EIGHTY-THIRD YEAR Salenv Oregon, Friday Morning, September 29, 1933 No. 160 M Various Taxes Proposed to Raise State's Portion Of Relief Fund Unemployed in Demonstra tion for More, Liberal Re lief; Delegation Heard PORTLAND, Sept. 28. (AP) A group of revenue raising measures, the largest of which would be a tax on liquor in the event the 18th amendment Is re pealed, was recommended by the state relief committee of 32 as the means of raising the state's share of $8,000,000, the sum agreed upon as needed for un employment relief in Oregon through 1934. The relief committee, meeting here today, adopted a report rec ommending these i measures and this sum for the consideration of the state legislature in the event Governor Julius L. Meier calls it into special session. The report will be placed in the hands of the governor.! The final deliberations of the relief committee were carried on while outside the hotel where the meeting was held, about 600 un employed gathered in the street to demand liberal relief allowances. A delegation of the unemployed appeared before the relief com mittee to list the demands. The principal point of debate at today's meeting was about the amount of money needed to sus tain an adequate relief program. A majority of the special commit tee named to study these needs had recommended a total of $17,- 705,400 of 'state and federal money. Minority had suggested the $8,000,000 figure. A motion that the minority re port be substituted for the major ity report was favored by a vote of IS to 8. : v Capital Tax , Is Defeated In the extended debate preced ing the vote, one group urged that relief in the past had been inade quate and that the need was in creasing rather than decreasing, and .that the patience of the un employed was becoming exhaust ed. Another presented the threat of opposition from upstate rep resentatives in the state legisla ture to Page 2, Col. 3) PWA BOARD WILL T PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 28.

The project Is that of a 72 foot dam for navigation, flood control, and power, to cost $31,- 000,000. The dispatch said the public works board today agreed to allocate immediately $20,000, 000, the amount estimated to bo needed for the next two years Members of the board gave their "hearty approval" of the Bonne ville project, the dispatch said, when they were Informed Presi dent Roosevelt is in favor of it. "The previous argument against Bonneville that the Pacific coast already has received many mil lions was disregarded," the dis patch stated, "and the board felt better when members" understood that Bonneville is not a mere lo cal or state promotion but con cerns the states of Washington and Oregon intimately and Idaho and Montana in lesser, degrees.

(AP) A squad of storm troopers waited in the marble lobby below thejsupreme court room today as Paul Zachow, a laborer, made a terrified denial that he ever In cited Marinus Van der Lubbe to set the series of fires culminating in the reichstag blaze, for which the Dutchman and four others are on trial here. The storm troopers escorted 14 witnesses here from Berlin to tes tify in the court's attempt to probe an alleged communist plot behind the reichstag fire. Van der Lubbe begrudgingly admitted earlier this week he had "smoked rags in gas oline and fired three places in Berlin before the parliament building blaze. Zachow, apparently scared, told the court: "I am a good German. I have suffered enough." The laborer had been accused by Ernest Pankin, a nationalist laborer, whose charges were cited by prosecutor as showing a "bridge to Moscow." Two witnesses brought here are communists being detained in a concentration camp. TA LONDON. Sept. 28. (AP) Russia again flatly refused today to be drawn into the world wheat agreement despite an offer by the United States and Canada to let the soviet union share with them any possible extension during the next year of the limit now set for world exports. The North American countries already had been promised by the other exporters that any boost In the world total, now set at 660,- 000,000 bushels, wnich migm do provided would not Imperil the price limiting program Included in the agreement reached incident to the world economic session. Canada and America met Rus sia's demand that Bhe must have at least 75,000,000 bushels of the export Quota double her, allot ment by offering her 8,000,000 more in tho even such an increase was found feasible. Russia's decision, made known after the closed meeting, meant at least the. temporary breakdown of the negotiations at this newly established world wheat capital. It was considered likely the scene of discussions with the Russians might be shifted to the United States.

Bloc Hostile to Multnomah County's Drive for Funds Experience With Special Session Early This Year Unsatisfactory By SHELDON P. SACKETT .While much speculation has been carried on over the definite date the special session of the legislature would convene, that date is not yet determined by Governor Julius L. Meier nor is it likely that tho session will be convened at an extremely early date.' Such information was made available yesterday at the capltol. Several circumstances have arisen to mako the governor re luctant to be hurried into a spe cial session. One is the marked divergence of view on ways of levying taxes for relief funds and even more- controversial, tho di versity of methods for allocating the moneys to the various coun ties when funds are provided. Of late this problem has blend ed Into the fight Portland is making against the state highway commission's allocation of fed eral road funds. This is known to have created an almost solid antl-Multnomah bloc among up state legislators with the prob able result of strong antagonism to any relief, tax or highway plan Multnomah county might present at the special session. The greatest single reason which makes Governor Meier re luctant to hurry the legislators to Salem is the experience with the first special session- this year. Believing a sales tax necessary to relieve the financial distress of the state's subdivisions, the ex ecutive summoned tho legislature to Salem one week ahead of the stated meeting time only to find much criticism, the legislature (Turn to Page 2, Col. 3) STRIKERS SEIZE HAVANA, Sept. 28.

Lamson, to San Quentin prison where ho is to be hanged December 15 on conviction of wife murder. "Please, please, let my boy stay here as long as you can," Mrs. Lamson begged. "If he goes to San Quentin I may never see him again." The sheriff then agreed to keep Lamson in tho county Jail here until expiration of the time limit allowed by law in such cases. Earlier the delayed inquest into the death of Mrs. All en e Thorpe Lamson in the bathroom of her Stanford campus home May 30 was held, and resulted in an open verdict by a coroner's jury which held she had come to her death "due to a violent force applied to the back of the head, result ing in tractures to the skull.' Neither Lamson nor his attor neys were present but the defense contended the verdict was fa vorable to the defense in that it did not hold tho Stanford uni versity press representative re sponsible for his wife's death. An appeal has been taken in the case. Chester Plant Shut Down; Strikers Threaten Tie-up Of Ford Works DETROIT. Sept. 28. (AP) A five-day, 40-hour week, with a complete shutdown several days each month to bring the weekly working hours of its 50,000 em ployes down to the 35 prescribed by tho NRA auto code, today sup planted the Ford Motor company's original announcement of a four day, 32-hour week. Labor troubles in its Edge water, N. J., plant, and the clos ing of the assembly plant at Ches ter, Pa., brought no comment from company officials, however. The Ford plant, under a plan begun this week, operated four days of eight hours each, or 32 hours a week. Officials said it was planned to step the work week up to 4 0 hours as produc tion increased, then level off to average 35 hours over a yearly period, in conformance with the NRA code which Henry Ford has not signed. At that time it was stated that "Mr. Ford intends to observe tho provisions of tho NRA code" as to working hours and wages. The absolute minimum wage received by the lowest-paid Ford worker, officials stated, was 60 cents an hour, although increases had been granted to all production work ers which placed their minimum at 60 cents. Registration of World war vet erans for 6000 jobs offered by the Ford company was suspended today until October 16, after it was stated that 2800 men had been recommended to the Ford employment offices.
