Linked with the thought of giving the unemployed work we must bear In mind that the Job must mean a living wane to the men and women employed." Cost Held Justified Father Leipzig maintained that America is at the crossroads of a great economic crisis. The NRA dose not necessarily mean that it will be a panacea for all our Ills, but nevertheless it will mean the greatest good for the majority, 1 The speaker insisted that while there may be criticism In certain quarters over the expenditures of money yet If we are willing to apend billions In time of war, we have a perfect right to spend billions to preserve pence in times of peace.

To supply such a medium, dedicated to truly American ideas, we shall do our utmost" The departure of Moley from offi cial service follows an interesting aer ies of events. Moley was the lone man who accompanied Roosevelt to the White House last winter when Presi dent Hoover asked for a conference on war debts. When Mr. Roosevelt took office, he was made assistant secretary of state. He consulted frequently at the White House. The London economic confer ence came along. Secretary Hull headed the American delegation. Mo ley went over as a special messenger for the president. Something hap pened over there that brought the dif ferences of opinion between Hull and Moley to a climax. The president, of course, stood by his secretary of state. Upon his re. turn Moley was transferred to a ape. cial assignment to study kidnaping and racketeering. He has been on that study for three weeks and separated from the atate department. A week-end outbreak of bandjtry was giving police officers a busy day Monday seeking the men responsible for s Eugene service station robbery, an attempt to rob the Heilig theater and the stealing of a safe belonging to J. C. Ponsler of Florence. Eugene police were investigating the service station and theater jobs while deputy sheriffs and state police were probing the Florence safe theft. The General petroleum station at Seventeenth and Willamette waa en tered and $30.37 obtained aometime Saturday night. An attempted rob bery of the Heilig theater was frus trated by the theater caretaker after he had fired two shots at an intruder. At the service station, entry was gained by sawing off a -padlock on the rear door. Officera believe someone familiar with the station routine was responsible for the job as the. money was kept in a unique hiding place. The loot, consisting of checks and caah, was contained in a sack which was lowered in a tank of oil and fastened to the lid with a string. The robbery of the theater waa at tempted at 5:15. Sunday morning. Howard Johnson, who Bleeps in the basement, heard a noise and went to investigate. As he climbed the stairs leading to the balcony, the intruder met him with n blow in the mouth which knocked him down the steps, Johnson fired two shots at the burg lar who ran, across the balcony and escaped through the door on the weat side of the theater. The safe of the theater contained Saturday's receipts, police said. A safe weighing several hundred pounds was stolen from the office of J. C. Ponsler, automobile dealer at Florence, some time Sunday night and hauled away on a truck. A deputy sheriff and a state police officer left here Monday morning for the coast city to make an Investigation. Mr. Ponsler aaid that the thieves broke the lock of the door of his of fice and lifted the safe bodily into a truck which they backed up to the door. Four or five men must have been implicated, he said, as it would seem imnossiblo for a lesser number 'to have lifted it The safe contained about $80 in cash, all of Mr. Pons ler's books and accounts and other valuable papers. It la believed by the officers that the thieves drove the track to some out of the way place and blew the safe open with dynamite. A atrange truck waa seen in -Florence earlier Sunday night Elmer Payne reported the theft of his car while it was parked near the Osburn apartments sometime be tween 6:30 and 10:15 o'clock Satur day night. .
