THE CAPITAL JOURNAU, SALEM. OREGON
CONVICTION OF
BARNES UPHELD
BY HIGH COURT
The first degree murder convic
tion of James T. Barnes on appeal
from Deschutes county was affirmed
by the state supreme court today
in an opinion written by Justice
John Rand. Barnes was sentenced
to life Imprisonment.
The defendant was charged with
murder of Knute Lunden in the
letter's home five miles from La
Pine April 29. 1934. The opinion
stated there were no eye witnesses
to the killing and that Barnes ad
mitted the crime but claimed to
. have acted In self defense. The
Jury recommended life imprison
ment. The appeal was made on the
grounds the lower court errert in
denying the Jury the right to view
the scene of the crime at the
i opening of the trial, and that
when it did view the scene at the
close there was Insufficient room
4 and that by the separation of the
jury the defendant was "deprived
of a substantial right."
The opinion held the court had
not erred in these respects and that
"under defendant's own testimony,
the defendant was the aggressor
and could have avoided the affray,
Judge T. E. J. Duffy presided at
the trial.
In the only other written onin
ion handed down today the court
denied the application of Malka
Bestal for stay of proceedings re
garding the custody of a minor
child resulting from divorce decree
granted from Fred Bestal. The
case was appealed from Multnomah
county.
Orally the court dented petitions
for rehearing in the cases of the
United States National Bank vs.
Rawson. and Euppert vs. Hoyt. The
motion to stay the mandate of the
court affirming the conviction of
Bames for assault and battery
during the waterfront strike in
Portland last summer was also de
nied. fourTRjured

highly successful adult education
project, and to learn personally of
mining conditions.
She is accompanied by Dr. Clar

Bellaire by Miss Lorena Hickok,
chief investigator for the federal
emergency relief administration.
Mrs. Roosevelt has been in the
mines before, but not since her
husband became president.
She is unafraid of the supersti

mines that a mine is doomed if a
woman enters it. That superstition,
it was said, does not prevail in Ohio.
She knows mines in Europe and
America in which women and "even
girl children" have worked.
She has for many years taken an
active interest in improving housing
and living conditions among miners.
She has visited shacks and tents in
which miners live, and has seen
"company houses."
One of her major interests has
been in the re-establishment of Job
less miners in new homes and pro
viding them new jobs on federal
homestead projects.

ranges from $19 to $94 a month.
Ickes Indicated theie might be a
change In hours worked on PWA
projects.
I think the PWA wage will cer
tainly be maintained on permanent
structures such as buildings and
bridges," he said, "but hours will
depend upon whether we have to
work on double shifts. '
He added the existing 30-hour
week on PWA projects might be
continued, or "we might have to go
to 40 hours (the baste number of
hours fixed In the schedule an
nounced yesterday by President
RoosevelU."
Ickes indicated he would favor
Increasing the amounts donated by
the federal government toward non.
federal PWA projects, as demand by
the United States conference of
mayors.
"I expect to prepare a recommen
dation, which will be general in
character, and submit it to the pres
ident today," he said.
Asserting that he feared "great
social unrest" would spring from the
work relief wage rates President
Roosevelt has fixed, president Wil
11am Green of the American Feder-
atlon of Labor, said he had called
federation leaders to 9 session today
to decide on a course of action.
"Inequitable" and "unsound" were
some of the adjectives Oreen flung
at the wages which will apply on
much of the $4,000,000,000 works pro
gram. The wages will range from a
low of $19 a month to 9 high of $94,
depending on the type of labor and
the locality.
"I am very much afraid," Green
said, "that great social unrest will
result from these widely varying
rates. There is certain to be discon
tent and I would not be surprised
If lt led even to widespread strikes
among relief workers."
Approval of the wage schedule
cleared the way for letting con
tracts, or proceeding with "force ac
count" construction under govern
mental direction, on the $1,091,000,
000 In projects recommended to the
president last week by the allot
ments 'committee.
The wages, however, will not ap
ply to an important group of pro
jects. Work on highway, streets and
grade crossings elimination, which
are slated to receive $500,000,000, Is
not affected, but will continue to be
governed by state highway depart
ment regulations. The public works
administration will keep Its prevail
ing wage and present wages will
continue to be paid those now at
work under the relief administra
tion until they are absorbed in the
new program. Prevailing wages are
to be paid on federal building con
struction. Also, the clvl)iiis conservation
corps, whose net increase of 300,000
is counted as part of the 3,500,000
job goal, is not affected.
Subject to a maximum 10 per
cent change by Harry L. Hopkins,
whose works progress administra
tion prepared the wage schedule, it
will apply, however, to all other
work activity.
Ickes announced he had appoint
ed PWA state engineer?, acting state
directors, and that he had transfer
red 159 attorneys, engineers, and fi
nance examiners to PWA headquar
ters in the states.
He insisted that "no new govern
ment Jobs were created as the de
centralization was accomplished
through transfer of personnel from
the legal, finance and engineering
divisions."
Officials said in some states PWA
engineers would be made permanent
directors and In larger states new
directors would be appointed later.
Personnel of the "little PWA" set
up In the states, which will be di
rected by state engineers named to
day as acting PWA ttate directors,
included:
Oregon: Legal, Edward C. Kcllv.

