NORBLAD AIDE
TALKS TO LIONS
Irl McSherry, who became pri
vate secretary to Governor Norblad
March 15. made his "maiden
(speech' in his new official capa
cay Friday noon wnen he appeared
before the Lions club when Gover
nor Norblad- found it impossible to
attend. .
Human Interest In connection
with office details and the mail
was commented upon by McSherry,
who has found himself busy receiv
ing visitors at the executive offices
where "open house" is always held.
There were 60 visitors Thursday,
Including delegations and groups,
with many of the high school peo
ple here for the state basketball
tournament given the opportunity
to greet Governor Norblad and sit
in the governor's chair. Board and
commission meetings demand much
time, he said, and it is necessary
to work late at night to dispose of
routine business which accumu
lates during the day.
Development of the Oregon ter
ritory since 1843 when too emi
grants set out for the northwest
from Missouri to the present time
was briefly sketched by McSherry,
who closed his talk with a plea for
an united effort to advertise Ore
gon and develop its resources.
VEHRS BARRED BY
SALEM HOSPITAL
(Continued from page 1)
he could not practice in the hos
pital after Monday. Dr. Vchrs
says he told the superintendent
that he would decline to take cog
nizance of such an order until he
had been formally notified by the
board. On Monday Dr. Vehrs re
ceived the following letter by reg
istered mall:
'Confirmatory of our conversa
tion of yesterday, Sunday, March
16th, the following motion was
made and passed at a meeting on
Friday. March 14th, of the Execu
tive Committee of the Board of
Trustees, that: (Superintendent,
Miss Wahlstrom, be authorized to
notify Dr. George R. Vchrs that his
presence is no longer desired in the
Salem General hospital and that
no more patients will be admitted
the case, or as assistant or consult-
ant in any case, and that as soon
as the two patients now under his
care in the hospital are discharged
no professional visits by him to pa
tients In the hospital will be per
mitted.) "Respectfully submitted,
"Salem General Hospital,
"Sign V. Wahlstrom, B.N.,
"Superintendent."
The order came to Dr. Vehrs, he
declares, like a bolt out of a clear
sky and without so much as an in
timation of trouble. His Investiga
tion of the order disclosed, he states,
that It was made by the three mem
bers of tiie executive committee
upon their own responsibility with
the possible approval of the execu
tive committee of the staff of doc
tors, which is admitted by the com
mittee members, and without the
approval of tlie board of trustees.
Contending that Dr. vehrs is en
titled to an open statement of the
specific charges against him and a
full opportunity to defend himself
against any and all such charges
his attorney has written the chair
man of the board requesting "that
formal charges be preferred and
that an early trial be had. If the
charges are presented to us by to
morrow noon (says the letter dated
March 18 we will be prepared to
go before the board tomorrow eve
ning are try out whatever cMargc
might be made.
The doctor should be reinstated
until the matter is heard and de
termined. At a meeting of the board of
directors Wednesday night when
the matter came up of backing the
executive board In Its action, no
final vote wan taken as five of
the board members declined to vote
until a competent legal opinion
was secured as to whether such ac
tion would subtect the Salem hos
pital to an action for damages.
Board members stated that while
under the bylaws of the hospital
a physician could be denied use of
the hospital for himself and his
patients "for the good of the In
sMtution without any specific
charges, the question was raised as
to whether tltere might not bei
seme conflict between the by-laws
and the civil laws of the state
w h ich wou Id g I ve an opening to
an action for damages.
"Salem hospital is having a hard
enough time to get along as It Is" '
said one of the board, "without j
subjecting It to the wMlblllty of a
suit which might cost It thousands I
of dollars which ever way It went."
As a result it was dctded to!
submit the question to a competent j
legal authority and the meeting
stood adjourned until such opinion1
waa ready. The matter a sub-
ui..ted by telegraph throush H. S
oile, president ot the board to th:
American College of Surgeons in
Chicago and their reply is belnj
awaited. . . v
At Wednesday night's meeting
some of the board members indi
cated they were slightly resentful of
tiie executive committee's action in
taking snap action by immediate de
mand that Dr. Vehrs cease all con
nections with the hospital without
filing any specific charges or giving
htm a hearing, but this was met by
otner ooard members who pointed
to the by-law provision that such
action might be taken for-"the goot
of the institution."
It is stated that one of the un
derlying causes of the present dif
ficulty came up over s year ago
when 12 nurses at the hospital
threatened to go on a strike unless
some changes were made in the ad
ministration at the hospital. The
nurses at that time took their cause
of complaint to Dr. Vehrs, submit
ted it to him and asked him to
submit It to the board, which he de
clined to c"o. However, he did relay
the information to" a member of
the board who is reported to have
told him to send the charges in and
they would be sifted to the bottom.
He sent the charges by messenger.
After the nurses' matter had come
before the board and been threshed
out Dr. Vehrs was then called onto
the carpet and an Investigation had.
which resulted In his remaining on
the hospital staff. At another time,
is stated, cnarges were made be
fore the board that Dr. Vehrs had
taken up with the labor commis
sioner a complaint of a nurse to the
effect that she had been required
to work too long hours. Another
hearing, it was stated, was had on
uus matter at wmch some strong
expressions were passed but he still
remained on the staff after this
hearing.
Another incident said to have
caused ill feeling on the part of the
aa ministration at tne hospital oc
curred not long ago when Dr. Vehrs
took an amateur moving picture ko.
dak to the hospital and in an at
tempt to secure a motion picture of
a sinus operation caused a fuse to
blow out and some of the lights
were blown out. Some words arose
between Dr. Vehrs and the super
intendent at the time as to who
should pay for the lights and this is
said to have further engendered ill
feeling. However, no member of the
board would make any specific
charges and such Incidents were
cited, aa well as allegations that he
had been a disturbing factor among
nurses.

