Two Big Features WILLIAM BOYD in "STAGECOACH WAR"' Festival HITtl i Five Great DISNEY lim.ii E orum Contributions to this column must be confined to 300 words and signed by writer To the Editor: Since the Oregon Commonwealth Federation seems to be the favorite editorial target of your publication, we try to read what you write with more devotion than we are able to give to most papers. (Otherwise, I assure you, we have done little to Increase your circulation.) We usually read your editorial blasts, post them on our bulletin board, and nothing more. Your editorial of Wednesday, how ever, entitled "Busy Travelers," con tained in Its two paragraphs such an amazing succession of Inaccura cies that I am moved to call them to your attention. Your opening statement that I have Just been to Washington, D. C, was correct. There then followed, however, the following statements which would seem to Indicate that your writer neglected his homework in his search for fact: 1. Assistant Attorney Genera Norman Llttell Is not and never has been connected with the Washing ton Commonwealth Federation, and, in fact, Is Identified with those who oppose that organization. a. You state that both Llttell (whose name you misspell) and Commonwealth President S. Steph enson Smith have been appointed to new deal "sinecurles" (sic.) Presi dent Smith neither has nor does hold any new deal appointment but is an official of the American 6o clety of Composers, Authors and Publishers. 3. You then nominate Senator Harry M. Kenln to be WPA admin istrator for Oregon, and state that this was one of the objectives of mv visit to Washington. Now that you mention it, senator Kenln wouldn't be a bad choice, since he would pro bably put considerable humanity in to the WPA administration, but I saw no one In this connection while in Washington, and Seator Kenln is In no sense a candidate for this position. But to the last statement in your editorial we cannot take exception: The Commonwealth Federation would like to see the leadership of the democratic party really begin to represent the progressive-New Deal-Roosevelt sentiment of the part"3 own rank and file. Sincerely yours, MONROE SWEETLAND, Executive Secretary.
