Byron First American Roads A bulletin issued by the ington on recent explorations in the jungle covered regions of Yucatan, formerly the site of Mayan civiliation, reveals that in addition to cities, temples, and pyramids erected, the -long forgotten Mayas constructed an elaborate system of paved highways to connect the cities and inland lakes they bordered. These- roadbeds, though hidden by jungle, still exist in fair condition. One of these connected Yoxana and Cobe, a distance of 62.5 miles. In width these roads are from 30 to 34 feet ; in height to which they are built up above the surface terrain, they vary from 2 to 8 feet. The ancient engineers began by digging down to hardpan, which is near the surface and erecting re taining walls on either side to the desired height, of large, roughly faced limestone, set in cement mortar. Into the space between the walls, a layer of heavy boulders were care fully laid, and the space between filled with smaller stones, hammered into position. On top of this layer other courses followed, each of suc cessively smaller boulders and stones, carefully placed, until the road had been brought to the required height, whereupon a layer of finely broken rock was added. After this was hammered or rolled into a hard level surface, a final coat of dazzling white mortar cement made of lime and sifted white clay was applied. The modern Indian name for the ancient stone roads of Yucatan is sacbe, which means literally "white road" and they must have been literally great white ways comparable to our own. In the Coba region there are 16 of these raised roads terminating in the ruins about the chain of lakes. Why they were built remains a mystery, for the Mayas had no beasts of burden, nor wheeled vehicles. Evidently they were built for travellers afoot and palanquin and burden bearers. They testify to the advanced civilization of the Mayas for savage man builds no roads the hunter's trail answers all purposes. The highway construction methods of the Mayas of the 4th century were not unlike our own save that ma chinery was unknown. Inflationists Defiant The speech of Secretary Wallace, said to represent the .. administration views on inflation, is regarded by inflation ists as a defiance of their program to which a majority of both houses of congress are committed. The president's plan is to await the outcome of the recovery program already underway before proceeding further in inflation which he holds in reserve as a last resort. The gist of Wallace's pronouncement is that inflation has gone far enough for the time being and that the country must find its immcdiato salvation in increased payrolls and decreased farm production and an expansion of foreign mar kets. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, leader of the inflation bloc declares: Some o us last winter thought a 60 cent dollar would do the trick. We've got it but it is not enough. A 50 cent dollnr may serve the pur pose. We may have to go to 40 cents and should not hesitate to do so. The inflation fight will continue. You may depend on that. Roosevelt seeks a controlled inflation, but if the infla tion plan for a 40 cent dollar doesn't work, there will be noth ing to prevent a 20 cent dollar, then a 10 cent dollar, then a one cent dollar as in Germany and other countries where in flation ran riot only to end in complete collapse. It is to prevent such a debacle that the president is striving. What the inflationists are really after seems to be greenbacks printing press money with an initial issue of $3 billions for public works, then probably $ 2 billions more for soldiers' bonus. Found A Leader In response to the Medford Mail Tribune's call for a real leader to guide Oregon out of the slough of despond and into the vale of prosperity, C. W. Cady of Route 6, Salem, has modestly volunteered for the job, announcing that he "in tends to run for governor this coming election, on the demo cratic ticket." He states : I am of the people, for tho people, and must be elected by the people. I am not running for the honor of the office. I am connected In no way with any political group. If I am elected to the office I will go with no obligation nor promise to fulfill. But I do promise the people a safe, sane and sensible administration. Mr. Cady further promises that within 48 hours after taking the office, the "cost of operating the state of Oregon will be reduced 60 percent or more. Every man in the state who wants work will be given an opportunity at a living wage." Abandoned farms will be "reinhabited". And in running for office, he will spend no money, nor will he fill the state offices with "Old Guards." Mr. Cady is not specific in details miraclo men don't have to be. It's all done by waving a magic wand and the votes of the people. But we are glad to see Marion county come to bat again with a real leader (he says so himself) to save the state Portland has monopolized the salvation busi ness long enough. The moral if there is one is that every emergency de velopes its man of the hour, and that as long as we have s,elf startcrs, we shall not lack saviors and as long as we have the Oregon system, we shall not lack self-starters. And Mr. Cady has the advantage of being first in tho whiz-banging field of political tin Lizzies. Continuation of Wall Street From Page One plied (or admission to the new ex change.

