Underground Reports from Europe States Oatis Case Backfired WASHINGTON (UP)—An underground report from Czechoslovakia says the secretary general of the Czech communist party was ousted because the Oatis case backfired. Anti-communist resistance forces also reported to friends here that communist leaders are now in a mood to negotiate for the release from prison of William N. Oatis, Associated Press correspondent convicted of "spying" and now serving a 10-year term. This government has denounced the charges as baseless. Dr. V. S. Krajovic, chairman of the national committee for the liberation of Slovakia, said today the report from resistance forces declared Rudolf Slamsky was recently purged as secretary general because of an unexpectedly unfavorable world reaction following the Oatis arrest. The report was one of several which Krajovic said was forwarded from Slovak underground sources. They came in from time to time and are passed to American officials. They are not subject to immediate verification from other sources in many cases. The latest one on Oatis also said Soviet Russian secret police had a direct hand in questioning the newsman following his arrest. It even named the men: A Captain Lindauer and a Sgt. Pribost. Eight Czech secret police investigators also were named concentration camp. He now heads the Slovakia liberation movement in this country. Corporation Tax Increased by Senate Today WASHINGTON (UP)—The Senate-House conference committee adjusting differences in a multi-billion dollar tax increase bill chalked up considerable progress yesterday in their first full day of negotiations. They agreed to: 1. Increase the normal tax rate on corporations from 25 to 30 per cent, and leave the surtax rate unchanged at 22 per cent, as favored by the House. The Senate bill called for bopsting the normal rate which applies to the first $25,000 of a corporation's earnings, to 27 per cent, and tilting the surtax to 25. In either case, the combined normal and surtax rate which applies to earnings over $25,000 would be 52 per cent. The decision made it certain that corporations will be tapped for some what over $2,000,000,000 in additional taxes. 2. Make the corporate rate increase effective April 1, 1951, as voted by the Senate, rather than Jan. 1, 1951, the date approved by the House. 3.

(F)—The nation's governors were united on many state problems but split into four distinct political factions as they went home today from their 43rd annual conference. With a Republican—Gov. Val Peterson of Nebraska—elected conference chairman, the governors demonstrated that both parties are divided in advance of the presidential campaign. Peterson, elected in a non-partisan atmosphere in which democrats and republicans are alternated as chairman, is a member of a faction of the republican party that is campaigning to obtain the GOP presidential nomination for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Representing the other wing of the republicans, Gov. J. Bracken Lee of Utah enlivened yesterday's closing session with demands that the governors lay aside a scheduled discussion of law enforcement and turn to what he called the "real issues" of deficit spending, high taxes and threats of comto time and are passed to American officials. They are not subject to immediate verification from other sources in many cases. The latest one on Oatis also said Soviet Russian secret police had a direct hand in questioning the newsman following his arrest. It even named the men: A Captain Lindauer and a Sgt. Pribost. Eight Czech secret police investigators also were named. Oatis reportedly has been ordered by the interior ministry transferred from Peneranc Prison to another jail. Czechoslovak ambassador Vladimir Prochazka told a news conference last week that Oatis is "quite well," but did not say where he was. Dr. Krajovic, former Bank of Slovakia director, was brought to the U.S. after World War II under military protection, following his liberation from a German Choral Conductors Choral Guild Holds Meeting The Orange County chapter of the Choral Conductors' Guild of California held its first meeting of the season last Monday evening at the Spurgeon Memorial Methodist church in Santa Ana. Mr. Francis Baxter, minister of music at the Wilshire Christian church in Los Angeles, and a faculty member at Los Angeles State college, was the featured speaker. He challenged the group to higher ideals in church music and set forth many ways of improving our relationships between the podium, pulpit, and pew.

J. Bracken Lee of Utah enlivened yesterday's closing session with demands that the governors lay aside a scheduled discussion of law enforcement and turn to what he called the "real issues" of delicit spending, high taxes and threats of communism. In the crime probe discussion, Gov. Fuller Warren, Florida democrat, attacked Senator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), former chairman of the Senate crime investigating committee. Warren called Kefauver a "madly ambitious political shyst." Gov. Peterson defended Kefauver, saying he thinks he is a "grand American." Asked for comment on Warren's attack, Kefauver said in Washington: "I've always heard a stuck pig always squeals." A Kefauver committee report said Florida was one of the nation's major centers of organized gambling and crime. The report indirectly pointed a critical finger at Warren. In the political activity, republican governors who consider themselves in the so-called internationalist camp of the party rallied to the Eisenhower campaign under the leadership of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York. Those who seemed determined to put the emphasis in next year's presidential drive on domestic issues and who don't go along with many of the major phases of the Truman administration's foreign policy gravitated to the camp of Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, along with Lee. Mrs. Winifred Sloop; president of the Guild, presided at the business session during the dinner hour. Mrs. Sloop is the new minister of music at the First Presbyterian church. Reports were given by Wesley Marquart of Orange who is chairman of the winter work shop, Maxson Foss of Fullerton who is chairman of the spring festival, and Stephen Palmer of Santa Ana, treasurer. Dave Young, member of the State board of governors, and Willard Bassett, president of the State organization, gave brief summaries of state-wide activities of the Guild. Of special interest was the formation of the new San Francisco chapter and the coming mid-winter institute to be held on the U.S.C. campus. Mrs. Mary Steffenson of Corona del Mar was elected to the county executive board. Glenn Daun of Santa Ana, program chairman, introduced Lie adult choir of the host church, which, under the direction of Maxson Foss and accompanied at the organ by Louise Foss, presented an excellent program of anthems. Mrs. Sloop announced that the next meeting of the Guild will be held Nov. 26 at Christ Church by the Sea in Newport Beach. She stated that all interested choral directors are invited to attend.

