The organized effort of southern Oregon communities to prevent the chango In train schedule from be coming effective through an appeal to the interstate commerce com mission, met with failure, when the commission announced that it lacked authority. In a wire to City Attorney B. L.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. (AP) A year ago today President Roose- velt proposed bis court reorganiza- tlou bill and precipitated a momen tous congressional battle. ' Political effects of the long ! struggle which left his party rank.i in congress badly split are still in almost daily evidence on capitol bill. The breach baa not healed. Instead of the bait dozen dis senters from administration poli cies among senate democntts, who had never proved a ptoblenifor the leadership, there Is now a big and fairly solid group of regular oppo sitionists. 1 Every really vital vote In the senate since the court bill fight has been close. The spirit o( iiute pendence has spread to the house, where last session tor the first time the bigger chamber voted down a key administration measure the wage-hour bill. Proposal Evenuates Most likely constitutional amend ment to emerge from the court debate is the Norris proposal to make it easier in the future to chango the constitution. It would require that a constitu tional amendment submitted to the states by congress automatically go on the ballots in the next gen eral election. This would permit ratification by direct vole, and would assure prompt action. Amendments now are acted on by state legislatures or constitutional conventions. Although Mr. Roosevelt lost his court battle, he has since won his objective of a more friendly su preme court by retirement of two Justices who often voted against bis policies. "Nation Should Rejoice" Rep. Snell (R., N. Y.I, the house minority leader, said in a state ment that there should be "na tional rejoicing and thanksgiving" "that President Roosevelt s co-1 hill was not enacted.

HITLER CRABS Gil r Diplomatic Corps Shake-Up Also Marks Centralizing of Rule That Perils Europe's Peace. RERUN. Feb. f (AP)Reieh sfuehrer Adolf Hitler emerged to day from Germany's most amazing cabinet crisis as the supreme com mander to intensify nazificalion of his army and to prepare the na tion for a new step in world af fairs. He assumed direct command of all armed forces, made sweeping changes in the diplomatic service, concentrated authority more than ever before in his own bunds, with a secret council on foreign affairs, and named as his foreign mtnlst :r the zealous na.i, Joachim von Rih bentrnp, the champagne salesman who became ambassador to Lon don.

(AP) An so-tou atom smasher, capable of turning ordinary table salt into a radium substitute of probable value in cancer treatment, made its debut today at the Franklin in stitute. Dr. A. J. Allen, in charge of the giant electromagnet, explained it would be used to extend experi ments already begun by Dr. K. O. lawrence, of the I'niversily of California, its inventor, anil others. The apparatus, officially known as a cyclotron, Is so powerful and o sensitive that visitors must heck their watches and other metal pocket pieces at the door be- iore entering the laboratory whert! it performs Us twentieth century alchemy. Otherwise, Dr. Allot said, the cyclotron, would not function properly. Its promise in the field of c:V cer, the scientist said, lies in its ability to Isolate neutrons uu charged nuclei of atoms, Tests al ready made with a dozen other cyclotrons In the United States, he said, have indicated that neutrons are as much as four times as se lective as radium iu killing cancer cells without damaging normal ones. The cyclotron is expected during the couiho of a day to make radio active salt equivalent to a half a gram, or $12,500 worth, of radium. When it Is in operation, Dr. Allen explained, the total radiation Is equivalent to that from two pounds of radium hut the radiation Is not concentrated.
