Mt. Angel Well Ahead in
Flax Plant Program;
Cash is Need Now f
; By SHELDON F- SACKETT
Down from Portland this week
Will coma Elmer Goudy. state re
lief administrator, bringing with
him a detailed plan for a pro
posed county-state-federal old-age
pension project in Oregon for the
remaining months of 1936. This
plan will be submitted by Goudy
to Governor Martin. If the latter
approves it, back to the social se
curity board at Washington ' the
plan will go, tor the approval or
rejection of that body. Until such
a concrete proposal for pensions
is submitted to Washington, ; the
status of payments in this state
for 1936. cannot be determined.
Accompanying the state's! re
quest for old-age pension funds
will go an attorney-general's opin
ion 'on the 1935 old-age pension
law passed by the regular session
of the legislature. If the attorney
general rules as he is expected
to do that the enactment of the
special session, Senate Bill 43, is
tied up by the referendum peti
tions tiled 10 days ago, Oregon
is to proceed immediately to try
for federal funds under the 1935
regular session act.
Three-Way Pensions
Will Be Higher
If Washington approves Gou
dy's request for funds, to be dis
bursed through the state relief
organization in each of 36 coun
ties in Oregon, average pensions
of $11 a person a month for Ore
gon's needy aged are a thing of
the past. Instead of the counties
being the sole source of pension
moneys, the state -will have; its
$1,000,000 appropriation to nfatch
the county outlays while the fed
eral government will match the
aggregate contributions of Ufee
counties and 'the-'state.v-Tnat
means much higher pensions;
tot the maximum of $30 a month
for all "pensioners, probably a 50
to 100 per cent increase in the
present rate of pay. The exact
amount to be paid will not be
known until Mr. Goudy presents
his specific plan of pension dis
bursement. If Washington turns down Ore
gon's request and it is quite
possible it will do so none of
the pensioners now receiving
enhnt heln in Oreeon can look
for any advance in their checks
until another legislative session
has passed amendments to the
existing pension law. Governor
Martin is going to do his best to
get federal pension moneys this
year but he fears Comptroller
General McCarl will shake ' his
head over at least one defect in
the Oregon pension act the pro
vision that all real or personal
property turned over to the state
by applicants for pensions, or se
cured by the state after their
death -remain the property of
the state. The federal act makes
Uncle Sam joint owner of such
property with the state. The fed
eral government has put up half
the money, the reasoning goes,
and is therefore entitled to one
half the property received by the
pension board. This provision was
cured in the amended pension act
of 1935 the act now tied up
with a referendum. If Washing
ton Is a stickler on this point,
federal pension funds will be only

The state administration is ex

Will Vacate Part
Of Willson Park
Steps To Be Initiated at
Council's Session on
Monday, Expected
Steps will be initiated probably
ai the Monday night meeting of
tbe city council to vacate the east
portion of Willson park so it will
be available to the state capitol
reconstruction commission for use
in the development of the capitol.
The portion will include a half
a block from the present line of
the state grounds to a point about
175 feet west which is on the di
rect line with the center of the
alley between the Patton and Kay
properties on the north.
Dr. H. H. Ol'nger, member of
the capitol commission, says that
this amount is adequate for the
needs of the commission; and the
remainder will he left as a park
under the city control. By trans
ferring only the east portion of
the park the state will escape ine
principal cost of maintenance. Re
maining In the city portion of the
park will be the Waite fountain
and the bandstand.
Tbe procedure required is vaca
tion of the portion of Willson av
enue and then deeding the area to
the state. A favorable response
has been received from some of
the Willson heirs to the propo3-l
that they join in deeding the por
tion to the state. The matter will
be presented to all the heirs.
Curtailment of
On Relief,
Further reductions in the cost
of administering state relief in
Oregon were recommended yester
day to Governor Martin by Wal
lace S. Wharton, newly named
executive secretary.
Wharton reported that the ad
ministrative payroll for SERA had
been trimmed 40 per cent since
WPA began its operations In No
vember and the state took over
the load of direct relief for indi
gents. He said further reductions
could be made as the eounties as
sumed more and more of the
work, leaving the state -with the
"job of supervising, auditing and
disbursing all funds, theretofore
under the direct control of the
SERA offices."
Statement Pleases
Commissioner Hewlett
.- The statement of Wharton was
immediately praised by LeRoy
Hewlett, Marion county commis
sioner, who last month criticized
the administrative cost of relief
work in this county.

