ago, was killed In a fierce ran
battle with deputy sheriffs' near
West Fir today.
Sutherland was surprised in a
. timber lair he had used as sleep
ing quarters. He began shooting
at the deputies as soon as he' saw
them. The deputies- poured a
withering fire into the lean-to
Sutherland had constructed and
, called upon him to surrender. He
replied with bullets, none of
which took effect..
John Carlile, leader of the pos
se, and his son, Lester, approach
ed the lean-to while the -other
memberseof the posse kept up a
steady fire to prevent Sutherland
from taking careful aim. Several
bullets struck Sutherland, the of
ficers said, one disabling his right
arm. As the two officers ap
proached he tnrned his gun on
them with his left arm and fired
point blank. The shots went wild

The central states had not yet
recovered from the cold snap that
headed for the Atlantic coast
when another one swept In from

and a more general snowfall.
Temperatures considerably be
low normal and a steady snow
fall spread over most of the re

sippi and Missouri valleys and the
great lakes. High winds in the
western portion of the area made
up for any lack of snow.
The weather bureau expected
the cold to last until after the

dicted that the snow would stop
sometime tomorrow.

FARMERS' WISH
McNafy Joins With Lead
ers' Program for Giving
' Rest Half Billion
Tabler, Grange Head, Says
Debenture Plan Will
Be Raised Again
By HAROLD D. OLIVER
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25
(AP) Leaders of three national
farm organizations urged the
senate agriculture committee to
day to refrain from attempts to
amend the farm marketing act
at the short session of congress.
but to give the farm board an ad
ditional 1250,000,000 to carry on
its price and marketing stabiliza
tion operations next year.
The testimony of the agricul
tural chiefs concluded a two-day
hearing to determine the senti
ment for additional farm relief
measures. Chairman McNary said
he would favor giving the board
the entire $250,000,000 remain
ing of the original half billion
authorization. He called a meet
ing of the committee for next
week to determine that point.
S. H. Thompson, president of
the American farm bureau feder
atlon; L. J. Taber, master of the
national grange, and C. E. Huff
for the National Farmers' union,
said they would back the farm
board to the limit. Tabler, how
ever, said this did not mean his
organization was sidetracking its
favorite plan the export deben
ture and he believed it would
be revived In the senate at the
short session.
Yesterday the committee heard
Secretary Hyde and Chairman
Legge of the farm board.
Organizations Want to
Curb Short Selling
The farm organizaitons went
on, record for legislation to curb
short selling in cotton and grain
futures but still permitting what
they termed 'legitimate hedg
ing." In. this connection Chairman
Legge pointed out that wheat
sales last year amounted to 16,
000.000.000 bushels but that
only 800,000,000 bushels were
produced.
The committee was informed
that foreign countries were
watching "with an eagle eye" for
indications of what the farm
board intends to do with Its
more than 100,000,000 bushels
of wheat holdings.
The general understanding ap
peared to be that the board
would not dispose of any of the
wheat at this time In foreign
markets because of fears of what
one committeeman termed "re
taliatory measures."

TOKYO, Nov. 26 (Wednesday) ( AP) An earth

northern portion of the beautiful Izu peninsula early today
with the toll and injured mounting; steadily as fragments of
the disaster story emerged from the stricken area.
The chief of police of Shizuoka prefecture, j which in
cludes the Izu peninsula, estimated the quake dead at be
tween 100 and 150 while the number of injured was likely
to bring the total casualties to 900. 1
The chief of police at Numazu, however, reported 165
dead in the Numazu police district alone, including 37 killed
at Nirayama, eight miles southeast of Mishima.
An accurate tally of. the dead was impossible owing to

$8000 tor Health Work to

The Salem city school board
stands by its original action, in

continue Its $8,000 appropriation
for the Marlon county health unit.
Sentiment to that effect was
evident at the board meeting last
night, despite fact that the Salem
city council budget committee the
previous night lopped $2,000
from Its health budget Item for
this year, and despite the fact
that it Is generally believed the
county court will follow action of
the council budget group.
Members of the school board
board expressed themselves as
satisfied that they were getting
full return in safeguard to chil
dren's health on the money In
vested In tbe health, unit. With
the school board contributing the
full quota asked for, land the city
cutting- down, it was consensus of
opinion among the board mem

proportionately more service. The

Letter to that effect, bearing
New York date of November 20,
was received Tuesday by the
county - Judge from Barry C.

asmuch as it was mailed before
the city council reduced Its ap

did not prompt the Common-,

ment, signed January 21, 1939.
under terms of which the Fund
promised to contribute $6,500 for
1931 If the total budget of $36,
250 additional be supplied by tbe
local contributing agencies.
Siegmund Withhold Comment
Pending Time to Study Proposal -
Judge Siegmund was in the
county on road inspection trip all
day Tuesday, and was not pre
pared to make any statement on
content of the letter last night.
The letter says In parti
"The Commonwealth Fund has
today taken certain actions modi
fying this agreement as follows:
"1. For the year 1931 the Com
monwealth Fund will contribute
$6500 to the' work of the Marion
county health unit provided there
be no decrease from the total ap
propriated for 1930, In the total
apprapriationa made by local ap
propriating bodies for 1931.
"2. For the year 1932 the Com
monwealth Fund will match dol
lar for' dollar, up to a total of
$6,500, any increase made by the
appropriating bodies of Marion
county above the totals appropri
ated by them in 1931.
"3. After 1932, the Common
wealth Fund will make no further
appropriations to the health usit
of Marlon county.
"The first of the above action
has been taken because, in our
judgment, recent publicity has
tended to place Marlon county la
tbe unfortunate position of being
responsible for a decision of the
Commonwealth , Fund with refer
ence to the awarding of the
Fund's new public Wealth pro-
gram to the state of Oregon. We
wish ta be fair in this matter,
and it has not, at any time, been
our intention that actfcm in Mar
ion county should be forced by
any consideration as to the
awarding of the program to tht
state." 1
No State Expenditure

The letter further points out
that on that date definite action
was .taken on the new public
health program, which will not
come to Oregon for 1931, no mat
ter what-action be taken by Mar
lon county.
