FIGHT GROWS DEAL
MONMOUTH, June 15 (Spe
cial) Representative democrats
of Polk county, headed by R. W.
Baker of Independence, vice and
acting county chairman, and citi
zens of Monmouth are hotly pro
testing the appointment of Oscar
Groves as postmaster at Mon
mouth.
In a telegram today to Con
gressman Walter M. Pierce, Ba
ker said,, "The protest of Mon
mouth citizens against Groves
meets my approval. I think that
Monmouth was given a rotten deal
in the selection of the post master.
If this Is a sample of the new
deal. It is not a square one."
Groves lives 15 miles out of
Monmonth and is practically un
known here. Investigations by lo
cal business men today disclosed
a probability that Congressman
Charles H. Martin of Portland is
responsible for jockeying the
"dark horse" Groves into this pa
tronage Job as neighbors allege
that Groves received a letter three
months ago assertedly from Mar
tin assuring his appointment. It
is said he served overseas In
Headquarters company with Mar
tin. Since Congressman Martin stat
ed through the press he would do
nothing about any Oregon post
office appointments except In his
own congressional district, the
democratic aggregation of this
section Is amazed.

pointed out the whole program is

SAN JOSE, Calif.. June 15
(AP) Handsome David A. Lam-
son, 31, university press represen
tative, sat expressionless today In
a tiny court room while the state
sent a parade of witnesses to the
stand in an endeavor to have him
held for trial on a charge of mur
dering his pretty wife, Allene, in
the bathroom of their campus
home.
The state produced witnesses
who testified to finding Lamson
in the back yard, the morning of
her death, attending a small fire,
of the finding of a pair of men's
garden gloves beside the bath tub
in which his p-.ftty wife was
found, of blood stains, although
faint, on a pair of his pajamas
and a statement from Lamson to
a police officer in which he com
plained that his wife had to work
for the Y. W. C. A., "even on hoi
idays."
Several witnesses testified they
saw neither hair nor blood on the
water faucets of the bath tub
testimony apparently intended to
refute any possible reiteration of
a previous defense contention that
Mrs. Lamson met her death when
she fell backwards and struck her
head against the faucets.

HORSE THIEVES III
HISTORY DEPLORED
Wrong Impression of West
Given Says Miller at
Pioneers' Meeting
PORTLAND, Ore., June 15.
(AP) Denunciation of historians
who give the leading roles to
horse-thieves, gamblers and high
waymen in telling of "America's
last frontier" was voiced here to
day by Colonel Robert A. Miller
in an address before the 61st an
nual reunion of the Oregon Pio
neer association.
"From the great universities of
the east," declared Colonel Mil
ler, who was born In Oregon in
1854, "are coming histories and
books about this pioneer land
west of the Mississippi, and out
of these pages comes a picture of
the west in which the freebooter,
the bandit, the gambler, the gun
man and the horse thief play the
Important roles In the .character
of our western life and its devel
opment.
"May I be permitted in the
name of the pioneers of the west
to denounce this libel on their
character and their achievements?
"We want to challenge and con
demn in like manner the writers
of Oregon history who put forth
the idea that the pioneers of Ore
gon indulged in ruthless and un
provoked massacre of native In
dians."
Joseph Simon. 82. former
United States senator from Ore

WASHINGTON, June 15 (AP)
Congress today followed up its
unprecedented grants of power to
the chief executive by appropriat
ing $3,600,000,000 to carry for
ward his emergency reconstruc
tion program.
Without any more debate than
is sometimes necessary to pass a
bridge authorization bill, the sen
ate adopted the house-approved
conference report on the largest
peace time money measure in his
tory and dispatched it to the
White House.
Senator Frazier (R-ND) made
an unsuccessful effort to have the
report rejected because it elimin
ated his amendment providing
$300,000 to eradicate grasshop
pers in the northwest. Since there
was no further objection the re
port was approved without a roll
call.
The largest item in the bill was
an appropriation of 13,300,000,
000 for public works under the
Industrial recovery program, ia
eluding $50,000,000 for starting
the Roosevelt Muscle Shoals-Ten
nessee valley project.