DESCHUTES CLAIMS
LIVES OF 5 CYGNETS
Bend, Ore., May 21 (IP) The Des
chutes river had claimed the lives
of five baby swans today, leaving
only three survivors in a family of
eight hatched on the river below the
Mirror pond. The cygnets were
swept over a diversion dam spillway
by the swift river.
Two badly bruised cygnets were
rescued from the river by Mrs. M. E.
Simpson, who gave first aid and
planned to restore the little birds
to their parents today. The parent
swans guarded the lone cygnet re
maining In their care. No trace of
the five victims has been found.
Plans for the construction of a
pen In which the little swans can
be placed until old enough to fend
for themselves are being consid
ered. Estimates place the amount spent
by tourists in Italy this year at
$150,000,000.

RAISE IN PAY
FOR TEACHERS
BRINGS DEBATE
An increase of six per cent In the
basis wage of teachers, department
heads and administrative and su
pervision costs were responsible for
the bulk of more than two hours of
discussion Monday night when
members of the Salem school board
met to review the tentative budget
as outlined' and presented by Su
perintendent Gatser. The controver
sial subjects were sidetracked tem
porarily, but it Is likely they will
come up for further discussion
when a somewhat revised budget Is
presented later for perusal by the
directors and the committee of tax
payers. The budget as presented Monday
night constitutes a financial outlay
approximately $15,000 less than the
previous one, most of the savings
being effected by a decrease in in
terest rates of warrants and notes
and smaller payments on the bond
indebtedness.
Stating, that he was viewing the
budget from a "taxpayer's stand
point," Director Pound questioned
the advisability of an increase in
salaries at this time. He declared
the combined cost of supervision
and administration was out of pro
portion to the total budget. He was
backed up by Director Bradfield
who thought the principals could
coordinate their schools without
any supervision from supervisors or
department heads. The latter art
paid $300 each in excess of the reg
ular Instructor.
Mounting costs of supplies and
the low point to which stocks have
dwindled in the system accounts for
added expense this year. In a num
ber of instances "miscellaneous'

which are not now foreseen.
The hiring of a remedial room in
structor, an item not included in
last year's budget, was warmly
championed by Chairman Wright,
who said lt would be a good invest
ment.
It is likely the budget will come
in for further discussion next Tues
day night when all of the directors
will be present.
WOMEN TO ASK FOR

Mrs. W. H. Nicholson, president.
of the Oregon Federation of Wo
men's clubs, and Mrs. W. W. Gabri
el, first vice-president, both of
Portland, would make the trip. They
would go direct to Mrs. Roosevelt
on the theory that many women
would be employed in flax plants
and the first lady of the land might
help Interest the president in aiding
tho Industry In the state. Mayor
Carson of Portland met with the
clubwomen and the board here.
President Roosevelt was once
greatly interested in Oregon's flax
possibilities, but now needs "re-scll-Ing."
Mrs. Gabriel said. She said the
president had changed his attitude
on flax through a "misunderstand
ing." Will P. Llpman, whom Mrs
Gabriel did not name, was reported
to have had federal money promised
for Oregon, but the plans never ma
terialized. In a recent month Canada ex.
ported nearly $3,500,000 worth of au.

