Hopkins Before Grand Jury
Investigating Forged Letter
Washington, Jan. 21 UP) Harry Hopkins, White House con
fidante who has charged that his name was forged to a letter
relating to Wendell Willkie's possible renominalion for the presi
dency by the republicans this
year, today made a voluntary
appearance before the grand
Jury investigating the letter.
Recently ill with influenza,
Hopkins left his bed in naval
hospital to testify in connection
with the mysterious letter, cur
rently providing the capital with
a prime topic of conversation,
and speculation. The witness
looked far from well, but told
reporters he felt "so-so."

Ceiling Prices I
On Vegetables
Washington, Jan. 21 (UP)
The office of price administra
tion today announced the new
schedule of maximum prices for
fresh carrots, spinach, peas,
snap beans, eggplant, pppers,
and cucumbers which is design
ed to forestall a repetition of
last winter's sharp Increases.
The new price schedule ap
plies directly to all but the re
tall level. Consumers will bone
fit by it In February when local
OPA offices set community dol-lars-and-cents
prices.
New prices for eggplant, pep
pers and cucumbers will show
marked reductions under the
1943 highs. The other four
vegetables show decreases In
some months and Increases in
others, as the relatively stable
pries for this year contrast with
the "erratic fluctuations" of last
year's vegetable market, the
OPA said.
Six additional vegetables
lima beans, cabbage, lettuce,
cauliflower, celery and toma
toes will be similarly control
led In the near' future, the OPA
said, to complete the previously
announced 13-vegtable price
control measure.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said the regulation pro
vides a solid framework for
stabilizing retail prices, and
paves the way for community
wide prices and cents per pound
or bunch, plus providing the
. housewife and the retailer the
simplest and most effective
form of price control.
Firm Tone
Wheat Futures
Chicago, Jaif. 21 (U.I!) Wheat
futures retained a firm tone and
other grains turned irregularly
lower on the board of trade to
day. Led by the break in rye, all
grains closed unevenly lower.
Wheat finished the day off 'A
to up cent a bushel; oats up
hi to off Mi, rye off Va to
and barley unchanged to off .
Activj trading took place In
the wheat pit with prices at the
highest level in a week. Some
of the buying was believed to
b against sales of cash wheat
and partly due to short cover
ing. Pit traders and commission
houses supplied the offerings.
Late prices erased most of the
early gain In sympathy with the
break in rye.
Modern Miller, trade publica
tion, reported comparatively
little rain in he main winter
wheat and corn bells in the last
week and some concern was felt
In view of the prolonged late
fall and winter drought. An
alysts said there is no pressing
need for rain now but contin
ued dry weather has caused
some apprehension over future
supplies.
The Kansas Ciiy board of
trade today look a stand against
unnecessary and Improper
markups in the sale of wheat,
urging members not to partici
pate with dealers not subject to
exchange rules.
Rye trading declined sharply
when local traders tried to sell
grain bought early and found
demand limited. The market
broke almost two . cents rfom
high points before commission
house buying developed.
Oats trading was confined to
narrow volume and a dull tone
prevailed.

