Medical Shake-Up
and his assistant, Mrs. May Casey,
were both shaken out of their jobs
and Miss Lorienne M. Conley was
installed as executive secretary. Dr.
Wood, prominent Portland Demo
cratic party worker, who also re
signed as a member of the board,
charges that the shake-up was pure
ly political. This is denied by the
governor who says that he found it
necessary to take the bull by the
horns" to reorganize the adminis
trative staff of the board because
of constant turmoil in the ranks.
Mrs. Casey, Wood's assistant, was
also a Democrat while Miss Conley
the new secretary is a republican
and has for several sessions past
Salem Political interest through
out Oregon these days ispretty well
centered in the pending ceremony at
which Senator Charles L. McNary is
to be officially notified by the Re
publican party that he has been
selected as their candidate for the
vice -presidency. This ceremony, the
time nor place for which has yet
been fixed, is expected to attract
between 10,000 and 20,000 persons
to Salem, including many members
of congress and other dignitaries
high in the ranks of the Republican
party.
Senator McNary has expressed a
desire that the ceremony be staged
at Fircone, his beautiful country
home, north of Salem. A survey of
the situation this week by Governor
Sprague and Ralph Cake, republican
national committeeman for Oregon,
has revealed that arrangements can
be made to accommodate a huge
crowd at Fircone but that these ar
rangements include the uprooting of
a number of the senator's young
filbert trees. Whether McNary is
willing to agree to any such an ar
rangement or would prefer to waive
personal sentiment and agree to the
use of Oregon's capitol as a setting
for the notification ceremony, is to
be determined at a conference be
tween the senator and Cake in
Washington this week. This confer
ence will also probably determine
the date for the ceremony, which,
it is understood somewhat hingesu p
on what congress will do about ad
journment. Should the ceremonies be staged
at Fircone, it is pointed out, it will
be necessary to construct temporary
seats for thousands of visitors in ad
dition to a platform for the speakers
and the distinguished guests. If, on
the other hand, the state capitol is
selected as the site for the ceremony
the notification would be staged
from the steps in front of the build
ing with "standing room" for thou
sands available in the huge plaza.
Governor Sprague has refused to
grant the request of Claude E. Cline,
condemned slayer, for executive
clemency because of insanity. The
governor's refusal was based upon
a report by Dr. John Evans, super
intendent of the state hospital, that
an examination of Cline revealed
no evidence of insanity. Cline is un
der sentence to die July 26 in the
gas chamber at the state prison for
the murder of his mining partner,
. George Chetty. Cline refused to ap
peal his case to the supreme court,
relying instead upon the hope that
the govenor might be moved to set
aside the death sentence.
Pedestrians are getting a break at
last. They contributed fewer mem
bers to the long list of traffic fatal
ities in June than during any other
month this year, according to Sec
retary of State Earl Snell. Of the
35 persons who met death as the
result of traffic accidents last month
only eight were pedestrians, Snell
reports.
State Treasurer Walter Pearson
reported Saturday that he had bor
rowed $100,000 on liquor certificates
to keep the state relief fund on a
cash basis. This is the first bor
rowing found necessary since the
last legislature wiped out the relief
debt and started the relief fund out
with a sizeable cash appropriation
for the current biennium. With the
general fund appropriation long
since expended and relief outlays
considerably exceeding liquor pro
fits Pearson figures that it will be
necessary to borrow between $800,
000 and $1,000,000 for relief pur
poses before another legislative ses
sion rolls around to make another
appropriation.
Governor Sprague took time out
from his other duties this week to
shake up the State Board of Medical
Examiners. As a result Dr. Joseph
F. Wood, secretary to the board,

In pursuit of the state's policy of
acquiring property in the blocks
immediately north of the new cap
itol, the Board of Control this week
purchased the home of former state
senator, Chas. K. Spaulding and B.
Miles, paying $25,507.50 ad $27,382.50
respectively for the properties. These
properties, two of the most substan
tial homes in the capital city, will
be rented by the state if tenants can
be found, until such time as the
space is needed 1 for another state
building. Purchase of the properties
was authorized by the last legisla
ture which made available a fund
of $100,000 to be used by the Board
of Control for this purpose.
A class of 121 law school gradu
ates, six of them women, took the
annual bar examinations here last
week. This was the largest class to
take the tests since 1929, according
to Arthur S. Benson, clerk of the
supreme court.
If there is any big rush to "see
America first" on the part of sum
mer tourists who are unable to
make their usual European visits
because of the war Oregon has not
yet begun to feel the effects of it.
In fact tourist traffic so far this year
is far below that of former years.
Records compiled by the state de
partment show that tourist travel
into Oregon is 10.7 percent below
the record for 1939. In the first six
months of this year only 47,292 out-of-state
automobiles were register
ed in this state compared to 33,014
