CHECKS AHEAD
FOR FARMERS
Washington, Feb. 7 UP) Govern
ment economists said today this
country's farmers are assured of
government checks for $422,230,000
this year. They estimated the sum
may pass half a billion douars.
Under the AAA program which
started May 12, 1933, more than 10
million checks for $629,614,037 had
been passed out by this largest of
the new government alphabetical
agencies as this month started.
Secretary Wallace estimated 1935
benefit payments for reductions on
rive of the basic commodities as fol
lows:
Wheat $102,000,000.
Corn-hog $165,000,000.
Cotton $94,230,000.
Sugar $47,000,000.
Peanuts $4,000,000,
The corn-hog total may vary ac
cording to the number of signers,
An official estimate on tobacco bciv
cflt payments also is delayed for
this reason. However, reduction In
acrcege removal for this year indi
cates the benefit will be below the
1034 total of $16,962,277 and a con
serve f ive rough estimate Is said to
be $10,000,000.
Cost of the AAA from Its incep
tion until the start of this year was
$733,983,535, Administrator Chester
C. Davis said. But of this amount
only $36,184,780 was for administra

in rental and benefit payments to
producers and purchases of sur
pluses.

JAMES DRYDEN
POULTRYMAN DIES
Corvallis, Feb. 7 P Word of the
death of James Dryden, world fam
ous poultry scientist and for 14
years head of the Oregon State col
lege poultry department, has been
received here. For the past If! years
Dryden has been In the commercial
poultry breeding business in Mod s
to, Cal., where he died.
It was under Dryden s leader&nlp
that the state college here de
veloped In 1913 the world's first hen
with an official record of more than
300 eggs in a year. A few years later
he developed the world's first hen
to lay 1000 eggs In a lifetime. These
records, first scoffed at by 'experts '
elsewhere, later became the basis of
breeding developments that have
made such high production com
monplace.
Until Dryden's time all breeding
work In poultry was toward perfec
tion of plumage and other external
characteristics. His work became
the foundation for the present $10,-
000,000 Oregon egg Industry which
competes for markets 3,000 miles
distant.

STOCKS GO IIP
DESPITE LACK
OF ACTIVITY
New York, Feb. 7 (IP) Stocks,
bonds and commodities reversed
their recent trend today and turned
upward without pickup In trading.
The advance In stocks, however,
did not get under way until the list
had sagged enough to bring the In
dustrial average into new low
ground for the year, the railroad
average to a new low since 1933, and
the utility average to a new low
since 1932. The last came within
2-100ths point of its record low.
The market opened barely chang
ed on the average. Some issues reg
istered Uth point decline and an
equal group gains of that amount
while a long list was unchanged
from the previous close.
The subsequent decline was of
small proportions but Inasmuch as
the averages closed at their lows
little selling was required to break
through those levels.
First group to recover was the
railroad. That section had been the
heaviest loser since the supreme
court began its open hearings on
the gold clause cases.
From that time to the low today
the Dow-Jones railroad average de
clined by 15 per cent while the In
dustrial and Utility averages were
down 5 per oent and B per cent re
spectively. New demand came into the gold
and silver mining issues. Utilities
firmed. American Telephone firmed
in the communication section and
so did Western Union.
Steels picked up on assertions the
operating rate was not now expect'
ed to decline, although it might
level off.
Sales today approximately 520.000
shares compared with 560,000 shares
yesterday. Curb sales were 117,000
shares compared with 137,000 shares
yesterday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
averages showed Industrial 100.94 tip
u.70. Kan road 32.25 up 0.46. Utility
16.70 up 0.06.
APPLE-PEAR QUOTA
MAY BE INCREASED
Paris. Feb. 7 iPi A further In
crcafc in the United States quota of
apples and pears was said to be
probable.
French importers have asked the
government to add most, of he re
maining unaligned quotas of ap.
proximately 300,000 bushels to the
United States, which Is the only na
tion able to send good apples
promptly.
The government. Increased the
quota for the first quarter of 103.1
over that of the previous year, but
importers said the. market will be
able to absorb much more because
no European countries have apples
to sell, and Chile is too far distant
to send additional fruit during this
quarter.
GROWERS DEMAND
BERRY CODE CHANGE
Albany, Or, Feb. 7 Linn county
strawberry growers want a change
in the strawberry code or no code
at all, it was learned following sev
eral meetings of growers this week.
At Albany yesterday 33 growers
were present; at Lacomb there were
49 and at Sweet Home 21. The last
meeting of the series was held Wed'
nesday night at Lebanon.
Growers have expressed dlscon.
tent with the present code on the
ground that It discriminates against
the - growers and that last year It
handicapped them materially in
disposal of their berries.
It was learned that picking was
stopped In the midst of the season
last year among growers whose ber
ries were destined to be barrelled
because of the quantity limit of the
barrel pack, as designated by the
code had been reached.
The growers alleged that they
were literally left "holding the
sack.
It was believed that a satisfactory
code could be devised before har.
vest time for berries next spring.
Continuation of
Bruno Defense
From page On
with Dr. B. M. Hudson, amateur
fingerprint expert of New York, tes
tifying three important, incriminat
ing nail holes In the ladder were not
In existence when he examined it.
The defense also sought to recall
Hlldegard Olpa. Alexander, the
Bronx dress model who testified for
the state.-that she saw Hauptmann
shadowing Dr. John F. (Jafsle)
Condon in the Bronx during the
period of the Lindbergh ransom ne
gotiations. Dr. Condon was the In
termediary for Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh.
She was- not in court. The state
had been ordered to call her back,
and the attorney general promised
to discuss the matter with the de
fense later.
Henry Uhltg. close friend of the
late Isador Flsch, gave the defense
little help In its effort to show that
Flsch. not Hauptmann, got tin 160.
000 ransom money. The defense con
tended he was a hostile witness. An
other alibi witness also testified tor
Hauptman. Walter Manley a Bronx
painter, said Hauptmann was In a
bakery In the Bronx on the evening
of March 1. 1(33, when the Lind
bergh baby was stolen more than
00 miles away at Hopewell, N. J.
The defenses plane demonstration
was given by Stanley Seal, a young
pattern maker.
The defense failed to quaiuy
Hugh Orr, an architect of Brock
ton, Mass., as a wood expert and
his examination was brief.
Charles J. De Blsechop, a con
tractor of Waterbury, Conn,' told
the court In examination of his
qualifications, that he matched

