Economic Side Stressed by
Keynoter Delzell at
County Meeting
John S. Marshall Reelected
Chairman; Attendance
Biggest in Years
Follower! of Thoriaa Jefferson
organized here yesterday for the
fall campaign and there was Tim
and optimism In the meeting,
notwithstanding Old Sol was
proving quite conclusively Thurs-
aay afternoon that he had not
vanished from the state.
The gathering of the demo
cratic faithful, according to B.
S. Martin who was reelected se
cretary, was the largest In 18
years and reflected the unusual
circumstance that 48 of the 7
precincts in the county had al
ready selected precinct commit
teemen. Nearly half the newly
elected democratic representa
tives were In attendance.
W. A. Delzell was the keynote
speaker.
"I have been a democrat for 40
years and this is the best year I
ever saw for victory," said Del
xell. "If any one tells you he Is
going to voU for Hoover, don't
argue with him. Just say that
if he's satisfied with things for
the last four years he should
rote for Hoover."
Economic Campaign
Issue is Stressed
Delzell said the backbone of
the campaign was an economic
one and that prohibition was
"a bone thrown to the dog so
fellows could go in and steal wa
termelons." The real issue lies
in the maladjustment of the
ownership of wealth; the constant
fight of the democratic party
aeainst renubllcan doctrine of
wealth's concentration, he as
serted. Not a dictatorship for the na
tion Is needed, Delzell declared,
nor is communism the cure-all,
but some middle-ground policy
where all men can work and
wher treat sums of wealth will
not be passed on from generation
to generation. ""
Delzell scored men who sup
ported the general sales tax. He
argued for the Increased inherit
ance levies and for the higher in
come taxes.
Speaking of his own primary
campaign, Delzell said he bad not
yet conceded the race to Harvey
Starkweather because the "Judges
had not yet picked the winner."
He then referred to the fact that
the official count was not yet re
ceived from Clackamas and Wash
ington counties.
John S. Marshall
Is Chairman Again
John S. Marshall of Salem was
reelected chairman of the county
commutes. Martin was reelected
secretaiy and W. C. Jones of Sa
lem was named treasurer. For
state central committeeman the
precinct representatives chose A.
M. Dalrymple of Salem while Hen
ry Morris of Salem was named
congressional committeeman. The
delegates Instructed the chairman
to choose a nomination committee
to fill the precinct vacancies and
also to choose an executive com
mittee to guard tbe county organ
ization between general meetings.
A series of meetings to be held
with democrats throughout the
county was tentatively agreed up
on. The nominating committee is
expected to choose some democrat
from the party organization as a
county candidate in the general
elections for county commissioner.
McMahan Asked

On Empire Case
No decision will be made on
whether or not I. H. Petty and

Mott stated yesterday that in

Johannson's House Partly
Wrecked but Nobody
Hurt in Blast
PORTLAND, Ore., June
(AP) The bombing of Rev.
BJorn J. Johannson's home here
early this morning was still a
complete mystery tonight to
Portland police.
An all day investigation by
city, county and state authorities
failed to disclose the identity of
the person or persons responsible
for the explosion which partly
wrecked the dwelling and en
dangered the lives of Rev. Mr.
Johannson, his wife and two
children.
Chief Deputy District Attorney
George Mowry was placed in
charge of the investigation,
which so far has yielded only
possible motives for the crime.
Rev. Mr. Johannson, leader in
the recent recall movement
against Mayor George L. Baker
and Commissioner John M. Mann,
told Mowry today he had also
been quietly collecting evidence
since last winter concerning vice
conditions In Portland, and on
several ocasions had been warn
ed or threatened.
The last threat, he said, was
made to L.. E. Sandblast, Port
land attorney, by telephone, and
included both himself and Mr.
Sandblast.
Police had not learned late
tonight the nature 'of the charge
set off, but assumed It was dy
namite. They found no trace or
a brown-colored sedan into which
they said a man was seen to leap
and race away from the scene
shortly after the detonation.
Rev. Mr. Johannson saia to
night the family will move back
into the residence as soon as re
pairs have been completed.
The investigation win continue
tomorrow.

