PACK TWELVE " TRe" OREGON STATESMAN." Salem." Oregon, Sunday Morning. July Zl, 1S33T FECIAL STATE SESSION LDQiS Governor to Call It Soon; : Recall and Suit Talk I Fading Rapidly (Continued from Page 1) tall and test suits to occupy the attention of the big family under the non-existent dome. Allstate officials and particularly the state board of control have stayed as siduously on the Job this year. The past week came and went with no individual or group step ping up with the rumored recall petitions and getting them out in to the highways and byways in an effort to unseat Governor Martin. The j governor has dignified the newspaper reports of a possible recall by continued references to It ift his speeches and has gone so lur us ii nay mai uc wuum uui shy away from a fight but would be the first to sign a recall peti tion and to help thereby to deter mine what kind of a eovernment the citiiens of Oregon want. Prospect of Recall Election is Remote Unless some untoward incident develops the calling out of the " guard, the -wounding of some striker by the state police inci dents not liable to happen with the strike trouble waning this writer does not believe a recall move will go beyond newspaper surmise or hotel-lobby talk. The people who would like to see the recall men like Peter Zimmer man. Richard Neuberger, et al, lack money to finance a campaign - and even if they possessed such money the new barrier against paying solicitors of recall peti tions is r a sizeable barrier1 in a quest for 51,000 petition names. Ray Gill, head of the state grange, may dislike Mr. Martin greatly but he is not going to stick his bead up and take the lead in an out-and-out recall movement; he would find too great a desertion within his own ranks. Attitude of Hanzen Highly Significant Henry Hanzen, right bower of the Meier administration, has - been associated with the move to test Governor Martin's eligibility to office as well as to recall him. This Hanzen denies in the current issue of his Portland paper. In a leading editorial he terms Ralph Watson, Oregon Journal writer who makes such an accusation, a "liar" and in another article Han sen declares that he favors neith er the test suit on Martin's salary, nor a test suit on his right to hold office and draw a major-general's pay, nor the circulation of a re call petition. One may interpret this out-and-out stand by the ex Warwick of Oregon politics in two ways: either he never favored such a move on the existing chief executive or else he once did but found out' in the astute Hanzen manner that the brain child of his possible fatherhood was unpopu lar with the public hence should be speedily and publicly thrown Into the river. The press of the state has been extremely friendly to Governor Martin la discussing salary, elig ibility and recall matters. Repub lican editors such as the rock-ribbed Ingalls of, Corvallis have re versed their typewriters and for once at least written fulsome com mendations of a democrat in of fice, a feat so unusual it deserves attention in the annals of Oregon political history. Whatever comes, the general can depend on a friendly press. Illustrative was -the unanimity with which the scribes assembled at the Hood River convention pulled them selves to their feet to applaud General Martin when he made a rip-snorting off-the-record speech at the annual gridiron banquet. Witfle the spotlight logically play on the snowy head of the governor, Ruf us Holman and Earl Snell are basking in some of the reflection. There has been no at tempt byK the governor to domin ate the news columns at the state house, Holman fairly shed tears of, gratitude when Governor Mar tin came round to the state treas urer's "plan of paying for the C42.JiVUi UU fc V oiatc fctu uuu. 0ack accord for Mr. Holman was o unusual, so greatly in contrast wltli those turbulent Meier days WW lia rVABflttraV fltlll VAVDfnni fought on the drop of a stenogra pher's eyelash, that the state treasurer has announced he will personally take the stump for Mr. Martin In event recall comes, and go hk windy way about the state urging -voters to retain their dem ocratic chieftain, dona Looks Ahead I 1830 Campaign fiufus has his hobbies still in mlud: pinching pennies on the .cost et state cars, a centralized iteating, telephone and lighting system, consolidation of the tate s -various iarm operations but in the main his gaze is on the bigger and more Interesting at tain of building a new statehouse and the is happier than he has been la years. It is not too early, one sees, to think of '36. The state ' constitution forbids any of the major elective officers to hold of fice mora than 8 years in 12 and Holman In '36 will be finishing his sixth, year. However in the -case of Ben Olcott the attorney-general ruled that the time served under appointment by the governor did not Count towards the eight-year limitation.' If Mr. Holman can off set the statewide Impression that he cannot work with other people, his chances might be materially Improved another year after the " "inglorious defeat he suffered at the