LA GRANDE, Ore., Jan. 31. (AP) The last day of January brought the heaviest snowstorm of the winter to the. Grande Ronde valley today. More than six inches f snow covered the ground and the flakes were still falling. The snow was welcomed by farmers because of the lack of the usual moisture here this winter. Snow Blows kept all state high ways open without difficulty. GRANTS PASS. Ore.. Jan. SI.

' - TO H Sill VISITS EASTF1 OREGOH Technocrats Split; Question is, Which Basket Contains the Ergs? 1 0H RATTENSta-iEH As if ho hadn't enough to worry about before, poxaling out what the whole thing is about, the poor layman who likes to believe thai someone is working for hia welfare apart from himself find himself in a denser fog than ever aa a result of the recent split in the ranks of technocracy. Since Howard Scott, erstwhile high priest of the Technocrats, and hia former lieutenant, Dr. Walter Bnatenstrauch, decided to go their separate ways, the man in the street baa been in a fever of indecision aa to which he ought to follow. For he was promised ergs, the monetary unit that would displace the dollar under technocracy, and it la but natural that he should want to string along with the aide which will supply erg of kilowatts or anything else he can use for money. Dr. Ran tenstranch has announced that he and his associates win contin ue their research work at Columbia university; while Scott also tells the world that he will carry on. So far, all the layman knows about technocracy is that it told him something he had been tell ing himself for ages in simpler language that horse power has displaced man power. But he became Interested in the new way of telling the story because the tellers promised a remedy. They said that by regulating production and applying the scientific dis coveries to the law of supply and demand they can rearrange the economic structure in such a manner aa to assure every man, be tween the ages of 2& and 43, of an income equivalent to $20,000 a year. It is very obvious that John Q. Public will cheer himself hoarse for the bunch who makes good on that promise. But there's the rub, John Q. can't decide who's going to be Santa Clans. iToimi DISTRICTS IS PLEA Moratorkim for one Year To Help U. S.

GRANGE POWER PLAN OUTLINED TO C01ITTEE Members Back Bill to put Amendment Into Effect; Opposition Appears Placing of Heavy Load of Debt Upon State Cited As Harm to Credit Representatives of the state grange last night outlined their program for putting into effect the grange power amendment adopted at the last election, at a public hearing before the Joint committee on utilities, presided over by Senator Burke.

Further bond issues np to per cent of the assessed valuation would have to bo voted by the people. Representative John H. Lewis outlined his bill, H. B. 99, which calls for immediate organization and would empower the commis sion to issue bonds without fur ther vote of the people. This dif ference caused some clash In the public hearing. Lewis pleaded for development in order to attract Industries.

With a debt bur den of over $200 per capita, one of the largest of any state, he urg ed that the state be plunged no further In debt.

The letter was in line with action taken throughout the middlewest this week by a group of large life Insurance com panies. After League Abandons it; New Withdrawal Threat Made at Same Time TOKYO. Feb. 1 ( AP) An of ficial' spokesman indicated today that Japan has withdrawn certain objection to the League of Na tions formula for conciliation of the Manchurlan dispute and would make new proposals for a settle ment on that basis. (The league already had aban doned efforts at conciliation as set forth in article 15, paragraph S, ot the covenant, proceeding to action under paragraph 4 of the same ar ticle. This provides that the league publish a report on the dispute and recommendations for league action. A special nine-power com mittee at Geneva has held several meetings already, drawing up the report and recommendations.) A Japanese foreign office spokesman said: "We are not hopeful that the league will accept our terms. It they are refused, application of paragraph 4 Is inevitable. The na ture of the report under that para graph will determine whether Ja pan will withdraw from tbe league. "In view ot the present atmos phere at Geneva, it seems likely Japan will be compelled to with draw,' he declared.

F IS Oregon Sixth State Giving Approval; Farmer are Opposed, Reported Passage by the house Tuesday of senate Joint resolution 10 rat ifying the child labor amendment to the federal constitution made Oregon the sixth state in the na tion to approve the amendment Its final inclusion in the federal constitution, however, is extreme ly doubtful since one or . both houses In 36 states have refused to ratify the amendment. Thirty-eight house members voted for ratification; 22 opposed it, "no" voters being -largely rep resentatives of rural districts who viewed the child labor amend ment prejudicial to agriculture inasmuch as the constitution en ables restriction and prohibition of child labor under 18 years. Representative Nichols scored the resolution claiming It would make it impossible for farmers to harvest their crops. Represen tatlve Hilton declared congress would do nothing to make it im possible for farmers to operate. Hilton took occasion to score C. C. Chapman, Voter editor, for alleg edly misleading statements, in i sarcastic address which brought laughter from the members.

Bashnell, city building in spector, announced last night. Last month 28 permits with total value of $7147 were taken out. la element weather was considered one of the major causes for the decrease. In value, repair work started last month outstripped January, 1S32, by $280 with a total of $5750 for the 24 permits. New construction decreased from $S890 In 1132 to $1397 last month. and combination hunting and angling licenses from $5 to $3.

That a decision regarding any reduction which the Joint com mittee will recommend in connec tion with the educational Institu tions' revenues will be reached to day, was indicated Tuesday night after a subcommittee had spnt more than three hours wreatHi with the higher educational sit uation. Adjournment was taken at the reqiiest of Representative Carlo Abrams, who said he desired to give the budget of the state board of higher education further study. Abrams declared that he would be ready to make his position knoa at a meeting to be held this aft ernoon. Closing of Some Institutions Feared Seriousness of any further re ductions in the higher education al budget was stressed by E. C Sammons, chairman of the fi nance committee of the state board of higher education. Sam mons declared that in ca?e it was decided to reduce thd budget by a million dollars, as proposed by Senator Woodward, it would be necessary to close either the Uni versity of Oregon, the state col lege or the group of instl.utions ' including the Dornbecker hospit al, university medical school and the three state normal institu tions. Sammon's remarks followed a motion by Senator Woodward that 25 per cent of the higher education millage tax, aggregat ing $1,000,000 for the current two years period, be diverted to the general fund of the state, and that th continuing appropriations of $308,000 be left intact. Wood ward added that he would faver legislation making the continuing appropriations more flexible. Representative Gordon pre viously asked Sammons the ex treme amount ot reductions tbe board would consider reasonable.1 Sammons replied that the board had submitted what it considered an honest budget, and that furth er reductions would play havoc with the future of the higher edu cational system. He said the high er educational system already had been subjected to cuts ot 32 per cent, whleh were in excess to those Imposed on other state de partments and institutions. He de clared that in event an additional million dollars was lopped off tbe budget, salary reductions as high as 8 per cent would bo necessary. Compromise plan I Advanced by Staple Senator Staples suggested that the millage levy for the higher educational Institutions be made to absorb the continuing appro prlatlons ef $308,000. but that ae attempt be made to divert any part of the millage tax to the general fund. Representative Walker then moved: That $50,000 appropriated by the 1931 legislature tor an in firmary at the University ot Ore gon and $50,000 for the erection of a training school at La Grane be diverted to the general fund. That the continuing appropria tions of $308,000 be reduced by $50,000.
