At mid night the official thermometer stood at 21 degrees for the third hourly reading but by 1 a. m. to day dropped to 20 degrees. Hopes for the moderation in temperatures predicted by the weather bureau Saturday waned yesterday as the wind continued from the north, the sky remained dear and a thaw failed to mater ialize. The forecast for today and Wednesday still is "fair and con tinued cold". Mixed pleasure and trouble de rived from the prolonged cold spell over the weekend. While Ice skaters enjoyed their sport, rare here, and merchants did an un usually lively trading in blankets and ice skates, home owners and water company workmen contin ued having to thaw pipes and re pair breaks.

A large barge was towed to the Intake point to ward oft the ice floes. Minto slough was frozen solid, the eddy at its mouth was a spin ning mass of ice cakes.and down stream near Newberg an ice Jam was forming. Manager Arnold S. Johnson, of Salem Navigation company, reported. The water company was forced to employ a dozen men working three eight-hour shifts daily, Manager J. T. Delaney reported. The regular crew was rushed re pairing bursting mains and met ers, clearing the mill stream of Ice to prevent its overflowing, and breaking up Ice packs at the In verted siphons and at the genera tor plant intake. Skating Continues Leading Diversion Skating enthusiasts found many good sites for their sport. One of the best developed at the upper end of Minto slough where a wide atrip of smooth Ice, approximately a mile long, had formed. Other skating ponds were found near Hazelau station on the Oregon Electric line, on north Mill creek east of the 21st Street bridge, and in the vicinity of the state school for the deaf, and Painters woods. Coach Roy S. Keene, of Wlllam- ettte university, still was undecta ed last night as to flooding Sweet land field, as he hoped to do If the weather gave promise of re maining cold. If this were done. good night skating under the floodlights would be available. Added discomfort caused by the north wind was less yesterday. At I p. m. the velocity was only 10 miles per hour and by midnight was varying from two to six miles.

WELLER WASHINGTON. Dec. 12 (AP) A "decided turn" toward the voluntary domestic allotment plan at 11:30 o'clock tonight con vinced leaders of the national farm relief conference that the Jones bill would be enacted at the short session of congress. As Chairman Jones of the bouse agricultural committee out lined the proposal on which he hopes to win concerted farm sup port before its introduction, the voluntary allotment plan would he stripped of state and county committees set up to regulate lo cal acreages. For the 1933 crop It would em ploy provisions of the old Nor-beck-Ralney bill under which pro ducers would be issued redeem able treasury certificates approx imating the tariff on the domestic con8umotion percentage of the commoditv served. Measure Effective For Onlv Two Years For the following crop, certif icates would be issued only when 70 per cent of the producers en tered voluntary contracts to scale their acreage to supply ainl demand requirements as stipu lated by the department of agri culture. Onlv those who did enter into the contract and did not sub sequently abrogate it would be in cluded. The measure would be ef fective but for two years. The house committee will meet tomorrow to receive the report of the farm leaders. L. J. Taber, master of the na tional grange, said the conference would continue all r'ght if neces sary but that an s greement might be reached during the night. If submitted for the stabiliza tion clause of the agricultural marketing act the allotment plan would require the department of agriculture to estimate the 1938 production of wheat, cotton and tobacco, and the probable domes tic consumption and fix percent ages for home use and for ex port. Certificate Would be Funded by Rxcnse The percentages would be car ried on down to the individual producer who would receive nego tiable treasury certificates ap proximating the amount of the tariff on his domestic allotment In addition to the market price. under the current draft of the plan the certificates would be paid out of a fund ereated by a processor's excise tax equal to the tariff on wheat, cotton and to bacco manufactured for domestic consumption. The tax would be passed on the public in slightly higher costs of living. Bakery Employe Killed in Mixer PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 12 (AP) Michael Erndt.
