Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
ARB you In the mood for little
cheer? If you are, here are some
figure that should look good to you:
For the week ending July 1, ateel
mill operations were UP 353 8 per
cent from the corresponding week of
1933. For the week ending March 18.
they were DOWN 40 per cent.
For the week ending June 17, the
lateat for which figures are available,
car loadings are up 13.4 per cent from
the corresponding week of 1933. For
the week ending March 18. they were
down 33.1 per cent.
For the week ending June 34, elec
trical power production wa up 10.9
per cent from the corresponding week
of 1933. For the week ending March
18, It was down 10 8 per cent.
COMMENTING 'on these changes.
George F. Roberts, a vice-presi
dent of the National City Bank of
New. York and one of the country's
outstanding economists, says:
' "This Is the moat Impressive show
ing of business recovery EVER MADE
In a comparable period In this coun
try."
That sounla pretty big. doesn't It?
THESE Increases In production are
bringing about an Increase In
purchasing power.
From April to May, there was a gain
of five per cent In factory employ
ment and of 11- per cent In dollar
payroll. That is to say, more people
were employed at better wages. These
figures are all the more Impressive
when we remember thst during this
period employment normally goes
down.
The American Federation of Labor
estimates that since the end of March
more than 1,600,000 workers have
been re-employed.
SO much for Industrial workers. Let
us look now at the farmer.
According to the latest flguree of
the Buresu of Labor Statistics, prices
of farm products are up 3d per cent
from the low point. Prices of all oth
er products combined, on the same
date, were up only three per cent.
That Is to say, prices of what the
farmer SELLS have risen ten times as
fast as prices of what the ' farmer
BUYS. That improves the farmer's
conditions quite a lot.
THE farmer, of course. Is entitled to
a lot more Improvement atlll.
According to the department of ag
riculture, the ratio of prices he re
ceivea to the prices he paya was only
83 per cent of the pre-war average in
May, which means that with all the
improvement that has taken place the
farmer is still only about two-thirds
as well off aa he was before the war.
But at least his condition la Im
proving, whereas for a number of
yeara past It haa been growing stead
ily worse.
And it Is probable that the farm
er's condition has Improved materi
ally since these flguree were Issued,
which was late In May.
AND now a word as to lumber. In
which we are all keenly lnterea-
ed:
The latest bulletin of the West
Coast Lumbermen's association con
tains this ststement: "Unfilled orders
are now 45 5 per cent of Inventories.
the largest ratio since August of
1539. The position of the Industry to
lt markets remains strong."
"Ratio of unfilled orders to in
ventorles since August of 1939." Thst
does sound good. It reflects a healthy
condition or at least an Increasingly
healthy condition.
XTOW let's drop back for a moment
11 to national figures:
Dally average awards of building
contract duing the first 33 days of
June, as reported by the Dodge Cor
poratlon. wTe 1 3 per cent less thsn
during the corresponding period of
June of 1933. which Indicates thst
building as a whole hasn't got under
tray yet.
But listen to this: During these 33
days of June of this year award of
RESIDENTIAL building contracts
were 33 4 cent GREATER than In
June of last year.

Battle Over Woman Ends
Fatally Skull Fractured,
Facial Bones Crushed
Mob Violence Threatened
Earl Hanscom, 39, "finished the
dance "I Albert Tlngleaf, 48, died.
And District Attorney George Cod
ding will file a charge of first degree
murder against the former today or
tomorrow, aa result-of an Eagle Point
dance affray of Saturday midnight.
It brought Mr. Tlngleaf a nine-Inch
break in the akull and numerous
facial fractures, which caused death
Sunday afternoon at the Sacred
Heart hospital.
The fractures were allegedly In
flicted by young Hanscom. who In
sisted that he continue through the

