Cordon Watches
New Farm Bill
Directors of the Oregon Farm
Bureau federation, in session
here Thursday, were told by
Senator Guy Cordon that he was
going to watch the federation
and other farm organizations for
suggestions to guide him in
Washington.
He expressed doubt about the
farm bill passed recently in con
gress, declaring it was passed "in
the last hours without too much
study and didn't seem com
plete." He said, however, that he
had not yet analyzed the bill
carefully, and implied that he
wasn't yet ready to make close
criticism.
Senator Cordon voiced objec
tion to the importation of butter
and grain and other commodities
that are plentiful in this coun
try. He mentioned that the gov
ernment has large butter hold
ings in storage and that the pro
duction at home has been plen
tiful. For commodities produced
plentifully in this country he fa
vored giving the farmers the
first protection in the market.
The directors completed plans
for remodeling the new state
quarters of the federation and
the Oregon Farm Bureau Insur
ance company which has been
acquired at 444 Marion street.
Open House at
Washington
The latest in grade school con
struction and equipment were
on display Thursday night when
the Washington building, re

during the several weeks neces
sary to complete the job, pupils
were transported to the old
Washington school at Center and
12th streets.
A group of women, members
of the Women's club of the

Lewis Rejects
Dawson Again
Washington, Dec. 2 W) John
L. Lewis again refused today to
accept former federal Judge
Charles I. Dawson as a trustee
of the miners welfare fund.
Dawson had been designated
as the board member represent
ing the operators.
Senator Bridges (R., N.H.),
the "neutral" trustee, voted to
day In favor of seating Dawson.
Lewis, for the United Mine
Workers, voted against it, and
Dawson's vote in favor his own
acceptance was rejected by Lew
is. Dawson promised a statement
later on his next step to try to
take his post.
Because of the deadlock a
move by Lewis to resume full
pension and other welfare pay
ments to miners from the fund
was blocked.
Neither was Bridges able to
put over a motion to stop emer
gency payments to hospitalized
miners now being made from the
fund.
Hearing Set
On Peck Avenue
Paul Harvey, Jr., resident on
Peck avenue, appearing before
the county court Friday morn
ing asked that the proposed pav
ing improvement on that street
be kept alive and not thrown
into the discard because a ma
jority of the residents along
Morningside street had asked
that their petition for improve
ment be thrown out due to the
estimated cost. ,
The two improvements are
linked into one and the court
had intimated that if one was
discarded, probably the other
would be, as it doesn't fit in
with the general court policy.
A ray of hope was given to
Peck avenue citizens, however,
when the court took final action
and set December 9 as a time for
a hearing at which Peck avenue
proponents may make any
showing they care to in advo
cacy of their proposal.
County Judge Grant Murphy
said Morningside street is not
as yet definitely out but it is
not the intention of the court to
force an Improvement on any
body when It isn't wanted. A
check showed that six out of the
eight who signed the original
petition asking for the improve
ment had signed a remonstrance
against it and there were but
10 signers on the original peti
tion.
Dr. Fishbein, Stormy Petrel
Of Medicine Out of AMA
Chicago, Dec. 2 VP) Dr. Morris Fishbein, stormy petrel of
American medicine stepped down today from his job with the
American Medical association.
"It was impossible for me to continue under the circumstances,"
he said. "
His retirement as editor of
the AMA Journal and the AMA
health magazine, Hygeia, had
been expected since the AMA
trustees drastically clipped his
powers last June. They limited
his writing and speaking activi
ties strictly to scientific subjects.
They also announced Dr. Aus
tin Smith was being groomed to
succeed Dr. Fishbein when he
retired as Journal editor. Dr.
W. W. Bower, associate editor
of Hygca, will become editor of
that magazine.
Dr. Fishbein said: "I could not
produce the type of medical
journal I was accustomed to. I
could not speak freely and vig
orously on issues which I felt
were important.
The AMA did not comment on
Dr. Fishbcin's resignation. It
said only that his retirement "is
in the hands of the board of
trustees. The full board does
not meet until Dec. 6 in Wash
ington. An announcement con
cerning the matter will be made
then.

