WALL STREET
NEW YORK (UPI) - Stocks
leveled out and began to rally
today.
Apparently a groundswell of
good business and economic news
over the past few days turned the
tide and brought buyers out of
hiding after a market correction
of 25 points in the past seven
sessions.
The firet blue chips to develop
bis gains on the comeback were
Du Pont and Chrysler. Many oth
er heavyweights inched forward
fractions. Small gums also pre.
dominated in the general list.
IBM rose more than 2 and Pan-
handle, Xerox, U.S. Smelting, Su
crest, Hornestaice Mining, and
RCA gained around a point or
more. Electric Storage Battery,
American Distilling, Edison Bros.
Stores and Borden were the few
issues to show sizable losses.

Cooperation Shortens
Legislative Session
SALEM (UPI) -Legislative
leaders today predicted at least
two weeks will be shaved off the
196.1 session because of coopera.
tion between the House and Sen
ate on the tax program.
House Speaker Clarence Barton,
D-Coquille, said he feels "the
house is way ahead" this session.
He added "the committee work
is very good. That's where the
work is being done."
Senate President Ben Musa said
he had revised his estimate of a
150 day session down to 120 days.
Barton explained that in 1957
the tax bill did not leave the
House until April 29, and did not
get final passage until May 16. In
1959 the tax bill left the House
Feb. 11, but did not get final
passage until the first week in
May.
Barton predicted that because of
the close cooperation between the
House and Senate this session on
the tax program, the tax bill
would not be bottled up in t h e
Senate.
He lashed out at state agencies
which lie termed "lax about
getting tlieir bills in."
"A lot of them will be left
hooting down the rain barrel," he
said.
"They have two years to pre
pare bills. There's no excuse for
submitting them at the last
minute." 1
Barton cited Die tax commis
sion as an example of a coopera-
tive agency. All tax commission
bills were introduced the fust day
of the session.
Musa agreed thai work was
progressing smoolluy.
Musa said that through Thurs

day afternoon, Senate committees

ale and House measures under

"The way to judge this legisla
ture is not by how many bills it
passes, but by the bad bills it
does not pass, Musa said.
He scored "sharpsnooting
cracks by the minority" as "very
unfortunate, snide remarks based
on misinformation." and said he
was very pleased at progress
being made.
Musa said Saturday sessions of
the Senate can be expected this

Gerrymander
School Plan
Given Nod
(Continued from Page 1)
filed as of 10 a.m. Friday, but
the association agreed they would
continue to carry out the required
steps to put the gerrymander
plan before the people for a vote
and would attempt to defeat the
single county-wide unit if the pe
titions are filed.
Enabling legislation would be
required to implement the gerry
mander plan, but a bill has al
ready been introduced in the
state legislature by Rep. Carrol
Howe that would enable the re
moval of county unit territory
i into a city school district.
Under the present law it would
be impossible for any part of the
county school district to be added
to Elementary District 1.
If Howe's bill passes, the gerry
mander plan will be presented to
the people in Klamath County for
a vote.
In order for the plan to pass
there must be majorities in the
city school district, the county
school district and in the com
bined areas in which Die boundary
changes are to take place.
This would mean that the
people in the Stewart - Lenox,
Weyerhaeuser area would vote
with the people in the south sub
urbs as a single area.
The plan would also entail a
division of assets. The associa
tion didn't discuss this in detail
Thursday night, but Cliff Robin
son, county school superintendent,
said now that tlicre has been a
meeting of minds on the larger
issue it shouldn't be hard to
come to an equitable agreement
on the assets.
Harry Fredricks, chairman,
Klamath Falls Citkens Commit
tee, said his group could not give
whole hearted support to the ger
rymander plan, but they wouldn't
try to block it.
Fredricks said the committee
stili favors a metro-county reor
ganization plan with equalization.
The school boards association
failed to come lo an agreement
on this plan at their meeting on
Feb. 21.
Ben Adair, speaking for the
Klamath County Citizens Commit
tee, said his group definitely fa
vored the gerrymander plan, but
indicated again that the county
residents would vigorously fight
a single district plan.

Moderate Income Tax
Seen By Legislators
SALEM (UPI) A moderate
income tax route will be taken
this year as the way out of Ore
gon's immediate tax troubles, 14
members of the house and senate
tax committees indicated Thurs
day night.
In an informal' expression o f
opinion, most nt the nine
representatives and 5 senators
said they are not in the mood
for anything drastic.
Nine of the 14 rejected a sales
tax.
They indicated a broader 1 n-
come tax base may well be ac
companied by a cigarette tax, a
speedup in payment of withhold
ing taxes, a tax on property
sales, modified capital gains pro
visions, and perhas one or two
smaller revenue raising items.
The joint meeting, with only two
senators absent, was held for the
two committees to get together
on tax policy as tliey try to raise
some $29-4!) million to finance a
$385-405 million general fund budg
et for 1965. The final figure de
pends on the legislature's success
in budget-cutting.
AM the tax revenue bills are in
the house committee.

House Fire
Burns Father
Duffy Adams, 24, of Dorris is
in critical condition in Klamath
Valley Hospital following a fire
Thursday night, Feb. 28, in the
family's trailer home. He is an
employe of the United California
Bank of Dorris.
According to reports, burns ex
tend over much of his body.
Full details of the fire which
broke out from an undetermined
ource after the family retired
are lacking due to condition of
Adams, who apparently discov.
ered the fire. Mrs. Adams has
been unable to explain what hap
pened. The couple has two young chil
dren, a daughter, Traci, 3 years
old, and a son, Doug, 1. Ap
parently Mrs. Adams took the son
from the burning trailer and her
husband, the daughter. Unoffi
cial reports say he believed the
boy to still have been inside and
returned to get him.
He then walked barefoot for
help.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Eddie Adams of Tulelake.

taxes. But most of those who did
Indicated the final product will
broaden the tax base to pick up
new taxpayers, and perhaps ad.
just rates, but without far-reaching
changes in the present per.
sonal income tax laus.
They indicated the compromise
will contain features of the mod
erate Musa plan and the gover
nor's more radical net receipts
plan.
The committee m e m b e r ,
prodded by Sen. Waller Pearson',
D-Portland, dwelt at length on
the property tax burden in Ore
gon. Pearson, one of two sales tax
champions present from the sen
ate side, said it was time for Ore
gon to turn to a third tax base,
the sales tax, to relieve local
property taxpayers without over
burdening income taxpayers.
Nearly all the members agreed
the property tax load is Oregon's
major tax challenge. But they dis
agreed violently on what to do
about it.
"I am not sure we should settle
this this session," said Senate Tax
Chairman Boyd Overhulse, D .
Madras. He said it was not the
legislature's job t o "lead t h a
people like Moses."
"What efforts we have made
along this line have failed miser
ably," he said. He said he favored
approaching the current problem
from the point of view of a com
promise between the Musa plan
and the net receipts plan:
Proposals for self-employed per
sons to pay estimated taxes, and
for higher beer and wine taxes
drew mixed reactions. There was
some opposition to taxing do
mestic insurance firms or utility
trailers.
The State Tax Commission gave
its estimates of the amounts of
new revenue each plan would
raise for the biennium, in millions
of dollars:
Net receipts income tax, 31.
Musa income tax, 13.
Mosser income tax, 40.
Cigarette tax, 18.
Sales tax with food, 152.
Sales tax without food, 128.
Monthly withholding (one shot.
7.5.
Self-employed (one shot), 5.
Modified capital gains, 2.
Beer-wine, 3.
Domestic insurance, 1.8.
Property transfers, 0.9.
Utility trailers, 0.5.