republican gubernatorial prl- maries last year. , . -, Rnell Work Hard At Secretary Job -. i EarttW. Snell is morning noon-and-night worker at his new secretary of state's job. He la mas tering the details of the office with the view thereby to become a more effective administrator. Like other secretaries and other state officials. Mr, Snell carries a mar shall baton in his knapsack and will miss no tricks in seeing that the political fields are tilled. He Elizabeth Stockhausen Has Role of Manager at Salem Producers' Co-op Cannery A woman. In the role of can nery manager is something new in the annals of packing plants in this section, but this has been the rule at the Salem Producers Cooperative Packing company since the present ! canning season opened. She is iMiss Elizabeth Stockhausen, bookkeeper at the cannery since it was founded by 150 growers 14 years ago. When Frank Gibson, manager since the co-op's; inception, re signed - nearly two , months ago due to ill health, Miss Stock hausen became acting manager, which post she has since filled with few persons! any the wiser. She will continue in this capacity until the board Of five directors of whom Paul Wallace Is presi dent, selects a successor. Is Well Prepared Naturally the years she has worked there made it easy for her to step into the managerial shoes with assistance of the di rectors, but Miss Stockhausen de clared yesterday! she has no thought of continuing in that post and that she will be lust as happy handling her old work when the directors see fit to choose a permanent successor to Mr. Gibson, who has retired to his farm in Polk county. A number of f applicants are seeking the post, though with the 1935 canning season nearly half over, it may be that a man to fiil the vacancy will not be se lected until after the present season. Tonnage About Same Last year the producers packed about 2125 tons of fruit, includ ing the tonnage of dried prunes handled, and the operations this is young, capable, extremely per sonable and prpved himself a statewide vote getter, a man who could line up great flocks of votes in the spring and fall campaign of 1934. Ahead is the governor ship, the senatorship who can tell? Mr. Snell is following the pro cedure of the late Hal E. Hoss. He has in his organization two ardent supporters of Mr. Hoss: Miss Phillips, capable secretary and the well-known "Doc" Riley. The latter is keeping steady check on the newspapers, seeing to it that letters go out by the score to per sons who have received business, social or political recognition, let ters of condolence to grieved fam ilies, and so on. Dr. Riley is on the stump, too, whether the oc casion be an Italian bazaar or a G. O. P. picnic and Mr. Snell him self is making constant contacts through bis speaking engage ments. At the moment Snell is the best white hope for the republi can party to regain a considerable measure of control under the dome. There will be some shakeups shortly in the state liquor admin istration but the higher-ups are to stay which means the entire com mission and Jack Allen and Eu gene Keltyj The latter, while a re publican, fs an j excellent execu tive, a friend of Arthur McMahan, commission chairman, and unless he rises so high the democrat pie eaters can s.ee hilm, Kelty can de pend on his jobj Report is that District Supervisor Hickam who came onto the scene with ex-Administrator Sammis, will be oust ed, for real or fancied insubordin ation. McMahan is taking a great personal interest in the adminis tration of the liquor commission, giving attention to details which heretofore the commission de pended entirely upon its hired managers to attend to. The report has been circulated that the old commission loaded the state with expensive commit ments in liquor stocks which the new administration could not sell. Actually the old administration made commitments which did not Involve a cash outlay because its working funds were limited and every dollar it laid hands upon was being poured out for relief. The new commission chose to re tain more cash, cut. down its pay ables but meanwhile the state has had to borrow more money to pay for its 1250,000 monthly relief bill. In the main it was tweedle- dee or tweedledum whether the state should drain its liquor fund to save borrowing and perhaps lose some discounts or borrow heavily for relief and build up its liquor funds. The state's own brands of liquor proved quite popular but the sellers of adver tised brands and the makers of blended liquors kicked so loudly the commission liquidated its own O. S. L. C. stocks. The job held by A. A. Schramm is being solicited for ex-Governor Ben Olcott by many of the latter's friends, most active of whom is Oswald West, himself an ex-governor and a brother-in-law of Ol cott. West has heartily disliked Schramm for years and has never failed to put Mm under fire at legislative sessions when the small loan act came up. The State Bank ers' association is strong for the Incumbent superintendent of banks-and will bitterly protest his removal. Under the Meier admin