MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1933 THE CAPITA I. .IMPKNAI.. SAI.KM. OREOON AS SHOWMAN Cedar Rapids, la., Aug. 21 (IP) The Ire of Mrs. Almee Semple Mc pherson Hutton, famed woman ev angelist, continued to burn today against a description of her as "a good actress and a clever showman." Her immediate retort after an in troduction including that phrase by George Cloassen, president of the Linn County Bar association at a lawyers' dinner, was "I have never had such an introduction before in 26 years as an evangelist and I am cross." CJaassen also referred to her as "the most widely advertised woman evangelist in all history." At a religious gathering later she said: "If it had been me I would have Just curled up and nearly died; but when they attack Christ all the blood of my ancestors for genera tions rises in my veins, and I must stand up and defend my faith." At the religious meetings she Is conducting here, she planned to re peat during the day her assertion that Claasscn had "put Christ under fire" and she was retaliating for that. Claasscn, meantime, stood by his guns and declared he "told the truth." Before calling on her to speak Saturday Claassen whispered, according to Mrs. Hutton: "Don't mind when I introduce you. I un derstand you are a good sport and can defend yourself. In discussing the tilt the evangelist said: "When I began to speaie i com them I had not come expecting to hear that kind of a speech and that I thought it not nice to put the skids under me. 1 told them anything said in the introduction I took with a grain of salt because the man who introduced me doesn't believe in Christ, doesn't pray and believes in science and evolution instead of the Bible. It was almost the most excit ing experience in my life since my college days." "She called me an atheist," said Claasscn, "but I'm not an atheist." Freak Storm, Breaking Suddenly, Takes Lives Of 7 On Jersey Coast Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 21 (P) Six persons were known to have drowned during a terrific northeaster that lashed the Jersey coast yesterday, suddenly tossing compara tively cnlm ku Into a fury and catching scores ot iisning crait on ffuard. Coast guardsmen wrote further rescue history against great odds but feared another half dozen fish ermen aboard the craft Gertrude may have perished. The boat was the only one unreported late this morning of all those known to have been at sea when the storm broke. The wind sent huge combers tum bling against the beach from Ab- THREE POWERS ACT TO PREVENT AUSTRIAN WAR Vienna, Aug. 21 (LP) Great Brit ain, Prance and Italy have agreed to take "certain" military action to S reserve the status quo in Austria either German or Austrian nazis Attempt to forcefully overthrow the government of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, a reliable diplomatic source aid today. The governments, it was said, have decided to Inform Germany In friendly conversations of their decision. In considering the Increasingly lerious diplomatic problem of Aus tria versus Germany. It was assert ed, the three allied powers thought both of the Immediate future and the ultimate solution of Austria's difficulties. To this end, it was said, thev have considered the possibil ity of Danubian economic federa tion. secon to the tip of Cape May. Pour bodies were recovered. Sant, 58, veteran captain; Lou lis Williams 55, Margate, Harry R. Schmidt, 33, Camden and Dr. Char les Mc Arthur, 58, South Orange. Those given up for dead but whose bodies were not recovered, were: Richard "Sophr" Bruncr, 58. Me- mora captain; Wilbur Lukens, Phil adelphia; Harold Lltchen52, Phil adelphia, who summered at Long-port. At least 100 craft many of them carrying amateur fishermen were off this coast yesterday when the storm struck suddenly. With the vi olence almost of a hurricane, but without a drop of rain, it sent gi gantic combers crashing to shore from Absecon inlet almost to Cape May. Boats were overturned and bath ers overwhelmed in the gnashing waves. Only heroic rescue work in which the coast guard took a lead ing part, prevented a much longer death list. A sailing vessel and a speedboat cooperated to save six passengers of the 30-foot sail boat. Ella, In what one witness called "the most heroic net I ever witnessed," but the boat's skipper Theodore Van Sant 58, was drowned. Harry R. Smith of Cam den .lost his life when the Anna M. capsized, but three others With him were rescued by another fishing boat. Ernest Williams, 60, of Vent nor, was the third known to have lost his life, when the Ooldie R. was overturned, but there too was an example of the heroic efforts on the part of rescuers, as five others on the same craft were saved. London, Aug. 21 (LP) Diplomatic circles forecast today that German Austrian tension would reach its climax within 10 days. Several means of supporting Aus tria have been discussed, it Is un derstood, including a proposal for union of Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, with Italy ceding Trieste as a free port. Rome, Aug. 21 (LP) Any agree ment between Great Britain, Prance and Italv rcKarding the preserva tion of the Austrian status against German interference is non-existent and unnecessary, the Italian foreign office declared today. Conversations between Chancellor Dollfuss and Premier Mussolini have demonstrated there Is no such agreement, the department stated. Continuation of Ironsides Flag From I'agc One Bides for three weeks and it was only because the flag was too large for the ship that it was not re tained by the Constitution. He de clared that in the visit of the ship In Oregon waters more than 300,000 people had visited the ship, or about onc-tmrd oi tne sinic s population. The commander further stated that while in Portland one woman had visited the ship 15 times be cause of her patriotic devotion, -which established a record. He lauded the cooperation of Mrs. Root and other members of the Daugh tors of 1812 in making their visit to Oregon a pleawint one. Lieutenant Commander Hartley of the frigate, General J. P.

