In the event such a session is

cedure to handle the tax program
as outlined by him in his address

organization. The committee will

Those named on the committee
are James Burdett, McMinnvllle;
Charles V. Galloway, Salem; Ed
Aldrich, Pendleton; C. C. Hulet,
Albany; David Graham, Ontario;

local tax raising bodies In the
state.
ApiM'al to Patriotism

PHILADELPHIA, July 8 (P)
Believed drowned after five min
utes at the bottom of Laurel Luke,
N. J., William Dugan was alive
and well today. For nine hours
physicians and nurses at a hospi
tal made efforts to revive him al
though his heart and pulse had
stopped and his body was blue and
cold.
He was wrapped In blankets,
lined with hot water bottles, was
given frequent hypodermics and
4nha.intp.rH, .wejr ,sed. Finally he.
sighed and opened his eyes.
"It was so comfortable Just rest
ing in space," he said. "Yet I had
a feeling I had to rouse myself,
to make an effort to go some
where. Then, from a great dis
tance I heard my mother calling
and I had to answer her. After a
great effort I opened my eyes."
Peaceful Oblivion
He had a feeling of "oblivion
peaceful oblivion and a long sleep
in which there were no dreams"
before he heard bis mother culling
' and rallied.
Describing Ills sensations on
falling from a boat and being
stunned, Dugan said:
"I felt myself going down and
down and down. Brilliant lights
danced before tnv eyes, flashing
i In varied colors. Then I hit the
muddy bottom and all went black.
"I don't know another thing
that happened until I had the sen
sation, hours later, of floating In
air and that someone wanted me
to do something, someone I
couldn't disappoint. Then I came
out of it."

WASHINGTON, July 8. (P)
Criticism of the federal govern
ment for placing Its youthful law
breakers on the same basis )tip
burdened criminals and an ar
raignment of conditions under
which child offenders ure confined
was made today by the now dis
banded Wickersham commission.
A report to the president on
child offenders in the federal sys
tem of justice" described bits of
hut'Hh disciplinary treatment ac
corded minors and asserted many
of the Jails In which they are kept
"present a situation of filth and
misery impossible to convey.'
The commission recommended
the treatment of juvenile delin
quency be delegated almost entire
ly to the states.
Flogging Common
In some instances, the report
said, flogging is not infrequent
while In others, calisthenlc drills
to the point of exhaustin, "torture"
positions, shackling, drenching
with streams of cold water and
confinement on bread and water
have been In vogue.
Discussing the Washington state
reformatory, at Monroe, at which
some convicted federal juveniles
are confined under contract, the
report said discipline often took
the form of diet restriction. Cor
rection cells were said to be kept
in total darkness and young boys
some times forced to sleep on
wooden planks, ordinarily without
bedding und sometimes for ten
days at a time.
Often Confine! '
At the federal Industrial refor
matory in Chllllcothe, Ohio, the
report said,1 confinement to the
guard house for even intnor "of
fenses was frequent as a discipli
nary measure.
"A few minor offenses noted in
the records as punished by from
three to six' days in the guard
house' the report added, "were
possession of a two-cent stamp!
tulking In mess line; concealing an
apple In hunk; kicking a refuse
can; stealing five eggs from the
kitchen."
The Chllllcothe. Institution was
described as "In poor repair,
crowded, unsanitary, and not fireproof."
The report said 939 boys under
1 8 years of age were held in
prison during the six months end
ing December 81, 1930, for violat
ing tho federal prohibition aei.
The Institutions In which these
youthful prisoners were held were

The plane responded the second
