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rescinded this order when Ralph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.

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.

to goodness whiskers growing right
out of his face. He talked to me and

CLASS 2:
Dear Santa Claus editor:
I believe in Santa because Christ
mas without a Santa Just would
not be any Christmas. My Idea of a
good Santa Claus Is one who will
hunt poor little boys and girls that
are really in need and bring them
lots of good things to eat and wear.
And that is Just what Santa
Claus did to me last year and that
is why I believe in Santa Claus. I
am 11 years old.
Alfred Scharback
Dear Santo Claus Editor:
I believe in Santa. Claus because
when I go to bed my mother and
daddy go to bed the same time.
When I get up in the morning I
find Just what I wanted. That is
why I believe In Santa Claus. And
besides I hear him over the radio
and see his pictures in the paper.
Mother and Daddy have told me
about Santa Claus when they were
a boy and girl. I am nine years
old. My name Is
Dolores Deweese.

EXPORTS FROM

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

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.
