Trotskv's condition was becom

Pulse Rising
Trotsky's pulse had risen to 140
brats a minute, a rise of 10 beats
in an hour. His temperature also
was up a degree and one-tenth.
His pulse was rising steadily, a
certain sign of the fast ebbing of
his strength. He was breathing
heavily and with difficulty. His
chances of survival wrre placed at
one in ten.
Ttu assailant, a trusted friend
who had been given the freedom
of the villa, was known as Frank
Jackson, an American, and was
said to have an American wife.

Willamette Road
Traffic Counted
Some Diversion Noted
By Checkers
Out of a total of 915 cars count
ed yesterday from 8 a. m. until 6
p. m. at the Junction of the Wil
lamette highway with The Dalles
California highway, south of
Crescent, approximately half
used the new trans-mountain
road.
Such was the announcement
made today by Ceorge Ludowitz,
member of the Bend chamber of
commerce tourist promotion com
mittee, and Joseph Mack, local
camp ground operator, who apent
the day In making the junction
traffic check, first compiled since
the completion of the Willamette
route.
The data will be turned over to
the chamber of commerce for de
tailed study and Interpretation.
Ludowitz has indicated that the
diversion of travel over the new
road was much heavier than an
ticipated, but it is also pointed
out that all traffic now using the
Willamette cannot be considered
as a loss to The Dalles-California
towns north of the lunction. For
instance, it is pointed out that the
212 southbound cars that came
over the Willamette yesterday
might be at least partly consid
ered west side travel that would
have continued on south through
Medford if the new route had not
been built.
Ludowitz. however, fears that

Portland, over the Bend and Eu
gene routes. Eight out of ten
northbound motorists, with the
exception of local travel, stop at

and read this information on the
highway direction sign:
Portland 215 miles (via Eu
gene!. Portland 254 miles (via Bend).
The vast majority of the north
bound motorists who stopped yes
terday used the W illamette high
way, Ludowitz and Mack report
ed. The two enumerators from
Rend also said that the highway
sign contains the information
that Crescent is "110 miles north
of the Junction." The real dis
tance, they point out, is 10 miles.
Ludowitz said there was nn evi
dence that vandals had altered
the flguge "10" to read "110":
Ludowitz' suggestion is that
every effort be made to secure
the early completion of the
Warmsprings highway. When
that shortcut Is completed, the
mileage difference over the east
and west side routes will be elim
inated, he explained.

County to Have
Food Stamp Plan
Welfare Commission to
Hear Details
Extension of the federal gov
ernment's food stamp plan to in
clude 6.000 persons in Deschutes
and 12 other central and eastern
Oregon counties was announced
last night in Portland by Robert J.
Graves, regional director of the
plan. Persons eligible for the
stamps will be benefitted to the
extent of $150,000 a year. It is esti
mated. Details of the stamp plan in this
county are to be worked out to
night at a meeting of members of
the county welfare commission
with Elmer Goudy, state adminis
trator for the welfare commission,
and John Whitelaw, district super
visor, according to W. C Coyner,
chairman of the county welfare
commission.
Coyner had no statement to
make concerning the plan as it
will affect Deschutes country at
this time, but said that the county
court will have to vote on the ac
ceptance or rejection of the plan
here.
County Judge C. L. Allen intro
duced a resolution before the
county welfare commission last
spring, asking the state commis
sion that benefits of the food
stamp plan be given Deschutes
county. The petition was adopted
by the county commission at that
time.
Under the food stamp plan,
which is to begin operation Octo
ber 1, all persons certified by the
state welfare department as eligi
ble to purchase food stamps may
do so.
There are two types of stamps,
both issued in 25-cent denomina
tions, and enclosed together In
books. Orange colored stamps are
good for the purchase of foods for
human consumption normally
bought at a retail food store. The
blue colored free food stamps are
good only for the purchase of
foods which have been designated
as surplus by the secretary of ag
riculture. The participant is required to
purchase an established amount of
orange colored stamps per person
per month. Kor each dollar spent
in orange colored stamps, the par
ticipant receives 50 cents in blue
stamps without charge.
The food stamps are issued in
books with values from $2 to $10.
Included in the same book will
be half again as many free blue
surplus food stamps. The head of
the family may purchase by mail
books for his whole family.
Counties affected, In addition to
Deschutes, are Crook, Gilliam,
Grant, Harney, Hood River, Jef
ferson, Lake, Morrow, Sherman,
Wasco, and Wheeler.
Greeks Find Torpedo

Athens, Greece, Aug. 21 U"i
Naval experts today examined a
fragment of the torpedo which
sank the Greek warship Helle in
the itgean sea last Thursday.
They said that stamped on the
fragment were the words "Turin
1930."
(Turin Is an Italian naval base
and arsenal.)
Meanwhile, the Greek govern
ment had requested wrecking tugs
to lay anti-submarine and anti
minelayer nets in the principal
harbors of the country.

Tension Between Three
Countries Nearinjf
Danger Point
Athens, Aug. 21 HW Italian mo
bile divisions today were concen
trating on the Albania - Greek
frontier, reliable reports said, and
it was apparent here that Halo
Greek tension was increasing.
Reliable reports said that an
Italian plane had made a forced
landing at Eleuis, 15 miles west of
Athens and site of Greece's largest
munitions plant. The crew of five
was interned, bringing to 27 the
number of Italian airmen interned
in Greece.
A military spokesman said that
Greek defenses on the Albanian
frontier were adequate and there
were no Indications that any
Greek mobilization was imminent,
but it was learned reliably that
Premier John Metaxas had con
ferred with the general staff yes
terday following a discussion with-
King George 11.
Observers said that tension was
greater than at any time since
last week's sinking of the Greek
mine laying cruiser Helle by an
unidentified submarine off the
island of Tinos.
Metaxas Says Greeks Ready
Metaxas was said to have told
the general staff that Greece de
sider to continue a policy of neu
trality but was prepared to oppose '
any internal political opposition. -
(In Rome Virglno Gayda, writ
ing in the authoritative Giornale
d'ltalia, said that "there is an
acute open problem in relations -between
Italy, Albania and
Greece." He addded that "Italy is
ready to defend Albanian national
rights!" Gayda also said that the
Creek Ciamuria peninsula is Al
banian and "rightly belongs" to
Albania.
i Of the Italo - Albanian - Greek
situation Gayda said that "we
won't liquidate the affair with a
gay smile. Italian policy does not '
seek adventure but is ready to de-.
fend Albanian national rights and
a Balkan order based on justice. I
Troops Moved
Reliable reports said that in ad
dition to concentrating mobile
forces on the Albanian frontier.
Italy was moving Albanian troops
southward from northern Albania.
Metaxas, it was said, had or
dered precautions against fifth,
columnists and was ready to use
the resources of the entire nation
in defense of Greek independence.
Amidst tension over reports o' .
frontier troop movements it was
announced that a commercial mis
sion headed by the manager of the
Bank of Greece was scheduled to
proceed to Berlin next week.
Russian air attaches conferred
with members of the Greek gen
eral staff today and the meeting
served to attract attention to in
adequate Greek aerial defenses,
especially lack of airports.
