a, mistrial.
Coroner Amos Williams postpon

Wells Grills Intolerance
As Rebellion of Clumsy
Lout 'gainst Civilization
London, Sept. 21 (fP) H. G. Wells, British writer, ad
dressing 1,000 persons today at a Grosvenor house luncheon
party celebrating his 67th birthday, bitterly attacked the
Hitler regime In oermany and cnt-
lclzed conditions in Italy and Rus
ala.
"Just now in many regions of the
world there Is an epidemic of in
tolerance which takes ugly and nov
el forms," he said.
Turning to the situation In Oer
many, he said:
"The German affair Is not a po
grom. The Jews make the most
noise, but It is not only the Jews
who suffer.
"To me it seems more than any
thing else a rebellion of the clumsy
lout against civilization. It is the
clumsy lout's revolution against
thought, against sanity and agifcst

"Hie figures indicate conditions

real information divorced from
'ballyhoo' we have had. This is not
'ballyhoo' but facts, gathered by
statisticians of the department.
This Is also the first authentic in
dication we have had that the NRA
codes and the president's agreement

in the July 15-August 15 period
while the average hours worked per

GOTHAM FACES
TRANSIT STRIKE
New York, Sept. 21 (JP) Strikes
involving about 100,000 workers
were in progress in New York City
today and a Wlkout or transit em
ployes appeared a possibility.
The American Federation of La
bor, through its affiliate in the
street transportation industry, pre
pared to seek a showndown between
A. P. of L. unionization of 30,000
workers and the company union
policy maintained at present.
Patrick J. Shea, official of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway employes and
motor coach operators, announced
his union had organized men on
subway, elevated, surface and bus
lines.
He said his union would file a
request with the NRA asking a ple
biscite to determine whether the
men preferred company unions or
the A. F. of L. union. He said fail
ure of the companies to abide by
the result and recognize the union
chosen would bring strikes.
A strike of 6,000 house wreckers
over difficulties of code negotia
tions in Washinlgton threatened to
day. Among strikes still in progress
were one involving 25,000 under
wear workers and another involving
15,000 painters and paperhangcrs.

Resolutions Protesting
Refusal To Double Multnomah County
Share of Public Works Money Also Sent to
Ickes and President Eoosevelt
By HARRYN. CRAIN
" Making good on implied threats uttered at last Satur
day's highway commission meeting by spokesmen for Mult
nomah county's demand for a reallocation of Oregon's share
of federal public works road money to double that county's
apportionment of work, Portland's city-county committee of
unemployment renei organizations
has carried Its appeal to Governor
Meier, president Roosevelt and Sec
retary Ickes, it Is announced In
press dispatches from the metropo
lis today.
On the grounds of the percentage
of the state's unemployed residing
in Portland and that Multnomah
county was discriminated against
in the original allocation of the
federal road money the committee
demanded 60 per cent of one-half
of the $6,100,000 allotted to Oregon
highways be spent on projects in
Portland and Multnomah county.
The requested reallocation would
deprive upstate counties of $1,000,

LAW OBSTACLE
T0PWA ACTION
Eugene, Sept, 21 (JP) Oregon laws
of 1933 making it unlawful to repay
debts from tax receipts stand in the
way of the public' works program for
this state, and must be amended or
repealed, it was declared here today
by Dr. James H. Gilbert of the Uni
versity of Oregon and a member of
the state advisory board of the em
ergency public works administration.
The acts referred to by Dr. Gil
bert are found In chapters 297 end
309 relating to use of funds from the
reconstruction finance corporation,
both of which contain this provi
sion: "None of the moneys borrowed
under the provisions of this act shall
be repaid from funds raised by tax
ation, nor shall any project con
structed with such moneys be liqui
dated with such funds."
Dr. Gilbert has just returned from
a regional conference held early
this week in Salt Lake City, and
from a tour that included several
conferences on public works projects.
The need facing the state must be
considered by the coming special
session of the state legislature if this
state is to benefit from the public
works program, Dean Gilbert said.
Slowness of applicants in putting
applications into final form as well
as legal difficulties such as that in
Oregon, are hindering the program,
the university dean pointed out. All
possible speed is urged in clearing
the way for approval of projects as
a means of alleviating unemploy
ment difficulties.

