Banks in Kngltsh, Leavenworth. Corydon and Corydon Junction, all small communities in southern Indiana, wero taken over by th state banking department on the heels of the failure yesterday of two hanks at New Albany, Ind.. across the Ohio river from ljouisviue. Banks at Paris, Tenn., Doniphan and Edinn, Mo., at Crestwood. Louis ville suburb, and Mndisonville, Ky. at Asheville, N. C and a negro bank in Nashville, Tenn., were the others to close. 1 Closing of the aix Indiana banks was attributed to the recent failure of a group of Louisville banks. Tho closing in Kentucky today brought the number there to fifteen in a week, seven in Louisville and two in its suburbs. The Asheville clos ing was the ninth in North Carolina intwo days. The Missouri closing was blamed to heavy withdrawals. Eugene Couple Wed 62 Years Mr. and Mrs. George M. Dlllard. 5S2 East Broadwoy, celebrated their sixty-second wedding onniversary on Thursday.

Freak Plane To Have Test Here Monday X "Tb Last Laugh," frenkish-Iook-ing airplane 1 invented and built by Roy Scrogga, loco 1 tailor, will be given an opportunity to tent its wings, or rather lack of wings, at tha Eugene municipal airport Monday morning, provided the fog is not too dente, otherwise Monday afternoon. The plane, which ia shaped after fashion of a paper dart, without the usual wings of an airplane, will be handled on ita trial by Henry Hershev, United States Nary teat pilot, who will come here from Spat tie for the purpose. Claude Gardiner will serve as the mechanic in giving the ship the test. "The Last Laugh" made its first trial a year ago Labor, day at the Newman ranch on route 1, where It wan built. At that time the plane, piloted by Hersbey, rose from the ground a few feet, although it did not attnin n great altitude. Since that time Mr. Scrogga has made a num ber of improvements nnd Is quite confident the freak ship will raise properly Monday. Mr. Scroggs first designed and started working on "The Iast Laugh" during the World War. Since It has been completed It has attracted much attention in avia tion circles. A model of the machine was recently made and exhibited a the aeronautical show at Miami, Florida. Among the advantages of the plane are slower takcoff and land ing speeds, and more passenger and freight space. The La?t Laugh left the ground at a speed of 'Jo n.iles per hour a year ago. That speed is much less tbau is required for ordinary airplanes. T BOSTON. Nov. 21. OP) Liquor rnlued at a million dollars, one of the largest seizures in the history of prohibition enforcement, was in the bands of government agents to dnv. This estimate of the value of caraoes of two liquor laden barges was given at the office of the east ern division commander of the coast guard. The barges, the Edith and Eagle Hit) nnd Hie ocean-going tug Murrell of New York, were captured by the coast gunrd patrol boat Jackson off the Maine const Wednesday nnd brought to Hosion Inst night. Nine teen men, the rrews of the tug and barces, were taken into custody. Government agents who made a preliminary examination of the car goes said if all the containers and eases that appeared to contain con tra brand did in fact, the seizure would probably be the bigest ever made on the Atlantic coast.

