' A campaign of public education and agitation intended to find its reflection in a change In the court's philosophy which led it to confine Interstate commerce, as Mr. Roosevelt interpreted the op inion, to goods in transit. Proceed with Program, Apparent Decision In a conference with three of his senate lieutenants late today, Mr. Roosevelt was reported to have agreed that congress should proceed with the legislative pro gram mapped out prior to the su preme court decision rather than attempt to draft something im mediately to replace the recovery law.

BALUCHISTAN'S QUE DEATHS EXCEED 20,000 Expected to Go Much Higher When Checkup Made in Outlying Regions No Americans Either Killed or Injured, Word From Consul at Karachi (Copyright, 1935. by Associated Press) KARACHI, IrrJia, May Zl.-iJPy-Three tremendous rumbling earth shocks shattered the northwest frontier city of Quetta early to day, killing an estimated 20,000 Europeans and natives. It was feared the death toll woudl go much higher with re ceipt of reports from outlying dis tricts, especially that between Quetta and Kalat. Tonight many of the dead still lay buried beneath debris, at which exhausted soldiers and vol unteer relief workers were fran tically tearing. Unnumbered thousands were left homeless, destitute and pan-ick-stricken when the three suc cessive quakes, the most violent last 60 seconds, racked their homes to pieces about them. Scores of British and Indian troops dropped in the streets from sheer exhaustion after unbroken hours of digging into debris, suc coring the uncounted injured and organizing relief activities. One relief train left Karachi to night. Another was being pre pared. Aboard It were physicians, nurses, railway men, medical sup plies and food. Messages from Quetta, sent by wireless because land lines were wrecked, said food was enough for several days. Few fresh details as to the ex tent of the catastrophy were forth coming owing to the destruction of the Quetta wireless station. Messages were being sent by way of.Sibi, 70 miles from Quetta. ; Meager advices said 50 Euro peans and 153 Indians injured in the quake had been extricated from the ruins by military rescue (Turn to Page 2, Col. 4) DEAL TO BE LARGE About 20 carloads of black cherries will be shipped from this district to eastern and midwest markets this season by the Sa lem Cherry Growers' association, according to present prospects, O. E. Brooks, manager, said yester day. The largest amount picked yet, estimated now at 10 car loads, will come from the big 215 acre Lambert a orchards near, here this year. Price prospects on the fresh shipment deal are the best in some years. Brooks says. The first carload of California blacks reaching the eastern markets re cently orougnt 22 cents per pound, which would mean about 15 cents to the shippers. With a short crop in California, Oregon cherries have a better chance than usual in the east. The California crop Is estimated at 30 to 40 per cent short, on the blacks, while in Oregon lacks. for fresh snipment are expected to run better than last , year and, about 75 per cent of a normal yield. . Growers averaged about 5 cents per pound on the black deal last year, Brooks said. First shipment from here will go out about July 1. it Is expected.

A number of written Inquiries have been re ceived about the proposed issue and several bond buyers have come to Salem to look over the terms on which the bonds will be put out. Formal advertise ments on the issue are being pub lished today and will be for warded to bond houses through out the northwest. June 17 the city of Salem will receive bids for 173,000 refund ing issue which will take the place of a like amount of Ban croft bonds whih will be called. These maturities will run from one to 10 years from the time of issue an dare expected to be greatly sought after by buyers. The water purchase bonds are serials, the maturity dates run ning from five to 30 years from the date of issue. One bond buy er here yesterday expressed the opinion that the city could make a much more favorable deal if. it would bring all the maturity dates to within 15 years of the time of issue. "This would undoubtedly ne cessitate the need for refinancing a part of the bonds when the 15 years were up but it would allow the city the advantages of the low rates now prevailing on short time securities," he observed. "We find no large buyers of bonds interested in maturities running beyond 15 jtears. "No one knows what the rate of interest will be at that time. On the other hand, the demand for short-time securities is huge. Buyers feel that they cannot lose much, even if inflation comes, by an investment in short-time se curities; they do not want to be caught, however, with long-time securities at low rates and to see inflation come and no opportun ity for them to get out of fixed yield securities except at a con siderable loss in principal." NORTH END OILING REQUESTS ON FILE Two requests for the county court to spend money oiling roads in the north end of Marion coun ty were filed with the court yes terday. The court has not yet de signated which roads It will oil In that district. One of the petitions asks for oiling of the road from the Cham- poeg park road to the St.-Paul Woodburn hirhway. There are many signers to the petition which sets out that the road should be oiled because of the heavy traffic each summer to Champoeg. The other petition asks fof oil ing of the Battle Creek road to Turner. The petitioners allege that heavy trucks, hauling rock from the crusher, throw so mucn dust, the crops along the road are harmed. The court. In the pe tition, is also asked to cut down the speed at which trucks are al lowed to run. over the road. Albert S.Wells, State's Chemist 24 Years, Called Following 24 years as state chemist.

