"The. disastrous forest tires in Oregon during the last few years, resulting in the destruction of millions of dollars in timber values, hare prompted me to se cure a report as to their causes In the belief that public interest demands that everything within reason be done to minimize the recurrence of such fires," a state ment issued by Governor Meier read. "Oregon is reputed to hare the most progressire forest laws and the best state-wide protection or ganization of any state in the union and yet I cannot help be lieving that somewhere in our policy of timber operation and use of the f crests for recreational purposes ' we hare neglected to place that protection around our forests which a prudent and thoughtful people should demand.

(AP) On a case built piece by piece on circumstantial evidence, the state today rested, confident it had proved, as charged, that David A. Lamson beat to death his pretty wife in the bath room of the Stanford university cam pus home Memorial day. The completion of the Btate's evidence followed a day in which the defense not only sought to lay a foundation for its claim tnat tne young Y.W.C.A. secre tary fell to; erdeath,- crashing her head against a wash basin. but also to discredit the testi mony of several officers who were state witnesses. The state's final move came as surprise, after Oliver. Casey, deputy county surveyor, had been called to the stand to introduce Into evidence a cross section drawing off the bath room. The day started with Dr. Fred erlck Proescher, county patholo gist, and mainstay of the state's case, on the stand, undergoing cross examination. From him the defense tried to develop a de scription of blood spurts indi cating the defense of the 31- year-old executive of the Stan ford university press would be based .on the finding of E. O, Heinrlch, Berkeley, Calif., crimin ologist, who examined the death scene nearly three weeks after the tragedy. Dr. A. M. Moody, San Fran cisco pathologist, who aided Dr. Proescher in his many experi ments for blood on objects and clothing taken from the Lamson nome and introduced here as en-1 dence, confirmed the findings of the county physician. IS That the death of her brother. Edward Lv Mann, , after brutal treatment at the hands of Seattle police is causing a serious furore in that city, and that the case is not closed yet," was the report of Mrs. Nora Wlekert Friday fol lowing 'her return here from at tending - the - coroner's ; - inquest which resulted in a verdict of sui cide. Only the officers who beat Mann after arresting him oft sus picion, saw the body before it was. according to their story, cut down from where It. was hanging in the Jail cell, Mrs. Wlekert said; so that nobody else knows, whether Mann died by hanging. She de clares it was simply a case of mur der. Mann was arrested, she explain ed, by error after he had entered a store room adjoining, his own. with the sole intention of pre- ventlng a fire. " Someone turned In a burglar alarm and the officers, finding Mann there, subjected - him ' to third-degree treatment before the true facts were ascertained. Abry Case Jury.

The deal tentatively considered by the council called for the pur chase of the plant here at a sum ranging from $700,000 to 89,00,- 000. Two contingencies had not heen determined: whether the company would accept such an of fer and whether the federal gov ernment would accept the city's bonds and provide cash therefore with which to purchase the local plant. Using ihe widest possible latl tude, the city could not use more than $300,000 of the $2,000,000 sought from the PWA to buy the plant here. The application now on file calls tor $2,000,000 with which to "buy and build" or to build independently.

Problems; Haney; Claims It's up to Governor io Submit Pain or Resign By CLAYTON V. BERNHARD PORTLAND, Sept. 1 (AP) Recommendation for a special ses sion of the state legislature to consider unemployment and ' school relief; appointment of committees to ascertain the amount of relief and to consider the various methods of raisina? funds to care for the emergency in amounts tentatively ' estimate at from $5,000,000 to $25,000. 000, were the chief accomplish ments of the state-wide commit tee named by the governor to con sider the relief situation. The committee of 32, of which all but three were either present or represented, unanimously rec . ommended to Governor Julius L. Meier that an extraordinary ses sion of the state legislature was . necessary to enact relief for the needy and- for impoverished school districts. Raymond B. Wilcox, chairman of the state relief com mittee, made the motion, second ed by Bert E. Haney of Portland. The committee, named by Fred E. Kiddle, president of the state senate and named permanent chairman of the governor's com mittee to consider relief matters, to review the various divergent plans of raising upwards of five million dollars within the next year to care for unemployed, con sisted of Ray Gill, chairman; Bert E. Haney, Ben T. Osborne, John Logan, C. C. Colt, Jack Luihn and D. M. Webb. All were named from Portland in order to permit frequent meetings. The committee named to make an "intelligent guess" upon the funds necessary to allay suffer ing included Raymond B. Wilcox, chairman; Frank Shull. W. J. Roork. Nettle Rankin BoHand and Elliott Corbett. This com mittee will submit its report at. once to the revenue committee. and both to report back ta the full group within ten days or two weeks at the most. Among the definite impresakma . apparent at the three-hour seasfem of the committee representing eH state and many district organisa tion heads, was that it would be useless to present any type ef sales tax, as that would be defeat ed by popular, vote. This was de clared by Paul R. Kelty, editor of the Oregonlan, who stated that something must be done, but in view of past actions, no sales tax should be considered by this com mittee, "although my paper sup ported that plan." Kiddle said after the meeting a session of the full committee' to hear reports of the two eommit- i iees wouia not do eauea until tne J middle of the month' to permit plans for consideration, of the leg islature for relief.
