CANNERS OFFER
TESTIMONY IN
BERRY CASE
The case of Woodburn Berry
Growers' association against Ray-
Mallng cannery which took up here
again today before Judge Arlla Wal
ker In circuit Court swung the Inn
ings over to the defense this after
noon after the plaintiff had rested
Its case and had put on In the neigh
borhood of 100 witnesses, mostly ber
ry growers connected with the asso
ciation. After the plaintiff's account
ants, Stacey ic Orote, had again
taken the stand today to submit fig
ures to bear out the association's
contentions that Its members had
been underpaid on their 1934 cost
plus loganberry contract which Is
Involved In the action, and plaintiff
said Its testimony was concluded, W.
G. Hare of Hlllsboro, attorney for
the cannery, moved for a non-suit
and also offered a motion to strike
parts of the plaintiff's testimony.
Judge Walker overruled both of the
motions and the cannery testimony
got under way as court reconvened
at 1:30 this afternoon. -
The defense offered L. B. Hall, Its
cannery accountant, and Accountant
Mcintosh ol the firm of Price, Wat
erhouse of Portland, as ita first wit
nesses, their testimony being to the
effect on the first count In the com
plaint that It was understood In en
tering Into the contract between the
growers and cannery that the over
head charge was to be 30 percent of
the prime cost. The association con
tends that the cannery In settling
under the contract took too much
for overhead. ' .
Hare said also from 10 to 13 wit
nesses would be put on in connec
tion with the second cause of action
to show that the growers quit dellv
erlng under their contract because
of poor market conditions and poor
condition of the berries and that de
liveries were quit because the asso
ciation voluntarily- ceased deliveries
and not because the cannery ordered
them to quit. The growers, as part
of their $18,000 or more tn damages
sought, are asking for damagea for
alleged failure to take all the berries
grown under the contract.

DESPITE STRIKE
Santa Monica, Calif.. Feb. 34 (U.PJ
Fears of violence at the Douglas
aircraft plant here were allayed at
least temporarily today when 300
sit-aown" strikers admitted BOO
members of the engineering depart
ment to report lor work.
The engineers and other techni
cal craftsmen walked through a
picket line at the main entranoe
but were not molested although a
crowd was gathered before the en
trances.
Although the engineers were at
work, 6,600 other employes remain
ed idle as the huge plant was shut
down by officials yesterday when
the strike waa called.
Police Chief Charles E. Dice re
ported that his men would make
no attempt to oust the strikers
without legal authority.
The strikers, taking turn sleeping
and standing guard In the plant,
jeered when the warning of Presi
dent Donald Douglas was read and
tore down a wooden partition
around two partly completed army
bombers so that they could pre
vent any attempt to complete
them.
Douglas' warning addressed the
sit-downers as trespassers and re
quested them to leave the plant im
mediately. The strikers announced
they would present their demands
formally today.
A. N. Schmolder. of the strike
strategy board, said they would be
a straight 16 cents an hour pay
raise; time and a half for over
time; union recognition; seniority
rights; reinstatements of two work
ers allegedly fired for union activi
ty.
Douglas was undecided whether
to ask a court injunction to ous
the men. The strike held up work
on $24,000,000 worth of contracts
for commercial and fighting planes.

LOBBY
from page 1)
While the senate was yesterday
afternoon voting to revive her bill
Rep. Hannah Martin was waging a
winning fight on behalf of the
Carney bill In the house.
Reading editorials from the Cap
ital Journal and Liberty mgn
Mrs. Martin orated at length
against the "evil Influence! of these
gambling devices In our state.
Putting members or the lower
assembly on the spot, Mrs. Martin
shouted, "II you're not being paid
by the pin-ball Interests, I say
vote lor this bill'."
Representative Charles Leach,
who later voted lor passage or the
measure which would provide lor
confiscation and destruction of all
pin-ball games, slot machlnea and
such equipment, stood up to object
to "certain persons making
grandstand play over this issue."
Mrs. Martin Jumped to her feet
to voice violent objection to Leach's
remarks.
'Mr. Leach' remark are aimed
at me," she cried waving her lists
at Leach, 'Well, II I'm grandstand
ing, I'm going to keep on grand
standing until gambling is driven
out of Oregon." t
Representative Henry Oleen con
tinued what grew into a shouting
session with a denunciation .. 'of
gambling a "an evil Influence on
the children of this state" and ask
ing that the legislature help the
fathei's and mothers bring their
children up right.
On final count the bill was
ed by a 60 to $ vote. Two were ab
sent. Those voting against tne Mil
were Alien. Barnes, Delch, Carter,
Llvesley, Mahoney, McCloskey and
Youns.
Driven to desperation oy in nun
,vinU have taken during the past
few days the slot machine and pin-
ball Interest hava been striving
mightily to effect an alliance wltbJ
the parl-mutuel racing, interest,
which yesterday succeeded In killing
a senate bill to abolish the state rac
ing commission and prohibit parl
mutuel wagering.
Rebuked In their advances, the
gamblers are beginning to tlaker
around with other racing legislation,
particularly with senate bill No.
105 the "gravy boat" bill which
would Increase the state's take from
the part-mutuels from Hi to 5 per
cent and add 10 shows, festivals, ro
deo and like events to the list of
beneficiaries of the fund.
Sponsored by a group of boosters
for the Portland Rose Festival, which
would be given $10,000 a year out ot
the increased take, the bill waa en
gineered through the senate by add
ing the Redmond Potato show, " '63
Days" show at Canyon City, Lake-
view Round-Up, Astoria Regatta, In
dependence Hop Fiesta, Sllet Ro
deo, Lebanon strawberry fair, Ter
ritorial Days celebration at Oregon
City and the Molalla Buckaroo.
This back-scratching for votes Is
continuing In the house, where the
bill lies in committee. '
Oovernor Martin's suggestion that
the revenue from racing be used to
finance the state and county fair
exclusively hss been apparently side
tracked so far aa the legislature I
concerned.
But the governor 1 not forgetting.
and It Is no secret that he does not
approve ol the tampering that I go
ing on with a fund that has demon
strated its ability to help finance the
.itate fair, county fairs. Pacific In-
ternatlonal Livestock show. Eastern
Oregon Livestock show, Pendleton
Round-Up and the Northwestern
Turkey show.
From source of unquestionable
authority It was stated today that
the governor will veto the "grab bag1
racing bill If It Is passed up to him,
operating on the theory that It Is
better to let well enough alone,
The governor Is further said to be
unalterably opposed to the support
or private and seml-prlvate enter
prises out ot nubltc funds.
At least one of the events which
I scheduled for a slice ot the racing
money under senate bill 105 Is a
private corporation organised and
operated for prollt, according to the
records of the state corporation de
partment. It Is the SUetr Rodeo association,
of which Rep. J. T. Mahoney, Lin
coln county, Is a stockholder and
vice president,

Klefer said the walkout was plan

of our plan."
"Did you agree at any time that

Townsend's attorney asked-
"Nol Never," said Townsend In a
firm voice.
On - cross-examination, Leslie
Oarnett, district attorney, read to
Townsend the record of the com
mittee at which Townsend told the -
committee "I shall have no runner

"I want It definitely tinaernooa
you don't try to fly that airplane

hopeful waa told by Allan D. Green
wood, state aeronautical Inspector.
But all was not lost for the youth
whose air education has been ex
clusively confined to the ground. An
airport pilot was scheduled to try
out the machine which Greenwood
said appeared to be air-worthy.
"No. sir. you can't taxi around
the airport until you've had at least
five hours solo time," was Green
wood's ultimatum to a final plea.
