I RE T I WEATHER HERE Exaggerated Statistics Will Place Salem in Unfa vorable Light Removal of Thermometer to i More Normal Place Is Recommended ' Protest at the undeserved un favorable publicity which Salem's weather has been receiving in the last two weeks, when tempera lares here have been reported as the coldest in the Willamette val ley, was growing more insistent Wednesday and It was predicted that-definite action to change the location of the weather recording Instruments would be started at once. The general opinion Is that the weather In Salem has not been ten degrees or more colder than that In Portland and other near by cities, and that location of the government thermometers at the airport has been responsible for the poor showing made here. Downtown Thermometers Art More Like Normal Downtown thermometers, ade quately exposed to the elements, have shown temperatures similar to those reported from other val ley cities, and it is believed that If the government thermometers were placed downtown, for exam ple In the postoffice block, it would' agree with the unofficial Instruments and in any case pre sent a true picture of conditions here. Until a year or so ago the wea ther bureau instruments were lo ated below the lnter-county bridge, close to the river, and that location also proved unsatis factory because It resulted in warmer temperatures being re corded in summer than the city was actually experiencing. Criticism Voiced In Many Quarters On several occasions in the past The Statesman has led in the ap peal for more correct weather re cording here, but this time, after calling attention to the discrepan cies at the outset of the cola' spell, this newspaper has refrained from comment and waited until the public in general took up the Matter. Criticism of conditions was coming in from many sources Wednesday. Following is a comparison of temperatures recorded at Port land and Albany with those taken at the airport here and charged vp against Salem in the past few days, the first column being Portlands minimum, the second Albany's and the third Salem's: Jan 22 15 12 4 Jan. 21 14 4 -5 Jan. 20 18 14 -2 Jan. 17 13 16 16 Jan. 11 20 11 9 Jan. 10 20 14 10 Jan. 9 21 21 19 LEGALITY OF WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.. Jan. 22 (AP) Conflicting tes timony aa to the legality of the raid on the residence of George W. Moore last Saturday when two federal dry agents were killed, was given before a coroner's Jury today. The t'efense sought to show that the search was illegal on the ground that a daytime warrant was used after nightfall. James S. Kugler and W. M IcNulty, surviving members of the Quartet of agents who tried to search the Moore place, test! fied that the raid was made dur ing daytime. They said they drove to the residence without lights, that no street lamps were lit ana' that the only light In the residence was in the kitchen. On the other hand, Mrs. Moore end her daughter, Ollie, 14, took the stand to assert that the lam ily was together in a lighted front room of the house and that the raid came without warning To testimony from the agents that James K. Moncure, one of the slain men, had knocked at the front door ana had shown the warrant to Moore, the wife and daughter countered that the first .warning of the search came when Mrs. Moode saw a man in the kitchen with a drawn pistol.

Strieker of the state board of health announced the program. Strieker's announcement came following a conference WINTER VERSATILE 1CITYJEH Weather Does Everything Except Become Warm; No Relief Foreseen Salem was treated to a wide variety of weather Wednesday night, but all of it was winter weather, and the government forecaster took back his promise of rising temperatures for today, substituting "continued cold." Some sleet fell early Wednes day morning, and clouds ob scured the sun all day, resulting in a general impression of com parative warmth not corrobor ated by the 28 degrees maximum. More sleet fell in the after noon, the rail becoming heavier at dusk. It was followed about 7 o'clock by a fall of snow 'in large flakes which, bearing out the tra dition about such snowfall, did not last long. Sleet fell still heavier later Wednesday night, leaving a loose covering about half an inch deep which was slushy to the pedes trian and decidedly slippery to motor traffic.

SOUTHWEST REGION KANSAS CITY, Jan. 22. (AP) Storm scarred by extreme cold of more than two weeks' duration, the southwest and Rocky Moun tain regions tonight were prom ised some relief tomorrow from generally prevalent sub-zero tem peratures. Traffic was for the most part resumed on regular schedule to day, following its demoralization yesterday in Kansas and Okla homa, because of snow which drifted high over railroad tracks and highways. A Frisco passen rer train, snowbound near Enid, Okla., last night, reached Tulsa, Okla., today. Sub-zero thermometer readings were in evidence again tonight. however. Temperatures of from 10 to 20 degrees below zero were common in Kansas, Missouri and Okla homa. Readings Included 32 de grees below zero at Bethany, Mo., 29 degrees below at Warsaw, Mo., 25 degrees below at Miami, Okla., and 20 degrees below at Winfleld, Kas. Generally fair weather was In dicated for the entire Rocky mountain area. Montana, birth place of the cold wave, reported rising temperatures. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas all were fa vored by promises of clear skies and warmer weather. Losses of livestock men and fruit and vegetable growers be cause of the cold, are problemat leal.

It Is definitely known, lurwever, that a called meeting of the board of deacons Is scheduled for-to night and Inasmuch as one of the church deacons, when asked why the extra session was called, as serted that "that was none of the Statesman's business." there seems to be some grounds for rumors. Neither of the two other dea cons called upon the matter would give any reason for the meeting tonight. YET H COVERED Vheld here Tuesday between Barry Smith, director of the Commonwealth Fund, Dr. W. Morse of Salem, president of the state board of health. Dr. Warner and Dr. Strieker. Health Work Done On Extensive Scale The health program is the most gigantic piece of public health work attempted In this county and a result of the demonstration and other health work carried on by the Commonwealth Fund, which on January 1. closed Us five-year health demonstration in Marion county. The health work done In Mar lon county and the fact that the Commonwealth Fund is more than ordinarily familiar with the health situation In Oregon, leads the health leaders of this state to be hopeful that Oregon will be chosen for the program. Two states will be chosen this year for the work and probably a third In 931. Tennessee has already been designated as the first state. What the program consists of was outlined in a general manner by Dr. Warner. A subsidy of $25,000 or $30,000 to the state board of health for a field staff to help build and maintain a uni form standard of health work over the state; a concentrated handling of health program In two counties at a time on a basis similar to the Marlon county health unit. Also a subsidy of $25,000 or $30,000 will be made to the University of Oregon medi cal school for developing preven tive medicine and to allow short post graduate courses for physi cians already in practice. A large educational provision Is also a feature of the stats pro gram, with 15 scholarships to be given yearly to physicians, two to educators and three to nurses; and five student loan grants to medical students who plan later to practice in the rural medical field. Of the 15 scholarships to physicians, five will go to each county in which the concentrated program is working for that year, and five to the state at large. Whether or not Oregon will be the chosen state will not be known until Dr. William E. French,' head of the division of public health for the Commonwealth Fund, visits this state late in the summer or early In the fall to gain further knowledge of Oregon's fitness for the large program. TILL ROM CLEARED Some persons living on the rur al mail routes out from Salem have mall waiting for them, and have had for a few days. And both the mail and the patrons will be waiting until the patrons in question get busy and clear the snow away from their mail boxes. That is the word from mail car riers at the postoffice, who ask that every rural patron who has not already done so see that snow is cleaned away from the box suf ficient to permit the carrier to drive np to the box. While not all have done so. few of the carriers have found It necessary to return to the post- office with undelivered letters be cause they could not conveniently reach the patron's mall box. Oth er carriers have ploughed through the snow now and then to c'eliver mail, even though the postoffice orders are that mall need not be delivered unless the box site is fairly free of snow.
