Although there is talk of a sales tax on the part of some of the legislators, there is simply not enough sentiment from the "folks back home" to evidence any grass roots support. Members of the House Taxation Committee have received few, if any, letters re questing a sales tax.) In most instances, those citizens who apieared before the commit tee indicated that the groups they represented will support the Icgis lature in a state tax increase if the basic school support is also increased. Some even went so far as to indicate that they would support a sales tax, if there was a substantial increase in basic sup port with a corresponding reduc tion in property taxes. An Increase of state taxes, then, will serve as an ol'fset to local taxes. It may not actually de crease your property taxes, but certainly, basic school support funds collected through an In crease in income taxes and re turned lo the counties will at least reduce the size of the local prop erty tax burden. Reduced to its simplest terms then, is this fact: If the slate legislature does not increase slate taxation amounts, local property taxes will have to be materially increased in or der to meet the needs of an ever growing school population. The second controversial bill in the House Education Committee Inst week was introduced by Bop. Hansell from Umatilla County. His proposal would change the dis tribution formula for basic school support funds in that O and C counties would receive less sup port than presently. Among those visiting the capitol last week were Clyde E. Brown, Ray Hunsaker, Mrs. George Proctor and Robert Veatch, Klamath Falls; Linda Jcssup and Bonnie Taylor (honor ary pages), Gilchrist, and a large group ot railroad people V V j I:.

Implementaion is Soviets Levy Spy Charge MOSCOW (UPI) - A Soviet Army lieutenant colonel unwitting ly passed false military informa tion to a U.S. agent for months before he was caught and ap parently sentenced to death, the government newspaper Izvestia said tonight. Izvestia said Hie Soviet Army man, identified only as "Lt. Col. P.," had been working with Rus- scl A. Langcllc, a former security officer of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, who was expelled from Hie U.S.S.R. on spy charges in October, 1S59. The government journal, in the last of a pair of articles outlining how "P" allegedly had fallen into the clutches of American intelli gence, said the would-be Soviet spy had aroused suspicion because of his unusual interest in matters outside his normal line of work. After thai." Izvestia said, "the information that P. was trying to collect was fabricated and put stealthily under his arms. By giv ing it to the Americans, P., with out knowing it, misled them." Western sources said the Izves tia scries might be a prelude to trial of British businessman Grevillc Wynne and Olcg Penkov sky, a high Soviet scientific offi cial. Both are charged with spying and their trial is expected shortly The U.S. Embassy had no com ment on the Izvestia report. The United States said in 1930 Langcllc had been seized by So viet agents who tried to pressure him into spying for them.

School Aid Split Eyed By Barton SALEM lUPIt House Speak er Clarence Barton toc!ay dis agreed with Gov. Mark Hatfield over the issue of federal aid for Oregon's schools. Barton wants it; Hatfield doesn't. Barton said congressmen should contact educators, not the gover nor, to determine the slate's feel ings on the need for federal school aid. Hatfield recently told Rep. Sam M. Gibbons, D-Fla., a member of the House Education and Labor Committee which is considering President Kennedy's omnibus fed eral education bill, that he did not feel Oregon wanted federal school aid. "I don't think the governor speaks for the majority of the people on this question," Barton said. Barton pointed to Oregon's ba sic school support program whsre some "have" areas share with "have not" areas. "Federal aid is designed lo do the same thing at the federal level," he said. "Oregon is a colonial state. If it were not for federal grants all our money would go to Detroit or to the California oil fields. 'There is a place for federal aid in Oregon's school program." Barton said he expected the leg islature's "blackjack" tax bill now would be tabled because Washing ton Gov. Albert D. Roselhni has signed a bill permitting the state to enter reciprocal agreements covering industrial injuries. The agreement is for use where the employment contract is made in one state and the work performed in another. Oregon officials asked Washing ton to pass the bill, and drafted a "blackjack" measure to tax out-of-state workers when it ap peared that the Washington Legis lature might not honor the re quest. Senate President Ben M u s a termed "doubtful" the chances of highway bond issue proposals now before the legislature. He said the highway bond program has been successful, however, and had helped force the highway commis sion to consider "grass rqot de mands for highway improvements, Musa also said he would oppose an increase in the gasoline tax at the present time. j Vj , ' 1 l !