Bureau, Company Merge into Ten Year Contract SACRAMENTO (P)—The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. have entered into a 10-year contract for sale to the private utility of excess Central Valley Project power. The agreement was announced by the bureau yesterday. It provides for the sale to the P.G.E. of power not required by the Reclamation Bureau's preference customers or federal agencies. It supplements the recently executed agreement whereby CVP power is delivered to customers of the Reclamation Bureau over the P.G.E.'s lines. The bureau said the new agreement established 800,000 kilowatts — more than enough power to supply a city the size of Oakland—as the dependable capacity for the present CVP hydroelectric power system. That system includes the power developed at Shasta and Keswick dams. But the agreement also provides for inclusion of power from Folsom dam on the American river when it is completed. CVP power has been sold to the P.G.E. on a day to day basis until now. Richard L. Boke, regional director of the Reclamation Bureau, said: "The contract does not provide as much firm power for the pro- Supervisors Discuss Equalization Of County Assessments at Meeting SACRAMENTO (CNS)—One of the primary matters discussed at the annual convention of county supervisors, held last week in Santa Cruz, was the equalization of county assessments, a subject which all last summer resulted in a topy-turvy situation in the state board of equalization and never yet has been settled. The subject was thrown on the table at the supervisors convention by State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel, who reviewed the lack of progress made by the board in equalizing taxes in the various counties of the state, and outlined the causes behind the debate. Kuchel, as an ex-officio member of the state board, consistently has advocated that the state constitution, which mandates the board to equalize assessments, should be followed. But, as he outlined it to the supervisors, the mandate never has been followed, with wide ranges in assessments in various counties in relation to market value of the properties assessed. The history of the controversy, as outlined by the controller, started in 1933, when the so-called Riley-Stewart plan was adopted, and for three years subsequent to that date, assessment ratios were raised in some counties, but since 1937, the board has not moved to bring the properties of all counties up to a reasonable level, showing equity in assessments. Already, he says, there is a suggestion for a state-wide central assessing agency, and others have suggested a new agency to determine local ratios for state allocation purposes only, and to forget equalization between counties for ad valorem tax purposes. Either of these two alternatives would help rob local governments of more of their own authority to deal with their local problems. The board, he pointed out, has approved appointment of a state-wide committee to give more study to the problem, and the requirements of the constitution, which Kuchel hopes will result in some definite plan.

Lowell G. McLean of the office of J. R. Lester Boyle engineers spoke Tuesday night to the Stanton Chamber of Commerce at the home of the president, G. W. Irwin, 7862 E. Second st. McLean presented a proposal to form a water district under the county water act which, with a board of five members who would be elected, a sewer project could be formed. The same group could later function to secure Metrololitan water or whatever plan decided upon. He also pointed out the advantage of this plan would be that property owners could have water without sewers and those not wishing sewers out of the proposed district would not have to pay for them. The proposed district to start The history of the controversy, as outlined by the controller, started in 1933, when the so-called Riley-Stewart plan was adopted, and for three years subsequent to that date, assessment ratios were raised in some counties, but since 1937, the board has not moved to bring the properties of all counties up to a reasonable level, showing equity in assessments. It was in 1945 that the legislature embarked on a new policy of expenditure by appropriating funds for state aid to schools, providing for distribution of these funds on a formula with assessed valuations as an important factor. The formula, according to Kuchel, penalized counties with high assessed valuations, and gave an advantage in the disbursement of funds to counties with low values. Consequently, in 1949, the California Teachers Association sponsored and saw adopted a bill, which Kuchel describes as "infamous," directing the Board of Equalization to equalize county properties to new levels within a 10 per cent range of a mean figure. The measure, Kuchel says, requires equalization to "bring the top down," rather than increase county assessments to a higher level. This is the same bill that the legislature passed in 1949, delayed action on in 1951 for two years, and failed to appropriate funds to carry out its provisions. The state controller heartily condemns the policy of inaction, both on the part of the board and the legislature. He declared that if the board continues to treat the problem as "untouchable," it will become infinitely worse, and asserted that many suggestions would come before the solons, some of which would involve surrendering local autonomy.
