Byron'
. Defends Brain Trusters
President Roosevelt in his Yale speech defended the
'brain, trust" and said that the use of brains in government
Iwould continue. He said:
Ability rather than politics enters into most choices made In Wash
ington. I can't tell today the party affiliations of most of the responsible
people in government and it is a mighty good thing I can't. While there
lias been a certain amount of ribald laughter about the use of brains in
government it seems to me a good practice. We are going to call on
trained people.
The president added a strong support of congress which
e declared represented a cross section of opinion more rep
peseittative than any single group, educational or otherwise.
There is a popular prejudice against college professors
because as a rule they are theoretical rather than practical
and oftimes go off on tangents in support of hobbies. Their
function is one of research rather than administration
though there are exceptions. As a rule they are far better
informed than politicians who have little conviction and veer
jith the wind.
Roosevelt however, listens to the professors as well as
to the politicians and business men and forms his own opin
ion. When the professor's theories do not work out satis
jfactorily he abandons the experiment. And experience has
lproven that the responsibilities of office modifies the pro
fessors views, as m the case of Tugwell.
The Relief Crisis
Federal Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins insists
that Oretron do something for the relief of indigent unem
ployed and cease throwing the entire burden on the federal
government. Orefron he states, has received more ana con
tributed less than any of the commonwealths, and he threat
ens a curtailment of federal largess. In his message to uov-
;ernor Meier, Mr. Hopkins says:
I wish at this time to make it perfectly clear that this administration
does not feel that it should carry the entire cost of unemployment relief
for state of Oregon and I must insist that satisfactory arrangements to
this administration must be worked out immediately whereby state of
Oregon will defray its fair share of cost of unemployment relief in Ore
gon. I am prepared to continue present arrangements for a reasonable
time until you can have opportunity to work out these arrangements but
in no case do I feel that this should bo longer than August 1 of this year.
The rebuke is well merited, for the state has failed to
function. The legislature appropriated $3,000,000 from ex
pected liquor funds,, but to date only $44,000 has been turned
over and none of it distributed. Meanwhile Uncle Sam has
been pungling up three-quarters of a million a month, a total
of about $15,000,000, the state only $29,000 and counties
but $630,000.
Oregon is asked to contribute a third of the expendi
tures, not an unreasonable request. The problem is one that
will have to be met in some way. The discouraging feature
is that a portion of the unemployed not only refuse to work
but resort to violence to keep others from working and do all
possible to retard recovery, evidently convinced the govern
ment will continue to pension them in idleness.
News Behind
The News
By Paul MaJton

IMUL MA!
Believe It or Not
Nudist colonies in the east labor under natural disad
vantages as compared with those in the Pacific northwest.
,The Milwaukee Journal relates initial experiences at Wiscon
sin Dells where a one hundred acre tract or woouiand para
lisu about Mirror lake was donated by a Wisconsin man and
a group. of Chicago nature enthusiasts took possession:
Joyfully they threw off their hampering clothing and. Innocently
gleeful as little children began to romp about the greensward. They Just
had so much funl The cares of the world were discarded with thelr con
ventlonal aarments and thev frolicked and gamboled, pure of heart.
But suddenly a strangely worldly expression of petulance appeared
on the face of one child of nature. "Drat it!" he said, or sometning,
and sat down abruptly to begin anexamlnatlon of one foot.
And then came other howls and other squeals and the strange spec
tacle of devotees of the sun god standing on one leg like storks, while with
feverish fingers they attempted to pluck the torment from their bodies.
In shade or sun was no surcease, and paradise, Infested with sandburs,
came tumbling round their ears. The beautiful woodland tract was cov
ered with the scrubby, sharp-spined, actively malevolent little plants.
We have no sandburs as yet anyway in our Oregon
forests, so the attention of children of nature is respectfully
called to our superiority in nudest paradises. We have of
course those accompanying natural blessings of poison oak,
foxtails, brambles, ants, etc., which are also in the east, but
if one goes high enough in the mountains, even these are
escaped, and there are only sharp rocks and pebbles and hid
den roots to toughen the feet.
It is one of the "believe it or not" paradoxes that while
so-called civilized people are engaged in a mad nudistic
, scramble of disrobing, savages in other lands are just as ex
citedly donning clothes for bodily protection to escape infec
tions, cuts and bruises and wrenched toes. So while the nud
ists are stepping back toward savagery, savages are stepping
forward to civilization. Ihere ought to be sonio reciproci
ty, so those who don't wnnt clothes can supply those who do.

