It's spring vacation at "Wil
lamette and Salem high school.
We learned that yesterday when
b r a h 1 y
walked into the
halls of WlHam-f
ette and at-;
tempted to yank:
open the door of
Dr. Baxter's of
fice only to find
it sealed solidly
as a tomb.
It struck us a
little more when
we walked into
several down- Paul H Baoaet. it
town spots ut of the down
pour and found a sprinkling of
Willamette and high school stu
dents and a few high school ath
letic coaches standing around
glumly looking out at the rain.
There was some hint of dissatis
faction with the world In gen
eral in their attitude.
The other schools in the state
all had their spring vacations
last week and the heavens, smil
ing on the majority, stayed clear
and bright most of the week. No
such luck for Salem. Too wet
for golf and the water in the
streets isn't running high enough
for swimming.
"That's the kind of a vara-
tion we get," we overhead one
solemn student saying, "one
that ends on April Fool's day."
They are doing qnite a bit
of checking of names in the
county clerk's office, our court
house agent informs us, what
with elections and all. The
other day, It seems, one of the
clerk's clerks went thumbing;
through city directories, tele
phone books and other refer
ence works. She was appar
ently having difficulties and
finally with exasperation 6he
looked up and said, "I give up.
I can't find this John Doe per
son listed anywhere."
CHUMP'S GARDEN OP VERSES
When spring's pangs begin to
poke us
And the rains come on and soak
us
Mother Nature's hocus-pocus
First of all brings up the crocus.
A scout tells us that the tele
phone operator at the county
welfare commission is getting a
conditioned reflex. Every morn
ing exactly at 9:30 she reaches
for the telephone and every morn
ing exactly at i:30 the same
voice asks why he hasn't got, his
old age assistance : check yet. ,
Seems the' ' applicant applied
some time ago, but the welfare
commission, by state orders, has
not been permitted to approve
new applications so far this year.
That's all explained every
morning at 9:30, but it all has
to be gone through again the
next morning at 9:30.
MARITIME NOTE
Stripped of her luxurious fit
tings, the Wheatland Ferry has
departed on a mystery voyage.
Her goal, informed sources be
lieve, is Champoeg, which she
will reach by a devious route
through the Sargasso Sea via the
Eola bar. Belief that she is pre
pared for a long Toyage is based
on the fact that before departure
the commander took aboard du
plicate sets of Chinese checkers
for every crew member.
The chamber of commerce,
which rejected Dick Neuberg
er's topic, "Why I Am a
Liberal,", apparently isn't Inter
ested in a liberal education.
Offshore Torpedo
Boat Given Tsts
NEW ORLEANS, March 2.-(iP)-Tn
PT-6, Uncle Sam's new
est type torpedo boat for offshore
defense work, thundered along at
4 6 miles an hour today in its first
speed test, and then was prepared
for gruelling trials at sea.
Naval experts who watched the
heavily-powered 81-foot craft
slash across Lake Pontchartrain
termed its performance "satisfac
tory" and hinted the boat might
be superior to anything used by
foreign powers.
It was explained the new mo
tors were not broken in and no
attempt was made to reach theo
retical maximum speed of CO
miles. The PT-6 will get more ex
haustive tests In three days on the
open Gulf of Mexico.

BALTIMORE, March 26.-G35)-Lester
Barlow's liquid oxygen-carbon
explosive, so powerful an
eight-ounce charge sent a 40-foot
telephone pole flying skyward
withstood a public trial of shock
and fire today and the inventor
announced tonight he was ready
for government tests.
He said he would send his pro
posal for official trials to the sen

morrow and predicted the first
would be held within three weeks.
They were ordered after a meet
ing last week of congressional war
and naval committees.
Before aearly 75 reporters and
photographers, Barlow conducted
a series of tests to prove the sta
bility of this explosive he claims Is

