CSV.'' .10. 'J In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Over on the other side of the fence, in California. Governor Brown wanted a withholding tax as a device to raise more money in the seemingly least painful way. The California legislature refused to give it to him. Yesterday he indicated that he will be willing to "retreat" from the withholding tax plan if the legislature "at a special session to be called to begin on July 81 ' presents him with "alternate fi nancing methods which will achieve long range budget solu-J lions." Meaning if the legislature will levy OTHER TAXES TO GIVE HIM AS MUCH MONEY AS HE WANTS TO SPEND. What is a withholding tax? This is how it works: Withholding lakes it out of the paycheck meaning that on each payday the employer w ithholds a certain amount from the em ployee's wages and turns the amount withheld over to the gov ernment. That HURTS. So The recipients of paychecks de mand an INCREASE so that their take-home pay may be the same as it was before which seems quite logical and as it (should be. But- There's a catch to it. The increased wage ' to give the employee as much take-home pay as he had before the with holding started i increases the employer's COSTS. So Having had his costs increased, the employer is compelled to raise Jiis prices. Whereupon the em ployee, when he begins to put two and two together, discovers that while his TAKE HOME pay (after his wage increase) is the same as it used to be before the withholding rigmarole started his KEEP AT HOME pay is consider-j ably reduced by higher prices for the tilings he has to buy. So- He has to jump his employer for ANOTHER pay increase so that his KEEP AT HOME pay may remain equal to what it used to be. That starts the whole vi cious circle all over again. It's the old story of the kitten chasing its tail. The kitten is doomed to eternal disappointment because the faster it moves the (aster its tail moves. The remedy if any? Well, it would help if govern ment would SPEND LESS. If government didn't spend so much, it wouldn't have to TAX so much. Plane Fares May Be Cut NEW YORK UPI Airline travelers willing to forego meals and some other amenities soon would be able to fly to Hawaii and Europe for one - third less than the current cost under a plan announced Wednesday by Pan American World Airways. The proposed fare for a one-way transatlantic crossing would be $160. a reduction of $103 from the current economy price. The "thrift" class fare from California to Hawaii would be $100 as com fiarcd with the present $133. The new rates to Hawaii is sub ject to approval by the Civil Aero nautics Board. The transatlantic rates would require approval by other interested carriers and their governments, since j respective they would routes. ir,i.rn.iiinn.i : FLOAT THEME SET BY PP&L Animated circut enimaU, performing at the com. mnrJ of circus ringmaster Reddy Kilowatt, will set a gy theme for the Klamath Falls Pacific Power and Light Company I float to be entered ...L:.L :. ,...mr4 bv tne , 1: L. .n.infl m nan Mnn nrnwn nr rrt this year will be along Eiplanadt Avenue instead of along Lake Creamery.

Navy Warning ABOARD THE USS FORT SNELLING AT SEA lUPD-Four ships, three of them Russian, sailed Ihroughjthe search area for the missing submarine Thresher during the past five days despite a U.S. Navy warning to all ves sels to steer clear of the area, the Navy disclosed today. The Navy disclosure came as the bathyscaph Trieste was read ied for its third dive to the ocean bottom in an effort to find the Thresher which sank April 10 with 129 men aboard. The Navy said it served notice to all ships to remain out of an area in a 25-mile radius from the,Passcd 1',3 mi'es flom the marker I point where the nuclear powered submarine disappeared. The Navy said two foreign ves sels, one Russian and the other Irish Hearts Captured By Kennedy DUBLIN tUPD-The Ryans and all the folks back home took John F. Kennedy to their hearts today. President Kennedy left the af fairs of state behind and went calling on his relations in south eastern Ireland, inviting some of them to come see him at the White House. They said they would. In a relaxed and happy mood. the President toured the home lands of his ancestors by helicop ter, car and on foot. He visited the old family home stead, traded quips with many a smiling Irishman, and grinned happily at the cheers and shout ed greetings of "God bless you, Jack," from the thousands who welcomed him on his sentimen tal journey to the Emerald Isle. He conferred first this morn ine in Dublin with Irish Premier Sean Lemass. Then he went by helicopter to New Ross, where his great-grandfather sailed f o r America 113 years ago. Alter that, he journeyed by car to Dunganstown and tea with his sec ond cousin once removed, and a family reunion with kinfolk near and distant. Then again by heli copter to Wexford to lay a wreath at the foot ot a statue oi Commodore John Barry, a native son of Ireland and father of the U.S. Navy.

The other two ships, both Rus sian, sailed into the area Sunday ana Monday.

The Trieste, prowling the ocean bottom 8.400 feet below the sur face, made sonar contact Wednes day with a 60-foot long unidenti fied object. The contact came in an area where pictures were taken previ ously of debris believed from the sunken $45 million submarine. Three separate magnetic contacts also were made recently in this location some 220 miles of Mas sachusetts" Cape Cod.

THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1063 ace, here as ha Noble, raised on a ranch in cial effort was being made to get more Negroes working on federal construction sites in craftsmen's jobs. Most Are Laborers Surveys of 47 major projects show that Negroes usually held laborers jobs on construction sites built with federal funds. Wirtz said. Of 7.7115 workers on the sites, 1,399 were Negroes and all but 316 were laborers. The skilled journeymen included 5,658 whites and 300 Negroes, he said Wirtz said 10 per cent of Ne- Erocs in the labor force were un- emoloyed comoared with hall that ratio for whites. This results part- ly because Negroes have fewer skills and arc easily displaced by automation advances, lie noted. m,. ., h.Ki. , ,.,. .""ZJl"''.,: ent shortage of jobs in the econ- omy for all workers, the labor serrotarv said. "It will be a hollow victory if we get the 'whites only signs down, only to find 'no vacancies' signs behind them, he said. Another cause of Negro woes is 'unquestionably" their less ade quate preparation and training for better jobs, he added. A third reason he listed as the "harsh, ugly fact of discrimination." Jitters Hit State Body SALEM (UPI i-A case of jitters racked Oregon's civil delense agency today as tne deadline neared for a decision on whether federal matching funds would be provided. Only seven of the agency's 18 member staff were still on the job. The others have either quit or have been laid off because of tlie cutback ordered by the 11163 legislature. The legislature cut the agency to a Uiree-member coordinating staff attached to live governor's oil ice. Federal officials said they would not provide matching funds so three additional staffers could be hired. Then they indicated they might change tlioir mind.
