PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY. MARCH 18, 1930 BUTTER SCORES ADVANCE; EGGS REMAIN STEADY Portland, (LP) Advance of 2c in too score and lc In underscore butter on the produce exchange for the late season was a belated recognition of the acute shortage the local trade has known, at least lor many years. The advance of 2c in top score and lo In lower graae also indicated. Just as forecast in these reports, that there was not the slightest excuse for th pre vious rise in undergrade while top scores were unchanged. The advance of 2c pound In the buying price of butterfat immedia tely followed the rise In cube but ter as well as prints. Trading volume in the egg mar ket is reported as very good. De tpite the recent suggestion of the Pox River Interests at Statu? that the trade should go slow, buyers are taking everything in sight. . Demand for live poultry contin ues very good. Receipts are showing little, if any Improvement. The call is Increasing. Sales are being made generally at full prices. This Includes turkeys. Recent cutting of the price of live hogs has resulted in a furtlier showing of easiness in the mar ket for country killed h03S. Gen eral trading is nat above 15 to 15'i pound, the latter being an extreme for a few selections. Generally steady conditions arc shown in the market lor country killed calves along the wholesale way. Bulk of tops are movins out at 10 to 19'ac pound with a few at 20c. Lambs are in good demand for oualltv. few of them arriving. Considerable excitement Is again shown in the market for oranges cn account of the scrt holdings end adverse weather conditions in the south. Further advances arc noted there with a 25: rise here for the dav. Much activiiy Is shown in the market for potatoes In a local way. Home offerings are scant and arc oulckly nicked up. Yakima sup plies are being held at lull prices. Dedmond report a tun sieaay can for tile famed Deschutes stock. While the local territory is Just starting to offer its outdoor grown stuff, the market for hothouse rhubarb is reported strong at re cent advances In the price. De mand in fact exceeds supply. v A llrm tone is shown In aspara gus on account of light arrlvab due to stormy weather In Califor nia. Head lettuce arrivals are also small because of heavy rain fall in California and Arizona. Cheese market Is fairly active at the late decline. Troll salmon in good. demand at 82 to 33c pound. Some llngcod of fering at 6c. Halibut is In good supply at 18c for medium and 10c for chicken and large.

SENATE CLASHES ON CENSORSHIP BILL (Continued from pane 1) Senator Cutting offered the Utah an a copy of "Pornography and Obscenity," by D. H. Lawrence, and said: "I commend this to the senator from Utah. It might fill some of the hours he previously used in reading 'Lady Chatterly's Lover'." Jumping to his feet in a rage Smoot asserted he had not spent 10 minutes reading the book. "I would not think of reading anything the senator suggested nfter hearing his speech today," Smoot added. A copy of "Lady Chatterly's Lover." at this Juncture reposed in the hands of Senator Copeland, drmocrat. New York, who sat near Smoot reading extracts from it. Pointng to the book the lanky Utahan shouted: "No man would write a book like that unless his soul was fo black it would be a shining light in hell." Smoot told Cutting if he would read the "Bible Altogether" he would not make the speech he was delivering. "That's just the point," Cutting replied, adding that If one read it in its entirety they found nothing wrong, but if certain extracts were read some objection might be found. Wheeler said there were certain essays of Brlgham Young which might be banned as Inciting to stir up rebellion, yet the country lived through them. "I'm not worried about the sen ator from New Mexico, or the sen ator from Montana reading these books, put in Smoot. "but what about the boys and girls?" Wheeler said he had not read a line of any of the exhibits until yesterday when Smoot thowed him an extract. Charges of intolerance were lev eled at Smoot as Wheeler Joined cutt Ing In insistence that the Mormon ehurc'.i "above all others should maintain tolerance. Smoot met the barrage with a story of the "p-rsccuUon" that DTCcrdfd writing or Mormon lead ers. He pleaded for consideration of such persons as "my father and mother," who, he said, were "driv en from their homes' by persecu tion. Wheeler mnd Cutting pressed that the law Smoot wai endorsing, if It hrd been on the books at the time the church was young would "have sent your own forebears to prison for ten years or flvo years.' cutting produced numoer 01 popular maxaslne and asserted that he considered them "far more Indecent In every way" than the book which Smoot had brought into the chamber. Producing another book, he gild 100 ACRES OF PIE CHERRIES BEING PLANTED Successful growinz and constant demand for Montmorency cherries over a period of years in this sec tion has resulted In new plantings this spring which it is estimated win virtually double- the acreage this year with the new trees expected to oc in oearin? wunm five years. The acreage last year was estimated at 100 acres in this rectlon and the new plantings will Increase It to 200 teres. The tonnage on the present bear ing acreage estimated at 300 tons with a full crop has all been con tracted for at a 6i cent basis with Hunt Brothers, Oregon Packing company, Starr, and Reld Murdoch all taking varying amounts. One of the big new acreages Is 18 acres beinj sent out by Frank Brown In the Dallas section. He has successfully grown the sour cherrie? for a number of years and there has never been a time when the crop for the valley was not taken up. The pie cherries are used large ly by bakeries, pic factories, restau rants and similar