Three
Dies Reports
Cash Lack May
End Hearings
Washington, Nov. 1 W) Chairman
Dies D., Tex.), said today the house
committee on un-American actlvi
ties may have to end 1U hearings
soon because its $25,000 expense fund
is running low.
Since President Roosevelt and
members of his administration have
taken some verbal digs at the com
mlttee. Dies was none too hopeful
of getting more cash after con
gress meets in January.
The $25,000 would have gone fur
ther, the chairman Indicated in a
radio address last night, had gov
ernment departments supplied law
yers, investigators, stenographers and
clerks In accordance with the house
resolution ordering the Investigation.
He said, however, appeals to the
Justice and labor departments, the
WPA, and finally to the president,
had brought no results.
In fact, he added, Secretary Per
kins and Secretary of the Interior
Ickes Joined "certain radical writ
ers" in a campaign "to discredit
the committee by ridicule and misrepresentation.
When the secretary of the senate
civil liberties committee offered to
aid in obtaining departmental per
sonnel. Dies asserted, it was refused
for fear of "sabotage."
By arrangement of the democra
tic national committee, Paul Y. An
derson, Washington correspondent of
the St Louis Star-Times and the Na
tion, followed Dies on the air. An
derson said he had seen some "slip
shod" and "shockingly unfair- con
gressional Investigations, but de
clared none had approached the
Dies committee's hearings in eith
er of those respects.
"Some of the most fantastic yarns
ever heard outside of an insane
asylum," he added, "are gravely ac
cepted by the committee without
the faintest effort to discover whe
ther the witnesses are credible or
responsible or whether they are
actuated by ulterior motives."
Anderson said the committee used
an "extraordinary presentation and
manipulation of witnesses" for poll'
tlcal effect, regardless of "the dam
age the truth suffers In the pro
cess." .
Dies contended, on the other hand,
- that every person or organization
against whom charges were made in
hearings had an invitation to ap
pear before the committee.
County Road Sought
In Santiam District
D. E. and H. J. Turnidge today appeared personally be
fore the county court with a request that a road which has
been graveled and improved in the southwestern part of the
county by contractors doing work-
for the government on a revetment
along the Santiam river be desig
nated a county road. The primary
object of the request, stated the pe
titioners, was to permit the exten
sion of a power line along the road
by the Mountain States power com
pany which, the Tumidge's said,
would not be granted by the power
Newspapers
Ruled Under
Wage-Hour Act
Washington, Nov. 1 (U.tt Wage
Hour Administrator Elmer P. An
drews ruled today that dally news
papers are subject to terms of the
wage-hour law.
In a letter to Elisha Hanson, at
torney for the American Newspaper
Publishers' association, Andrews said
"it Is the opinion of the general
counsel's office that newspapers are
not service establishments within
the meaning of section 13 (a) (2)'
of the new law.
Hanson had asked Andrews to de
fine the status of dally newspapers
In relation to the act and called his
attention to the section of the law
which exempts "any employe en
gaged in any retail or service estab
lishment the greater part of whose
selling or servicing is In intra
state commerce."
"You will note that section 13
(a) (8) provides an exemption for
'any employe employed in connec
tion with the publication of any
weekly or semi-weekly newspaper
with a circulation of less than 3000,
the major part of whose circulation
Is within the county where printed
and published,' " Andrews said.
"If congress had intended to ex
empt newspapers as service estab
lishments, It would not have exempt
ed a particular class of newspapers.
"The problem of overtime com
pensation you have mentioned, In
cluding the employment of report
ers on 'continuous assignments,' Is
being carefully studied."
Andrews already had said Infor
mally that he believes most report
ers are not professional workers but
he said today that a hearing may
be necessary on this question
company unless the road Is made a
county road.
It developed In the discussion,
that the road had been Improved
and graveled on both sides of the
river so the contractors could haul
rock and that the government also
was placing a ferry landing which
would permit establishment of a
ferry at that point and save Linn
county residents of that vicinity the
matter of a 10-mile extra haul Into
Salem. They said the matter was of
considerable Importance in this sec
tion as the rich bottom lands In the
region could develop large quanti
ties of produce for Salem canneries
as well as for the flax plant A free
ferry would not be Justified as yet
by the traffic, they said, but they
thought a toll ferry could operate
there.
The county court members said
they would look over the situation
and expected to kill two birds with
one stone In doing it. Contractors
on the 2500-foot revetment for the
Santiam District Improvement as
sociation, organized to sponsor this
special government flood control
proect, are hauling huge boulders
to build up the revetment, a large
number of trucks being in use. For
a portion of their haul they are go
ing over a newly oiled road and a
part of the way over graveled roads
and are said to be badly tearing up
the graveled surface. The court
wishes to Investigate and make such
restrictions as will give a guarantee
that the roads are put back in as
good condition as they were found.
Boulders being placed on the re
vetment work are said to be half as
large as an ordinary roll top desk
and the government is putting in a
very heavy Job in an effort to stem
flood waters of the Santiam and
keep them from further tearing out
great sections of land In that dis
trict.
Bronze Plaque
For Spanish War
Vets in Capitol
Governor Charles H. Martin will
accept a bronze plaque honoring
Oregon's volunteer soldiers of the
Spanish-American war in a speech
this Sunday in the foyer of the
new capltol.
Large numbers of visitors from
over the state will gather in the
building to witness the dedication
of the memorial plaque.
The bronze tablet carries the
words "Volunteers of 98," to com
memorate the only army which
was ever organized in this country
without draft. It will be placed In
the memorial section of the state-
house with other memorial pla
ques. The Spanish war veterans
and auxiliaries of Oregon are pre
senting the tablet.
Highlight of the ceremony, which
will be held at 1 p. m. Sunday, Is
the acceptance speech by Governor
Martin. Margaret P. Rodgers, de
partment president of the Spanish
war auxiliary, will give a short his
tory of the plaque, and Cora A.
Thompson of Portland, past na
tional president of the auxiliary,
will unveil It. Judd Stauffer of Eu
gene will dedicate and present the
memorial. The service will be closed
with a benediction by Rev. W. C.
Kantner.
tlon and my concern for them is in
exactly that order: first, grade
schools, high schools next and fin
ally our higher educational units.
I also want to see the teaching
profession, particularly in our coun
try schools, made so attractive that
the best talei.i will be obtainable.
To this end I believe that a retire
ment annuity should be provided
by the state for all teachers In such
districts.
"As one who has taught country
school, who has been principal and
then superintendent in small towns,
and then moved up the ladder notch
by notch. I am thoroughly conscious
of the school problems and intend to
see that the state gives every co
operation.

To Teachers
Hillsboro, Nov. 1 Charles A
Sprague, republican candidate for
governor, has always been Intensely
Interested in education, In better
support for rural schools and In the
steps needed to assure competent
and satisfied teachers, he told a
group of 700 teachers attending a
tri -county institute here Monday.
"I want to see a way found for
the state to lighten the district tax
burden," said Sprague. "But this
cannot be at any cost to our schools.
I believe It to be the duty of the
state to provide adequately for its
grade school, its high schools and
its departments of higher educa

Hundreds of listeners, particular

dio dramatization that frightened
thousands of listeners Sunday night
FCO Chairman Prank R. Mc-

a heavy agenda of routine work,
but It "might" discuss the Sunday
broadcast if the script and trans

Washington before the meeting be

are agreeable, well hold a special

Commission officials aaid they

refusing a renewal of contract. Op
