PROGRAM IS TOPIC Means of retaining and develop ing the Boy Scout program In Cascade area Marion, Polk and Linn counties will be discussed by area councllmen with James E. West, national chief executive, and Arthur Schnck, chief of the division of operations, at the northwest regional scout confer ence to be held at Portland next Monday. The area here has been hard pressed for funds the past several years and last summer was forced to drop Its paid execu tive. The area council since that time has collected sufficient mon ey to pay off $1300 on its deficit and meet operating expenses but ha.s not yet put its affairs in shape to permit hiring an execu tive, as is expected to be required by Bcout authorities. Monday s .conference, which a number of Salem men, including A. C. Haag, council president, will attend, will open with a noon luncheon at the Benson hotel. Fol lowing afternoon meetings there, a banquet will be held at the Port land Masonic temple at 6:30 p. m. If today follows the brilliant example of yesterday the good old tradition of a stormy vernal equinox will be smashed. In case you don't remember what an equi nox Is, it occurs March 21 and signifies the intersection of the great circle described by the sun with the terrestrial equator. The equinox happens in the fall, too. on September 21 Today the sun should rise at 6 a. m. and set at 6 p. m. as the earth has exactly half of Its sphere exposed to old Sol. Violent storms throughout the world are traditional during the equinox period, said to be caused by the united tidal action of the sun and moon upon the atmosphere, which is greater at this time than at any other. Spring begins officially today but since Oregon has been enjoy ing warm .weather for the past two months it Is doubtful If the vernal equinox will cause much stir. CWA Rock Crusher 7?

MMDECBIHCIS I, PORTLAND, March 20.-(ff-A speedy determination of the legal ity of the Portland milk ordinance which provides for degrading milk will be sought, City Attorney James Bain said. Tomorrow he will file answer to the H. E. Kriger suit to prevent the city to degrade his milk from "A" to "B" without submitting it to a board of arbitration. A temporary restraining order against effectiveness of the de grading was granted today by Cir cuit Judge L. P. Hewitt When the city answer is filed date for hearing on a permanent injunc tion will be held. Judge Hewitt held that "if the milk were unclean it would be the duty of the city to debar it from sale altogether. ... To degrade the milk merely means that the price would be lowered and those less able to protect themselves from disease or an epidemic would purchase and use it." Kriger may sell his milk as grade "A" pending final action. Lee Centennial Jaunt to Coast Latest Request OCEAN LAKE. Ore..

Hi NT Today & ThurscL lay et inursciay One of the Strangest Ever Filmed! E Says He Refused CWA Job Because He Was Under Care of Doctor Replying yesterday to charges that he had refused to accept a CWA job last January, Albert Wood of West Salem declared he had been injured while working tor the Spauldlng Logging com pany last December and was under a physician's care at the time such employment was offered him. The charge that he had refused to work was made Saturday night by Lelf Fniseth, Polk county CWA director. . Wood said progress was being made towards clearing the relief situation in West Salem. "The working people of West Salem desire a change in the dis tribution of Red Cross relief and many of them, including several business men, are signing the copy of the petition that was taken to Portland last Friday as we prom ised the state relief office 100 signatures on the petition." Wood explained. "We feel that we Bhould have just as good a relief system as the city of Salem where the workers receive plenty of food, clothes and fuel, and God knows as well as the people that we don't get it In West Salem un der the present system. "If your charges are false why do not these gentlemen offer to go with us and face the people who have signed these petitions which state they have not had ad equate relief. My wife and chil dren asked for clothes and fuel last December when I was crippled and they did not receive either clothes or fuel. If anyone cares to go with us we can lead them to a large number of homes in West Salem where the people are afraid to complain for fear their food and CWA work will be cut off by the powers that be in West Salem and Dallas." Wood further stated that he had never been known as Harvey, as stated Saturday by Finseth. Arguments for Ekwall Filing Heard Tuesday Arguments of attorneys were heard in the state supreme court yesterday In the mandamus pro ceeding brought by Circuit Judge Ekwall of Portland to compel P J Stadelman, secretary of state. to file his declaration of candidacy for the republican nomination for representative in congress from the third congressional district. Stadelman refused .to file the declaration on the ground that Ekwall had signed an oath that he would not accept any office other than a Judicial office dur ing the term for which he was elected.

Riley, who is under death sentence for slaying his wife, Hilda Riley, at Burns on October 31, 1932. Riley also was alleged to hare shot and killed his father-in-law, Carey Thorn burg, but he was not tried for this offense. The law provides that Riley will now have to be returned from the state penitentiary to Harney county for re-sentencing. Records in the case show that Riley and his wife had some do mestic difficulties with the result that she left him in Portland in September, 1932, and returned to the home of her parents at Burns. Mrs. Riley later filed suit for div orce against her husband but this had not been disposed of at the time of the tragedy. SENATE ASKS FOB ITS HOARDER LIST WASHINGTON, March 20.-UP) -The senate today was in the un usual position of demanding from the treasury a list of silver hoard ers assembled by authority of its own subpoenas. Special agents of the treasury, acting at Secretary Morgenthau's direction, obtained the long list of persons holding speculative silver stocks on the New York market. But the stimulus which made sil ver dealers supply the names was the authority of senate subpoenas. This was disclosed today after senate approval of the resolution of Senator Robinson (R., Ind.) asking the treasury for the list which Morgenthau has said show ed some silver advocates to be "not disinterested" in the market. Shortly after the senate vote, Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the banking committee, visited Mor genthau s office. At the treasury it was thought likely that when the senate resolu tion had been delivered, Morgen thau would forward the names on file, though the Robinson resolu tion would permit a refusal "if not compatible with the public In terest." Voters to Ballot on Manager Plan The proposed charter amend' ment to create a managerial form of government for Salem will be brought before the voters by in itiative petition In November if the council refuses to call a spe cial election for the purpose May 18, Mayor Douglas McKay de clared yesterday.

"We'll have the one-mile track ready by fall," he declared. "Our track will be the best this side of Caliente." Gehlhar said space for county exhibits had been changed and improved with the hope that each of Oregon's 36 counties would have a display this year. Salem people will be asked to use a new entrance developed at the south side of the fairgrounds. In this way blocking of the Pa cific highway will be obviated. The fair director cited as im provements 764 lineal feet of new buildings constructed, one and one-half miles of parking rails, 37 buildings repaired and partially or entirely repainted, six acres of lawns and one-half mile of new flower beds.
