boards of equalization.
Road Patrol Costs More;
Comparative costs of the present
highway patrol system under the
state police and that previously un
der the secretary of state was the
subject of consideration by the Joint
roads and highways committees of the
two houses. The cost was declared
about $172,000 more under the pres
ent system. -
Officials of the police department
contended that the Increase was
largely due to the necessity for pur
chasing new equipment, increase In
the personnel and expense which
previously were charged to the sec
retary of state's office rather than
to the traffic bureau.
- Figures presented at the hearing
showed that In 1929 and 1930 the
cost of operating the traffic division
under the secretary of state was $428,
558. while approximately $641,000 was
expended in similar work by the state
police department during the period
August 1, 1931, to November SO, 1932.
The state police department has ask
ed $011,437 to carry on Its traffic
operations during the current blen
nlum. $938,000 Required.
The entire appropriation " asked by
the state police department for tho
present two-year period Is $938,000.
This Includes $2tf5,000 for the game
division, $26,000 for the fish division
and $37,200 for the fire marshal di
vision. Money for conducting the traffic
division of the police department
comes out of motor vehicle arid state
highway funds.
Senator Burke suggested that a bill
be enacted limiting the number of
traffic operatives.
Into the small, hlgh-ceillnged room
of the Judiciary committee crowded
men and women from Portland to
voice a protest against house bill
63, Intended to tighten up some of
the loose Joints of the recall law.
Sponsor for the bill, Frank J. Loner
gan, sat as chairman of the commit
tee and threw the meeting wide open
to anyone who wished to criticize the
measure. Opposition came from the
State Orange and the State Federa
tion of Labor. -

FAIL IN ATTEMPT
Nipponese Retain Hold On
Chiumenkow, Key Coastal
Route Japanese Planes
Bomb Northeastern Jehol
(By the Associated Press)
A strong Chinese force failed In
an attempt today to drive Japanese
troops from Chiumenkow In the
Great Wall of China, dominating the
coastal route from China proper Into
the Chinese province of Jehol. Jap
anese captured the pass more than
two weeks ago in preparation for
their announced Invasion of Jehol.
Japanese planes made their sixth
bombing raid in two weeks over
northeast Jehol yesterday, breaking
up a Chinese military concentration
west of Kallu. More than 30,000
Chinese troops were preparing for a
clash In that region.
Helho Occupied
Tokyo learned today that Japanese
troops have occupied Helho, last im
portant town on the Siberian border
to be brought under the Manchukuo
government. The drive to Helho, In
the extreme north, followed recent
offenses to the Soviet border on west
and east extremities of Manchuria.
The Russian government denied
Japanese reports that It had entered
a secret agreement with China to
strengthen that country's antl-Japa-ns
boycott.
The mayor of Canton Informed the
Japanese consul at Hongkong that
four men recently executed in Can
ton were "bandits" trafficking in
arms. Previous reports were that the
Chinese nationalist government and
the anti-Japanese boycott society ap
proved their executions as boycott
violators.
Progress by eXague
The League of Nations special com
mittee made some progress today In
drawing up a report on the Slno
Japanese controversy which will In
clude recommendations for league ao
tlon. .
The Japanese war office at Tokyo
minimized the Importance of the bat
tle at Chiumenkow and said there
were less than 2000 Japanese troops
In the Shanhalkwan area.

with good roles for Be be Daniels,
Warner Baxter, George Brent, Dick
Powell, Una Merkel, Ginger Rogers,
Guy Klbbee, Ned Sparks, George E.
Stone, Robert MoWade, Allen Jenkins,
Eddie Nugent, a flock of others and
most Importantly Ruby Keeler, who
flashes brilliantly as the little un
known, and quite credibly saves the
show.
Where "Forty-Second Street' draws
novelty and freshness Is In Its ex
pert characterizations up and down
the line of talent, Its quick tempo
despite much music and dancing. Its
tunes, Its htimor, Its vivid picture
of the unglamorous, sweaty labor,
from start to finish, that goes Into
a Broadway musical, and Its finale
the scenes from the show, revealing
how Ruby Keeler plnch-hits her way
to fame.
These scenes take full advantage

Mr. Cooper gave senators the palsy
with his Ideas about conducting In
vestigations. .They claim he wanted
50 blanket subpoena Issued to him.
They pointed out only 27 have been
Issued so far In the entire so-called
stock market investigation. Also they
claim he wanted to work from bis
own office in New York, with no
hindrance from the committee. That
led Mr. Cooper and Senator Norbeck
t othe parting of the ways.
The latest hot tip from inside the
committee Is that hey are looking
over he books of a certain large bank
affiliate in New York. No one will
accept tips or even announcements
from that committee any more un
less they are accompanied by sworn
affidavits.
A certain senator has designated a
private investigator to run down in
formation about a new kind of black
mailing racket in Washington.
It seems certain companies have
been threatened with official inves
tigation unless they paid an amount
of money. The evidence will be hard
to get. The companies do not care
to go Into the matter.. Those who
paid do not want the fact advertised
that they were such suckers. One
which refused to pay and thratened
exposure Is satisfied to let things
stand as they are.
There Is no Indication that anyone
In official position is involved. The
private Inquiry la being directed at
an attorney who has only a nominal
official connection It Is verv prob
able that the racket will be broten
up offstage, but there may be a con
gressional investigation If conclusive
evidence can be obtained.
Some textile Interests have Joined
the opposition to the farm bill. That
may result In depriving It of three

It begins to appear that Mr. Hoover
stole a full march on the Democrats
in recommending that bankruptcy
legislation.
Apparently he heard privately what
the Democrats planed to do and then
recommended It before they had pub
licly come out for It.
That Is better teamwork than has
prevailed on any other Issue.
The boys tn the house speakership
