THE CAPITAL' JOURNAU. SALEM, OREGON
f HTTRSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1937
OPERATION TO
FOLLOW TREK
TO OKANOGAN
Okanogan. Wash., Jan. 31 U !
Frederick White, 24. miner, stricken
with appendicitis last Saturday at
the Isolated Azurite mine in the
Cascade mountains, awaited sn
operation In a hospital here today
after dog teams, a plane and sn
ambulance were called into use to
bring him back to civilization.
A state patrol ambulance com
pleted the last lap of the hazardous
trip just before midnight and phy
sicians, who examined White early
today reported he was In "good con
dition." The youth's condition, made more
serious by the high altitude of the
mountain camp and the sub-zero
temperature, was discovered by Dr.
E. T. Murdock. who was called to
examine.
Murdock decided an attempt to
perform an emergency operation
with the crude facilities available
would be too hazardous and by short
wave radio made arrangements to
bring hU desperately-Ul patient out
of the mining camp.
A plane, piloted by Bob Jonn
son, carried George 8 tone baker
and Clarence Freeman and their
eight dogs and sled to Winthrop
and they drove from that point up
an unmarked trail 23 miles long
to the mine.
White ( wrapped In furs and blan
kets, was placed on a crude stretcher
on the sled and with Murdock
"mushing" by his aide ready to per
form an 'emergency operation, the
trek back down the mountain was
started.
A state patrol ambulance, sent
to Winthrop. was watting the ar
rival of the sled and then fought;
through heavy snow drifts and I
around detours to Okanogan.
Rescuers were reported on the
verge of exhaustion when they
reached Winthrop after fighting
their way through snow and over
icy slopes over the mountain.
The original dog team was aug
mented by additional dogs which
were taken In to meet the rescue
party and 10 dogs labored over the
trail dragging the sled bearing
White, while 10 men in the party
puued a second sled on which rode
the exhausted doctor.
Doctors today said they would
give White time to recover from
his ordeal before they would per
form the operation.
WEST HAS PLAN FOR
POLICE PENSIONS
An ordinance diverting part or all
or flne collected for gambling Into
the police pension fund was put
forward yesterday by former Gov
ernor Oswald West as a method of
raising police department pension
runaa "without cost to the taxpay
era.
The plan, which West styled as
so simple that It probably will not
receive any serious consideration."
referred especially to the Portland
police department whose fund is
depleted.
The former governor declared the
plan would kill two birds with one
atone. It would stimulate a drive on
gamblers and at the same time
build up ' the pension fund.
SENATORS PUT IN
REPEALING BILL
Repealing of the marketing
agreement bill, passed In the 1935
special session. Is asked In the
Oregon legislature In a measure pre
sented by senators Burke and Mc
Cornack.
Pointing out that court decbians
had made the law a "dead letter,"
tne measure would remove the law
from the statute books. Although
authorising agreements, the bill
was never put into effect as the
court decision followed closely upon
enactment of the law.
Another bill, entered In the after
noon session by the Insurance com
mittee of the senate, would raise the
atate re.torn.lon fund from S25.00O
per year to 150.000. The bill also
authorizes the board of control to
arrange for private Insurance on
state bulMtnga.

FEDERATION
HEAD RESIGNS
Washington, Jan. 21 (UR) Sanford
Bates, director of federal prisons, re
signed today.
Bates' resignation came as a sur
prise. His post is one of the major
offices in the department of justice.
Bates' views on prison parole and
pardons several times have conflict
ed with those of J. Edgar Hoover, di
rector of the federal bureau of in
vestigation. Hoover has been critical of parole
methods especially those followed
by the states. Bates has been a strong
supporter of parole systems.