GROWERS ROUSED
BY OREGON CODE
Portland, Feb. 7 (jP) California
growers are up in arms over Ore
gon's cauliflower code, designed to
protect the Oregon Industry against
the dumping of out-of-state pro
duce.
One of the big California ship
pers has written to a Portland Job
ber to say that "this 'the Oregon
code) is a staggering blow to our
business and we feel that our busi
ness relations will come to an end,
We feel we shouldn't pay for this
holdup of 10c a crate.
"The bright idea of some of your
statesmen will place Oregon in the
class of racketeer states,' the com
munication continued. "Imagine the
nerve of a charge equal to 10 per
cent sales tax at present market
prices.
Tlie shipper observed that he was
Indeed sorry that this code com
mtttee of highway robbers c m scalp
us farmers in California."
The letter from the California
shipper concluded with the summa
tion "we close with the most bitter
feeling for your high class robbers."

give dates and days in support ol
that evidence."
Sheridan's offer was shouted at
the attorneys for Vallee who yelled
back and jumped in and out ot
huddle with the agitated crooner
Joining them for whispered consul
tation.
The frenzied scene was precipi
tated when Justice Salvatore A. Co
ttllo asked whether the California
action in which Mrs. Vallee seeks
more than $7000 a month alimony
would be dropped.
Earlier Vallee s legal battery had
succeeded In playing a record the
crooner made of a conversation be
tween his wife and her father. Chief
of Police C. E. Webb of Santa Mon
ica, Cal., just after Rudy had told
Mrs. Vallee of his suspicions con
cerning her. -
The effect of the record was dull
ed however, when all the voices ex
cept that of Mrs. Vallee proved un
intelligible. A few minutes later Justice Cot-
illo made his offer and In a mo

on his feet shouting, with the jurist
Joining in an effort to quiet them.
You're bluffing," shouted Samuel
Gottlieb of Vallee counsel.
We will make that stipulation
for the record," yelled Sheridan
We are ready to accept the court's
suggestion to drop the California
case."
Ah," retorted Gottlieb, "but you
will want large alimony and counsel
fees?"
Sheridan conferred with his asso
ciates and replied:
Well take the case without ali
mony and counsel fees. II the de
fendant's lawyers are sincere, let's
get rid ot this case and have Mr.
Vallee bring a suit for separation or
divorce.
In that way the court may deter
mine whether she Is entitled to any
allowance. Her faithfulness may be
Inquired Into. But I wish to an
nounce that Vallee s own acts or In
fldentltty will constitute . a counter
claim on the part of nil wife."
The proposal seemed to puizle
Vallee's attorneys and they came
to no agreement as Justice CotUlo
called a recess, ,

