Oregon's 'Application ' for
Building Grant Held Up
for This Reason
Statesman Advised Action
by PWA to Await Plea
for Site Funds
The growing demand for a
larger site for the new Oregon
capitol has commanded attention
at Washington; D. C, it was learn
ed last night by The Statesman
when the Associated Press, in a
special dispatch, reported that the
application for a $1,575,000 grant
for Oregon was being; held up
pending the filing of an additional
request for funds for the acquisi
tion of a suitable site.
Word came late yesterday
through the offices of Senator
Fred Steiwer in Washington that
PWA would probably delay action
on the initial application Kf Or
egon prepared and submitted a
request for funds to assist in ob
taining more room for the pro
posed building.
PWA to Seek
Early Action
Earl action will be sought by
PWA, according to the special dis
patch. PWA officials were represented
to be anxious to assist the state
in its new capitol program but
were delaying the state's applica
tion, which has been in Washing
ton a week, for more data on the
site.
Governor Charles II. Martin was
at The Dalles last night and could
not be reached for comment" "nut
before his departure for the 'Le
gion convention Wednesday he
again stated that more grounds
were imperative before the state
could begin to replace the struc
ture destroyed bf fire here April
25. It is expected that the gov
ernor will meet PWA'S request
for an amended or additional ap
plication for funds as soon as he
can convene the state board of
control.
Previously PWA has stated at
Washington that it had funds
available for building sites where
necessity arose. Local citizens be
lieve It will be possible to use
4 5 per cent federal money and
55 per cent state money to ac
quire the additional site for the
state capitol which is the unanim
ous recommendation of the state
planning commission.
SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 15.-jP)
.The bullet-punctured car in
which three Rosalia bank robbers
escaped yesterday after killing
town Marshal Bert Lemley was
found late today in a country
school yard near Spangle, 20 miles
south of here.
Sheriff Ralph Buckley of Spo
kane county reported the discov
ery after a rural mail carrier, O.
L. Tale, told him of the .sus
picious car.
Hunt. Scene Shifts
The new development veered
th center of the widespread man
hunt from central Idaho to the
Spokane region. Officers of two
states had converged near Sand
ers, Idaho, on a truck driver's re
port of having seen the escape
sedan, a . maroon Chevrolet, in
that area.
Federal, state, county and city
officers were maintaining a close
watch on all highways.
Buckley said the abandoned car
indicated clearly that the robbers
had inserted a steel plate in the
back for protection.

State; Bonus is Demanded
THE DALLES. Ore., Aug. 15,-W)-Frank
L. Belgrano of Sau
Francisco, national commander of
the American Legion, today told
delegates to Oregon's state Legion
convention that "it is time to
force congress to cease playing
political football with the bonus
question."
The immediate cash payment
of the bonus still ranks foremost
in the national organization's
long list of major objectives,
Belgrano declared.
He laid part of the blame for
delay In obtaining payment of ad
justed compensation certificates
on members of the Legion and
auxiliary, saying that "the people
of America know too little con
cerning the platform of the Am
erican Legion."
Legionnaires should have "gone
forth long ago to Inform the pub
lic as to the exact meaning of the
certificates," he declared.
Issue Not Dead Till
Congress Quits, Says
In regard to action by this ses
sion of congress, the national
commander said: "As far as I am
J. T. Brand
throughout the state. Under an
act passed by the 1935 legisla-
ture, the new organization will
have full power, subject to ratifi
cation of the supreme court, to
admit members to the bar and
to discipline and to expel mem
bers. Winners in the second district
were Harvey H. Dearmond, Bend;
Colon R. Eberhard, LaGrande,
and A. A. Smith, Baker. There
were seven candidates in this dis
trict. Successful candidates In the
third district, Multnomah county,
were Arthur M. Geary, Nicholas
Jaureguy and Robert H. Magulre,
all of Portland. There were 21
candidates in the third district.
Approximately 14 75 votes were
cast. Voting closed at 5 p.m. yes
terday. The votes were canvassed by
Edward E. Sox, Albany;' John Guy
Wilson, Portland, and Arthur S.
Benson, clerk of the state supreme
court.
The newly selected governors
will meet here in September to
organize the association.

