WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. ()
Senator Steiwer (R-Ore) quoted
Deputy Administrator Waits to
day as saying the five Oregon
coast highway bridges now before
the public works board would be
approved in' accordance with the
enabling act recently passed" by

Steiwer said Waits while in
sisting he did not "want to com
mit the administration," advised
him that the bridges, involving
approximately 15,000,000 would
be cared for.
If approved the spans will give

warning from Hugh S. Johnson
that if the concern proceeds to

election the full penalties of
the Industrial law will be sought,"
Ernest T. Weir, executive head of
the concern, said he had talked to
the NRA leader by phone and "we
both agreed that it was a matter
for the courts to decide."
He concluded a formal state

"Meanwhile we shall not Inter

Johnson himself could not Im

ATHENS, Dec. 14. JP Samuel
InsulL former Chicago utilities
cxar,. must leave Greece by Jan
uary 1, it was stated on behalf of
the government tonight.
The Greek premier, Panayoti
Tsaldaris, said it has been de
cided not to renew Insult's police
permit for residence in the conn-
try on Its expiration December 31.
The. Greek courts twice have
turned down a request of the
United States for Insult's extra
dition. Today Insull formally. ap
plied to the aliens' department
of the Greek government for ex
tension of his permit.
The premier said the govern
ment had refused the request. He
said the method by which he may
leave Greece had not been decid
ed upon, but said he was asking
Insull to lea 3 the country by the
first of the year.
The United States has revoked
Insull's passport, leaving him
without consular status as an
American citizen.
The premier previously had ex
plained t h :. t according to the
United States extradition treaty
and because of two verdicts, "we
are unable to hand him over,"
but he added that the govern
ment would try to find a way to
deport him.
Insull f a e e s charges of em
bezzlement In Chicago in connec
tion with the collapse of his vast
utilities empire.
The Greek government several
days ago was reported prepared
to provide Insull with a laissez-
passer, allowing him free entry to
other countries so far as Greece
was concerned.
WASHINGTON, Dec 14. (P)
In whatever direction Samuel In
sull crosses the Greek border he
will enter a nation with which
the United States has an extra
dition treaty.
Just what action this govern
ment will take on January 1, the
date by which the former utili
ties owner must leave Greece, re
mains to be seen. State depart
ment officials were silent tonight,
except to say that so far as
Greece was concerned the depart
ment was 01 1 of the Insull case.
STATES FIGHT OVER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. UPy-
The question of division of costs
for the Bonneville dam, across
the Columbia river between Ore
gon and Washington, bobbed up
in congressional circles again to
day with the statement by Sena
tor Steiwer (R. Ore.) that he
had been assured the costs would
be equally divided between the
two states.
Previously Representative
Smith (D., Wash.) protested to
the public works administration
against equal cost division when
the jobs were pro-rated on the
basis of five for Oregon to one
for Washington.
Later Smith said- he was as
sured by public works officials
that costs of the project would be
divided between the rivers'and
harbors funds of the two states
on the same basis as the division
of Jobs. '
Steiwer s statement today fol
lows a conference with Deputy
Administrator Schnepfe, who was
quoted as authority for the equal
division announcement. Yester
day Senator AfcNary (R-, Ore.),
and Representative. Martin (D.,

trator Waite And protested against
the unequal division of costs, ex
plaining that the power to be de
veloped there would benefit the

The ; ordinance will be drawn O' " 1 .

MacDowell Club Concert
Pleases Salem Audience
By JESSIE L, STEELE ,
An appreciative audience listen
ed Intently last night to the well-
trained MacDowell club chorus of
0 voices and thrilled to the mas
terful performance of Miss Clara
Eness, pianist.
Outstanding in the first group
of numbers by the entire women's
chorus was the Ave Marie, Opof
12, by Brahms, sung in Latin. The
soprano and alto, sections echoed
back and forth In delicate chords
that were perfectly timed and exe
cuted. No one voice could be
heard onlv the blended whole.
Such praise cannot truthfully
be meted to the male chorus. "On
the Great Lone Hills" swelled
front the male throats in pleasing
contrast to the delicate feminine
tones of the preceding numbers
by the women's chorus. The lest
two numbers, however, were poor

from the whole like orphan chil

The governor yesterday an
nounced the appointment of the
three men who are to serve as
commissioners, but they wiU not
receive their commissions until
the measure Is signed and be- '
comes law. The members met to
day, however, to get a "running
start" on their course of actios,
as it was said hard liquor wQl not
be legally available in this state
between the time the governor
signs the measure and the state
stores are established. It was es
timated several of the stores will
be opened within two or three
weeks.
George H. McMorran of Eugene

fice.
Selection of the attorney, it was
understood, waa the only definite
action taken by the future com
missioners at their meeting today.
They were described as wishing to
become familiar with the new
law before attempting to set up
machinery for the establishment
of the state liquor stores ov be
fore making appointments.
The three men appointed by the
governor stated that they had dis
cussed the matter of selecting sa
administrator who will be ha' di
rect charge of the state liqoortA
dispensing machine when It is set
up, but that they had not yet
named any ehoice. They indicat
ed that they would favor appoint
ment of a man of proved business
background and ability but not
necessarily experienced in the li
quor business.
