Harney County Stockman
Succeeds Redmond Man
On Highway Commission
No Call For Special
Is Final Decision-
Diversion Into Rogue By
Nine-Mile Tunnel Would
Interfere With Fish Says
State Hydro Commission.
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 1. (AP)
Governor Julius L. Meier today an
nounced t,ie appointment or Wil
liam Hanley, Harney county stock
man, to succeed M. A. Lynch, of
.'Redmond, as a member of the state
highway commission.
In a second statement issued today
me governor said he had decided
definitely not to call a special ses
sion of the state legislature to con
sider tax legislation.
In hiB stutement announcing the
appointment of Han ley, the gover
nor said;
"Mr. Hanley has for years been
an outstanding figure in the civic
field and business world of the state
of Oregon. He has been, a good
roads enthusiast for years and has
made a close study of the road prob
lem confronting Vie state.
Movte For Harmony "
"Because of his long Interest and
familiarity with these road problems
and his business experience, I am
convinced that the appointment will
not only make for harmony on the
commission but also be productive
of greater efficiency In the carrying
out of the economy program of the
administration.
"In. this connection I want to
make It clear that when I refer to
economy that I have in mind a re
duction in the administrative costs
of the commission and not a re
trenchment in our highway con
struction program which should be
extended and broadened as far as
possible in order to alleviate the un
employment situation."
Lynch was named a member of
the commission by Governor Norblad
a little more than a year ago. Nor
blad removed Robert W. 8awyer,
Bent), from the commission to make
room for Lynch. Governor Meier
re-appointed Lynch' last March.
Mumnutrr Action
Unconfirmed reports circulated
here said Lynch had submitted a
conditional resignation at the request
of the governor but that the form
of Vie purported resignation was not
acceptable to the governor and that
he relieved Lyncn 01 lurtner amies
In his order without acting on the
asserted resignation. N
The governor's decision not to con
vene the state legislature In special
session was disclosed in letters sent
to the legislators and to members
of the Oregon taxpayers equalization
and conservation league.
"After making a careful canvass
of the existing situation." the gov- I
ernor wrote. "I have determined that !
it is inadvisable to convene the state
legislature in special session."
In indicated, however, t.hat he
wished the tux league to continue
Its elforts to effect tax reduction.

SALEM. Aug. 1 (AP) The hydro
electric commission today announced
rejection of the application of Char
les H. Lee of Berkeley and Romalne
W. Meyers of Oakland, California, for
a proposed hydro-electric project in
volving the storage and appropria
tion oi waters or the Illinois river In
Josephine county.
The order of rejection stated the
reason is that the plans show a pro
posal to divert waters of the Illinois
river by means of a nine-mile tunnel
and other works Into the channel of
me Kogue river for use at a series of
plants. ,
Such plants would involve the use
of a high dam and would interfere
with the free passage of migratory
fish up and down the river.
The application for permit of sev
eral projects to be constructed by
the same applicants on the Rogue
river In Josephine and Curry coun
ties had been rejected by the com
mission at a previous meeting. The
order further stated that the 1027
legislature passed a law making It
unlawful for any person, firm or cor
poration td build In the channel of
the Rogue any dam or hydraulic
structure which would interfere with
the free passage of fish.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1. (AP) Tile
fastness of the timber-studded Can
adian northland tonight veiled the
whereabouts of Colonel and Mrs.
Lindbergh, but several clrmumstaiices
attending their holiday flight to
ward the orient kept friends here
from entertaining any great anxiety.
At 8:30 p. m. (E, S. T.) no word
had been received from their plane,
bound from Ottawa to Moose factory.
4 til miles distant, since 1:15 p. m.,
when Mrs. Lindbergh messaged the
station of the department of nation
al defense at Ottuwa that they still
were "traveling1 north.
Although at that time they should
have been close to their destination,
located on the southern tip of James
Boy. the message gave no position.
Flying conditions were reported ideal.
The couple's desire to proceed to
ward the orient at a leisurely pace,
without maintaining a llxed schedule,
the presence aboard the plane of a
radio which several times before l.as
given trouble and the numerous
lakes arioruing miming piuces were
reasons advanced by friends for not
becoming alarmed.
