Belief that the low mark of 10 degrees recorded on the govern ment minimum thermometer at the airport was in error was ex pressed by a number of Salem Te sidents, some of them persons whose .duties require them to be abroad In the wee sma honrs of the morning. . Their testimony was that Friday morning was not as cold as Thursday morning. Previous Questions Are Retailed Here Previous expressions of doubt as to the reliability of the weath er bureau instruments here were recalled. Downtown thermome ters which are usually considered reliable showed the temperature at 12:30 Friday morning to be 26 degrees. The cold north wind began again later in the morning, but a drop of f6 degrees was con sidered doubtful. The temperature recorded downtown early this morning was 24 degrees, two degrees colder than at the same, time Friday morning.

Action to Be Taken Against Writers of Worthless Paper, Word - Several bad checks have been making appearances aUthe court house during the past few days, most of the worthless paper be ing given to the county clerk in payment for license fees. County Clerk Boyer brought the matter to the attention of Judge Sieg mund Friday afternoon and it ts expected tohat the county rourt will take action against those per sons who have distributed worth less paper at the court nous. As a usual thing, bad checks are scarce at the court house but Clerk Boyer was reminded of an occasion when a worthless check was given in. payment for a mar riage' license here. A young man obtained the license and gave his personal check .which proved to be no good. The groom appar ently' told his new wife about the matter because about five days later she came in to the county clerk's office to give eash for the check. "She probably thought that he was worth the $3.50," chuckled Boyer as he recounted the incident. It has long been a standing or der by the county court that no checks from ' persons . living out side the county are to be accepted and it is also a rule not to give change for a check from which payment for filing, taxes or li cense fees have been- deducted. But a bad check does not do much harm because no license or paper of' any description is filed until actual payment at the bank Is 'made for every check, concluded Mr. Boyer. ; BHD CHECKS GIVEN COUHtY GLERK HERE Governor Approves Sale To Advertise Governor Norblad Friday ap proved a - plan Initiated by the state . chamber o t commerce through' which it is proposed to sell to Oregon eitixens and cor porations , approximately 6,750, ' 000 high colored stamps advertis ing the advantages and resources . of this state. -: - ' t - ' ' The stamps stress the climatic : conditions, - recreational advan . tages, scenie resources and ; the various products which contribute to the prosperity of tho state.

English, former em ploye of the secretary of state, was arrested by sheriffs oper atives here Friday charged with embezzling $1227 of state funds. English's operations covered a period dating from January 1 to June 1, 1929. Records show that English was employed in the state department since December, 1927, and for 18 months prior to his discharge was engaged in auditing refund claims under the motor vehicle duel tax acts. Ten false claims were said to have been issued by English. It was the practice of English, the secretary of state said, to pre pare a false claim for refund of gasoline tax payments, add sign the name of his former wife, Jes sie Bourne of Little Rock, Ark. English attached to these claims invoices from gasoline compan ies which, he borrowed tor the purpose of other claims which had been legitimately submitted and which were on file in the state department. Warrants Sent to Cover False Claims Warrants were issued covering the false claims and sent to Mrs. Bourne. English then returned the vouchers to their proper places and destroyed the false claims. Cancelled warrants also were destroyed. Investigation indicated that the Bourne woman cashed the warrants issued to cover the false claims, and returned to English $200 of the $1227 she received. Officials said Mrs. Bourne was in nocent of implication in the questionable operation of her ex-husband. When auditors began the work of checking the accounts" of the state department last July, Eng lish ceased his operations. As the audit progressed the irregulari ties were uncovered and suspicion pointed toward English. Early in November English went to Hal E. Hoss, secretary of state, and confessed to the whole affair, Hoss demanded return of the money, which was forthcoming within 34 hours. English then was discharged. Defendant Is Graduate Of Oregon State College English is a graduate of Ore gon state college and prior to en tering the state employ spent some time in Ohio where he was on the staff of the United States geological survey. He also was employed by the Salem engineer ing department. He Is a civil en gineer and veteran of the world war. English is a member of a prom inent saiem family and is well known in this part of the state. Officials said that he made no attempt to leave Salem, and that he surrendered to the sheriff's operatives when Informed that he had been Indicted by the grand jury, ue u 32 years of age.

Jan. 10 (AP) As announcement came from the White House today that President Hoover would submit the first report of the law en forcement commission to congress Monday, the commission Itself is sued a statement asserting that Its preliminary examination lad demonstrated u n q u e s t ionakTy that the criminal law enforce ment machinery of the country Is entirely inadequate. Decision of the president to transmit the commission report was announced after there had been widely published re pert that the chief executive and the republican house leadership bad differed on the prohibition en forcement policy. These reports were promptly denied by Speaker Longworth and republican leader Tllson in formal statements. Wisconsin Wet Makes Another Attack on J-aws Other developments in the pro hibition discussion included an attack upon the dry raws by Rep resentative Schafer, republican, Wisconsin, and a demand by La Follette, a republican indepen-, dent, that the law enforcement commission be permitted to stake its study without out?Ide dfwns- slon or influence. Reports of a disagreement be tween the president and the house leaders were predicted upon statements of the latter that they' wanted regular committees of the house Instead of a propos ed joint committee to consider the matter of transferring the prohibition unit from the treas ury to the justice department. At the White House it was said that the plan of a joist committee to consider reorganis ation of the federal agencies for the enforcement of prohibition had been agreed upon by senate and house leaders during the spe cial session of congress when reg ular committees of the house were not organized. Resolution Routed Through Committee The senate resolution propos ing the special committee was so drafted that Its recommendations would have had to be considered by regular house committees be-' fore house action. It was decid ed, however, that the whole question ' could be expedited by the various house committees taking up the proposal directly and immediately. 4 The further statement was made that the White House had no interest in the question of pro cedure; that It desired only ex pedition of legislation and that it would adapt itself entirely, to the wishes of house leaders in any methods they might adopt for early consideration of the propos als.