To Figure, Asserts
BERLIN, June 9 (AP) The
determination of the new govern
ment of Chancellor Franx von
Papen to revise the German con
stitution was announced to the
Reichsrat today by the minister
of the interior, Wllhelm Von
Gayl.
The minister Insisted such re
vision would not In any sense re
store the monarchy.
(One competent authority re
cently said revisions of the Wei
mar constitution of 1919 creating
the German republic were inevi
table soon. These were listed as
creation of a single Reich parlia
ment; enlargement of the lowers
of the Reich as opposed to the
states; the construction of new
regions of suitable size, including
elimination of the 200-odd en
claves or sub-oivislons; ana re
form in Prussia.)
"The Weimar constitution,"
the minister said, "has been since
its inception frequently punctured
by legislation, and in the opinion
of most authorities, needs revi
sion.
"But I want to emphasize this:
the talk of revision, in the sense
of restoration of the monarchy, Is
foolish and harmful.
"True to my birth and train
ing, I am of the opinion that the
monarchy is the best form of gov
ernment for people who dwell In
the heart of Europe. I am for
ever mindful of the services ren
dered the nation by the former
imperial royal house.
"But I am convinced that this
is not a matter which ought to
occupy us now. I am utterly
against Introducing a new ele
ment of confusion."

Explosion in Carbonizer is

Greatly Damaged
Firemen Work Rapidly, Stop

Will be Delayed
Exploding shoddy in a carbon
izer machinA at the rear of the
Thomas Kay "Woolen mill early I
this morning started a fire which
resulted In a fully Insured loss es
timated at a minimum of--500
and a maximum depending upon
the amount of damage done to
the machine. This was the only
portion of the mill In operation 1
at the time ana only v. Brown
ing, operator of the machine and
watchman, was on duty.
. The explosion was caused by
combustion of the 80-pound
batch of oily shoddy a few min
utes after Browning had run it
Into the machine. The carbonizer,
steam heated, is used to burn the
cotton from the wool mixture.
Browning had Just started to
work on another machine when
he heard a shotgun-like report
and saw flames shoot out of the
carbonizer. He turned in the fire
alarm, then went at the fire with
a 50-gallon extinguisher.
When firemen arrived, flames
were shooting out through a vent
in the roof and from the top of
the machine. Torrents of water
were poured on the roof while
the blaze was being attacked from
Inside. Work of the firefighters
was aided by a sprinkler system.
The flames were quelled within
half an hour.
That the fire did no more dam
age to the building and nearby
machinery was due to the large
vent pipe running from the car
bonizer top through the roof. It
carried off the heat and flames
to a large extent.
The wool shoddy destroyed
amounted to, only around $10.
The greatest loss will be from
the machine, which probably will
have to be dismantled and thor
oughly cleaned to rid it of the
burned wool odor, according to
one of the mill employes. Floor
ing under the machine was
burned.
With this machine out of use,
operations at the mill will be
considerably slowed up, It was
said. The old carbonizer, which
was put In use immediately after
the fire, operates more slowly
than the newer steel machine.
At least three similar fires
have occurred at the Kay mill in
the past several years. The last
one, before this morning's, took
place about two years ago. Em
ployes were of the opinion that
this morning's fire was the worst
in recent years.

Roosevelt to Defer
Ruling Upon Walker;

Incidentally Democratic
Well on its way Before He Acts;
Removal Demands Growing
(Copyrighted, 1932, The Associated Press)
ALBANY, N. Y., June 9 ( AP) Governor Roosevelt to
night began a two to three week task of reading the Hof
stadter investigation record on which Samuel Seabuiy bases
his arguments for the removal of James J. Walker, Tam
many mayor of New York City.
In the light of Mr. Roosevelt's remark today, "it is of
course necessary to check all theO
testimony with the allegations."
It is probable the democratic na
tional convention will be in ses
sion at Chicago before the gov
ernor completes a scrutiny of the
600,000 words of testimony.
As the governor began turning
the pages of the first of the eight
rolumes of questions and answers
which Seabury, counsel for the
legislative investigators, laid be
fore Roosevelt last night, word
came from New York that several
reform organizations would pre
fer charges against Walker. Sea
bury's "analysis" of the testimony
held Walker unfit to continue as
mayor, but did not ask that he
be removed.
Roosevelt, however, said the
Seabury letter and analysis con
stitute charges adding "I see no
reason for quibbling over terms."

