SATURDAY. MAY 29, 1937
EDWIN BOOTH,
DOUGLAS BANK
OFFICIAL, JAILED
(Continued from page 1)
when E. M. Wright, Portland, a Na
tional bank examiner, in a routine
inspection ot the accounts tum
bled on the alleged shortage.
A dazed wife standing nearby
heard Marshal Summerville tell
Booth he was under arrest. Cashier
of the bank for the past two years
Booth, who had learned some hours
previously that authorities were
aware of the shortages, expressed
surprise at the quickness with
which they had acted, Summerville
said.
"He told me he thought he was
solng to have two or three days to
fix things up," the marshal related.
Booth first summoned his broth
er. Harrle. also an official of the
bank, who, when, he heard that Ed
win was under arrest, broke down
and cried.
While Booth dressed, his father,
J. H. Booth, president and princi
pal stockholder of the bank, was
summoned. He accompanied his
son to Eueene, where with a cousin.
R. Ray Booth, a property bond was
Dosted for the 35 year old man ana
he was released, having waived a
hearing.
United States Attorney Carl Do
naugh said that after an Investiga
tion the case will be placed before
the June term of the federal grand
Jury for further action. The case
probably will be heard the latter
part of the month.
Donaugh, in reciting the circum
stances of the Issuance of the com
plaint, said neither the family nor
any official of the bank had any
suspicion of the alleged defalcation
until It was uncovered by Wright.
The alleged shortage extended back
a period of several months, he said.
The prosecutor said "the family"
called upon him yesterday, when the
complaint was issued, but he de
clined to comment on the visit ex
cept to say, in answer to a reporter's
question of whether Booth had ack
nowledged the alleged embezzlement:
"He admitted he had taken the
money."
Marshal Summerville said that he
and Rlckard were accompanied to
the Booth home by Clifford Thorn
ton, deputy sheriff of Douglas coun
ty. Mrs. Booth answered the door
and summoned her husband when
the marshal asked to see him.
The marshal said that before he
left the house with Booth, he asked
her if she knew what Booth had
done with the money and she replied:
"I don't know."
The father and other members of
the family, crushed by the circum
stances, made no additional com
ment after the hearing at Eugene be
fore U. S. Commissioner O. E. Immel,
Booth and his father and cousin
returned to Roseburg.
COURT BILL TO
BE SIDETRACKED
Washington. May 29 iff) Contra
verslal new proposals for laws af
fecting labor, farmers and other
groups are pushing President Roose
velt's court bill Into the back
groundat least temporarily.
Congressmen noted a spurt of ad
ministration activity In the legisla
tive field ever since a senate com
mittee voted against the court mea
sure 10 days ago.
The committee report urging that
the proposal be defeated probably
will reach the senate next week,
Some opponents predicted the
court bill would not be pushed vig
orously, and that debate on it would
be Interrupted whenever any im
portant legislation was ready for
consideration.
In the latter classification Is the
far reaching bill to fix minimum
wages and maximum hours for
workers whose products move in in
terstate commerce.
Committee hearings will begin
Tuesday.
An appeal for legislation this year
to check what the president called
evasion and avoidance of Income
tax by wealthy Individuals was
made public yesterday. There were
hints that Mr. Roosevelt would ask
for an open congressional Investi
gation of the subject.
Congressional leaders expect a
message from the president earlv
next week either on this subject or
on regional planning through a ser
ies of agencies similar to the Ten
nessee valley authority.
Strawberry Men
Hope for Good Crop
Lebanon, May 39 Although the
cool moist weather of the past two
weeks has advanced the picking

producers of this vicinity. Picking
will not begin to any great volume
until the second week of June it is
estimated.
Pickers will receive 1'i cents r

9 cents for a six pound carrier with
a bonus of 3 cents per carrier at the
end.

