HEWITT TELLS
KIWANIS ABOUT
SOUTH AMERICA
Poll tics tn South America arc
not organized on the basis of prin
ciple as In the United States; graft
is common and government oy oue-
elghth of the masses corrupt with
tho "outs seeking to oust m "mr
but In a majority of instances lack
ing the necessary leadership, Dean
Roy Hewitt, speaking of his ob
servances on his recent trip through
that couutry, told tlie Kiwanls club
Tuesday noon. He Is of tlie opin
ion tliat debts In the United States
will not be repudiated as the neces
sity for credit O .understood by
those In charge or seeking to be
In charge of affairs.
Until the United States can un
derstand and apply the psychology
of trade with foreign countries It
cannot hope to successfully com
pete with nations that recognize
the situation and as a result Ger
many is making great progress to
wards dominating trado la South
America. Dean Hewitt declared. At
the close of the world war the
United States virtually had a mon
opoly on trade with the co"ntry to
the south but Is losing out. Several
causes were ascribed.
The United States manufacturers
refuse to merchandise their goods
as to standards of the nation with
which they trade, and persist In us
ing United States measures and
signs Instead of making the goods
as desired and understood by the
purcliaser, Hewitt said. Another
mistake Is made in refusing to learn
and use the languages most com
monly used there, chiefly Portugese
and Spanish, demanding English be
used or conceding1 French and Ger
man. The third handicap is a high
protective tariff, which Hewitt de
scribed for the United States as a
sectional and not a political issue.
Hope was expressed that some day
a reciprocity tariff aotld be adopt
ed and trade relations strengthened.
Germany caters to the psychology ol
the nation with vaich it trades,
names Its new and great ocean
liners after the naHonal heroes of
those countries and is rapidly gain
ing control of the entire South
American market.
PART OF BULL RUN
LINE ABANDONED
Permission to abandon th IS mile
stretch of the Bull Run lnterurban

Tuesday. The order was issued by
the public service commission, and
also grants permission to discon
tinue pasenger operations over the

miles. The commission held there

to Justify continuation of this ser
vice. The Investigation Instituted by the
commission on its own motion Into
hotel telephone rates and sen-ice
outside of Portland was dismissed,
when the commission learned the
rate question was determined satis
factorily through agreement reached
at a conference In Portland last

PLAN RETENTION
OF FOOTBALL RULES
New York fli Retention with
out change of the present football
rules was recommended to the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic associa
tion Tuesday In tlie annual report
of E. K. Hall, chairman of the foot
ball rules committee.
Tlie hall report said that the
period ''of real changes" Is "for the
time being at an end."
"The rules should be standard
ized substantially as they are," tlie
report said, "and future changes
should be restricted to those which
make for greater safety to the
players, better sportsmanship or
further Improvement of the text,
and to changes that seem clearly to
be necessary to maintain the bal
ance and the Integrity of the game
substantially as It stands today." j
The report came as a surprise to
many football critics who had pre
dicted a recommendation of the
abolishment of the point -after-touchdown
and several other rule
changes.

MALTA FEVER
PROVES FATAL
The first death from malta fever
ever recorded In Marlon county
occurred Monday at Stayton when
Kay r. newby, 36, died after a
month's Illness from the disease.
This case of malta fever Is the first
reported to the county department
of health this year. One case was
reported In 1929, and a flurry of
eight cases occurred In 1&28, but
no deaths resulted.
The disease, caused by Infectious
abortion among cattle, was traced
to an Infected herd delivering milk
in Stayton and all infected cows
have been disposed of. No other
cases have been found In the stay
ton vicinity. It Is pointed out by
Dr. Vernon A. Douglas, county
health officer, that all reported
cases of Malta fever have been In
tho rural districts.
Newby Is survived by his widow,
Helen, daughter of Mis. O. S.
Eowne of Salem; his parents, Mr,
and Mrs. A. L. Newby of Bradshaw,
Texas; one brother, George, and
four sisters, Olive, Sally Lou, Ma
bel and Annls, all of Texas. Newby
came to Oregon In 1924. and lived
at Salem until nine montlis ago
when he and Mrs. Newby moved to
Stayton. He was employed by the
Shell Oil company.
Funeral services will be held

MAY NOT APPFAL
rJERGER ORDER
Youngstown, O. OP) Doubt that
tlie Youngstown Sheet and Tube
company will appeal the decision
of common pleas Judge David C.
Jenkins overthrowing the billion
dollar Sheet and Tube-Betlilehem
Steel corporation merger, was ex
pressed In some quarters Tuesday.
While leaders of the pro-merger
faction maintained silence on their
next move In the conflict with the
Cyrus S. Eaton forces, It was known
that many of the merger backers
regarded the judge's decision as a
questionable victory for Eaton, dom
inant Sheet and Tube stockholder,
because of ctock value losses he
sustains as a result of winning an
injunction to block the consolida
tion.
The court's decision automatically
dismissed suits filed by laton and
his associates, during their anti
merger fight, asking the court to
place a valuation on shares dis
senting In the consolidation. The
corporation code provides that if a
shareholder refuses tlie valuation
fixed by his company's directors he
can sue and have a court fix the
value.
Last April 30, when Eaton's antl
merger fight was at Its height,
Sheet and Tube directors fixed $110
as the "fair cash value" of dissent
ing shares, a figure which was
promptly refused by Eaton and his
associates.
A series of suits filed by the dis
sen ting stockholders, demanding
prices ranging from $1B0 to $250
per share, the prices paid for stock
when the rival factions were bidding
for them in open market during a
fight to obtain enough proxies to
overthrow or ratify the merger. The
suits had been set for bearing on
January 12.
A decline In the market value of
the stock enters prominently into
the complexity of issues arising
from Judge Jenkins' decision. The
stock Is now quotea nt $70 a share,
or $40 less than the fltmre refused
In April by Eaton and hs asso
ciates.
TRUCK BEDS GUT
TO 3 YARD BASIS
Orders have been issued by Coun
ty Road master Johnson that all pn
vate truck owners who expect to
rent their trucks to tlie county for
road use next year and who have
4-yard beds on their trucks, must
cut them down to a 3-yard basis if
they wish to bo granted such em
ploymen.t
All county-owned trucks have 3
yard beds for handling of gravel.
The county court believes that tlie
smaller sized bed with its smaller
load is a considerable protection to
tho roads and that the three-yard
load Is tlie largest that should be
hauled. Roadmaster Johnson states
it is almost Impossible for a crush
erman to get an accurate 3-yard
load into a 4-yard truckbed and as
a result truckbeds, he states, must
be made uniform to meet the re
quirements. He states during the
summer season from 15 to 20 trucks
are rented for use by the county In
road work.

