SILVER BLOC THREATENING TO FILIBUSTER Roosevelt Refuses to Commit Himself MEASURES HELD UP Silver Price of 77 Cents Or Higher Demanded by Bloc Today Washington, June 21 Uli-Rcliublc sources reported toduy that Presi dent Roosevelt has refused to grant demands of western senators for an Increuse in the price paid by the trea sury for domestically-mined silver. Some members of the icnate silver bloc, threatening to delay action on "must" monelury legislation unless the price Is raised to 77.3 cents an ounce or higher, were understood to havo communlruted their request to Uie president today, along with an outline of the situation confrontinu Iho monetary measure. Kooaevelt, il waa suld, definitely declined to commit himnclf to a price ubuvo the present C4.G4 cents on ounce. WARNING IS (1IVKN Washington, June 21 Tho senate silver bloc today openly Informed the administration that It will at tempt to delay a vote on "must" mon etary legislation In an effort to force the treasury to incrcute the purchase price fur domestic silver. Senate Majority leader Allien W. Barkley said ho had not decided what tactics to employ to break up the maneuver o movement of fill butter aspects which threatened ad ministration plans for fast sehato ac tion on monetary, relief and tax leg islation. Burkley said members of the bloc Informed him directly of the dan, when the senate met, Sen. Elmer Thomas, D Oklu., a member of the bloc advocating issuance of currency against silvor reserves, opened an address and advised Berkeley It will continue "several hours." Kills Delayed Neither administration forcos nnr the allver bloc would say that a flli- burler was in progress. But it was evident that administration hope for mailing to a quick vole its bill to ex tend President Roosevelt's dollar de valuation Dowers and the $2,000,000. 000 stahiliuilion fund was being demoralized by Iho tactics of western senators. Sen. Key Pltlmun, D Nov., intro duced an amendment to the mon elury bill to require the treasury to Dov $1 27 for alb silver acquired or held under tho purchase program.- The western senators aro led by Sen. Pat McCarran, D., Nov. Tliev seek uctlon or a pledge from Secretary of Treasurv Henrv Mor genthuu, Jr., looking to a substantial Increase in the price of domestically mined silver above the present price of 04.64 cents an ounce. McCarran wants the price pegged at $1.04. but It was understood lhat this group would compromise. Tho new price must be proclaimed bv President Roosevelt bv midnight, June 30 the name deadline on which his powers further to devalue the dollar will ex pire unless continued bv congress, McCarran insisted he was not "threatening" Murgenthau "or any one else." He refused to put the fill buster label upon his tactics. But he added significantly that "there will tp no stabilization until there is stabilization of honest American money, which is gold and silvor." As treasury legislative experts supervised re-printing of tho 1840 tax bill to show senate finance com mittee changes, Sen. Robert M. La Follette, P., Wis., announced that he will attempt to amend the bill to Include his program of higher lnoome taxes and lower exomplions. The LuFollette amendment would begin the Incomo tax rates at four ner cent on net Incomes between $3,000 and $4,000, Personal exemp tions for unmarried taxpayers would be lowered to $800 from $1,000. New Jersey Delegates Pledged to Roosevelt Washington, June 21 Ml Senator William H. Smothers, D., N. J., said today that New Jersey's 32 dole-gates to tho 1940 democratic national con vention will be pledged to tho re nominntion of President Roosevelt. "Every democrat In the state be lieves that Roosevelt, who carried Now Jorsey the Inst time by approxi mately a half million majority, can again sweep tho state In 1940," Smothers said In a statement. "They all believe that ho will bo druftod by the party to lend It to victory again next year. "President Rooscvolt Is tho one democrat In the nation who can corry New York state In 1940, be cause ho Is the one democrat In the country that the progressive mayor of Now York, Florello La Guardin, will support against Thomas E. Dewey or any other reactionary re publican." Smnthers' prediction that Jersey delegates would be for Roosevelt followed another refusal by tho presi dent to discuss In a press conference whether he would bo a candidate In 1840. .

The action uives Nippon's war machine complete domination of all land and sea approaches to this British crown colony. i Japanese columns, completing their encirclement oi bwatow. reached Anpow, two miles north of Ewalow on the Han river al 2:30 p. m. The Japanese naval authorities an- ; nounced they had removed all mines and obstruction booms from the river and that their transports were docking In Swatow city. Navy and air forces were co-operating with the army to inflict heavy damage on the retreating Chinese. i Reply Is Ominous The Japanese movement was an ominous reply to the meeting of British and French naval chiefs atj Singapore to plan joint action against i further Japanese encroachments in I southern Asia where Britain and France have huge colonial holdings. The operations aro designed to extinguish the regime of Chinese Nationalist Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and ' arc not directed against Chinese masses," the Japa nese said. The Japanese started coming ashore at dawn from transports an chored off the city. There was brisk fighting and Japa nese big guns set fire to part of Bwalow before Chinese defenders under General Chang Fa-Kuet, fa mous Ironsides commander, re treated into the interior.