Japanese Student Here
Criticizes Attitude of
American Christians
Under the title, "America As I See It," Hideo Tokimo
to. student in Salem Continuation school, has written an
interesting article on the impressions of a Japanese youth
upon arrival in the United states
and observations made since. The
article, submitted for publication by
Violet T. Swanson, director of the
school, follows:
It was November 27. 1933. when
I arrived in America, the land of
my aspiration, after 13 days of roll
ing in tlie waves of the Pacific
ocean. Although I was full of hope,
fear stole over mc as I realized I
knew no one.
"The first thing I noticed as I
lAnded about 8 o'clock that morn
ing of the 27th was the structure of
the buildings. Built of concrete or
of brick, all the houses I saw were
standing firmly. Especially out
standing was the 42-story Smith
building. It being the first time in
my lite that I had seen such a
large building, I stood there absent-mindedly
watching the build
ing. The next thing I noticed was
the number of automobiles. I was
overcome with awe as I watched
hundreds of cars of different kinds
going and coming In front of me,
and I trembled with fear.
"On the night of the 28th we took
the 11 o'clock train for The Dalles.
When I woke up. it was 6 o'clock
at dawn. Soon the train arrived in
Portland. Her we changed cars
for The Dalles, since it was morn
ing. I was attracted to the scenery
outside. I was entertained by
watching the large river which was
flowing along to my left. I won
dered many times If that were really
a river. About 9:20 the train ar
rived at The Dalles.
"Since then I have spent one year
there and another year here of a
very trying life. I have thought
many times what a dark country
America is. Then, in the fall of
my 17th year. I came to live as a
school boy with Reverend Hashi
moto of Salem. Even since I have
spent many days of dream-like hap
piness. The people of Salem were
very kind. Heretofore, having been
tossed about in the rough waves of
lite, my mental attitude was greatly
distorted. The slightest provocation
was enough to make me angry.
Many times I thought ot suicide.
However, as I went with Rev. Hash
imoto to tlie church and listened
to the sermons, often unwillingly
and reluctantly. I began to see lielit
in the future where I saw nothing
but darkness before, and as I re
flected upon the path I led I was
awakened. I decided to walk with
God. and was baptized on the first

"The Christians of this country
are asleep at the present time. Even
though having such a good religion
as Christianity, they seem to be In
different to religion. I pray that
they may become more religious
again.
"Tlie people of this country seem
to know only the bad things about
the Japanese and are ignorant of
their finer qualities. Whenever
they think of Japan, they think only
of yellow, militaristic people. There
fore, they pass anti-Japanese laws
and make the Japanese suffer. I
wish they would become once again
more religious and think of Japan
ese nationals from that broader
view.
"The standpoint of American cit
izens of Japanese parentage is this:
We love Japan, and We love Amer
ica. I am hoping for alliance be
tween the United States and japan.
I pray that Japan and the United
States will join hands and walk
the way of God."

