Black's Confirmation
Explained by Borah
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 21 (vPj Sena
tor William E. Borah, Idaho repub
lican, said here today in an Inter
view he believed confirmation of
Supreme Court Justice Hugo L.
Black would have been balked had
the senate been 'convinced Mr.
Black was a Ku Klux Klan mem
ber.
"When Senator Burke, (D.,) of
Nebraska, told the committee of
the report Mr. Black was a member
of the Klan, I said if there were
any witnesses or evidence avail
able the committee should have it.
Nothing was presented," Borah said.
He continued: "At the time I un
derstood Mr. Black ha.f resigned
from the Klan six years before, and
I did not consider It important. To
have opposed confirmation on that
ground would have necessitated
that we assumed Mr. Black was
then a member. I did not assume
it then and do not now."

Kent Offers to
Revise Murals
Without Charce
Washington. Sept. 21 (U.R Rock
well Kent offered today to revise
his mural In the postoffice building
"absolutely free of charge" to sat
isfy the Puerto Ricans who protest
ed its "message of good-will."
The painter and liberal author
said he was willing to paint into
the mural the president of the Pu
erto Rican senate tearing up a mes
sage in obscure Eskimo dialect
which bide the people of the island
to throw off American rule.
Answering complaints that recip
ients of the message on the mural
were "half-naked African bush
men," Kent offered to add portraits
of members of ten Puerto Rican
house of representatives.
The mural depicted the delivery
of a letter from the Arctic regions
to the tropics.
There was a tumult among Wash
ington officials when Vllhjalmur
Stefansson, veteran Arctic explor
er, translated the microscopically
printed Kuskokwin dialect:
"To the people of Puerto Rico,
our friends! Let us change chiefs.
That alone can make us equal and
free."
"That is merely the American
message of good-will to a people in
its aspiration for freedom," Kent
said. "Of course, the time may
come, even in America, as It has
already come In fascist Italy and
Germany, when such a message or
such aspirations in a people would
be treason.
"Thank God It hasn't come yetl"
Kent recognized the complaint of
Puerto Ricans that his painting
showed only one white man where
as most of the people of Puerto
Rico are not negroes.

Talks on Chest
Character building as a paying
proposition to a community and na
tion was presented the Kiwanls
club today noon - by Lyman L.
Pierce, of Pierce & Hedrick, Inc.,
financial counselors In charge of
the community chest drive here.
Crime is one of the most costly
things in the country today, the
speaker said, with the cost to the
nation of the apprehension of Dill-
inger equal to the combined cost of
all the money invested in commun
ity chests in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. Pierce stressed the ne
cessity of places of refuge where
young peopl in particular can
spend their leisure under whole
some conditions.
The difference between philan
thropy and charity is the first deals
with character and education build
ing and the latter with direct re
lief, Pierce said. The American
people are giving over two billions
of dollars annually to philanthrop
ic, religious and charitable pur
poses and $52,000,000 a year to col
leges whereas crime costs 15 bit
lions annually with a major crime
committed every 24 seconds. The
tax load for crime alone amounts
to $120 per capita annually.
Senator Douglas McKay and Wil
liam M. Hamilton both spoke brief
ly in the interest of the campaign
which has as its object the raising
of $45,000 for the seven agencies in
Salem, a cost of $1.50 per capita for
the city as compared with a Pa
cific coast per capita of $1.70 for
similar purposes.

publican leaders who have been
scouring the state for gubernatorial

a visit with friends here during
the recent state fair, when he con

poses of his visit here was to con
fer with friends regarding the out

held several conferences with party
leaders in Portland.
Stadelman has also been promi

when he views for the second time the great dam he author

United States army engineers will

On Black's Kluxism
Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept. 21 U.R
Sources close to President Roosevelt
revealed today that the president
has not been in communication with
Hugo L. Black since the new supreme
court justices possible Ku Klux
Klan affiliations were brought to
light.
The revelation was made after the
president himself, at his last press
conference before starting for the
Pacific coast tomorrow, refused to
amplify his formal Black statement
of last week.
Mr. Roosevelt said at that time
that he appointed the former Ala
bama senator to the high court
without knowing of his possible K.
K.K. membership, and that there
would be no action of any kind
pending Black's return from Europe.
The fact that Mr. Roosevelt nei
ther has talked to Black nor heard
from him was taken as definite in
dication that the supreme court jus
tice has made no effort to explain
the K.K.K. allegations.
The president will not see Black
before the supreme court convenes
October 4 for its fall term.

Spud Growers
Vote on Control
Corvallis. Sept. 21 OP) A refer
endum In which commercial potato
growers in 18 Oregon counties will
vote this week on whether they fa
vor a voluntary acreage control pro
gram for 1938 is now being con
ducted by the Oregon State college
extension service at the request of
the agricultural adjustment admin
istration. The plan proposed would affect
only growers who normally harvest
three or more acres of potatoes. The
vote Is being taken in counties
where the 1034 census shows that at
least 50 farms produced 200 bushels
or more potatoes each.
Such counties in Oregon where
the vote Is being taken, ending not
later than Saturday, September 25,
are Baker, Clackamas, Columbia,
Coos, Crook, Deschutes, Hood Riv
er, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn,
Malheur, Marlon, Multnomah,
Umatilla, Union, Washington and
Yamhill.
Growers will ballot on the ques
tion, ' Are you in favor of estab
lishing a potato acreage goal for
each commercial potato farm in
connection with the 1938 agrlcul
tural conservation program?" AAA
otnclais have announced that un
less two-thirds of the commercial
growers favor the plan it will not be
attempted.
Goals or quotas, under the pro
posed plan, would be based on aver
age acreages and yields for 1036-37,
with such adjustments as necessary
to compensate for abnormal weath
er conditions in those years. This
same goal idea is being applied to a
number of soil-depleting crops un