DR. TOWNSEND
TEST DOLLARS
BEING HOARDED
Chelan. Wash., Jan. 21 U.R
Hoarding of "Town&end test dollars"
by souvenir hunters threatened to
day to wreck the first actual experi
ment with the old age- pension plan.
Mayor W. T. Price considered pro
posing tin ordinance to make all
hoarders pay double the money they
are caught keeping out of circula
tion. The mayor, who as the town's
grocer, got ten of the- tanned dollars
bills from C. C. Fleming, 63, unem- 1
ployed orcnard worker, .said the
Townsend test wouldn't work unless
the money was circulated rapidly
and a two percent transactions tax
paid by every person handling a dol
ar. Fleming, given $200 to spend in a
month, rested after his first spending
spxve.
He got rid or only $1.04 Wednesday,
bringing his total outlay to $106.24
since he won the money Saturday
night by popular vote at a dance.
Fleming said he would merely win
dow shop for a while now.
The transactions tax so far has
brought in nearly $9. but Townsend
ites claim the tax will soon mount
rapidly and furnish another $200 to
keep the pension experiment going.
Thus far $8.87 has been obtained
from transaction taxes. It was hoped
the tax, being cumulative and
mounting each time a dollar changes
hands, would provide another $200
by Feb. 17, when Fleming's present
supply technically Is supposed to be
liquidated,
Each dollar bill which Fleming
spends has a tag a Itched on which
is written the name of each person
through whose hands the money
passes.
Fleming took things easy yester
day after a previous shopping spree
which netted him a suit of store
bought clothes, a barber's shave and
haircut, a new dress and permanent
for his wife.
Fleming, a father of six child
ren, played his Cinderella role cas
ually yesterday. He spent $3.60 for
cigars for his friends, 15 cents for
cigarettes and paid his house rent
of $20.
I won't have any difficulty in
getting rid of the $200 in one
month.1
Fleming said.
"I could even use more ff I had
it."
Merchants were reported eager to
circulate the money and co-operate
in building up the fund, which is be
ing held in the Chelan bank. Local
Townsendites believed the experi
ment would "prove the validity of
their plan.
FOUR NEW BILLS
ADDED IN HOUSE
Only four bills were Introduced in
the aiternoon session of the house
Wednesday. The committee on labor
and industry brought in two meas
ures. The effect of the first would be
to make warehouse receipts on lum
ber and slabwood subject to labor
er's leins. The second requires em
ployers to forward, by mall, the
wages unpaid to employes who have
severed their connection with said
employers.
Representative Harrison. Linn,
brought in his sixth bill to date. This
measure provides for the foreclosure
of chattel mortgages less than $100
in justice court and more than $100
as real property mortgages are fore
closed. Representative Barnes, Mult
nomah, Is the only other represen
tative with his name on six bills
so far.
The fourth measure was Introduc
ed by Representatives Fat land and
French and was sponsored In the
senate by Senator SUIwer. This mea
sure relates only to administrative
details regarding tax refunds on mo-
tor vehicles.
Broadacres John Wolfe's leg Is
improving. He is able to be up and
about the place now, although he
still uses the crutch.

HOSPITAL CARE
REQUESTED FOR
SICK TRANSIENT
Does anyone want to provide hos
pitalization for a few days for a
transient who Is suffering severely
with goitre? The man sought shel
ter recently at Hotel de Mlnto and
had pneumonia. He has been cured
of the pneumonia, but the goitre
makes It hard for him to breaths
and he cant talk above a whisper.
A local doctor has agreed to per
form the operation without charge
if someone will donate the cost of
hospitalization.
Since the first of the year when
first aid service was added to tran
sient care at Hotel de Mlnto a total
of about 235 cases of Illness and in
Jury hive been attended by Russell
Hagy. who Is In charge of that part
of tlie work. yl
oui titiciiiiun io uie men on uie
sick list Is handicapped! by lack of
medical supplies. The attention of
the public Is called to this so that
anyone who wants to donate medi
cine or supplies, or the money to
buy them, will have opportunity to
do so. These should not be given
directly to the resort, saya Mr. Hagy.
zut should be given through the
Physicians and Surgeons Hospital
association, so everything reaching
the hotel will be professionally ap
proved. Hospitalization of extreme cases
is also a difficult matter, because of
already filled beds at the hospitals
and because the hospitals can't
make a business of charity cases.
The physicians of the community
are taking a generous attitude, Mr.
Hagy says. He recently appeared be
fore the local medical society, and
the doctors present agreed each to
(rill half hmir nf hi llnu uah
month on condition that either Dr. V
V n.ihlln haMalth Afflw na '
Dr. V. L. Hockett, county medical
officer, would supervise the service.
This has not yet been arranged.
Cases of disease and injury that
have gone through the first aid ser
vice at Hotel de Mlnto so far are
as- follows:
Venereal 6; chest colds 39, head
colds 38, scabies 3, Infection 29, as
thma 5, starvation 13, dislocation 1,
fractures 3. lacerations 19, punctures
6, constipation 27, pneumonia 5, flu
10, piles 5, miscellaneous 26.
Flu cases have jumped In the last
week. Pneumonia cases have all
been handled at the hotel, the fire
department's lnhalator being used
when necessary.
