la Th-
Bay's Sews
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington this morning
President Kennedy, confessing
a sense of FRUSTRATION in his
efforts to get the U.S. economy
going full blast, argued anew
yesterday for MASSIVE tax cuts
to touch off a chain reaction of
consumer spending and business
investment.
In his annual economic report
to congress, he said notable gains
were made in 1962, and "the out
look for continued moderate ex
pansion in 1963 is now favorable
But rapid economic growth can
not take place until "'the unrea-
listically heavy burden of taxa
tion is lightened."
He then added:
"The state of the economy pos
es a perplexing challenge to the
American people .... and it is
frustrating indeed to see the job
less rate stand still at 5.6 per
tent of the work force."
Well, it is perplexing.
And President Kennedy can
hardly be blamed if he feels a
little frustrated about it all.
'- But it might help to clear up
his state of frustration if he would
take a look at it in this light:
The unrealistically heavy bur
den of taxation that is slowing
down our economy can't be light
ened until our government quits
spending so much money AND
PUTTING THE BULK OF IT ON
THE CUFF.
As long as the national debt
keeps on rising and rising and
rising and no steps are taken to
bring it down, the people are go
ing to be fearful of the future
lor long experience tells them
that when debt GETS PILED TOO
HIGH bad trouble is pretty sure
to follow.
Something to think about:
The world's skyrocketing popu
lation is expected to DOUBLE
by the year 1980 and to be trebled
by the year 2.000, when it is ex
pected to . reach a total of SIX
BILLIONS. This bit of information
is contained in a report just is
sued by the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Na
tions. And. the publication adds, from
there on the world's population is
expected to keep on going up in
huge multiples every year.
Every cloud is supposed to
have a silver lining.
In this case, let's hope that as
a result of the swiftly burgeoning
population of the world Ihe United
Slates of America will finally find
an outlet for its fantastic stores
of food that presently seem to
hang like a dark thundercloud
over the markets of the future.

Adenauer, De Gaulle Sign
Mutual
PARIS lUPli-French President:
Charles de Gaulle and West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
today signed a treaty pledging co
operation between the two nations
that have fought three major wars
in the last 100 years.
The historic document provides
that the heads of the two nations
will meet at least every six
months, that their ministers of for
eign affairs and defense will con
sult frequently, and that they will j
exchange troops and training fa
cilities for joint maneuvers.
The treaty is in line with De

Pearson Poses Change
In Compensation Plan
SALEM lUPD - Sen. Walter
Pearson today introduced his own
workmen's compensation bill that
would let private insurance firms
into the field.
It also would completely revamp
Oregon's workmen's compensation
procedures.
"I believe it is a model work
men s compensation law. Pear
son said, "one that will be of
benefit to all workers in Oregon,
and fair to both workers and
employers."
The bill, drafted at Pearson'sl
request, was introduced by t h e
Senate Labor and Industries Com
mittee which Pearson heads.
Pearson said he also expects his
committee lo introduce an alter
nate workmen's compensation pro
posal being drafted after recom
mendations of a special gover
nor's advisory committee.
Lalior terms the Pearson pro
posal a "three-way" bill, similar
to Ihe one that labor fought a
holding action against in 1931 . The
term "three-way" refers lo tin?
three ways of insuring by the
state, by self-insurance, and by
private insurance.
Labor's objection centers on the
private insurance aspect. A labor
pokesman today said private
firms would be able lo cream off
the good accounts, raising stale
costs for Ihe more hazardous ac
counts. The proposal by the special gov
ernor's committee, tentatively en
dorsed by labor, would only let
private firms write rc-insurancc.
Pearson termed it "rather limi
ted, a one and seven-eighths"
bill.
A Portland insurance man.
Pearson said his firm "does not
write insurance of this type."
Pearson said his new bill. SB30.
differs in one significant feature
from two years ago. He said it
provides for a state group to su
pcrvise all claims, including those
covered by private policies.
"The important thing." Pear
son said of his 157-mimengraphcd
page bill, "is that claims will be
paid properly in accordance with
benefits prescribed by law. Some

Adenauer told De Gaulle, ac
cording to German sources, that
West Germany still believes Brit
ish membership in the Common
Market is desirable.
German sources said there are
"strong hopes" that Adenauer per
suaded the French leader that the
Brussels situation is critical and
that an open breach must be
avoided.
The German sources said Ade
nauer and De Gaulle also dis
cussed France's rejection of Pres

Adenauer was in a favored po
sition lo exert pressure on De

an historic reconciliation of their
nations traditional enemies whose
quarrels have drenched Europe
and the world in bloody wars dat

French Foreign Office spokes

treaty was not aimed at any
other nation.
"On the contrary, it must be
regarded as the first, indispensa
ble step leading toward the unity
of Europe for which both sides
hope," he said.
The treaty will be submitted to
both national parliaments for rat
ification. It wilt be accompanied
by a joint statement hy the two
leaders.

To Amend Salary Plan
SALEM (UP1) An amended
legislators' pay bill was approved
in a 10-4 split vote Monday by
tlie Joint Ways and Means Com
mittee. The bill calls for a $3,000 an
nual salary, to be paid $230
monthly, and $20 daily expenses
bile the legislature is in session.
The bill was amended to limit the
daily expense pay to not more
than 120 days.

Sen. L. W. Newbry. R-Ashland;
Rep. Stafford Hansell, R-Hermis-ton:
and Rep. George C. Flitcraft,

The joint Senate House com
mittee then voted unanimously for
$1,225,000 appropriation to fi
nance tlie legislature through June
30, and switched legislative ap
propriation dates to match the
biennium dates, rather than calen-

The date change produces a
$300,000 "paper saving," mov
ing the expenditure to the next

Pay Cut Fails
Moves to limit the daily ex
pense to $13, and to cut legisla
tors pay to $130 a month failed
to win committee approval.
Rep. John Mosser, D-Beaverton,
nicccssfully moved for the 120
day limit on expenses.
Sen. Al Flegel, D - Roseburg,
urged adoption of tlie new pay
bill, and said "it is not an ex
orbitant amount."
Ren. Shirley Field, R-Portland,
urged the $20 a day expense be1
limited lo 100 days, and said such
a limit would be "an incentive to
hasten decisions."
Sen. Alfred Corbett. D-Portland
explained the limit might work
against "full consideration" of
legislation, although he said
did not oppose such a limit.
Banks Offer
Compromise
SALEM I UPII National
hanks offered to compromise with
the state of Oregon Monday in a
tax feud involving about $1 mil
lion a year.
R. R. Bullivant told the Senate
Tax Committee the banks would
accept a seven per cent corpor
ate excise tax retroactive to 1957,
That is two per cent less than
the slate is trying to collect, but
one per cent more than the banks
have heretofore Indicated they are;
willing to pay. The dispute is cur
rently before the courts.
The controversy involves the six
per cent corporate lax levied
against other corporations. The
banks say under a federal law
they cannot be taxed at a higher
rate.
The state says, however, the
other corporations pay other tax
es, such as the personal property
tax, not levied against banks.
Bullivant said the national
hanks would be willing to settle
for the seven per cent rate, let-
ling the one per cent differential
balance personal property taxes
paid by oilier corporations.
Some members of the commit
tee, however, appeared cool to the
proposal. A bill already has been
introduced in the House aimed at
helping tlie state maintain the
nine per cent rate.
