REMODELING STARTS A machine begins preliminary digging work for the re
modeling of the post office building here which will see the structure's walls expanded.
Work on the project started late last week with the clearing of trees and shrubs. The
$883,280 prime contract for the job, expected to take a year and a half, was
awarded to the Work Saver Body Company of Seattle. This digging machine was
rented from a local company.

(Congress Support Rising For Tax Cut
By FRANK JENKINS '
Defense Secretary McNamara,
who seems to have a pretty good
head on his shoulders, told the
U.S. Senate this morning that
the United Slates, with TENS OF
THOUSANDS of atomic war
heads, is MANIFESTLY SUPE
RIOR to Russia in nuclear power
and would run little risk in rati
fying the test ban treaty.
He added:
"The limited lest ban would
SLOW Soviet nuclear progress
and PROLONG U.S. nuclear superiority."
Why?
It's a bit technical.
But here is the gist
argument:
of his
Russia's lead in the MON
STERS resulted from Amer
icas CONSIDERED DECISION
against concentrating on such
bombs. He said "horror weapons"
of the 100 megaton (100 million
tons of TNT) type, which Russia
can develop, have doubtful mili
tary utility compared to the
smaller megaton weapons which
the - U.S. can launch now with
precision and in vast numbers.
He put it this way:
We just don't think the mon
sters are THE THING. They are
too unwieldy, for one tiling. (If
your enemy had nothing but a
cannon and you had plenty of
men with rifles, his armament
would be so unwieldy that you
could pick him off and get rid
of him before he could get his
huge cannon into action.)
It was for that reason, he said,
that we turned down the " idea
of monster bombs. We think our
immensely greater number of
smaller bombs are more- efficient.
The members of the Senale are
reported to have listened with
close attention to Secretary Mc
Namara's testimony.
From armament, let's turn to
inflation.
Brazil has been having plenty
of inflation trouble.
Why?
Well, the Brazilian government
spent TOO MUCH and taxed TOO
LITTLE. When a government
spends too much and taxes too
little, inflation follows in the
course of time.
It cot pretty bad in Brazil.
It got so bad, in fact, that the
Brazilians had trouble finding
places to carry their paper mon
ey. At lirst, tne nispatcnes ten
us. thev solved the problem by
using brief cases instead of wal
lets. That took care ol tne siiu
ation for a while.
But. as more and more money
was printed by the Brazilian gov
ernment (in order to have some
thing to pay its bills with' even
the brief cases got too small. So
the people took to carrying their
money around in bundles wrapped
up in newspapers.
Then
Somebody up at the top had a
brilliant idea,
.lust print bills in BIGGER
DENOMINATION'S. That doesn't
lake any more paper. It doesn't
take any more ink. Just make the
FIGURES bigger. Thus, instead
of having to carry around sacks
full of little bills the people will
have only one BIG bill to bother
with.
Isn't government finance wonderful?

Boat Mishap
WASHINGTON (UPI Presi
dent Kennedy's new tax-cutting
formula drew a much more en
thusiastic response from congres
sional Democrats today than the
original plan be presented last
Januiry.
The revised plan was outlined
Monday to the House Ways &
Means Committee by Treasury
Secretary Douglas Dill.. It
would take ellect next Jan. 1,
and nrovide net tax reductions
of $10 6 billion for individuals and
corporations with the relief
staged over two vears.
Compared with Kennedy's orig
inal $10.3 billion tax-cutting pro
gram, the new plan would pro
vide slightly more total tax re
lief and more would go to in
dividuals and less to corpora
tions.
But its chief political attraction
was that it was burdened with
fewer of the tax-tightening pro
visions that made Kennedy's orig
inal nlan so controversial.
Reduces Rate Cuts
To compensate for this revenue
loss, the new plan would provide
reductions averaging only 20 per
cent in individual tax rates, com
pared with 23.3 per cent in the
original plan.
The initial response of influ
ential committee Democrats was
so favorable thai it seemed pos
sible the committee might ap
prove the new plan with only rel
ative minor tailoring, if it de
cided lo vote for tax cuts of $10
billion or more. But that was a (revisions in lax structure to less
big "if."
The magnitude of the tax re
duction was the big issue still
undecided as the committee sum
moned Dillon for a second dav
of qjestioning behind closed
doors. The committee was not
expected lo begin voting on the
proposed rate cuts belore Thurs
day. Main Features
The main features of the re
vised plan
Individual tax rales would
range from 14 to 70 per cent in
stead of the present 20-91 per
cent schedule originally recom
mended by the administration.
The lowest rate of 14 per cent
would apply to the first $3U0 in
taxable income of the single per
son and the first $1,000 of tax
able income of married persons
with joint returns. The top rate
of 70 per cent would apply to all
taxable income in excess of $100,-
000 for single persons ($200,000
for married couple filing jointly)
Taxes on corporation income
in excess of $25,000 would be re
duced from the present 52 per
cent to 48 iper cent. That com
pares with the 47 per cent rate
which the administration initially
proposed. The tax rate on the
first $25,000 of corporate earnings
would be lowered to 23 per cent
from the present 30 per cent. The
administration originally pro
posed a 22 per cent levy.