Dr, Frank A. Magruder
Dr. Magruder
Of OCS, Dies
Corvallis, Ore., Dec. 2 W)
Dr. Frank . A. Magruder, 67,
whose textbook, "The American
Government, was center of a
controversy at Houston, Tex.,
recently, died here early today.
Death was unexpected and
was presumed due to a heart at
tack.
A teacher, professor and au
thor, he had been on the faculty
of Oregon State college for 30
years prior to his recent retire
ment. Born at Woodstock, Va.,
he received his bachelor's de
gree, from Washington and Lee
in 1905 and his Ph.D. from Johns
Hopkins in 1911. From 1911 to
1917 he was an instructor in
politics at Princeton university
and in 1935-36 was interim head
of political science at the Uni
versity of Maryland.
Of his numerous textbooks,
the one on American govern
ment was best known, its 34th
edition now being In prepara
tion. A phrase in that book
deleted in later editions caus
ed the Houston school board to
ban it. It referred to public
free, education and old age as
sistance as examples of commu
nism. Other educators defended
the phrase as fact.
Paralyzing Fog in
Southern California
Los Angeles, Dec. 2 OP) Par
alyzing fog clutched the south
ern California coastal area again
today, impeding air, sea and
highway traffic for the 13th con
secutive day and causing a street
car accident in Los Angeles that
injured 19 persons.
Dr. Fishbein said the work
ahead of him will keep him
"busier than at any time in my
life." He said he will teach at
the Universities of Chicago and
Illinois, and retain his posts as
consultant for the American Red
Cross, the National. Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, and the
National Research Council.
He also is consultant medi
cal editor for the Doubleday
company publishing house, med
ical editor of the Encyclopedia
Britannica, and Excerpta Medl
ca, a Dutch publication. He will
continue to write monthly mag
azine articles and plans several
books.
He was with the AMA Journal

Says Bridges Got
Data for Reds
San Francisco, Dec. 2 (P)
The communist party wanted
data on every member of the
CIO Longshore union during the
1934 general strike here, a gov
ernment witness in the Harry
Bridges perjury trial said today.
The witness was heavy-set,
slightly-balding Henry
Schrimpf, a former Australian
longshoreman who fought
through the strike with Bridges.
Schrimpf testified that Norma
Perry, a former secretary of
Bridges, was to gather names,
addresses and affiliation of all
longshore union members.
"This was her assignment.
Schrimpf declared. "This would
be a great tool in the hands of
the communist party because
they could contact every long
shoreman on the beach when
ever they wanted."

Dog Saves Life
By Pulling Child
From Fishpond
Albany A Chesapeake Re
triever that lived up to her
name was credited Thursday
with a hero's role in saving
the life of her master's 17-months-old
son, Larry, who
was pulled out of a fish pond
In a neighbor's yard by the
dog Tuesday,
Larry, son of Mr. and Mrs,
Ed Scofield of North Albany,
was found by his mother,
soaking wt and lying face
down on the ground beside
the three-feed deep pond, aft
er the dog had come to her
and raced back to the spot.
Mrs. Scofield said Larry had
wandered over to the yard
while she was hanging up
clothes and apparently fell
headlong into the pond. She
said there were teeth marks
on the baby's legs, indicating
that Koko, his playmate, had
pulled him out feet first.
Mrs. Scofield airtl the neigh
bors agreed that the child
would have been unable to
save his own life, due to heavy
clothing and the slick sides
of the pool, and that only the
dog's fast action averted a
tragedy.
Larry recovered, quickly
from his dunking. A picket
fence has been placed about
the pool to prevent recurrence
of the accident.
Koko being very modest had
"no comment."

Eve. Show Cont. After 9:30
set up a plan, and proposed as
a means of financing the pro
gram an occupational tax esti
mated to produce about $30,000
a year. It recommended that
an ordinance be prepared, and
the council responded by direct
ing the city attorney to prepare
the bill.
Out of this came the occupa
tional tax bill that has never
been introduced, but has been
alive but dormant for many
months. Mayor Elfstrom told the
city council last Monday night
that he hoped the bill wouldn't
be necessary, and thought off
street parking might be financed
from parking meter funds.
The advisory committee's re
port last May proposed to estab
lish "various free and metered
areas" in downtown Salem,
South Salem, the university and
the Hollywood districts.
Surveys showed, the report
said, about 800 places that could
be used, and others could be ad
ded as needed.
The report remarked that a
means of financing was the first
consideration.
"Like all growing cities," it
said, "our traffic problems have
grown more paridly than our
tax receipts."
To provide money for a per
manent off-street parking sys
tem and to improve traffic con
trol the committee proposed a
moderate occupational tax, and
offered a schedule estimated to
yield $30,000 a year.
This amount," said the re
port, "would permit the rental,
preparation and maintenance
of permanent parking lots in
all the surveyed areas. Lots in
the congested districts could be
metered and made self-supporting."
The ant puts solid food in a
pocket back of its jaws. The food
is squeezed, the juice is swallow
ed and the rest is thrown away.
