In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS On Tuesday of last week, the wneat farmers of the United States went to the polls in a na tional referendum election and rejected a new and tighter feder al production control plan for their crop by a vote of 547,151 FOR and 596.943 AGAINST. The vote was 47 per cent for and 53 per cent against the pro posal. But that doesii t tell ine whole story. Under the terms of the referendum, approval by at least two-thirds of those voting would have been required to put the proposed new program into ef-feet. In Oregon, six Eastern Oregon counties where wheat is the ma jor crop voted in favor of the new and tighter program. It lost m all the other Oregon coun ties. In Klamath county, the pro gram received a favorable vote of only u.2 per cent of those voting. In Oregon as a whole, yMie the wheat growers voted '..132 against the plan and 4,637 in favor. In the state of Wash ington, the vote of the wheat growers was 6.976 for and 8,012 against. Why this decisive rejection? This thought occurs: The wheat growers must have got tired of being hired NOT to produce wheat. Then Of course- There is the fantastic surplus that has been accumulated a surplus that filled all the ware houses and then overflowed into receptacles such as empty and idle ships. Not to mention the building of fabulous numbers of new warehouses. It must have become obvious to a very large number of grow ers that this huge surplus tend ed to hang over the wheat mar kets of the future like a dark thundercloud. This thought must have been in their minds: What would hap pen to the wheat markets if the government should suddenly de cide to throw this vast surplus on the market for what it would bring? That couldn't have been a pleasant thought especially in view of the rather obvious fact that the New Frontier has come definitely to the conclusion that its political future lies in the big overgrown cities and that it no loncer needs, the Xarm vote lo slay in power. . Lei's get back to the tourist Industry. Here are some figures that may surprise you: : ' During the 1962 tourist sea- ton. 9.225.378 out of state visitors came to Oregon in 2.804.660 au tomobiles. That's a little bet ter than FIVE TIMES the pop ulation of Oregon. And- While here They spent an average of $20 45 per day per car. Forty-three per cent of them came from Cal iforniaand so must have passed through Southern Oregon twice, once on the way up and again on the way back. This is the point: If we could have stopped all of these California cars twice once on the way up and once on the way back it would have meant the addition of nearly FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS to our Southern Oregon economy.

The first shaft, left, was built in 1 943. It was 44 feet high and six feet square at the base. It was constructed of plywood and all the materials and labor were donated by patriotic and veterans groups and civic minded residents. The shaft was actually built around a power pole and de signed in the shape of an obelisk to resemble the Wash ington Monument. The committee responsible for the construction consisted of Coleman O'Louqhlin, William A. Canton and Lois Stewart. The new shaft, right, built in 1 952, was made of native stone with an Arizona sand stone platform. The tablet is inscribed, "We Here Highly Kesolve lhat Ihese Uea d Shall Not Have Died in Vain." The total cost of the shaft was $6,000 collected from vol untary contributions from county organizations. The Toast masters Club spoke at various meetings soliciting funds for the shaft and the Elks Club contributed the largest sum, $2,500, Feet Frozen On Everest KATMANDU.

"I have sore feel but I'm get ting home soon and maybe it's all for the best," L'nsoeld told his wife Jolene as she waited anxi ously al the embassy in Katman du. Bihop asked his wife Lila to meet the helicopter when it re turns to Katmandu and to bring sandals for their frostbitten feet. Fellow climber Dr. David Ding man told the wives in the same radio transmission that "both men are going to be all right." Both wives had been waiting here for tlieir husbands.

Sen. Glen Stadler, D Eugene, proposed accepting a net receipts measure very similar to the one rejected by the Senate Tax Committee. It was not known whether the full Senate would accept the pro posed compromise. If it is rejected by the Senate, another conference committee would have to be appointed. - The package is expected to win easy approval in the House. The full package includes a 4- cent a pack cigarette tax, with S3 million to go to cities. A one shot speedup of withholding tax collections would be held for emergency use. Other features of the tentative compromise arc: Revision of the stale capital gains law to eliminate the re invest in Oregon feature, and with 5 per cent maximum tax on gain. Increasing the corporate ex cise tax I pet cent on net earn ings in excess of $25,000. A flat $20 exemption and de pendency credit. A 5 per cent medical deduc tion with no top limit. A 5 per cent optional standard deduction. A modified net receipts tax, exempting the first $500. then ap plying a 1 per cent tax on in come up lo $16.0011, and 1 1-2 per cent on income over $IB,000, with fractional rates of from 1 to 6 per cent. Sen. Donald Husband, R-Eu-gene, apparently was ready to agree to the proposal. House conferees Richard Ey mann. D - Warcola, and F. F. Montgomery. R-Eugenc, agreed to the Senate compromise, though Montgomery said he was not happy with the plan to increase corporate excise taxes. The conference battle began May 10 after the House refused to accept Senate amendments which 6truck the net receipts feature from the House-originated income tax measure. The first conference committee deadlocked on May 21 when Rap. Victor Miyeh. R-Portland, said he could not abandon the cigaretto and net receipts tax proposals. Other committee members includ ed Sen. Boyd Ovcrhulse, D-llad-ras, Sen. Robert Elfstrom, R Salem. and Eymann who is the only holdover on the present committee. When the second committee met Eymann pushed for adoption of the pure net receipts bill urged by Gov. Mark Hatfield a bill which never got out of the House Taxation Committee. The first major break came Thursday when Stadler and Hus band said the Senate might ac cept a cigarette tax as part of a package. He wanted some of the money turned over to cities, and the House-favored one-shot speed up of withholding tax collections held back for emergency use, and a graduated rate structure.

It provides for a public defend er at the stab; level to give le gal assistance to convicted per sons. His primary work would be postconviction and appeal cases. He also could study and report on whether there is a need for a broader public defender system throughout the slate. The U. S. Supreme Court ear lier this year broadened tlie range of cases where an indigent ac cused person must be provided with legal help. More precise lines are yet to be drawn. The House passed and sent to Ihe Senate one of the bigger state budgets: $108.7 million (or public welfare. It includes $41.9 million from the state. $13.8 million from counties, and $49 8 million In fed eral money. The House also passed and sent lo tlie Senate a bill that would let the Slate Industrial Accident Commission reduce already pub lished employer rates by about $8 million next year. The sum represents the benefit increase that Injured workmen would have received If a "three way" bill overhauling the state's workmen's compensation law had passed. The SIAC issued Its rates on schedule May 1 on the premise the bill would pass. The measure, however, appears dead in the House Labor and Industries Com mittee.