VAN DER LUBBE CRIPPLES CAUSE OF PROSECUTION Leipzig. Germany, Sept. 21 (IrV Marlnus Van der Lubbe, one of five men put on trial before the supreme court today charged with burning the relchstag building, crippled the prosecution strategy by denying from the witness stand that he was a communist. It is the prosecution case that communists burned the building, and Van der Lubbe's co-defendants are known communists. "Are you a communist?" presiding Judge Buenger asked the 24 year old Dutch stonemason. There was a moment of silence, van der Lubbe stared at the floor and then mumbled: "No." "What are you then?" asked the judge. There was another silence, Van der Lubbe muttered inaudlbly. The judge, apparently satisfied, pro ceeded. Nazis claim they have a confes sion from Van der Lubbe. The de fense of the other men is that he is not a communist and that he had been making pro-Nazi statements for two years. They allege Nazis burned the building to discredit communism and seize power. The defendants were already In court when the red robed judges entered and the audience rose and gave a Hitler salute. Van der Lubbe had led the pro cession of prisoners. He was hand cuffed between a policeman and a prison guard, and paid not the slightest attention to his surround ings. Next came Ernst Torgler, 40. for years whip of tho communist party in the relchstag. pale, ho stared straight ahead and bit his lips. me came tne tnree Bulgarians Georg Dimltroff, 51, a writer: Wos- sll Tancff, 38, a shoemaker, and Rlagoi Popoff, 31, a student, all like Torgler known communists and abandoned to their fate by their government. Presiding judge read the charges high treason and arson aaalnst Van der Lubbe and treasonable ac tivities against the others. The de fendants except two Bulgarians acknowledged they understood tho charge, which then was read In Bul garian. (Copyright. 1933. br Paul Million! Washington, Sept. 21 Some extra fancy inside wire pulling is being done by Wall Street to squelch the senate stock market investigation. several of the biggest men In the street arc annoyed about what will come out if the inquiry resumes, as scheduled, in October. It seems that Prosecutor Pecora has struck nay dirt in every sense of the word. The Wall Streeters argue that fur ther persecution of them will cause business disturbances. They think it will Interfere with tho recovery program. They may bo right about that. At least they have convinced four conservative administration officials close to Mr. Roosevelt that they are right. These four are now supposed to be exerting pressure on the President to call his dogs off. The one thing essential to such a maneuver is secrecy. Unfortunately, a certain member of the senate In vestigating committee has heard about the matter. He knows the names of the parties Involved. He has the constitutional immunity ne cessary for calling names out In public and is threatening to do so. one tning deters him. Chairman Fletcher of the investigating com mittee has summoned a meeting for October 3. This meeting is supposed to determine tho policy of the com mittee as to the future of the in quiry. If the committee decides to pur sue the inquiry, nothing will be said. II It calls a halt, fur will (ly. Progress The mere fact that the commltteo Is going to talk policy shows how far the Wall Streeters have been able to get. When the Inquiry recessed several months ago, It announced It would continue October 3, Pecora went to New York to dig up evidence and has spent tho summer at It. Now that he has the evidence, the commltteo is going to meet to de termine whether It should proceed. The truth seems to be that no one except Mr. Roosevelt can kill the In quiry and he will not. Pulling and pressure sometimes work In reverse on him. Further public frying of Wall Streeters may not accomplish any constructive purpose, but It can hardly be stopped half way. The In vestigators have the bear by the tall and cannot let go now. Mr. Roose velt probably will tell the commit- Kill Kidney Acid New Way Thousands of sufferers from poorly functioning Kidneys are winning free dom from Getting Up Nights, Leg Paine, Nervousness, Stiffness, Rheu matic Pains, Burning.

