?J . Superseding an order made

fr- structlona dealt a blow to hopes
I V that reduced hours for CVVA
workers would permit of stagger-
f, tog the work and thereby giving
jobs to approximately -!?00 more
if - men in Marion county alone. The
' new orders also authorized Niles
jf:J to . abandon or suspend certain
R projects where it was deemed de
sirable, "concentrating on inoee
with greatest social and economic
value."
In addition the telegram ruled
-that "no name shall be added to
any payroll except In actual re
placement of a worker fully ter
minated and finally paid off."
Niles was directed to telegraph J
j- Immediately the reduction in dol
lars on the weekly payroll that
would be accomplished through
compliance with the new orders.
He was unprepared to announce
this figure last night.

15 in cities under that figure, and
In the open country. A schedule
of four six-hour days In cities and
three five-hour days per week in
rural communities was suggested.

cut in proportion with other pro

Orders given out yesterday by
E. R. Goudy, Oregon administra
tor, forbade the purchase of fur
ther materials and supplies for
projects without specific approval
of his office.
The hour reductions and pur
chasing curtailments will mean
that work in this county will be
concentrated on those projects
that would be of little value if but
partially completed. Among these
are the dinger. Englewood and

Mr.- Niles said he believed It
would be still possible under the

Is Criticized for
Expense Abuses
The Oregon state game com

by the secretary of state's audit

employes and for the practice of
making salary and expense ad
vances to employes of the depart

The audit, prepared by S. W.
Starr, supervisor of the depart
mental auditiing division for the

Unwilling to Pay Fair .
Wage, Says Leader
NEW YORK, Jan. 18-P)-Hugh
S. Johnson turned tonight on the
congressional critics of the recov
ery administration In lasting de
nunciation,, saying, "The fact is
they do not know what they want
and men in that condition ought
not speak at all."
Speaking before the National
Retail Dry Goods association at
the Hotel Pennsylvania, and to a
nation wide radio audience, the
recovery administrator struck out
at Senator Nye and Borah, who
today lambasted NRA codes as
promoters of oppression of small
industries and the consumer.
Their names were not down on
the manuscript from which he
read his speech, but the identity
was clearly shown as he told ol
two who had been invited to sit
in with the administration to cor
rect inequities, and accused them
of preferring to "sit aside and
conjecture evil."
"So long as they both shall live
they will have to answer as to
why they did not consent," he
said, "that circumstance discount
ed 50 per cent of what they now
say.
"If NRA oppresses anybody It
does not do so by monopolistic
tendency. It may do so for an
other reason. I can tell you the
single reason and then prove it to
the smoking hilt.
"It oppresses people who are
not willing to accord decent wages
and proper hours to human la
bor, and I am willing to take any
man to the hustings on that state
ment including these profession
al dialecticians. But they will not
dare go there with me none of
them."

E. G. Harlan, chairman of the

plained the surplus situation and
bow milk prices bare been estab

milk price, the first set by the
control board, are tentatively
$2.10, which has prevailed for
some time. Portland's price Is
11.95 and Eugene $2. There is
some discussion that Salem milk
may go into the Eugene shed In
stead of Portland; as heretofore.
and this will likely be decided at
the control beard session next
week.

Grand Jury Directed, Check
Premature Release and
Sheriff's Accounts
Immediately following Instruc
tions to the Marion county grand
ury Thursday by Judge L. H. Mc-
Mahan to investigate the release
from jail January 6 of Everett
Battles after he had served but
136 days of his year's sentence un
der an "hit-and-run" conviction.
Battles appeared at the sheriff's
office and requested he be held In
custody to serve out the remain
der of his sentence or until the
controversy over his release was
settled.
Battles was committed to jail
following the accident resulting in
the death of Wah Hong, aged Chi
nese, at Salem. Judge McMahan'ln
his Instructions to the jury stated
that under the sentence Battles
would have to serve 281 days after
legal credits had been allowed be
fore be could be released.
McMahan further charged the
Jury with Investigating the advice
received "by this court that Mr.
Battles had been given rides to
Silverton in a car for his pleasure
and recreation." He further in
structed the Jury to "Investigate
the bills of the sheriff against
Marion county during his term of
office."
Release of Battles-from Jail on
January 6 after 136 days Incar
ceration was not generally learned
until several days afterwards.
Sheriff Burk was on bis way to
Los Angeles after a prisoner and

that he had worked most of the
time as a trusty about the court
house and that the : sheriff had
been advised by Judge McMahan
that a trusty was allowed one day
off for work for the county for
every day of good time allowed or
that he was entitled to double
time.
