Both tr. Mackenzie and J. P. Farrell
Insisted that the county should em
ploy an experienced and competent so

increased 11000 from the amount al

This amount, members of the com
mittee said, appears far too small, con
sidering the population of alultnoman

there are many cases In which the
county shrould be proffering assistance
which have not been brought to light.
Many worthy people, he said, will not
seek charity, even though they may be
In dire need of it. A trained social
service worker, be contended, could

In passing through Portland on his
way back to Washington. United States
Senator C I McNary held a conference
yesterday with Mayor Baker and City
Attorney LaRoche relative to the in
creased telephone rates. Mr. McNary I
promised to see Postermaster-General
Burleson about it when he arrives in I
Washington. Mr. McNary also said that I
he will appear before the Shipping I
Board and request that the board re
scind the order which was issued can
celing contracts for wood ships.
"Portland la vitally concerned In the
shipbuilding industry." said Mr. McNary. I
"and cancellation or contracts on the
part of the Government will be a ser- I
lous blow to the entire community. It
Is my intention of recommending to the
Shipping Board that the ships originally
contracted for be built. V hen the ves
sels are floated they can be used In the I
merchant marine. It is apparent to )
me. however, that as the Government
gradually ceases Its shipping activities
the shipbuilding industry will have
plenty to do In constructing vessels for
private account ana for foreign ac
count."
Discussing the work confronting Con
gress, Mr. McNary outlined its general
scope by saying that the high points I
will be the ratification of the peace
terms, placing the country on a sounf
financial basis, legislation for the re
clamation of public lands and Govern
ment ownership of railroads, the tele'
graph and telephone lines. Water power I
development and the rehabilitation of
wounded soldiers will likewise have
prominent part In the session.
It was the Intention or Mr. McNary
to remain In Oregon longer, but the!
shipping situation decided him to re
turn to Washington as soon as possible.

This was amplified when Dr. Krnest