lstrauon, jkuius Hoiman was ready to vote for Fred Callister of Albany for state; bank superinten dent but that project flopped and Schramm held his Job. The state board of control, serving as the state banking board, chooses the banking superintendent and the governor , has " only one vote. Schramm , and Olcott are both re publicans. Reappointment of Charles Pray as state superintendent of police was expected and merited. In the four years which J have passed since Smedley Butler came out to set up the organization all he did wasto.make deadlines and collect his fee Pray has. done an admirable Job of organization.' He has 437 men, well-trained, well groomed and efficient-so much so that the Oregon state police system has attracted national at tention. ' " ;rv . year,wni run aboot the same ton nage, the acting directors antici pates. Operations for the first half of this- season will be. com pleted Monday, when the berries and the sour cherry packs ' are wound up. The second , half of the operating Bason will ; start with blackberries about the mid dle of August, with pears ' and prunes, both for canning i and drying, to follow. Pear Crop Promising The pear crop belonging. to" the co-op growers is reported to be in excellent condition, with pros pects of a quality crop. Largest pear growers for the cannery are Paul Wallace and the Reynolds estate. For the pear season this year, automatic pear peelers, tried last year, will not be used, inasmuch as no saving was ef fected through their use. last season. All last year's pack, with ex ception of pears, has been well cleaned up. During Gibson's years as man-' ager of the co-op, the original plant was constructed, and, re constructed about three years ago when fire destroyed the original plant. A large prune drier to handle surplus prunes of the grower members was constructed last year and put into use last fall for the first time, and last year the cannery sunk its own well to insure an adequate and economical supply of water at all times. Miss Stockhausen, prior to tak ing the office post with the pro ducers, had considerable experi ence as an employe In a New York brokerage office handling western dried fruit and cannery products. DEW PRAISES ' CHOICE OF BHD Following the 60-day period during which he will assist with the transfer of the water utility here to municipal management. T. Delaney, present manager for the Oregon-Washington Wa ter Service company, will be trans ferred to the company's main of fice at San Francisco, he stated last night. Asked for a statement in con nection with the selection of Cay- ler van Patten as manager, by the city water board Friday night, Mr. Delaney said: "Having known Mr. Van Patten during nearly all of the six years I have been in Salem, I consider the city fortunate in securing him as manager of the water system. He is a fine man for the position. I will cooperate in every way possible during my stay here, to ward getting the new system started." Flood Control Projects Given Okeh in Report Congressman James W. Mott has been advised by the war de partment that the report of the di vision engineer on the flood con trol survey of the lower Columbia river recently completed under authority of Congressman Mott's amendment to H. R. "9433 (Pub lic No. 339, 73rd Congress), re commends the construction of flood control works in 29 dis tricts or flood control areas on the lower Columbia in Oregon. The report recommends that one-half of the first cost of the construction of these works be borns by the federal government and one-half by the districts bene fitted or by the state and districts combined. It also recommends that the cost of maintenance after construction be borne by the dis tricts benefitted. Large Quantity Of Fruit Put Up Here, First Half Approximately 750,000 cases of fruit were processed by Salem canneries during the first half of the 1935 canning season, it was estimated here today. : " The summary included 500 tons of Etterberg strawberries,"7 2250 tons of loganberries, 5000 tons of cherries, 1500 tons of red raspber ries, 300 tons of black raspberries and 200 tons of gooseberries. INEBRIATION CHARGED Drunk and disorderly Charges filled the police blotter last night as officers staged a cleanup cam paign on dance halls in a small way. E. Brungild, Harvey Quistad of Salem, and four unidentified CCC troopers were booked on drunk and disorderly charges. B. K. Chapman of Cascadla CCC camp was lodged in jail on a charge- of drinking in a public dance hall. mm sra"0!a m mm HMt m M . act, cn t wtwMU 3wT is .

Political Move Seen Close friends of Governor Mar tin ventured the assertion that the signers of the petitions were not as much Interested in the investigation as they were in em barrassing the executive. Included among the signers of the petitions were Peter Zimmer man, Dr. A. Slaughter and a num ber of other persons not in sym pathy with Governor Martin's policies. Petitions containing the names of several thousand persons op posing the investigation have been received at the exesutive department. Come often to disposal!
