From pleadings and a sheaf of af fidavits filed, one of the principal points of contention seems to be the custody of a minor child which each party Is seeking. The case nearly came to a continuance when the court was ready to start and it developed that under an order that the plaintiff pay $25 suit money and $25 attorney's fees, that only the suit money had been paid. The plaintiff said the other was not available right now. It was fin ally decided to go ahead and take testimony as witnesses were present and the court had made a special trip to hear the case. Each party is claiming cruel and inhuman treat ment against the other.

L Forest Grove, Ore., Aug. 21 (P) Blown into new life by a strong easterly wind, a forest fire which last week swept through timber holdings in the Wilson river district. was being battled by a crew of GOO men today. Rains and heavy fog on the coast checked the fire materially Thurs day and Friday, and forestry offi cials said it was definitely under control. Late yesterday, however, a strong win blew up and fanned a tangent of the Wilson river fire into new fury. The flames turned north from Reeher's Retreat and entered Scroggins valley, burning in Blod gett company timber holdings. The Gales creek fire in tne same general area was definitely con trolled and most of the mill-hands in that district were back at work today, although a small force of ci vilian conservation camp members continued to patrol the lines. Sever al hundred C.C.C. men are on the Wilson river fire lines. During the morning hours today the fire reached alarming proport ions. It was feeding on some of the state's iinest timber and was driven by a high wind among the tall trees where fighters could do little to cope with it. The fire front covered an area of 14 miles from the original start in the glenwood district, with a 10-mile front north and south. The loss was running into hun dreds of thousands of dollars as each hours saw great damage being done to saw timber ripe for the logger's ax. Previous large fires have been confined largely to logged-over land where damage was largely to build ings, bridges and logging equipment. Tom Stevenson, lookout on Saddle mountain near the Washington- Tillamook county line, which had been south of the main fire area, was driven from his post this morn ing. He telephoned before leaving that the forest about the mountain was blaizing in all directions he said he must hurry to get out before the fire cut him off. SEEK CONTRIBUTIONS FOR CHARITY WORK A committee representing the As sociated Charities waited on Coun ty Judge Siegmund this afternoon to discuss with him the matter of a drive for funds for that organiza tion and also if .the county could be expected to contribute. The judge stated that the matter of contribu tion from the county would be one for the whole court to consider but that the court had not made such contributions in the past to char- mble organizations and that county funds were getting rather limited. The Judge told the committee that as far as relief work is con cerned under government funds, he expected an entire new setup would be made in the near future. Under the new public works committee he said he understood that an entirely new registration of unemployed would be taken soon in making preparation for employment under whatever form of wokr might be allowed to Salem within provisions of the public works federal funds. The committee and judge were agreed that if a project like the water system proposal is granted by the government and work started soon enough it would virtually set tle the relief matter here for the time being. RAPID PROGRESS ON SANTIAM ROAD J. P. Bewley, road patrolman In the Detroit district who was in the city today, stated that the contrac tors on the graveling or the iirst 10 miles of the Norm santiam highway have been putting a four inch cushion of rock on the grade of the highway and Is now rolling it and the road is In splendid condi tion for travel on that section. On the contract for grading the next section of the highway he states he understands the grading will be Iln ished early In September. Bewley says that on the narrow roads into Detroit where two-foot cuts were mode of Jutting corners this vear traffic accidents on the narrow highway have been reduced to a minimum and as far as he has heard there have been no accidents on that roadway this summer save now and then a bent or broken ren der. He savs the same Is true on the Breitenbush road and that the cutbacks made in corners is in his opinion principally responsioie ior the Improved conaition. ci.ath Falls. Ore..

