Peron Fri day night decreed a drastic crackdown on roaming mobs who sacked and burned some of Buenos Aires'' finest churches in the bloody Thursday naval-air revolt. He blamed Communists for the attacks on the churches after the ill-starred revolt in which 360 persons died and nearly 1,000 ' " (The Wheat Surplus Part II) " Tae federal government has ac cumulated stocks of wheat to . the amount of about a billion bushels, equivalent to a supply adequate for about a year and a half. In the effort to reduce production, marketing quotas are -.offered wheatgrowers with a parity", price guarantee of 76 per cent, the al ternative being do price support for those who disregard acreage allotments and only 50 per cent of oarity for those who do. The Toting will be on June 23th. ' -The surplus is real, of that there is .no doubt. But it is a political surplus, not' an economic surplus. Had wheal growing and marketing been under the rule, of the free market the wheat would have been sold and have passed into consumption. Prices would have dropped, to the injury of wheat growers and 'of communities and business dependent on them. That would have induced the corrective scaling down of wheat production either by diverting acres to other crops or by abandoning marginal lands. Fearing the social and eco- f nomic consequences of such opera- ' tion of economic law the govern ment extended the parity support system with the result that farm- ers kept on raising as much wheat as they could, and surpluses ac cumulated. Now no one knows how to set rid of it we can't even give it away successfully. -What the politicians did not fig- ; tire on was the crudity of the par- ity principle. It took no account of CI) the application of power in farming making large-scale grow ing of wheat economical; (2). im provements in scientific "agricul ture improved seeds and strains, we of fertilizers, improved farm culture; (3) favorable weather; f4 change in diet which lowered per capita consumption of wheat for most of the years since the drouth years of the 1930s."

WRIGHT, JR. Staff Writer, The Statesman . Decision on a defense ' motion, rhich could free Casper Oveross from a first degree murder charge for the second time, will be handed down today by Circuit Judge George Duncan in whose court the Silverton carpenter is scheduled to go on trial Tuesday. i The surprise motion to throw out a grand jury indictment was. filed Friday by Defense i Attorneys Bruce Williams and Otto R. Sko pil Jr. It charged the! district at torney with failure to secure a court order for resubmitting the Ervin Kaser murder case to the grand jury which they i say is con trary to Oregon law. j Arguments on the motion and a request by Oveross to withdraw his plea of "Not Guilty" were heard by Judge Duncan Friday and furnished a lively preview of the court battle in prospect when the case goes to trial. .. The motion, if granted by the court, could serve to postpone legal action against Oveross and would presumably force his release from the Marion County jail where he has been held since May 29. . Nulification of the indictment, returned" by a Marion County grand jury May 16, would leave the state with no legal grounds for holding the 43-year-old defend ant. Oregon Law Cited Defense attorneys cited Oregon bw and several Oregon cases in support of their contention that law specifically requires a court crder for resubmission of a case to the grand jury. They contended that the prosecution erred also in failure of the grand jury to report either a "true bill" or -"not true biU" against Oveross when his case was presented to it in Feb ruary. ".!'!. District Attorney 'Kenneth . O. Brown, harassed also by. the de fense over legal handling of sub poenaing of witnesses, said the law" precludes jrithdrawaL of the plea and asked the court to take note of the "unseasonable" timing of the defense motion, - ' Brown countered the defense precedent of a court order with the contention that ! in the case cited the man had been bound over to the grand jury which was not true in the Oveross case. Studied Briefs Skopil said he had made a close study of briefs of the 1920 case involving State vs. Turner and re ported he could find nothing in them to indicate that it was any Different from the Oveross case. The defense stated they had only discovered Thursday the alleged illegality in the grand jury action. It was timing of the motion, three days before the trial was sched uled to begin, that brought Brown's sharpest criticism. He asked the judge to note that "this motion was made on the very eve of the trial." Lawbook Battle ; It was an hour;long , lawbook battle between Williams and Skopil on one side, and Brown with his special prosecutor assistant Charles E. Raymond of Portland on the other. I s- - Judge Duncan said he would consider the arguments presented et the hearing and give his deci sion at 11 a.m. today. (Additional details on page 5, sec. 1.) Today's Statesman i Sec.

