The governors charged Volland.
Leeb and Henderson were appoint

Callan, although commended

acted with "gross Impropriety." In
some Instances fees were described
as "Illegal," "excessive," and "exor

wherein such suspicious to an out

Revamping Plan
Being Drafted
Washington, April 31 iVP Presi
dent Roosevelt Indicated today con
solidation of various government
lending agencies was under consid
eration In connection with exercis
ing his reorganization powers. He
added no decisions had yet been
reached.
The president told a press confer
ence he may have two reorganiza
tion plans to send to congress next
week, but he would not disclose what
departments or independent agen
cies were Involved.
He said there was no substance
to a report heard on Capitol H1U
Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the re
construction finance corporation
would be made secretary of com
merce to succeed Harry U Hopkins,
who has been 111 recently.
Mr. Roosevelt labeled as guess-
work reports the RFC and various
housing lending agencies would be
transferred to the department ox
commerce.
He added there were three
four ways of working out reorgani
zation of such agencies.
As an example of the problems
he is trying to solve through reor
ganization, Mr. Roosevelt said there
were four or five lending agencies
and It was physically impossible for
him as chief executive to see the
heads of all of these when some
conflict of opinion developed be
tween them.

Laiky Attacks
Myers Financing
Of PUD Deals
Condemnation proceeding! by
Washington utility districts against
ths Puget Sound Power and Light
oompany were decided upon only af
ter the oompany "definitely refused
to discuss terms, price or conditions
of sale," Herman E. Larky, secretary
and attorney for the Southwest
Washington Utility District associa
tion, said In a prepared statement
today.
He denied that tha decision to
condemn the properties was s de
parture from the policies of the late
D. Ross, Bonneville administrator.
Lafky charged that Guy O. Myers,
New York financier who has been
assisting In financing districts In
Washington and Nebraska, was a
'stooge" of ths president of En-
glneer Publio Service company,
holding company which controls the
Puget Sound Power and Light Co,
Ths condemnation proceedings.
Lafky said, "does mark ths end of
Guy C. Myers In his plan of nego-
tlaitlons' resulting In paying the
company price, with fees to Myers
of 2 per cent."
Lafky further accused Myers of
Joining with the power company in
recommending .that the districts
"drop all litigation and sit back and
do nothing while Mr. Myers contin
ued negotiating." This plan, he said
would have forced districts to pay
from 60 to 100 per cent more than
the actual value of the company
properties.
"With a fee of 2tt per cent from
ths PUD'S In floating $200,000,000
worth of bonds x x x It Is easy to
understand why Mr. Myers and his
associates now accuse the PUD at
torneys of selfish motives in filing
condemnation proceedings." -
Shaw Selfish as
Euthanasia Fan
London, April 31 VP) George
Bernard 8haw said today he
thought the human race should
practice euthanasia the putting to
death painlessly of those suffering
from Incurable diseases.
Shaw, who Is 83, gave the fol
lowing comment on his election as
vice-president of the Voluntary
Euthanasia Legalization society,
which hopes to push a bill through
parliament legalizing "mercy kill
ings."
After an, there are circum
stances in which It Is rather unrea
sonable to persist In living.
'Now that I am In my dotage I
am coming around to that conclu
sion more and mors but X hasten to
add there Is not the slightest hope
for humankind that I shall practice
euthanasia myself. That may be a
little Inconsistent but I always like
to be selfish."

Willamina Case
Before Labor Council
The controversy over employment
in construction of the Willamina
plywood mill was misrepresented in
dispatches from McMlnnvllle, C. W
Orary, business agent for the Salem
Building Trades Council, declared
last night.
Crary said the local unions, which
have jurisdiction over part of Yam
hill county, would stand by a pledge
to give work to men who were
bonaflde residents of Willamina
when the mill Job began, provided
they joined the unions, but would
not give preference to newcomers
over unemployed union members.
Ha ssld through a misunderstand
ing, men were hired by ths con
tractor from an unofficial registra
tion list at Willamina and Sheridan
that contained names of men who
were not bonaflde residents under
the terms of ths agreement.

