since Rufe discarded his toupee some

some personal predictions in that

out and out nudist when the
toupee came off. We expect if he

West Salem long enough the rest
will follow as a matter of course.'
Rufe also backs a move for SO
miles of roses along the Pacific

nudist cult we suggest he change
his slogan to fifty miles of fig trees.
Anyway, Rufe. these foggy days
are a safe time for practice, if you

PRICE OFFERED

World Price Exceeds
That Offered by U. S.
Holding Drop of Dollar to
A More Gradual Basis
Seems Policy
Washington, Nov. 10 (LP) For the
first time since the government in
augurated its new gold purchase
policy, it failed today to post a price
higher than the world open market
quotation In London.
The price offered today by the re
construction finance corporation for
newly mined domestic gold was
$33.20 per ounce, an increase of
only five, cents above yesterday's
price.
Because of continued weakness in
the dollar, today's London . gold
price, figured at the early high ex
change rate of $5.15 to the pound,
was $33.39 per ounce.
At this rate the London price was
19 cents higher than the domestic
price and precluded the possibility
of this government acquiring any
foreign gold at today's prices.
Failure to keep the domestic
price higher than the world quota
tion apparently indicated that the
government was easing up, for the
time being at least, in the dollar
depreciation campaign through
which it aims to Increase general
price levels.

KIDNAPERS ASK
$40,000 RANSOM
San Jose. Cal., Nov. 10 (JPi An
anonymous telephone caller who de
manded payment of $40,000 "if you
want to see your boy alive again,'
started federal, state and local or

San Jose's wealthiest merchants,
Young Hart, a recent graduate of
the University of Santa Clara who
had Just been made a partner of his
father, left his department store
shortly after S o'clock yesterday to
go to a nearby parking lot and drive
to nis parents' nome.
His failure to arrive at home on
schedule aroused the uneasiness of
his family, who said he had been
the intended victim of what appear
ed to have been a kidnaping attempt
about three weeks previously. At
that time, the family said, three
men in a large automobile tried to
crowd Hart's car from a highway
but he eluded them.
About ten o'clock last night the
Hart home was called by telephone,
police said, and a voice demanded
payment of $40,000 "If you want to
see your son alive again."
Officers said the caller hung up
without giving directions as to how
he would collect the money, if of
fered. The call was traced to a pub
lic telephone booth in a large San
Francisco hotel.
Early today young Hart's car was
found ten miles north of here, the

LABOR AGAINST
SALOON ABUSES
Washington, Nov. 20 (fl) Labor's
William Green sees a need for after-
repeal laws that will bar the old
time saloon and keep imbibers from
buying more than they can afford,
or more than they can drink with
out getting drunk.
The president of the American
Federation of Labor does not, how
ever, fear any "moral breakdown"
among workers with the return of
splritous beverages. He does expect
a "very great many" to be scratched
from unemployment rolls when the
liquor industry gets under way
again.
"Our experience during the days
of the open saloon," he said today,
"ought to serve us well now. We
ought to apply these lessons we
have learned so that the abuses
that grow out of the sale of intoxi
cating liquor can be controlled.
"The laws and ordinances ought
to be severe, and then the power to
enforce them created arid that pow
er exercised without fear or favor,
free from political influence."
One argument In favor of prohibi
tion has been that workingmen too
often spent a large share of their
wages In saloons Instead of for ne
cessities of life. The labor federa
tion president proposed" to require
liquor vendors not to sell to anyone
more than he could drink without
drunkenness or more than his fi
nancial condition warranted.