Paul L, Fatteroom and Suit Challenges Method, Size Of Saleitn's Street Assessments A suit Questioning the method i and amount which the city of Sa-1 lem assessed property owners for paving and other improvements of West Judson Street was filed Friday in Marion County Circuit Court by a group of property owners along the street The city of Salem is defendant If judgment should favor the property owners, it might involve assessments made for all streets improved under section 26 of the city charter, according to Harold W. Adams Jr., attorney for the property owners. The suit for declaratory judg ment charges the assessment was excessive and that the method of arriving at it was illegal and un constitutional . When the city does street Im provement work, the complaint states the charter provides that property owners are to be as sessed on the basis of labor and material costs, plus 10 per cent ot that total. Higher Estimate The city is charged with basing its assessment on West Judson Street on labor and material costs, interest, equipment rental and insurance and then applying the 10 per cent This meant the cost was from 10 to 25 per cent higher than it should have been, Adams estimated. The street from South Com mercial to Morningsidr drive, was improved by the city in 19" at a total cost for paving, curbs and sidewalks of $15,575.

Raises for " i- -" Thousands to Start in Ausust A state payroll increase of ap proximately $2,000,000 was author lzed Friday by the State1 Emerg ency Board. This will mean higher pay for thousands of state employes, but not a general increase for .all state workers. Beginning with paychecks to be received in August, the pay boosts wOi take effect gradually during the coming year. That s because most of them de pend on the individual employe's i record of work, as passed on by his department head at the normal time of his annual merit review under civil service. Another feature of the new pay plan developed by the State Civil Service Commission is that most of the higher pay is set up at th top of the various pay ranges, to make possible more raises and a higher ceiling for workers planning to make a career in state employ ment. Raise for New Employes But the Civil Service Commission also found inequities in starting pay, the board was told by Civil Service Director Charles . Terry. with the result that many new em ployes starting work after July 1 will get more pay immediately than the present starting rate. Approval of the plan came at an emergency board meeting in the tapito: Friday morning. Board members voted for it unanimously after questioning Terry, civil serv ice commissioners and Finance Di rector Harry Dorman on some of the details. Th pay scales which received long study by the commission are those of all state employes under civil service and those unclassified employes whose pay is not set by separate legislation. This amount to some 15,000 employes, but Terry said it couldn't be estimated how many of them would actually re ceive increases until the plan has been in operation some months. , Total Cost Given If every present state employe stays on his job in the corning year and each isjudged worth the an nual merit raise according to new pay schedules, Terry said, the to tal maximum cost to the state in additional salary would be $2,620, ooo. . , This would leave at least $150,000 to meet salary emergencies that might arise before the 1937 Legis lature meets. But civil service and finance officials made it definite to the emergency board that the "cushion" amount actually will be more probably around $500,000 because of turnover in jobs and some employes not qualifying for raises. Raises for 3,000 About 3,000 employes who are now at the top of their pay range will have chances for raises under the new system. In fact, Terry re ported, an estimated half of the to tal fund will go into raises for this group and the 500 employes ex pected to reach the top of pay range in the coming year. The recent Legislature set aside i,jt',wu iFom general iuna ana had earmarked another $1,476,000 from dedicatee funds for salary adjustment, to be determined by the civil service group, subject to the emergency board's approval. Board members heard Friday that civil service commissioners, after hearing out department heads and reviewing the entire plan this week, felt that the new pay sched ule corrects most of the inequities in pay among state positions and, within the limit of state money available, provides increases in jobs where competition from out side sources is strong, like engi neering, accountants and others.
