found that the special election to
vote on dissolution of the Oervais
Union high school district cannot
be held on Fi iruary 17, as original
ly requested, and the date of elec
tion has been set for February 24.
The reason for having to desig
nate a later date for the election
lay In tho fact that there was not
time to post notices as required by
law and still hold the election on
February 17. Tlie law requires that
notices must be posted for 20 days
and there was nut sufficient time
left to get tlie notices out to all the
districts in the union high school
district and still leave 20 days be
fore that date.

WL PROGRAM
BY PRODUCERS
PROPOSES POOL
Portland. Jan. 27 (P A tentative
program for rigid regulation of dai
ry production, the discouragement
of new entries into the dairy indus
try, and an equable allocation of
surplus losses by formation of a
pool, was submitted to about 60 pro
ducers and distributors of the Port
land milkshed by tlie Oregon milk
control board here today.
The proposal for production re
strictions is designed ultimately to
stabilize the entire Industry. Tlie
producers and distributors who
heard the plan today were said to
have given almost unanimous ap
proval. Possible modification will de
pend upon data submitted by inter
ested factors.
The plan provides for control and
regulation of surplus production for
the Portland sales area. The board
will, prior to February 10, if the plan
is adopted, provide for payment to
all producers shipping grade B milk
or cream into this area on a unt
form pooling bas.r, and will provide
for establishment of uniform basic
averages for each producer after
February 1 of payment of basic and
surplus prices.
To effect this control a pooling
agency will be designated by the
board. MJk dealers will be ordered
to make no payments for grade B
milk or cream received by them on
and after February 1 until this ag
ency is organized.
For the restriction of production
In this area, the plan provides that
"no grade A raw milk and cream
which is not produced within the
Portland grade A raw milk shed,
shall be sold in the Portland area,
unless the Fame is produced by grade
A raw producer-distributors who
were actually selling grade A milk
or cream in the Portland sales area
on December 15. 1933."
ITERS RAID
POLICE EXHIBIT
BaUon, Jan. 27 (P) Three gun
men looted tlie MassacViusctts state
police exhibit at the Boston auto
show early today and escaped with
a machine gun, four shotguns and
several bombs.
The robbery apparently had been
carefully planned. Tho gunmen,
who had been hiding in a truck,
carried the weapons and ammuni
tion to a waiting ear near the
Belvldere street entrance of Me
chanics building, where the show
is being held.
They held two watchmen at pistol
point os the pair made their tour
of that section of the show in
which the police exhibit was quart
ered. The watchmen Luelen Herkian
and George Mason said the gun
men took their time about break
ing open packing boxes and ripping
open the rear door of a state police
radio car in llieir search for weap
ons. They said one of the trio
looked Into the gasoline tank oi
the police portable radio station
and remarked, as he turned away
from the truck, "We'd take this too
if It had any gas in the tank."
The exhibition floor was dimly
lit, the watchmen said, and they
were unable to give an accurate
description of the three robbers.
A hasty checkup of the police
exhibit revealed the following
weapons and ammunition missing:
One Thompson machine gun
f navy type i , four shot guns ( riot
type), one 38 mm gas rifle, six
Mills bombs, six gas shells for use
in n pistol, and four 38 mm gas
shells.
The exhibit had on display all
the most modern types of weapons
used by police In combating crime.

TO PROSECUTE
FRUIT SHIPPERS
Seattle, Jan. 27 (tP) Vigorous
measures to enforce the northwest
fruit marketing control program
under authority of the agricultural
adjustment administration have
been decided on, the control com
mittee announced following a two
day session here. Representatives
attended from Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana fruit grow
ing areas.
Paul A. Schcrer, Medford, Ore.,
president of the control committre,
:iaid he believed greatly increased
prices of all varieties of fruit over
thoe received for previous years'
crop were due largely to market
ing control and minimum price
regulations.
The committee considered charg
es that two Yakima shippers sold
quantities of "C" grade apples con
trary to marketing control regula
tions and that they refused to make
daily sales reports to tlie bureau
of agricultural economics as re
quired by the marketing agreement
and license.
The committee, following a hear
ing, recommended that the secre
tary of agriculture should suspend
their federal licenses and require
payment of reparation.

ASK SALVAGE
OF FIRE SWEPT
TIMBER AREA
Washington, Jan. 27 iJFi Demands
for Immediate salvage of the dam
aged timber In the Oregon forest
fire region where 325.000 acres of
timber land were burned over last
summer, were voiced here in a com
mittee report to the forest conser
vation conference.
Citing that thirteen billion feet of
valuable fir timber was either dam
aged or destroyed, the report, given
by Lynn F. Cronemiller of the Ore
gon forestry department, said "im
mediate salvage ls imperative to pre
vent the loss of this vast resource
and of the great public benefits of
employment and tax revenues which
will result from its operation.
"This catastroplie we regard as
constituting a national emergency
problem of a type which warrants
and necessitates special treatment
of both public and industrial agen
cies," the report said.
Using the Oregon situation as an
example, the committee recommend
ed that the lumber code authority
shift production allotments in this
and similar cases to "permit It to
be marketed with minimum loss."
The report also asked that the
federal government give "preferen
tial consideration to such salvage
operations In extending financial .or
other aid for the development of
operating facilities, additional fire
protection or In any other manner
authorized by law. and to enlist the
cooperation of state and other local
agencies.
The recommendations were not
limited entirely to fire damage, the
committee suggesting that similai
treatment should be accorded In
cases of damage by wind, disease or
insects.
WAITERS' STRIKE
HELD TEST OF NRA
New York. Jan. 27 A strike of
waiters and kitchen help had spread
through most of New York's hotels
today.
Called by the Amalgamated Hotel

Tlie union, which is not associat
cd with the American Federation of
Labor, demands a 40-hour week, a
$20 wage scale and improved work
ing conditions. From the Waldorf
it demands reinstatement of a chef
who it claimed, was discharged be
cause of union activities.
It was the case of the chef which
precipitated the trouble. The hotel
denied he had even been dismissed.
However, he and other workers who
did not observe an ultimatum of the
hotel to return to work by 5 p.m.
yesterday, are permanently through.

RAPPED HARD IN
PROBERS REPORT
Washington, Jan. 27 (IP) A biting
criticism of stock market practice
was made in a special inter-depart
mental committee report to tlie
house bankuig and currency com
mittee today.
Disclosures of the senate stock
market inquiry, the report saw, "im
pose an imperative obligation to de
vise constructive measures for the
prevention of those practices which
have shocked the conscience of the
nation."
The text of the report was made
public by Chairman Steagall short
ly alter it was submitted to Uie
committee.
The report said the general objec
tives of regulation should be:
"1. 1'; sixxific practices of the
market must be made reliable and
clean, no matter what point of view
is adopted with regard to the larger
question.
"2. So far as passible tlie aim
should be to try to create a condi
tion in which fluctuation In secur
ity values more nearly approximate
fluctuation in the position of the
enterprise Itself and of general ec
onomic conditions that is, tend to
represent what is going on in the
business and in our economic life
rather than mere speculative or
technical' conditions in the market.
"3. The steady accumulation over
i period of time of Information
which will afford a better basis for
determining whether as wide and
as dangerous machinery as now ex
ists is really necessary to secure li
quidity of security values."
Tlie committee recommended that
no curb be placed on short selling
as such" but that the stock exchange
authority be given power to require
exchanges to prevent abuses "of
such a character as to dcmorallzf)
the market."
