OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 20-(.p-For the first time since the intrepid airman first emblazoned his name on the skyways of the world, a Wiley Post homecoming was a solemn occasion tonight. A quiet, orderly erowd stood mutely by as a silver, twin-motored plane settled slowly to earth, at the municipal airport at 3:54 p.m. (CST). It was Wiley Post's last landing. It ended an air journey of 4500 miles from the bleak Alaskan scene of the crash that took his life and the life of another of Ok lahoma's famous sons, Will Rog ers. His widow, parents, and other relatives did not go to the airport, preferring to be alone when they received their dead. Those in the crowd stood silent .as the hearse swung out of the hangar, dropped in behind a cor don of motorcycle officers, and started from the field. -The hearse bore the remains of the famed flier to a funeral home. There it will rest until to morrow morning at 11 o'clock, when a cortege will move out of Oklahoma City to Maysville, the tiny town In Garvin county that Post called home. At 10 a.m. Thursday the body will bo placed in the rotunda at the state capitol, there to lie in state for two hours, and at noon, Oklahoma time, the same hour that services are being held in Los Angeles for Will Rogers. Ok lahoma will pay its official tribute. Both Rogers and Post will be given the state's homage in the official ceremony before the cap itol. The memorial service will be brief, probably an invocation by a national guard chaplain and a brief address by Governor E. W. Marland. A guard of honor composed of national guardsmen will escort the casket Thursday. Way Resigns as Schramm's Aide For Private Job Edmund T.

HA FID FOR HEALTH IS SOUGHT (Continued from Page 1) for transportation in 1935, esti mating the health officer, dairy inspector and city health nurse travel 18,000 miles a year on city business. Dr. Douglas set mileage costs at four cents a mile. Clerical Service Shortage Hampers Shortage of clerical service has hindered the health department during the last few years in keep ing its vital records and at the same time handling other office work. For this reason $600 was asked for an additional office clerk in 1936, as well as $390 more for the salaries of the three staff members who are paid all or in part by the city. The health department for 1935 is receiving $21,253.93 from lo cal sources in contrast with $30, 610 in 1930. Further contribu tions of 3,11.300 from the Com monwealth fund and $375 from the state board of dental exam iners were paid the department in 1930, making its total budget in that year $42,285. Budget Spread Out Among Districts For the present year the health department is receiving $5600 from the Salem school district, $6331 from the county, $1280 from the Silverton school district, $850 from the Marion county pub lic health association. $450 from the Mill City school district. $225 from the Gates school district and $160 from the city of Silverton. An additional $1557.93 in the form of warrants carried over from 193 4 is carried as 193 5 in come. The health board is anxious to make ample provision in 1936 for matching federal funds which will be available under the social security act of congress. The local health unit, considered the most advanced in the northwest, has a good chance of being delegated to train public health workers for this area under this act. Dr. W. Frank Walker of the Common wealth fund, stated while here last month. ES PROTEST TARGETS Hearing involving the protest of the Oregon-Washington Water Service company, against a reduc tion of hydrant charges in the city of Hillsboro from $3.50 to 87 cents a month, was held in the state utilities department Tues day. An ordinance reducing the hy drant charges was adopted re cently by the Hillsboro council under the home rule amendment. The water company alleged that the reduction was unreasonable and that the rate of $3.50 a month previously was upheld in an opin ion of the state supreme court. In case the utility commission er rules against the city of Hills boro the ordinance may be refer red to the voters. A favorable vote of the citizens of Hillsboro would mean that the reduced rate would prevail. Another hearing held Tuesday MAHoreOwdTlaater Pv Matinee Each Day 2 P.M.

The utility commissioner alleg ed that this salary was unreason able when compared with the com pensation received by officials of similar utility concerns operating in this state. Utility department officials aid they were concerned only with salaries paid out of op erating costs. SAFETY CLASS LAW URGED FOR OREGON Designed to eliminate one of the most serious causes of injury in an automobile smashup-sphnter-ed, razor-edged glass the Oregon state legislature at a proposed ses sion in September may consider a measure which would require all new automobiles to be equip ped with safe, shatter-proof wind shields and windows. This hag been indicated by the Oregon State Motor association. which has led in safety education and legislative work in Oregon. The safety glass law has been adopted in 21 states. The meas ure was recently enacted in Cal ifornia. Laws Mostly Uniform Virtually all of the new laws follow a uniform pattern, it was pointed out, in that they require safety glass of a type approved by the state motor vehicle authority as a prerequisite to registration of new vehicles manufactured or sold in the state after a certain speci fied date, or on school buses and common carrier passenger vehi cles operating after a certain date. According to accident investiga tors, nearly 75 per cent of the most serious injuries that result from automobile accidents are caused by broken glass. In many cases, the motor association ex plained, names could be kept off the injured list if safety glass were used in all automobiles. As shatter-proof glass has be come available, its use in the man ufacture of automobiles has stead ily Increased. Now it is standard equipment in windshields at least, on nearly 75 per cent of all new automobiles. Ballot Title oi Motor Fuel Bill Is Drafted Here Ballot title for the proposed ini tiative measure to prohibit agree ments, combinations or interfer ence with free and unrestricted competition in the manufacture, transportation and sale of motor fuel, was completed by Attorney General Van Winkle Tuesday. The measure is intended to re strict the operations of large mo tor fuels oil companies and pre vent price fixing. The original pe tition was filed by Saul Friedman, Portland, treasurer of the inde pendent gasoline retailers. It was signed by K. L. Gustin and 23 other persons. Completed petitions must con tain the signatures of 16,371 vot ers and be filed in the state de partment not later than July 1, 1936. RUPTURED RUPTURE SAFEGUARD M,xrKtm. ....

