adjusting our income tax struc
ture. 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

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.

this in writing to the new Syrian
government the revolutionary
group took over in a coup las'
week and declared sympathy w ith
United Arab Republic President
Gamal Abdel Nasser.
As il did in the case of a sim
ilar pro-Nasser revolt in Iraq in
February, the U. S. announcement
extended "best wishes for success
and pioperily" of the new Syrian
regime.

President Elmo Stevenson of
Southern Oregon College reviewed
a plan to enlarge the Ashland
campus to 133 acres from the
present 79 and add buildings to
accommodale 4,000 to 6,000 stu
dents by 1972. SOC now has 1,
832 students.
The board will consider the
plan further at its June meeting.
Chancellor Roy Lieuallen rec
ommended bonds covering these
self-liquidating projects:
Two Oregon State University
dormitories; dining and kitchen
facilities and a dorm at Southern
Oregon College; an 11-story dor
mitory for 808 students at the
University of Oregon: a dormitory
for 170 women students at the
Portland medical and dental
schools, and 202 units of married
housing at Oregon.
Approval was given to a five
story library for Portland State.
It eventually will rise to 11 stor
ies. ' '
Some board members wondered
if the state is unduly competing
with private industry in married
student housing. James Jensen,
president of Oregon State, and he
felt some university . sponsored
housing was needed but that
"we prefer not to be in the real
estate business if community
housing is adequate."
In other action, the board:
. . .Approved preliminary plans
for a $46,000 radioactive isotope
laboratory at Oregon Technical In
stitute in Klamath Falls. It was
told the structure will be located
apart from other buildings.
. . .Approved basic studies for a
$510,000 addition to the University
of Oregon music building.
. . .Approved Oregon State Uni
versity purchase for $30,000 of the
80-acre Averill Farm, which has
been leased by OSU for-about 30
years.
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.

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 . . .

She was a princess in the courl
of Queen Charlcne McNoise last
year.

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

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

Mackey attempted to flee from
Sacramento police but an alert
deputy thwarted the escape.
In October, he entered a plea
of guilty to the larceny charge
and was sentenced by Judge Van
denberg to serve one year in the
county jail.