Kath erine Musa, D-The Dalles. The bill is co-authored by Sen. Harry Boivin. D-Klamath Falls, and 14 representatives and two senators. It calls for the governor to es tablish the camps to provide edu cational and vocational opportun ities for eligible boys on "conser vation activities on public lands." Any boy 14 to 19 could apply to the Department of Education for enrollment. Participating boys could be ex cused from compulsory education provisions, but the governor would be required to have the camps equipped with facilities necessary or the boys academic education, as well as vocational education. The proposal calls for a $50,- 000 appropriation. The feenate today received a measure recommended by tlie Committee on Education which would abolish all rural school dis trict boards. Intermediate education districts would be established to replace the rui'al school districts. The county superintendent would be the executive officer or interme diate education district boards Grand Jury Opens Probes The Klamath County grand jury met Tuesday for the first time since it recessed last Feb. 6, after returning a number of true bills and secret indictments, a spokes man for the circuit court has re ported.

"Jrroing the fnfiff Mamalh Poin' LINDA JIMENEZ Linda Seeks Queen Title By RUTH KING The "old ones" were wise in the ways of the sun and the) moon and the giving of names to the young in those days when the tribes were close to nature. They named the small ones for the twittering birds in the trees or the soft furry young of the rock rabbits, or for a future brave one. they gave a name from the wind or Hie staunch rock be side a creek. Thus came the name "Little Quail" for a tribal grandmother and it was handed down to a granddaughter, Linda Jimenez. who again this year hopes to be called queen of the 1963 All-Indian Invitational National Basketball Tournament in Chiloquin March 21, 22, 23. In the Klamath lan-s guage "Little Quail" is thus . . . Stu-Stut-Nocks. Linda, born at Klamath Agency Aug. 29, 1943, will put on a cap and gown and graduate this spring from Klamath Union High School. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Modesto Jimenez of Klamath Falls. Her great-grcat-grcat-grandfathcr was Chief Pom pey of the Klamath Tribe. She draws "a lot" anything that comes to mind, likes to write let ters, plays the accordion, swims, water skis, roller skates and bowls . . . loves to gather V'ocus pods and to pick huckleberries. She was a princess in the courl of Queen Charlcne McNoise last year. The pretty candidate confided that she wore her hair short, that women in tlie "old days" cut their hair only when in mourn ing so she borrowed the long thick black braids of her mother's, and wound them into her head band to wear over her shoulders. The queen's ball will be Sat- ruday. March 16. at Chiloquin. Credit Card Trial Jury Selected The trial of Leonard Mackev, 37 charged with lorgery involving a service station credit card opened with the selection of j jury and testimony from two prin. cipal witnesses, Monday, in u,, circuit court of Judge David R Vandenberg. Mackey, currently servins a one-year sentence for petit lar. ceny to winch lie pled guilty last fall, is accused of obtaining a tire valued at $25 from Voungren'i Shell Service Station, 101 River- irip street, alter nmumin. - r.-..s g Shell Oil Company credit card to an attendant of the station, last April 22. The owner of the credit card, Hayward L. Roland, a Weyer haeuser timekeeper employed at Camp 14, and Tom Bates, 830 Riverside Street, the service sta tion attendant who completed the transaction with Mackey, wer present in court Monday and ra tified for the state. Roland told the jury that h lost his wallet containing the cred it card after being at a local theatre and restaurant during the evening of Oct. 28. The follow ing day, Roland said he reported the loss to local police and the oil company. According to testimony from Bates, Mackey, accompanied by three others, drove into Young rcn's station about six months later and presented the card to the attendant for the purchase of the tire. Mackey then signed Ro land's name to the invoice as the purchaser of the item. Later during the trial, Bill Dock- cry. 128 South Carroll blreet, an other employe of the station, re lated that he had been on duly with Bates on April 22 and estab lished that the tire purchase had been made by Mackey that day. The trial resumed Tuesday in Judge Vandenberg's court. Last spring, Mackey was arrest ed on a charge of petit larceny but soon after he escaped while leaving the city hall in the custody of city police. He was apprehend ed by Sacramento police on a charge of vagrancy in August and was held for the Klamath County Sheriff's Office. After his arrest, Mackey attempted to flee from Sacramento police but an alert deputy thwarted the escape.
