Our vast following of false toothed
readers who from time to time have
been mentioned In this column will
be interested In assertions made
by Hedda Swart, county engineer,
that he has a false tooth record
unequaled In the county. He de
clares that he cot complete sets of
false teeth when he was 17 years old
and he's so accustomed to them nc
doesn't know he's got them. "There's
no steak too tough for those teeth
to puncture," he declares proudly
In his 42nd year.
There folks. Is a mark to shoot
at. Can Marlon county produce
any Infant prodigies who started
out In life with false teeth any
younger than Hcdda? Trot out your
records. The only accident we ever
heard of Hedda having with his
false teeth was one band concert
night when he blew the lowers out
through the horn he plays In the
band.
Governor Meier stirred things up
at the board of control meeting
today when he declared that here

Rolla could set things right by go

WILD CAT BOB
LOSES APPEAL
Washington U1 Robert Gordon
Duncan, one of radios bad boy
announcers, was Monday denied a
supreme court review of his con
viction on charges of using profane
language In a series of radio attacks
on Portland, Ore, public officials
and editors.
Duncan snoke over station KVEP,
which he referred to himself as the
"Wildcat" In a series of talks ac
cusing those whom he attacked of
personal Irregularities as well as of
graft and political corruption. His
talks were replete with "hells" and
"damns."
A Jury found the announcer guil
ty of violating the radio prohibi
tion against bad language and he
was sentenced to serve six months
In the Multnomah county, Oregon,
tail, and lined $500.
Duncan contended the language
wa not "obscene. Indecent or pro
fane," within the meaning of the
statute. The circuit court ruled It
waa profane, but neither Indecent
nor obscene.
Portand (IP) John A. Jeffrey,
Duncan's attorney, said Monday that
an appeal to the president for a
pardon would be made Immediately.
Duncan was indicted a year ago
this month after he had conducted
a radio campaign against chain
stores and for his candidacy for
congressman In the republican pri
maries.
Switching from his attacks on
chain stores Duncan abused a num
ber of prominent Portland indivld
uals. It was during his abuse of
these Individuals that he used what
the courts determined was profane
language and a violation of the
radio code.

Vatican had directed the editor of

the editors of fascist newspapers had

It was expected in some quarters

FIRE DESTROYS
STATE BARNS
Two large barns, one of them
among the finest dairy bams In the
state, were completely destroyed by
lire at the state hospital farm 4's
miles southeast of Salem Saturday
night, the fire starting about 9 o'
clock. Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, superin
tendent of the hospital, places the
total lass roughly at $25,000, and
thinks it will appraise less than
that. The two barns were built 21
years ago at a cost of $25,000. The
amount of feed-stuff burned, in
cluding 105 tons of hay and about
an equal amount of straw, totals
about $2000.
Dr. Steiner docs not believe the
fire was of Incendiary origin. No
one was about the buildings at that
hour and a night watchman had
made a tour of the buildings at
8:25 o'clock. The fire was first seen
as the flames appeared through the
roof about 9:05 o'clock.
An alarm was immediately tele
phoned into Salem and two city
fire pumpers responded. Though
it was too late to save the build
ings the pumpers kept the flames
from spreading to other buildings.

Tokyo 'TV-A Rengo News agency
dispatch from Samushlro Monday
said Thomas Ash. Jr., had abandon
ed his proposed non-stop flight
across the Pacific and was return

power for 1.850 revolutions per min
ute when at least 1.850 were need

In his decision to abandon the pro
ject. The message also mentioned
a bent left auxiliary wing and said
Ash had found the plane did not
respond properly to the controls.
Prior to the announcement that
he would abandon the flight, Ash
reduced his gasoline supply to 900
gallons. He had originally supplied
the ship with 1.020 galons But twice
reduced the amount
Numerous of Ash's friends hen

COURT UPHOLDS
PRESS FREEDOM
Washington M'j The Minnesota
press suppression law was set aside
Monday by the supreme court.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the Saturday Press of Min
neapolis, which had been suppress
ed under the statute by the lower
courts as malicious, Rcandalous, de
famatory and a public menace.
The constiutionality of the law
was challenged by J. M. Near, one
of Its publishers. He contended the
statute deprived him of the liberty
guaranteed to the press by the fed
eral constitution.
The case attracted widespread at
tention. Numerous influential news
papers commented editorially on
the Minnesota law, regarding it as
an encroachment upon the tradi
tional freedom of the press.
Chief Justice Hughes read the
court's opinion.
"There Is no question that the
publication made serious charges."
Hughes remarked, adding however,
that the statute went farther than
most similar acts.
He noted that in the Near case
there was no proof of falsity of
charges made in the publication be

Any of the olficials at:a kal, he
