r. - PAGE TWO IlfGDITf PICKED BY FUND This Section is Chosen for Health Work Out of 26 Communities (Continued from Par 1.) rating im these matters in com parison to the rest of the state, - here indeed was fertile ground for the -Fund to show how much could be accomplished in a few hort years through a - well-organised health program. The ex tent to which these conditions have been improved will be treat ed later in separate articles; suf- ' lice it to say, the demonstration has taken ample hold of the sit uation. Brhool Systems Found "Well Organized The excellent organization o! both county and city school sys tems here was another very strong drawing card in process of eliminating the 25 other demonstration-seekers, as was also the fact that official state and volun teer organizations were working in the county and wonld cooper ate gladly with the health pro gram. Particularly among the latter were the state hoard of health and the state tuberculosis r association. Still other reasons why this county was selected included the fact that almost the entire popu lation is American born; nearest to educational institutions of the state, and the state university medical school In Portland; then too, Salem boasted an exceptional medical and dental service, good hospitalization was here and there was opportunity for obtaining good private medical and .dental health work. The foundation sur vey party was also pleased with the diversified economic condition in the county, with neither purely agricultural or purely industrial pursuits claiming the populace. .The latter meant, of course, a more elastic health study. Here Than $300,000 Spent by Demonstration When Dr. W. H. Brown, first director of the child health work here, arrived early in January, 1925, to set up the demonstration, his arrival tokened beginning of an expenditure by the Common wealth Fund over af Ive-year per iod of more than $300,000 for eign money most of which has ac tually been spent in this county. Here was a fact-seeking founda tion willing to sink in Marlon - county 300,000 cool dollars to widen and brighten health habits and standards of the county. . The Commonwealth Fund alone. In otbar words, was willing to expend in a short period al most 60 times as much as the county and city was spending in a year, and to bring a health pro gram to every part of the county rather than to only certain parts. This meant an average of $60,000 a year county income from New " York City. In 1928 the Fund's budget for carrying out its pro ject reached the high mark of $69,785; the previous year it was 563,585; In 1926, $67,340. The fh'at year $46,037 was spent by the Fund, which really included seven months' operation, as the full staff was not completed un. til May, 1925. Aside from these budgets of the demonstration sponsors, city and county agencies continued their financial support. Frnitl Expend i tare Is 50,285 Tliis Year In 1929 the Fund is spending $5,2S5. And how is this divid ed Just $17,099 goes into local services; the ten members of the - clerical staff are paid $8,000; di rector of health education and as- sistant director of the nnrsing staff for field training work claim $6,000; equipment and records fo the year cost $8,000. When the New York office withdraws its support at the close of - this Tear, it will leave Marion county about $20,000 worth of equipment for -which the county will have paid nothing; for it is the policy of the Fund to leave be hind complete equipment and re cords to carry on. Included in this outlay is a fleet of eight new light automobiles; a $250 fire proof safe; complete files and fireproof filing equipment; three new typewriters: three sets ot scales-and one portable outfit; a health library which Is being made as complete as possible; and all office equipment.

"A No. "Q Then how did you see his face? 'A When he was walking to ward the stairway. 'Q Then his face was away from you? "A No. I saw him walking so that he was sideways to me. Q Now in. your recollection isn't there a girl or woman standing in the vicinity ot the elevator? 'A I don't recall her. 'Q Wasn't there a woman behind Miss Prtngle and Duneav? "A I don't remember any." Fitts ordered Biffle to mark on chart where the couple was standing. The witness then testified they walked up the stairway to mes xanine landing talking to each other. "Q What color stockings did Eunice have on? "A 1 don't know. "Q What color shoes? "A I don't know. MQ Now whom did you talk to first about this? A To Mr. Ford." The answer was made reluctantly. "Q Did he call you up or did you go to sea him? A I went to see him. Biffle admitted he knew the case was under investigation at the time of his visit to Ford last August 17 during Pantages pre- iminary examination. 'Q But you never came to the district attorney, nor the solice. nor any law enforcing! agency with this evidence? "A No." Biffle testified that the alleged conversation between the couple was in an ordinary tone of con versation and that he was stand ing about eight teet away when it occurred. He said he first recog nized the pair from photographs but did not see them in person until a week ago. Q You art absolutely posi tive that Eunice Pringle walked up those stairs? "A Yes sir." A recess was taken as the an swer was made. Continued questioning by Fitts, who brought into the trial several new names, indicated that he might call rebuttal witnesses to contradict Ziffle's testimony. He asked the witness if he knew and had discussed the Pantages case with a Mr. Davidson in San Fran cisco, with a woman named Nor ma Lane, and if he knew a Miss Nancy Lee, Hollywood sculptress wno was arrested several weeks ago for attempting to influence a state's witness.

