sonal income in Oregon, the rate
of increase has been slower than
in many other states.
"Oregon has relied on prop
erty taxpayers for a larger share
of the increase in state and local
taxes than have other states.
"Approval of the income tax
bill will, at least temporarily, ease
the pressure on the property tax.

The station was built after
years of pressure by local inter
ests for a defense establishment
at the mouth of the Columbia. It
was finished just after the out
break of World War II.
During the war, Tongue Point
was an operating air station.
When peace came it w as not need
ed so in 1946 was converted into
a base for reserve amphibious
ships. s
More than 200 vessels were
berthed there for several years,
and the' eight piers were built to
accommodate the reserve fleet.
1.000 Men There
Up to 1,000 uniformed men and
700 civilian workers manned the
base in peacetime. In 1947 the
Navy built 368 housing units on a
hill south of Tongue Point for
Navy families.
But in I960, the station was in
cluded in a list of 52 military es
tablishments in the continental
United Slates declared surplus. By
the end of 1961, all ships and
military personnel except a care
taker detachment had been removed.
The station, estimated to have
cost the U.S. upwards of $20 mil
lion, was turned over to General
Services Administration for disposal.
Tile city of Astoria offered re
cently to buy it for $950,000 after
efforts to interest several federal
and state agencies had failed.
When Sen. Wayne Morse, D-0re
objected, the GSA rejected the
city's offer, which was made with
the intent to resell the property
to a group of local businessmen.
Since then, Morse has been
pressing the administration to find
a new use for the facilitv.

Warden Says Stiff er Penalties
Might Curtail Escape Attempts
SALEM lUPl) Stiffer penalties
for prison escapees "might slow
them down." Warden Clarence T.
Gladden said today.
So far this year. Gladden said,
there have been 11 escapes from
work details outside the penitenti
ary walls.
Oregon Correctional Institution
Supt. P. J. Squier reported two
have fled outside work details so
far this year.
Most penitentiary escapees get
an 18-month sentence, records
showed, and OCI escapees get
from 12 to 18 months.
Before 1961, the law made it
mandatory for the courts to im
pose a consecutive sentence for
escape if the prisoner was a sec
ond offender. This meant the ad
ditional penalty had to be served
in addition to the prisoner's regu
lar term.
In 1961 the legislature changed
the law and gave the courts the
option to give either a consecutive
or concurrent sentence for escape.
A prisoner who receives a con
current sentence does not have his
prison stay lengthened.
Gladden (old United Press In
ternational he felt the law should
be returned to the pre-1961 statute
which would require consecutive
sentences.
There have been 42 prison es
capes since 1957, Gladden noted
in 1958, 4 in 1959, 14 in I960, 3
in 1961, 5 in 1962, and 11 so far
this year. None were from inside
the walls.
He said 27 fled the prison farm
annex, 6 left t h e prison forest
camp, 3 attempted escapes from
inside the walls, there was 1
from the prison garage, 1 from
the prison business office, and 4
men fled labor crews.
No one has escaped from inside
the fence at OCI since it was
opened, but 12 have fled outside
work assignments, Squier said.
One escaped in 1959. 2 in 1960. 4
in 1961, 3 in 1962, and 2 so far
this year.
Gladden said none of the men
assigned to outside details were
convicted of violent crimes. Most,
he said, were serving time for
burglary, writing bad checks, or
for auto theft.
Of the 42 penitentiary escapees,
one was killed in an auto wreck
the day after he escaped, and fi
were still at large. All the OCI
escapees have been recaptured.

Use After
Two N. T.
By OSWALD JACOBY
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Use of the Jacoby Transfer Bid
(JTBi after an opening bid of
two no-trump is most effective. Of
course, you must bid at the three
level.
Three clubs is Stayman, three
diamonds a heart transfer, and
three hearts a spade transfer.
The use of the transfer bid al
lowed South to play four spades
after he made the wise decision
to go to four spades instead of
passing three no-trump.
Norths three heart response
was a transfer bid. He followed
up with a bid of three no-trump
to inform his partner that lie
held a hand Hint might pluy
spades. It was just sis well that
he did. Almost any line nl detense
would beat three no-trump provid
ed that West remembered to duck
two spades but the only way to
heat lour spades would he for the
defenders to upset the table and
steal a trick in the resulting
confusion.
Of course, this hand does not
represent any great triumph for
the transfer bid. If North were
declarer he would make lour
spades also.
No convention is so good that
It leads to a gain every time it
comes up. The only thing about
the transfer bid is that when you
get to use it, you are far more
likely to get a favorable result
than il you are noi playing the
convention.