Washington. D. C. June 21.
There Is hardlv a man on the In
side at the war department who
does not believe
that Major-Oen-eral
Foulois- re
ceived unneces
sarily rough treat
ment from the
house military
committee.
They feel gen
erally that the
case has more be
hind it than a
simple effort to
impose justice.
For one thing,
Foulois has always acted rather in
dependently with congressmen. He
made lno enort to piay pontics
with them, as most government
officials do. He even criticized tills
same house committee once be
cause it did try some logrolling
In the selection of a certain air
field. In fact he blocked the com
mittee's efforts.
That circumstance certainly did
not encourage the committee to
spare the rod when it had a chance
to flay him.
More important, however, is the
political aspect.
You can never make war depart
ment officials believe that the
committee rendered a free non-
political Judgment. All the dem
ocratic representatives are up for
re-eiection tnis year. The failure
or the air corps to carry the malls
win be an issue that they must
answer. The simplest possible an
swer will be that they tried to fire
tne fellow who overestimated the
army's ability to carry the malls,
rnat clears them.
The committee is denying it was
influenced by such motives. It can
point out that the republican com
mittee Joined in the scalping of
r-ouiois, wnicn is true,
But they would have a hard time
convincing a Jury about their mo
tives, as long as the results of
their action will be to free them
selves politically.
War Secretary Dern is not
particular friend of Foulois. His
final Judgment may be accepted as
non-partisan, frivately he Indicat
ed to friends before eolnir over
the record In detail that he thought
me committee went much too far.
An impersonal opponent of Foul
ois is cnier of Staff MacArthur.
He and Foulois have been conduct
ing a natural inside battle between
the air service and the general
staff about the merits of the air
service in national defense. Of
course MacArthur can sav nothing
oiuciauy aoout tne matter, but you
win una mat ne let tne word drop
to rnenas not long ago that if
he had been asked whether the
air service could carry the malls
he would have made the same af
firmative response Foulois did.
What really convinces the war
aepartment crowd In favor of Foul
ois is the fact that the only serious
charge against him is that he fail
ed to follow the directions of con
gress in awarding contracts. That
is iunaamentany true, out It was
also true of Foulois' predecessors.
Tne army air people think they
know how to buy planes. They
like, for Instance, to get bombers
from tne Martins, pursuit planes
from. Boeing, etc- because each
manufacturer Is a specialist In his
own particular line.
Under competitive bidding they
might get some bombers from sub
marine manufacturers which wculd
perform like submarines.
The only Important Issue involved
is whether the air corps officers
favored certain manufacturers for
less patriotic reasons. No one be
lieves they did. The war depart
ment group has the utmost confi
dence In Foulois' honesty.
If there Is anything wrong with
him, they say, it Is overenthuslasm
for the army air corps, which Is
hardly an indictable offense.
The White House felt more harsh
ly toward Foulois than anyone else,
because he failed to live up to his
promise to carry the malls.
Nevertheless there is. every rca
son to expect that the White House
will deal less harshly with Foulois
than the house committee did.
Those who know the Inside at
the interstate commerce commission
believe a general reduction hi rail
road passenger fares will be order
ed before long. They expect It to
be a rattier strong reduction, pos
sibly even eliminating the Pullman
urcnarge.
The flat passenger rate is now
3.0 cents a mile. The commission
might go as far as cutting it to
cents.
The commissioners are supposed
to be somewhat irked because some
of the eastern railroads refused to
cooperate on a rate reduction and
plan to take matters In their own
hands. That Is why they ordered
the recent Investigation of nassen-
Rer fares.
Light killed S. B. 3817. That Is
the nameless bill which passed the
senate and was on the verge of
passing the house before anyone
found out what It was about. It
would have given congressmen the
right to borrow from the home loan
and farm credit tills.
When congressmen generally
found out about It, they saw to It
that the bill was blocked; It was a
little too raw to stand the llaht
uf publicity.
That also explains the failure of
the senate to pass the house census
bill, which was merely lo give Jobs
to census takers who vote right in
the November elections.

