Resolutions were passed ex tending appreciation of the Ore gon conference to President Hoorer, to Secretary Wilbur, Governor Meier, MrsI 5adit Orr Dunbar and to . th press of the state for the encouragement and cooperation and leadership that have been extended. A second resolution, also pas sed unanimously, requests Gov ernor Meier "to appoint a contin uation committee to keep in mo tion the machinery of the confer ence and to further county con- ferences. Sectional recommendations as Presented were remarkably uni form in several reppects.: Again and again came the suggestion that the state health department be strengthened with sufficient technical aid so that the super vision of health activities' might be carried into each county by a full time working unit in each. The establishment of a state de partment of public welfare to aid in unification of all public and private organizations so that the aims of all might be more, quick ly and more efficiently attained was also embodied in many of the sectional reports. As a part of this work a traveling men tar-hygiene clinic, to aid in the treat ment and rehabilitation of border line psychiatric cases at home was urged. The recently organized Oregon Mental Hygiene society was mentioned as the leader in , this particular piece of work. ' ' Parenthood Study ' Groups are Favored T r ai n i n g for parenthood through existing agencies, and through study groups was an other of the frequently reiterated objects much to be desired. This training, as suggested, would. be gin in secondary schools and be carried on through colleges, uni- versities and extentlon classes, to and Including groups of those al ready parents. As a part of this a thorough and scientific course in sources of sex information and . education were Included as an es sential factor.

The mid-day luncheon address. by Dr. B. W. Warrington, head of the department of religion, Ore gon State college, presented a brief discussion of the problems to be met In developing in the child a rich spiritual life. "There is no substitute for the . home, the parent, or for religion r at a way ot life," said Dr. War rington, who went on to enumer ate spiritual qualities of chil dren's need. The aim of religious education, he said, should be to develop a sense ot discrimination . In making right choices, a sense of self discipline, of reverence, of appreciation of goodness, and of - the Joy of righteousness. Imag- " inatlon, humor and poise were also mentioned as spiritual char act eristics sometimes neglected by religious teachers. - . .; In recommendations presented to the conference was included one requesting the state depart ment of education to set up stand ards for week day religious schools, to cover not only work A among small children,' but those of high school age as well. Roosevelt Slight Lead Gmifomiti Primary Los Angeles Goes for Garner, San Francisco I For Smith, Rural Sections Champion New York Governor s Cause SAN FRANCISCO, May 3 (AP) The forces of Franklin D. Roosevelt tield a precarious lead on the democratic side of California's presidential primary returns late tonight with Alfred E. Smith running; a close second and with many votes yet to be counted in Los Angeles county, the stronghold of Speaker John N. Garner. Returns from 3,140 preclnctsO "' complete, out of 10,271 gave the New Yerk governor 51,858; Smith 49,264 and Garner 44,391. These returns included 900 of San Francisco's 1080 vreclncts where Smith ran strong, but only 352 precincts out of the'3,278 1n Los Angeles county, where the Texan was' getting a clear major ity over'nis two opponents. At midnight none of the sup porters of the contestants at their local headquarters was willinr to concede the possibility of defeat. Each claimed its slate of dele gates still was in the running. The Los Angeles figures avail able at that time showed Garner had about 12,000 of the approx imately 20,000 votes counted. with Roosevelt having a slight ad-, vantage in the division of the re maining ballots with Smith. Returns from the rural sec tions of the central and northern parts of the state gave Roosevelt the advantage but Garner's sup porters were looking to the large uncounted Los Angeles vote to counteract this.

As sent to the senate by the overwhelming vote of SIC to 67 the bill carried savings liberally estimated by the economy com mittee at $42,300,000, as com pared to the 8210,000,000 It pro posed to cut from government costs. t It was tacked onto the $20, 000,000 legislative supply bill as a rider, after having been beaten and battered by a roaring and re volting house for nearly a week. The measure contained numer ous suggestions submitted to the house economy committee by President Hoover in his "national economy bill" program. Many- of them, as well as those of the com mittee, Including the Hoover stag gering plan ot employment and the proposed decrease in veterans benefits, were swept out by the powerful coalition. The tax bill now pending in the senate was intended to balance the budget for the fiscal year 1933 with the help of approxi mately $200,000,000 in reduction of federal expenditures. The sen ate finance committee is endeav oring to find new sources of rev enue to make up the difference. POLICE JUDGE HELD T KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., May 3 (AP) The city audit, filed with the city cluncil last night, showed an alleged shortage of $2294.50 in turnovers to the city treasurer by Police Judge Roy Fouch.

A record of fines and ball handled through the police office was kept by that department, the audit report said. "A comparison of these amounts shown by the police department in their police arrest docket and the police Judge on the municipal docket with those ot the receipts issued by the cashier to the police Judge, indicates that the police judge received fines and ball to the amount of $2294.50 which did not find Its way to the city treas urer by March 19, 1932." the re port said.

The rang leader who must serve an 11 year sentence for In come tax violation, was escorted from the Jail entrance to one ot a caravan of police cars waiting at the curb. The convoy sped swiftly through loop streets to the Dear born street Station, arriving a full hour before the departure ot the Atlanta-bound C. and E. I. train. Capone,- smiling broadly, was wlskered into the Atlanta car. "I'm' glad to get started," were the gang leader's only words as he boarded the train. In contrast to a sulien, savage mood Just before being taken from his Jail cell, the massive de throned gang leader appeared cheerful aa he began his Journey to eleven years of confinement. He posed tor photographs cheerfully. Federal officials were so suc cessful in shrouding the depart ure of the gangster with secrecy, that few persons were on hand when he arrived at the station. Rehearsed In their roles to pre vent any last minute effort to free Capone, the police and feder al officers swung swiftly into an impregnable escort. On th train with Capone was United States Marshal H. C. W. Laubenhelmer, five deputy mar shals and two railroad detectives. The train is due in Atlanta at 6:30 p. m., tomorrow.