Colorado and Wyoming listed 22 dead. Nebraska had uncon firmed reports of six more deaths. Two boys were reported drowned at Tokepa, Kan. Thirty families were driven to higher ground by the San Joaquin flood. More than 5000 acres of rich farming land were inundated with the crumbling of a levee 10 miles east of Manteca, Cal. Sixty SERA workers were rushed to cut through the levee below the break to relieve the pressure. The lower Missouri river reach ed flood stage, with the water from the Colorado and Wyoming deluge to come. The toll was uncertain as bro ken wires, blocked roads and darkness drew a curtain over the picture of devastation in south western Nebraska, eastern Col orado and Wyoming, where the raging waters rolled with great est fury. Torrential rains caused evac uations in the mid-continent as far south as the Texas border country. Unverified reports from Neb raska that the towns of Parks and Max had been washed away caused fears of an added death toll. Included in a maze of re ports was that six men perished at McCook when flood waters wrecked a bridge. Communication lines to south western Nebraska's flood area went out about 7 p. m., cutting off further word from McCook and other communities which were checking reports of millions of dollars property damage.

J. Kerr, chancellor of higher education in Oregon, tonight ans wered some of the charges mad by a committee of the American Association of University Profes sors and said criticism did net make it incumbent that he resign. "My responsibilities are to the board of higher education, to all of the institutions in the state sys tem and to the people of the en tire state," he said. Chancellor Kerr called atten tion to the fact that his resigna tion had been in the hands of the board for more than a year and declared he had given every as sistance possible toward selection of a successor. He declared many of the charg es In the report were "unaccom panied by any substantiating facts" and said the unified state system is "organized and func tioning on a practical working ba sis that has evoked the wide ad miration of educators." The A. A. U. P. report recom mended that Dr. Kerr be retired as chancellor to bring harmony to Oregon's system of higher edu cation. His statement follows, in part: "While I am informed that it is the customary procedure of the A. A. U. P. to supply advance proof of copies of impending re ports to principals concerned, I have not been supplied with such a copy either by .the committee or by the national body, though I note in the press that mimeo graphed copies have been circu lated by the association chapter at I.Q.M. . l iug vuij sig ment, therefore, I am dependent upon the press for information on the contents of the report. "It Is to be observed that the report is filled largely with the repetition of old 'charges against the chancellor, unsupported by ev idence or accompanied by findings of fact, though numerous recom mendations are included for the guidance of the state board of higher education. Charges against the board are repeated to the ef fect that bad Judgment and breach of faith was shown. . . . "As I stated when elected to the chancellorship in September, 1932, I had no illusions regarding the responsibilities to be carried or the difficulties to be surmount- t ed. The position was accepted with a view of helping develop the program established by the board. but with no thought or continuing in office beyond the period when the organization could be stabil ised and conditions became such that a successor suitable to the board could be obtained. "Although I have no desire to consider publicly the mass of ma terial which appears to have been taken before the committee, and which It now makes public, there are some charges of such a na ture as to Impugn my personal Integrity as a state educational officiaL To these I wish to give specific reply, since the public Is entitled to the facts. "1.. Statements repeated In the report that there was a direct or implied "deal" made with sne in connection with my appointment to the chancellorship are esttlrely unfounded. At no time When I was approached regarding accept ing the chancellorship . was the Zora-Maeeherson bill . ever, men tioned directly or Indirectly. Nor was there any. reference to . the chancellor's office. "2.