versy indicated today that tney do
not believe secretary oi iaoor rxu
ih Perkins Is fully Informed of the
status of the longshoremen's struts,
which she asked be settled by lea-
eral arbitration.
Emnhatlc comment on the sugges
tion of Miss Perkins came from W.
J. Lewis, district president of the
longshoremen.
The Washington nispatcnes mui-
cate Miss Perkins is not fully con
versant with the situation,'' said
Lewis. "She apparently is not aware
of the stand that the grievances of
all unions must be settled before
the longshoremen can return to
work.
'Another thing that would have
to be made clear is what the ae
partment of labor has in mind in
regard to the operation of hiring
halls. If it means Joint operation,
then we already know that the LL.
A. is against it. The men still feel
that the only settlement satisfactory
to them is for the unions to oper
ate the halls."
San Francisco, June 21 (IP)
Thomas Plant, president of the
Waterfront Employers' union, today
answered a telegram from Secre
tary of Labor Perkins in which the
asked Plant and Joseph Ryan, pres
ident of I.L.A., If they would sub
mit the question of hiring halls for
striking longshoremen to federal
arbitration.
I do not think I had better dis
close the contents of my message
until Secretary Perkins receives It,"
Plant said.
Ryan said he had not yet received
a telegram, but he said "Tills Is no
longer a problem for the longshore
men. '
Speaking of publicity, a certain
government official here Insists on
getting his. He recently took a trip
with President Roosevelt and was
dismayed to find that the morn
ing newspapers did not mention
his name. He Induced his press
agent to call a world-wide news
agency here, asking that the omls-
slon be rectified in the afternoon
editions.
Seattle, June 21 OP) "I see
nothing in this that causes me to
expect a settlement of the dis
pute," Alfred Lundln, president of

chairman of the citizens' emergency
committee, when informed today of
the appeal of Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins for submission of
grievances In the waterfront strike
to an arbitrator.
'Edward McOrady, himself an as
sistant secretary of the department
of labor, spent 10 days talking to
both sides, and reached an agree
ment, which was renudlnted bv the
longsnorcmen," Lundln said.
"The second agreement of last
week was signed hv leaders on both
sides, in fact guaranteed by union
ciiicis, ana was signed bv the nre-
sldent's regional labor board, vet it
too was repudiated bv the long
shoremen. I sec no ray of hope in

"I think the longshoremen's un
ion is now dominated by an element
not even working before the strike.

LUMBER GUT
BY AUTHORITY
OF NRA CODE
Washington, June 21 (IP) Lumber
production for the third quarter was
reduced 15.5 percent from the cur
rent quarter by the lumber code au
thority today. '
The total was set at 3,845,000,000
feet, with 2.170,000.000 for softwoods
and 675,000,000 for hardwoods. The
softwood divisions were assigned a
production of 10 percent except the
three largest West Coast Lumber
men's association. Southern Pine
and Western Pine. These latter
three took a reduction of about 14
percent.
The curtailment was partly due to
the fact that production totals have
been consistently kept above the
probabilities of consumption, the
code authority said.
The log quota for the west coast
logging and lumber division was
fixed for all purposes at 1,110,000,
000 feet.
The lumber allocations in millions
of feet:
Softwoods: Cypress division 39;
northeastern division 72; Appalach.
ian softwood group 16; northern
hemlock division 54; northern pine
division 32; redwood division 88;
southern pine division 1100; west
ern pine division 633; Tillamook
burn area 40, (salvaging operations
following August fire).
Hardwoods: Appalachian and sou
thern hardwood subdivision 4745;
Northern hardwood subdivision 93.5;
northeastern hardwood subdivision
46.8; north central hardwood subdi
vision 33.4; walnut subdivision 6.7;
mahogany and Philippine subdivi
sion 13.4; miscellaneous hardwoods