Fitts turned the witness back to Ford, who attempted to ask him questions concerning the promises of payment, but these all met with state objections witch were sustained by the court. Mrs. Hannah Beatty, woman physician in the police juvenile bureau, was the next defense wit ness. She desennea in aexau a physical examination she made of Miss Pringle on August 10, the day following the alleged attack. She testified briefly to the con dition she found, supporting the state's contention of assault. Ford tried to draw from her fur ther details of the girl's condition in an effort to bring out evidence damaging to the state's case. He met a stonewall opposition of ob jections, which Were sustained by the court, leaving the defense with testimony from its own wit ness that she found an assault had been committed. Ford demanded that the jury be excused to allow for arguments by counsel seeking permission to question the witness further. This wrangle ensued for halt an hour, during which the court ruled that the testimony sought by the' de fense did not constitute an issue in the case. The court therefore barred the questioning. Adjournment until tomorrow morning was ordered shortly aft erwards. CHINESE ROUTED Bf RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE (Continued from Pace 1.) Is hastening to that point in order to reorganize the Chinese forces. Late dlspateb.es to the Japan ese news agency Rengo indicated that Soviet artillery began bom bardment of the Chinese bank of the Amur river on October 11, in creasing its violence on October 13 which was the night that the main attack was launched. Prior to the reported attack the Russians issued a statement de claring Chinese aggression both afloat and ashore in the affected region made it necessary to take decisive steps in reprisal. The So viet statement reached Harbin by way of Krarbarovsk and added that the same punshment would follow any future repetitions of aggression by the Chinese. The controversy between Rus sia and China in Manchuria grew out of the ousting of Russian offi cials of the Chinese eastern rail way by the Manchurian govern ment. The Chinese asserted they had taken this action because the Russian officials were using their posts in the dissemination of com munist propaganda.) The wedding of Miss Katheryn Kirk and Herbert L.

Prohibition Situation Ts Outstanding Issue While their work is not restrict ed to prohibition enforcement, Pollak and Chafee doubtless will go thoroughly Into all phases of that situation. The doings of dry agents, tlreVoast guard and border patrols doubtless will be scanned with a view to ascertain how much and often, if at all, lawless ness has been indulged in to en- force the Volstead act. A. native of Rhode Island, Pro fessor Chafee graduated from Brown university and practiced law for a number ot years in Providence. In recent years he has devoted his time to lecturing on law and the wilting of legal and other works, including a book on free speech. In 192 S ho was chair man of a committee reporting to the federal coal commission on the subject of coal and civil liberties. Pollak Experienced In Court Contact Pollak has had much contact in the courts with matters falling within the scope of the inquiry he Is to make with Chafee. He acted as counsel to the Moroland act commissioner in New York in the investigation of the failure ot the City Trust company and its rela tion to unlawful practices In the state banking department. The commission has yet to se lect an expert to assist In Investi gation on the general subject of prohibition, which it made one division of its field ot inauiry. The two experts named today were tne only ones selected to work together on any one of the eleven, division mapped for study. F STATE BOYS' SCHOOL Saving between $40,000 and (50,000 on the operation of the state training sehool for boys, has been the least important result of the new parole system whereby the population at the school has been reduced from the peak num ber, 233 in 1926 to 77, the num ber enrolled there in September of this year. Governor Patterson de clared in a talk at the Kiwanis club lnncheojo Tuesday. The greater saving has been in granting opportunity to the boys paroled, to become useful cit izens Instead of confirmed insti tution Inmates, the governor said. The new system has necessitated the employment of two parole of ficers, but the percentage failing to make good when paroled has been reduced from 27 to 17.5.
