OREGON MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1935 10 s s ca Eh in at ie K tr 1c hi cc G U tc le A p: P tl cl KERR PENSION STIRS WRATH OF LEGISLATOR Higher education may suffer al Uic forthcoming special legislative session unless the state board im mediately revokes the $6000 annual retirement pay recently voted Chan cellor W. J. Kerr, Mrs. Hannan Martin, Marion county rcprcsenta live, warned today. Mrs. Martin addressed a public letter to Willard Marks. Albany, board chairman, registering a "firm protest" against the pension. The Board's action was "unwar ranted and unjustified," the legis Jator charged. "I appreciate the long and valued service of Chancellor Kerr in the development of education In Ore eon." Mrs. Martin wrote. "However 1 believe that the retirement salary was unwarranted and unjustified. Such a pension is discriminatory It is an unwarranted and unreasona ble burden on the taxpayers of Ore gon. It is against public policy." Reminding the board that it ask ed for and received additional mon ey from the last legislature, th house member remarked that "if the board has sufficient sums to grant such a largo retirement pen sion to a man who has been so lib erally rewarded by the state, one would draw the conclusion that you board has more funds available than it needs." Mrs. Martin denied she wrote as a captious critic of higher education, but maintained that "If and when the board embarks on a retirement plan, it should apply to all alike without discrimination and wunoui favor."

HUGO PICTURED AS WINE LOVER Paris (IP) Various anecdotes about Victor Hugo have come to light upon the occasion of the cere monies being held in connection with the 50th anniversary of his death. An article in the "Revue des Bolssons" has been dedicated to the "wine life" of the French poet. In the latter part of his life he was considered a great epicure and great connoisseur of wines. He de veloped the appetite and love of wine as compensation for the fru gality of his early youth, when he and his brother Abel lived for 18 months on 800 francs, which amounted to about $140 at that lime. The article in the wine Jour nal states that one veal cutlet last ed the brothers for three mid-day meals, although at night they al lowed themselves a 15-ccnt supper of soup, two principal dishes, des sert, bread and a decanter of wine. After enduring deprivations In his boyhood, he developed an enormous appetite, and when dining for the first time with a frienci was compli mented for his hearty appreciation of the food and wine. Hugo answer ed with candor: "I am a little embarrassed on this occasion, but I will eat and drink very well when I know you better." He was said to be given to strong liquor, but this review refutes that story and recounts that three 300 liter barrels of rum arrived from ; Martinique in his name. The con-1 Fignment was for another Victor Hugo, but before this person made himself known at the cistoms house, the author had in good faith ex changed the rum for bottles of Bur gundy wine. In the Intier part of his lite the j writer wns forced to cut down a bit on both food and wine, and develop-1 cd simplicity in his tastes. He drank wine without water until his declin-' Ing years, and then gave preference to Bordeaux wines, which he said, would enable him to reach his 100th birthday. Finally, the French author who composed a norm on the spot when the composer Gouzlen offered an old bottle of Greclon vintage, cut down to extreme simplicity. In his last days he expressed a peculiar hankering for mutton accompanied by a sing lr glass of wne at a meal. Canada not to Match U.S. Fraction Coins Otlflwa. Out.

HOOVER REPLIED TO BY ROBINSON Washington, Aug. 12 (P) Amid disagreement ' whether Herbert Hoover seeks presidential nomina tion, Senator Robinson, the demo cratic leader, answered the former president's challenge to the new deal today with a declaration that one administration aim is "to over come the drastic effects of Hoover policies." The Hoover statement, saying President Roosevelt should reveal "what changes this administration proposes in the constitution" before congress adjourns, was a major topic among the legislators. Some republicans agreed with Robinson it showed the ex-presl dent was a candidate for another term, but Representative Tread way, (R,, Mass.), commented "half the people are against the new deal, and they aren't all candidates." "Roosevelt objectives have been clear from the beginning," said Robinson. "One has been to over come the drastic effects of Hoover policies; another, to Improve per manently living conditions and op portunitics for the people general ly." UTILITY ORDERED TO PAY FEE ON BONDS The Northwestern Electric com pany will be required to pay the prescribed $5,500 fees to the public utilities commissioner for its exten sion of a $10,000,000 bond issue re quested last year, Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle ruled here today. The opinion held that under the 1933 law which gave the utilities commissioner power of securities is sues and prescribed fees, that the Northwestern company must pay for the new Issue, Inasmuch as it had not previously paid any fee. The original Issue was granted prior to the 11)33 law. Frank C. McColloch, utilities com missioncr, stated the same ruling would be applicable to the recent extension of the securities issue for the Portland General Electric com pany, In the amount of $8,000,000.

SAN FRANC SCO ,l2. oo imo '191 LOS ANGELES sinoo onso TRAVEL HEAVY ML JEFFERSON FOREST AREA The Breitcnbush-Olallie lakes dis trict located along the Skyline road Just north of Mt. Jefferson and opened to travel to Willamette val ley motorists late last fall through the construction of a forest road, is rapidly becoming a vacation ground for Salem residents. However, it will not become popular with "pave ment" motorists due to the winding and steep character of the Inst eight miles of road beyond Brcttcnhush Springs. Travel from the north is becom ing comparatively heavy, Portland tourists entering the district via the Mt. Hood highway to Bear Springs and thence south through Clacka mas meadows. More than 45 persons were registered at the Breitcnbush Lake camp ground Saturday night and Sunday, many of them Being Chemeketans who were en route to Jefferson park for their annual outing. The meadows to the south of Breitcnbush lake arc huge flower gardens at this time, thousands of Indian paint brush, both white and purple heather and many other va rieties of flowers being in full bloom. There is considerable snow in the higher elevations and as a result the nights arc cold, frost being ex perienced early Sunday morning of this week. In Jefferson park where the Obsidians of Eugene arc camp ed, ice forms each night. Fishing, at least over the week end, was extremely poor and It is evident many of the smaller lakes have never been slocked. What few eastern brook trout were caught were small. The distance to the Breitcnbush lake forest camp from Salem is ap proximately 83 miles and f om Gates on up the Santiam river to Detroit and thence up the Breitcn bush is in fair condition, although the narrow stretch from Niagara to Detroit is probably in the poorest shape it has ever been in. From Breitenbush Hot Springs for lour miles up the north fork of the river the new road wanders through a dense forest of fir, hemlock and cedar and is particularly attractive The last eight miles, however, is through rocky country and although the road is perfectly safe for the ordinary driver, loose rocks and dust make the travel rather disagreeable. Second gear work is necessary occa sionally for the average car. The forest camp at Breitenbush lake is well situated although drink ing water must be carried a dis tance of almost a quarter mile. Wa ter in the lake is suitable for cook ing purposes. ! MRS. J. A. CHURCHILL DIES IN PORTLAND Portland, Ore., Aug. 12 (A1) Mrs. Inez Churchill, 58, wife of J. A.