MURAL MOUNTED IN NEW CAPITOL Artist Supervises Task of Placing: Scene Salem, Or., June 21 IP A huge mural depicting the arrival at Salem of the news that Oregon had been admitted to the union was mounted In the senate of the new state capitol building today. Frank H. Schwarz, New York ar tist who did the latest painting and two of the four murals in the rotunda of the capitol, came here from the east to supervise the mounting. The mural, which is mounted on a curved background above the presi dent's platform, is dominantly grey with overtones of blue, green and lavender, to harmonize with the dork wood panelling of the room. The scene shows Steffin Senter, young Oregon City horseman, who had splashed overland from Oregon City with the newsc of admission, arriving In Salem after a 30 -hour ride. March 16, 1859. The pioneers shown on the panel seem only lethargic In their interest In the news. Schwarz said research indicated the people of Salem, in censed when an earlier application for admission had been turned down, were not avid In their interest. The scene is laid before the old Bennett house, leading hostelry of the day. Many pioneers are standing around In groups, and Senter, the courier, is reading from a written dispatch. Women, dressed In tho cos tume of the era, show little more in terest than the men. Schwarx said he had made no ef fort at portraiture in his work, but that several of the men represented wero painted with the idea of in dividual pioneers in mind. Included In these are General Joseph Lane and Jesse Applcgatc, men who were believed to be in Salem tho day the news arrived. Second of tho ' two legislative chambor murals, to bo mounted over tho speaker's roster in the house of representatives, was In Salem but was not to be unvealed until the ar rival oi Its artist, Barry Faulkner, who divided tho painting assignment with Schwarts.

DESCHUTES GROUP SEES COURTHOUSES Four Arc Inspected On Tour This Week Four county courthouses similar in construction to that proposed for Deschutes county were inspected the first of the week by members of the court and Ross Famham, legal ad visor for the proposed structure. County Judge C. L. Allen, and Com missioners William J. Baer and Fam ham went to Portland Sunday where they arranged with Truman E. Phil lips, member of the architect's firm which has planned Deschutes coun ty s courthouse. Phillips accompa nied the Deschutes group to Oregon City, Tillamook, Roseburg, and Al- cany where courthouses were in spected, t . Although most of the buildings are larger than the $150,000 proposed structure for Deschutes county. Judge Allen said today that the trip was quite valuable in aiding the court to criticize its own plans. - Among the changes suggested fol lowing the trip was the addition of a jailer's living quarters on the roof of the building near the jail, and en largement of the law library room. Phillips has conferred with Cir cuit Judge T. F. J. Duffy, who is conducting court in Portland, con cerning his quarters. Judge Allen said today. The Deschutes county group returned late yesterday. Similar construction to that pro posed for Deschutes county is used in the Douglas county building at Roseburg which is 11 years old and is being used in the Linn county courthouse at Albany now under construction. The outside will prob ably be of concrete with a sand blast finish. Concrete for the Albany building has been poured. Judge Allen sue- gested that anyone who planned to go through that city stop at the build ing and study the plans and con struction. He especially urged that members of the courthouse advisory committee inspect the Linn county courthouse. Members of the commit tee are A. J. Glassow, C. L. Isted. George Kanoff, J. A. Lighthill, George Aitken, William Foss, E. H. Young. Boyd Simmons, M. A. Cun ning, James Short, Howard Mayfield, ond F. C. Butler. Judge Allen, said that the court members plan to discuss the pro posed building with C. C. Hockley, regional director for PWA who is planning a trip through Bend on June 30.

' The bill against the county has ac crued since 1926 for fire protection. - Approval of the payment of $201.70 of a $401.70 bill against the county for fire protection for 1938 was pass ed this morning by the court. The remainder of the bill will probably be paid to the forestry board next year. Judge C L. Allen said. Of the $1,100 budget for fire patrol there remains $263.40 out of which the $201.70 will be paid. Payment of $80 to A. J. Connolly for timber sold by Deschutes county to George Carpenter was approved. The county contracted to sell the timber on the Connolly property through an error. Carpenter has al ready paid the $80 to the county for cutting 2000 ponderosa pine ties. Discussion of approving a beer license in Sisters took up a consider able portion of ihe court's time this morning. The court passed a resolu tion that it would not grant new licenses in the county during the remainder of this year. The Sisters permit will be a renewal, however. A beer license was held by Guy Alling hara, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident last month, and his property is to be sold. Lee Eckart and Rotiert Zitek have both applied for the renewal. Action was withheld by the court pending further investi gation. Prohibition of logging operations in the county on legal holidays was .signed by the court in accordance with the state law. The same regula I tions to the transportation of logs, I poles, and piling over county roads ' hold true with the approval of the court as are effective under the pub lic utilities commission.
