At President Roosevelt's direction, administration fiscal officials are studying a modification of the processing tax system to finance parity payments to farmers. The payments, which amount ed to $225,000,000 last year, are designed to lift farm purchasing power to pre-world war levels. The supreme court invalidated a processing tax in 1934, and since then parity payments like other farm benefits have been paid out of general treasury revenues. Secretary Morgenthau, budget director Harold D. Smith, and Federal Reserve Chairman M. S. Eccles were among those who met with Secretary Wallace yesterday and heard him explain a certificate plan which he advocates. Those at tending the closed session with held comment until a further meeting. The certificate plan would op erate like this: A farmer selling certain crops, particularly wheat and cotton would obtain the full parity price from the elevator operator or deal er. The farmer would give for the difference between parity and market prices a certificate sup. plied by the agriculture department. The elevator man or dealer would sell the product In the same way, the certificate accompanying the crop through each sale until it reached a processor. The latter probably would repay himself for the amount of the certificate by charging more for the bread, cloth or other product made from the crop.

Long before the government gave the "go ahead" signal for the de velopment, fish experts, employed by the U. S. army engineers, studied the Willamette and its tri butaries, made detailed studies of the problem. A special agency has been set up by the U. S. bureau of fisheries to advise on plans in connection with the construction of all dams on western American rivers. Satisfied Backers of the Willamette pro ject are not desirous of destroying fish life, the statement says. The majority of the state's fishing in terests, including Lane county delegation, appear to be satisfied with the project. They maintain the small harm being done to the industry is being more than repaid in other advantages and action being taken by the state in fish propagation. "If none of the four large dams are constructed, in fact, if not all or at least three out of four are constructed, then the million dol lars already spent by the federal government for bank revetment on the main stream and the $11, 300.000 appropriated for and now being spent on the construction of the three small dams in Lane county will be a total loss," it is maintained by the project officials. Revetment will not stand continu ed ravages on uncontrolled floods and the three storage reservoirs in Lane county will not hold more than a tenth of the flood waters the seven dams will control. The project, especially since it has been approved by the army engineers and congress and is now even under construction, should not be stopped because of the sel fish interests of a few individuals, it is declared. Among those attending the ses sion were J. W. McArthur, chair man of the Eugene water board; Elmer Maxey. Springfield pub lisher; Warren D. Smith, head of the University of Oregon geology department; Dr. A. T. Oberg, for mer president of the Eugene cham ber of commerce; Fred G. Stickels present president of the chamber; Elmo Chase, vice-chairman of the basin commission; and N. J. Nel son, Cottage Grove postmaster. Americans Unwanted In Canada's Army OTTAWA TW ai. (Canadian Press) Americans may fight for Canada in the air, it appeared to day, but at the cost of becoming mn withntit a rntintrv. In the army, however, the rules still provide against tne enlist ment of non-British citizens. Canadians had a quick explana tion for .reports from the United Kingdom that about 100 Ameri cans were in the first Canadian contingent which landed there Sunday they said the "Ameri cans" apparently were Canadians who had resided in the United States or Americans who had be come naturalized British. Restrictions against enlistment of aliens in the Canadian militia forces remain In force and offi cials said none was accepted know ingly. It is always possible, however, it was pointed out, for an Ameri can or other non-Canadian to get hv rAniitjnff nffii-r when Can adian next-of-kin addresses are provided. COPPER FIGURES WASHINGTON.

NIGHTLY AT 6:45 P. M. Success of Miss Le Gallienne With Ibsen Is Conclusive Demand for Better Drama By WALLACE MUNRO The success achieved by Eva LeGallienne and her splendid company in Ibsen's two most im pelling plays, "Hedda Gabler" and "The Master Builder" upon what might be termed a triumphant trans-continental tour, indicates that there is still a demand for the better things in the drama, and that the art of histrionic re flection, when exemplified by talented and cultured players, is appreciated and patronized. Miss LeGallienne will appear at the McDonald theater, Jan. 3. No young actress of the time has so conscientiously and assid uously applied her artistry to any higher alms than this self-same Eva LeGallienne, who following the dictates of her own convic tions living loyally to an ob jective point on her ambitious road to prominence that of pre senting the master efforts of Henrik Ibsen, who is today one of the most popular authors in the United States, if not the world, and today she is the acknowledged foremost exponent of Ibsen before the American public. Her presentations of "Hedda Gabler." her Eugene vehicle, and "The Master Builder" have been acclaimed the most sane, under standable - interpretations ever given in this country and disclose the consummate artistry of Miss LeGallienne and her associates. All sophistic reasonings, all sym bolism, all bizarre readings have been eliminated in this truly up-to-the-minute performance that fairly bristles with youthful vir ility, directness of dialogue and genuinely logical analysis of dra matic moments. Tickets for "Hedda" are now on sale. TVSCALOOSA LEAVES NEW YORK.

' Thomas H. Burgess of the U. S. forest service Informed the west ern forestry and conservation com mission that California was the biggest loser with 7,674 fires burning 649,348 acres. Oregon was next with 2,527 tires destroy ing 364,451 acres. Smokers were second only to lightning as a cause of fires. J. W, Ferguson, Oregon state forester, .and Merntt Pratt, Cali fornia state forester, said more funds were needed for fire protection. The charge the U. S. forest service is "over organized" while state and private associations are "under organized and lack funds" was made by T. S. Goodyear, Washington state forester. A proposed national park, ex tending along the Cascade moun tains from Mount Hood, Ore., to the Canadian border, was opposed by the commission because it would "lock up" timber resources. A.
