PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 27.
(AP) Salem's national cham
pionship dram corps will leave to
morrow night for Chicago to de
fend Its title in the national
American Legion contest if 11500
can be raised tomorrow morning,
Walter W. R. May, manager of the
Portland chamber of commerce,
announced tonight.
A group of Legion and cham
ber of commercial officials, con
ferring here late today, added
$500 to the $3000 already avail
able, but $5000 was given as the
minimum estimated to be needed
to meet the expenses of the trip.
May said the Portland chamber
has lent its assistance in raising
the expense fund, as it feels (he
present of the Oregon organiza
tion at Chicago would be excel
lent advertising for this state
through the middle west and at
the national Legion convention.
With the Intention of entrain
ing on their special cars at Trade
and Liberty streets, leaving at
7:20 p. ra. tonight, officials of
Capital Post No. 9, American Le
gion, and members of" the drum
corps will today go ahead with
last minute preparations for the
trip to Chicago, it was stated last
night following the corps' exhibi
tion on Sweetland field. A crowd
estimated at over 400 persons at
tended the program given by the
corps, the Capita unit trio and
quartet, and the Legion cadet
band.
"Absolutely, the corps is go
ing." Commander Allan G. Carson
of the Legion declared.
Carson's declaration was sec
onded by J. T. Delaaey. state
drum corps chairman, and Man
ager Tom Hill of the corps. De
laney and Hill said they had con
fidence the needed funds would
be raised by noon today.
The corps is scheduled to ap
pear in full uniform and play for
the farewell crowd of cltUens ex
pected to be at the departure point
tonight.'
Leading business and profes
sional men here last night gave
assurance that the amount of
money necessary for purchase of
new uniforms for the drum corps
would be underwritten today. A
committee of the Salem chamber
of commerce is operating with an
American L e g 1 o n committee In
this effort.
Officials of the chamber last
night urged all persons interested
to, notify Allan C a r o n of the
chamber office In order that a
committee might call. Wednesday
committees found the business
men aware of the advertising
value of the corps' pjopesed visit
in the east, especially since Ore
gon would have no other showing
at the Century of Progress. ! -
Announcement was made yes
terday that the drum corps prob
ably would disband following its
anticipated defense of Its nation
al title at the Chicago convention.
During Its nine years' existence
the corps has won one national
competition, placed second and
fifth In two others and taken
seven state titles. It lost one state
title to Medford and did not com
pete the year the convention was
held here, nor this year at Klam

Commissioner Cannot Issue

Letter Declares
The Oregon public utilities
commissioner can neither issue
permits to operators of contract
carriers nor require them to pay
mileage fees prescribed by the
bus and truck law enacted by the
1933 legislature, A. C. Anderson,
president of the Truck Owners' &
Farmers Protective association,
claims in a letter he addressed
yesterday vto Herbert i A. Hauser,
state superintendent of transpor
tation. ' ,
Anderson asks Ilausejr to modi
fy his recent request t the state
police "that contract and private
cairiers be prevented? from con
tinuing their present operations
until the supreme court hands
down a general decision on this
matter."
The decision of Judge Lew el
lining in circuit court here elim
inating sections seven and 12 of
the act as invalid leaves Hauser
without authority to regulate con
tract carriers by requiring them
to obtain permits and pay fees
under the act, Anderson contends.
Maintaining that a deposit can
not be required under section 17
of the act until a permit is issued
and that the commissioner is now
without power to Issue permits,
Anderson asserts that truck op
erators cannot be held for failing
to make these deposits.
The association membership is
growing daily and will be used to
fight the truck law in the courts
and carry it before the next leg
islature if it is upheld by the
state supreme court, Anderson
declared.

The protest asserted:
"Church life since several

"During the recent state sy

the church's articles of faith. This
applies especially to the so-called

Desperado's Alleged Share,
$73,250 is dug up by
Federal Officers
MEMPHIS. Tenn., Sept. 2C
(AP) Department of justice
agents announced here tonight
that George "Machine Gun' Kelly
had acknowledged participation in
the Urschel kidnaping.
W. L. Rorer was the agent
making the announcement.
"You"gpt me right! on the Urs
chel but not on the Chicago rob
bery or the Kansas City Union
station job," Rorer laid Kelly toU
him.
Rorer was the departmeent of
justice agent who led the raid on
the house where the notorious
Kelly and his auburn haired wife
were captured yesterday. He and
another agent flew to Memphis te
make the raid.
Rorer said the confession was
made while the agents were talk
ing to Kelly in his ceU.
Kelly tonight was ready to go
back to Oklahoma City to face
trial fo rkidnaping as his brother-in-law,
reputedly confessed an at
tempt to get a part of the Charles
F. Urschel $200,000 ransom!
money-from a Texas cotton field.
Both Kelly and his auburn
haired wife, Kathryn, captured in
a bungalow here yesterday, aban
doned their plans to fight extradi
tion to Oklahoma after demanding
a hearing.
William McClanah, federal dis
trict attorney, said both had
signed the necessary papers to
permit their removal, but govers
ment agents guarded closely any
plans they might have to take
the outlaw to Oklahoma. Previ
ously they said the trip would be
made by airplane. '
Meanwhile. John M. Keith, de
partment of Justice operative, sai4
Langford Ramsey, an attorney
and brother of Kelly's first wife.
had told In detail how he went to
the farm of Cass Coleman and un
successfully tried to obtain $73,-
250 of the Urschel ransom buried
beneath a tree in a cotton field.
The money was Kelly's share ef
the loot, authorities said. Tke
money was recovered by agents
today.
Kelly's alleged statement on the
Chicago robbery referred to the
holdup of federal reserve bank
messengers and the slaying ot a
policeman on the night of Septeaw
ber 21. His reference to the "Kan
sas City Union station lob" was
to the machine gun slaying of
four officers and Frank Nash, no
torious criminal, whom the offi
cers had in custody.
Police forces had linked Kelly's
name with both slayings.
CHICAGO, Sept. 27 (AP)i-
Former Detective Sergeant Harry
