NKWS, Klamath Falls. 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. II, when the Penta
gon was preparing to announce
plans for closing 2S domestic
and seven overseas military fa
cilities, reports circulated that

the shipyards at Boston, Phila
delphia and San Francisco
might be dosed. 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.

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."
