Tipsters to
Paul W. Ward, Washington correspondent of the Nation.
In the current issue of that periodical, asserts the Federal
Trades commission maintains an atrency engaged m stand
ardizing and licensing fraud," nullifying to an extent the
efforts of the postal department, the food and drug admin
istration and the SEC to keep the people out of the clutches of
various types of knaves. He says:
The particular section of the FTC that Is engaged In standardizing
and licensing fraud Is Its Special Board of Invalidation, established In
1939 The board Is made up of three commission attorneys under the di
rection of E. J. Adams; Ewin L. Davis, a Roosevelt appointee and for
mer Democratic Congressman from Tennessee, Is the commissioner who
has supervision or lis operation nis
concerned with other matters.
The E. J. Adams referred to is a former citizen of Eu
trene, prominent in politics, and realty operations, was on the
first appointive state highway commission, and went to
Washington as private secretary to Senator Stanfield. As lit
tle has been heard of him since, the Nation article is interest
ing to the Oregonians.
It is asserted that the help the FTC has extended to
flim-flam artists is of two sorts, formal and informal. The
informal type comprises the maintenance of a kind of tipster
service for the latter-day medicine men. Other federal agen

Abate the Nuisance ...
Residents alone Pringle creek, which winds its way ar-
. tistically for a mile and a half through the heart of the city
from the Southern Pacific tracks to the Willamette river
particularly those who have gone to the trouble and expense
of landscaping their properties to take advantage of the
stream are righteously indignant over the operations of a
gravel plant recently opened by a highway contractor on the
upper reaches of the creek, just outside the city limits.
Pretty Pringle creek is pretty no longer..
In place of the crystal clear water which formerly danc
ed and sang its way down the rocky stream bed there now
flows a dirty conglomeration of mud and water, having the
color of murky coffee and the consistence of soup. As the
stream gradually recedes it leaves bare mud-covered rocks.
No self-respecting fish and there have always been
fish in the stream would continue to live in such an environ
ment, if it could.
The cause of the pollution, which is in violation of the
state law, is easily found and, in the opinion of competent
engineers, easy to remedy. It conies from the barrow bits and
crusher of the gravel plant, established by Harold Blake,
contractor, who has the job of paving fives miles of the re
located Pacific highway south of Salem. One of the upper
branches of the stream runs through the open barrow pits
from which material is being dredged. Tailings from the gra
vel washer are being dumped directly into the stream.
No provision has been made for a settling basin to clari
fy water before it is turned into the creek, although the to
pography of the land is such that one could be provided at
little expense.
Unless the contractor takes voluntary action to abate
the nuisance the state game commission, the district attorney
or the city should immediately undertake to enjoin further
operation of the plant until steps are taken to eliminate the
eause of pollution.
Choices for the Court
George Creel, who poses as the unofficial spokesman for
Ihe White House, in the current Collier's, submits a list of
the group from whom the president will select new supreme
court judges. He declares "the inner circle of the administra
tion" is finally agreed that selections will be made from this
list:
Felix frankfurter, 54, of Harvard.
James M. Landls, 37, chairman of SEO.
Donald R. Rli-hbrrg. 55. former general counsel for NRA.
fitanlcy Reed. 52. solicitor General of the United elate.
Robert H. Jnekson. 45. Assistant Attorney General.
William O. IloUEla. 38. member. SEC.
Judae Jiwpn C. Hiitchem, Jr.. 57, 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Joseph Warren Madden, 47. chairman ol NLRB.
Robert M. Hutehlns. 38, President, University of Chicago.
Judge Sam O. Brattnn. 48. loth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Lloyd Garrison. 39. Dean of the Wisconsin Law School.
Charlea Fahy, 44. Chief Council for NLRB.
Dean Aeheann, 44. former Under-Secretary of the Treasury.
Judge John J. Burns, 38, Special Counsel, Maritime Commission.
Every one. stated Mr. Creel, is "an ardent new dealer"
Ho the president would seem to be taking no chances in re
spect to the conduct of the men after appointment. The exe
cutive's worry is whether the men he wants would accept ap
pointment. There is also the question whether the senate
would confirm some of these radicals, with whom its com
mittees have frequently clashed.
In the senate itself a strong sentiment exists for the ap
Ixjintment of Senator Robinson of Arkansas, administration
leader in the senate. His confirmation would be assured off
hand. But Mr. Robinson is 6,r years old and bevond the age
limit the president prescribed for appointees to federal courts
let the executive shortly after upset his own rule by ap
pointing Judge R. L. Williams. 68. of Oklahoma, to the cir-
cuit bench, on his promise to retire at 70. ,

