Issued from an office under the

accountant. The only accounts ap

should show and cite authority

atvlits were cited by the grand
Jury and the provision that a
'competent" accountant be em
ployed was underscored. The
county of fices audit, said tr- jury,
contained mistakes that "destroy
any possibility of accuracy In the

Gill Misquoted
Upon Truck Bill
Said Martin Attacked, Not
That He Vetoed Measure
Grange Chief Avers
THE DALLES. June -(JP)-B.T
W. Gill, master of the Oregon
Grange, In his fifth report to the
65th session, here yesterday, did
not say that Gov. Martin had ve
toed a truck bill before the 1937.
legislature. .
A statement to that effect was
erroneously carried in an Associ
ated Press story of his address.
Gill, in a discussion of the sub
ject of transportation, said that
the Grange sponsored a bill before
the 1937 legislature to eliminate
many of the restrictive features
of truck legislation. Commenting
upon It. the state master said:
"It gave truck operators the
right to file their rate schedules
and haul freely the specified ar
ticles at the rates listed. It remov
ed complications and restrictions
now the order under our present
regulations. This bill would hare
restored to many small truck op
erators the chance to operate their
trucks, many of which primarily
affect agricultural hauling.
Attack, not Veto
"This bill was singled out for
attack by Governor Martin when
he appeared before the joint ses
sion of the legislature. It was very
apparent that all of the utilities
united In a protective attack
against any bill that affected any
of their group. With the governor
committed in advance in opposi
tion to reasonable and fair truck
legislation for the farmers . and
with the large number of reac
tionary senators, it was hopeless
to secure passage of this bill."
Gov. Martin, in answer to the
original story carried by the Asso
ciated Press, correctly stated that
he "vetoed no truck bills at the
1937 session" and the statement
he read in the Associated Press
story was an incorrect quotation
of the grange master.

Recreation Topic
Of Gaiser's Talk
The "creation phase of recre
ation Was stressed- at the conven
tion of the national recreation as
sociation in Atlantic City, N. J.,
Silas Gaiser, Salem school superin
tendent, declared In a talk at the
Kiwanis club luncheon Tuesday.
When men worked: with tools,
the tool became part of the man;
now the man becomes part of the
machine with which he works, and
an outlet for his creative faculties
Is necessary, Gaiser said. Thus
more attention Is being paid to
the fine arts in connection with
recreation, and .the future .trend
in recreation appears to be toward
service as a practical expression
of the human need for creative
enjoyment.
Gaiser graphically described
Atlantic City, dependent upon va
cationers for its livelihood, with
its 1000 hotels, its 8 H -mile board
walk, its wheel chairs pushed by
negroes and the chairs along the
beach, rented at 25 cents an hour.
The speaker mentioned nota
bles who spoke Including Aubrey
Williams, a high new deal execu
tive, and Governor Harold Hoff
man of New Jersey; whom he de
scribed as a man of remarkable
mentality and personal charm de
spite some doubts which have aris
en as to his motives. .
Oklahoima Grains
Damaged by Hail
OKLAHOMA CITY. June 8.-(;P)-Hail
and cloudbursts spread
additional ruin today over some
of Oklahoma's ripening wheat
fields.
Large hail pounded 80 square
miles of crops into the mud dur
ing a driving rainstorm In Grant
county in northern Oklahoma.
Grant county, the state's lead
ing wheat producing county, saw
its most promising crop in years
in the south central portion of the
county flattened.
Allen Williams, assistant coun
ty agent, said most of the wheat
in the path of the storm was a
total loss. The storm cut a path
ranging from one and one-half
miles to four miles in width and
more than 25 miles long.
So ripe was the wheat, said
Williams, that the driving hail
shattered the heads and spread
the wheat over the ground. He
made no estimate of the total
damage except to say it would
reach thousands of dollars. '
Rain over the area ranged from
an Inch to two inches.

Moody Confident
Of Capitol Grant
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 8.-(P-Passage
of . pending legisla
tion wouia enaDie uregon to util
ize all of a $450,000 federal grant
for land acquisition and construc
tion of a library and highway of
fice building at Salem, Ralph E
Moody, assistant state attorney
general, said today.
The sum' is the remainder of an
original appropriation of $1,575,
000 for construction of a $3,500,
000 capitol at Salem. The cost of
the project was reduced to $2,
500,000 by the legislature, how
ever, which automatically cut the
grant to $1,125,000. -
The state now asks the remain
der, and the public works admin
istration has made it available,
providing the money is. spent for
relief labor. Moody said this stip
ulation, would limit use of the
funds and reduce the amount act
ually available.
' He said a bill now before con
gress extending, the life of the
PWA' two years and restoring
grants to the old 45 per cent bas
is would release the Oregon
grant from any present restric
tions. -
