The selection of Morgenthau, a close friend and trusted financial advisor of the president, to han dle the various proposals for Sov iet purchases in this country was taken by observers as a significant instance of President Roosevelt's interest in both trade and diplo matic questions involving Russia. In official circles it was said Morgenthau had been chosen to supervise Russian trade proposals because a coordinator, was needed to keep in touch with offers and suggestions going to the various departments from many sources. For several weeks Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Recon struction corporation and other officials hare been dickering with the representatives of Amtorg, the official Soviet commercial agency in New York, for a transaction by which Russia would buy cotton and other products. l Continued from pec t) Meanwhile soldiers around the National hotel made ready for ac tion.

"I was very much pleased with the news, declared Mayor Doug las McKay. "This is what we have been waiting- for. J$dw we can go ahead and I am certain we can work out our plans. to give Salem an improved water supply. 1 Alderman S. A. Hughes, council utilities committee chairman, was "somewhat disappointed, that we're cut down from the amount applied for, but added. "We're going ahead some way or other. We might yet be able to get more money with Senator McNary's help." Spur of the moment suggestions that the council group in charge of. water system plans meet im mediately were abandoned pend ing receipt of details of the allot ment.

The city's appli cation called for 1695,000 for pur cnase of the existing system. 1100,000 for its rehabilitation and various larger amounts for construction of a diversion dam on the Little North Fork of the Santlam river and the pipe line. It is reported the Oregon-Wash ington Water Service company has put a price of around $950,- ooo on its property here. Doll fuss Takes Charge in Austria VIENNA, Sept.

"I have no statement to make concerning the second reason as signed by the governor.
