G. O. P. CONTROL FIGHT SEEN
' I i ..ii .1.1 ... ,. i t
STAND TRIAL ON
With reported discord between the Hoover administration and
tome republicans of congress apparently assuming larger proportions,
a fight for control of the party machinery seems In prospect. Frank
Hitchcock (upper left) of Arizona and Senator Moses (upper right) of.
New Hampshire have been linked with the Hoover forces as possible
new heads of the party organization. The name of Senator Watson
(lower left) of Indiana was heard among the old guard as a choice for
national chairman. The "young guard" republicans of the senate are
reputedly looking to Col. Frank Knox (lower right), Chicago publish
er, as a leader. (Associated Press Photos)
Leslie (Buck) Wilson, Indicted by
the grand Jury for the alleged receiv
ing of goods stolen in the robbery of
the J. C. Penney Co. store at Ash
land last July, entered a plea of not
guilty when arraigned in circuit court
yesterday afternoon. Wilson will be
tried at the petit Jury term of court,
scheduled to start Monday, January
16.
Emalee (Bobby) Mansfield, 33, Lu
ther (Toots) Crosby and Virgil (Dodo)
Burnett, hive all entered pleas oi
guilty to the burglary and according
to the district attorney's office, will
be used as witnesses against Wilson.
Crosby and Wilson, the authorities
say, are on parole from the state
prison at Salem. They were sentenced
for the robbery of Miller's "Toggery"
in Ashland two years ago.
Wilson claims he is the victim of
circumstances, and that he had noth
ing to do with the Penney robbery.
The authorities allege that at the
time of his arrest he was wearing
clothing stolen from the store.
Crosby has asked authorities that
he be extended further leniency, so
he can move to Idaho, and start life
anew on a ranch.
January term of the petit Jury will
also see the calling of a number of
other criminal cases that have been
pending since late last summer.
William F, Glayzer, former resident
of the Trail district and transient
laborer, charged with assault with
a deadly weapon upon bis estranged
wife, Golda, In their home last Au
gust, following an effort at a recon
ciliation, will be heard. The court
will be asked to appoint an attorney
for Glayzer. Glayzer cut his wife with
a butcher knife.
Robert Rose, Long Mountain dis
trict rancher, and Jack Rice, Indicted
by the grand jury on a charge of set
ting forest i;rs last summer, and
Relnhard A. Rolf of Central Point,
indicted for Involuntary manslaugh
ter, for the accidental killing of his
hunting companion last October will
also be tried at the coming term.

In. view of the misleading infor
mation the treasury experts have
given the ways and means commit
tee In the past, I have no confl
dence in their suggestions ae to how
much revenue will be needed to bal
ance the budget," Ralney said.
Secretary Mills gave misleading
estimates to the committee from
time to time and there isn't much
use In having him before the com
mittee Wihen our study gets under
way."
Meanwhile, Chairman Collier, of
the ways and means committee, who
previously announced that Mills was
to be Invited as the first witness, to
day said:
"Secretary Mills has estimated tha
If everything goes lovfjy and Presi
dent Hoover's recommendations for
economies are adopted and the for- j
elgn debtors pay the $339,000,000 that j
the deficit would be 8307,000,000. We ,
have those estimates of the treas-!
ury,"
"Pork" Vote Cited
Rainey said Representative Snell of
New York, the Republican floor lead
er, "has Indicated the Republican's
attitude on economies through his
fight for the 8460,000 heating plant
for Howard university, which was not
approved by the budget nor by the
appropriations committee. However,
the Republicans almost by solid vote
forced that item into the Interior
department's supply bill."
In proposing blanket authority for
the president-elect to reorganize the
government, the Illinois Democrat
said "the present government is be
ing controlled by organized minority
including 600,000 to 600,000 employes
In Washington who have been lead
ing the raids on the treasury for
.their own benefits.
Economies Blocked
"Every time congress tries to ef
fect economies these people send tel
egrams to their folks at home and
within a few days members of con
gress begin to hear from home and
the movement Is blocked before It
actually gets- started."
Asked about the refusal of the
Democratic house to give President
Hoover blanket authority to reor
ganize the government last spring,
Ralney said:
"Enormous expenditures have been
made under President Hoover, the
largest of any administration since
the world war period. The reason
,he did not get the authority was be
cause the country lost confidence in
Mr. Hoover."
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29. (AP)
Where good slang ends and the ob
jectionable begins brought forth a
discussion at the convention of the
National Association of Teachers oi
Speech today and laid bare the pet
peeves of a number of delegates.
The specialists in how to speak
properly disclosed that among words
which they "Just can't stand." were
"vlttlea," "thanks," "nerts," "Oh,
Gee," "Snack," and "Hot dlgglty
damn."
Dean Ray K. Immel, of the school
of speech at the University of South
ern California, says "vlttlc." makes
"me see red." "I'll tell you another
one I don't like, too," he added. "That
Is 'snack.'
Dr. W. Arthur Cable of the Uni
versity of Arizona, heaped criticism
on "flappers of both sexes," who say,
"Oh, gee." Also, it seems to me,
that the word 'thanks' Is a laay and
offensive contraction of the neat
phrase, 'thank you.' "
"Hot dlggity damn," and "Oh, boy,
oh, boy, oh, boy" exasperates Dr. A.
M. Drummond of Cornell university.
Alberta Beeson of the University of
Southern California said she "simply
can't stand the word 'nerts.' At least
a person could say 'nuts'," she ex
claimed with disgust.
