, (AP) More than , 350 . fire
' fighters were working tonight . to
gain control of the blaze that has
spread over several hundred acres
west of Gales creek in Tillamook
county.
. C. C. Scott, manager of the
Northwest Forest Fife Protective
, association,, said -tonight: : .
"All we can do is hope favoring
winds will carry enough moisture
to the Coast range summit so our
boys can check the fire's progress.
The fire fighters Included
C. C. C. recruits from Willark,
Mist and Hamlet camps. 1 ,
The blaze had developed Into a
crown fire in several places, mak
ing the work of bringing it under
control more difficult. Scott said
the fire had worked itself into a
gTeen timber area, where there
have been no logging operations,
""and was eating Jnto a stand of
valuable yellow fir. The fir was
largely on the property of the
Crossett and Western and the
Blodget companies.
The Reeher's camp, threatened
on two sides by the flames, was
abandoned, and a camp was made
at" Henry Schrob's clearing. But
flying brands Imperiled that loca
tion, and the 200 fighters there
moved along. A bridge over Wil
son river near the clearing was
burned, cutting off communica
tion with Tillamook, as telephone
Hoes also were carried away.
The original fire was surround
ed more than once, but the flames
jumped into -the crowns of the
timber, leaped the lines and drove
the fighters back. Spot fires to the
south had merged into a large fire
from Elliott creek to the, Devil's
lake fork of Wilson MverT "
The north flank of the fire had
swept into Oscar -Raines'- best
stand of timber. He employs about
60 men in the woods and at his
mill. About 20 more men work at
the Clyde Rogers sawmill, men
aced by the blaze.

Hoover -Wanted to Help but
Couzens Blocked; F. R.
Accepts Values
DETROIT, Aug. 16. (AP)
Sharply contrasting policies of the
federal treasury under the Hoov
er and Roosevelt administrations
and their effect on the general
banking situation were related to
day by Wilson W. Mills, former
chairman of the. country's largest
closed bank, testifying before the
Detroit bank investigating grand
Jury. Mills also told of the refusal
of Henry Ford to offer financial
aid in the banking crisis unless he
could have complete control.
Mr, Hoover, said Mills, showed
every -desire to be "extremely
helpful" and added that the treas
ury department policy under
Hoover .was a "lenient one consis
tent with the fact that securities
had shrunk to a small fraction of
their real value." When the
Roosevelt administration came in,
he said, "apparently the policy
was to take present values, right
or wrong."
This, ihe declared, resulted In
deflation and forced the closing of
many banks.
Mr." Hoover, Mills testified, was
"desirous of helping in all ways"
during the sudden crisis in Michi
gan which led to the closing of
the banks of the state February
14, despite opposition by Senator
James Couzens (R., Mich.) who,
Mills declared, blocked a Recon
struction Finance corporation loan
which he said he believed would
have prevented the holiday.
Ford, the witness said, refused
to take any part In the reorgan
ization of the First National bank,
Detroit, of which Mills formerly
was chairman, after the bank had
closed unless he and his son, Ed-
sel, could underwrite all the stock.
