FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1934 NEW YORK STOCKS FAMOUS NOVEL COMING IN FILM FOR HEATH LOfiG Closing Quotations by Associated Press THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON T L Portland, Aug. 17 (IP) Butter prices were unchanged today. Trading In the local egg market shows strength for quality but Steadiness for others. Considerable activity Is suggested In the peach trade here with prices firm to higher generally. Offer ings are curtailed from all sections of the home territory. Yakima peach deal is ending. A message from the peach bureau states Elbertas are all picked and the last shipped today while the last of the Hales will be picked to day and the deal over in a few days. Local cantaloupe price is a trifle easier with suggestion of fractional decline in spots although a few cants are still being sold above the general price listed. Good quality is extremely scarce. First of the regular shipments of peas from near Coquille will arrive In Portland Monday. The crop Is reported excellent. There Is a keen demand for Hermiston watermelons and the extreme quality is causing a flood of orders that shippers have diffi culty in keeping up with. Lamb market is still slow, other lines are steady to firm. Italian prune demand is better for fresh offerings. Tomato market is steady for ex treme quality, slow for others. Local lettuce is now generally better than northern but sells much lower. Potato market continues rather active locally but at unchanged prices. VALUES Chicago, Aug. 17 (fl' A big tum ble in corn values lnte today went hand in hand with free selling on the part of houses with connec tions east. On the rapid downward slide of the corn market, a profusion of gtop loss orders were automatically forced into execution.

Continuation of Let Germany From Page One ganized opposition. His address to the world from the Hamburg city hall tonight ends six days in which nazis, great and small, have braved writer's cramp and strained voices telling Germany that Hitler fits the shoes of the late Paul von Hindenburg. On Sunday ,so says one nazi chieftain, 43,000,000 Germans will obediently say "ja" to the one issue on the ballot: That Hitler has the right to von Hindenburg's presiden tial powers. Dozens of other related principles have been enunciated by fervid Hitlerites this week the most im portant being that Germany must again demonstrate to a hostile world that it is behind der fuehrer. The very fervor of the campaign, however tons of literature lauding Hitler have been written and mil lions of words spoken about unity has been interpreted in foreign circles as indicating the nazi lead ership is none too sure it will get as large a vote as It did last No vember. Hitler's selection of Hamburg for the crowning effort was considered significant. It is known that in that proud old Hanseatic city mere is as well-defined an opposition group as any in Germany. Ham burg, a great port, has been hard hit by nazi trade restrictions. Hitler will speak between 8 and 10 p. m. (2 and 4 p. m. EST). His address will be broadcast. By government order no flowers will be strewn in the chancellor's path but there will be flags also by order greeting him there and in every part of the reich. "I am not appealing for votes be cause I -feel I need bolstering up," he said. "I've always stood on my own feet, and I can do It again. But I believe the people's leader ship must emanate from the people also that the world must be shown the Germans are united. "So long as our enemies feel they have a chance of negotiating with a disunited Germany so long will they hope to crowd us Into agreements suitable to themselves, j We must show them we stana as one. Not that a united Germany asks favors of a hostile world. Our position is, 'We seek nothing fromj you but let us go our own way in peace.'" I Continuation of Adolf Hitler Prom Pago One but for the nation" and pledged full responsibility for his steward ship "with my head and my life." Reiterating that the revolution (the entire post-war republican movement in Germany) Is over, Hit ler visualized a state resting "po litically on the nazi movement, mil itarily on the army, and not tied to one-sided capitalistic Interests." Hitler declared that a hostile for eign press, In order to create trou ble, predicted disorders In Germany and a feud between leading nazis during tho interregnum which fol lowed President Paul von Hinden burg's death. "This speculation had o be halted In the Interests of the German peo ple," he said. "Otherwise we should have awaited the peoples' decision. The result would have been the same." He referred to the arbitrary pro mulgation of a law creating his new office, with its reference to the people after the fact had been accomplished. Discussing the merging of the of fices of president and chancellor, Hitler said: "Without anticipating your deci sion on & future constitution, I hope I may succeed in covering the title of reich chancellor with new honor." Referring to those who fool "un- Justlv deprived of their right of criticism," Hitler said: "In my opinion, criticism has no vital function. The world con do without critics but not without workers."

The certificates, $1,250,000 to be issued in five equal monthly install ments, will be in denominations of $1000. Funds secured will be the state's contribution to supplement federal funds for unemployment relief. The state treasurer was under stood to be ready' to advertise the certificates for sale as soon as the attorney-general renders an opinion upholding their validity. They are to be retired serially beginning Decem ber 31, 1934, and mature by Decem ber 31, 1935. Several bond houses, it was un derstood, have asked that a certi fied audit be made of liquor profits and anticipated revenues by an out side auditor and that some attor ney, other than the attorney general, render an opinion declaring sale of the certificates legal and valid. Continuation of Highway Board Prom Page One state-wide call for a fair distribu tion, bitterness and strife would be engendered, Portland would be ac cused of selfish designs and the highway commission would be charged with spineless disregard of duty, or worse. "With patient care the highway commission has chosen projects and recommended them to the U. S. bureau of public roads. The engi neers are making all possible speed for the letting of contracts and the beginning of work. Contention will delay plans and contracts and cause loss oi lair weatner employ ment." The county-city committee has requested the additional $700,000 because, they pointed out, 87 per cent of unemployment in Oregon exists in Portland, A formal pro test of the highway commission's allocation already has been sent to Washington, D. C. The commission statement con cluded with the remark that "the allocation of this fund in Portland is already 75 per cent of the total for the division, and no more can be fairly expended in Portland." The allocation was made arter the state had been divided into four sections. The 12 northwestern counties were in division No. 1, and got $1,465,000 out of the $3, 100,000 total.

