The southern Oregon, bill, signed by 22 legislators, would have a fourth district compris ing Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jack son, Josephine and Lane coun ties. It would leave Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Polk, Til lamook, Washington and Yam hill counties in the first district.

State Building Discussed at Conference The ways and means subcom mittee studying proposals to build a new state office building, to join the city of Salem in carrying out a sewage disposal project and to carry toward completion land scaping of the capitol grounds, will report to the main committee soon, probably Thursday, Rep, Carl Engdahl (R-Umatilla), chairman, indicated following a long con ference with Gov. Charles A. Sprague and the board of control staff Monday afternoon. : Engdahl's 'committee made de tailed inquiry into the office build ing and sewage disposal plans but withheld announcement of anyde cision as to its recommendation on either. .'" The discussion disclosed that an effort may be made in the Coming biennium to pay for the agricul ture f building, on which nearly $8000 a year interest is being paid. Roy Molls, state institutions man ager, said the law providing for amortization of this structure ap parently was - inadvertently re pealed a few years ago when leg islation dealing with . the present office building was revised. Appropriation of the $88,000 needed to pay for the agriculture building in fill would add more than ; $73,000 to the impending state budget deficit, but, it was pointed out, would save the state the AM per cent interest on the structure now being paid. ; ' Under the sewage disposal pro Browder Must ST"- Say. o me Court Upholds Conviction : In Passport Fraud (By the Associated Press) j The supreme court yesterdays Upheld communist Earl Browders conviction on pass port charge.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (AP) Earl Browder, Ameri can communist No. 1, lost his appeal to the supreme court Monday from a passport fraud conviction and his last chance to escape a four-year prison term and a $2000 fine unless the court should grant a rehearing. j Without a dissenting, vote; 'the court waved' aside the. legal argu ment upon which the appeal; was based and upheld the convictions of both Browder and an associate, Welwel Warszower,' alias Robert William Wiener of New York, j Makes Important Decision !

Statute of Limitations - j Bars Part of Prosecution ' The statute of limitations barred his prosecution on a charge of obtaining a passport by a false statement. Instead he was tried and convicted under a section of the passport law making it a crime to "willfully and knowingly use . . . any passport the issue of which was secured in any way by reason of any false statement" The "use" of the passport for; which he was prosecuted consist ed of displaying it to an immigra tion inspector to prove his citlzen-i ship upon returning to this coun (Turn to Page 2, Col; 2) Proposals posal, the state would contribute its share toward construction of a sewage disposal plant that would serve the state institutions and the city of Salem and pay a moderate annual sum toward the plant's op eration.

" ' ' The question of a new milk sanitation code, r last mooted ; when the present: milk ordi nance was passed in 1928, came up with the third reading of a new milk cede, modeled In the words of Dr. V. A. Douglas, county Health officer who ex The Oregon Statesman today offers its readers, with pleas ure and pride, what It believes to be a more readable, more convenient, and more modern 'newspaper. This effect is achieved by the substitution, in the first place, of a new type dress for the type to which Statesman readers have been used for a number of years. The new type is known as "Linotype Excelsior," and repre sents the most recent development of the type-designer's art, in that It has been fashioned by experts to make reading as easy as possible. It is in use nowhere else in Salem. In using the Excelsior type-face, the editors of The" Oregon Statesman have been careful to place it on a base wider than the minimum which might be employed. This has been done to allow additional white space between lines, and to promote by still another means the cause of greater legibility. The extra space which is thus required will be made up by the addition of more pages to the daily and Sunday issues of The Statesman. I In order to offer a comparison between the old and the new types, a paragraph printed in the eight-point Century face for merly used, and in the new seven and one-half point Excelsior type are shown as follows: The new type: In discussing fifth column ac tivities here he said "there is no halfway house between despot ism and democracy." The com munist and nazi motives are the same he said, their aim being to create "confusion and distrust in the ranks of America as a means of destroying the capitlist system, of overthrowing the American constitution and of weakening our national defense." The use of the new type, however, is not the sole contribution toward easier readability which is embodied in today's issue of The Oregon Statesman. New headline techniques have been employed throughout the paper, and a significant change has been made in the appear ance of the editorial page. Last Sunday, February 16, saw the use of a second society and feature section in addition to the regular Sunday Statesman, an innovation which is expected to be permanent.- Other changes of a similar nature are now under consideration, and will be announced at an appropriate time. The Oregon Statesman, in making these alterations, has not sought to follow rigorously along established stylebooks, and has not sought to impose a style or taste arbitrarily upon its readers. It has, instead, sought to make changes which are in the direction of modernization and particularly 6f readability which it believes will find favor with its readers and with the public. It would warmly, appreciate comments on how well it has -succeeded. . .. - tf, . : Compensation Hearing Continues to Morn Committee Delves Doggedly in Mass Of Bills "For the Facts;" Much Explaining and Protesting Adjoarning the house judiciary committee at 1:13 o'clock this morning.

Report Is Split On Truck Bill The controversial truck bill which has been before the senate roads: and highways committee since early in the legislative ses sion was-released Monday after noon with a divided report. The majority report, signed by all members of the committee with the exception of Sen. C. H. Zurcher, Wallowa county, recom mended passage of the measure. The bill will be discussed un der special order , of business at 10 am Wednesday. t; The measure would increase the length- of combination truck and trailer from 50 to 60 feet and the weight from 54,000 pounds to 88,000 pounds.

Blow to Greeks Seen in Turk, Bulgar Pact Possible -Armistice in . Italian Conflict ; 'Expected Soon 1 By the Associated Press " Turkey and Bulgaria signed a non-aggression statement a '.'modest document" in Ankara Monday which some informants interpreted as tacit proof Tur key would remain aloof from any German thrust against Greece so long as it did not tap Turkish borders. However, the bi-lateral state ment clearly said that existing obligations with other countries were not altered. Greek sources said that stipulation was "encour aging to Greece. The only commitment in. the Issued statement was that Turkey and Bulgaria abstain from ag gression, but axis sources took the pact' to mean that Turkey de spite her non-belligerent status as an ally of Britain's would remain within her own frontiers and not aid Greece. Thus Greece might be forcea to sue Italy for peace or suffer possible German moves against her. British sources said this reaf firmation of friendship was just that, and that Turkey retained her freedom of action should the German army roll into Bulgaria. Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu himself called the pact a "modest document which "per haps can prevent complication in the Balkans." The Sofia Informants who said Greece was in danger of being left ent on a limb because f tbe accord reasoned 0st Turkey ' did m4 aid Greece when she was attacked by Italy, hence there was bo reason to suppose the Turks would do so should Germany eve against that country especially in con sideration of tbe fact that few believe either Yugoslavia or Bulgaria will deny German de mands. Germany throughout the war has striven to avoid opening up two war fronts. Turkey still is the big military riddle in the Balkans. It was believed by a reliable in formant in Sofia that soviet Russia has put pressure on Turkey in fa vor of German aims in southeast ern Eurcpe." Some believed she sought a promise of Turkish neu trality in return for a nazi prom ise to let Turkey alone. Thus it is possible that only the weather and time for final pol ishing of axis plans hold German troops from shoving on from occu pied Rumania to the strategic vis tas of the eastern Mediterranean where more closely based planes could smash at the Suez canaL Britain's sea power and her med iterranean fleet.