The board was expected to con vene some time this week, pos sibly tonight, to consider bond election plans, which had been delayed pending preparation of legal opinions as to how the bond proposals should be worded. A $960,000 building fund was contemplated. Of this amount, S3 60,000 would be a grant from the PWA.

The inheritance taxes were sug gested by the president with the assertion that "inherited economic power is as inconsistent with the ideals of this generation" as hav ing kings. But the congressional confer ees, attempting to harmonize the difrerences between the bills pass ed by the house and senate, agreed there should be no inheritance taxes. Except for the Nye threat, the general adjurnment machinery functioned smoothly. The senate passed the "must" railroad re organization bill, debated the Guf fey bill and was ready to proceed with other legislation.

He allowed two hits in the seventh and was replaced by Allard who also gave two. Fielders Unemployed For Most of Game Having only eight chances in nine innings, the M & M fielders had an easy time in turning In a perfect performance for the first errorless fielding of the tourney. The M & M bats spoke to the tune of 11 hits off Louden, To ledo's snappily dressed pitcher. Two hits, a walk and an error started it off in the second when three runs crossed the platter. The hard-trying Toledo outfit held the flood in check for two innings but the dam burst in the fifth and M & M splurges in the next three frames brought the count to 10 to 0. Morrie Helser, M & M third sacker, set himself up as a rival to his brother Hank of Rotarv Bread in the quest for tourney batting honors, with three hits in four times at bat. Schlafle got a triple and Drake and Ash each turned in doubles. M & M 10 11 0 Toledo 0 4 4 Berlant, Allard and Gette: Louden and Post. Hooker Lee, Conrallis Chinaboy pitcher, and Sel LaTsen, lanky Lebanon huTler, put on a mound duel of real calibre. Larsen won in strikeouts but the slant-eyed boy had him one better in hits and Corvallia had the real counter in the winning run that gave it a 3 to 2 victory. There were only seven hits in the entire contest. Three were off Lee's delivery, four off Larsen's. Larsen struck out ten batters, Lee only six. Poor Base Running Helps Decide Fray The game was the tightest seen in this year's tournament and about as tight as any game can be in Softball. Only a bit of un- heady base running on Lebanon's part kept it from going into extra innings. The hustling Corvallis infield backed up Lee in fine fashion and cut off what would have gone for hits with many clubs. None of the runs scored was earned off the two battling pitch ers. Lebanon brought in the ba con first in the second inning when Campbell singled, went to second on a passed ball and on to third when Van Valin threw wide in trying to stop him at sec ond. He scored on Clark's single. Corvallis did all its heavy work in one big inning, the third. Two Lebanon erors of the variety known as costly aided the Cor vallis nine in bringing in its three tallies. Lee, fast as a scared jack rabbit, beat out an infield hit to get on and went to second when overanxious Campbell, Lebanon second sacker, threw wide of first. Van Valin hit scratchily to put him on third. Pratt hit into the infield but speedy Yung Lee was gTeased lightning on the basepaths and beat the throw to home by a split 'second.

ISSUE EYED Claims of the Oregon-Washington Water Service company for delinquent water rentals due from relief' families before the city bought the water system will be discussed at a conference of city, company and relief officials in the near future. Tha claims put for ward at present amount to approx imately $60. The company avers that water requisitions were properly appli able to back bills, rather than to the periods they stipulated, and that later delinquent bills should be paid by the city. Officials of the city, however, contend they can not pay water bills for periods other than those specified in the requisitions made out at relief headquarters. A preliminary conference on the matter was held at the city hall yesterday afternoon by Acting Mayor David O'Hara, City Attor ney Chris J. Kowitz, City Record er A. Warren Jones and Walter E.