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, May 21 Something
went wrong inside the senate Judi
ciary committee when It repudiat-
t-9 ed the Presi
dents court
packing bill. At
the very mom
ent the commit'
tee was reject
ing the white
house program,
an eminent con
gressional lead
er was assuring
his associates
definitely that
pall mallon t commuiee
When the bad news was brought
to him, he was so shocked he
would not talk to anyone the rest
of the day. At the white house,
surprise was likewise indicated,
The President did not get his wind
back in time to discuss the matter
in his press conference later that
day.
Hie fact is the presidential major-domos
thought they had arran
ged for entirely different result.
They are not saying anything now,
except among themselves, but they
thought the committee was goingr
to have a tei vote (nine to nine)
on the Logan compromise. This is
a proposal to pack the court at
the rate of one a year instead of
six at once. Such a development
would have saved the court pack
ing program from the ignominy
of a direct defeat. It would have
Ufed the issue out of the commit
tee to the senate floor for open
discussion with the least possible
pain to all.
Everything was fixed for It, or.
at least, nearly everything. The
skids were greased, ail except one
skid.
Snooiing What happened, the
domos say, was that one of their
pals on the commltee was asleep at
the switch. He was supposed to vote
for the Logan compromise, but got
to voting against all compromises
so fast he did not know when to
stop. The question now has arisen
as to whether he took or was given
a sleeping powder before the meet
ing. If he had voted for the Losan
propasal, the vote would have been
exactly nine to nine. As it was, the
compromise was defeated, ten to
eight, and the committee went on
to defeat the president's plan by
the same score.
What It seems to boll down to Is
that the domos did a very bad Job
on the committee, or else some na
tural and unavoidable misunder
standing arose.
At any rate, they were flabber
gasted and were unable to do any
thing about it after it occurred.
Dnm est tea t Ion A democratic
group of anti-packers around the
senate has come to be known fa
miliarly in the corridors as "the
lion -tamers club.'
The title grows from an obvious
but not generally advertised fart.
They make no secret, in conversa
tion, of thrlr displeasure over the
general attitude taken by the
White House since the lart election.
on other matters as well as the
court
What brouuht their rrwentmentout
mora distinctly was the latest edict
of the president against compro
mise. Since then, they have been
talking (in private, of course) about
what happened to Mr. WUaon on
Article X when the war president
stood against any senatorial dotting
of "l'a" and any extra senatorial
crossing of "t'a."
Their personal viewpoint seems to
be that It Is up to them not only
to defeat the court program on its
merits, but aa one of their number
describes it) to "make the president
become a president again."
That Is. they believe the old na
tural constitutional checks and bal
ances prevailing in government
prior to the oppression may be re-

Not all anti-packers feel that way.
but enough of them do to create a
very strong personal and somewhat
bitter situation.

DOG BITES
Do not Kill the Dog, if it can be
helped, but turn him over to the city
health department to be watched, or
shut him up yourself for fourteen
days. If the dog remains well, you
may be sure he is not mad, and there
is no danger from the wound, except
the usual danger of Infection com
mon to all wounds. If the dog die
or is killed, pack his head in a pail
of ice and send it to the nearest
health department laboratory for ex
amination. If it is discovered that the
dog was mad, have the doctor give
Pasteur treatment at once. If you
neglect to do this, the victim may de
velop hydrophobia (the usual result
of being bitten by a mad dog), a
disease which is fatal.

The Spring Book Festival of last
week, held in the Children's room ol
the Salem Public library was very
successful. There were over 500 peo
ple who entered the Guess What
Book contest which was a most sat
isfactory number when it is remem
bered this was the first time such a
contest had been tried here.
It was promised that the winners
would be announced this week. I am
sorry to say we cannot do so for
500 papers are a goodly number to ,
correctl However, we can announce "
the schools which won the awards
for their school libraries. Those re
ceiving an award were SACRED
HEART ACADEMY with 48 percent
and BUSH SCHOOL with 47-plu
percent of their total school enroll
ments having joined the contest.
Both schools have been awarded
books because they were within a
small fraction of having the same
percentage. Hence it seemed fairer
to give two books Instead of one.
"Aunt Jane" told the stories at
Story Hour last Saturday and was so
enjoyed by those who heard here
that It was unanimously decided she
would tell her stories again Saturday,
May 29. at 10 o'clock. Since the Story
Hour at that time will be the last
one until school stars In the fall,
"Aunt Jane" plans to make It quite
special. Besides the Library plans
something a little different if tha
weather permits-
Do you remember the Explorer's
club the Library sponsored last sum
mer? This year there is to be an- .
other club called the Gypsy club.
Everyone who joins will have an au

last summer. Let's all become Gyp
sies, take our trailers and fare forth
to see what adventures may be had
this summer!
Miss Beatty's fifth grade class at
HIGHLAND and Miss Inlow's fifth
grade class at BUSH have Just a very
few more readers to complete the
Best Book List before each room will
have 100 percent- GRANT school has
the highest percentage of readers of
Best Books. The Library is proud of
GRANT school and of the two indi
vidual rooms at BUSH and HIGH
LAND. The winners of the awards of the
Guess What Book contest will be an

MY MOTHER
My Mother is the kind who bakea
cookies, pies and chocolate cake,
And tells me stories when It' night.
And what is wrong and what 1
right.
I hurry home when school Is out.
No matter what the children shout.
Because I know she waits for me
Each afternoon at half-past three,