30,000 AUTOS
VISIT CHAMPOEG
DURING YEAR
Over 30.000 automobiles visited
Champoeg park In this county dur
ing th year 1930, according to a
letter received by County Commis
sioner Smith from Albert Toiler,
caretaker at the park. He states that
up to November 1, there had been
28.806 cars and while he has not
counted November and December
there were over 1000 cars during
November and 567 during December.
In addition he states that there
were 781 came by steamboat, S3 by
rowboat, 42 by launches, 36 by teams
and 34 on horseback, with 82 by bi
cycle, 41 by motorcycle, and 711 on
foot. Placing the number of cart at
30,000 with an average of four to
the car he states, over 120,000 people
visited the park in 1930.
"The road leading from the main
highway to the pioneer memorial
building has been kept in excellent
condition and not a solitary acci
dent has occurred," he writes. "Your
Mr. Cook and men under hira have
given attention to bettering condi
tions In order that thousands may
travel in comfort and safety. There
Is a general wish for a short cut
highway between Salem and Port
land and thousands have so express
ed themselves this year. All antic
ipate a bridge between Oregon City
and Newberg. It must come If the
other fellow will construct the same."
He also expressed his thanks to
the county court for cooperation
given on the roads. He stated that
both big road signs at tho end of
the bridge In Newberg are gone.
REAR IN JETTY
OF COLUMBIA
Astoria, Ore. (IP) Increased size of
a break or depression in the south
Jetty of the Columbia river Is be
coming a menace to depth of water
in the river entrance, declare local
shipping men and entrance pilots
who have been watching the situ
ation carefully for the past year
and a half.
Recent soundings have shown a
distinct shoaling In areas at the
river mouth and the lighthouse de
partment about a month ago shifted
some of the entrance buoys about
1,000 feet northward, pilots say.
Soundings taken Saturday by the
master of the pilot schooner Co
lumbia showed only 36 feet of water
at the intersection of Sand Island
and Cape Disappointment channel
ranges, where charts show 50 to 60
feet of water.
According to Frank Sweet, As
toria harbormaster and member of
the state pilot commission, the deep
ening of the south Jetty's depres
sion permits several types of chan
nel disturbances, since the cutting
or scouring power of the river
water, which deepened the channel
from Its original 25 foot depth to
40 to 60 feet as at present, Is much
diminished.

1QRAH FAVORS
EXTRA SESSION
FOR CONGRESS
Washington rlPV Insurgent re
publicans extended their dispute
Tuesday to th advisability of a
special session of congress aitar
March 4.
But Just around the congestion
al comer is a potentially more dy
namic Issue than all that have gone
beore. it 1 prohibition, upon
which the Wlckersham commission
now Is scheduled to report public
ly January 6, the day after con
great reconvenes.
Senator Borah, republican. Ida
ho, was annoyed by the suggestion
of Watson and Senator Reed, re
publics n, Pennsylvania, that a
special session would be bad for
business.
"Tills talk about congress dis
turbing business or that a session
of congress would be an unmixed
evil Is an effort to assign a patri
otic excuse for going to Europe or
going horjie," he said. "It Is
strange thing that we have been
fighting to get Into congress and
telling the people all the things
they want to do, and then making
every excuse possible to go homo
and do nothing. I suggest they
turn their salaries over to the
hungry until they get back."
Borah said there was much le
gislative work to be done and that
much of It probably would not be
disposed of In this abort session.
He wants consideration of railroad
legislation, farm relief, the antl
lnj unction bill, and regulation of
Interstate bus and power traffic.
Administration plans for the
present short session do not Include
all those Items. There are Indica
tions the house leaders still oppose
the N orris plan for government
operation of the Muscle Shoals
power and fertilizer plant. And Mr.
Hoover would be expected to veto
such a plan If It reached him. Sen
ate and house conierees will meet
again January 6.
Under those circumstances Sen
ator Norrls, republic?. Nebraska,
whose feud with Executive Direc
tor Lucas of the republican nation
al committee merely Is quiescent.
may be expected to side with Borah
for a special session.

Hall of Kansas City" who intro
duced him to a "Mr. Sloan," who

sed huge winnings on the races.
EUton, at their behest, rushed
home to Caldwell, secured the $23,
500 which he had on deposit there,
and delivered It to HaU, who was to
hand It over to Sloan In Reno,
Ner. Then the bets would be col
lected and Elson was to have his
