Locke was returned home and Dunsmore left alone. He became lost in a blinding snowstorm, how ever, and had to make an emer gency landing. In doing so, the p ro pe llor and landing gear were smashed.

LEGION CLU3 Attempts End The subcommittee, headed by Senator Fulbright (D-Ark) asked the federal investigators yesterday to examine the testimony at its hearings for evidence of perjury, tax evasion or other violations of federal law. 1 ' " ' 'l The subcommittee has been air ing charges that an influence ring, with contacts Inside the White House, has brought pressure on the RFC, huge government lend ing agency. Some directors of the corporation have bowed to the pressure, the subcommittee says. Senator Capehart (R-Ind) today called for a general investigation of government agencies, charging that the RFC probe has uncover ed a scandal that makes Teapot Dome "look like Sunday School stuff." Fulbright told reporters tonight the senate investigation has been marked by admissions from some witnesses that made him think: : "Why, the sleezy S.O.B." He recently declared "I have never heard so much lying in my life as has marked the sworn testimony of some witnesses. He still declined to name the ones whose testimony he does not be lieve, or whom he ; considered "sleezy." Fulbright told reporters he be lieves the inquiry has shown "a deterioration of moral standards of a type that can destroy confi dence in government."; But he declined to go along with Cape hart's contention that it is a scandal worse than Teapot Dome. "Teapot Dome was out-and-out bribery of a cabinet officer" Ful bright said. "But these are cases of improper conduct that is not illegal. According to their think ing, their conduct is all right, I think it is wrong." The subcommittee, he said, has no evidence of any passing of bribes in connection ' with RFC loans, but has plenty of evidence of "highly improper and immoral" conduct.

No one will be able to afford to buy the meat at the prices it will have to bring. R- D. Clark of the North Portland Union Stockyards, said, adding "But the meat cant be sold for less because of the high cost of labor and feed that is used in its production.' Clarke spoke of the "undecided ness and the discouragement of persons," saying that he had never seen them "lower." I "No one can make up pis mind whether we are going to; have to fight a war or if we are Just building up a big military mach ine in Washington,'' he went on, before he spoke of the differential between live hogs In Chicago and Portland Si. 63 at tne time. - I Three things Clark present s "- saidl he would like to see are Federal Re serve banks loaning money freely at a gradually increasing interest rate; raising taxes, and selling government bonds on a patriotic basis. These things might help "put a damper on excessive spending," he said. That the state of Oregon is "broke Gat broke" was the state ment of Representative Giles French, whose talk followed that of Clark's. People, of Oregon, he said, continue to vote Improve ments, buildings, pensions but no revenue with which to pay them. Oregon income taxes were as high as any state In the union, and nothing more could be had from that section. Corporation excise taxes were high enough to keep manufacturers out of thej state. The state of Oregon is a great producer of raw materials but not much of a producer of finished products," he said. As "ures" he favored a business tax for "main street business," explaining that the farmer's personal property tax on livestock was in actuality a "business tax for thej farmer. He indicated a sale's tax might help and stated that "Oregon has been extravagant according to other state's spending. She is go ing to have to practice! economy whether she likes it or (not. Roy Ward, 'manager of Pacific Wool Growers, urged all sheep men to save their ewes this next year and stated that any ceilings on wool should be "thej value of foreign wool plus the duty" Charles Evans urged more funds for predatory animal! con trol, and reported briefly on the state convention held at Klamath Falls In January. He j also an nounced next year's convention for MeMinnville. 1 : Under the direction of Anthol Riney the Middle Grove Tractor Maintenance 4-H club put on a demonstration in honor of, Na tional 4-H week.