GRANGE GRILLS
LEADERS' ACTS
Governor Martin today made pub
lic a resolution of the Eagle Creek
grange objecting to the state grange
executive committee's action In sup
porting Walter E. Baei of Portland
in his fight against deportation to
Germany.
Baer, who has served two terms
in the state penitentiary and one
stretch in the Idaho prison, was
marked by United States Immigra
tion authorities for deportation as
an undesirable alien. Baer appealed
to Governor Martin for a pardon to
restore civil rights and evade de
portatlon. The governor refused to
pardon him after a hearing attend
ed by such grange and liberal lead
ers as State Master Rav M. Gill, Dr.
Albert Slaughter and Senator Peter
Zimmerman.
The governor addressed the Eagle
Creek grange last Saturday. The
group's resolution, copies of which
were given out by Martin's office
this morning, was dated last Thurs
day.
"We insist that In the future our
state grange executive committee
concern itself only wltn those things
that are of vital Interest to agricul
ture," the resolution read. "There
Is nothing In the record of Walter
E. Baer that would Indicate that he
has ever been, or could ever be, of
service to the agricultural interests
of the state of Oregon or the Ore
gon State grange, but on the con
trary, If we, a farmers' organiza

of this kind, lt can only bring criti

JOHNSON ASKS
NRA EXTENSION
FOR TWO YEARS
Washington, May 21 (IP) KM
NRA rather than give It but a nine
months' extension of life, General
Hugh S. Johnson told a radio audi
ence last night.
"It would be far better to kill
NRA now," he said. "That would
at least remove uncertainty. To
leave lt in barely tolerated exist
encea nightmare 'life-ln-death'
still threaded through the whole
fabric of business, would be deadly.
Yet to kill lt outright might pro
duce the worst business setback
since 1932."
The former NRA admlnistrator'a
appeal for the life of his "baby"
was eloquent. If NRA goes down,
so does a large part of the new deal.
The interests, he charged, had at
tacked NRA "in one of the cleverest
pieces of propaganda of our times.
"I am making no estimate or pro
phecy, but lt is reasonable to sup
pose that If NRA must be sacri
ficed in order to undo what NRA
has done, then at least 3,000,000
jobs and $3,000,000,000 In wages are
at least in a danger zone."
His attack on NRA enemies was
delivered with the usual Johnsonian
fire. Persons charging NRA with
fostering monopoly are monopolists,
he said; those charging it with op
pression are oppressors; those
charging regimentation are "indus
trial martinets."
"They don't want NRA killed be
cause lt helps monopoly but because
lt checked monopoly not because lt
hurts the little fellow, but because
it saved the little fellow from their
rapacity not because It regiments
but because it interfered with their
control of every industry not be
cause it reduces real wages, but be
cause it increases them."

Kellogg's All-Bran Corrects
Constipation
An enthusiastic and voluntary
letter: "Wo have a daughter who
has been troubled all her life with
constipation. About three months
ago, we discovered All-Bran.
From that day to now we have not
given her any form of laxative.
We have become "All-Bran"
users, and now it is a part of our
daily diet. We have told many of
our friends and they, too, are get
ting results." Mr. and Mrs. L. P.
Pope, 662 Maple Ave, Elmlra.N.Y.
'Constipation due to intuffiotent
"bulli" in meals.
ALL-BRANprovides gentle "bulk"
to aid regular habits. It also fur
nishes vitamin B and iron.
The "bulk" in All-Bran is often
more effective than the "bulk" in
fruits and vegetables, as it does
not break down within the body.
Two tablcspoonfuls daily are
usually sufficient. If not corrected
this way, see your doctor.
Isn't this food much pleasantcr
and safer than risking patent med
icines? Get the rcd-and-
