1 Musa, Barton Comment On Legislative Session (Editor's Not: United Press temaliooal asked the Senate president and House speaker to comment on the special session which begins Monday. Their comments follow.) . By Senate President Ben Musa I anticipate the session will be austere, short and harmonious. We have a very specific man date from our bosses, the vot ers, to reduce the 19t3-65 budg et, as originally adopted, by $60 million. It is my hope this can be ac complished without seriously in. ejurisg necessary state services. Tbe 90 dedicated nen and wo men of (the legislature are well . ware of their grave responsi bility and will make a good ac count of themselves, and all with reasonable dispatch. By Speaker Clarence Barton It would be my hope that Die special session of the legisla ture will rapidly come to grips wilh the problems at hand,will confine its activities solely to0 these problems, will solve them and adjourn. I The immediate problem is to reduce state expenditures, to present state revenues. The gov. ernor is not only permitted, but0 is presently required by law, to cut spending in those areas where he can, to the end that outgo equals income. The attor ney general has given an opin ion that tile governor cannot re duce basic school support with out permission by the legisla ture. Because of the fact that basic school support comprises about 40 per cent of the state's budget, it is my personal opin ion that '!., too, should be sub ject to allotment control, other wise the area where reductions can be made is so small that many unfortunate individuals will suffer if the total reduction in the budget must be made from sources not including basic school support. My mail indicates that the people of Oregon support educa tion but they resent what they call "frills" in education. People in the field of public education should commence trimming their sails and eliminating these frills.

Many people indicate that they feel a sales tax would solve Ore gon's problems. It may well be that it will help to solve them, though this has not been the ex perience in sales tax states. All states have their financial prob lems just as Oregon does, and the method of taxation that is used is not a panacea for these problems. It would seem to me that if the special session of the legislature were to attempt to write a sales tax bill, we would also, at the same time, have to rewrite the present income tax Jaw completely and submit the two proposals fb the people for their vole. I have never been an enthu siast for a sales tax, and if it is to be just another tax, my opposition to it will be intensi fied. I qucion whether or not there is time in the special ses sion to rewrite our entire tax code so as to present a bal anced new tax program to the people. It would seem to me that the course of wisdom would be to leave this for the tax in terim study committee, which will have the time and oppor tunity to do a workmanlike job on tax reform rathera, than to at tempt to accomplish this in the hurry of the special session. This is particularly true because enactment of any new tax w ill, in my judgment, require the ultimate approval of the people of Oregon and will not solve our immediate problem of balancing the governor's $404 million budg et w ith approximately $342 mil lion of revenues. This is the principal task of the special session. This we should do and then adjourn. 26 Girls Eye Rodeo Crown LAS VEGAS, Nev.

Reuther Conflict May Erupt At Labor Session WASHINGTON (UPI) - The AFL-CIO prepared today for its 8th anniversary convention with a public display of harmony be tween1 veteran antagonists George Meany and Walter P. Reuther. But informed sources said the conflict was not far below the surface and might erupt at the labor federation's convention opening Thursday in New York City. Meany, AFL-CIO president, has taken steps to minimize dis sension over racial discrimina tion in union ranks and internal Disputes on job rights. He and Reuther, auto work ers' union president and widely regarded as the second most powerful AFL-CIO leader, also agree on the need for increased political action by labor in 1964 and the importance of reducing unemployment.

Reuther also has moved to transform the AFL-CIO's Indus trial Union Department, which he heads, into a "little CIO" by sharply expanding its role in or ganizing, lobbying and state local affairs. Aides of the red-haired UAW chief say that he decided to in crease the department's activi ties because he felt that the AFL-CIO under Meany's direc tion was doing too little in these fields.

Meany's allies contend that Reuther's influence within the AFL-CIO has never been at a lower ebb. Reuther was unable to muster the votes of all the former CIO rro-mbers of the federation's ex ecutive council, for example, in a recent showdown with Meany over filling a council vacancy. Mcany's choice John Grogan of the Shipbuilding Workers was selected over Reuther's hot protests. Calls For Ouster Reuther served notice Thurs day that he might attack Meany's role in a maritime labor dispute that involves Ca nadian ships on the Great Lakes. The UAW leader called for Ihe ouster of Harold C. (Hal) Banks, American-born president of the AFL-CIO Seafarers' Un ion in Canada, on the ground that Banks has not complied with the labor fedcralion's code of ethics.