ties, however, is the task of find
ing a nominee acceptable to all of
the factions they hope to conoUiate
and ween away from the regular
nominees, and of drafting a plat
form agreeable to all and offensive
to none. Conferences 'with repre
sentatives of unemployed groups re
veal that tentative platform pro
posals are not sufficiently far
reaching to be satisfactory, whUe
proposals to liberalise them at the
expense of taxpayers are meeting
with opposition from more stable
and conservative elements among
the farmers.
As for candidates, there are those
who strongly favor Senator Peter
Zimmerman under any conditions.
Others quality their support of Zim
merman with the declaration that
be must cut himself loose from QUI-
Slaughter-Tompkins influence to be
satisfactory.
Charles M. Thomas, public utili
ties commissioner, qualifies with
those who are solely interested in
public development and distribution
of power, but is too conservative
for the advocates of state owned
banks, and his sympathy with pro
posed radical tax policies has not
been demonstrated as sufficiently
deep-rooted.
Then, too, the mechanics of or
ganization and putting the machin
ery Into smooth motion is trouble
some. The selection of an assembly
chairman agreeable to all and able
to keep the assembly ship on an
even keel Is no small problem, and
the Job of finding a key-noter able
to put across the idea behind the
Independent movement is proving
even more difficult, according- to re
liable Information.
It was during the 1032 campaign
that they and Professor A. A. Bene
were principals of the group close
to Mr. Roosevelt tnat were faceti
ously denominated "brain trusters.'
The term recurred repeatedly in
congress, without any notice from
the administration.
But the president himself brought
it up at New Haven. "While we
have heard a certain amount of
ribald laughter about the use of
brains in government," he said, "it
seems to be a good practice. It
will be continued. We are going to
call on trained people."
Senator McNary, the republican
leader, rejoined today:
I think a little brains ought to
go along with every administra
tion. I like a "brain trust' rather
than a brainless one. There are a
lot of fellows in the senate brainier
than Tugwell."
Senator SchaU (R.-Mlnn.) was
reminded of what Lenin and Trotz-
ky said when they sovietized Russia.
They first asserted "brain" would
run the country, he said. "And
later they announced they would
embark on a 'live year plan.
Tne 'five year plan' of tne Hus
sions failed Just as the Roosevelt
'double dear will lau."
His fears were not shared by
Senator Bone (D.-Wash.). Since
business prides itself In employing
brilliant university men, he
'It is the wise thing for the gov
ernment to do. It's a startling and
novel doctrine that a highly edu
cated man in public office may be
come a menace. What the merits
of some individual may be is a
horse of "another color."
Ogden, Utah, June 21 (JP) Senator
Hiram Johnson of California, paus
ing here between trains on his way
home from Washington, added his
comment to the debate over the
brain trust by declaring he Is not
frelghtened by men with brains,
It is a man without brains In
high position whom I am afraid of,
the senator said.
No one in the administration
right now is working beyond a 50
percent efficiency because of wear
iness from long hours and concen
tration over a long period on diffi
cult problems, he declared.
Senator Johnson said he thought
the new deal is on the right track
and will succeed generally. He had
nothing to say here about his Cali
fornia political plans.

trusteeship for an estate already
distributed. McNab died in 1927.
The keen legal mind of the at
torney apparently anticipated such
claims on his estate, for in his will
there Is a clause which reads:
"I am aware how frequently chil
dren or descendants appear after
death claiming heirship to such as
leave property. Should any such
child or children or descendant or
descandants establish themselves In

McNab specifically stated in his
will, however, that he had "no child
or children and no descendant."