institutions and canneries clean up on their product every year without difficulty, It Is stated. In fact ths demand has been growing so there is every reason to feel that the double acreage which comes in bcarin in a few years will be readily snapped up by that time. Advent of the Reid, Murdoch com pany here has also had a bearing on the increased planting as It is expected that company's demand for the sour cherry wiji grow constant ly. Quite a bit of the new planting is immediately around Salem while Dallas has a good share of it. GREEN FRUIT UPPERS HERE Young & Wells, green fruit ship pers, will again operate in the Sa lem district during the coming sea son and are opening offices at the Terminal Ice & Storage plant, it was announced Tuesday. Tneir first operations here will be in cherries, and with favorable crop conditions they expect to ship up ward 3a cars out of Salem, of which amount about 150 tons has already been contracted. They have set no definite price, but an nounce that they will pay the mar ket quotation. Later In the summer they plan to take a hand in the prune deal on a new basis. The prunes will be pur chased In the heighth of the har vest season and pre-cooled and stored here for shipment to eastern markets when the peak of the sup ply there -has passed. The company's apple deal here for 1929 was completed with the ship ment of the last carload la&t Satur day. COMPLETE SURVEY OF NIAGARA ROAD County Engineer Swart went up Into the Gates-Niagara section Tuesday and with the state highway engineer who has been making the re -location survey 01 the Gates Niagara highway go over the drain age system on the proposed location. This will involve some careful en gineering work in cutting ditches properly and outlining a system of drainage which will stand up against the heavy flow of water which often comes down from the high hills through which the new road wlil wind. It is understood that the survey by the highway commission is vir- ually completed as far as field work is concerned and the Tuesday con ference is one of the finishing touches. The survey was made by the state at the request of the coun ty court Walla Walla. Wash. (AV-Organi zation of a regional potato commit tee to coordinate marketing and other activities of the Industry in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington and other adjacent states, was approved nt a meet ing of the northwest potato growers and dealers here. It contained the "condensed in- dency of English authors and was In the congressional library." When Cutting had finished with the book Senator Couzens, republi can, Michigan, reached for It and started reading amid laughter from the senators and the galleries. 1 Pointing to Couzens the New Mexico senator said: I There is nothing indecent about this book except what may be in- decent In the classics." 1 Leaping to his feet. Senator Smoot arserted that "There can't be words put together more vile and rotten than are In these books." He referred to ths collection he had ass?mbled. If the senator will come around some time I will read him some excerpts." Cutting replied. "There is no more comparison be tween these books and Shakespeare than then? is between heaven and hell, Smoot retorted. Couzens Interrupted to suggest that Smoot "explain the diference between heaven and hell. Cutting quoted at length from an article by William Neilson, president of Smith coiletfe, which said the duty of a customs official waa to "collect revenue and prevent smug' ullng. but not to pass on the value of Voltaire." "The savin? c a man's soul. which is presumed to b? the object of a censorship." Dr. NolUon was quoted as caytn?, " aftrr all a man's own affair, end Is not to bi achieved by external com pulsion." Cutting said that Neilson, be in 3 president of a young woman's col lege, naturally would be Interested In guarding the morals of young womanhood. Cutting said that censorship at porta of entry only served to in crease the demand fur bock that nave beta barred. Contracts Offered For 10 Years for Red Raspberries Virtually the establishment of a new' fruit industry with Salem a3 the center is the interesting development go ing on with red raspberries in the Salem territory under the guidance ol Reid, Murdoch & Com pany which Is making contracts for large acreages on 'a 10 year basis. Great care Is bemz used by the company In putting over this pro ject to make it as nearly sound as possible in keeping the growers in terested and giving them a chance for a continuous return on the red raspberry investment. In the first instance tne com pany, it is understood, has rejected number of applicants ior con tracts who desired to set out red raspberries as the type of soil they had to offer was not up to the standard set by the company. Before a contract is entered into the soil on which the red raspber ries arc to be grown is very care fully examined by a soil expert of the company. The soil must be a candy loam, preferably adjacent to a creek or some Irrigating facilities so these may be used during a dry season if necessary and the soil of such a constituency as to develop a large, rich berry such as is required for the company's purposes. But the company is also taking into consideration the growers condition In the soil requirements as th long 10 year term contracts give a con tact of quite a duration between the grower and the company and the company for its own protec tion wishes the grower satisfied. In other words the company i3 not . only desirous of securing quality red raspberries but wants the grower in a position where he can furnish them and without the right kind of soil and facilites there might be many years during the term when the requirements could not be met and the grower passibly flinch under the contract.

