The hearing before the senate banking and currency committee into

from Italy, is conducting the Investigation. The Morgan partners,
who include Thomas W. Lamont and other prominent figures, are

1NEYBILL FILED
Would Raise Them to Same
Standing as Gold; Some
Opposition Sighted
WASHINGTON, May 26. (AP)
The administration moved today
to elevate silver and paper money
to the same legal standing as gold.
A bill sent to congress by the
treasury was started on its way
toward passage in both house and
senate. It is designed to authorize
the use of legal tender money in
the fulfillment of all existing and
future contracts, private and in
ternational.
The measure brought an Imme
diate assertion from Senator
Glass (D., Va.) that the measure
would be held unconstitutional "if
there Is any integrity left in the
courts with regard to the sanctity
of contracts."
It was described by President
Roosevelt as simply designed to
legalize an slready existing fact
since the united States went off
the gold standard in effect by the
imposition of the recent gold em
bargo and the issuance of the
presidential order calling In gold
held by private citizens.
Few congressional leaders would
comment on the legislation with
out further study, but Senator Mc
Nary, the republican leader, pre
dicted It would meet with opposi
tion "because of the retroactive
feature."

Upturn in Lumber Market
Causes Decision; Rate
Case Also Factor
Improvement and Repairs
Planned; Shutdown is
Longest on Record
Increasing upturns in the lum
ber market added to reduction in
rail rates granted this month to
the Spaulding Logging company
mean the early reopening of that
company, it was learned yester
day, unless the Valley ft Siletz
railroad or the Southern Pacific
railroad, against whom the rate
decreases were ordered, appeal
from the public utility commis
sioner's order.
Pending such a setback, mill
officials think the local mill may
be started again by August 1, al
though a definite opening date
has not been agreed upon. About
300 men are employed here when
the mill operates full schedule.
All but 20 of these have been
out of employment at the mill
since it closed down February
13. 1931, the shutdown being the
lougest in the history of the
Spaulding mill, which in the 24
years preceding the current shut
down, had not failed to operate
for more than a 21-day period.
Repair, Improvement
At Mill Contemplated
If the mill reopens, consider
able repair and improvement
will be made to the plant here.
One addition contemplated is a
new and larger sorting table
which would facilitate and make
more efficient the handling of
the sawed lumber.
Recent advances in the whole
sale price of lumber are said to
average 1.50 a thousand board
feet. The local mill, if the new
rates are made effective, will
also benefit to the extent of
$1.50-1.76 a thousand In-getting
its logs to the mill from the
company's logging operations in
Polk county. These differences
in cost and price should make
the mill's operation possible, Its
operators think. The steady de
mand for the by-product fuel of
the mill here, when It operates.
also adds to its favorable chance
for operation.
Indefinite Time to
Appeal Is Allowed

which to file an appeal in the

EFFORT TO BLOCK
REPEAL VOTE IDE
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.
(AP) In an effort to block
the California vote Jane 27 on
prohibition repeal, Richard M.
Cannon, son of Bishop James
Cannon, Jr., and three other Los
Angeles voters appealed to the
state supreme court today for
an order to have names of spec
ial convention delegates remov
ed from the ballots.
Cannon, Frank Q. H. Stevens,
Robert A. Gandy and Thurlow T.
Taft petitioned the court for a
writ of mandamus ordering Wil
liam H. Kerr, registrar of voters
in Los Angeles county, to have
ballots printed without names of
candidates for delegates to the
special convention "purported to
be called" by state statute. j
The petition sets forth the con
tention that printing of the bal
lots, with candidates' names in
cluded, would be illegal and a
waste of money for Los Angeles
county.
It names 11 reasons why elec
tion of candidates would be il
legal, and attacks constitutional
ity of the state act which pro
vides for the holding of a spec
ial convention for vote on repeal
of the 18th amendment.
