Ill IS FAVORED "Of FOLKS IT SAN FRANCISCO, July Seven thousand miles away from Wimbledon, in the home sector of the two famous Helens of tennis, it was Helen Wills Moody who was favored today to beat her arch rival, Helen Jacobs, tomor row in what is expected to be one of the great court battles of the age. The Berkeley tennis club, home club of both stars, polled strongly in-favor of Mrs. Moody but not for sentimental reasons. The con sensus was that the older of the two Helens would come through with flying colors mainly. because of her court strategy. Opinions Differ Miss Jacobs had her supporters, toTrwho believed she would.prove conclusively this time she is the better of the two players, thus set tling a two-year argument that has been raging since Mrs. Moody injured her back and defaulted during the national classic at For est Hills, N. Y. Miss Jacobs was leading at the time. "I pick Helen," was the way C. W. "Pop". Fuller, who has coached both the players, put It. He wouldn't say which Helen.

Some division developed on this point, midwesterner urging "farmer-labor" and some easterners "the commonwealth party." No mention of candidates was expected, but Gov. Floyd Olson. Minnesota farmer-labor leader, who sent a greeting, had some support for eventual presidential nomination. Howard Y.

Ore., July i.-JP)-Some future Aistorian-philoso-pher, former United States sen ator James A. Reed of Missouri said tonight, will refer to this as the "age of insanity." "I regard the vote on the utili ty bill not so much indicative of the legislative mind as it Is of a change of the public mind," said the democrat, here from Kansas city to visit relatives. "I think the majority of con gressmen who have voted in the past two years for these outrage ous measures and policies did so because they thought the presi dent was popular and by follow ing him they could be sure of their own re-election. "I don't believe they voted their honest sentiments in most cases. Some of them, of course, did so; some didn't know any better." (Turn to Page 2, Col. 3) LYNCH RESIGNS TO TIKE FEDERAL JOB Representative Paul Lynch, democrat, who represents four counties in the Oregon legisla ture, tendered his resignation yesterday to Governor Martin. Lynch resigned, he said, because he had secured a position with the United States government which disqualified him from fur ther holding of the state office. He did not designate what his new position is to be. Lynch represented Morrow, Gil liam, Sherman and Wheeler coun ties in the legislature and the county courts of these four dis tricts nrust meet to select his suc cessor. Inasmuch as nine of the 12 members of ths courts are republicans, it Is probable that Lynch 'a successor will be ft mem ber of that party. Under the 13S Oregon law, the secretary of state must call the special meeting of the county courts to fill a vacancy in a leg islative office.

INDIGENTS' RELIEF FUND NEARLY GONE Call Upon State Soon to Be Necessary; Causes of Increase Listed Unprecedented demands for re lief of unemployable and indigent persons in Marion county have exhausted $50,000 of the 360,000 appropriated by the county court for 1935, in the first six months of the year, the county clerk's office reported yesterday. Funds on hand will' not pay for care of indigents' throughout August. The county, shortly will be forced to ask the state relief committee to grant it its portion of the $1,000,000 fund appropri ated by the 1935 legislature for indigent care in 1935 and 1936. This fund is to be distributed to counties on the basis of need and not by population as was first planned. State to Disburse According to state officials, the state relief committee will dis burse the funds, allowing coun ties to issue orders for relief of its indigents and when these have been duly audited, the state re lief committee through its county setup, will pay the county's claims. The increase this year has been occasioned by three factors : First, the increased number of persons seeking direct relief from the county; second, the better class of "service" demanded, including hospitalization, medical cafe and medicine; third, the large group of so-called unemployable people who are no longer eligible for care by the county relief commit tee.