Known to be a potential legis

last month, Carson declared in his

Court Says Labor
Chief Must Serve
Conviction on Perjury
Charge of Reynolds
Is Upheld
The state supreme court yes
terday upheld the conviction of
Hugh Reynolds, ex-secretary of
the Eugene AFL teamsters union
on a charge of perjury. Reynolds
is under three years' penitentiary
sentence.
Reynolds was convicted of giv
ing false testimony at his trial1
on a charge of breaking windows
in a non-union barber shop at Eu
gene. He was sentenced to a year
in the Lane county jail on the
window-breaking charge but the
supreme court later reversed this
conviction and directed a new
trial.
The opinion was written by Jus
tice George Rossman who upheld
Circuit Judge Carl E. Wimberly
of Rosebnrg. Justice Rossman
said there was no cause for a re
versal of the perjury conviction.
"It is our opinion," Justice Ross
man wrote, "that the defendant's
acquittal in the first case was no
bar to his prosecution on the per
jury indictment."

military use.
He sent a telephone pole 50 feet
into the air with the eight-ounce
charge and the pole split asunder,

Renounces Honor

BENNETT CHAMP CLARK
Champ Clark not
Active Candidate
Receptive to Presidential
Choice, Doesn't Want
Delegation Bound
WASHINGTON, March 26-P)
Senator Clark (D-Mo), who has
been looked upon as a potential
dark horse presidential candidate,
said tonight that he did not de
sire the "empty honor" of a favor
ite son designation.
Announcing he would be a can-
didate-at-large to the national
convention and chairman of the
Missouri group, Clark pledged
himself to see that his state's vote
was not "traded off" for the vice
presidential nomination or the
promise of a cabinet portfolio or
any other office. He said he would
not have the vice presidency or a
cabinet job "as a gift."
The senator did not close the
door entirely to his consideration
as a presidential nominee, but he
wrote George K. Williams, a vet
eran party worker at Farmington,
Mo., that he had neither the or
ganization nor financial backing
to make a national campaign be
fore the convention.
Although Clark did not men
tion the third-term issue, two oth
er senators said they thought the
time had come for the president
to make known his Intentions.
Senator Overton (D-La), who
has supported new deal legisla
tion, said he was afraid that if the
president runs again "he may
bring disaster to himself and his
party."
Senator Smith (D-SC), who
previously had called on the pres
ident to announce his plans, said
he had become convinced that Mr.
Roosevelt would not run again.
US Can't Control
Fisheries, Verdict
ASTORIA, Ore., March 26-UP-
Charles E. Jackson, acting com
missioner, US bureau of fisheries,
advised the Columbia River Fish
ermen's Protective union today
that transfer of jurisdiction of
Columbia river fishing to the fed
eral bureau would be unconstitu
tional.
Jackson wrote that "congress
has no power over fisheries with
in territorial waters" and that
any attempt by congress to divert
states of authority over fisheries
in the Columbia river would be
"clearly unconstitutional."
The union favored the transfer.
Jackson warned that the gov
ernment's $500,000 development
Program "win necessarily fail in
attaining its real objective unless
the commercial fishery Is regulat
ed to permit sufficient number
of adult salmon to escape cap
ture and reach spawning
grounds."

Opposition Leader Goes
Down Along With His
Principal Aides
OTTAWA, March 27.-(Wed-
nesday )-?) Canada s liberal par
ty government approached a rec
ord majority in the house of com
mons today as returns from yes
terday's national election piled up
an overwhelming vote of confi
dence in its war policies.
Latest returns showed liberal
candidates as the winners of 166
of the 245 seats In the house, with
six Independent winners also num
bered among supporters of Prin
Minister W. L. Mackenzie King s
government.
The national government group,
headed by the conservative Dr.
Robert J. Manion, had won only
34 seats. There was a handful of
successful candidates from lesser
parties.
A score of places remained In
doubt, but liberals were ahead in
a number of them, with a strong
chance to better the majority of
169 they held when parliament
was dissolved last Jan. 25.
The long march of liberal suc
cesses began in the maritime pro
vinces, swept through Quebec with
increasing force and kept up the
pace as western ballots were
counted. ... .
Dr. Manion met personal defeat
in his home city of Fort William.
Ont., by a liberal, Don Mclvor.
Dr. Manion also saw several of
his chief lieutenants defeated.