Concerning other activities of
the organization. Belgrano said
the Legion was preparing to

fare work during the next year.
Proponents of dictatorships
were slapped when the national
commander declared:
"Here in America there Is
room for but one 'ism' and that
is Americanism."
Belgrano is to leave tomorrow

EMTIO ELY NEW
COURTHOUSE IS
HEWLETT'S IDEA
Commissioner Advises Delay
Till Postoffice, State
Capitol Plans Drawn
County Should Budget Funds
for New Building Over
3-Year Term, Says
An entirely new courthouse
building, with funds provided by
Marion county over a three or
four-year period is favored by
Leroy Hewlett, county commis
sioner, he announced yesterday.
Hewlett said he was not adamant
in his position but took the stand
that the courthouse, when built,
should be in harmony with the
new federal and. state buildings.
Hewlett made his announce
ment before the convening of the
all-county committee of 25 which
was named in May by the county
court to consider the courthouse
problem. The exact date when that
committee will be convened had
not been set yesterday by County
Judge Siegmund but a call of the
group was considered imminent.
The county planning board held
up its special meeting scheduled
last night to await the action of
the county court's own group.
"I realize the need for a new
structure," Hewlett declared.
"Having first hand knowledge of
the financial condition of the
county and also having the same
sort of knowledge in regard to the
hard pressed taxpayer, I am very
much in favor of taking a con
servative course.
Uniform Design for
Civic Center Suggested
"A new capitol building will be
a reality In the next two or three
years; a new Salem postoffice
building was allowed by congress
yesterday and these two projects
together with the immense
amount of WrPA work will un
doubtedly create a shortage of
labor, which will mean higher
wages and increased cost of ma
terial. Another angle of the mat
ter worth considering is the archi
tectural unity of the Salem civic
center why not wait awhile, ex
amine the plans of the proposed
postoffice and capitol, then de
sign a new courthouse to conform.
"I am prepared to present fig
ures and facts relative to red tape
and restrictions in the matter of
these alleged free grants of fed
eral money, and I think you will
be convinced that Marion county
will do well to wait and build on
its ownreserve."

NEW YORK, Aug. 15. -)-Senator
Long of Louisiana an
nounced his availability for the
presidency of the United States
today, first, however, corralling
his declaration behind a bristling
stand of "lfs."
Long's declaration, confirming
reports recently current in Wash
ington, was made behind a bar
rage of colorful expletives pepper
ing his observations of the new
deal, former President Hoover,
the tax bill, and his old foemen,
Senators Robinson of Arkansas
and Harrison of Mississippi.
The senator's announcement
had for its primary and imme
diate purpose the stirring into ac
tion of both democratic and re
publican parties along liberal
lines.
Wants to Scare
Both Parties
"I want to scare them," he de
clared. "If the republicans give the
nomination to Hoover, if the
democrats choose Roosevelt, and
if there is no other liberal can
didate, I'm perfectly willing to be
an independent candidate," he
said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-JP)-Stepping
unexpectedly onto the
senate lobby commitiee's witness

described efforts to change the
editorial policies of newspapers
favoring the Public Utility bill.
The millionaire dictator of the

the object of a suddenly-stilled

been cited for contempt by the

by Baron Aloisi
PARIS. Aug. 15.-;P)-Baron
Pompeo Aloisi, head of the Ital

conference opening tomorrow, in
formed the British representative
Anthony Eden, tonight that Italy's
minimum demand for peaceful
settlement of her dispute with
Ethiopia was occupation of Ethi

Aloisi said Premier Mussolini

order to proride for the enforce'

Ethiopia Most Respect
Proposed Concessions
Italy, he said, would not be able
to accept the British plan for eco
nomic concessions in Ethiopia un
less Italy could make Ethiopia re
spect them. This, he said, would
mean Italy must keep armed fore
ea in the East African country.
Aloisi was induced to call on
Eden, it was learned, by Premier
Pierre Laval after the Italian had
refused to visit the British diplo
mat separately on the eve of the
scheduled conference between del
egates of the French, Italian and
British governments.
After the meeting it was said
in informed quarters their post
