an expenditure of $6,500,000.
Plans tor the particular crossings,
however, hare not been drawn
and, cannot be prepared until
more details of the. government's
specifications are received. Of this
grade crossing program, $4,222,
000' has been estimated s the cost
of the underground or overhead
crossings planned and $2,5X0.000
has been blocked off as the es
timated cost of the relocation
work which would be used for
many of the grade crossing plans.
Tor example, the proposed grade
elimination program would call
for an entire new location of the
Pacific highway between Junction
City and Eueene with the road
paralleling the Oregon Electric
tracks and the crossings of the
Southern- Pacific at Junction City
and again at Eugene, eliminated.
If the federal grants are spread
over two years, the 1935-1936
year of highway work in the state
will be approximately the same in
expenditure as the 1934-1935
year. In that period, now coming
to a close, the state received $3.
100.000 of outright grants from
PWA road funds, almost another
million dollars from the forest
road funds and $170,000 which
were spent on roads in public
lands.

its sue PRICE
WASHINGTON, April 10-(JP)-President
Roosevelt tonight in
creased the price the treasury will
pay for newly mined silver from
64 cents to 71 cents, effective
on production dating from April
10.
A presidential proclamation ac
companied the rise in the price of
the metal, an advance foreshadow
ed earlier In the day by Secretary
Morganthau.
The world price of the metal is
near 64 tents and the secretary
told reporters that the treasury
would meet and increase above
that point so far as newly mined
domestic silver was concerned.
The effect of the higher price
will mean an additional outlay of
more than $100,000,000 to the
United States in fulfilling the pro
visions of the silver purchase act.
This act, which requires a sil
ver monetary base equal to one
third of the gold reserve will
eventually force the nation to ac
quire about 51,950,967,067 worth
of silver, officials estimated.

'The Salem Credit association

WINTER WHEAT CHOP
BE SHORT. SAY
WASHINGTON, April 10.-(P-Another
short wheat crop was in
dicated today In the first depart
ment of agriculture forecast.
A winter wheat production of
$435,499,000 bushels was pre
dicted as compared with 405.
034,000 bushels produced last
year and a five-year average of
61S.186.000 bushels.
This, plus the 190,000,000
bushels spring wheat creap which
Secretary Wallace at his press
conference estimated would re
sult in a total of about 625,499,
000 bushels, only slightly above
the total domestic consumption
of 625,000,000 bushels.
There were possibilities that
this estimate might be high. The
weather bureau reported that
during the past week dry condi
tions and new dust storms con
tinued in the most severely af
fected drought area of the west
ern great plains and the crop re
porting boards mentioned the dry
siege.

Strike Vote
May Affect
All Mexico
MEXICO, D. F., April 10. -(jf)-A
nation-wide general strike in
sympathy with labor troubles In
Puebla and Tamplco was voted to
night by the general confedera
tion of workers and peasants
which claims more than 40,000
members.
No date was set, but leaders of
the organization said the strike
would be called within a few days
and without further notice unless
labor difficulties in various parts
of the country were settled.
Efforts were being made to end
the strike in Puebla where three
men were killed and 10 wounded
in a clash with federal troops yes
terday. Charging that 12 labor leaders
were shot and killed in Las Bay
as, Tamaulipas, last Saturday "by
spies of Governor Vlllareal" work
ers' organizations made plans for
general protest meetings through
out the state. No confirmation
of the supposed killings had been
received here.
Negotiations were under way In
Tampico for settlement of the
strike of electric company employ
ees which has tied up all industry
and commerce in that port.
Coats were shed here yesterday,
golf courses did a good business,
and gardeners, both vegetable and
flower, worked to their heart's
content throughout the day.
Spring had rounded the long cor
ner. The day was not extremely
warm but the bright sunshine was
a harbinger of more balmy April
days to come. The thermometer
went to 62 in mid-afternoon but
fell to one degree below the freez
ing mark early in the morning.
The outlook for today was for
fair weather with Friday cloudy
and rains probable in the south
west portion of the state.

Prospects for resumption of
work relief projects throughout
Marion county by next Monday,
looked good here late yesterday
although relief headquarters were
without official word from Port
land or Washington! to the effect
that men and women laid off this
week would be back at their jobs
when the new week came.
The probability of work lay in
the fact that unofficial reports
from Washington were that $930,
000 had been allocated to the
state for April's relief program
by the federal government. The
governor's office denied having
received any April apportionment
data up to late last night.
However, the apportionment
was known to be forthcoming
soon, sinee FERA has new funds
made available by executive order
of the president early this week.
Local relief headquarters were
getting all details prepared, sub
ject to a resumption of work pro
jects the moment official permis
sion is received from Portland. At
least two days are required to get
work notices to SERA employes
after the official notice to begin
work is received.

tne more man iwo score political
leaders and acquaintances who
conferred with him.
One group received whatone
of its members called a distinct
impression that Mr. Hoover does
not now Intend to seek the posi
tion. There were others, however,
who while not saying he would
"seek" the nomination, asserted
after talking with him that he
would like once more to carry the
republican standard against
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
A strictly local organisation de
scribed as "a group interested in
the local problems of needy per
sons whether or not on relief"
was formed at a meeting of ap
proximately 200 men and women
at Nelson hall last night. The Eco

was named, elected the following
officers:

tary, Chester Harness; executive
committee, R. D. Cooper, Ivan

Brown, S. Rutherford and K. A.

The league's program will aim
at "orderly means" of bettering
the condition of needy families.
Sweet said. Among the immediate
objectives are Increasing seasonal
labor wages and seeking worker
representation on relief commit
tees. It is understood the league
also will file information concern
ing the conduct of relief in this
county to Governor Martin's . re
lief investigating committee.
Headquarters will be opened
Friday at 421 Court street. The
next meeting will be held next
