GORDON VOORHIES. Medford, Ore. March 37, 1033. The letters above referred to fol low: Medford, Ore., March ST, 1833. jlr. Edgar B. Benaenlch, Vice-President, t TJnlted states National Bank, Portland. Oregon. Dear Mr. Bensenlcht I have sent thla morning a letter to Harry Corbett stating my view of this situation at present and urging Mm to see that the statement which Williams submitted to you and Harry last Saturday be published Imme diately In the newspapers. I am pre paring such a statement to be pub llahed In the local newspapers my self. Since writing the letter to Mr. Cor bett I have come to the conclusion that in order to clear the skirts of our committee we must not only pub lish such a statement, but we must go on record as a committee, through you as chairman, atatlng to the board In Washington that we unhesitatingly recommend to them that they lnv mediately paas back to Portland the authority to proceed with these loans on the same basis as the Ban rran- clsco regional Is now proceeding. I want to especially call to your attention the attached copy of letter from Mr. Nagle in which he states they have made loans of 40c per box which Is Intended to cover only the growing charge, and does not Include harvesting and does not Include pack ng. If we were granted the same privilege and I think our committee should demand It, not one single one Krf these loans would have to go to Washington. Our committee Is being placed In an Impossible position and the big criticism that will ensue will Undoubtedly center upon you ehalrman and vice-president of the Pnlted States National. yours very truly, ' GORDON VOOBHIES ,. P. B. I am preparing a letter to be published In our local paper to- morrow, unless I hear from you by wire. , O. V. CALIFORNIA FRUIT EX CHANGS Sacramento, Calif. March 33. 1933. Mr. Wm. H. Horaley, Secretary, Washington Boxed Apple Bureau Seattle, Washington. Dear Mr. Horaley f Your letter sddreasad to Mr. Bren Ban, president of the California Fruit exchange, has been referred to me. The Regional Agricultural Credit corporation, a subsidiary of the Re construction Finance corporation, au thorized to make production loana, takes Into consideration first, In oon seotlon with loans on . doclduous crops, the financial statement of the applicant: his record of (production and sales for a period of three years past: varieties; and whether or not bo la a marginal producer. If he has any reasonable equity In his proper ties, taking Into consideration a rea sonable value of the Improved land, as against his liabilities, and if, tsk tng marketing conditions Into con sideration and varletea produced, there la also a reasonable ninrgln. baaed on last year's sales, between hU production and harvesting, the loan la generally made on a budget basis for production purposes, allowing 40 cents for a box of pears.

In addition to the above security, which represents a crop mortgage, a chattel mortgage Is required on sll material Inventoried on the property, together with a subordination of all creditors" Hens. These subordinations are generally for the crop season, but In some Inatancea a subordination for the enttre period of the loan Is re quired. . Practically no loana have been made en apples.

The San Franclaco office or the RACO has had no applications for loans on Belleiteure, and In the few applies ttons that It has had from Oraven ateln growers, an estimate of 30 to SS centa a box for production was allowed. . .

Do mestic architecture In America has gone through several phases of de velopment. In the main we have ar rived at more or leas conservative lines. The designs of our small homes In general are derived from the best of foreign colonial types, as built In various parts of our country. The past ten years, however, have brought about a definite change in floor-plan arrangement; whereas the types of exterior treatment have re mained fairly steady, the Interior of the house has changed completely. Why? The reason for this definite change Is because of the automobile. Hav ing accepted this type of family snd personal transportation to the degree we have, it naturally became necessary to house one or more auto- 1 be required to pledge other collateral In addition to his growing crop, and such loans after first being approved by the local executive committee, must then be forwarded to Washing ton for final approval by the recon struction finance corporation board,. 'Wherever the total loan exceeds 16,000, regardless of the per box cost, a grower's application must first be approved by the local committee and then forwarded to Washington for final approval by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation board. The local committee can only ap prove loans not exceeding BSo per box and not exceeding 916,000. In such case where the applicant can submit an Itemised budget showing that his total coat of growing, harvesting and packing will not exceed flflc per box as per the following schedule: Growing .. loo . Harvesting 13c Packing . 37o the growing crop alone will be con sidered sufficient collateral. Loans will be made only to pro ducers having a good operating rec ord., and each and every loan will be considered on Its individual merits. It will not be the policy of the Re gional Agricultural Credit corporation to make loana to marginal operators. no loans win be made to a grower whose crop, based on past records, Is B0 per cent O grade fruit, Nr. funds will be advanced for packing O grade fruit, and advances for har vesting and packing are to be made on an actual, rather than an esti mated per box basts. The opinion has been expressed that many growers have withheld filing their applications with the Portland office, in the hopea that a more liberal policy would be an nounced. At present there la no In dication that there will be any modi fication In the regulations, and growers In need of funds should Im mediately arrange to file their appli cations with the proper office. Grow er In Oregon should make applica tion through the Portland office. Washington growers through the Spo kane office, and Idaho growers through the Boise office."

The officiate claim that some of the "higher-ups", under Indictment, were stationed at strategic points, to "Inspire confidence and lend dig nity." One such was seen standing across the street from the rear of the courthouse, by several witnesses, who were awakened by the departing autos and went to the window In their night dress, "to see what was going on." Two Recruited Two of the Indicted men were in veigled Into the bsllot thefts after It velgled Into the ballot theft after It cers. The two went to their auto parked at the rear of the courthouse, following the "congress" session. A third man, also Indicted when ap prised of what was occurring, said: "I don't like Jennings; we'll take a couple of sacks." The ballots were thrown Into the auto. The driver considered driving the auto to the police station, but was "afraid that the police would -not believe the story." The ballots were taken to a house In the Jacksonville district. A 70-ycar-old woman, and an 18-year-old girl, In the house. have made affidavits and statements that the ballots were burned In the cook stove.

His last song or what was intended to be his final song, was an aria from a celebrated opera. Tears came to the eyes of two hopeless cripples one of them with but one leg. The singer questioned them and found that the two had been "bud dies" In school, preparing for an ope ratic career.