HOP MARKETS
REMAIN DULL
Pacific coast hop markets remain
ed very dull and developed a some
what weaker tone during the week
ended May 27, according to the
weekly hops market review of the
bureau of agricultural economics
A continued slow inquiry from do
mestic dealers and Industries, some
what Improved prospects for the
new crop in mast producing dis-
tricts of the three coast states, and
slightly lower asking prices by
growers were the principal weak
ening influences In the market sit
uation .on the west coast. Sales by
growers in the Uiree states during
the past week were somewhat more
active than in other recent weeks.
totaling around 319 bales, accord
ing to trade reports, at prices sev
eral cents lower than the last re
ported previous sales. Small re
maining supplies of 1936 crop hops,
together with lack of selling pres
sure from the larger holders, tend
ed to, check further price declines
and a somewhat steadier tone was
reported at the close of the period
under review. Crop conditions gen
erally in the coast states were re
ported more favorable with warmer
weather prevailing during the past
week, which tended to check the
spread of downy mildew infestation,
Oregon markets were rather quiet
and somewhat weaker, with sales of
spot hops In this state consisting of
211 bales of 1936 crop clusters In
various sized lots, which netted
growers 25 cents to 30 cents per
pound, the larger portion bringing
the 30 cent price. Quality ranged
from medium to primes. A one year
contract, covering 8.000 pounds of
the 1937 crop, was reported written
during the week, at 20 cents per
pound, net to grower. Demand was
mostly slow from domestic consum
ing interests, who were reported
well supplied for the present from
deliveries on contracts. New crop
conditions were becoming of in
creasing Interest to the trade gen
erally. Trade advices generally in-
a icate mat wniie there Is some
downy mildew In Oregon yards, in
varying degrees of Infestation rang
ing from quite serious in some yards
to entire lack of mildew in others.
Progress of the new crop will de
pend greatly upon weather condi
tions during the next few weeks.
Washington hops markets were
also dull with weaker tone reported.
Sales by growers in the Yakima vat-
ley were reported as 51 bales which
netted 25 cents to 28 cents per
pound for 1936 crop clusters, varia
tion depending upon quality. No
new contracts were reported written
during the period.
California hops markets were also
dull and developed a weaker tone
during the past week, largely Influ
enced by continued slow demand
for spot supplies and somewhat Im
proved crop prospects In coastal
counties. Offerings were relatively
light reflecting the small stocks re
maining in first hands, but were in
slow request. While growers gen
erally were not attempting to force
sales, scattered lots of 1936 hops
were available at lowei prices than
in other recent weeks. Sales by
growers were confined to 54 bales
of medium quality 1936 hops which
netted Mendocino growers 25 cents
per pound. Others growers were
mostly holding for 35-40 cents per
pound except on some lots in the
Sacramento valley which were ob
tainable at around 30 cents per
pound. Growers continued to hold
1935 hops at unchanged prices of
20-25 cents per pound while older
growths were neglected.
The English hops market was
quiet with only occasional sales of
1935 crop in cold storage. Contin
ued increase m beer sales was caus
ing a firm market undertone despite
small current takings by brewers.
Small remaining surplus of 1936
crop has kept well and mainly of
good average quality. Cultivation

to backwardness of vines little
headway made in training. Pair
amount of business for domestic
consumption reported in continental
markets but prices remain in buyers
favor for medium and lower quali
ties. Growing crop backward due
to cool weather.

LEAGUE REJECTS
PLEA OE SPAIN
Geneva, May 29 (4( Tlie League
of Nations Council compromised in
the face of a behind-the-scenes dis
pute over foreign intervention In
Spain today and adopted a resolution
calling upon every league member
to reipect the territorial Integrity
and political uidependence of every
other nation.
It did not. however, give formal
recognition to tlie Spanish govern
ment's contention that territorial
aggression had occurred in Spain.
The Spanish government has ac
cused Italy of such aggression and.
in lesser measure, has asiled Ger
many for permitting its nationals to
fight on the side of tlie Insurgents.
Tlie resolution, adopted after two
hours of discussion, praised tlie ef
forts 01 the ixmaon international
non-intervention commute and con
demned the aerial oomDaromeni oi
unfortified towns in Spain.
Further, tlie resolution hailed with
satisfaction tl? non-intervention
committee's initiative in attemptuig
to effect the withdrawal of non-
Spnnish combatants from tlie civil
war.
It urged league numbers to sup
port this attempt. It recorded a
"profond hope" that measures
would be taken to bring about an
early end of the conflict.
Julio Alvarez Del Vayo, the Span
ish government's delegate, made an
eleventh-hour struggle to obtain &
resolution that would at least imply
a condemnation of fascist interven
tion in Spain.
His demands, however, received
only veiled recognition In the reso
lution that finally was adopted.
OREGON ARTISTS
ASK CAPITOL WORKV
Demanding that Oregon artists
be given an opportunity to compete
for work on the new buildings to be
added to the capltol group, the
state museum association In session
here directed criticism against the
capitol reconstruction commission
for what it termed a "freeze out"
on art work for tlie new capitol.
Douglas McKay of Salem, league
president, appointed a committee to
approach tlie commission on the is
sue and named another group to re
quest a room in the new capitol for
the association headquarters. Mem
bers stated they were eliminated
from competing on the art for the
structure but wished to be recog
nized on future work by the state.
The association re-elected all officers.