GREATER VALU "The Nutritive Values of Cali fornia prunes" is the title of a brief but exhaustive summary of orig inal and published research which establishes the California prune in a new light dietetically, says the California Fruit News. The booklet is not for lay readers, owing to its mass of technical detail but has been accepted for circulation among physicians, hospital dietitians and others professionally interested in nutrition by the Committee on Foods of the American Medical As sociation. The book was written by L. B. Williams of the California Dried Fruit Research Institute, as sisted by Marjorle Gilbreath of the Institute staff and K. M. Mark of the Fruit Products Laboratory of the University of California. Probably the most important fea ture of the book is the announce ment for the first time that prunes, which have heretofore been classed among the acid foods, in reality have no effect upon the akaiine reserve of the blood. This Is prob ably the most outstanding result of the research on prunes which has been going on for the past two years under the direction of the Dried Fruit Research Institute. With the present booklet as a ba seis, the Institute plans to prepare the same material for the informa tion of the lay public and, with the acceptance of the American Medi cal Association, publish It soon. In the meantime the Institute Is busy Informing the writers of bio chemistry text books, books on die tetics and magazine and newspaper writers on the subject about the new deal for prunes, because the acid-base tests call for the reclas sifying of prunes in both the pro fessional works on these subjects and publications for the lay reader. Other matters set forth in the book are the reaon for the laxative val ues In California prunes And the vitamin, mineral and energy val ues. The booklet has a foreword by Dr. Langley Porter, dean of the Medical School of the University of California, and copies are available to those interested in the Industry or professionally Interested in nu trition but not for publication to the public without the approval of the Institute.

M. Erickson, acting president, stated today. The university could probably be filled to capacity if students were assured of a little financial assistance. Many of those who would like to attend Willam ette have written in asking for a portion of the government aid money which will be distributed here. This fund will amount to $800 monthly to be divided among young men and women according to enrollment. No individual stud ent will be permitted to receive more than $20 a month from this sum while the average will be around $15. President Erickson stated today the government had liberalized the restrictions in connection with the mrmey. Heretofore students who received aid were not allowed to work off of the campus. Now, how ever, the university can place them in non-profit organizations. It is expected they will be used in re search work to some extent in the courts and in state departments. Campus projects for students who are employed under the govern ment aid program will probably include the cleaning up .of the banks of the mill race and the levelling off of the northeast portion of the grounds. Planting of appropriate snruDs along the mill race Is part of the plan of improvement.

A message from the advance weather base where Byrd spent nearly five months in isolation told how he resigned himself to death and left a note for a relief paity which he feared would "arrive too late." Dr. Thomas C. Poulter, head of the tractor expedition of three which fought its way to Byrd's side, reported by radio that the com mander became so ill in June from fumes from his stove he thought the end was near. "My observations here and re marks that Admiral Hfrd has made," said Dr. Poulter, "convinced mj that he has gone through things, particularly during the first three weeks of June and the past two weeks, that must have been be yond human ability to withstand. "He was convinced he had reach ed the limit of his endurance. He was true to the polar code and played the game gallantly. "As I think back I see things in his messages that were put there to keep us from realizing his con dition, fearing that the trip in an attempt to reach him would risk the lives of others. "Although he was up to meet us on our arrival, he should not have been. I see him showing marked improvement. . It will be some time before he fully recovers his strength. "A note was hung over his table dated June 15 referring to letters he had written to various people and where the letters could be found. Even thinking the tractor would arrive too late he had writ ten us a note which he had left on the table but which he put out of sight when we entered the shack. "I marvel at how complete a of scientific data he has obtained and how painstaking he has been with it." BETTER WEATHER BOOSTS BUSINESS New York, Aug. 17 (P) The turn to more favorable weather, partic ularly the easing of drought condi tions in the midwest, has brightened business prospects and sentiment, says the Dun & Bradstreet weekly trade review. "With no extension of the bound aries of the drought areas reported for more than two weeks," asserted the review," and with the heat wave definitely broken, preliminary esti mates place farm income at 20 to 25 per cent higher than it was a year ago." "The final launching of the bil-lion-dollar home renovation drive is expected to bring an early up turn in employment. "The volume of retail sales, said the review, was larger than a week earlier with gains ranging from 2 per cent in some parts of the east to 20 to 30 per cent respectively for the southwest and Pacific coast.