The hits were divided 14 to a side, two of them being for the circuit one by the big Roberts of Schapps and the other by the fleet footed Pemberton of the Senators. Manning, shifted back to his old position at first base after a num ber of weeks in the outfield, turned in a clean, defensive game in addi tion to hitting three for five. He shared hitting honors with Johnny Oravec, who also connected safely three times, two of them being dou bles. Mason, filling in at short in the absence of Carl Wood, after mis judging a fly in the first inning, went through the balance of the game like a professional, handling five hard chances without a mishap. The scoring spree of the two clubs started early in the game, the vis itors tallying once in the first frame while the Senators came back with three. The home guard added three more in the third, thanks to Pem bcrton's home run while one addi tional tally was scored in the fourth and sixth. After scoring two in the third. Johnny Beck held Schapps hitless during the fourth fifth and sixth. Then in the seventh three singles and a triple brought in three more. And when Schapps scored again in the eighth on a triple and a wild pitch it looked like the Senators were in for another beating. "Squeak' Wilson took the mound to start the ninth. Repp, the first man up. hit for two bases but was caught at third when he overran the sack on Roberts' single. Roberts contin ued to second on the play. Pioufi filed out to center field. Worthley, who had been hitting the ball hard all afternoon, was walked and then Wilson ended the game by striking out Kohl. The Senators will play the Color ed House of David team next Thurs day evening on Olinger field at 5:15. MILLERS SEEK SAFEGUARDING Portland, Aug. 21 (fP) Flour mil lers of the Pacific northwest today urged that their interests be safe guarded in any plan the government adopts i or the subsidized export oi wheat from the north Pacific coast. A committee representing the Pacific Northwest Millers' associa tion asked at today's hearing by the federal agricultural adjustment as sociation, that flour as well as wheat be included in any plan under which exports made at prices below the American level will be built up to that level by cash bene fit payments derived from the pro cessing tax on wheat. The meeting nere toaay was tne first step by the government in preparing a program of subsidized exportation through which it Is hoped a wheat surplus in the north west of around 40,000,000 bushels can be removed.

JUNIOR CLUB TOPEKA BOUND Pocatello, Idaho, Aug. 21 (JP) A jubilant group of Oregon American Legion Junior baseball players from Woodburn every one with a fight ing heart as large as a watermelon were preparing today for their trip to Topeka, Kan., where they will play for the western intcrsec tional championship Aug. 25-27. Champions of Oregon, the Wood burn boys scored two runs in the ninth Inning of the northwest titu lar game against the Pocatello Am erican Legion nine Saturday to tie the count, and in a spectacular ex hibition of baseball went on to score another tally in the 15th frame to win 4 to 3 and capture the Pacific orthwest title. In the serai-finals they had won from Walla Walla, 8 to 2. Pete Bevans, Woodburn hurler, took a large share of the credit by pitching the entire game and fan ning 23 Pocatello batters while Bat tleson hit a terrific drive for a home run to score a runner ahead in the ninth and then singled in the win ning counter.

There are indications that the ordinance to restore the old scale of salaries, proposed by Alderman Hendricks and handed over to the ways and means committ3e for Its approval, will stir up some discus sion. Already some of the alder men have declared themselves as opposed to the move, even in the face of mounting living costs, until the budget has been made up for next year. The ordinance proposed to fix the salaries as follows: City recorder and purchasing agent, $2400 a year; chief of police and motion picture censor, $2400; chief of fire department, $2400; city attorney, $2400; city engineer, $2400; building inspector, $2400; po lice matron, $1200; police sergeant, $1800; police patrolmen, $1500; as sistant fire chief, $1980; fire depart ment captains, $1800: fire depart ment mechanic, $1980; firemen of more than four years' experience, $1620; firemen of less than low years experience, $1500. No definite plan for placing city employes under the NRA, which would materially increase the num ber of fire and police officers, has been proposed. WRECKAGE DOTS JERSEY COAST Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 21 (P) Heavy combers which suddenly pounded the Jersey coast from Long Beach to Cape May wasned asnore today wreckage from a dozen or. more small craft swamped late yes terday by a freak storm that claim ed seven known victims. Capsized skiff, previously unac counted for, carried ashore at Ocean City this morning, gave rise to ap prehensions that its occupants may have been lost. Coast guardsmen be gan checking the license number it carried L-8042 to learn the own er's name. The Gertrude R previously re ported missing, was located at the inlet at Ocean City. Horace Robb, the owner, said he rode out the storm, reaching the Inlet late last night. Only heroic rescue work by coast guardsmen and numerous volunteers prevented a much larger loss of life. A score or more persons cast into the seas by giant waves which sud denly swept over the comparatively calm waters, upsetting their craft, were picked up. Many were found clinging to small bits of wreckage, while others were taken from dis abled boats. It was explained the storm, un accompanied by rain, was a "kick back" from a tropical disturbance. Building activity in Czechoslova kia last year was greater than 1933. a stamp collector, had called them by telephone and tried to sell them foreign stamps.