To Get Federal Funds
than one-third of the $3.3 billion
originally advocated. So far as
individuals are concerend, the re
vised plan called for adoption of
only two major structural
changes which have not already
won committee approval. All of
t h e committee voted changes
were accepted by the administra
tion. One of the two additional re
visions it recommended would
provide a new "minimum stan
dard deduction" under which
many families with low incomes
would be able to claim deduc
tions in excess of the present 10
per cent standard. This would
provide ta savings of $310 mil
lion for such taxiwyers. The
other additional chance would
gain $370 million in new revenue
by repealing ' the preference in
tax rates on income from stock
dividends in excess of $50 a year
tor single persons and $100 for
married couples.

clock security protection for Gov.
Mark Hatfield is continuing, his
office said today.
Uniformed members of a spe
cial security detail under the ad
ministration of the superintendent
of state police may be seen near
the governor's residence here.
The security force was es
tablished after the 1903 legislature
adopted a resolution calling for
strengtnened security measures
for Hatfield.
The legislative action came
shortly after an incident in May
which a disgruntled person
fired more than a dozen shots
near the governor's house.
At the recent governor's con
ference in Miami it was brought
out that security is provided all
governors who live in state-owned
executive mansions, and that most
other governors have some type of
security provided cither by state!
or municipal authorities.
Oregon docs not have a state
owned executive mansion, and the
Hatficlds live in their own home
in southeast Salem.
SALEM tUPIl An attempt to
salvage federal matching funds
for civil defense organizations in
six Oregon counties was to be
made today at a meeting between
federal officials and State CD Di
rector Robert W. Sandstrom
The future of the state's fallout
shelter marking and stocking pro
gram also may be decided at the
meeting, Sandstrom said.
Federal matching funds were
made available for civil defense
organizations in six counties on
the condition that the slate agency
supervise the programs.
The c o u n t i e s are Deschutes,
Linn. Washington, Polk, Benton
and Umatilla.
Sandstrom said "two staff peo
ple from region eight headquar
ters in Washington state win meet!
with me and we will try to map
out a program. If we can draft
a program that satisfies the fed
eral officials, we will send it lo
the governor for approval."
The 1963 legislature slashed Ore
gon's 18-member civil defense or
ganization to a three - member
slaff after charging civil defense
was a "do nothing agency
After the cutback, federal offi
cials refused to provide matchingl
funds for the slate program, but
authorized matching funds for the
six counties on the condition that
the stale provide supervision.
Sandstrom said it might be pos
sible to keep Ihe fallout shelter
program going on the local level
without slate aid.
He also said that 37 stored civil
defense field hospitals had been
transferred to the State Board of
Health.
He said the board will maintain
so the hospitals could be utilized
in emergencies.
Sandstrom said the hospitals
were complete units. "They have
everything but a building and the
people to operate them," he ex
plained.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - De
fense Secretary Robert S. Mc
Namara asserted today that the
United States, with "tens of thou
sands of atomic warheads, was
manifestly superior" to Russia
in nuclear power and would risk
little in ratifying the test ban
treaty.
The limited ban would slow So
viet nuclear progress and prolong
U. S. superiority, McNamara told
the Senate in the second day of
hearings on Ihe historic Moscow
pact.
He acknowledged that Russia
"apparently" was ahead of the
United States in design of super
bombs in the multi-megaton rangei
a point that has disturbed some
Senate critics and military leaders.
But he said that lead resulted
from America's "considered de
cision against concentrating on
such bombs. He said horror weap
ons of the 100-megalon type,
which Russia could develop, had
doubtful military utility compared
with smaller megaton weapons
that America could launch now
with precision and in vast numbers.
Asserting his "unequivocal sup
port" of the treaty, McNamara
said the risks it entails are
either small or under our control
and the values under the treaty
arc substantial . . ."
This was in essence the same
lliing Secretary of Stale Dean
Rusk said Monday. Rusk was the
administration's first witness be
fore the Senate foreign relations,
armed services and atomic energy
committees to urge ratification of
Ihe pact which would ban air,
space and underwater tests but
allow continued underground
blasts.
McNamara elaborated on sev
eral points made Monday by Rusk
particularly assuring senators that
this country will pursue under
ground testing and will keep at
peak readiness to resume atmos
pheric testing and other develop
ment at once if Russia breaks tlic
ban.
Rusk also said he felt a prime
reason the Soviet Union agreed to
the test ban was because the Cu
ban crisis last fall gave Kremlin
leaders a look "into the pit of
the inferno." Rusk said Rus
sia concluded it was in its self
interest to agree to the treaty,
which it had rejected previously.'
McNamara said neither an un
likely successful secret violation
nor an abrupt abrogation with
surprise testing on Russia's part
would threaten U. . S. security.
Nothing that could happea under
the treaty's terms or in violation
of them, he said, could change
'the basic fact that America "will
maintain its ability to survive a
surprise attack with sufficient
power to destroy the So
viet Union."