Strawberry Area
Under 170,000 Acres
Preliminary estimate of the total
strawberry acreage for picking In
1935. based on growers' reports
from various areas of commercial
production. Indicates a little less
than 170.000 acres. This Is ft de
crease of more than 14 per cent
compared with last year's harvested
acreage, and Is approximately six
per cent less than the average acre
age for the five year period 1639
1933. The severe drought during 1934
caused heavy acreage losses to both
old and new beds, especially In the
second early and intermediate
groups of states. Acreage reduc
tions ot 60 per cent for Arkansas
and 59 per cent for Missouri are the
most outstanding for these groups.
The late group of states Indicate
an acreage Increase of seven per
cent for 1935, which Is accounted
for mostly by the substantial In
crease In the strawberry acreage In
Oregon.
PLANES AID TO
WEATHER MAN
Pittsburgh OP) Willis R. Gregg,
chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau
in Washington, can lay four to one
odds on tomorrow's weather and
make a comfortable profit, he said
on a visit here. He didn't say that
he does simply that he can.
U. S. meteorologists have arrived
at a point of perfection, Gregg said,
whereby they can predict tomorrow's
rain or sunshine with 85 per cent
accuracy. By the improvement of
aerial calculating methods under ex
perimentation, that percentage will
be raised to 90 in another ten years,
he predicted.
"The chief reason we're not 100
per cent accurate is that we don't
have sufficient details on upper air
conditions," Gregg explained.
"We now have planes at 22 pointf
taking up automatic recorders to a
height of four miles. By improved
calculations of temperature and
moisture they have enabled us to
give more accurate forecasts.
More planes will be added in th
near future, he said.
PRIVILEGE DEFENSE
OFFERED BY LOr
Washington, Feb. 7 (LP) Senator
Huey P. Long, D., La., today aban
doned his attempt to escape Juris
diction of District of Columbia
courts and filed an answer to the
$800,000 libel suit brought against
him by General Samuel T. Anse,ll.
The suit grew out of a speech
mace by Long in the senate two
years ago attacking Ansell.
In his answer filed in district su
preme court. Senator Long claimed
the statements were privileged. Cop
ies of the speech, lie held, were
mailed as a "public service to the
people of Louisiana and the United
States" bl an elfort to refute a
statement made by Ansell as coun
sel for a scpatorlal committee In
quiring into the election of Senator
John H. Overton, D., La.
When he made the speech. Long
waived immunity. Most of his an
swer today, however, was centered
around "absolute privilege. '

but was the only ono advocating re
peal. An effort by Senator Walter E.
Pearson, who led the attack against
the fish measure, to make it a spe
cial order of business for Monday
afternoon failed as the fiery Astoria
senator declared that all parties had
already had plenty of opportunity
to study the bill.
Opening his fight for the bill
Franciscovich declared, "Several
people have expressed surprise at
my stand on this matter. I don't
know why. My action has always
been against fixed gear fishing.
Why should there be any exception
for fixed gears In the Columbia
when practically everywhere else
they are Illegal. The operation of
this type of fishing constitutes
monopoly because no other gear can
operate in the same water. I ask
that these gears be abolished. They
trap every type of fish, and will
destroy the fishing industry. They
are controlled exclusively by three
canneries, and control about one-
third of the catch of the river, I
want to put this question on the
ballot without lncurlng the expense
of petition, and make our laws con
form to the state of Washington."
"I came here with the greatest
majority of any member of this
body. Senator Pearson stated in
opening his attack. "I had no ax
to grind. I have not voted a selfish
vote, but I say the Columbia has
produced more salmon than any
river In the world, and I want tc
see misiness make a profit. I am
not unmindful of the fact the
sportsmen of the state support this
measure, but I submit to you that
pleasure is not to be compared with
taking bread and milk away from
the children of those who make
their living at trap and seine fish
ing. I ask that this measure be
voted down, and let the governor's
planning board delve into the in
dustry and recommend legislation
at the next session of the legisla
ture." Measures passed In the upper

BROAD ROAD IS
PLAN
Leydon (IP Highway constrnc
tion in Britain this year, it is an
nounced, will include the completion
of a broad road running from Lon
don southwestward to Southampton.
In a senre, the road already Is in
existence, but the problem 86 al
most everywhere in old settled Brit
ainis to provide swift by-passes
around the old towns whose narrow,
picturesque streets bottle up tha
through traffic as effectively as toll
gates." But these by-paraes are ex
pensive. On the seven under con
struction, or completed, on this
London-Southampton highway, to
tal expenditures will be around $7,
500,000. On this road work now Is begin
ning on a by-pass 7H miles long
around the beautiful old cathedral
town of Winchester. Most of the
way it will be 80 feet wide and it
will have one novel feature it will
be divided down the center into two
roads, so that southbound nd
northbound traffic will have to keep
each to its own channel. Engineer!
have tireed thi, and the authorities
are giving it a trial.
But. this detour illustrates what
the authorities have to contend
with, for it will involve moving a
railroad about 1000 yards, the build
ing of a new railway bridge and the
widening of four others. Total ex
penditures will be about $1,000,000.
And one curious thing is that
when the by-pars is completed and
this through traffic goes around the
town Instead of passing through it,
the local shopkeepers will increase
their sales. Tills has been the unl
vpisbI experience that by-passes
which divert the through traffic
from a town increase immediately
their sales to local tiT.de.
