GREETED AFTER RECORD FLIGHT Today OF FRUIT By Arthur Brisbane Fish Can Hear. More Berlin Riots. Alas! The Farmer. Garter and Chrysanthemum. EXCLUSION ROSEBURG ASSASSIN HAD MASK SINCLAIR ABSCONDER DEBENTURE READY FOR OF MEXICAN PLAN IRKS JAIL TERMGOLD HELD MR. HOOVER PROTESTED (Copyright by King Features) Syndicate, Inc.) Professor Karl von: Friscli, of Munich university, says fish can 'hear. They pay no attention to sound, above or in the water, because sound means nothing to the fish, just as Einstein's theory means nothing .to the average human. .' Professor Von Frisch lias taught one small, blind fish to come from ; its hiding plane When he blows a whistle. M Darwin says the car of man is the gill of the fisli, devel t oped for hearing. Occasion ally, as dQctors tell you, chil dren are horn wilh gills woven on the neck. They must he sewed up to keep the milk from running out. Darwin, himself, couldn't tell how the eye was developed or evolved in an animal. Per haps Von Frisch will clear that up. More rioting yesterday by "reds," ultra-radicals of Ber lin, who charged the police with clubs and stones- The police replied with machine guns. Two women were, killed . by automatic rifles as they stood on a balcony. . Such happenings will affect ..Ji:)ie,ic,Qniiju,eJelctiiiii hi jVipimJ Lnhke those that live on tlie continent, Britishers like poli tics without gunfire. More deadly rioting in Berlin will be bad for the labor party in Britain. To -help farmers export sur plus wheat at a profit, 13 rail roads from the middle west to the Atlantic will reduce prices, temporarily. That will not enable Anion can farmers to compete with Canadian wheat growers. If Uncle Sam could do for his farmers what he did for Canadian farmers in the north- ,' west when he built the Panama canal, that would help. Thanks to the Panama canal northwest Canada can ship wheat to Kuropc 'much more cheaply than it can be shipped from the middle west. Canada has tihe grain. Bri tain has the ships. We supply the canal, giving all nations the same rate as our own ships. In Tokio yesterday Prince Henry, 'third son of King George, kneeling before the Mikado Ilirohito, fastened on his left leg a purple garter. England's highest order of knighthood. On the garter is written in old French, . "Shame on him I who thinks evil." 'A British king is supposed to have picked tip a lady's garter on the ballroom floor, and fas tened it on his own leg. The mikado- gave Prince Henry the highest Japanese decoration, the Grand Order of the Chrysanthemum, more dignified and romantic than the garter- Uncle -Sam has nothing to give those foreigners, except money. llilp iissnctulum yes toidtiv voted 84"i to -W7 for n icicttn yiiiu f repeal m l"" . niiienilment and Hie Volstead net, nnd resolved flint every state should retrnl.tte its own drinkinf!. (Continued on fwi Four). Even State G. 0- P. Heads Take Hand In Agitation ' McNary Says Growers Fail to Understand New Farm Bill Upstate Pro ducers Combat' Exemp-1 tion Apple Raisers Most Concerned. PORTLAND, Ore. May 4. (P) Thfi Oregon Inn will say tomororw that agitation from some sections of the fruit and vegetable produc ing centers of the Pacific north west for exemption of tlie.so com modities from the operations of the ponding farm relief bill, brought Kharp counter attack today from a .number" . of Oregon co-operatives 'opposing such exclusion. The exemptions would bo grant ed under an amendment proposed by Senator McNary, Oregon, and subsequently taken over by Senator Copeland, .New iork. The demand to be removed from 'the jurisdiction of the proposed farm board, the Oregonian will say, has come chiefly from the com mission merchants in eastern cen ters, but was also supported by three marketing organizations in Medford, Ore. Opponents of the amendment in Oregon who wired Senator McNary today Include ltalph K. Williams, republican national committeeman, and Phil Metschan, chairman of the state central committee, indi cating that the state organization lis concerned over the effort to drop fruits and vegetables from the farm bill. "j Other protestants against exclu sion are the I'mpcpia flrocooli ex change, H o h e b u r g; -Rosehurg trhflmbertrf convnteroet'RIue Moun tain Prune ft rowers of Milton; Co operative Fruit Growers of Ku gene: Producers Canning company of Salem; Dallas Co-operative Growers; Grower.,' co-operative j soctatlon of Portland nnd the Douglas County Horticultural as sociation of Roseburg. Senator McNary in reply to the telegrams In opposition to the amendment, telegraphed that the demand for deletion of fruits, and vegetable's from the list of com-1 modltres affected by the bill has been strongly presented by almost ; the same groups which obtained simitar exemption from the terms (of the previous McNnry-ITaugen bill. They conferred with him di rectly, but later asked .Senator Copeland to take charge of the .ease inasmuch ns the requests came from commission merchants in the Empire state. The Oregon senator believes that 1 the growers who have asked to be excluded from the provisions of .this hill are laboring under mis apprehension ns to Its effect on .them, not realizing that the pres ,en thill is much different in Its pro visions, particularly as to fruit and vegetables from the farm measure containing the equalization fee. Apple growers in the Pacific northwest seem to be most con cerned lest the agricultural assist ance to be undertaken by the gov ernment nffect them adversely, a fid Senator Jones of Washington may propose that both apples and pears be excluded. The Rogue River Valley Traffic association at a special meeting held yesterday nt the chamber of commerce reaffirmed Its stnnd fa voring the exclusion of fresh pears nnd apples from the provisions of the farm relief bill now before con gress. The meeting wns called at the request of 11, JI. Kipp, head of the marketing committee of the Port land chamber of commerce, and officials of tho Southern Pacific railway, asking the association to reconsider its opposition. ' The exclusion of fresh pears and apples Is provided for in an amend ment presented by Senator Mc Nary, Introduced at the request of northwest and California fruit .growers. Southern Oregon fruit growers contend that the Inclusion of pears 1 nnd apples In tho farm relief bill would place their fruit upon the' same quality basis, in the eyes of I eastern and foreign trade, as the middle western fruit, and even tually prove a detriment to north west growers. The association voted again to send telegrams to the Oregon dele gation in congress urulnit them to vote for the McNary nmendmnet. .ft - N. V..
