CO
OF WIDENING
East Eleventh Group is
Declared Opposed to
Loss of Trees
BEER LICENSES UP
West Eleventh Through
Street Project is
Given Backing
Consideration of remonstrances
against a proposal to widen East
Eleventh avenue and recommendot
ions on beer license applications will
feature the deliberations of the city
fathers at the first lOHii meeting of
the city council at city hall Mon
day night.
It will be the first official ap
pearance of the new city recorder,
Calvin M. Bryan and Councilman
Fred Carlson, who was elected to
replace P. J. Edwards in the first
word.
Tree Loss Fought
In the Eleventh avenue contro
versy, the council will be deluged
with petitions, one group remon
strating against any plan to widen
East Eleventh street and the other
advocating establishment of West
Eleventh avenue as a stop street.
W. F. Gilstrop, who with B. B.
Brundnge is circulating petitions
against the widening project, said
Saturday 10 property owners on
Eleventh hod signed the petitions,
representing approximately 2,000 feet
frontage. Many property owners on
side streets off Eleventh hod ex
pressed themselves as opposed to
the measure, he said. He expected
to have many more signatures be
fore Monday night.
The petitions protest the widening
of the street which would cause
the removal of shade trees along
the avenue, destroying an "orna
ment" to the city.
Grange Favors Plan
The Pi gene Realty board is to
present a resolution, urging the wi
dening of the street for the purpose
of creating it fl through street, thus
acting to curtail the many accidents
at intersections of this street. Coun
cilman E. W. Zumwnlt has proposed
establishing the entire length of Ele
venth avenue as a through street,
his plan also embracing the widen
ing of East Eleventh which is now
only 34 feet wide, hardly sufficient
to accommodate concentrated traffic,
he points out.
Residents in the area just west of
the city are getting up petitions
urging the council to make Eleventh
a stop street as a safety measure.

Production Must
Be Controlled To
Miss Ruin, Compton
WASHIXGTOX, Jan. 12 UP)
Complete disintegration of the lumber
industry was predicted todny by Dr.
Wilson Compton, manager of the Na
tional Lumber Manufacturers associa
tion, uunless production control is
continued.
Without control of production,
Compton, said, the fore at products
industries are threatened with "com
petitive pressure" which will return
"sweat shop wages' force "disinte
gration" and "waste the forest re
sources." On the other hand, be said, direct
federal regulation and "eventually
public ownership," may possibly follow
if NBA should remove "deliberate ad.
justment of production to consump
tion." "The vast but widely scattered for
est products industries, due to finan
cial and competitive pressure, hive
been for many years under the severe
handicap of continuous actunl or
threatening over production." Comp
ton snid in a statement today enlarg
ing on a report be submitted to the
national industrial recovery board
hearing on general price conditions.
This condition has ordinarily re
sulted, not only in destructive com
petition, but also in waste of natural
resources and deterioration of de
pendent communities, he added.
Project Held Feasible as
Part of President's
Power Program
A renewed drive in the interest
of the $1,000,000 Ilennie dnm pro
ject on the MeKenzie river was
forecast here Saturday by cham
ber of commerce officials who de
clared that with the president favor
ing such projects as unemployment
relief measures the time .ppeared
ripe to push this project.
As soon as the perplexing problem
of locating the chamber offices can
be settled, a meeting of the Ilennie
dnm committee of the chamber, head
ed by Dr. II. W. Titus, probably will
be called, II. E. Cully, secretary,
said Saturday.
This committee will obtnin latest
information on the status of the
project in Washington and will put
an intensive campaign designed to
"sell" surrounding cities on the pro
ject. This campaign la expected to
include mass meetings in such cities
as Albany, Lebanon, Brownsville and
other towns at which Eugene re
presentatives will outline the pro
posal and explnin the advantage of
such a power development to the
entire area.
So far as is known at present,
the Bennie dam project has received
approval of the Oregon PWA com
mittee, the engineering, finance and
legal departments of PWA in Wash
ington, but is against the opposition
of Secretary Ickes. However, with
the president recently advocating
such projects, it is believed the
Ilennie dom project could be jam
med through PWA if a concentrated
effort were to be made.

Bruno Richard Hauptmauu's wit

will consist of answers to seven
questions and six of the answers
will be "Xo,"
Hauptmann'a wife, Anna, will fol

the defense expects the state "to ac

defense has shown Mrs. Lindbergh,"
mother of the bnby for whose murder
Hauptmann is now on trial.
Blanket Denial Outlined
Said Edward J. Reilly, Hnupt

"I think we shall ask Hauptmann
only mo von questions. The questions,
and their expected answers, are:
"1. Did you kidnap the Lindbergh
bnby? A, Xo,

the night of the kidnaping? A. Xo.
"3. Did you make the ladder
(which the state contends was used
in gaining admission to the Lindbergh
nursery)? A. No.
"4. Did you go up that ladder to
kidnap the Lindbergh baby? A. Xo.
"5. Were you in New Jersey the
night of the kidnaping? A. No.
"0. Did you write the ransom
notes? A. Xo.
"7. Where did you get the money
that wns found in your garage? A.
From Isador Fisch."
Reciprocation Expected
Although Hnuptmnnn's direct ex

Reilly did not Indicate what testi

It is expected to be corroborative of
Hauptmann'a as concerns Isador
