It would reduce the salary of the state purchasing agent, William Elnzlg, another Meier protege, to $3,600 per year. Duties of the budget director would be transferred to the state board of control. Elimination of the budget depart ment would save (6,000, the direc tor's salary, as well as pay of as sistants and clerks.

LONG PROBERS SHY OF FUNDS New Orleans, Nov, 21 (IP) Chair man Tom Connally of the United States senate sub-committee inves tigating the Huey P. Long political regime in Louisiana, announced at resumption of hearings today that the committee's funds were so low it could not complete the scheduled work. There was an original appropria tion of $25,000, but not enough re mains to finish the two weeks hear ings mapped out, the Texas senator said. He added he hoped that con gress would appropriate enough money to take care of the deficit. Reflecting the situation, the com mittee was concerned today over failure of witnesses to respond to summons. It was Indicated that deputy U. S. marshals might be sent to arrest them. Today's first witness was Arthur Cambas, defeated candidate for the board of education on the ticket of Edwin S. Broussard, senatorial can didate who in turn was defeated by Jonn H.

AUTO BUILDERS PLAN TO INVADE AIRCRAFT FIELD (OotmlKht. 1933. by United Preu) Detroit, Nov. 31 (IP) The nation's1 largest Industry that of building automobiles Is read to adopt the robust, Browing Infant of the In dustrial world Aviation. All along the automotive front of giant factories a general movement to take over the business of pro ducing airplanes is spreading with all of the major manufacturers par- ticlpatlng. The movement has been marked by a number of recent de velopments: 1 The Chrysler corporation, through Its subsidiary, the De Soto corporation, has employed Major Alexander P. Severalty, New York aircraft designer and holder of the world's record for amphibian planes, as a consulting engineer. Severalty, it Is known, has perfected plans for the production of small, all metal planes to sell under $1,000. 2 The General Motors corpora tion, controlling a major portion of the automobile Industry, has acquir ed the North American Aviation corporation and through it Is sup ervising a large number or aero nautical holdings. 3 William B.

He said Uie newspaper code was settled except for one point which he declined to reveal, observing there had been "practical agree ment" on everything else. ASKS $31 MILLIONS FOR POWER LINES Bonneville power became a legis lative issue today when Representa tive John Lewis of Multnomah' coun ty introduced a bill proposing a $31,000,000 bond issue to finance state-owned lines to the dam. The measure proposes creation of a state power commission, appointed by the governor, to supervise distri bution of Bonneville electricity. The commission would have authority to fix rates based on cost of service. Bonds should be used as security for a federal loan of $31,000,000, to be obtained on basis of 30 percent grant and 70 percent loan. - The proposal would kill the refer ended grange power bill. It the state failed to obtain the federal loan, the commission could Issus $50,000 bonds to cover preliminary costs and pre pare a statewide development plan lor submission to the voters. LEE TRACY HELD ON MORALS CHARGE Mexico City, Nov. 31 (IB Lee Tracy, American moving picture star, faced arraignment today on charges of violation of public mor als and msuiting tne government, the result of a personal appearance, Informal and undraped, on a hotel balcony.

