Over 1000 Ask Jobless Pay Due to the usual slacking off of seasonal employment, the Salem office of the U. S. em ployment service is now in the process of taking care of nun dreds of men and women who are filing their claims for unem ployment compensation. A high mark in this connection was reached one day last week when 685 persons were processed. On the same day 316 were handled at the Woodburn branch, bring ing the total to more than 1,000 persons. January 15 is usually the date when the peak of unemployment is reached, W. H. Baillie, Salem manager stated Monday. Lay ing off of a number of men, many of whom have been work ing on a year round basis, is causing the rush for unemploy ment pay at this time. He ad ded that there is virtually no demand for common labor, al though several positions are available for skilled help. Never theless there are more persons employed now than at a similar time before the war, due to the fact that there are more Indus trial plants located here. The logging industry has held up well since last November's snow caused a temporary shut down of operations. It is esti mated that logging is within 10 per cent of maximum capacity The Salem farm labor office reports more men out of work than at any time in the history of its operations This is due to some extent to the arrival from middle western states of people who would like to settle in the valley. They are arriving almost daily. The situation is . expected to improve materially next month when farmers and orchardists start seasonal operations once more. J.

Pacific Highway Group Change Name and Re-elect Koozer Head The Oregon Pacific Highway voted to change the name to "U. planation given for the change provincialism. The association' by vote appointed Floyd L. Mar tin of Portland to be its represen tative at meetings of the Ore gon state highway commission, to attend in person or designate some other person. The a s s o ciation re-elected Ralph E. Koozer of Ashland as its president, and J. B. Coleman of Medford was made chairman of a committee on nomination of directors who will be elected at the afternoon session. The direc tors will elect vice president, sec retary and treasurer. In changing the name of the association members said they believed it desirable to eliminate the words "Oregon" and "Paci fic," the first to eliminate any hint of provincialism as against Washington and California, and the second to remove confusion with the Coast highway. The change will be filed with the state corporation commissioner. Maps or any other literature bearing the new name will car ry an explanatory line showing it is an international highway. In naming Martin, who is a member of the roads and high ways committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, as offi cial representative ,at meetings of the highway commission it was mentioned that ne could conveniently attend, while mem bers living a long distance from Portland, where most meetings are held, could not. Martin is keenly interested in the high way, and said that "improvement of Highway 99 is 25 years be hind and, if we don't get some action it will stay that way." Sectional bottlenecks in the highway were discussed, but the association decided not to bring pressure for work in specific spots, preferring to leave it to the judgment of the state com mission. The California wing of the as sociation was represented by O G. Steele of Yreka. Twelve Oregon cities are rep resented in the association. Most were represented. Basic police subjects will be covered in a training program of regional schools for city police men sponsored by the Oregon Association of City Police Offi cers during March and April with officers of nearby towns in vited to attend the series here. The program will probably con sist of one day of training each week for eight weeks with in structors to be drawn from fed eral, state and local law enforce ment officers and most of the teachers from the FBI and Port land. Salem is one of twelve ci ties cooperating in the project. Attending the 10-weeks course at the Link Instrument Trainer Instructors' school at the naval air training base at Corpus Christi, Texas, is S 2-c Emil Ur ban, son of Mrs. Iva Koenning of Silverton.