Evidence Advance hint about Mr. Pecora'g new evidence Indicates the last half of the show will be bet ter than the first half, even If J. P. Morgan and the Midget are missing. The star may be a former bank board chairman. It seems that he developed some novel financing me thods through a family corporation he organised for financial drainage purposes. Since his retirement he has been receiving a stupendous an nuity from the bank, much larger than Samuel Insull received when he sought solitude in Greece. Also Richard Whitney, president of the New York Btock Exchange, probably will be recalled. He thought the committee was through with him, but It may want more details about operations of the Exchange. Mr. Morgan may not be disturbed but his associates in Wall Street's largest house will be needed. The question of going into the Morgan books is still hanging fire. Then there is a new list of poli ticians who were favored with bar gain stocks below market prices. It will be a bigger and better list than any of those which have gone be fore. At least this Is the advance no tice which has reached those near the top. Market Some committee mem bers have further big things in mind. They want to make public the books of specialists. That will cause a shudder down the spine of every market man. . A specialist's book is the sanctum sanctorum of the stock market. In it are all the secrets about specific stocks. Publication of them would leave Wall Streeters nothing private ex cept their own souls and the com mittee may take that angle up later. Fame Senator Borah used to be the biggest American name to Eur opeans. Anything he said or did was more important than the actions of the President. His speaches were re ported abroad more fully than they were here. However, times have changed. Recently a news agency received the following cablegram from its European headquarters: "Lay off Borah Interviews. Name carries no weight any more." Probably it is the Roosevelt influ ence. Debts Debts are no longer re garded as an important subject eith er here or abroad. The inner atti tude Is that it is futile to talk about them now. The coming talks with the British representative will be just going through the motions of diplomatic negotiations, with pessimism on both sides. Other nations will hang back to see what the British do. This administration will drop the matter rather than take the 5 to 15 per cent payments which the British are planning to offer. NotesProf. Moley's magazine will advocate a nationalist policy on the debts and other intercational mat ters. It may frequently conflict with the views of State Secretary Hull. However, there will be no direct at tacks on Hull under present plans. Ford people say there has been no decline in their sales since Henry went Into retirement on the N. R. A. Tho explanation of Prof, Rogers that he is in Europe on the N. R. A. fooled no one here. He is working on the commodity dollar. ACREAGE IS RENTED Mt.

Capital Druo Store . H. WILLETT State at Liberty Salem DEPRECIATION ' OF DOLLAR TO BALANCE TRADE Washington, Sept. 21 (IP) The depreciation of the American dollar is expected by the NRA to offset tariff Increases which otherwise would be imposed to bring imports Into fair competition with American goods. Oscar B. Ryder, head of the newly established imports division of NRA, said today that the American Im porter can get only 63 ognts worth for his dollar abroad, and that the value thus lost balances against any likelihood of increased imports. Apparently in anticipation of in evitable increases in prices of goods manufactured under NRA codes, the recovery act itself provided machin ery to prevent foreign products tak ing advantage of that situation In the American market. Gardner L. Harding, secretary of the national foreign trade council, in Washington to confer with NRA officials on matters of United States imports and exports, said his organ ization had formed an importers' committee which divided into two groups dealing with consumers' and producers' goods. The committee proposes to sub mit a blanket code for importers and will work out details before October 1, Harding said. The committee is recommending including In all codes of import pro visions similar to those of the lum ber code by which the code author ity may determine minimum prices for domestic sale, and may petition the president for restriction of im ports if their competition is endan gering operation of the code. Continuation of Warships In Cuba From Page One pal support of the Grau govern ment, completed its answer to the opposition demand that the presi dent withdraw. This answer was to be submitted to Havana Rotarians who are acting as Intermediaries between the director and the op position. Shortly before destroyer No. 240 entered the harbor another Ameri can ship of war, destroyer No. 154, sailed away. Washington, Sept. 21 (ff) Naval vessels hovering off Cuba's shores today were reinforced at trouble zones for the greater protection of any Americans needing armed shel ter. The state department emphasized there was no present intention of landing marines or blue-jackets In Cuba. Instead, Secretary Hull said, Dangerous Fat Gone --50 Pounds In 5 Months She Feels Years Younger "I was very discouraged after hav ing pneumonia which left me with severe arthritis. I read about Kru schen Salts and am now on my 5th Jar. Kave reduced 50 lbs. of fat in 5 months and feci 15 yrs. younger. Ar thritis never bothers me.

But the navy's sudden orders speeding four destroyers from the Guantanamo base in Cuba, to var ious troubled spots were interpreted by observers as indicating a serious situation on the Island. Some Amer icans were known to be moving within the gun range of their coun try's warships. Consular advices meanwhile re ported communist demonstrations, mob violence and spreading strikes cast ,of Havana. Hull disclosed also that in the interior, some Americans were virtually prisoners. The shitted navy cordon put two vessels off Antllla, two more off Santiago and an equal number near tne Isle of Pines. Only two destroy ers remained in Guantanamo bay where eight were a few days ago.
