GOLD DECISION
Washington, Feb. 4 (IP) Con
gress returned to work today with
administration leaders facing fresh
Derolcxities created by postpone.
ment of the supreme court's gold
clause decision.
Little constructive legislation Is
likely until the decision is
nounced. So much depends on the
outcome that congress may be ex
pected to mark time except for
routine matters until the court
acts.
New dealers appeared disappoin
ted in postponement of a decision
which had been expected today.
Tension increased. Fear the delay
may resut In stagnation of security
markets was expressed.
The congressional situation Is not
satisfactory from an administra
tion viewpoint. The setback on the
world court last week threw rarty
forces Into disarray.
The controversial $4,880,000,000
work relief bill is due to be reported
out by the senate appropriations
committee this week.
Dissatisfaction with the huge ap.
nropriatlon bill, starting among re
publicans, has spread to some
democrats, among them Chairman
Carter Glass of the appropriations
committee who was not consulted
when the White House was pre
paring the measure.

since they went on their honeymoon
to Ottawa In September. 1925.
The Dlonnes refused to discuss
their plans. Hurrying through the
station, they rode away In a text to
a hotel.
COURT UPHOLDS
SENATE RIGHTS
Washington. Feb. 4 (U) The su
preme court today upheld the right
of the senate to punish William P.
MacCracken, former assistant sec
retary of commerce, for alleged con
tempt of Its ocean and airmail In
vestigating committee.
The senate naa imposea a tu-aay
jail sentence on MacCracken. He
had argued successfully in the lower
courts that only the courts coma
Impose such punishment.
MacCracken served In the Hoover
administration and later became at
torney for a number of leading air
lines.
He and Col. L. H. Brittin, then an
executive of Northwest Airways,
were accused of withholding docu
ments subpoenaed by the senate in
vestigating committee. They were
brought before the bar of the sen
ate and 10-day sentences imposed
on both.
Brittin served his time at once In
the District of Columbia Jail, but
MacCracken fought the sentence.
The supreme court opinion nas an
important bearing in determining
the extent to which senate and
house committees may go in punish
ing recalcitrant witnesses.
MacCracken's records were suo
noenaed bv the senate committee a
little more than a year ago. He
questioned the right of the commit
tee to demand these files which, he
held, were confidential matters be
tween lawyer and client.

by Henry L. Corbett, president of

the Salem chamber of commerce
Monday noon, In discussion of trends
in law making.
Taxation, welfare, education ana

greater portion of attention of the

been a marked slowing up in the
desire to pass laws Just for the sake
of action since the legislators were
last in session. At that time, he saia,
the members of the senate and the
house reflected the panicky feeling
of the general public and there was
a tendency to pass laws without
fniiv digesting the Durport and ef

much more deliberation and as i

little "bad" legislation for the gov
ernor to pass Judgment upon.

Mrs. Wanker, who Is herself tne
daughter of a pioneer, painted this
group to commemorate her pioneer
grandparents. There are about sev
enty pictures at present. She con
templates adding to them as she
finds time to visit other historical
spots. High commendation was ex
pressed by many persons concerning
the time' and patience required to
visit the widely-separated points
and paint under all sorts of unfav
orable conditions.
It Is said that this group of paint
ings already Is priceless In value;
and as the years pass and the build
ings grow older and eventually pass
into oblivion they will materially in
crease in value and Importance. She
has reproduced buildings from only
a ground-plan and an elevation; she
has painted with wind blowing sand
all over the canvas; she has painted
when her companions were distress
ed on account of high altitude. And
she has painted when time was
pressing so that every brush-stroke
had to count.
It Is believed that this exhibit has
aroused the widest Interest and has
been visited by more persons than
any offered to tile public In Salem
for a long period. Mrs. Edith Tozier

ing. A request of the state highway
commission to Increase tho salaries
of three structural designers from
$150 a month to $190 a month was
turned down cold, and three re
auests for the purchase of new au
tomobiles for the use of state de
partments and employes were re
turned with a request for specific in
formation as to what tney were
wanted for.
Not even a letter of explanation
from Leslie M. Scott, chairman of
the highway commission, pointing
out that the highway department
cannot keep competent skilled de
signers at Its present scale of wages,
has lost nine men tc the federal go
vernment in the past year, and that
two of Its three designers have been
offered salaries in excess of $200 a
month elsewhere, could move
board from its adamant position.
We haven't got the money, and
if we start this thing there will be
no end to It," said Governor Martin.
Rejection of the requests for new
automobiles brought to light the
fact that the board has under con
sideration a pian for pooling state
automobiles for the use of state em
ployes on official business of mak
ing the cars of one department or
employe, when not in official use,
available for the use of another de
partment or employe.
Holman ventured the information
that a survey he had conducted re
vealed that the state bought 160 au
tomobiles last vear, which elicited
from the governor the comment
that "We will have to curb this
abuse."
"I have been Informed that state
cars have even been used for trips
outside the state to British Comm.
bia and other states," said Martin,
Yes, and to Longview and other
places that I know of," replied Hol
man, who said that the two cars
owned by the board of control had
been used chiefly by Einzig. "I have
proof of that," he sold.
Snell said he thought some
method ought to be worked out to
settle the matter and that the ticket
agent should not be compelled to
dig down into his own pocket to
make good for a service he perform
ed in good faith.
"The secretary of state has no
authority to audit that claim unless
he knows that Elnzlg made the trip
on state business and state business
alone," said Holman. "Elnzlg later
stated to this board that he was In
the employ of a paper concern be
fore he was dismissed as state pur
chasing agent. We have found he
was engaged in the brewery busi
ness, the paper business and
the flax business before he leit
the state's employ. How do we
know that he was not on private
business on that trip to New York?"
The matter of the $288 was re
ferred to Snell to determine If
Stadelman had agreed to payment of
the claim before he lert office.
Einzig came In for further excor
iation at Holman's hands when a
ticket agent of the United Air Lines
appeared before the board to re
quest payment for the ticket for
Einzlgs trip to Mftw Jiorit eariy ui
January. The agent said that Einzig
had called him on the telephone,
made reservation for the ticket and
said to charge it to the state of Ore.

bv Governor Meier, who later signed
the voucher for tho $288 claim, and
that Secretary of state stadelman
had agreed also to sign the voucher
before he retired from office, but
was unable to do so because of sickness.
X will not approve the claim,'
shouted Holman "1 was not con
sulted about sending Elnzlg east and
know nothing about it."
The air line agent, in reply to
question of Governor Martin, said
