SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1935 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON 8 HEWITT NOT TO PROSECUTE IN SHERIFF'S CASE Roy Hewitt, local attorney, has indicated both to Judge McMahan and District Attorney Trindle that he does not care to take over prose cution of two indictments against Sheriff Burk as asked for in a let ter by Trindle to McMahan. The district attorney stated today he will ask the judge to appoint anyone he sees fit who is qualified to try the cases and said as soon as such appointment is made the dis trict attorney will confirm it by naming him as his deputy to act In the matter. The district attorney asked for a special prosecutor in these cases be cause of a reference to the Burk matters in an order handed down by Judge McMahan disqualifying McMahan from handling the grand jury in the gambling investigation. Later Judge McMahan canceled and rescinded this order when Ralph Moody, assistant attorney general, was named as special prosecutor and he has since had charge of the grand jury in conducting such in vestigations. Judge McMahan has not as yet indicated that he would name anyone in lieu of Trindle or that he would accede in any way to the district attorney's request. The indictments against Burk, were once on trial before Judge Wil-! son who dismissed them on grounds that undue influence had been used j on the grand jury to bring the in- i dictments.

Continuation of Oregon Stone From Page One state house is ridiculous," the gov ernor declared. "As for building materials Oregon has vast quantities of marble, build ing stone and wood of all kinds that can not be surpassed in any sec tion of the world. "I believe that we should begin to get a little more Oregon minded in this state and here is a good place to make a start by building the Oregon capltol out of Oregon materials and under the supervi sion of Oregon architects." As to any PWA regulations that might interfere with this trade-at-home policy the governor felt con fident that specifications could be so prepared as to safeguard the in terests of the Oregon products. 1 REMOVAL I SALE P Prices greately reduced on Coats Dresses I Suits ij PURSES and JEWELRY SHIPLEY'S Can't Stay Out of Trouble IT" w) r "v:'.'.,'J If there's trouble around,, trust him to get Into It!

(Associat ed Press Photo) . Based on 1 TmfWv- Issue "MARCH OF TIME" EXPORTS FROM U. S. TO ITALY SHOW INCREASE (Continued from page 1) detailed figures only concerning trade with Italy and Ethiopia. These were issued in connection with the customary report on total United States trade. Details on shpiments to individual countries usually are given out sev eral days later. Raw cotton was the biggest single item on the list of exports to Italy, totaling 3,830,000 for the month, but this compared with (5,407,000 in No vember last year. Iron and steel scrap shipments, were $323,000, compared to $412,000 in the previous month and $280,000 in November, 1934. Aircraft engines and parts amounted to $106,472, which the shippers said was made up of articles not included In the em bargo against "Implements of war. The department said exports to Ethiopia were just $1034 for the month. At the time President Roosevelt banned shipments of a specific list of "Implements of war" to Italy and Ethiopia, he warned that American citizens who had any transactions with the belligerents would do so at their own risk. This view has been re-emphasized on several occasion by administration spokesmen. Whe ther oil and other "war essentials" should be added to the present em bargo is a subject expected to be a major concern of congress when It reconvenes next month Continuation of Borah's Campaign From Page One present administration. For the moment Borah's views on currency Inflation, distasteful to old guard republicanism, and his ap peals for party reorganization are being overlooked in favor of hi national reputation and the wide spread support which is rallying behind him. Many things may occur between now and the republican convene tion in June to change the po litical outlook. But there is no gainsaying the fact that at the mo ment the Borah boom Is a strong one, likely at any moment to get beyond the power even of the sen ator himself to control it. Senatorial colleagues of Borah, some of them not willing to have their names mentioned In con nection with the discussion, aaid theybeheved that if Borah won out in two or three state primaries with a rousing demonstration of public support there would be no stopping him for the republican nomination.
