McNARY Bonds Guarantee Costly to Oregon Irrigation, Drainage Help Results in 4 Millions Loss Says IMartin The state of Oregon, through Its action 18 years ago guaran teeing interest payments on ir rigation , and drainage district bonds has lost approximately $4,000,000, Governor Martin de clared at a meeting of the state reclamation commission Monday. Secretary of State Snell said this loss was only a trifle when compared with that of the bond holders. : I i i "This was an expensive joy ride for the state," Governor Mar tin declared. '.'"! State Treasurer Holman said most of the irrigation and drain age districts which have been re financed had paid their bond holders less than 30 cents on the dollar. Records showed that 39 of these districts defaulted. "This experience on the part of the state might prove valuable to some half-baked groups who are now trying to put over wild financial . schemes," Governor Martin continued. j New Request ; Made Governor Martin's remarks were inspired by a request of Charles E. Stricklin,' secretary of the state reclamation commission, that the state waive certain obli gations, including interest, aggre gating $46,000. in refinancing the Crook county municipal im provement district. ! Stricklin 5aid the refinancing program! was outlined by the re construction finance corporation and waiving of interest was a condition to the transaction. He predicted that the district would prosper under the refinancing program. f Bondholders of this district, un der the refinancing proposal, will receive , approximately 16 cent3 on the dollar. ! ; Zero Hour looms In Madrid Attack (Continued from Page 1) into speedy surrender, fascist aviators today again bombed the suburbs of the capital. Several small ; bombs were dropped on Barajas airport caus ing light damage. ! Crews of government anti-aircraft batteries blasted away at the diving plaues bt did not bring any down. j The wearied defenders of Ma drid tonight fervently pleaded with their fighting forces to mass into a "human avalanche" against the invaders menacing the city. Urgently they demanded swift counter attacks on the fascist ad vance units to prevent fratricidal blood, from spilling into the gut ters of sonny Madrid. The capital was emptied of all able - bodied men and youths as the government defenders sought to force a battle on the outskirts of the 'city rather than wait un til. the attackers should gain the city's gates. j A communique issued by the fascist provisional government at Burgos exultantly declared rail communication from Madrid was severed at El Escorial, northwest of the capital, and at Aranjuez, to the southwest. 1 4, (Aranjuez, various reported captured and recaptured on sev eral occasions by the opposing high commands, is a strategic rail center giving the capital vital ac cess to eastern coastal cities such as Barcelona and Valencia.) The insurgents said they took the area forming a! junction be tween the Aranjues highway and the Levante railroad below Se sena and thus held an Important bridge over which fascist troops mast cross if they are to attack Madrid from the south.

Normal Buildings Dedicated Monday (Continued from Page 1) Oregon normal was built on a sol id foundation of Christian educa tion which he held necessary In adequate teacher training. The administration building was constructed at a cost of $93,- 000 and the gymnasium $62,000. Budget adjustments to provide for Increased enrollment were au thorized. An Increase of $20,888 was ap proved to make way for the addi tion of 17 full-time instructors and graduate assistants. A report submitted by Chan cellor Frederick M. Hunter said the number of students at the five institutions was 8103, an all-time peak. Bndget Adjustment ! Matches Fee Increase He said Oregon State college bad a gain of 20.5 per cent and the University of Oregon 5.8 per cent. Decreases were recorded at the normal schools at La Grande, Monmouth and Ashland. This, the Chancellor stated, was due to a trend away from teaching as a profession. He said the movement was indicative of returning pros perity which opened new employ ment and permitted students to attend larger institutions. The board sanctioned the estab lishment of a division of experi mental medicine at the University medical school at Portland. Although increases were made la the budget, the board said the emergency funds would not be touched. The adjustment was held to a corresponding rise in student body fees. fl n A rteOnsd Ttea- P LyJi.l.Yt700!J Matinee Each Day, 2 P.
