H.ITCRAFT As e approach the third month of the 52nd session of the Oregon Legislature, there is some indica tion now as to the direction to be taken by the House Taxation Committee. U is pretty well established that Oregon taxpayers will lose their major "deduction." This is the $430,000,000 in income taxes paid to the federal government. According to the experts in the State Tax Commission this is the logical first step to be taken if income taxes are to be increased. ble the tax on beer and wine and the bill to tax domestic insur ance companies appear to have little chance of being approved by the House Tax Committee, ac cording to some members of the committee The chances that property tax payers will get any significant relief out of this session of the legislature appear to be very slim. There is a possibility that some "indirect" relief may come via an increase in basic school support funds, but the chances of any major increase being ap 1 I...

In spite of his bidding South was an expert card player. Unfor tunately, he was also a hand hog. Otherwise, he would have let his partner wrap up three no-trump. I cashed my king and ace of hearts. My partner had opened the three, dropped Ihe deuce on the second lead and I knew he was ready to ruff. It was also apparent that unless my partner held the king of clubs declarer would have the rest of Hie tricks, but if my partner held that card declarer would have to guess between a club and a diamond finesse. South and West knew all about suit preference signals so I could play the ten of hearts to ask for a diamond return or the five to ask for a club return. I decided that South was In a mood to play me for a double cross so 1 carefully placed the ten of hearts on the table. My partner ruffed and led back a diamond as 1 had asked. South glared at me for a while and finally remarked. "That was too obvious. You can't have the king of diamonds." Then he played the jack from dummy and another game contract had bit the dust.

Answer Tomorrow gree of certainty how much rev enue any state tax measure will produce for the simple reason that they have no control over the actions of Ihe congress. If congress raises federal income taxes. Oregon's state income tax revenue decreases since the tax payers have a larger deduction. Conversely, if federal income tax es are decreased, then Oregon in come taxes increase automatical ly. The elimination, then, of this deduction would seem to provide lenls faclnK thls session.

In addition to the fact that ways and means is not in an "in crease the appropriation" mood, there is the problem of distribu tion. The present formula is not especially pleasing to either Mult nomah Countv or to Eastern Ore gon. These representatives are not ardent supporters of increased appropriations unless there is some change in the method of distribution of the education funds. With all of the other prob- money a given tax measure will produce. Proponents of this change point oul that although the elimination of this deduction will increase Ihe amount of taxes that each of us will have to pay to the slate, the effect on many tax payers will be modified by the fact that our federal income tax es will be reduced as long as tne congress permits us to include i! state income taxes paid in our list of itemized deductions.

U.S. Supremacy Said 'Shaken' TOKYO (UPD Communist China claimed today that United States leadership of the West has been "greatly shaken" and the Western alliance is disintegrating. Red Flag, Ihe leading theoreti cal journal of the ruling Chinese Communist Party, said an "un precedented grave crisis of a bad split" has developed among the Western Allies. 3-9 "They only give loans on car that have motors!" 3.6 Billion Fatalities Predicted In Next War CAPE CANAVERAL (UPD - A U. S. science leader said today that man will run the risk of killing 3.6 billion people in a single conflict within the next 100 years unless he changes nis warring ways. The figure is close to Ihe pre sent world population. The statis tical office of U. N. on July 1, 1961, estimated world popula tion at 3.060.800.0(10. Dr. I. A. Getting, president of Aerospace Corp., said in an ad dress prepared for a group of the nation's top scientists and tech nicians that "both the intensity Clay Report Raps U.S. Foreign Policy and magnitude of conflicts are rising." Getting cited charts of the "terrible carnage" of past wars which in this century alone, have killed 42.5 million people. "Thus." he said, "we are led lo predict that by the first half of the next Century mankind, if it follows the precedent of past years, would experience one war that would account for some 3.6 billion deaths." WASHINGTON d'Pl'-A presi-i dential commission headed by Gen. Lucius Clay has dratted a' report sharply critical of some U S. foreign aid policies, informed sources said lodav. The report is scheduled lo be laid before President Kennedy when he returns from Costa Rica Wednesday and probably will be made public later in the week. It has already stirred some controversy among administration officials, some of whom appear under the impression it is against foreign aid." It is the kind of report that may be read by some as an at tack on the aid program, and by others as a strong defense of it," one official said. The report is said to recom mend no immediate major reduc tion in the $4.9 billion foreign aid hill pending before Congress. But it is understood to challenge cer tain aid programs and in general to call for distribution of U.S. as sistancc on more "hard headed" economic and military grounds But Rep. Otto E. Passman. D- La., chairman of the House for eign aid appropriations subcom mittee, said the report would be meaningless" unless it recom mended an over-all cut exceeding the average reduction usually made by Congress. This would be about $850 million. However, last year's slash was a deeper $1 bil lion.
