Mistaken Judgment Undertaking; to interpret Senator McNary's recent state, ment that improvement of the Pacific highway to modern standards, as Oregon's link of the projected international motor artery, is the most important highway job in the state today, the Oregon Journal exempts to exempt the Wolk Creek shortcut from Portland to the sea from the senator's catalog of projects of lesser importance. In defense of its pet project the Journal asserts that the state highway commission would be justified in concentrat ing all possible money and materials upon completion of the uncompleted 17 mile section of the Wolk creek road as a service and convenience to half a million people. What the Journal does not say is that such a concentra tion of the state's highway building resources would be at the expense of the orderly development of the rest of the state, and discrimination against roads of far greater eco nomic importance and abandonment of the highway commis sion's sound policy of allocating road monies in relation to actual and indicated traffic demands. , Except to provide a free means of transportation for log ging operators who are already denuding the roadside along mat portion 01 me roaa aireany duui, tne won creeK snort-1 Pni-flanrI Inlv rt tr Ti j r tu u cut will serve no commercial end.

Welcome Stations Instead of treating the automobile tourist as a suspected rminal and searching his baggage on entrance to the state. and confiscating any fruit in his possession under suspicion that he might import fruit pests as California does. Gover nor Martin has decided to welcome the visitors in the name of Oregon, give them any requested information on the state and its highways and supply them witM literature regarding its scenic wonders. Greeters at the state line will be state police officers, un der direction of the highway commission and Chief of Police Pray. The tourists will be made to feel at home, shown every courtesy, and hospitably assisted by a hospitable state. California's absurd inspection stations are a complete essay in futility. They were established during the scare some years ago, over the mythical Mediterranean fruit fly, which infests European citrus groves. A fake emergency was created. There has never been such a fly found in Cali fornia, for they cannot live except in tropical or semi-tronical climates. As for other orchard or plant pests, California al ready has them all, and has stocked the entire country with them, having imported them from distant regions when the importing was good. , The inspection idea was seized upon by politicians to provide easy jobs for their rapidly growing bureaucracy, and supported by the fruit industry of southern California to pro tect its citrus fruit monopoly by excluding Florida and other oranges, grape fruit and lemons. If other states followed the same fcelfish and greedy policy and barred California pro ducts, where would the golden state find the markets for her fruit? Irony of Fate When Max Schmeling unexpectedly defeated Joe Louis in the ring, his victory was hailed by Herr Hitler as the crowning triumph of the Nordic and Aryan racial superior ity, and he was saluted as a national nazi hero. All this in spite of the fact that Schmeling had received no word of en couragement before the battle, hut had been censured for tackling the supposed invincible "Black Bomber" and there by disgracing the nation. So something of the Irony of fate is seen in the fact that negro athletes head the American contestants at the Olympic games, which fact must shock der Fuehrer as badly as if dis pised Jews won the Olympic finals. Perhans it was the heat of a hlazing summer sun that enabled some of these sons of the tropics to win the final trymitu against record holders, but whatever the cause, all of the victors have fairly won their laurels and been victors in many fields. Of Jessie Owens' ability there can be no question, for he Is i record holder in his own right and easily won the 100 and 200 meter runs as well as the broad-jump. Cornelius John son and Dave Albritlos set a new record for the high jump. Archie Williams won the 400 meter test. John Woodruff the 800 meter artist. After 800 meters, the whites took over the racing events. Whether the best American bets can do as well in the moister and cooler atmosphere of Germany as under the tor rid sun of a New York drought spell, remains to be seen, but the chances are good for a humbling of absurd nnzi pride. .s Ine home stretch this week wit h nn nhiinrlunyio aF inn didates. predictions of victories and uncertainty for all The democratic committee meets first next Saturday afternoon, while the republicans go into a huddle a week from today.

The screen test, in fact, would seem to be discredited If the plight of the average assistant cameraman were recognized as a criterion. According to Fred Waller, east ern producer of short subject for Paramount, the cameraman's help- is trie most scretn-tested per son In the world. An assistant may oe pnotograpned as often as 60,000 times In a year. Often when his professional life comes to a close the helper may retire with such camera debuts reaching the million mark, yet leaving him unknown to the masses who pay to see others with far less practical experience perform. In the subjects which he produces in the Astoria. L. I . rtudlo, Waller estimates an assistant appears be fore the camera between 200 and 300 times, despite the fact that these pictures are limited to one and two reels. - In the 20 years which he has de voted to the picture business Waller cannot recall a single case where a cameraman's helper was elevated m the role of actor aa the result of such screen tests. Preceding every scene the assist ant atands before th camera with what Is called a "take" card num bering the scene. The average scene I runs about 100 feet. But the pro ducer, director and film editor are so busy taking care of their own Jobs that the assistant cameraman's personal register on the screen In variably passes unnoticed. race bore the earmarks of a battle, with Chairman Arthur Prlaulx, of Chiloquin, announcing over the week-end that he would seek re election over the desire of some In fluential Portlanders for a new leader.

McColloch said he believed the party organization "has degenerated into a cat-and-dog fight over Jobs,' with the situation centered "chiefly' in Multnomah county. He said clean-up was needed. In the republican picture besides Prlaulx. were Walter Tooze, chair man of the recent Oregon national convention delegation and Portland lawyer, who said he would decide upon his attitude toward the cam paign of his friends "If the necessity arises."

