and refer it
to the people.
The Republican governor held
out the flag of flexibility and ne
gotiation to a Democratic legisla
ture whose own leaders are di
vided over key points in Hatfield';
program.
Called "Gross" Tax
Hatfield's proposal for a net
receipts tax has been termed
"disenchanting" gross receipts
lax by Senate President Ben
Musa, D-The Dalles.
The governor's 1961 proposal
called for a state income tax on
even the smallest incomes, with
rates ranging from one to live
per cent. It eliminated deductions.
The governor spoke at a news
conference, and many of his re
marks dealt with tax reform. He
said he still wants to see a tax
reform program referred to the
voters before the current legisla
ture adjourns.
"It could well be that we face
either a special election or a spe
cial session," Hatfield said. He
1 said he believed an election would
no. less cosuy.
The tax rcforrri problem is com
pounded because the governor
hopes to raise $23 million in new
revenues from a net receipts tax
and $18 million from a cigarette
tax to help pay for his proposed
$405 million general fund budget.
Election Date Open
Hatfield said he could not pin
point a desirable date for a spe
cial election until a tax program
takes shape in the legislature. But

Tuesday night on Gov. Mark Hat

boards of education and higher
education.
Resistance to Ihe idea came
from House Majority Leader Rich
ard Eymann, D-Marcola.
Eymann said in an interview on
stale radio station KOAC he had
'some doubts" about combining
Ihe two boards Into a single
agency.
House Minority Leader F. F.
Montgomery, R-Eugene, took an
opposite view. He said he was
delighted wilh Ihe proposal and
termed It a "step in the right

Montgomery took Issue with

in this field. He said when the
Bolshevists took power. Russia
was economically far behind other
European countries and the Unit
ed Slates.
'Today the Soviet Union is a
socialist great power that has long
overtaken the other European
countries in llie level of its indus
trial production and is already
treading on the heels of such a
mighty capitalist country as the
United Males, he said.
Khrushchev clearly disappointed
his East German audience by his
treatment of the Wesl Berlin
problem and by the fact he ob
viously has put it on ice for the
time being. He paid lip service
to the idea of a German peace
treaty but made It clear he would
take no steps against the Western
posilion.
He said Ihe posilion of Com
munist East Germany had been
greatly strengthened in the mean
time, particularly by construction
of llie wall between West and
East Berlin.

he said it should be held "at a
point in the session where the
legislature could then take subse
quent action" if the voters turn
the plan down.
On current financing of state
operations, Hatfield conceded a
question has been raised about
Ihe legality of transferring $5 mil
lion from the veterans fund to the
general fund to help pay for slate
operations between now and the
end of the current biennium in
June.
He said he understands the leg

Without the money, Oregon
faces sharp cutbacks in services
in the coming months.
On other topics, Hatfield said:

in setting their own pay.

Murder Penalty
Bills Pledged
SALEM (UPI) - One bill to
abolish the death penalty in Ore
gon and another to stiffen murder
terms were promised today by
two Democratic senators.
Sen. Don Willner, D - Portland,
said he will introduce a constitu
tional amendment to end the
death penalty. It also would re
quire persons sentenced to life lo
lay in prison at least 15 years.
But he said the Interest in a
German peace treaty has not
let up.
Speaking in quiet, sometimes
almost professorial tones. Khrush
chev declared that "as long as a
German peace Ireity has not been
signed it obviously will he difficult
lo expect serious progress towards
concluding a disarmament agree
ment." Most of the latter part of his
speech was devoted to blasting
Red China for It! belief that war
w ith Ihe West is inevitable. How
ever, he did not once mention
China by name but directed hi!
attacks instead against Peking'!
tiny European satellite Albania
a favorite Soviet bloc ruse.
Khrushchev made these other
main points:
The United Slates no longe'
has the edge over Russia in nu
clear power or missiles, but East
West differences can only be set
tled by peaceful mean! and not
by nuclear world war.