Volstead,' the man who more than any other, personified prohibition in the United States, died Monday at his Granite Falls home after having neen in virtual retire ment since the federal statute bearing his name was repealed in 1933. The western Minnesota county lawyer served in congress for 20 years and was chairman of the house judiciary committee when an enforcement act to Im plement the 18th amendment be came necessary in 1918. How much of that act Volstead himself wrote remained his secret when he died Monday at the age of 87. But in the pop ular mind that law became known as the Volstead act when it was passed by congress over President Wilson's veto. After his defeat in 1922, Vol stead continued his campaign against liquor started at the level of his own county by be coming legal adviser to the St. Paul, Mtnn., district prohibition enforcement headquarters, a post he held until repeal came in 1933. Volstead was adamant in re fusing interviews and pictures and once hung up the telephone on a London newspaper with the comment: "It was just an other wet newspaper." Although it was prohibition that won him fame, Volstead was also credited with drawing up and peeing enacted into law the farmers' cooperative act and the numerous bills to end the broad powers of President Wil son, granted in the emergency of World War I. Tax Bills (Continued from Page 1) Legislative ways and means committee members estimated today a state budget deficit of at least $13,000,000, instead of $6,000,0;0 as estimated by State Budget Director George Aiken. , Sen Dnan H. Walker, Indepen dence, chairman of the senate ways and means committee, said a preliminary study showed a $14,000,000 deficit, while Dr. F. H. Dammasch, house ways and means chairman, said the deficit is about $13,000,000. Both men emphasized that their estimates are only tenta tive, depending in a large meas ure on 'he disputed estimates of liquor profits for the next two years Governor Snell's proposal to take up $6,000,000 of the deficit by using corporation income tax surpluses is expected to reach the floor for final action in a few days, but house leaders said they doubt it will pass. They believe the money should con tinue to be used to reduce prop erty taxes. Woodburn Fights Freeway Bill The Woodburn district has joined in the fight against the freeway bill, which is coming into the present session of the legislature, and three Woodburn men were in conference with the Salem Chamber of Commerce, the Marion county delegation and others in opposition to the measure. Here from Woodburn were Earl H. Mattson, mayor; Pat McLaughlin, secretary of the Woodburn Chamber of Com merce. They said they were representing not only their own community, but business men all along the highway, and farmers whose access to Highway 99E would be affected by the bill if it were enacted into law. J. H. Fullenwiodcr, of Carl ton, was elected president Mon day night by the Willamette Pro Ruction Credit association. Oth - er omcers are Claude Buchan nan, Corvallis, vice president; P. M.

AMIINDSON , : Jh. 58U FoTAppohitment Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, Jan. 21, 19479 School Merger of Monmouth And Independence Defeated Monmouth, Ore., Jan. 21 A record vote of 401 ballots here defeated the proposed merger with the Independence school dis- ; trict and three small adjacent districts at the special election Monday. Monmouth voters re - jected the plan 261 to 140 though Independence favored it 150 to 13. The Highland district was unanimously for the merger with 20 ballots cast while Parker voted 9 to 7 for the merger. Result of the Mistletoe dis trict, not yet available, will not have any effect. The district is smaller than Highland with around half its assessed valua tion. If a protest is raised, there may be a revote taken in the Parker district because of the closeness of the vote. Heavy opposition developed here over the week-end and a determined campaign was launched against the merger. The plan considered sending all sen ior high school students to Inde pendence and all junior high school students to Monmouth. As a result of the election Highland and Parker will be consolidated with Independence. Misteltoe is in the Monmouth area. Major objection against the consolidation was the cost of bus es to transport pupils the short distance between Monmouth and Independence would be greater than the construction of addi tional facilities. Monmouth owns its own buses while Independ ence rents transportation. It was also pointed out that many per sons living in the area and em ployed in Salem, West Salem and Dallas would leave the district when suitable living quarters are available closer to the scene of employment. Some com plications also arose from the fact that both the elementary schools at Monmouth and Inde pendence are state-owned train ing schools for the Oregon Col lege of Education in Monmouth with 295 pupils enrolled at Mon mouth and 375 at Independence. Silverton Duplex Home Destroyed Silverton, Jan. 21 The H. N.

Marshall did not leave the train until about an hour and a , half after its arrival at Union station. When he finally em erged from his private car, the first thing Marshall did was to give reporters the oral statement in which he stated unequivocally that he could not be drafted for any political office. Statement Issued He said that he thought '"now is as good a time and place as any to terminate speculation" on his future political activities. I am assuming that the office of secretary of state, at least un der present conditions is non-po- litical and I am going to govern myself accordingly," Marshall said. "I will never became in volved in political matters and therefore I cannot be considered a candidate for political office. "There is a popular conception that no matter what a man lays he can be drafted for soma po litical office." But Marshall then added em phatically: "I cannot be drafted for any political office."
