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

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

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

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

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.
The company it is understood
furnishes the plants to the grower
at about a third of their cost et
where. Red raspberries have been grown
in this section but never on a peal
commercial basis before to any
large extent.
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

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

an hour behind the market. Easing
credit conditions and a growing be
lief that a turn for the. better in

principal factors in the day's ad

New York (LP) Many of the oils
moved into new high ground for the
year in the morning, but later qui

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

had little effect. Call money re

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.

had increased 17 per cent over Jan

EVIDENCE OF FRAUD

"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

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

The 73 year old defendant broke

Doheny added that Robison's
graphic picture of what might hap

"Did Robteon use the name of
your son in his arguments?" asked
Hog an.
"Yes. replied Doheny in a chok

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,"

may be seen in the bread lines and
at the 25 cents "flop houses' in

"For three months in our lartre
cities," Wagner told the committee
imide, "our bread lines have stretch

munities barges have been fixed up

There are many, many men without

The New York senator, once a

a recent photograph of Calvin Cool

He first offered a photograph

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." WRIGHT IN HOSPITAL