At the present rate of new can

of the county judge's post and

Four years ago the democrats

If enough volunteers do not

and the latter's second indictment

The commissioner expressed

in Final Dehate
Constitutionality Issue is
Fought Out; Subsidy
Provision Made
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15HP)
Plowing under bi-partisan opposi
tion by an almost three to one
margin, administration forces to
day won senate passage of the
$500,000,000 soil conservation
subsidy brand of crop control.
The bill now goes to the house.
The senate vote, climaxing eleven
days of debate during which the
measure's constitutionality was
challenged and defended, was 56
to 20.
Forty-nine democrats, five re
publicans, the farmer-laborite,
Benson, and the progressive, La
follette, voted for the bill. Ni e
democrats and 11 republicans op
posed it.
McNary Moves to
Refer to Committee
Just before the last roll call, a
motion by Senator McNary, the
republican leader, to send the bill
back to committee with instruc
tions to report out a new proposal
In three weeks, was rejected 54 to
21.
McNary contended the bill was
"unworkable and unconstitution
al." He predicted after the sen
ate quit for the day that some
state would challenge it In the
courts.
Supporters argued it was con
stitutional under the supreme
court's interpretation of congress's
appropriating authority In its de
cision killing tbe AAA which the
soil bill is intended to replace.
Half BOllon For
Farmers Provided
The bill, introduced by Senator
Smith (D-SC) as a substitut for
a somewhat similar measure by
Senator Bankhead (D-Ala) would
authorize expenditures of half a
billion dollars in federal subsidies
to farmers based on their acreage
of crop land, soil-improving and
erosion-preventing crops, changes
In farming practices, and a per
centage of normal production en
tering domestic channels.
After two years, permanent
state-aid plans with the same ob
jective would become operative in
any state whose legislature ap
proved a formula prepared by the
secretary of agriculture.

WASHINGTON, Feb. U.-yP)-President
Roosevelt tonight un
covered a proposal for an extra
ordinary inter-American confer
ence, encompassing the 20 Central
and South American governments
and aimed "at permanent peace
on this western continent."
In almost identical personal let
ters to the presidents of the var
ious republics, the chief executive
suggested that the parley be held
at Buenos Aires, Argentina, at an
early date. The cause of peace in
the new world, he said, is a matter
of "vital concern."
"These steps, furthermore," he
said, "would advance thecause of
world peace, inasmuch as the
agreements which might be reach
ed would supplement and rein
force: the efforts of the League of
Nations and of all other existing
or future peace agencies in seek
ing to prevent war."

Pleas for "pretty quick" aid
from a dozen towns hurried ski

The ships could carry only light
supplies, however, and snowplows,

Dynamite blasts shot snow and
ice high in the air after winter's
barriers repulsed the plows.
Four South Dakota communi

. of Entering Favorite
Son in Primaries
Democrats Seek to Stop
Disaffection Seen in
Al Smith 'Attacks
By EDWARD J. DUFFY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-VP)-After
months of drifting, maneu
vers in both major parties have
at last entered channels that may
influence the presidential cam
paign itself.
The situation in Ohio, where
some members of the republican
organization have been waveriag
over how to thwart Senator Bor
ah of Idaho, was the center of
interest tonight.
Borah himself implied tonight
that no question of a walkout on
the party was in mind, as T ex
pect to be the nominee of the
party myself." His statement was
in connection with a letter frua
the Illinois republican state
mittee asking that he pledge Mr
loyalty to the party.
Carl G. Bachmann, from Be
ah - for - president headquarters
here, announced that organiser
from throughout the state wvatt
meet at Akron tomorrow with
Representative Fish of New Yerk
and ex-Representative Johnson x
South Dakota. They propose, fee
said, to put the campaign "int
high gear and to secure the av
tire delegation of 52 for Borah,"
Backing "Favorite
Son" is Considered
The regular leaders in the state
meet later in the week. An at
tempt will be jnade to. deelde
whether to back a "favorite son"
candidate or support a contender
from without the state.
Day to day developments this
week added up to these major
facts and questions:
The new deal, by entry of Pres
ident . Roosevelt into the Illinois
and other primaries, plans extra
ordinary precautions to further a
harmonious convention at Phila
delphia. No opposition candidacy
has been declared.
Looking primarily to Alfred E.
Smith and Governor Talmadge of
Georgia for leadership, disaffect
ed democrats completed militant
attempts against party endorse
ment of the administration.
Borah and Knox
Certain to Contest
Hopes in the republican com
mand to avoid pre-conventios dis
sension have waned. Borah and
Col. Frank Knox decided te con
test in the Illinois primaries. Knox
headquarters in Chicago obtained
the papers required to file- in
Ohio.
Similar rivalry In other Impor
tant states, possibly with Gover
nor Landon of Kansas a flgtrre,
appears likely.
Alone among the potential GOP
nominees in speaking against the
old guard, Borah's aggressiveMsa
increases.
Both Smith and Borah- confine
themselves at present to working
within their parties. Both never
theless dwell on principles, sot
partisanship. Both realixw the
odds they are up against.
Will Smith, if his immediate
aims fail, support the republican
ticket?
Will Borah, if the Cleveland
convention rejects his wishes, tap
port the Roosevelt-Garner ticket?
Many capital discussions- dvrtog
the week ended up in those two
questions being asked. Nothing in
the outpourings of Lincoln day or
atory pointed to an answer.

the last navalr fund.
Combined with $ 545,22 C31I in
the war department appropria

the house yesterday, the new leg
islation would boost army and

year beginning next July 1.'
Of the army's total, however,
$118,359,985 was ear-marked tee

and othe'r non-military activities.
Cary said the navy bill, as It
now stands, would provide 12,
000,000 for 333 new airplane
and $13,980,369 for laying dewn
12 destroyers and six submarines
The total new appropriation tor
ship construction would be $182,-