ANTI-M'NARY FIGHT NEAR COLLAFSE (Continued from page 1) few days a flurry among valley and coast lumbermen against McNary on the strength of reports that he was, to say the least. Indifferent to the picas of the lumber indus try for a protective tariff, one prominent leader in the Oregon lumber industry with offices in Portland said that there is a grow ing feeling among the timbermen that they have been "duped'' and misled. "Investigation of charges against Senator McNary brought back from Washington by certain persons connected with the timber lobby. and the failure of those accusers to specify wherein the senator has been negligent in his efforts to se cure a tariff on lumber, shingles and logs, has convinced most of the fair-minded men In the industry that someone is trying to use them for political purposes," was the statement of this particular leader in the industry, who declined to al low use of his name on the ground that he did not desire to be dragged into a political squabble. - From other and unprejudiced sources the lumbermen are learning that Senator McNary and Senator Shelwer have done everything pos sible to secure the desired tariff duty, except to dine and entertain and make a fuss over some of the lobbyists. They have also learned that if 8cnator McNary absented himself during any vote on lumber tariff schedules it was only when he was 'paired' with an opposition senator." As actual information on McNary's real attitude in the matter becomes known to the lumbermen their ar dor is appreciably cooled toward the opposition propaganda, and es pecially when the subject of a $40. 000 fund for a campaign, which could hardly be successful, is broached. In the Willamette val ley not 50 per cent of the lumber men are Interested In the agitation, It Is said. Monday evening the Reedspoit chamber of commerce put another serious crimp in the antl-McNary movement when It voted to forward to the senator a telegram assuring him that the "citizens of Recdsport and the lower Umpqua country are 100 per cent behind him lor tne nomination, regardless of party af filiations." and expressing gratitude for his "efforts In behalf of this section of the state in the Improve ment of our harbor and Industrie thereon, of which lumbering is one of ths greatest.' Like assurances of support are being sent to McNary from other lumbering communities. Friends of the senator were Tues day pointing with significance to the tact that tne oregonian, wnicn "dlscovfred"the lumber opposition to McNary In competition with all of the other newspapers ol tne siate. now has "scooped" the reporters of all other papers with the news that the stockmen of the state are all riled up In opposition to McNary and would like to ree Arthur M. Geary. Portland freight rate expert, run against him for the nomination. Abandonment or the "lumoer- men's" tight on McNaiy is aiateo to become official with the predicted! refirnl of Frank; M.

BROAD BUYING MOVE SWEEPS STOCK MARKET New York iJF) In the broadest and most active stock market session of the year Tuesday, prices of leading issues were marked up 1 to 10 points. More than fifty stocks, including General Motors, Radio, Eastman Kodak, Goodyear Rubber and most of the oils, moved to new high lev els for the year. Blocks of 5000 to 20.000 shares changed hands at ra ther frequent, intervals, with the tape at times runniiis nearly half an hour behind the market. Easing credit conditions and a growing be lief that a turn for the. better in business is close' at hand wore the principal factors in the day's ad vance. However, a number of indi vidual Issues were bought on merger, higher dividend and stock dividend prospects.

