Letter to Kerr Intended as
Query Only; Gary Cleared
Of Personal Blame; Board
Members to be Away
DRY SLATES SHORT
ID 10 OF COUNTIES
"Let it die" was the blunt
counsel of Paul Jackson of Klam
ath Falls, president of the state
high school athletic association,
with reference to Salem's agita
tion against proposed removal of
the state high school basketball
tournament from Willamette to
the state university and state col
lege. Jackson and John Gary of
West Linn, secretary of the asso
ciation, . met with a committee
from the Salem chamber of com
merce who asked for the confer
ence, in the Portland hotel Satur
day afternoon.
"Nothing will be done about
deciding the tournament place
until fall," said Jackson. "I am
going to Stanford for the sum
mer. Gary will be away and Lan
dreth of Pendleton, the third
member of the board, is now in
the University of Chicago.
"The board has not decided to
move the tournament. Every year
people suggest to us to hold it
some place else, and the board
entertains .invitations. The Salem
people may he assured that noth
ing will he done about accepting
invitations without advising them
oMhe time for consideration."
Letter Intended Solely
as Inquiry on Policy
Jackson cleared up the matter
of the letter to Chancellor Kerr
which started the outburst when
the state board of higher educa
tion extended the Invitation to
meet in Eugene and Corvallis on
alternate years. He showed the
carbon copy of the letter and em
phasized the point that the letter
was dispatched by Secretary Gary
on the order of the board and not
on his individual initiative. He
wanted it understood that it was
unjust to give Gary a panning
for the letter which was ordered
by the board acting as a unit.
The letter was sent following
a meeting of the high school
board In Eugene at the time of
the track meet May 20. It related
that each year invitations were
presented to them for holding the
tournament, and that suggestions
had come to them for holding the
meet 'at the state schools where
there might be more ample seat
ing accommodations. It was es
sentially an Inquiry as to the at
titude of Chancellor Kerr on the
subject; so the high school board
could have the facts before it
when it considered the location
of the 1934 tournament. The let
ter expressed high, praise of Coach
Spec Keene's handling of the
tournament at Willamette.
No reply was received to the
letter; but when the state board
of higher education met Wednes
day on recommendation of the
chancellor an invitation was ex
tended. When Salem heard about
it war broke loose in these parts
and as the newspaper articles in
the Portland papers gave Gary
the "credit" tor starting the
move, resentment here was di
reeled against Gary. Jackson rei
terated that this was wrong be
cause Gary had acted under the
instruction of the whole board,
Tournament Handling
Here Highly Praised
Neither Jackson nor Gary of
iered any criticism of the way
the tournament had been handled
in the past nor of Salem's sup
port of the event. The only inci
dent which had created some fric
tion was last spring when receipts
were low on account of business
conditions Willamette made a re
quest that the university be per
mitted to keep the remainder af
ter payment of expenses, instead
of splitting as had been custom
ary. The amount Involved was
about 1300, and it was turned
over to the high school fund.
Jackson and Gary made It plain
however that no single Incident
of disagreement like that would
cause them to switch the tourna
ment; but otter considerations
such as convenience, financial
support, accessibility, and local
arrangements would govern.
The conference was entirely
friendly. The Salem group urged
the desire of the community to
- serve again as hosts to the tour
nament, and a willingness to co
operate in every way to make It
successful. Tfce men from here
were E. L. Welder. Roy S. Keene
and C A. Sprague.
NUNDATING fields, menacing stock and sending a gravel
digger crashing into one of the Marion-Polk county
bridge piers, the Willamette river rose suddenly Friday
night and yesterday to a top stage of 13.3 feet. This was the
highest the river has ever been in June, John M. Spong,
native Marion county riverman, and Captain F. Kruze of
-Othe Salem Vavlgatlon company s
steamer Stranger declared.
Serious damage to lowland
crops was feared by farmers,
though it was predicted the river
would not reach flood stage of 20
feet. The high water backed up
in MInto slough and the Old River
slough yesterday, covering low
portions of surrounding fields. A
flock of sheep on the point o(
Minto island, owned by D. C. Min
to, was rescued hurriedly in boats
yesterday morning.
Sometime Friday night the gra
vel digger and barge of the Day
ton Sand & Gravel company broke
away from its moorings on the
west side of the river above West
Salem and lodged against the inter-county
bridge. Only the barge
acting as buffer, prevented the
digger s capsizing in the swift cur
rent, observers asserted.
Early in the day steam pumps
were set going to prevent flooding
of both barge and digger and Iner
Mortensen of Stayton, who is said
to have an interest in the equip
ment, came to Salem to arrange, if
possible, to pull it away from the
bridge. The main boom 'of the
digger was jammed between
bridge girders.

Further statewide organization i

accomplished next week, when
members of the Salem unit go
into southern Oregon and eastern
Oregon to aid in starting units in
principal towns in those sections,
it was announced at the meeting
held at the chamber of commerce
yesterday.
About 150 men attended the
meeting, at which Otto K. Pau-
lus, Marlon county representative
and a member of the subcommit
tee which worked upon the bus
and truck bill which is target at
which the association is aiming,
was the main speaker.
Although no official announce
ment was made at the meeting
yesterday. It is understood tint
arrest as part of the association's
plan to test constitutionality of
the bus and truck act, or at least
the private carriers' part of it,
will come within the next day or
so.
Eugene, Albany, Corvallis and
Lebanon are already organized,
and Roseburg and Grants Pass
are both receptive, it was an
nounced yesterday.
Lobby of the railroads, abetted
by the attitude of the state high
way commission in constantly at
tempting to raise fees of the
trucking industry, helped put over
the bus and truck bill in its pres
ent form, Representative Paulus
in substance told the truck men
gathered yesterday. He decried
the highway commission's attitude
that the trucking industry had
added 22 per cent to construe
tion costs of highways.
He outlined in some detail the
committee work on the bus and
truck bill, and declared that when
he was making a fight against
the per ton mill basis because It
was entirely unfair, he gained
little outside support over the
rate to be charged.
Paulus told ' the truckmen he
believes there are constitutional
loop holes by which the private
carrier part of the act might be
broken.
Percy Cnpper, speaking later,
intimated he thought more than
the private carrier part could be
made Ineffective through consti
tutional attack.