Scotland Yard Discovers
Robbery Gang's Hideout
LONDON (UPI) - Police dis
closed today they have located
Ihe hideout of the robbery cang
that looted a royal mail train of
more Uian $7 million.
By the time the police got there
the robbers were gone, and so
was the loot from the biggest rob
bery of all time, Scotland Yard
announced.
"Empty mail bags" were found
said Commander George Hat-
herill, deputy commander of Scot
land Yard.
The hideout was a brick house
called Lcalhcrsladc farm, about
23 miles from the scene of last
Thursday's robbery at Chcdding-ton.
Halhcrill said the house looked
as though the gang had lelt in
rather a hurry."
"There were a lorry (truckl and
two Landrovers (Jcep-hke vehi
cles) outside. A pit had been dug.
It looked as though they intended
lo bury the stuff," the comman
der said.
Hathcnll said no money was
found at the hideout, but that
some mailbags had been located.
He said the hideout "resembled
an cmply cottage." He said it
was located some distance from
main roads and warned that po
lice would keep the area scaled
off (or two or three days while
investigations were carried out.
Hiilhcrill said he already had
ordered a team of finger-print ex
perts to the house.
He said he believed the gang
had left the house about three
days ago and that they might
have been scared away by press
publicity.
1 he press has carried numerous
reports that police believed the
gang may have hidden within a
radius of 30 miles of Ihe scene of
the robbery last Thursday morn
ing.
"We have satisfied ourselves
that this is the place. We don't
know who the owners are yet,"
Hatherill said.
The estimated 12 lo 30 masked
men vanished after seizing the
Glasgow-to-London mail train last
Thursday morning near Chcdding
ton in Buckinghamshire and tak
ing $7,146,000 in cash.

Riot Squads
On Alert
For Trouble
BERLIN (UPI) - Riot squads
stood at alert in West Berlin to
day during wreath-laying cere
monies marking the second anni
versary of the hated Communist
wall.
Water cannon and barricades
were held ready to disperse any
riots which might threaten to
erupt as they did last Aug. 13.
The anniversary was ushered
in by a mysterious heavy explos
ion on the Communist side of
the Tcltow Canal during the night.
Communist police carried out a
search along the border.
It was exactly two years ago
that East German police and
troops arrived at the Branden
burg Gate and oilier city border
crossing points and began erect
ing barricades at 3 a.m. to stop
the flow of refugees out of the
Communist zone. By the time the
city was awake, it was split by
a concrete block and barbed-wire
barrier which has become a sym
bol of the division between the
free West and the Communist
world.
As a tribute lo the 65 refugees
killed climbing tile wall to reach
the West, West Berliners today
laid wreaths on monuments to
their memory.