Some of the earlier indus trial leaders gave ground under pro fit taking. The closing tone was strong. Total sales approximated 4,200,000 shares. New York (LP) Many of the oils moved into new high ground for the year in the morning, but later qui eted down and prices fell off from the highs . on Information from Washington that the oil tariff might be defeated. No attention was paid in the early trading to a rise of 45.000 barrels daily in production of crude in the vcek ended March 15. Early in the day tne good news outweighed the bud, but later ad verse factors cropped out. Call mo ney was so easy that these items had little effect. Call money re newed officially at 3'a per cent and later dropped to 3, where it held for the remainder of the day, while loans were made in the outside market as low as 2 per cent. Hupp omitted its stock dividend due at this time, but news that new car registration in February had increased 17 per cent over Jan uary offset this. Cotton and grains moved up as did bonds, the latter being very ac tive. Bank stocks in the over-the- counter market spurted on expecta tion of favorable ai-rouncement on the Chase Equitable -interstate trust merger Tuesday. EVIDENCE OF FRAUD IN DOHENY TRIAL (Continued from page 1) plained, "without being accused of trying to cover up as nothing in this case was pending." "The civil cases were pending end you knew it didn't you?1 Rob erts shot back. "Yes." replied the witness. Roberts then asked Doheny if he did not know the civil court had held the leases to have been se cured by fraud and had returned the leases to the government. Doheny hesitated and answered: "And I know why he tthe civil judge) did it." The millionaire operator did not seem to realize he had made it pos sible for the government to get be fore the Jury the civil decision in the oil lease, but his counsel ire queutly Interrupted Roberts. The government has been prevented- heretofore getting this evidence before a criminal Jury due to ob jections that it had nothing to do with the criminal charges. Doheny. broke down and wept in testifying how naval officers appeal ed to his patriotism to get him to bid on an oil storage contract ana he was temporarily excused from the stand. The 73 year old defendant broke down as he reached a point which concerned his son, Edward I. Do heny, Jr.. who was killed by his sec retary about a year ago. Doheny said Rear Admiral J. K. Robison urged him to bid for the Pearl Har bor, Hawaii, oil storage contract be cause of the menace that a certain power mhtht be to the United States in Pacific waters. Doheny added that Robison's graphic picture of what might hap pen as the result of an attack by the power "nearly made me cry." "Did Robteon use the name of your son in his arguments?" asked Hog an. "Yes. replied Doheny in a chok ed voice. Asked to tell what was said, the oil man began to sob. He left the stand for a few minutes but con tinued his testimony in a firm voice when he returned.

WHEAT RALLIES AFTER SELLING LOWER EARLY Chicago (LP) Aggressive buying by locals and commission houses firmed wheat up in the latter part of the trading on the board of trade Tuesday alter a setback Just before noon, enabling the market to close higher. Lack of pressure was the main factor but the ex tremely strong corn market was a good influence. Weather was fav-: orable though the snow and rain! was light in parts of Kansas where :ood soaking rains are needed, con-1 ditions surrounding- corn arc very encouraging and there was an active short covering and commission house support. Oats advanced with corn. At the clC33 wheat was U to 1 cent higher, corn was to 1' cents higher and oats was 1k to cent higher. " Provisions were higher. Chicago () With rain and snow- general throughout the domestic whiter wheat belt, wheat prices turned downward Tuesday after some up turns at Uie start. Ini- tion transient gains were aseribed to' reports of p-cspe: "e reduction of spring wheat acreage both in the United States and Canada. Op ening unchanged to cent higher, wheat figures receded afterward to below Monday's finish. Corn, oats and provisions displayed strength. L With heavy acreages of grey oats, some vetch, some field peas and some spring grain being planted in dications are now with a continua tion of the fair weather that the hay and grain crop3 which were much below average planting when winter set in because of a dry fall, will reach nearly normal propor tions, states Floyd White of D. A. White and Sons. "While the grey oats to a large extent are being put in for hay to take the place of oats and vetch which couldn't be planted last fall, it is likely with a favorable season many of the.se will be thrashed,'' he stated. "The vetch planting is pretty well over as It is getting fair ly late for it now but field peas are still going in with the oats and it is surprising what a heavy run there has been on these seeds since the weather has dried out the ground to a point where farming is possible. Virtually all the land in this sec tion is now workable and with no immediate prospect of rain in sight there will be considerable mxe planting. "The run cn early seed potatoes has been marvellous, perhaps the heaviest for a long time. That is particularly so for backyard plant ings. Spuds have been so high more people than ever are making small plantings for their own use to tide them over this summer until the new crop comes in. There has been some acreages put out but the heaviest demands we have found have been in small lots for the back yard patches and it has kefj us going to keep a supply of seed po tatoes on hand. The price has been