SPELL OF BANKS
BALLOT POUCHES
Edington Testifies Turned
States Evidence in Effort
to Right Wrong Witness
in Trial of Schermerhorn
"We were all bamboozled by Ban lea.
and thought stealing the ballots
would be & heroic stunt, and In no
way a crime." Virgil Edington, Gold
Hill youth, testified under defense
cross-examination this morning. In
the trial of Suspended -Sheriff Gor
don L. Schermerhorn, on trial In cir
cuit court for ballot theft. Edington
made the statement in response to a
defense query whether he had not
been a willing participant In the vote
stealing. Edington further testified
that he regarded hla present atti
tude aa "a patriotic duty, and to do
what he could to clear up the situa
tion." Edington also testified that Scher
merhorn had Issued Instructions to
the "Banks guards," but was not al-
lowed to tell the instructions, when
the court sustained the defense objec
tlons.
Careful Witness.
Edington, whose case was dismissed
so he could be a state witness and
who admitted aiding Arthur La Dleu,
convicted of ballot-theft, and Wesley
McKitrick, who pleaded guilty, in
hauling ballots to the home of Mayor
Walter Jones of Rogue River, later
destroying them at the home of. Mc-
Kltrlck's parents, was a hesitant, but
careful witness.
Edington testified that Henrietta
B. Martin, president of the self-styled
"Good Government. Congress," and C.
Jean Conners, "parliamentarian" of
the orgalsatlon, who plead guilty, were
around the Banks headquarters, after
the "Congressional session, and the
ballot theft was under way. Eding
ton recalled that Tom L. Brecheen,
another defendant, had been in the
"News" office about the same time
the Sexton brothers testified he was,
and that L. A. Banks, former local
agitator and convicted slayer, had
telephoned La Dteu, before the trip
to the home of the mayor of Rogue
River, in Phil. Lowds auto, was
started.
Banks was also linked in the testi
mony as one of the framers of an alibi
for La Dleu, McKitrick and Edington.
but testimony on th's point was
limited by defense objections.
TeHs First Plan. '
saington wsimea mat me ur
plan was to steal the ballot pouches
on the wsy from the courtroom to
the vault. Late in the afternoon of
February 30, with McKitrick he went
to the courthouse for that purpose,
and under orders of McKitrick was
stationed on the first floor near the
vault. The plan was abandoned. The
witness was not sure, but thought
he had seen Brecheen and McKitrick
talking shortly after the arrival there
with McKitrick and La Dleu. There
was a crowd around. Edington aald
this plan was dismissed.
Edington said "I was supposed to
take orders from McKitrick, who was
'captain of the guards,' at the News
and ask no quest loneY'

July 10. (AP) Neville
Chamberlain,
chancellor of the ex

world economic conference In the
house of commona today,' declared
Great Britain's basic policy la the
raising of wholesale commodity
prices.
He declared this was not possible
by monetary action alone, although
certain monetary factors must be
present as a necessary preliminary
to raising the price level.
Maintaining Great Brltaln s middle
of the rosd policy between the gold
and non-gold countries, Chamberlain
concluded by advising "to keep our
heada."
He added that Great Britain also
must maintain the closest and
friendliest contact with represent
lives of all countries.
The chancellor indirectly approved
President Roosevelt's rejection of i
world economic conference stablllza-
tton plan.
He asserted the declaration reject
ed by Mr. Roonevelt was "pretty weak
stuff."
It laid down, he added, general
principles but wss practically con
fined to a declaration by the govern
merits that they would do what they
could to check speculation In ex

The world economic conference
check has not dealt a mortal blow to

E
Editorial In Fehl's Paper Just
As Bitter As Any Printed
by Non-Sympathetic Or
gans Says Sklpworth
The motion for a change of venue
was denied this morning, by Circuit
Judge Oeorge F. Sklpworth. to Earl
H. Fehl, charged with ballot theft.
It waa also announced by the court
that the trial of Fehl would atart
upon the completion of the Scher
merhorn trial, now In progress.
The court In denying the change
of venue plea of Fehl stated, that
"while there have been editorials in
the Mall Tribune, upon the trial. It
developa that In the Pacific Record
Herald, edited by Fehl, there haa ap
peared an- article. Just aa bitter, or
more so."
The court commented that In the
selection of the Jurors in the tour
ballot theft trials, "it la significant,
that so few of the Jurors examined,
had formed oplnlona from newspaper
articles."
The court further etated, "that the
Jurora have been selected with a.maa
Ing rapidity, where I expected It
would take days and days . . . . "
"There la no doubt, but that De
fendant Fehl can procure a fair and
Impartial trial, and therefore the
granting of the change of venue la
not warranted, and la denied."
The court declared It waa ready to
"co-operate with the counsel for both
aides, and the sheriff," in the selec
tion of a Jury list.
The statement of the court, with
the Jury excused, Is as follows:
The Court: The Jury will please re
tire from the court room a few mln
utea while I make a decision.
In this ease of State v. Earl H. Fehl
there la a motion for change of venue
on the ground of prejudice created
by certain newspaper artlclea that :t
Is claimed have 'appeared from time
to time In various newspapers of the
county during the campaign and since
the campaign. With reference to
newspaper artlclea which were attack
ing Earl Fehl, the arjswer to the prop
osition that he was .prejudiced there
by la that he was elected by a ma
jority despite the attacka made upon
him by the newspapers. The only
question that made me pause In psas-
ing on this motion laat Saturday .
waa an editorial which appeared In
the Mall Tribune concerning this
trial, I mean the Fehl caee and the
other cases, not only the Fehl esse
but the other cssea. bu It also ap
pears, and It Is of general knowledge
that there waa published In the Pa
cific Record Herald, a paper' pub
lished by the defendant Fehl, an ar
ticle concerning these trlale, which
waa Just aa bitter, or more so, thsn
the editorial In the Mall Tribune.
Now these newspaper artlclea or
contentions have been going on In ,
thla county for more than a year, rt
la common knowledge throughout the '
atate, and the court may take Judi
cial knowledge of the fact that there
haa been attacks by various papera
on various people In the county, but
the significant thing to me la that
upon examining the Jurom In four
