Intelligence Need Wool Industry New York, Feb. 21 (LP) The great est need of the wool industry is for more intelligent merchandising, Ar thur Besse, president of the Nation- al Association of Wool Manufac turers, told the annual meeting of the association yesterday. "It la impossible to continue in definitely selling goods at a loss," Besse warned the delegates. "The Industry needs a more progressive merchandising policy and needs to resist actively thf constant pressure on the part of Its customers to cheapen Its products.

Meanwhile all packing houses af fected in the labor disputes were closed under Chief Oswalt's orders and a grand jury prepared to hear murder charges growing out of the fatal shooting of the two strikers. MELON'S WEALTH IS $97,603,005.49 Pittsburgh, Feb. 21 (IP) Andrew W. Mellon's personal wealth was revealed for the first time yester day as totaling $97,603,005.49. The figure did not include his business holdings, such as $68,000,000 in the Coalesced company, H. M Johnson, the financier's confiden tial secretary, testified at a hearing by which the federal government hopes to collect $3,000,000 additional taxes on Mellon's 1931 Income. The figures were as of Dec. 31, 1931. The figures were not concerned with Mellon s business interests gen erally, although It did include $20,. 000,000 stock in the Coalesced com pany. His interests in the Aluminum Company of America, the Gulf Re fining company, the Pittsburgh Coal company, and other such huge con cerns were not brought out, al though they long have been regard ed as dominated by the Mellon family. Johnson told the three-man sub committee of the United States board of tax appeals that Mellon netted $4,000 by two "short" sales In Westinghouse Electric and Man ufacturing company stock in March, 1931, while he was secretary of the treasury. He made $72,000 on one sale of 2500 shares, and lost $68,000 on another similar sale the same month. Inheritance Taxes Of Varied Volume Income to the state from Inher itance taxes varies widely each year, shows the report of the state treas urer. In 1930 a total of $970,050.44 was taken in from this source. The nect year It dropped to less than half, $451,575.17. In 1932 it rose sharply again to $603,135.57, then back to $417,340.81 the following year.

COUNTY SCHOOL UNIT PLAN HAS SENATE FAVOR Supporters of bouse bill No. 4, the county unit plan (or school government, gained the initial and major victory toward Its passage in the senate yesterday, as the min ority committee report, favoring the bin, was substituted for the un favorable majority report by a vote of 17 to 12. Eventual passage of the measure was virtually assured when It comes up for final vote, probably today, as it was pointed out before the roll call yesterday that a vote for the minority report was essential ly a vote for the measure itself. It was not considered unlikely, how ever, that a resumption of the heat ed debate arising on the measure would take place again. 8enator James Hazlett of Hood River, who has led the fight in the upper house for all of the admin istration measures, opened the de bate for the minority report. He compared the per capita cost for schools in Oregon with that of Utah which operates under the county unit system, stating that the cost in Utah was (71 compared to $103 in this state. "The tax rate in Hood River coun ty has been reduced since the county adopted the county system," he declared. "This plan makes for economy In purchasing of supplies, since all must be bought from one board.' "I question if this bill Is the most efficient system of operating schools," Senator Douglas McKay of Marion county stated. "Two of the counties which use it have a higher per capita cost than Marion county, which has not adopted the system. We have no quarrel with the plan but we do not want to be forced to vote on it. We have operated ef ficiently and we wish to continue to do so." Senator Isaac E. Staples of Mult nomah county declared that, "All of us, if we understood this bill, would consider it a vicious meas ure. The county unit system is an easy thing to get into, but hard to get out from under. If you vote on it and accept, you cannot vote on it again for six years, and then only after obtaining signatures of 20 per cent of the voters." Hazlett closed the argument with the declaration that "all this bunk and bosh you have advanced about the county unit system losing the community spirit has no founda tion. We have not done away with a single rural school since adopt ing the system." After the minority report had been adopted Hazlett moved that It be referred to the education com mlttee for a technical correction before taking its place on the cal endar. The senate passed the following house-approved measures: Providing that school teachers must be given a hearing before be. ing discharged and further provld lng that teachers shall be' retired at the age of 65; providing for a three-year teachers' training course instead of the present two; provld' ing more strict regulations for the sale of narcotics, and regulating the employment of firemen under a system of civil service In cities having a population of more than 5000, the question to be submitted to a vote of the people.

Waters will leave Gran ite reformatory to her successor like a "good sport."

A performance of the world-famous musical master piece, the "St. Matthew's Passion," has been announced by the Port land Symphony orchestra for the Portland public auditorium Friday night, March 8, in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the composer, Johann Seb astian Bach. The "St. Matthew's Passion," perhaps the most impos ing musical work ever attempted for performance entirely with the city's own musical resources, was first given here in the spring of 1932. So great was the desire to hear this masterpiece three years ago that two performances, each to ca pacity houses, were given. Today, two full centuries after it was first given to the world, the "St. Mat thew's Passion" stands out as one of the monumental works of su preme musical genius. Inspired by St. Matthew's chronicle of the life of the Christ, it Is said to be un excelled in all the field of devotion al music. To provide a proper medium for the performance of Bach's work, a massed chorus, including the Port land Choral society and singers from the church choirs of the city, has been assembled. The five solo ists, as before, will be recruited from among the city's leading pro fessional singers. A special boys choir likewise will augment the or chestra, the adult chorus, and the soloists. The March 8 performance will be a special added attraction of the Portland Symphony orchestra's 24th season. The orchestra's concluding regular concert of the season was given in the auditorium on Febru ary 18. Donald Mr, and Mrs. Vernon Lofgren were dinner guests Sat urday evening at the Garold Cone home.
