The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, March 11, 1934 PAGE THREE Arliss at Hollywood Many Surprised; Republican Campaign " Possibilities V f . Taking New Angle T y tCoatlnued from Page t). against running but like most of - the ..- candidates, he ; dislikes ' to , spend the money, necessary for a ; hangup prlmiry race. . .There would be much support - among the republican party stat V warts for an upstate man such as Wlllard Marks. The Albany man, to their mind, meets the qualtfi cations for a good gorernor and a rood 1934 candidate out Marks so '.far. has resisted alt importuning -that he male the rice. - He has been close to Meler'tbe last two . years, has accepted . the board of education leadership from 'the governor and would not hare cam paigned against him. Should Me- w ier urge Marks to make the ra!e and be willing to support him actrrely, the "Linn- county man might decide to make the contest. "-Willis Mahoney Is ' Second Demo Entry The situation on the democratic alde: of the fence was. enlivened during the week by the entrance of Willis . Mahoney of Klamath Falls in the lists. Mahoney is young, colorful, forceful and am- bitious. He will ask greater self governing power for Oregon's cities, he will attack the power "trust" constantly and will seek support from the war veterans and the younger men in the dem ocratic party. Just now Mahoney is. adjudged decidedly second-best to General Martin as a democratic candidate, the latter being much better known, far more exper lenced and strong in Multnomah county which usually can control a rubernatorial election. But Ma honey is not to be dismissed too lightly; it is conceivable that a well-planned, financed and vigor ous campaign by Mahoney who is said to be an excellent stump speaker, might wrest the honors from General Martin "who like Congressmen Pierce and Mott,., must seek the nomination from - Washington since congress is not to adjourn before the primaries. Hawley'a "No" Decision Clears Situation The situation cleared up in the first congressional district this week with-the decision of W. C. Hawley that he would not seek the .republican .nomination for congress. This means the field is made with James W. Mott seek ing renominatfon and election and J. D. Devers, state highway de partment attorney, contesting Mott'i ambitions. Devers has near- ly completed legal details In con- nection with the coast bridge con- tracta and Is expected next week 1 to start a strenuous two-months' campaign for the nomination. . i W-A. Delxell is still mailing over his long-standing wish to go to congress. Delxell. would prob ably give up this hope it he were entirely positive of . the Salem postmastership. Word from Wash ington during the week indicated that Delxell was not as certain of this favor from Walter M. Pierce as had been thought and that Henry Crawford of Salem might be named, irrespective of wheth er or not Delxell wished a refusal on the Job. Another problem not decided by Delxell is the internal revenue position he holds; Delxell doesn't want to resign this for a campaign; if he had to take a leave of absence, make the race, and be assured of a steady Job. whether he wins or loses, he will probably announce but the Roose velt swing Is against federal office-holders using their Jobs as meal tickets prior to and after a campaign and here again Delzell's ambitions may be checkmated. Earl Nott, district attorney for Yamhill county, Is expected to seek the democratic nomination for congress: If Delxell does not . Tun. He will not enter the lists If Delxell announces, feeling that his support and Delzell's would over lap. John Goss of Marsh field has already filed as has R. R. Turner of Dallas. Goss will draw strongly from southwestern Oregon which goes back to the days of Binger Herman for its last congressman. Turner and Nott will overlap - somewhat here In the valley. Nott will oppose the sales tax, back Roosevelt, stand on his record as a thrice-elected ' democrat In a republican county, as the. strong est basis tor his campaign.' Hunts to Handle Logans, Announce Hunt Brothers cannery through W. G. Allen, manager, an " nounced yesterday that his com ; pany would take care of their old loganberry grower this year.

