Kletzer of Port Salem residents In large numbers early this morning were anticipating catching a glimpse at least of the "Royal Scot", famous crack passenger train that runs between London, England, and Edinburgh, Scotland, and is sow on exhibition tour of the United States. The Scot was scheduled to arrive in Snlem Tin the Southern Pacific line at 8:40 a, m. today. Espee officials believed it might linger here briefly if a crowd were at the depot to view it. City police were asked to' send several officers to the station in this event, to prevent souvenir collectors from taking parts from the engine, as has been done at other points along the tour. Hundreds' of telephone calls were received last night by The Statesman, which kept inquirers advised of the latest Information regarding the train's appearance here. The "Royal Scot", scheduled to be on exhibition in Portland today, has a chunky, sa wed-off locomotive pulling streamlined cars to reduce air friction. The powerful locomotive, fastest of its kind in the world, was exhibited at the Century of . Progress exposition in Chicago. International Illustrated News photo.

UP) A strong coalition government like that of Raymond Poincare in 1926 and the sidetracking of socialists for a new center majority were urg ed upon President Albert Lebrun in protracted conferences today to succeed the fallen cabinet of Edouard Daladier. M. Daladier's denunciation of the socialist leader Leon Blum as the chamber of deputies this morning gave the premier a vote of no confidence on his budget balancing measures split the so cialists and wrecked present chances of bridging the breach. A resumption of the old left majority, thns was considered im possible because of the bitterness between Daladier's party, the ra dical socialist, and their erst while supporters, the socialists. The elimination of the social ists,; whose hostile votes split the old majority and drove out for mer : Premiers Herriot and Paul- Boncour, in the same way as they did Daladier, was declared essen tial in most camps.

(JP) A processing tax of 28 cents per bushel on corn was ftxed today by Secretary Wallace with the ap proval of President Roosevelt. The fifth to be levied on one of the seven basic , commodities defined by the farm adjustment act. It becomes effective Novem ber 6, the same date that the hog processing levy applies. The tax on corn and hogs is depended upon to finance the pro duction control program for corn and hogs at a maximum cost of approximately 1350,000,000. In making the announcement, Wallace said the rate of 28 cents per bushel of 56 pounds was the difference between the average farm price for field corn and "the fair exchange value of field corn." The fair exchange value is "par ity" price or the amount which corn must bring to have the pur chasing power it had in the pe riod from 1909 to 1914. The question pf whether the full difference between parity and the present price of corn would cause such a reduction in the con sumption of corn that it would re sult In an accumulation of sur pluses will be considered at a hearing in Washington on Novem ber 2. Processing taxes on products that compete with corn and hogs, among them sugar and beef pro ducts, are under consideration. NEW YORK, Oct 24. m Lieut. James Finn, former, body guard to Col. Charles A. Lind bergh, is convinced that John Gorch, held by Boston police, is In no way connected with the kid naping and slaying of the Lind bergh baby, a high official of the New York police department said tonight. The official said he had received this Information from Finn, who was sent to Interrogate Gorch, in a telephone conversation and that Finn will return to New York im mediately. Despite Finn's belief, the police department, which has 20 detec tives constantly working on the ease, will continue its efforts to obtain a supreme court order per mitting an examination of the contents of a safe deposit box Gorch maintains in a New York bank. Finn, who has worked on the case since March 1, 1932, the night the baby disappeared from its crib in the Lindbergh's Sour land Mountain estate near Hope well, N. J., Is expected to be pres ent when the box is opened. New York Residence Deemed Significant Police have established that Gorch, an alleged swindler and former resident of Hopewell, for merly resided on East 149th street.

Embargoes, quotas and higher; tariffs all are at the command of the administration' . : if thorough Investigation finds pleas of American producers for aid Justified, NRA may make only preliminary Investigation. If it found a basis for action,' the president would turn the ques tion over to the tariff commis sion for thorough sifting. Upon its findings, he would act to con trol foreign competition. The order was issued as Amer ican newsprint producers met with Canadian and European paper men to attempt to work out a voluntary price agreement which would safeguard the Americans In assuming the higher costs im posed by code terms. A tariff was virtually out of the question on newsprint.

The Oregon state highway com mission, opening' a two-day meet lng here tonight, was asked by a delegation from Roseburg tor a survey of 22 miles of road on the North Umpqua river eats of Rose burg, between Hoaglin and Steam Boat creek. The survey, the delegation pointed out, would enable the dis trict to borrow money from feder al agencies to carry out the pro ject. The commission indicated the request would have to be re fused because of lack of funds. "There are. several other sur veys of more importance than this one which would take precedence over it and which we cannot make because we do not have the mon ey,"-Leslie M. Scott, chairman of tne commission, declared. "It comes down to a matter of money. we haven't got the mney to spend on the surrey. "We have eight roads across the mountains and the commission is opposed to another road.': Another Hunter Killed by Error ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. 24. C.W.

(Jp) -The state's unemployment re lief fund should receive all reve nue from the sale of alcoholic liquors in Oregon In the event the 18th amendment is repealed, it was decided here today at a; con ference of the Wilcox unemploy ment relief committee and the Knox committee on liquor con trol. 1 Measures to make such a' plan effective will be "prepared for pre sentation to the legislature, which has been called by Governor Jul ius L. Meier to meet in special session November j 20. All liquor revenues and such: other revenues from sources to be provided by the legislature will be placed in this fund during the unemployment emergency, the two groups decid ed, subject to the e enditure of the state unemployment relUf committee. The two committees also de cided that the draft of a consti tutional amendment should be prepared in anticipation of the session, which would permit the capitalization of .unemployment relief funds through a bond issue to be supported by state revenues provided by the legislature for ULDmployment relief. Speakers of both committees emphasized the opinion that the problem of adequate liquor con trol and whatever revenue might result from the sale of liquor should be treated as a separate problem from that of financing unemployment needs, other thai that whatever revenue liquor might provide should be devoted to unemployment relief during the emergency. Raymond B. Wilcox, relief committee chairman, said the two committees would meet jointly again shortly before the legisla tive special session. : LIB E N LI FLIGHT SOD J The firemen and engineer died In their cab.