STARR RESIGNS
BOARO POSITION
A terse statement of resignation
as a member of the board of higher
education was made in the letter
from C. L. Starr to Governor Julius
L. Meier, received here today.
The letter from Starr, who was
chairman of the board, read:
"In response to your request of
the 18th inst, I herewith tender my
resignation as a member of the
state board of higher education."
Governor Meier requested the
resignation In a letter, to Starr,
whose reply was dated Sept. 20.
Portland, Sept. 21 (JP) In com
pliance with the request of Gover
nor Julius L. Meier, C. L. Starr late
yesterday resigned from the. state
board of higher education of which
he was chairman.
The resignation was contained in
a letter to the governor, the con
tents of which he did not. make
public. It was understood, nowever,
to be merely a formal resignation
with no reference to the charges
the governor had made Monday in
requesting it. There was no indi
cation that Starr might ask for a
public hearing on the governor's
charges.
The letter of resignation was sup
plemented by Starr with a brief
public statement designed as an
answer to the governor's charge
that he was "remiss in his duty as
chairman of the board in falling
to submit to the board of higher
education a special report made by
the auditing department of the sec
retary of state with reference to
Oregon State college, although -he
had full knowledge of the same."
Starr declared that the suspected
irregularities at the college were
disclosed to him in an oral state
ment made to him in confidence in
the office of the secretary of state;
that he asked and obtained per
mission to convey the information
to Chancellor of Higher Education
W. J. Kerr, and merely respected
the confidence imposed in him con
cerning what was not at the time
a public document.
INFLATION WOULD
. KILL NRA, LEWIS
Washington, Sept. 21 (LP) Curren
cy inflation would destroy the NRA,
Senator Lewis, democrat of Illinois,
declared today at the White House.
Lewis did not see President Roo
sevelt. He said he based his assump
tions on a survey made during a
tour of the west and southwest. He
criticized the inflation proposals of
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma and
Senator Smith of South Carolina.
"The result of such a program,"
he said, "would be that our money
would lose its present standard of
value and so depress business and
repress expenditures by those who
have money that it would destroy all
the fine work done under the NRA
and set back undertakings now afoot
In revival of business."
BRUCE GRATIFIED
AT LUMBER CODE
Washington, Sept. 21 (P) Satis
faction was expressed today by C.
Arthur Bruce, executive director of
the lumber code authority, with the
way the diverse lumber industry Is
operating under the NRA.
"The lumber code has been in op
eration, In part at least, for a
month," Bruce said, "and that per
iod would naturally be the hardest
one the one in which while adapta
tion was going on, the most objec
tions, fault findings and practical
obstacles would be encountered.
Much to our surprise and delight,
there have been scarcely any cases
of non -cooperation with which to
deal, and few complaints Involving
basic principles,
"One explanation, perhaps, is that
the forest products industries had
long been thinking along reorgan
ization lines that corresponded
closely to the objectives of the in
dustrial recovery act."

Portland, Sept. 21 WJDeclaring
that he will rely on "the best friend
Columbia river development has at
the national capital President
Roosevelt," Senator Charles L. Mc-
Nary left Portland last night to
fight for a high dam at Bonneville.
Original plans, approved by the
United States army engineers,
called for a 72-foot dam at Bonne
ville to cost $44,000,000. After the
plans for this project reached the
secretary of interior they were mod
ified to call for a 30-foot structure
to cost no more than $15,000,000.
In the first plans provision was
made for vastly improving naviga
tion on the river, and for genera
tion of tremendous hydro-electric
power, under the revised terms,
dam advocates ay, power develop
ment is forgotten and the improve
ment of navigation would be nomi
nal, compared with the other pro
ject. Senator McNary decided on the
Washington, D. C, trip when word
reached Portland that the admin
istration was seriously considering
the smaller dam. He said last night
he has "strong hope of getting
some results." "I shall insist on the
project we discussed originally," the
senator said as he explained that
he had talked over the power dam
project with President Roosevelt.
"That included both navigation and
power. I shall certainly oppose any
project that does not even make
effective provision for navigation on
tne river,"

THREAT STRIKE
Des Moines, Ia Sept. 21 (JP) A
threat of a farm strike, coupled
with a demand for the "immediate
resignation" of Secretary of Agri
culture Henry A. Wallace, was
heard as members of the Iowa
Farmers union met in annual con
vention. '
The threat was voiced by the or
ganization's state president, Glenn
B. Miller, who told the convention
in his annual address last night
that unless currency inflation and
other methods of farm relief are
forthcoming soon, there would be a
farm strike that would "overshadow
anything ever seen in this country."
Petitions demanding Secretary
Wallaces resignation were circulat
ed and Miller, both in his annual
report and address as president as

state and federal administrations
and the method of crop and live
stock reduction now being used un

act.
"Henry Wallace," said the speak
er, "seems to have forgotten every
thing he ever learned or ever said
in this state and he now declares
that surpluses exist. However in
1032 when he appeared before the
cost-finding committee which was
preparing figures on cost of produc
tion he said that there cannot be
an overproduction of food and
clothing as long as there are people
who are freezing or in bread lines."

it was charged today as price regu
lation features of the proposed NRA
code for the retail trades became
the center of debate over price con

Opponents of price fixing declar

NRA officials who prepared the

but not to fix them to any rigid
formula.
Present discussions of prices tend
to include any form of mice regu

'price fixing." In realty there are
significant differences.
Under strict price fixing the
price of each article in the retail
trade would be set by fiat.
In the retail code as it is now
constituted there are no such provisions.
