EIGHTY-SECOND. YEAR . Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning:, August 23, 1932 WAN IN BAD SPOT; WIAlf TRY TO BACK PEDAL Avows all is Rosy Between Himself and Governor; Break Inevitable Silence on Chancellorship Hurting Colleges and Helping Merger By SHELDON F. SACKETT There Is much heat and hu midity In state capltol politics and it will be odd if more thun der and lightning are not seen daring the forthcoming week:. The Holman-Einzig affair, while only a bit of stage play and comic opera to many onlookers, is in reality the beginning of the end of all signs of harmony be tween Governor Meier and his Bull Frog appointee, the state treasurer. The governor, beyond showing his irritation towards Holman in n short Interview in Portland on Friday, has not spoken his mind on the affair but it is known that his loyalty is all with Einxig whom he considers capable and efficient and his animus has been heightened to his state treasurer whom he considers meddlesome and a trouble-maker. As quickly as Holman, who threw down the gauntlet by de manding Einzig's resignation, suw how irked the chief execu tlve was and saw how facts about Holman's own department mlpht be waved aloft, he rushed into print with a statement that all was well between Governor Meier and himself and that "charges of a rift were ridiculous." But no . amount of back-pedaling can prevent the clash' between the two men. Within the week the nubile may expect that there will be thunder bolts of criticism hurled at Holman, at his political activities in state purchasing, at his housing of friends in state .a. i 1 A t it institutions ana otner acuviuw the state treasurer does not hke .fi .

Trubee Davi sop, assistant secretary of war, that many'of the discharge papers carried by members of the Wash ington bonus army bad been forg ed by a communist press, disrupt ed the state convention of the Am erican Legion temporarily today. In a mixture of boos, hisses, cheers and applause, the dele gates made so much noise that Davison was unable to continue for several minutes. He also was interrupted frequently during the remainder of the speech. State . Commander Moses G. Hubbard pleaded for "fair play' and threatened several times to call in police to keep order. The assistant secretary of war, who is also a candidate for the republl can nomination for governor of New York, was applauded as he finished. The state organization finally voted, 499 to 138, in favor of im- ediate payments of the bonus. Davison told the Legionaires that President Hoover averted a serious disturbance by sending army troops to disperse the strag glers of the bonus expeditionary forces. "If Mr. Hoover's capacity for quick decision had not provided troops, the loss of life, suffering and destruction of property would have been appaling," he said. 22 Arrested on Liquor.

DUFFT WASHINGTON. Aug. 27 (AP) How decisive a role will be accorded the prohibition dis pute ln the presidential cam paign depends ln a measure on the way the Hoover-Curtis work ers come back at Franklin D. Roosevelt's speech today in New Jersey. While President Hoover has held himself aloof from the warming np political arguments, various of the republican main stays have been anything but backward with challenge and re tort to the assaults of the demo cratic nominee. In the last weeks Secretaries Ogden Mills and Patrick J. Hur ley have borne the oratorical brunt for the administration; but whether other such rejoinders as were made to the Roosevelt speech ln Ohio will be made to the latest remains to be seen. The president will be closely following the business rehabilita tion plans projected at the non- partisan meeting sponsored by . him here this week Roosevelt Proceeds With Walker Case In Albany, the governor will go ahead with the hearings in ' the Mayor Walker case. Today's immense gathering at Seagirt signalled the rapproche ment between the Nejr York gov ernor and Mayor Frank Hague, of Jersey City. Early in the week Senator David I. Walshof Mas sachusetts had put himself at the disposal of the Roosevelt managers; but there Is yet no Indication that Alfred E. Smith, whom both Hague and Walsh supported for the nomination, will actively . campaign for the party ticket. On the republican side, leaders are awaiting the return from the Philippines of Governor Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., for the part he will take in the campaign against his distant relative. The repub licans have been at some pains to dispel misconceptions as to the relationship between Franklin Roosevelt and the 'amous "Ted- dy." ELLIS, PIONEER OF OREGON, IS CALLED PORTLAND, Aug. 27.