Allen's proposal offered to pay the city $250 a year. The contract would not bar any person from hauling his own garbage to the incinerator. The proposal was referred to the incinerator committee for report at a later meeting. CLEANING 00T OF OLD DUMP AS RELIEF JOB Cleaning out the old city dump adjacent to and now part of the state fairgrounds property and opening a proper road into the grounds from the south on 18th or 19th streets, is a project advanced before the county relief committee for civic works financing. This is one of a number of improvements sought by Max Gehlhar. director of agriculture and head of tne fair. The city dump was deeded to the state fair several years ago with a plan in view of cleaning it up and making It a vast parking place, with an entrance through on nth street and proper landscaping for the grounds. It has remained one of the worst eyesores of the city. "It is within the corporate limits of the city of Salem and is without doubt the most unsightly piece of property within the city limits and located where it may be viewed by over 100,000 visitors to the state fair," writes Gehlhar to the relief committee in his plea for the im provements at the fair. In addition he asks for other Im provements as follows: Opening and cleaning approximately 1M miles of drainage ditches; spading and put ting into shape over two acres of additional lawn; grubbing out part of oak trees in park; repairing and levelling dirt floors in barns; im proving and repairing sewage and drainage system In fair grounds; repairing exposed wiring in agri cultural building; new wiring In automobile building; shingling sev eral buildings; painting exterior of some buildings, and interior re arrangement of exhibit buildings. The state fair, he states, wlU lurnisn all building materials re quired and every dollar of civic works money will be expended for labor on any or all of these Jobs. MOSES TO DISCUSS COUNTY FINANCES Judge Moses, head of the legis lative committee of the state Coun ty Judges and Commissioners as sociation, was expected in Salem this afternoon to confer with coun ty Commissioner Smith, also a member of the committee, on pro posed legislation In which the coun ties are Interested. In particular Judge Moses has caused to be prepared a complete chart showing the financial situa tion of the counties and the state as to the old age pension law and Its iinancing. It Is expected the legislature will be asked to perfect some method of financing the old age pension law u it is to remain on the statute books. The principal reason the counties have refused to budget the item for old age pension. It is pointed out, Is because the legis lature failed to provide any machin ery or method for paying the pen sions. M'KAY HELPS OLSON WITH FIRE BILL Mayor Douglas McKay came to tne assistance of Aid firm an o. A. Olson last night and made It pos sible for Olson's fire prevention bureau to come before the city council for approval or rejection at a later date. Two weeks ago the ordinance bill was defeated. Olson, however, changed his vote so he could later move for reconsideration, which he did last night. The council vote on reconsideration was a tie, 9 to S. It was up to the mayor to cast the deciding vote, and he voted with Olson. In moving reconsideration Olson Included that the bill be referred back to the fire committee. This was done. SILVERTON FORGER RETURNED TO COUNTY District Attorney W. H. Trlndle and Captain W. H.

Drinking habits cannot be chang ed by law as suggested by the Knox: report which seeks to make this a country of wine and beer drinking. These habits, he said, are national and developed from youth. Tha greatest curse of prohibition was held to be the breeding of disre spect for all law and order in gen eral. The liquor question is a poison ous one, whether contact is by taste, socially or legislatively with two groups seeking to influence the Oregon legislation. One of these. Senator Goss said, Is composed of those personally interested in the retail sale of liquor and the other, described as more sinister, those seeking to control liquor through purchase at its source. While both sides profess to be on the side of law and order they have selfish. motives with the utter working through paid agents. Contact with legislatures in manv states since he was in college haa convinced mm that the conduct of legislators, both inside and outside the legislative halls, is of a hlghec standard than thRt of years ago. ASKS FOR FUNDS Portland, Nov. 21 W Tentative plans calling for a $1,500,000 expen diture of public works money for Portland's school system, putting several thousand men to work, have been agreed upon by directors of tha school district here. Of the money to be sought, 30 per cent would be an outright grant and the rest would be borrowed. . The money would be used to build seven or eight grammar schools, and for painting and repairing the othee 76 school buildings in District No. L Before the plan can be undertak en, however, the legislature must approve a law allowing school dis tricts to call special elections Instead of limiting them to one general election each year. This matter, It was said, probably will come before the current special session. Voters of the district would then be asked to approve a $1,000,000 bond issue "to help Portland do Us part for recovery." For repair of the buildings now in use, about $2800 will be spent for carpenter work, and about $35, 000 for painting, it was said, ARRESTS FAIL TO JIBE WITH FINES The number of persons arrested for violations of automobile park ing ordinances between November 7 and November 18 falls to jibe to the satisfaction of the city council with the amount collected la fines.
