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.

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.

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.

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.

Walter B. Minier stated last
night. He was dubious of success,
however, because C. C. Hockley,

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

Hooker Lee, Conrallis Chinaboy

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. Keitb

to end the rally.