" ,1 Joan Crawford of J a m a i c a, Civil Rights, White House And 'Archaic Rules' Draw Partial Blame For Congress' Slow Pace WASHINGTON (UPII - Why ( has it taken the Senate so long to accomplish so little? Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D Conn., triggered a spate of soul-searching oratory when he charged that Democratic Lead er Mike Mansfield, Mont., was responsible for the Senate's "dribbling" pace. "If we're going to get about our business, he's got to be a leader and say no sometime," Dodd said. He did not spare Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen. I'l He said the oppo sition, "has aecome so compla cent, so soft, so cozy that it doesn't amount to much." As is his custom, the mild mannered Mansfield turned tiie other cheek, insisting tiiat Co.- gress' record required no apol ogies. Dirksen blasted Dodd and said the Connecticut Demo-; crat was displaying "cerebral incoherence." The Dodd outburst and the ensuing debate pointed up the mounting frustration on Capitol Hill over the legislative slow down, however. It appears that this session will end without fi nal action on either'civil rights or tax cut legislation the two big issues President- Kennedy wanted settled in 19fi3. Mansfield and to a lesser extent Dirksen are easy tar gets, fellow senators say, but neither should bear the blame for tlie slowdown. They say the blame should be spread farther aficid the White House, the House of Rep resentatives, Southern lawmak ers fighting civil rights legisla tion, not to mention Oie Sen ate's system of rules branded "archaic" by liberals. You can put 90 per cent of it down to civil rights," one veteran senator declared. "And the blame belongs as much downtown (the White House) a in Congress." Once President Kennedy switched his 1963 program in midstream and decided to push for an omnibus civil rights bill "a lot of people began to sit on things," he said.

MORE TEMPTING batch of witnesses to be hoard there anything to produce a stretch-out of congressional business. "The only way Southerners have of modifying die civil rights bill so they can perhaps live with it is to force it into tlie election year." the senator said. "And there isn't too much that Mike Mansfield or anyone else can do about it, under our system." Senate Republican Whip Thomas H. Kuchcl, Calif., blames the Senate's "archaic rules" for most of the trouble. "You couldn't put Paul the Apostle in the majority leader's seat and have him conduct the business of tlie country with tlie rules wie have." lie said. Mansfield has suffered in some appraisals because he followed tlie flambuoyant Lyndon. B. Johnson as floor leader. John son, now vice president and re moved from tlie legislative bat tleground, liked to dramatize his victories and screen his de feats.

Part of Ihe leadership prob lem on tlie Democratic side lies in holding together the differing wings of the party. Northern liberals and Southern conserva tives take a lot of organization al trouble-shooting to keep in voting harness. Mansfield's problem in this regard was magnified recently by the departure of the major ity secretary, Robert G. (Bob by) 3aker. Now under investi gation for possible conflict of interest because of outside busi ness deals, Baker resigned his post Oct. 7. His outside activities a.Jde, Democratic senators agree that Bobby provided a needed con duit for action orders and coop eration among Democralic members. A South Carolinian who had spent 21 years around tlie Senate, he was an agile and effective go-between and aide to tlie leadership.

From time to time there has been speculation that Mansfield might give up tiie majority leadership, even give up his Senate seat to return to aca demic life. He is a candi date for re-election in 1964 and favored to win, however. Tlie current spate of criticism will not cause him to step out of the leadership, intimates said. "Even if he wanted to, we wouldn't let him," said a Dem ocratic senator. "He's too easy-going at times for his own good, but that can change. Be sides, we're all to blame for this situation. And some of us are ashamed of what just happened." And Dodd, the man who start ed it all. said "Amen" to that last night. He told tlie Senate he felt "like a skunk at a lawn party" and conceded it might have been "wiser" to have "kept my mouth shut." Describing Mansfield as a "very great man," Dodd said, "he has my respect and affec tion as well as my loyalty."