Bonneville
Debated at
Woodbum, April 21 Acquisition of a cemetery waa one
of the achievements of the town of Canby when the munici
pality purchased the privately owned power plant some years
ago, snd revenues derived from tne-
light and water fund mads possible
taking over ths cemetery which had
been found to be Impoverished fi
nancially, was revealed by M. J. Lee
of Canby, member of tha city coun
cil, one of the original sponsors of
the public power movement and one
of the most enthusiastic promoters
of Bonneville power, Ths meeting
was held Thursday night.
Under Instructions of ths wood-
bum Chamber of Commerce, Mayor
H. M. Austin explained ha had
called the meeting to discuss the
question of obtaining power from
Bonneville. Rodney Aioer, wooa
burn publisher, was chosen secre
tary of the meeting which was at
tended by 60 persons.
After more than two hours of dis
cussion In which Lee absorbed tht
major portion of ths time. It was1
voted that ths mayor, who was
chairman of the meeting, be author
ized to appoint a committee of seven
Woodbum residents to canvass the
territory and report back their find
ings as to whether Woodbum wants
Bonneville power or not. Austin an
nounced that he would name the
committee within a few days, then
a mass meeting will be called to de
cide the matter.
Beck Sends Substitute-
M. F. Grtgnon, assistant to Rob
ert W. Beck, chief engineer of the
Bonneville project, made belated ap
pearance at the meeting, explaining
that he got lost and could not find
Woodbum en route from Portland
Orlgnon represented Beck who was
unavoidably detained. Orlgnon ex.
plained as best he could questions
propounded to him by A. a. Leary
West Woodbum hatchery owner,
and Henry Chappelle, farmet of the
district. Fear that only one trans
mission 11ns would not suffice to
protect the numerous poultry Incu
bators In ths valley In event of de
struction of the main line by falling
trees was expressed by Leary and
this was answered by orlgnon say
ing that all trees in proximity to the
line will be removed. Leary also
voiced satisfaction at the service of
ths present private company which,
he said, tn emergency, could always
hook up with other plants In case
of power trouble.
Tf ths government doeent man
age Bonneville any better than It
does a lot of other projects, such as
railroads, I cant ses when much
will be accomplished,' taid Leary.
"If ths city of Woodbum wsnts
Bonneville power they had- better
buy out ths old oompany which you
can probably get at its present phy
sical value and If you get Bonneville
you will be on ths Portland-Eugene
line and can make your own rates,"
said Lee. -

Ta estimate ths number of per

the fractional balance Is not
matter of great concern, while
as a matter of fact, even
one per cent disorder may In
sidiously, or otherwise. Increase
to a degree where healing
measures of the doctor of medi
cine are permanently hindered.
The joys of life are measured
by ths unmistakable exuber
ance of perfect health not
eighty-five or ninety per cent

The one man who can aid you
In the restoration of that ten ot

Kipp Talks of
Val ey Project
And lis Prospects
The dam site with ths fewest ob
stacles, natural or otherwise will
probably bs the scene of ths first
work tn connection with the flood
control program of ths Willamette
valley. In the opinion of R. H. Kipp,
executive secretary of ths Willam
ette river basin commission In ad
dressing the Salem Realty Board
Friday noon. Kipp did not venture
to predict where this would be, de
claring that the army engineers
would not divulge this Information
until all details have been complet
ed. However, he did say that the
North Santlam project teU Into tha
category of "few obstacles." He add
ed that reconstruction of the high
way around the proposed dam six
miles below Detroit, oould easily bs
tied In with ths dam construction
projects In other portions of ths
valley, providing sufficient funds
were on hand.
Kipp predicted that Salem would
be "The Da Ilea of tha Willamette
valley' when the Initial 192,000.000
development has been completed.
A six foot channel the year round
from Salem to Oregon City, plus a
new million dollar set .of locks at
the latter place would make way
for barge transportation with $200,
000 boats. Kipp said, however. It Is
likely the first benefits of ths pro
ject would go to Lane county where
majority of the dame are to oe
constructed. "From a navigation
standpoint, Salem Is sitting In
beautiful spot," he emphasized.
Kipp warned against Injecting Ir
rigation or power schemes Into pro
ceedings at this point and said that
"projects which have progressed aa
far as this one bave been killed."
Later on power and Irrigation can
be taken up through the proper
channels.
Speaking of the effect upon fish
life, Kipp quoted a man whom he
claimed to be an authority that
there will be more fish In tha (90
miles remaining In the stream than
there exists In the 1,000 miles with
out the development." He admitted
that the banks of the reservoirs
would not bs attractive during the
late summer for the water must be
drawn out each year tn order to
prepare for the winter rains.