WHO WROTE POETRy. 5EHT A CRITIC TO "WE CHAIN-6AM6 FOR CAUm HIM A BAD POET Washington, July 13 The spirit ot President Roovelt's social dem ocrats here has perked up consid erably since the 4 drought. Most of jthem seem to actually gleeful, on the side. They sjcall It "one of those Roosev e 'Jbreaks of luck.' In their Inter. p r e t a 1 1 o n. the situation has pro vided Mr. Roose velt with an op- PAIX MALLON W "' way nu cam paign wares in the best possible light. For example, the rural resettle ment administration of Prof. Tug well was dying on its feet. It was being soft-pedaled to a consider able extent; its publicity force was recently dismantled: Tugwell .was being kept In hiding from the pub lic sight. Few of Mr. Roosevelt's social democrats were sufficiently social to want to defend it or Tug- well on their record of achieve ment. Since the drought, Mr. Roosevelt has resuscitated both Tugwell and resettlement. Rushed them for ward as one of the most Important federal activities. He has care fully outlined at every opportunity the work they will do In removing afflicted farmers to water and more productive enterprise elsewhere. The emergency has thus turn ished justification and use for an enterprise which was being carried on the new deal books as a llabil ity. Note Another buried bureau which the drought similarly brought forth from the grave Is the com modity credit corporation. Cheer A contributing factor In the new glee Is the Oklahoma pri mary results. The surprising show ing of Congressman Lee In the sen atorlal race was gratifying because he went down the line for every thing Mr. Roosevelt wanted in his congresional term. No less pleasing were the results showing the Townsendite polled only a fraction of the tout number of democratic votes and the votes cast in the republican primary were not comparable to the demo cratic total. Grooming Postmaster General Farley's selection of Representative Sam Reyiurn as chairman of the democratic speakers bureau had more .behind It than the choice of a speaker master who knows the ropes. Democratic congressmen recog nized it aa a move to build up Mr. Rayburn In the event he decides to seek either the speakership or the majority leadership of the house at the next session. Vice President Oarner is believed to have had something to do with It- Mr. Rayburn, In his new party Job. will be In close contact throughout the campaign with dem. ocratio candidates for congress who will elect the next speaker and floor leader. It is an excellent move for him because he has not been much In the public eye lately. Note Four years ago Mr. Taney named , Representative John McDuf fie to an Important post at demo cratic headquarters. McDuffie was then Garner's candidate for the speakership. McDuffie handled con gressional phases of the campaign more or less overlapping the activ ities of the regular congressional phases of the campaign, more or leas overlapping the activities of the regular congressional campaign committee appointed by the house leaders. The move, however, was not successful, as he lost the speak ership contest. Jump The score on political pro paganda Is now: Democrats 84, re publicans 8. You can confirm the totals with the latest copies of the congression al record, an adding machine and little patience. Il la customary at the end of con gressional sessions for the poliu clans to pack that official tran script of house arid senate proceed ings with all kinds of speech mak ing material. This year several sup plements of the record have been Issued sdlnca congress expired and debate necessarily closed. More are coming. But so far, .14 of the RP published pages have been occupied with all those speeches delivered at he Philadelphia national conven mn. together with political state ment by Senatora Robinson and Hayden. Republicans slipped in five pages nf their competing propagan da, while the other thirty pages went to small fry congressmen. who published personal boosts for themselves and their causes. Only one congressman used the space for the laudable purpose of setting lorth his full voting record on ev ery important item of legislation since ne was elected. Note The congressional record so highly favored because reprints 01 it can be mailed free to all the 38.000.000 votera and their friends. Thanks The reason Oeneral Farley has such a kindly feeling to ward senator Borah la because Mr. Borah Was one of the few republi can senators who voted against Huey. Long's resolution for an in vestigation of Farley last year. TORTURER OF VICE WITNESS HELD KNOWN Continued from page 1) by police early Sunday after a tele. pnone operator heard a weak call for help over the wire, was at the District of Columbia women's bu reau today, suffering considerable pains from the cuts on her right tnign ana aodomen. Washington and New York detec tives were checking every detail of her story that the killer entered her apartment early Sunday, felled her witn a blow to the face, tore off her nightgown, cut her with a razor sharp instrument, then bound her and stalked out after turning on the gas. The girl herself was the first to point out that the "C L" carved in letters four Inches tall on her right thigh were the initials ot Luciano, recently sentenced to 30 to SO years in sing Sing as the leader of organ ized vice in New York. She also call ed attention to the fact that "3-12" stands for the position of those Ini tials In the alphabet. The girl said that, some weeks ago. Luciano's representatives approach ed her In New York. She said they wanted her to sign her name to an article.

' MUSICIAN OF NOTE PLAYS FOR INSTITUTIONS Bob Gooding, known throughout a large part of the world as "The Wandering Minstrel." and who de votes his talent and his means to making life brighter for the unfor tunate, is in Salem for a series of appearances before state Institu tions and clubs Son of an English soldier, Gen eral sir Robert Gooding, he was reared In a military atmosphere and was once a soldier of fortune.

He served similarly with Vic tor Herbert, and has played before King George and Queen Mary of England.

It is estimated that he has given away more than $1.- 000,000. for once he was in the "big money." Money is no lure to him personally, and now he thumbs his way about the country, going, as he says "from hospital cot to asylum."