to make a cost estimate In compar
ison with the Little North Pork
plan. This report was given the lea
gue's exeeutive committee yesterday.
Cupper's report says that, from
available information, it would ap
pear that 14 wells, or 12 in addition
to the two already in operation,
could reasonably be expected to fur
nish 5600 gallons a minute, or slight
ly In excess of that now furnished
by the Oregon-Washington Water
Service company's pumping equip
ment. The cost of putting down the wells
and furnishing the equipment, says
the report, would be approximately
$60,000, the annual cost of power
for pumping $10,000, and deprecla
tion, based on total cost, 7.5 percent
a year. Further it says: "In connec
tion with the revamping of the sys
tem to meet the requirements of
the Insurance underwriters, which
Baar dc Cunningham have estimat
ed to cost $300,000 to $350,000, It Is
estimated that an additional cost to
make the revamped system conform
to the use of wells would be $50,000."
It Is found the well water would
be cooler In temperature and more
nearly pure, tnougn narder. in
quality than from any other avail
able source. The city during each
of the years 1932 and 1933, the
report states, used approximately
one billion gallons of water with a
maximum demand of 5,460.018 gal
lons a day.
It has been estimated, says the
Cupper report, "that the cost of
bringing In the Bantiam water
would be, as estimated by Baar &
Cunningham, $1,168,000, reduced by
PWA grant to $854,000, with Inter-
est at 4 per cent. The deprecia
tion has been assumed to be 2.5
per cent per annum.
'It has been assumed tnat tne
maintenance, apart from the power
charge, will be the same for the
wells as for the Little North Fork
project, and that a grant of 25 per
cent of the total cost can be secured
from PWA. ... It must be remem
bered that the maximum capacity
of the 14 wells would be slightly
more than 50 per cent of the ca
pacity of the Little North Fork
project."
COST ESTIMATES
Based upon an annual delivery
of one billion gallons and other
data set forth above, Cupper makes
the following deductions:
Total cost or wells based upon a
retirement of the principal cost In
period of 30 years cost of 12
additional wells, equipped, $45,000:
interest for 30 years, based on
equal annual principal payments,
$27,000: depreciation at 7.5 per cent
30 years, $157,500; additional cost
of revamping system. $37,500; in
terest, $22,500; depreciation at 2.5
per cent, 30 years, $37,500. Total
cost of wells over 30-year period,
$327,000.
Cost of bringing in water from
Little North Fork of Santiam river
Original cost, $854,000; Interest.
30 years, based on equal annual
payments, $512,400; depreciation at
2.5 per cent a year for 30 years,
$876,000. Total cost, $2,242,400.
If it Is assumed that the entire
principal cost of wells and equ.n-
ment will be paid for in two yea.s.
the Cupper report deduces as fol
lows: Cost of 12 wells, $45,000; inter
est for two years, $3600; deprecia
tion 7.5 per cent, $10,500; addition
al cost ot revamping present dis
tribution svstem. $37,500; Interest
$3000; depreciation. $2500. Total
$102,100.
INTEREST COSTLY
"The Interest and depreciation
on the Little North Fork of the
Santiam project during the two
years would amount to. $126,720, or
more than the total cost of the wells
If fully paid for in the two-year
period," the report continues. "This
indicates that the wells could be
tried out for a period of two yean
and then abandoned entirely with
out loss of actual cash to the city
over and above what it would have
cost had the city In the first
Instance built the Little North Fork
project
The annual cost of operating the
wells system Is estimated at $16,000.
Comparing this with the estimated
cost of operating the Little North
Fork project the only difference Is
said to be that the depreciation
cost of the latter would be $29,200.
"It will be noted, therefore," the
report concludes, "that If the costs
remain consistent, the amount of
water pumped from wells can be
considerably increased and still the
annual charge would be less than
the annual depreciation on the
Little North Fork project."
The two existing wells now used
by the Oregon-Washington Water
Service company are mentioned as
gouig tar to remove any doubt that
an abundance of underground water
is available In the vicinity. They
are each mentioned as furnishing
450 gallons a minute at a 250-foot
head. Other wells owned by Salem
industries are mentioned.