MEIER TO RET H E FULLY SATISFIED (Continued from Page 1) attained "a reputation for cour teous, speedy, vigorous and high ly skilled law enforcement which extends far beyond the borders of this state." "So lone as this department Is permitted to function without po litical impediment or interfer ence, Oregon has a powerful wea pon against lawlessness and de predation," he averred. "The pro fessional crmiinal and gangster have already learned to give a wide berth to the blue uniform of the Oregon state police." Meier said his retrenchment program had preserved the sol vency of the state Industrial ac cident commission and enabled it in its last fiscal year to pay 20,- 000 claims, totalling 1647,796. Strict enforcement of the blue- sky laws in Oregon were held by Meier to hare protected In vestors in the last three years while the governor claimed his instructions to the new corpora tion commissioner "resulted in a cleaning out of financial rackets." Turning to the activities of his administration in the regulation of public utilities, Meier said $268,488 had been saved annu ally to the Portland General Elec tric company by the elimination of its holding corporation service fee. He said the utilities depart ment stood for the reduction of grain rates in eastern Oregon, thus returning potentially, $300, 000 to eastern Oregon shippers. Commenting on the precarious position of owners of public util ity securities, Governor Meier said: "If Oregon had been under proper regulation In the past, these Investors in public utility securities would not now be faced with passed dividends. The pub lic utilities of Oregon are alone responsible tor the financial diffi culties with which they now find themselves confronted. Instead of accepting regulation, the utilities have contested nearly every order in the federal courts' Meier said he favored the Johnson bill now in the United States senate, which would confine utility rate case appeals to state courts. He summarized the activities of the state highway department, saying it had reduced its general payrolls 27 per cent and Its shop payrolls 43 per cent. He averred the department had cut main tenance cost $500,000 annually. In the calendar years 1931, 1932 and 1933, the commission spent $41,434,000, he stated, of which $31,812,000 came from the state, $590,000 from the counties, and $8,962,000 from the federal government. JETS MOBILIZE TO I SEARCH Marian Miller to Talk Here Monday Marian Miller, women's feature writer for The Oregonian, is to speak Monday noon to the Salem chamber of commerce at Its luncheon meeting. Her subject will be "What Can be Done for the Middle-Aged Man." Mrs. Mil ler has recently written and pub lished a book called "Happy End ings." The chamber has arranged to give one of the books as an attendance prise. t Four Ex - Service Groups to Meet at Courthouse in Morning, is Plan (Continued from Page 1) terday and systematic radio an nouncements were being made of the disappearance of the children. At last 150 war veterans re sponded to the call of the city fire siren at 1 o'clock yesterday after noon, mobilized downtown and proceeded to comb Bush's pasture. Brown's Island, and the brush and fields to the east of It and south along the Oregon Electric tracks and the river. Dozens of clues were reported to search leaders and traced down, without avail. Pieces of cloth, a hat, and a sack containing a cooky were taken to the parents tor possible identification, fruit lessly. A stained shirt taken from a Filipino was brought to the city and analyzed at a local clinical laboratory but the stains proved not to be blood as first believed. Firemen Search in Slough, No Results City firemen, in charge of As sistant Chief William Iwan, armed themselves with pike poles and poked about the slough from boats but found nothing of any bearing on the case. Newell Williams, chief criminal deputy sheriff, said a man had re ported to the courthouse Saturday noon that he had seen two girls attempting to get auto rides south of Salem Thursday afternoon. Wil liams Bald the girls might have tried to hitch-hike south from Salem. One girl, 14, at the Lincoln school, and another girl, 12, at the Roberts school, south of Sa lem, each reported to officers that they had seen two girls late Thursday afternoon. The reports were made independently by the two girls. One of the informants said three Filipinos had been fol lowing the two girls. The other informant said she had not seen anyone following the girls. Neith er reporting child could positively identify the girls they saw as the ones police are seeking. Airplane Called Into Service Saturday Lee U. Eyerly and William BU ven, adjutant of Capital Post No. 9, American Legion, took off from the municipal airport yesterday afternoon and flew back and forth over the land and water where it was believed the missing girls might be found. On landing they reported having seen nothing sus picious. As tar as could be definitely established, the two children were last seen at the Shindler dairy on Riverside drive. A couple living nearby reported seeing two chil dren on a loosely bound log raft near the dairy. It was said they could easily hare slipped between these logs into the water. Descriptions given of the girls by the parents were: Betty Savage, 12, height three feet nine Inches; weight 71 pounds; slender build; very blonde complexion and light cur ly hair; blue eyes, wearing blue overalls, white middy, light blue collar; red-striped cream colored coat, tan brushed wool beret. Anabel Tooley, 9, height four feet, weight .76 pounds, stout build, dark complexion, dark brown -hair, brown eyes, wearing printed Bkirt of light background.

Low, command er of the veterans of Foreign Wars, and C. C. Gillis, commander of the United Spanish American W&r Veterans; to the Boy Scouts, by T. C. Roake, deputy commis sioner.