Pass the Cookies
Aboard a Liberator Bomber
Over Wewak, Jan. 21 W When
Japanese air strength based on
wewak refused to accept an
American challenge, the raid
turned out so mild that Engineer
Tech. Sgt. Norman B. Smith.
Forest Grove, Ore., passed
around cookies on the return
trip.
The Fifth army air force sent
a force of two score heavy
bombers over the Jap-held field
In an effort to draw a fight. Ja
panese fighters took to the air
but instead of fighting, scurried
out to sea and hid In the cloud
cover.
vestigation said he had not been !
subpoenaed.
Hopkins spent ten minutes in i
the grand jury room and as he
departed he repeated to report,
ers his assertion that the letter
is a forgery, adding:
'I think I know who the
forger is."
Henry A. Schweinhaut, in
charge of the investigation for
the justice department, an
nounced that Frank Phillips,
Oklahoma oil executive, would
testify before the grand jury
later in the day. Phillips' name
was brought into the case by
Senator Langer (R., N.D.), who,
in asking a senate investigation,
said the oil man at one time had
possession of the letter, Phil
lips has denied this.
The "Hopkins' letter thril
ler," current Washington cause
celcbre, blossomed into a maze
of charges and countercharges
but a special assistant to the at
torney general announced that
the case is "very simple." He
didn't elaborate.
Known facts are these:
That an anti-Wendell L. Will-
kic book was published last fall
containing a letter over the
name of President Roosevelt's
personal advisor, Harry Hop
kins, predicting that Willkie
would be the 1944 republican
presidential nominee and that
"good cooperation" could be
promised from this quarter;
That the letter, denounced as
a forgery by Hopkins who de
manded and got a grand jury
investigation, was addressed to
Dr. Umphrey Lee, of Texas;
That the author of the book,
C. Nelson Sparks, said he got
the letter from George M.
Briggs, aide to Interior Secre
tary Ickcs, "and through Briggs
from Ickcs.
That Ickes has denied any
connection with the case and has
suspended Briggs who is in se
clusion, but, according to feder
al officials, available for ques
tioning "at any time."
Stocks Advance
Irregularly
New York, Jan. 21 W Rails
and specialties continued to
furnish such rising power as ap
peared into today's stock mar
ket. Gains at the best ran to a
point or so but these were
trimmed in many cases near the
close and minus signs were plen
tiful for leaders. Transfers
were around 800,000 shares.
Bullish sentiment was buoyed
by another batch of pleasing div
idends and earnings statements
in addition to more optimistic
tax propects and the general
business outlook.
Ahead a greater part of the
proceedings wore Swift & Co.,
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, N.
Y. Central, Coty, Western Un
ion, General Electric, United
Aircraft and Woolworth. Strag
glers included Weslinghouse,
Anaconda, Douglas Aircraft, Du
Pont and Johns-Manville.

Bond Issue for
Sewage Disposal
Portland, Jan. 21 M-iA S12.
000,000 bond issue was proposed
today in Portland to finance a
long advocated sewage disposal
plant.
The proposal came from three
members of the city council,
who recommended a cily-wide
vote on the measure at the May
19 primary election.
The bonds would finance the
plant as a post-war project.
The plant long has been advo
cated as a part of the campaign
to clean up the Willamette river,
but financing plans have held
back start of actual work.
Debate on the bond issue Is
scheduled by the council for
next Wednesday.

Axe Wielded on
Jap Decorations
Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 21
W) Just as a red cloth infuri
ates a bull, so do pictures of
grinning Jap geisha girls on
wallpaper enrage an elderly
Cambridge man who has two
sons in the armed services.
When a complaint was receiv
ed by police that someone was
wielding an axe in the man's
apartment, officers hurried to
the address and, they reported,
the occupant readily admitted
he had been at work on the
walls. They quoted hirri as say
ing:
"I've been here about two
weeks but just noticed that Ja
panose geisha girls were smll
ing down at me from the wall
paper. That was too much. I
have two sons fighting in the
Solomons. So I set out to Imi
tate them by eliminating all
the Japanese around me."
Police took no action.
Roosevelt Ignores Democratic
Clamor for Fourth Term Draft
Washington, Jan. 21 (P) President Roosevelt probably will
ignore the fourth terms draft noise being created by members
of the democratic national committee so completely that he may
not even send an official mes--
sage to the committee's meet
ing here tomorrow.
Although the president will
receive committee members,
their wives and husbands at the
While House this afternoon,
party leaders said there was no
Indication that Mr. Roosevelt
planned either to address them
by radio as he did last year or
to send the party faithful a mes
sage of cheer at tomorrow
night's banquet.
The president, explained
Chairman Frank C. Walker, is
nine days behind on his ap
pointments because of a bout
with the "flu." And, Walker
added, there is a war on his
statement implying that situa
tion left little time for politics
now,
In spite of this seeming cold
shoulder, the chorus of fourth
term demands grew louder to
day as additional delegates ar
rived for tomorrow's session to
select Robert E. Hanncgan as
national chairman to succeed
Walker and to fix Chicago as
the site for the party's nomi
nating convention. The date of
the convention may be left to
the new chairman, although

