Tuesday (AP) A general strike, as labor's answer to Adolf Hitler's coming into power, was advocated today by the communist organ Rote Fahne, which said that rep resentatives and workers' councils of 2000 organizations had resolv ed to agitate for a strike. "Through force of a strike, the Kapp Putsch in 1920 (an anti- republlcan movement) tailed,' the workers resolution read. "So must Hitler's government tnm fcle." Socialists, on the other hand, are asking their members to keep cool, while Dr. Wilhelm Frlch, sew cabinet member and a' nasi lieutenant, said the government was prepared to take the sternest measures against a strike. Meanwhile, disorders occurred In many cities in Germany, even before the second day of Hitler's government dawned.

SALEM ME, PASSES OH An epidemic of measles Im pends over the north central sec tion of Salem centering around Highland and Grant schools, Dr. Vernon A. Douglas, city health of ficer, announced late yesterday. Grace Taylor, health nurse, re ported flurries of the disease in the primary grades of both schools. In a single room at Highland, IS pupils were taken ill with measles after exposure from one child. The proportion of cases at Grant was not so large. While quarantine is not being invoked, the patients are being isolated. Reason for rapid spread of the disease, according to Dr. Douglas, it that it is not recognizable in its early stage, the most contagious. Any child suffering from an acnte cold should be kept at home and in bed until cause of the ailment is determined, the doctor advised. Through administration of a new serum, young children m7 ers with him, "I regard the cabi net as peculiarly my own official family to be named only by me."

Sugges tion was made either that great er latitude be given by law to Judge, engaged in foreclosure proceedings or else that the leg islature, by resolution, ask Judges to demand that mortgagors and mortgagees have a hearing which would make proof mandatory that a mortgagee had not done everything within his power to pay, before a foreclosure could proceed. The message points out that while nothing can be done by law to affect the sanctity of con' tracts. In times of emergency re lief can he bad In the effecting of the remedy, mainly through equity proceedings in court. "There are and will continue to be instances where mortgages should be foreclosed," the gover nor's message recites, "where the mortgagor has permitted waste has abandoned the property or is making no effort to pay the debt On the other hand In possibly the vast majority of cases, the mortgagor is making a bona tide effort to comply with his con tract If ft Is possible to do so HOUSE GALLERY IS PACKED EOS REPEAL DEBATE Beckman Bill to Legalize And Control Beer h Arguments' Basis Trend of Last Vote Cited; Opponents Adopt Legal And Moral Stand FOR TIMETO VOTE Fails .to run Through its Calendar for First Time in Session For the first time since the ses sion opened, the house of repre sentatives yesterday was unable to complete its calendar, adjourn ing at 3 p. m. to make way tor important public committee hearings.

Discussion came in a pabUa hearing held in the house ehaas- bers which were packed, every, seat in the gallery being filled and a line of standinr listeners filling each aisle in the house. Measures under consideration by the committee were House bin 123, the so-called Beckman mea sure, to legalize and regulate the sale ot beer in the state, and bouse resolution calling for the submission of the state constitu tional amendment on prohibition to a popular vote. Representative Johnson presid ed at the session. Trend of Sentiment Proven by Figures Opening the argument for tha proponents of the Beckman mea sure and the house resolution. Representative Hall cited figarea on votes on the liquor quest! in the state, showing that tho last election showed a 20 per cent majority oirvoters for a change in the liquor laws. Serving as Introducer tor the remainder of the members, L.

Boyce, owner of ttto Portland hotel, declared geaeral sentiment was now against pro hibition and laid the origia of prohibition in religious aaf pseudo-moral motives. Katherine Gouley, daughter of Representative Gouley, of this county, presented a prepared statement seeking enactment of liquor legislation. Ben Osborne, representative of organized labor, said his sponsors had always opposed liquor legis lation and now sought the ear Der legalization of beer.

All. speakers at yesterday after noon's hearings urged adoption ot privilege tax on a gross revenue basis rather than on a millage rate per ton mile ot freight or per passenger seat. A srinclnal sneaker was Lee James ot th Consolidated Truck lines, who explained the provi sions of H. B. 113, the bill pre pared by the allied truck owners. This bill would levy a privilege tax ot 1 per cent on the gross earnings ot truck and bus lines. It would bring contract haulers under -the same regulation and expense. Mr. , Greenwood, operating a motor line from Portland to Mt. Hood, made a plea for H. B. 118 as protection' against contract haulers. A farmer, Mr. Ray, op posed any measure to put th con tract hauler out ot business and said he feared th big truck lines were trying to get a monopoly.
