Gregory as a candidate tor. mayor were fUlly denied Wednesday by Harry Ray mond, organizer of the Minute Men in the county and delegate to the state council of the organiza tion in Portland. "Tile Minute Men had absolutely nothing to do with the plan to draft Gregory as a candidate lor mayor and will have nothing to do with his candidacy," Raymond told the Capital Journal, He explained that he was making the statement because persons identified with the movement to draft Gregory also are members of the Minute Men and because Gregory is a member of the organization's coun ty council of IS.

Jose phine Anderson ana uertruae Thornton, FIRE DANGERS POINTED OUT BY INSPECTOR City Building Inspector X. C. Bushnell has had under way for the oast several weeks a survey of downtown business, office, and In dustrial plants aimed at enforce ment of safety provsliong of the electrical and fire codes of the city In relation to placement of electrical service meters In these buildings. Although five particularly dan gerous situations have been cor rected as a result of the survey, the inspector said Wednesday a surprising number of violations re main to be corrected In the 60 per oent of buildings inspected so lar. "One of the biggest dangers of ffre fighting In a Urge building, from the standpoint of safety," de clared Bushnell "is that of pouring water onto a live wire with the highly probable result of serious injury and perhaps loss of life from electrical shock, both to firemen and bystanders. ' "Centralization of power leads through one master switch In ft building enables the firemen to make sure that all wires are dead and thus eliminate one of the dangers which constantly confront them. In one of the large buildings there exists as many as seven or eitjht separate power services in widely scattered parts of the build ing. This constitutes a potential hazard to human life that is noth ing short of criminal negligence. Such cases are not going to be tol erated by this office. Building owners wll be responsi ble for the costs making neces sary changes to comply with-the code, said Bushnell, who In addi tion to his duties as building in spector is responsible for enforce ment of the electrical and plumb ing codes as wen. - HARLAN DEMANDS ANOTHER $20,000 Portland (4 Kenneth O.

The one scene which will be used during the play is that of a street scene in a British town in 180$. "Pomander Walk," as the little cluster of 5 houses Is called, from which the play takes its name, has presented unusual problems to test the Ingenuity and skill of the youthful scene designers and stage carpenters.

Peo ple are always passing In and out of the houses and along the little street, and some of the action is observed through the upper win dows of the five brick-cottages. Costumes for the feminine char acters of the play were made by the high school domestic science department under the direction of Mrs. Eula Creech, assisted by the Techne club group. Mrs. Creech appointed one cos turner for each feminine character, and they sketched and studied their parti cular actor and the historical back ground of the play before design ing and creating the wardrobe. Even the hats, shawls, shoes, bags and other accessories have been checked for accuracy In period de sign. - ' Margaret Harvey acted as the eostuirer for Savilla Phelps: Eula Bailey for Velma May. the lead of the play: Margaret Baumgartner lor Kathleen Phelps, Lorraine Kin zer for Blanche Reese, Eva Beck ly for Eleanor Henderson, Jessie Pulcuda for Eleanor Wright, and Gertrude Thornton for Kathleen Fttzpatrlck.