high because of a dearth of potatoes with seed running from $2.65 to $5 a sack retail, according to the varieties. It 1 surprising how many seed potatoes of the more ex pensive varieties have been moving to the backyards. "I believe this will be an excep tional garden year as there has been a surprisingly strong run on garden seeds. The Ideal weather condi tions have put the soil in shape and stirred the gardening fever in veins of home owners. It has been a busy spring along these lines," UNEMPLOYED CONDITION BAD (Continued from page 1) trance, awaiting word from their chief Inside, a typical group such as may be seen in the bread lines and at the 25 cents "flop houses' in big cities. The Capitol police did not molest them. Most of the group were negroes. "For three months in our lartre cities," Wagner told the committee imide, "our bread lines have stretch ed for blocks and our lodging houses have been crowded. In some com munities barges have been fixed up to enable the unemployed to sleep. There are many, many men without means and without anything to eat. The New York senator, once a room-mate of Alfred E. Smith in their Albany legislative days, used a recent photograph of Calvin Cool idve at a Los Angeles "feast" in il lustration of conditions. He first offered a photograph from a Jewish language newspaper showing the bread line at "Lady Bountiful s Eating House" on the Bowerv. The line stretched for two blocks. Then he held up for the com mittee's view a newspaper showing former President Coohdre "at a feast, there to celebrate prosperitv." : The pictures were taken about the same time.

Nursery 240 N. Liberty the type of pictures painted by citi zens of prosperity by proclamation. "Some persona say we are bringing out ugly things when we talk about unemployed. They say you ruin prosperity by talking about condi tions as they are. I want to tell you that you will never remove the ugly things until they are brought out into the light of day. There must be a crisis of some kind which supplies the Imagination of the people in order to get a remedy. Wagner spoke in favor of three bills he has introduced. One calls for setting up a bureau of unem ployment in the department of labor statistics to gather correct and time ly, information concerning unem ployment conditions. The second authorizes $4,000,000 to create a co operative federal employment bureau and the third authorities $150,000,000 for promotion of a long time sys tem of public works to guarantee steady employment in government building operation. How told Chairman Johnson he represented the international unem ployment conference which has drawn here about 350 representa tives of the unemployed from all parts of the country, including many well-known "hoboes,' who prefer, however, to be designated "migratory workers." When How reported to his men that they could not appear Tuesday, they all sat around on the grass in the warm spring sun. Police per mitted them to do what they pleas ed. Wagner did not estimate the num ber of unemployed but said the pur chasing power of the - workers ap parently had fallen off $200,000,000 between September and January, last. He said the labor department reports for a week last September showed the payroll of one-third of the factories of the country amount ed to $98,035,000 while a week in January showed $82,000,000, a drop of more than $16,000,000. For all the factories therefore he estimated It would mean a diminution of $200,- 000,000 in payrolls. Warner explained he accepted the prediction of President Hoover that employment would be better in sixty days because conditions of February always improve in May because of increased activity. He said, however, this was only a seasonal improve ment and would not work any bene fit to the existing situation in the final analysis. Wafer's statement and bills were endorsed by Professor Benja min M. Squires, University of Chica go, chairman of the employment in surance fund of the men's clothing industry or Chicago. "Our greatest weakness In the sit uation today is the lack of an index of unemployment," he said. "The re sults of the census this year should give us accurate figures but I en dorse the in st v.agner bill because it is necessary to have accurate fig ures from time to time." The preposition made to indus tries last fall had one weakness. It was in the nature of a long time program that industry could not put into .effect because it was not advisable to expand at that time. In my opinion the present situation could have been met if we have available an emergency fund such as proposed in tho third Wagner bill. This emergency has existed for several montlis and is still present in the states with which I am fa miliar. There are si7ns of takLig up some of the slock in some localities but in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia where I have made personal investigations unemploy ment is still acute. "There are no accurate statistics and I would hesitate to hazard a statement of existing conditions. There are no figures on Chicago ior instance, except the ratio of a re plicants for Jobs. This shows there are five applicants for each Job, but I do not consider these figures ac curate in fixing the amount of un employment. Reports of the council of social atencies indicate we in Chicago are suit laced with an acute Droblem. There is actual distress, more acute than at any time within the last 10 years. I do not desire to sav what brought this situation about, because then I would get into theoretical discussion. In my opinion it is pri marily because of the lack of balance between production and cDnsumn tlon."