The coal men will be able to suggest amendments to this trade charter, but they will not be per mitted to renew their wrangling. Conferences are to be held this week, probably Tuesday or Wed nesday, with officials of the auto mobile Industry. Indications were that the open shop and maximum hour Issues raised by the automobile code presented last week will be satisfactorily and speedily settled. Enrollment of steel and oil un der the NRA was regarded by John son as the crux of his task to get the major Industries signed up un der hour-shortening, wage-increasing agreements. With that done he announced plans for launching the campaign, patterned after the Lib erty loan drives, to take the blue eale into every store and home. National figures. Including Alfred E. Smith, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Speaker Henry T. Rainey, will take part. One million, five hun dred thousand volunteer workers already have been organized for this drive, as well as to check up on employers and uncover violations by those who fall to increase wages and odd new help. Codes for fourteen industries have been approved. Including four of the major industries, cotton tcx tles, lumber, oil .and steel. In nd ditlon more than 100 nre operating under temporary nrceements, 17 ap proved yesterday. Within the next 10 days, 21 hearings on permanent codes will be held. Oil leaders today were interest ing themselves in the make-up of the committee of fifteen to be ap pointed within a week by Mr. Roosevelt to administer the new 011 code with its modified price control regulations and provisions for limiting marketing. At the same time, steel officials began the important changes in op erations required of them, one of the first tasks being the prepara tion and filing with the iron and steel institute of a list of prices. WKKK-KND VISITORS Hazel Green Mrs. Edward Hasel bacher has had as her guests the past two weeks, her sister, Mrs. Grace Mattley and daughter Louise of Portlandn. Friday Mrs. Haselba cher's mother. Mrs. Patrick Erick son and son Albert and Al Mattley, all of Portland, joined tlw group and spent the week-end. money with two dollars raised by the state or its municipal districts and the inability of the state to meet this stipulation except through spe- ' cial legislation forms the principal excuse for a special session, there is little expectation that the legislators would agree to restriction of a ses sion to this question alone when there are other important questions demanding attention. Governor Meier has Indicated that he will not even consider convening the lawmakers for consideration of tax legislation for general state pur poses, taking the position that the people in the decisive defeat recent ly handed out to the sales tax pro posal have made it entirely clear that they arc opposed to any and all additional levies. In this the execu tive will probably find most of the legislators agreed: in the two months it took them to devise a snles tax proposal they got their fill of tax problems. But the clamor of their constituents will not permit them to so easily sidestep other pressing questions. Already 35 or more members of the two houses are reported to be In favor of revision of the trunk and bus licensing act, recently declared invalid in part by Circuit Judge Le wclllng, to protect highway revenues and correct inequalities as they op ply to different classes of trucks. The lawmakers are awakening to the fact that they made a mistake when they permitted attorneys for the organized truck lines and the railroads to write the licensing and regulatory act which is just what they did at the last session. Almost the entire act is the result of a suc cession of concessions and compro mises engineered by the truck and railroad lobbyists. Beer and liquor regulation Is an other matter that many of the leg islators are now convinced needs at tention. In anticipation of repeal of the 18th amendment by the first of the year and the prospect of a spe cial session some of the solons ore already at work drafting regulatory legislation to govern hard liquors, while others, convinced of the need for regulation of places dispensing beer outside of cities and towns by the experience of the past three months are preparing proposals along these lines. One suggestion which is to be ad vanced at tomorrow's special session conference is that the state's share of relief funds be raised through im. mediate imposition of a state tax on beer to be provided for in a reg ulatory act. Sponsors of this plan assert that It would solve two prob lems at a single stroke, and assert that there is no other form of tax sufficient to raise relief funds which would bo acceptlble to the public. Financing of ony relief program involving a tax levy or bond issue of any sort would be subject to the referendum, which requires that the adopted program must be popular ns well os practical. The constitu tion forbids the legislature to attach the emergency clause to any tax or bond measure in excess of $50,000. Tax delinquencies are another problem which the legislature could not ignore were it to meet in special session. So serious has the delin quency problem become that many counties have already been forced upon a warrant basis, and some of them face the prospect of being un able to operate after Uie first of the year unless some means of bringing In tax moneys is found. One sugsestion advanced Is that the old penalties on delinquent taxes be restored. Others are proposing that a system of permitting tax pay. ments to be made in monthly in stallments be worked out. If Governor Meier Is willing to have the lawmakers tackle these problems he can probably get a ma jority to agree to thus limit their deliberations at a special session, but hardly otherwise. It is only by agreement of the legislators that their deliberations can be restricted. The governor has no authority to say what, or what not they are to consider. The only limitation upon a special session Is that it shall not endure more than 20 days. STATE GOLF CLUB ISSUES CHALLENGE The golf team of the secretary of state's office, having won one match, Is anxious to add a few more trophies to their list. Monday, C. N.

