OUBT CAST ON
STORY TOLD OF
MERCY KILLING
Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 21 (IP)
Itie "confession" of a 79-year-old
doctor that he put a hopelessly In
jured man to death developed sharp
controversy today, not only on the
whole subjeot of "mercy killings'
bat on the question of whether the
doctor actually had ended a life as
he asserted.
Dr. Myron A. Warrlner, skeptics to
the contrary, insisted that 48 years
ago, when he was just three years
out of.-.Harvard Medical school, he
put to death with an overdose of
morphine one Adolphus Le Tour
neau, of North Brookfield, Mass.
Le Tourneau had been mangled by
shot-gun charge.
(But in North Brookfield, his
jry was challenged by Le Tour-
rau's daughters and by Dr. Em-
k.son A. Ludden, 74, who uvea
kere when Dr. Warrlner was prac
ticing In the Massachusettes town
fl887.
"1 doubt whether. Dr. Warrlner
treated my father at any time,"
aid Miss Elmlra Le Tourneau. "My
father was shot accidentally by his
wn shot gun while hunting. The
tfharge struck-him in the face and
diets penetrated his brain.
"He was treated by Dr. warren
tier and not by Dr. Warrlner. The
hots disfigured his face and he was
.Suffering pretty badly. We knew it
J fas only a matter of time. He died
. ' bout 48 hours later."
J i Dr. Warrlner was irritated by the
Bourns cast on nis "comession." as
Insisted Le Tourneau had not died
naturally, but that his life had been
ended mercifully by the doctor
Administration.
:i He asserted he "would do the sami
; 'hing today" in incurable cases and
nid he was convinced many doc
1 ilors felt likewise and were hypro-
Jjlritlca lln public statements con
."Jcmning "mercy killings."
f Most of Dr. Warriner's colleagues
inhere denounced his views.

ROOSEVELT SENDS
TRADE MESSAGE
Houston. Tex., Nov. 21 (IP) Presi
dent Roosevelt advocated a reduc
tion of excessive trade restrictions
and commercial relations on a non
discriminatory basis In a message to
the National Foreign Trade Council
v.'hlch neared the end of Its annual
convention yesterday.
More than 400 representatives of
world commerce and business heard
Mr. Roosevelt's message read by A.
D. Simpson, Houston banker. It said
in part:
"The only practicable way to as
sure American trade of protection
against injurious trade barriers in
foreign countlres is to join in with
these countries in a concerted ef
fort to reduce excessive trade re
strictions and to re-establish com
mercial relations on a non-discriminatory
basis. .
"This is the kernel of the Am
erican trade agreements program."
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
also sent a message of greeting to
the council. He said the American
trade policy was to substitute the
instruments of commercial peace for
those of commercial warfare "and
thus provide an important element
in the maintenance of peace itself."

CHAMBER AT RENO
HAS TOUGH TIME
Reno. Nev., Nov. 21 (IP) The poor
Reno chamber of commerce Is
catch-all for all the goofy ideas
the world in general has about the
mythical Reno of magazines and
movies.
One principal bit of folklore that
the chamber has to repudiate is
that comely grass widows lounge on
street corners, looking for a man
on whom they can squander their
fortunes.
Applications for "contacts" with a
wealthy and beautiful or sometimes
just wealthy widow from lonely
gentlemen usually draw a polite and
firm denial from the chamber that
it is a matrominial agency.
Certified English

Oregon City Orval Wilson of Can
by will be the first Clackamas coun

rye- grass seed. Through County

is an annual.

WATER SURVEY
PLAN OF BOARD
A comprehensive survey of water
resources of western states, m
which the Oregon State planning
board has been asked to take a
prominent part, will be made by th
National Resources committee, ac
cording to word received here from
V. B. Stanberry, Portland, consult
ant to the national committee and
executive secretary of the Oregon
Board.
Tile Marlon county planning board
of which August Huckestein, Salem,
is chairman, will be requested to
cooperate in the survey. Anyone in
this county who has facts and fig
ures that might not be readily avail
able to the state board, or who has
suggestions on development or im
provement of water resources, Is ask-
to get In touch with the county
chairman who will forward the in
formation to Mr. Stanberry.
The request to gather data on
water resources of Oregon was made
by Brent S. Drane, secretary of
the water resources committee of
the national organization, and the
work will be done here Immediately
by C. E. Strlcklin, state engineer,
and Mr. Stanberry. .
The survey will furnish Informa
tion on general characteristic basin
within the state, including water
supply, topography, soil, forest cov
er and extent of ground resources,
as a basis for planning future pro
jects. Other details requested on
Oregon Include present and pros
pective consumptive needs for wa
ter, additional water conservation
work now planned or desireable,
what changes are needed in exist
ing laws or administrative proced
ure to permit and protect stability
of existing water righto, and what
principles or procedure should be
adopted to settle controversies over
interstate water rights.
"The water resources of the wes
tern states control the development
of those states," the request points
out. "The available water supply
limits the number of people who ca,i
live there and the industries which
can prosper. -Only by a-coordinated
and long range , administration of
available - water supply will it b?
possible to effect the maximum de
velopment of the western third of
the United States."