(Turn to page 2, col. 4)
A special session of the Ore
gon legislature is possible, if not
probable, sometime this fall but
not for the reasons frequently as
signed by proponents of the sales
tax. '
The cause exists in the new at
titude of the federal government
toward the relief problems of the
48 states; an attitude already
made known to Raymond Wilcox,
head of Oregon's relief commit
tee. For the last eight months the
government has doled out its
funds to states in huge sums, al
most without regard to the steps
taken by the several states to
furnish their own funds for unemployed.
Hereafter, Wilcox has been In
formed, the federal government
is to give out no moneys except
as these funds are placed with
moneys raised by the states to
help their own unemployed or
where the states give ample proof
that they cannot raise another
cent to handle their own prob
lems. Over Three Million
Poured Into Oregon
In the last eight months, fed
eral funds totalling $3,100,000
have ben poured into Oregon
from Washington without any
match money being provided by
the state. Wilcox has held off the
federal demands for match mon
eys pending the legislative ses
sion's adjournment and after that
until the sales tax was voted upon
July 21. It will be recalled that
the legislature's only direct help
for unemployed at the last ses
sion was the appropriation of
$250,000 from sales tax revenues,
if and when these come In.
If the sales tax falls, the state
has three alternatives
1. To continue to importune
the federal government for relief
funds with decreasing likelihood
of getting them.
2. To decide Oregon's 40,000
unemployed can shift for them
selves, depending on reviving In
dustry and agricultural activities
to provide for them.
3. To call the legislature into
session to appropriate money to
match federal relief funds and to
provide new sources of revenue to
raise the appropriations.
Running Expense
No Great Problem
If unemployment continues in
great degree next fall and relief
demands are urgent, the third al
ternatlve will likely be followed
The session, it should be noted.
will not be to provide funds for
the ordinary running expenses of
government as some sales tax pro
ponents would make out. The
state has a stop-gap If the sales
tax rails, as far as routine ex
penses are concerned: It can con
tinue to levy a tax on real prop
erty, making the counties pay In
cash the day the tax is due. By
the end of 1934, under the 1933-
1934 budget of expenditures, the
state will have sizeably reduced
its existing deficit.
Mr. Wilcox is worried about
the outlook for fall and one of the
reasons for the Washington trip
which he is now taking, is to
ascertain exactly how the relief
administrator is going to view
Oregon's future requests for mon
eys. The state of Washington, un
der the authority of a $10,000,-
000 bond issue, can pledge or sell
as many of these bonds as It sees
fit for its future relief.
In his brief cases, Wilcox took
east $118,000,000 in proposed
projects for Oregon, public works
hich are presumably partially
self-liquidating. No one, least of
all the astute Portlander, who has
done a good job in administering
the state's relief program last
year, thinks any large percentage
of these projects will be under
taken. The policy of all applicants
for public works these must
not be confused with direct re
lief has been to ask for a big
piece of pie in the hope of getting
a sliver.

Rushing Into its emergency
meeting a hundred days ago with
every bank in the nation closed,
the special session of congress
stepped up to the adjournment
line tonight with three major
bank-related moves enacted.
Much credit for moving out

Into the background despite re

the bill were made nevertheless.
Upon the long roster of the

three main bank related moves

WASHINGTON. June 10 (AP)
A $25,000,000 reorganization
proposal, sent to the capltol at
the last minute, was one of the
obstacles that blocked the way of
congress to adjournment tonight.
but. despite suggestions that it be
withdrawn, the plan remained be
fore congress.
In the absence of a sine die ad
journment, democratic leaders
made confident predictions tbat
the savings would be made as pro
posed.
An attack by Senator Borah (R-
Ida) upon the president's plan
earlier had brought from Senator'
Robinson, the democratic leader.
statement that If the reorgan
ization proposal would block the
path to adjournment, he would
ask Mr. Roosevelt to withdraw it.
But when the adjournment was
taken, and the tension brought on
by the unsuccessful rush toward
that goal had relaxed, democratic
chieftains announced definitely
the plan would not be withdrawn.
The far reaching proposals
were seen by the president a?
bringing the savings In govern
mental expenditures to a total of
$900,000,000. and advancing the
goal of a balanced budget to with
in the range of vision.
Among the plans put forward
by the chief executive, which will
go into effect within 60 days un
less overridden by a two thirds
vote of both the senate and house,
were steps to virtually abolish the
prohibition bureau.
The department of Justice
would take over the investigatory
functions of the bureau, while it
licensing provisions would be
placed under the division of inter
nal revenue.
Among the other consolidations
and new alignments would be the
abolition of the shipping board.
Borah was Joined in his attack
by Senators Johnson of California
and Reed of Pennsylvania, both
republicans.
"I am not charging the pres
ident with taking advantage of
congress and realize it probably
was delayed by the pressure of
other business, but some things in
this reorganization plan are vi
tal to the west," Borah said.
