Roosevelt today signed

Mr. Roosevelt expressed the
hope the new law enacted after

ery act would lead to more
peaceful industrial relations, but
he added this cautious note:
"'It may eventually eliminate
one major cause of labor disputes.
but it will not stop all labor dis
putes." In the statement accompanying
bis signature, the president said
the act "does not cover all indus
try and labor, but is applicable
only when violation of the legal
right of independent self-organi
zation would burden or obstruct
interstate commerce."

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

leading at the time.

said tonight, will refer to this as
the "age of insanity."
"I regard the vote on the utili

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

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."

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

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

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