DETROIT, June 9 (AP) A
nationwide search for Harry FTei

wanted for questioning In the

came to a close today when Flei
sher, pale and 'nervous, walked
Into police headquarters and gave
himself up.
He refused to talk, answering
all questions with a shrug of the
shoulders but his attorney, Ed
ward H. Kennedy, Jr., declared
emphatically Fleisher had "abso
lutely nothing to do with the
Lindbergh case."
"Those people who Identified
Flelsber's picture in the Lind
bergh case apparently identified
I doubles, if anyone at all," tbe at
torney said.
"Fleisher had absolutely noth
ing to do with it. He realized that
he was in a tough situation, par
ticularly after he was so promi
nently mentioned in the Lind
bergh case, and he concealed him
self until he was in a position to
prove his Innocence in all these
matters."
Fleisher was placed in a cell to
await arraignment tomorrow on
a year-old warrant charging him
with complicity in a gang killing
here last year.

An assertion that the "stop-Roo

national convention already is
doomed to failure was nrade to

nomination.
The governor's field marshal maicing as chairman or the con
not only reiterated his prediction mission. He is generally regard-
of a first-ballot nomination, but
made what he called "an ex-
tremely conservative estimate" I
that Roosevelt would defeat Pre
sident Hoover almost 2 to 1 In
November.
"He (Roosevelt) will have no i
less than 345 votes when the
electoral college assembles," Far
ley said.
This leaves only 18 of the 531
electoral total, and the Roose-
velt leader actually concedes only
a part of that block to the pre
sident in the event he and Roose
velt are opponents.
Farley said the search ror a
formidable rival for Roosevelt In
the pre-convention campaign had
been abandoned long ago; that a
majority of the favorite son can
didates have agreed not to block
anv maloritr choice, and that
Missouri and Illinois, "while hav
ing favorite sons, are known to
be favorable to Roosevelt as their
second choice.'

Variance of Opinion 0verr
Highway Relief Work
Apparent Cause
Meier Reported as Backing
Move for Extensive
Bond Flotation
PORTLAND, Ore., June 9.
(AP) Leslie M. Scott, chairman
of the state highway commission,
submitted his resignation to Gov
ernor Julius L. Meier today, them
withdrew it when the executive
showed his unwillingness to ac
cept it.
The governor from his summer
home at Corbett said he had had
a conference with Scott and that
Scott would remain. The reasoa
for Scott's submission of his res
ignation was not explained, but
was believed to have been occa
sioned by agitation for bonds for
emergency relief, against which
the chairman has repeatedly ex
pressed himself.
Lauds Administration
Of Present Chairman
This was the first time I had
seen his preferred resignation.
Governor Meier said. "Upon fts
withdrew his resignation and I
am glad to announce he is re-
ed as the best highway chairman
we've ever had since the commie-
sion plan was adopted but there
is not need to go into eulogies.
for everyone knows how conscien
tious he has been in his office, de
voting day and night to state
highway work."
Chairman Scott would make
statement upon his return to
Portland following the confer-
ence, which was also attended sy
Carl G. Washburne, of Eugene,
and E. B. Aldrich, of Pendietoa,
the other two commissioners.
The resignation offer seeming
ly followed agitation of tbe pen
ile relations committee of tie
Multnomah county civic emergen
cy group to get the highway com
mission to re-establish emergency
relief work in this county. Tan
commission abandoned this type
of work last April, holding that
it was not efficient and that state
finances could not stand the
strain.
Unofficial reports current
terday in Salem attributed to Gov
ernor Julius L. Meier a forthcom
ing proposal at the state highway
commission's meet today for n
82,000,000 bond issue to provide
work for unemployed in Oregon tn
the winter of 1932-33. The gover
nor's office here had no informa-
tlon on the proposal and Governor
Meier could not be reached yester
day in Portland for a statement.
It is known that there is an ap
parent difference in views between
Governor Meier and Leslie m.
Scott, state highway commlssioa-
er, the latter having consistently
opposed the issuance pf further
I bonds for relief work. He haa
stated that the state should seek
to reduce rather than augmest
Its road Indebtedness. He has
also declared relief road work tn-
efficient.
The governor's plan is said tn
include payment of exceedingly
small wages and the establish
ment of camps where men could
be housed and led during t
winter.
