Losses Heavy
On Both Sides
Old -Style Infantry Wins
Over Machine Guns,
Armored Tanks
ADDIS ABABA, NOT. 12.-flP-A
bloody Ethiopian victory on
the southern front, won at a
heavy cost of lives to both sides,
was officially claimed today by
the government.
It . was a fight of age-old In
fantry against modern tank and
machine gun units of the fascist
invaders, a communique said, and
the former won.
Despite a withering Italian
fire, the announcement asserted,
4 the tribesmen of Emperor Halle
Selassie captured four Italian
tanks in desperate fight at An
i ele. Ogaden province.
The battlefield was strewn
with dead of both armies, the an
nouncement said.
Claim Other Gains
Ethiopia also claimed success
in another clash in the same re
gion. The government said its
warriors killed six Italian offi
cers and many soldiers,, with thel
remainder fleeing in panic, and
captured six trucks.
The same communique report-
d a victory on the northern
front.
Commander Gabre Heyot, the
communique continued, attacked
a vastly superior Italian unit,
killing the t commander and ' a
large number of soldiers and dis
' persing the enemy in disorder.

cents an hour in competing Can
adian mills as one of the prin
cipal reasos any reduction of
tariff would prove destructive.
At present, he said, wages In
those two states are about 20
per cent above the minimum set
by the old lumber code under
NRA. The industry cannot main
tain such wages and compete
with the products of cheap labor
from the Dominion mills without
"a reasonable protective tariff,"
he said.
Many Barely Able,
To Operate Now
"Even now with the total of $4
per 1000 feet duties, there are
numerous operators who barely
ar.e able to operate," Compton
said. "Cut that protection in
half and the government has tak
en away the slight margin of
profit on which those men were
able to keep going."
The association manager said
that despite the duty, lumber
shipments from Canada had in
creased from 13.000,000 feet in
the first six months of the year
to 46,000,000 in the third quar
ter alone. Imports from Canada
last year totaled only 4,00,000
feet. - "
The present tariff rate is .es
sential if the government expects
operators to cooperate in a pro
gram of conservation, such as
cropping their timber on a sus
tained yield basis. Compton said.
Without that protection the mar
gin of profit is so small that op
erators will be forced to cut pro
duction costs to the bone and
some of them will not be able to
continue, he said.

In seeking that Hall be tried

ed the CCC today with having
been a prime factor In setting an
all-time record for low fire loss in
national forests of Oregon and
Washington.
Buck said only 38.000 acres had
been burned in national forests
within the past three years. The
loss in 1933 was 7200 acres, in
1934 it was 25,000 (due primar
ily to the Colville forest fire in
northern Washington), and this
year 6000.

Saturday, it was clearly indicated
at the statehouse that he would
not. refuse to sign the bill or at
least to let it become law without
his signature.
Will Ieave Future
Issues tor Commission
The governor has taken the po
sition that ha did his best to se
cure the full $3,500,000 project
for the state along; with adequate
ground. Now that .the legislature
has spoken, the responsibility! for
the capltol Is considered out of bis
hands. Since the commission, ra
ttier than the state ooara or con
trol, must decide on the type of
building or buildings erected, all
problems connected with the
building will be handled by that
body. j ;
As soon as the commission is
appointed and organised, an ar
chitectural contest is expected be
cause PWA, if it grants 45 per
cent for the smaller capitol pro
ject, is insistent that construction
work be begun -at a very early
date.
Governor Martin had numerous
conferences yesterday over pend
ing legislation, as yet unsigned.
but did not meet with the state
board of control.
Bills. Viewed as
To Constitutionality
. Bills passed at the special ses
sion are- being checked by Ralph
E. Moody, assistant attorney gen
eral, as to their constitutionality.
Governor Martin Indicated that
he would defer action on the bills
until today. Under the law, j all
bills must be signed, vetoed or
filed with the secretary of state to
become laws without the execu
tive signature by Friday night.;
Particular interest here centered
on the capitol construction : bill,
the unemployment insurance mea
sure, and the agricultural market
ing agreement bill. ; !
The fate of the agricultural
marketing agreement bill pro
bably will depend wholly upon its
constitutionality. This is now be
ing studied by Moody, in coopera
tion with other attorneys.
A number of legislators who op
posed this measure alleged that it
was unconstitutional and would
not be upheld by, the courts. f
The new measure was designed
to correct and clarify the original
agricultural adjustment act which
recently was declared unconstitu
tional by the state supreme court.
Gives No Indication !
On Secretary Job j
Governor Martin refused to j in
dicate who be has in mind foftnT1
-office of executive secretary. I '
An act passed at the special ses
sion abolished the office of state
budget director and authorized the
governor to appoint an executive
secretary. This bill was sponsored
by Governor Martin and received
the indorsement of D. O. Hood, re
tiring state budget director.
The new j executive secretary
will prepare; the budget in addi
tion to serving as assistant to
Governor Martin. His duties will
in no way Interfere with those of
William Gosslin, private secretary
to the governor.

Credit Man Tallq
At Active Session
James Clark spoke before the
Salem : Active club at its regular
meeting Tuesday night. He rep
resented the Salem Retail Credit
association. , j
"The retail credit association
has on file the records -of approxi
mately 80,000 people in the Sa
lem buying community," Clark
said. '
"It is to the benefit of both
the public Ul" merchants to
realize the desirability of main
taining a good credit standing
and - to keep a record of that
standing in order that other mer
chants may b,e protected." j
Clark said that the growth of
retail credit associations had been
rapid and that they were now
serving about 1500 communities.
Salem with 75 members in the lev
cal association has the highest per
capita standing in the United
States, he declared.