MOB MUTILATES BODY OF HAVANA CHIEF OF POLICE Havana, Aug. 21 JPh Punishment for leaders of a hate-crazed mob which took from its new grave the body of Gerardo Machado's police chief and burned and mutilated it was demanded today by several de partments of the week-old Cuban government. As the cabinet of Carlos Manuel De Cespedes tried to solve the hard problems of economic peace, there were other evidences of continu ing hatred of the previous regime A manhunt for the few remain ing Machadoists went on; leaders of the opposition who had been forced into exile were coming back, and soldiers and members of the ABC secret society began digging again in Atares castle for bodies of those who died because of oppo sition to the Machado regime. Antonio B. Ainciart, villifled as the director of bloody and repres sive measures under the- deposed president, committed suicide Satur day night while soldiers and ABC men closed in on his hiding place. As soon as soldiers left his place of burial 2,000 shouting persons opened the fresh grave, took the body in a truck to Havana uni versity, mutilated it, and hoisted it to the cross bar on an electric light pol. Thousands watched the mob pom gasoline over it and apply a match. Finally the craw of an ambulance scattered the crowd and took the1 remains to a morgue. "Dump It into the sea!" shouted the mob. "Dump it into the sea! He Is not fit to be buried in a cemetery with other human be ings!' Shortly before the mob began forming Juan Sampol, nephew and body guard of Ainciart, shot and killed himself after being recog nized by a boy on a street corner. First, however, Sampol had killed Jose Aquirre Leon, ABC member. Also fanning popular indignation over the regime against which they rebelled a week, ago was the fun eral yesterday of four men whose remains were .found Friday in a stable at Atares Castle. Tens of thousands attended the impressive ceremony. MAKE MOTOR JAUNT Hazel Green Leonard Rutherford and Leroy VanCleave returned re cently from a three weeks' vacation trip.

DISCUSS PLANS FOR REDUCTION OF WHEAT CROP Portland, Ore., Aug. 21 (flV-Plans for reducing the Pacific northwest's wheat surplus, estimated at near 40,000,000 bushels, through guaran teed benefit payments by the gov ernment for the difference between the export and domestic price on shipments to foreign countries, par ticularly the Orient, were before the agricultural adjustment adminis tration hearing here today. Members of the hearing board here from Washington, D. C, Doug las Mclntyre, Victor E. Anderson and Ray C. Miller, were agreed that a definite plan would be mad at the meeting and the purchasing power of the farmer would be in creased, though they denied any knowledge of what the plan would be, maintaining they had come to Portland to receive a plan. Invited to the meeting today were not only farmers cooperatives and the producers organizations but aU interested, including banners, exporters and steamship lines. At the hearing the first attempt to evolve an export plan for a basic commodity will be made under the agricultural adjustment admin istration. It Is the first major move to insure fulfillmen of the law and similar hearings will be held on other basic commodities. "The object of the whole thing is to restore the farmers' purchas ing power which is fulfilling the provisions of the agricultural ad justment act. By restoring his pur phnslni? nower. we mean that the exportable surplus of wheat will be reduced so mat aomesuc pnceo will bo those of between 1909 and 1914 to the farmer. It means that to him a bushel of wheat will buy as much as it did in those years, that his purchasing power wm do the same now as then," Mr. Mcln tyre explained. ' Pnrncf Wills M V.