PROSECUTOR TO
TRY FISH POACHERS
At the request of Governor Nor
blad, Attorney General Van Winkle
nai appointed Chester McCartv of
Portland as special prosecutor to
nanaie alleged Illegal fishing cases
growing out of the activity of fish
ermen on Rogue river in Curry
county. The demand for a special
prosecutor came from the state
game commission and from the
sportsmen. It Is said that author
ities In Curry county have been un
able to get any case to trial.
Tne trouble is said to have been
brought to a head by the recent
selrure by the Curry county sheriff
of a quantity of salmon that was
being cured by local game officials

officials had previously taken the
salmon from the alleged illegal
iiancrmen.

LliMUENOF,
NORTHWEST SAY
TARIFF TO HELP
Portland WV Prominent Pacific
coast lumbermen In this section
predicted a general quickening ot
the pulse of the lumber Industry
in the northwest, the reopening of
many mills closed because ot over
production and re-employment of
hundreds of men in mills through
out the state as the result of the
united States senate in adopting
the 81.50 per thousand feet tariff
on soft woods.
Although the tariff does not be
come a law until the house and
President Hoover approves It. the
measure, which was passed by a
margin ot one vote, indicated a
trend toward protection ot the Pa
cific northwest's greatest Industry,
lumbermen said.
The tariff passed the senaLe aft
er a heated lengthy fight In which
Senator Charles L. McNary, re
publican, Ore., and all other north
west congressmen snllt a coalition
of democrats and republican inde
pendents and rode through to a
victory with the one vote to the
good.
John Tennant, president of the
west coast Lumber Manufacturers
association and vice-president of
the Long-Bell Lumber company at
Longview, expressed his belief that
the tariff law would bring much
benefit to this section.
a He said that American lumber
men, could not compete on a more
favorable basis with British Co
lumbia and Russia, where lower
wage scales and lower water trans
portation have prevailed.

This total for the month compar
ed with 1379.9B1.531.78 for the cor
responding period a year ago. The
increase over 1929 collections to date
still was attributable to the enor
mous sum reported on March 18 as
a result of overtime work by col
lectors all over the country, immedi

ceipts for March 19, 1929, which ex

mate of $550,000,000 for Income tax
collections for the first quarter near
ly would be realized.

with the slaying of Arnold Roth
stein. New York gambler, were

motor.
It was Moran, the police said,
who engineered the $305,500 rob
bery of Mrs. Hugo C. P. Bchoell
kopf in 1933. The gangster estab
lished relations with Rothstein sev
eral years later. Brex said, and was
