    la The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
From Salem this morning:
Senator John D. Hare i Repub
lican, from HiUsboroi said jester
day he will introduce a bill re
ducing the Oregon personal in
come tax by 10 per cent. An
nouncing his intention to the re
porters 'possibly with his tongue
in his check) he said:
"President Kennedy has pro
posed a federal tax cut of $13.5
billion to bolster the national econ
omy, and any tax cut in Orejon
should improve the state's econo
my. If it's good enough for Presi
dent Kennedy, it's good enough
for me."
This suggestion, sir:
Add to vour bill a clause re
murine that for each dollar of
tax reduction there must be
reduction of a dollar in public
SPENDING.
That would make sense.
Now one from Denver:
The Republican-dominated Col
orado legislature completed pav
sage yesterday of a bill cuttin;
state income taxes by 15 per cent
on money earned in 1962. The
bill is expected to reduce state
revenues by around eight million
dollars.
i
Watch it.
If the new law reduces revenue
by $8 million and the legislature
sees to it that total Colorado
spending is reduced by $8 mil
lion, the economy of Colorado
will be strengthened to that ex
tent.
But-
If the Colorado legislature, aft
cr piously reducing revenues by
eight million dollars, turns arouni
and spends TEN million dollars
for something it could have
along without it will be a horse
of another color.
Shenanigans of that sort mere
ly get the taxpayers deeper in-J
the hole.
Hopeful sign of a possible ie
turn to normalcv:
Four Salem police officers were
rushed to Doncy Hall on the
Willamette University campus a'
an early hour this morning when
a noisy group of male students
6tagcd a PANTY RAID on a
women's dormitory.
The crowd scattered as the offi
cers arrived. No arrests were
made, but one student was turned
over to the university dean ol
men after throwing a lighted fir-;-he
should have' been.
Lighted firecrackers have no place
in a panty raid.
Mrs. .Mildred Mead Hall, house
mother at Doney Hall, torn me
police:
"There was no property dam
age, and there were no injuries."
She admitted that "some wom
en's undcrthings" were missing.1

cepted an appeal by West Ger

not to torpedo Common Market
negotiation with Great Britain at
present, French sources said to
duv. they said De Gaulle agreed to
a temporary stay of action to let
the Common Market's executive
committee review the whole ques
tion of Rritain's application for

No time limit was set. but the
sources said the study probably
would take several weeks at
1-iSst.
Adenauer proposed Tuesday
that the commission take an "in
ventory" of all outstanding points
of disagreement hiocking Brit
ain's entry into the six-nation
European grouping.
De Gaulle turned this idea down
on the ground the points already
are well known.
But he did agree to refrain
from causing the talks to col
lapse until the commission has
studied again the whole hasic is
sue of whether Britain should be
accepted as a member of the
Common Market.
De Gaulle has been living In
break oil the talks with Britain
on the ground Bntisn terms are
too much for the six present
members to accept
But the 87car-u!d Adenauer
was in a good position to per
suade the 72 year-o;d De Gaul'.e
to bold off for a while at least
Tuesday they signed a treaty end
ing a centuries-old blood feud be
tween their nations.
The next Common Market talk
are scheduled to be held in Brus

Fire Levels
Ft. Klamath
Gas Station
A Fort Klamath service sla
lion operated by Harold Wimcr
was burned to the ground Tues
day night in a fire that was ap
parently caused by defective wir
ing under the roof. The loss was
estimated at over $15,000. It was
partly covered by insurance.
The Klamath County and Chilo-
quin fire departments battled the
blaze for about three hours, but
were only able to keep the fire
from spreading to a nearby gro
cery store and residence.
Firemen credited the townspeo
ple, who formed a bucket brig
ade, for helping to save the gro
cery store which is located next
to the station. The intense heat
cracked windows in the home on
the other side of the station.
There were about 10 firemen
at the scene and scores of towns-
lcoplc. The residents of Fort
Klamath were a great help and
never interfered with the fire
fighting operations said one of
the firemen.
All of Wimer's tools, two power
saws, a jeep ana a ugnung piani
nere among the equipment lost
the blaze. The cash register
bills and records were saved when
a local resident. Bill Martin, went
into the burning building to get
the cash register. Martin was
not injured, but his jacket was
burned.
A trailer home next to the ga
rage was pulled out minutes oc-
fore the building collapsed. The
building fell on the spot that the
trailer had occupied.
Wimcr was working in the ga
rage on a jeep owned oy siun
Jones at about 10 p.m. and was
unaware of the fire until Jones
eft the building and noticed the
flames. Jones rushed back to
warn Wimer and the men pushed
the jeep from the garage.

SANTA ROSA. Calif. lUPlt -
GOP congressional candidate Don

Final totals from all of the 1st

Constitutional
Explained To
SALEM (DPI i The authors
of a proposed new constitution for
Oregon explained to the legisla
ture Tuesday what one drafter
called "a document that can serve
the state well for the next 100
years.
Members of the Oregon Com
mission on Constitutional Revision
reviewed their product (or two
hours before a joint session of the
Senate and House.
George Layman of Ncwbcrg
chairman of the commission.
urged the legislature to "think in
terms of the whole document.
He said some parts admittedly
have opponents, but he said the
draft offers a basic, modern
framework that can make Ore
gon's state government more ef
ficient and effective.
Two-Thirds Needed
The draft if approved by two-
thirds of the House and of the
Senate would go before the
voters. If approved by the people,
it would replace the present Ore
gon constitution, dratted in 1857,
and amended 11 times over the
past century.
Layman urged the legislature to
submit the document to the people
in its entirety, instead of offering
piecemeal amendments. '
He said the commission took
'more than a scissors and paste-
pot approach," and did not try to
avoid issues, in writing a draft
that is "our best judgment of
what is best for Oregon."
Layman said it maintains three
strong branches of government
each checking the other, but olim
inatcs checks within branches.
An area of controversy arose
over whether the document pro
