Delay Delivery Of Photostatic Machine Marking time awaiting arrival of the $3,300 photostatic machine pur chased by the county and which was due to arrive here December 18 but wasn't on hand yet today, the county oourt. District Attor ney Page and County Recorder Brooks with one of ner oeputies, Mrs. Ethel Nlles, discussed various phases of use of the new machine. The location or the apparatus in the courthouse has not been defi nitely determined. At first the Idea was to place the apparatus In the recorder's office, but the recorder Indicated It would cramp her office Dace and suggestion la now made to place the equipment on tne tnira floor across from tne county ciera. in an office room now occupied by Commissioner Hewlett and County Land Agent William Thlelsen. While this would make it handler for the clerk's use It would take the eaulDment away frdm the record- era floor. No decision will be mada on the location until a rep. resentative or the concern which manufactures the machine returns nd passes Judgment on the ques tion. The district attorney discussed with the court today the matter of sir of sheets to be used In tne ma chine for photographic reproduc tion. A larger sheet la usea in Multnomah county than Clackamas county and costa 8 cents more per sheet. But the district attorney said there were some advantages in the larger sheet, such as a wider margin so the document Itself Is not thumbed over In turning the leaves of the official records and tha larger aheet makes a better lob senerally. However, the small er sheets have been ordered and it was the onlnlon of C. O. Ward court clerk, who has studied tne equipment and results in three counties, mat tne smaller aiicci io eauallv as good and that the larger sheet merely makes for waste. It Is likely the smaller sheet win oe adhered to as sufficiently large to handle any of the work required of the machine. TranscriDt has been filed with the county clerk from Jefferson Justice of the peace district binding Russell Barber over to the grand Jury on a charge of passing a check with In sufficient funds in the bank.

Dec 21 (P) Public hearings In the congressional Inves tigation of the TVA came to an end today more than nine months after congress authorized the sweeping in qulry Into the vast administration project. Failure of Edward C. M. Richard, former TVA forester to appear to testify, caused Senator Donahey (D. Ohio! to abandon a scheduled final hearing on the TVA committee. The chairman, with less than dozen persons present, including only four of the ten senate-house committee members, ordered a re cess subject to call during the noli dav season. With the $50,000 provided for the inquiry exhausted, members have agreed to ask congress for an ex tension of time and additional funds to complete the inquiry. The committee was to report January 3. Donahey told reporters he had prepared a brief committee report to congress on that date. Informed persons said this merely would show the committee had called certain witnesses and needed more time and funds to complete its work. Representative Jenkins (E., Ohio), TVA critic and committee member, said he believed the group would need an additional $25,000 to finish Its Investigations. The committee Is expected to postpone Is final report until the supreme court decides a challenge by private power companies on the constitutionality of the TVA act.

Al derman, with a bullet In the abdo men. was the only casualty. There was a light of hope In the Gimp's eyes as the Jury filed out of the court room. I like the looks of a couple or those little ladles on that Jury," he remarked. "I hope they are up there to bat for me. I hope they will speak a piece for me. They look like little ladles who can speak quite a piece If they want to." Undertaking on appeal has been filed by the defendants In the ease of F. M.

Count Ernst von Reventlow. We Germans have every Inter est in having the states ot South America strong and Independent," said an article by von Reventlow himself. 'In order that these qualities msy be fully developed It Is neces sary that among other things the Monroe doctrine and its various complements be abolished. "Nothing more than an act of will is necessary to do this." The four column article was cap tioned T forth American Imperial. Ism Under Jewish Leadership" and contained familiar nail strictures on tha alleged imperialistic attitude of the UVlted States toward Latin America. It said In conclusion: "Between the mixed population of the United States, with Its Jewish-dominated government, and the South American populations there Is not the least similarity, not to cpeak of affinity."

Daniels Reports On Mexican Oil Washington, Deo. 31 Pt Another phase of German-American rela tions came to the forefront today with arrival of Josephus Daniels. ambassador to Mexico, to report on whether Mexico Is selling Germany oil seized from American-owned wells. Daniels, en route to his home at Raleigh, N. C, for Christmas, came here to confer with Sumner Welles, acting secretary or state. Nearly a month ago Welles asked him to investigate reports Mexico had ent ered Into a deal with Oermany to supply up to $25,000,000 worth of petroleum. It was made clear then tne atate department had no concern In Mexican sale of Its own petroleum, but any disposition of American petroleum before an adjustment Is reached with the producers would cause deep concern here. The Mexican government last March took over all Mexican prop erty of American and British oil companies after they had refused to accept a supreme court verdict In a labor dispute. American losses have been placed by the companies concerned at about $150,000,000. Mexico places the valuation much lower. British demands for compensa tion or restitution of the property resulted in a severance of diplo matic relations between the two countries. The United States has not yet pressed claims of the Amer ican companies, which technically are still In litigation. Kenna to Head Building Trades Portland, Ore., Dee.

When about the same time -the city was Informed that the Marlon county court had autnorueo pay ment to the ctty of $9893.75 due the ally In Interest collected on delin quent taxes, It was at first believed the city might go ahead with con struction of the much-needed new barn to replace the old one. The cost of materials for the bam, or ware house as It Is being called, Is esti mated at $10,500, and the WPA has said It would be glad to receive ap plication for the labor outlay. David OHara. chairman .of tne ways and means committee of the city council, however, doea not be lieve an Immediate expenditure of the money to be received from the county should be planned. "It seems Inadvisable to make piana for the immediate expenditure of the money the city will receive as a result of Marion county's ad justment of tax Interest and penal ties," Alderman O'Hara said today. "As a matter of fact, this money be longs to existing operating funds In hich there are deficits. For Instance there Is a large shortage In the bond and Interest fund due to delinquency In tax payments over a period of years. If these taxes do not come In, and It Is certain that some part of them never will, It will soon be nec essary for the ctty to u.-tt a general tax levy to cover the shrinkage. "It would seem to be better busi ness to credit the contemplated pay ment by the county to the bond sink ing fund than to treat It as a wind fall to be expended for an unbud- geted purpose. An Item for the ctty barn or warehouse should be plaoed In the 1940 budget and financed from the normal s per cent consti tutional Increase that Is usually ap portioned among tha different mu nicipal activities for needless depart mental expansion. When small home owners receive their statement from the sheriff In two months from now and find that their taxes have Increased from $6 to $10 over last year, due princi pally to swollen school debts, I think there will be general agreement that the prodigal and prodigious expen diture of publto funds should be curtailed."