BE Heavy stocking of the McKentie river with Rainbow trout within the next yenr, conctructinn by the state .highway commission of additional fish ponds near the Eugene city power plant nt Lenburg. and early de velopment of the Willamette highway were three projects which were an nounced at tho monthly meeting of the Lane county chamber of com merce "tMiursday evening. The meeting wna held at the Howard dining room on the Pnciflc highway north of Ku gene, with H. K. Mnxey of Spring field, president of the chamber, pre siding. The release of 300,000 Rainbow trout two years old in the McKenzie river next November, one year from now. was announced ot the meeting by David Evans of Eugene, member of the Oregon state game commis sion. The trout which will be re leased were hatched in 1920. Mr. Ev ans said, and at the time when they are turned loose in the McKenzie ther will be from eight to twelve inches in length. They will be placed in the stream just after the close of the 1031 fishing senson. The release of trout that size. Mr. Evans said, is in accordance with a new policy of the game commission. State game wardens have come to the conclusion that the rate of mor tality among fingerlings, which have heretofore been released, 1ms been entirely too high. The two-year-old trout will be much ' better nble to take care of themselves, and they will have from November until the open ing of the next fishing season in the spring of 1932 to become accustomed to the river before becoming eligible for catching. The -state game commission will hereafter include In ita bud tret each year a sum ranging from $2000 to V000 for construction of additional fish ponds ot the Leaburg power plant on the McKenzie, Mr. Evans announced at 'the meeting. One fish pond adjacent to the dam was con structed as an experiment by the Eu gene water board, and there is space for many more. The ponds will cost in the neighborhood of $20tK each, and one or two can be constructed each yenr. Complete development of the Wil lamette highway as soon as is prac tical is favored by the stute highway commission and by the federal bu reau of public roads, it was an nounced at the meeting by Judge C. V. Barnard of the Lane county court. However, .fudge Barnard said, no work will be don on the Willamette highway above Onkridge until the sections of the Mr-Kenzie nnd Itoose velt highways in Lane county are completed. ' N( i i saass-sss.. a s.....ia.... a.saaassa I LITTLE HELP Pictures Taken Shortly After Death of Man Held in La Grande IDENTITY NOT DECIDED Views Show Man Wasted By Hunger; Scar Is Lacking , Two photographs of the man be lieved by the sheriff of Union county to be Bay Sutherland, Marco la mur derer, were received at the sheriffs office Friday afternoon and were ex pected to reveal whether the killer of Deputies Oscar Duley and Joe Saun ders has bceu found. Sheriff H. L. Bowu uud Deputies John Cnrlile, tieorge- Cunudy and Lee Bown were out of the city, und their return was being awutted for identifi cation of the pictures. There was no one in the office who knew Suth erland. The photos were taken shortly after the death of the old man in the La Grande hospital. One shows him I Hiore he was shaved. He had a heavy beard. The other shows him after he waa shaved. If the photographs are considered enough like Sutherland to the sheriff, a deputy will probably be sent to La Grande or the remains of the old man shipped to Eugene. Return Awaited The return of the sheriff is expect ed to put an end to the case, which turned out n puzzle to La Grande authorities. Sheriff Jesse Bresheors of Union couuty told authorities here tlint the old man conformed in every particular to identification, of Suther land published on the poster broad cast after the murder. Doctors who examined the body at La Grande, however, ttuted there was no scar over his forehead as Sutherland-had, and that there were no bullet wounds on the body. Believed Wounded Sutherland was believed to have heen wounded in the gun battle at Marcola with Deputies Lee Bown and Bodney Boach and a trail of blood was traced to a creek the morning after the murder of Duley and Saun ders. The photographs revealed the hun ger nnd wasting of the old man. He was found in a barn and taken to the hospital, where be remained two weeks before attention was brought to authorities. He waa clothed in rag ged waist overalls and was nearly famished. PORTLAND, Ore.. Nov. 2L OP) Detectives investigating the alleged murder of Mrs. Leone Bowles, 'A3. Portland society matron who died from a knife wound ten days tgo, to day turned their attention to n soiled towel, apparently bloodstained. The towel wan found yesterday In the apartment of Mrs. Irmn Loucks Paris, 2'S. in whose apartment Mrs, Bowles died. Mrs. Paris and Nelson il. Bowles, 34. widower of the dead woman, have been charged with (he murder. They told police Mrs. Bowles stubbed' herself, District Attorney Stanley Myers soid, he attached little importance to the towel but others were of the opinion il might prove to be nn lm portimt clew. Iietectives said the towel Intro two large stains with an unstained portion ltetMeen them sueb as could have been made by wiping the death knif.. with the cloth. Direct Program For Child Welfare Assured WASHINGTON. Not. 21. OP) Sliding; past a point of danger, the President's conference on child health and protection proceeded today toward adoption of a promised direct program for welfare of the young. The storm, which broke In a sub-committee over a recommenda tion to give the public health service maternity and child health activities now handled by the labor department's children's bureau, was quieted for a time at least. The question may he passed to a con tinuation committee which will take up all the conference leaves unfinlnhed. At the center of the difficulty stood Miss Grace Abbott, head of the chil dren's bureau, who has been sup ported by some as a successor to the retiring secretary of labor, .lames J. Davis. Hbe was in a minority of on aeainut the transfer when last night the entire public health section of tlie conference approved the plan. The majority agreed, however, to glre her dissenting opinion the same distribution granted the report of the majority views, presented by the iib committee which earlier In the day bad voted the change over a stronir protest by women supporting Minn Abbott. Itealizing the seriousness of a pos sible break, the ronferenc's proced ure rommittee is tied a declaration that the entire program was so im portant ns to justify any amount of time and effort to secure harmony. It pointed out questions defying so lution may be passed over to the group which wilt carry on the con ference work. The transfer question is of long standing as a source of conflict be tween the health service and the children's bureau. Support for it ap parently rests on a belief the mater nity work fs more of a medical func tion, than it is a social service. Miss Al.bH yeMerdoy had the strontf support of Secretary Davis who in an address to the whole ron fere nee declared emphatically against subtracting any functions from the children bureau.

Crabbe, father of Ohio'a irj lawn and former attorney general of Ohio, today announced he favored a modification of the Crabbe act to per mit the eale of light wines and beer. Crabbe said tha enforcement of the present stringent prohibition law, la Ohio was "not aatlsfactory" and that the people of the atate bad not re spected the statute. Modification Need Tho former attorney general said the law waa filed to promote trut temperance and that It needed to be modified to eult the majority of the people of the atate. Crabbe aald he waa for modification which would permit the aale of light winea and beer under atrict gorern- ' ment control. Thla plan, he pointed out, could not become effective, how ever, without a modification of tat Volstead act. "Light wines and beer under strict governmental control would be pref erable to what we have now," Crabbe) said. "There i neither respect for nor true enforcement of the present law. If the law aa enacted had been prop erly respected and enforced I would, not have advocated exchange but I am willing to concede that this la not true and consequently am In favor of modification.
