PLAN CLEAN-UP
OF DOCKET IN
CIRCUIT COURT
Acting on request of District At
torney Trindle who will leave that
office January 1 to be succeeded by
Lyle Page, the county clerk's office
this afternoon started preparing a
list qf the criminal cases where ar
raignments have been had and some
action Is pending, and also of the
Indictments under which arraign
ment or no action nas as yet been
forthcoming.. It is understood the
district attorney plans to move for
dismissal of many of these cases
which he deems should not be pros
ecuted further, either for lack of
evidence or some other reason, and
leave the docket to his successor with
only live cases to be handled.
It was Indicated there would be
about 75 cases to be considered am
ong those pending on which some
action has been taken and from 29
to 30 on which Indictments have
been returned but no action as yet
taken.
Some of the pending cases date
back as far as 1928 but are princi
pally cases coming up the past three
years.
The more important cases are
those of Dan Kellaher, former state
parole officer, Indicted on a charge
of agreeing to accept a bribe; two
cases pending against Frank A. Min-
to, Salem chief of police, charged
with misfeasance In office, and for
mer city detective Orey G. Coffey,
against whom three cases are pend
ing, one of the three, a bribery case,
however, being on Its-way to the su
preme court. The two Min to cases
have been tried and in each case
Jury disagreement had. The Kellaher
case Is before Judge McMahan on
briefs as to a demurrer to the In
dictment, all the briefs being filed
but no decision yet handed down.
The demurrer attacks the validity of
the indictment.

STRENGTH TEST
IN STEEL STRIKE
Washington, Dec. 21 (U.R) John L.
Lewis and his committee for indus
trial organization chiefs moved
swiftly today toward decisive tests
of union strength in the nation's
key steer and automobile industries.
Developments pointed strongly to
ward a mid-winter crisis In the far
reaching campaign, probably ac
companied by widespread and crip
pling strikes.
A high CIO official said today
that steel organizing tactics called
for a minimum of minor walkouts.
When steel union strength reaches
a desired peak, however, a large
scale strike probably preceded by a
general steel-workers convention is
likely, the official said.
On the automobile front develop
ments came swiftly. The Lewis
United Automobile workers union
moved toward a showdown with the
huge General Motors corporation as
strikes In feeder industries clamped
down on major plant assembly lines.
Dramatic impetus may be given
the steel drive by a personal ap
pearance of Lewis before the senate
civil liberties committee which opens
hearings January 11 on violation of
workers rights in the steel Industry.
The committee is considering ask
ing Lewis to testify and he signified
his willingness to appear if Invited.

FOR MRS. SIMPSON
Cannes, France, Dec, 21 (U.B Mrs
Wallls Simpson, who may become
Duchess of Windsor, was looking
forward today to a quiet Christmas
after granting her first audience
to newspaper correspondents.
There will be Christmas wreaths
but no tree, because there has been
no time to arrange for one, her host,
Herman L. Rogers of New York,
said. Rogers said also that Mrs
Simpson would be at the villa with
him and Mrs. Rogers untu spring,
and he added:
"She will remain with us for sev
eral months more."
Mrs. Simpson received three
American newspaper correspondents
in the garden of the Rogers villa
with her host yesterday afternoon.
She required that nothing she said
be quoted. She was vivacious and
asked many questions while Rogers
answered questions for her.
Mrs. Simpson's only ring was a
half Inch band of brilliants on tne
engagement finger. On her left
wrist, barely showing under her
sleeve, was a delicate gold Cham
bracelet from which hung six little
crosses, one side of which was set
with emeralds, the ether with ame
thysts.

STATE TO FIRE
EMPLOYES FOR
DEBT DEFAULT
State employes who refuse to pay
bonus or land board loans from
the state, will be summarily dis
missed when a foreclosure order has
been played against them by the
courts, the board of control ruled
today upon recommendations of the
state budget department.
"Public money la Involved In the
entire transaction," Budget Direc
tor Wallace S. Wharton declared.
"There are some state employes who
are working for the state but are
repudiating their state loans. Un
less they can show a good reason
I urge- they be summarily dis
charged." The three members of the board
of control concurred In the recom
mendations with the Qualification
that any exceptions be demonstrat
ed. The board also set a flat rate for
expenditures for out of state travel
after it was revealed that many em
ployes charge high expense rates or
present a flat rate of $10 a day and
railroad expenses. The limit set
wss $7 a day for out-of-state travel
in addition to train fares.
Purchasing Agent Daniel J. Fry
was given full power by the board to
negotiate for lower gasoline prices
for the state before signing any
contracts for 1037. The stale pur
chases about two and a half mil
lion gallons a year.
The new price quoted by com
panies was 15.5 a gallon to the
state. This Is an Increase of more
than S cents over the price of 12.35
a year ago, due the companies
stated, to the passage of federal
control acts.
Oregon, In Its attempt to reduce
the price, will be joined by both
Washington and California who
were quoted the Identical figure.
Fry said.
The state authorized purchase oi
16 trucks and five automobiles for
the highway department and a
car for the state training school for
boys.