Farmers Plan
All Out Crops
Corvallis, Jan. 21 ifi Oregon
farmers are again planning for
all-out production in 1944, and,
given favorable weather, may
equal or exceed most of the ma
jor goals set for this state.
So said R. B. Taylor, state
chairman of the AAA commit
tee, and W. A. Schoenfeld, di
rector of extension, following a
week of production planning
meetings held throughout the
state.
A more detailed report on the
outlook for the state has been
prepared from county reports
for announcement later.
One favorable factor Is that
the mild winter thus far has re
sulted in marked savings in live
stock feed which, if normal con
ditions continue, will largely
avert what appeared to be a
critical situation last fall.
Though faced with serious la
bor problems, farmers are not
generally restricting their plans
for fear of labor shortages, the
reports Indicate. Better organ
ization last season plus favor
able weather and some other
factors made it possible to har
vest practically ail crops, and
growers are hoping for equal
success thir year.
Payroll Hils
All-Time High
Oregon's 1 043 industrial pay
roll soared to an ail-time record
of $569,295,553, compared with
$353,711,827 in 1942, the previ
ous high mark, figures from the
state industrial accident com
mission showed today.
The total swelled by war in
dustries, was more than three
times as great as the payroll for
1940, last full pre-war year.
Multnomah county's payroll was
more than six times as large as
in 1940.
The year's payroll for Mult
nomah county only was $399,
268,805, more than two-thirds
of the state total, and almost
double the county's 1942 pay
check.
The biggest monthly payroll
for the state in' 1943 was $53,
196,667 In August, largest
monthly total in the state's his
tory. In 1940 a $15,000,000
monthly payroll was considered
big.

starting time.
The fourth term boom, start
ed by former Gov. Culbcrt L.
Olson of California, found re
cruits today in Gov. Robert S.
Kerr of Oklahoma, a national
committeeman; Thomas R.
King, Wisconsin's national com
mittee member; Elmer F. Kelm,
Minnesota state chairman, and
Jake More, Iowa state chair
man. Their theme was that their
state delegations would support
Roosevelt, that with the presi
dent at the head of the ticket
the democrats would win, and
that without him they were
sunk.
The midwest democratic con
ference this afternoon unani
mously approved a resolution
endosing President Roosevelt
for a fourth term. The resolu
tion also recommended the se
lection of Robert Hanncgan of
Missouri, commissioner of inter
nal revenue, to be chairman of
the democratic national com
mittee. Frank C. Walker Is ex
pected to resign as chairman at
tomorrow'! national committee
meeting.
" a uniform federal ballot but
leaving vote-counting authority
under state control. Several
staunch senate defenders of
states' rights swung quickly be
hind the compromise measure,
and - its co-sponsor, Senator
Lucas (D., III.), predicted it
would be passed by the senate,
which earlier rejected another
federal ballot plan and substi
tuted a requirement that serv
ice personnel cast state absen
tee ballots or none at all.
As re-drafted, the bill omits
controversial sections voiding
state poll tax and registration
requirements. In addition, it
specifically provides that duly
constituted state and local elec
tion officials shall have full au
thority to determine whether
individual servicemen or women
are qualified to vote.
Senator Tydings (D., Md.)
hailed the latter provision asa
"great victory" for states' rights
advocates. He said the local
control amendment would give
state and precinct officials all
the authority they need to en
force state election statutes.
Senator Connally (D., Tex.),
long a foe of federal legislation
to repeal state poll taxes, ex
pressed a similar view.
Approved, 12 to 2, by the
committee, with Senators Rev
ercomb (R., W.Va.) and Moore
(R., Okla.)- opposing, the bill
authorizes a federal ballot un
der which servicemen at home
or overseas could vote for pres
ident or vice president or mem
bers of congress by writing in
names of candidates or political
parties.
It directs the army and navy
to distribute where practicable
post card forms on which appli
cation could be made for state
absentee ballots for voting for
state and local candidates.
A four-member bipartisan
federal ballot commission would
be appointed by the president.
