On-gnu the recent congressional furor over base closings fresh in mind, the Pentagon was said to be in no hurry about perform ing a more drastic surgical op eration on shipyards. The II yards are in nine states and employ 93,033 work ers. Their original cost, dating in some cases back to 1800, to taled more than $15 billion. Tlie present value is about $-14 bil lion. The Pugct Sound Naval Ship yard is one of the 11. Defense officials now reckon that excess capacity in all the yards combined amounts to 110 per cent or more. This was the basis for their aim to close four yards, On Dec.

Senators and congressmen reacted sharply. The next day Defense Secre tary Robert S. McNamara told newsmen he did not know why some members of Congress ex pected those shipyards to be closed. Hut he said it was "quite clear that we have ex cess capacity ir our naval ship yard system today." He said "a very complicated, extensive and intensive study" was under way and would lie completed "sometime in the next 12 months." Information which became available Saturday indicated there would have been shipyard closings or reductions but that McNamara was frustrated in his effort to get conclusive in formation from the Navy on which ones should be closed. The secretary would have to have an airtight case to support action to shut down one naval shipyard as against another, in view of tlie large economic and political factors concerned. On Dec. 18, it was announced that Navy Secretary Paul H. Nitze would himself be chair man of a new high-level board to study "shipyard capacity and requirements." Defense officials gave no hint what deadline there was for the Nitze study.

UPI Telephoto Group Argues Sales Tax Take PORTLAND I UPI I The manager of Oregon Tax Re search said Saturday that the State Tax Commissions esti mate of the return from a pro posed sales tax in Oregon was "conservative. "There is no intention to dis credit the commission in its projected yield from a sales tax in Oregon." George Annala, a former state representative from Hood River, said. "But it is my considered opin ion that the commission's esti mates are conservative." he said. The commission estimated that a three per cent sales tax in the state would bring in $79 million annually if food were in cluded or $66 million a year if food purchased for home con sumption were exempt. Annala said he agreed with an estimate of $13 million by the commission for the difference between taxing or not taxing food consumed off premises. "I have no quarrel wilh their use of this figure." he said. "It is to the $66 million estimate that I would like to call atcn tion. In my judgment, this is 10 to 20 per cent below what may actually he realized." Threat Results In Charge FORT WORTH (UP!
