ITS
NOT REGULAR
Pacific coast hop markets were
rather Irregular during the week
ended October 17, with an extreme
ly quiet situation prevailing in Ore
gon and Washington markets, but
with considerable activity develop
ing In California, according to the
weekly hop market review of the
United States bureau of agricultural
economics. In the absence of any
current sales, values in Oregon and
Washington were nominally un
changed from those of the previous
period, or around 17c per pound net
to growers in Oregon, for new crop
clusters, and 30c per pound for 1034
crop fugglcs. The California sales
were made at the same levels as
those of the previous week, ranging
around 15c to 16c per pound, net to
growers.- Demand generally, from
both domestic and foreign buyers,
continues slow for spot hops, deliv
eries on term and early season con
tract sales being about sufficient
for curent requirements in the mar
kets. Of particular Interest to the in
dustry during the post week, was
the release, by the division of crop
and livestock estimates, of the Oc
tober 1, preliminary estimate of
hop production in the United States
for 1934. This report estimates the
1034 hop crop In the three Pacific
coast states, the principal producing
area, at 30,745,000 pounds, or an
increase over the September 1, es
timate of 2,875,000 pounds.
Oregon markets were also ex
tremely dull, with no new sales by
growers made during tho week un
der review. In the absence of cur
rent transactions, current values
were generally considered as nom
inally unchanged from the previous
ween, or around 17c per lb. for new
crop clusters and 30c for fuggles,
and with 1933 crop hops nominally
around 13c per pound. Dealers and
producers were generally busy with
deliveries on contract sales, which
was proceeding steadily in all dis
tricts of the state. Interest was
lacking in the spot market, both for
new and older growl! is, with only
scattered inquiries being received by
dealers from domestic consuming
Interests.

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR SALEM TRIO
Three Salem young men, Harold
Ollnger, Bob Drager and Don speer,
were congratulating themselves to
day that they were still among the
living Instead of furnishing meals
for the crabs of Nehalem bay as
the result of a thrilling experience
the trio encountered last Sunday.
The three men placed a large row
boat with a single motor in the
river a mile or so below Godfrey's
place, noping to catch salmon. Be
fore they had an opportunity to
rig tneir rods, alter moving to a
favorable place In the river, the
storm hit them with full force. In
a short time the gunwales of the
boat were awash and it was found
ering In the midst of a mass of logs,
trees and other debris. After hang
ing on to some brush for some time
a man came to their rescue and
helped them to the bank. They
then took refuge In a nearby farm
er's milk shed only to see the
shingles torn from the structure by
an extra heavy blast of wind.
The boat was subsequently found,
floating bottom side up and after
a two hour struggle It was beached
NRA GAS PRICES
UP IN U.S. COURT
Portland, Oct. 23 (n Determlna-
lion of the question of Just how far
the government can go in regulating
the price of gasoline under the na
tional industrial recovery act, will
be considered here by Federal Judge
John H. McNary as soon as counsel
havo submitted briefs in a case
heard here today.
Pour service stations, accused bv
the government of violation of NRA
regulations by selling gasoline under
the posted price, argued. In motions
for dismissal, that operation of a
retail service station is strictly an
Intrastate business and can In no
way como under the NRA Interstate
provisions. They contended that af
ter gasoline has been placed In re
tall storage tanks, the government
has no Jurisdiction over It.
The government argued, however.
that gasoline does not have to be
moved in Interstate commerce to
come under provisions of the na
tional recovery act. If, the federal
attorneys said, gasoline affects inter
state commerce It can be regulated
by the act.

KANSAS POLICE
FIND TWO-WAY
RADIO BIG AID
Kansas City. Kan. (IP) A two-
way police department radio sys
tem, considered the most modern in
the country, has brought the Kan
sas City, Kan., department many
minutes closer to the bandit and
sneak thief.
The system, recently installed,
outmodes the police radio in gen
eral use in that the cruising cars,
as well as the headquarters office,
are sending stations. The cruising
patrolmen not only receive instruc
tions from the department dis
patcher, but communicate with
him.
Coincident with the installation
of the new system three outside
sub-stations were closed and the
city now operates with only the
headquarters station where the ra
dio control room Is located.
The radio station, licensed by the
government, operates on a fre
quency of 33,100 kilocycles, or a
nine meter band. This high fre
quency, the engineers say, will pre
vent Interference. The power is 100
watts, and that or tne cruiser sta
tionswhich also are individually
licensed to broadcast but four
watts, provided by storage bat
teries. Because of the rough terrain of
Kansas City, with high ridges ot
hills rearing themselves between
some of the districts and headquar
ters, the light power of the car
sending stations Is inadequate.
However, to overcome this a booster
relay station has been erected. Se
vere tests showed two-way corn
way communication was possible
from every section or the city re

cal conditions which a few years
ago would have caused so much

FAMED FRENCH
TO FILM RULE
Paris, (LP) The historic Comedie
Prancalse, that for centuries has
been devoted to the stage produc
tion of the classic dramatists, at last
has bowed, although somewhat stiff,
ly, to the movies. ,
Following a meeting of the admin
istration committee of the House of
Moliere, it officially was announced
that two films will be produced and
shown In the theater for the first
time In history
To avoid a too radical break from
tradition the first picture will be a
documentary film recording the ac
tivities of the great actors and act
resses. It will include special shots
of some of the departed figures of
the legitimate stage such as Sarah
Bernhardt and Edouard de Max.
Scenes of the backstage of the
Comedie Francaise, including its
vast costuming department, scenery
workshop and subterranean store
rooms far below the level of the
street will be shown. The spectator
will be taken visually to places in
this last pillar of the classic drama
that he otherwise never would see.
The second film will be a screen
adaptation of "Les Prccieuscs Ridi
cules" of Moliere and particular
pains will be taken to prevent any
deviation from the theme as origin
ally conceived by the great French
playwright. In order that these films
may not be vulgarized by the popu
lar cinemas of the Paris boulevards,
a special provision Is made that they
must not be shown within a radius
of 100 kilometers from the French
capital.
Still subsidized by the French go
vernment, the Comedie Francaise
was founded back in 1680 at the or
der of Louis XIV. Through the cen
turies that since have elapsed it al
ways has remained the foremost in
stitution of classic drama in France,
