Executive Irate at Move by
Umatilla Townsendites;
Scorns Intimidation
Criminal Law Cited; State
Executive Explains His
Plans For Relief
Threats of recall directed at
Governor Charles H. Martin if
he did not support the Townsend
old-age pension flan met an
abrupt statement yesterday from
the executive that he "would not
submit to such intimidation." At
the same time Governor Martin
cited Section 14-405 of the Ore
gon code making it a crime to
Intimidate of threaten any state
officer.
The governor's statement fol
lowed receipt of a letter from
the Umatilla County Townsend
Old-Age Pension clubs, in which
the "officials of the organization
said:
"We stand one hundred per
cent against your relief program
as outlined and Senator Wagner's
old-age pension bill. Old people
are not looking for dole or char
ity, nor are we ready to accept
blood money from our state sa
loons. "Should these bills be passed
(the relief measures now In the
legislature) and should you re
fuse to memorialize congress to
jass the McGroarty bill we stand
ready to take the field "in Uma
tilla county and elsewhere in the
state for a recall measure for
each and everyone who supports
such legislation. We work for
those who work for us."
Threat at Democracy,
Governor Asserts
The letter angered the gover
nor. "Who is going to run the
executive department of trh e
state, the gOTernor or these
blocs?" he questioned. "What is
this leading to anyway? Is every
public official te- b subjected to
the annoyance of these things.
Such actions end majority rule
and destroy our institutions and
our democracy."
In making his statement that
he would not submit tc any "in
timidation" Governor Martin re
ferred to an Oregon law provid
ing heavy penalties for anyone
attempting to bribe or Intimidate
an official. .Commenting further
n the Pendleton letter. Martin
said: "This Is just a sample 01
many of su.h letters I have re
ceived as executive of this state."
He b r o u g 1 1 out the recall
threat after outlining I the vress
the efforts he had made in re
cent weeks to provide for the re
lief needs of the state.
"I waa served with notice the
other day by long distance phon"
that the government would cease
any further appropriations to
Oregon March 1 unless we did
so'mething to help ourselves.
Promises No Good

"When I told federal officials
that the legislature would pass
laws to make possible a contri
bution of $ ,500,000 for the next

not enough, that good intentions

Compromise
Anent Wages
Turned Down
WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-JP)-The
much tossed-about 24,886,
000,000 relief bill continued to
night the key log In the legisla
tive Jam that has made this con
gress the most unproductive la
recent years.
Under the surface efforts to
untangle the senate-White House
deadlock, caused by adoption of
the McCarran prevailing wage
amendment, apparently met with
little success during the day. But
democratic leaders asserted the
negotiations would continue over
the week-end.
The one outright move of the
day, a "concession" proposal by
Senator McCarran (D-Nev), was
turned down flatly by Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the major
ity leader.
Acting v ith the approval of the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor, McCarran
suggested an addition to his
amendment that would authorize
the president to fix the number
of hours men might work at the
prevailing wage. This, he con
tended, , would avoid increasing
the cost of the program.
At his press conference, the
president declined to discuss the
controversy and said no confer
ence had been arranged with
congressional leaders. This, and
Robinson's cold shoulder to Mc
Carran's proposal, was taken to
indicate that the administration
intended to stand fast for the or
iginal bill.

drowned in Clifton slough to
day when he fell from a fish

The boy'3 father, Leon Beg

such an amendment In the bill
would prevent Oregon timber

they declared.

the bill had received the careful

specifically mentioned In the Sny

ern Oregon had waited for years
for these roads and declared they
should be built before roads al
ready oiled or paved are rebuilt
or new western Oregon roads con
structed.

Governor to Sign This Morn
And Phone Washington;
Expects Response
Siren and Whistle to Give
Word if Fund Tangfe
Straightened Out
Way for reestablishment of re
lief funds from the federal gov
ermnment for Oregon was paved
late yesterday when the senate
rushed through an appropriation
measure passed Thursday in' th
house providing an additional $4.
000,000 from liquor revenues for
direct work relief in Oregon.
The bill was laid on the gov
ernor's desk late yesterday for sig
nature. He is expected to sUn
the measure this morning and to
inform Washington of his action
by telephone. The administration
is hopeful that federal relief of
ficials, when informed that Ore
gon's major relief measure is law,
will release March relief funds to
the state.
The bill makes only a slight
amendment to the state relief act
of 1933. That law provided a $3,-
000,000 appropriation from liquor
revenues for relief work. The
new measure increases this auth
orization to 85.500.000. Since
only 11,500,000 of the original
authorization has been used, the
remaining appropriation will be
$4,000,000.
Borrowing on Later
Receipts Necessary
State officials expect extensive
borrowing on anticipation revenue
certificates will be needed as
$250,000 a month is being used by
the-state for its share with the
federal government providing for
Oregon's relief needs. Liquor
revenues are not bringing In more
than half this amount each 30
days.
SERA work projects In Marion
county remained at a standstill
all day yesterday with no Indica

"We have to wait for the state

ized." At present all relief worlc
with the exception of emergencies
has stopped.
Bulletins will be posted, Niles
Indicated, as soon as word saying
relief money is received. The fire

Electric company's whistle will
also announce the news when it
comes.
