Oregon, where the gleam of gold Is ever a lure, the first regu lar meeting of the Oregon Mining Congreiu will be held thl week-end. end at the meeting will be launched a move to bring the second seaslon of the congress In 1934 to the home of Oregon'a first mother lode. Jack- son county. Such waa the announcement made yesterday by the Chamber of Com merce and Pred J. Blakeley, veteran mining man and operator of the Ster ling property, who declared, "There'a no better place In Oregon for mining men to meet. ' Telegrams advocating Medford aa meeting place of the next congress will be sent to Baker with opening of the sessions. Gold Retains Lure. . The gleam of gold, which first brought aettlera Into thla section, has really lost little of Ite ahlne. accord' Ing to Mr, Blakeley, who added yes terday that the people of this region would be surprised If they should learn of the amount of gold shipped out of Jackson and Josephine coun tlea during the paat year. "It's atlll an important Industry," he declared, referring to mining, "and there'a no way of checking up on the flow of gold from these cities. Even the United States mint falls to de termine the amount coming from each section, for miners sell their gold as they please. Much of it flows Into other cities before making the trip to the mint. Last winter a lot went out of the southern Oregon coun ry: that we know." Commencing the move now under way to lift the embargo on gold to enable shipment of this country's yellow metal Into other lands, Mr. Blakeley reviewed briefly what auch a ruling would mean to southern Ore gon, Embargo Cheapens Metal. "The miner working these hills to day Is selling gold to the government on an average of about $17 an ounce," be stated. "With the price of wages rising, something must be done to . raise the prloe of gold, or mining ac tivities will be curtailed. If the em bargo were lifted to allow the flow of gold Into other countries, the price would be Increased seven or eight dolars an ounce, or abo!t 60 per cent. as sevoral countries are willing to pay that much for united States gold. ' "The government Is now consider ing such a ruling. What action will be taken nobody knows." Mr. Blake ley stated, "but Indications point to a favorable decision." Ttw people In southern Oregon. Mr. Blakeley believes, realtr how many workers are employed at mining. Over a.OOO men have been working the Rogue and Its tributaries since the depression, he reported yesterday. In the Sterling mine alono, during the rainy months, between 150 and 300 men and women were making their living mining. They would otherwise have been aeeklng aid from the county. Means Many Visitor. The Oregon Mining Congress would bring to Medford In annual session between 1000 and 1S00 men to look over developments here. Mr. Blake-, ley pointed out. This oountry would offer a great attraction to all because of the first discovery of gold on Jack son creek. Recalling some of the history of hose esrly days, Mr. Blakeley atated that prior to 1848 but 13 million dol lars worth of gold had been mined In North America. That year gold was discovered In California, and two years later the total had been boost, ed to two hundred seventy-five mil lion dollara. Practically all that gold was mined by hand. Then came the machine to add ease to mining of the more elusive gold, and then the dis covery of gold at Jacksonville. The hordes poured on Into Oregon. 13.000 or 13.000 people, to atart the ro mantle history of the once "busiest town In Oregon."

TELEPHONE 18 RACKET REMEDIES ARE ADVOCATED IN SEN ATEHEARING Abolition of State Lines Is Needed in War on Crime Gangdom and Politics H?nd in Hand Is Assertion By MORRIS WATSON NEW YORK. Aug. 15 (AP) Lewis B. Lewes, warden of Sing Sing prison, todsy told the senate sub-committee on racketeering that "there can be no catching up with crime until state lines are virtually abolished." This 1 war," Lawes said. "It we don't have some sort of martial law to stop crime we'll have lynch law and then we will have to have martial law. Linked With rotttlrlans "We know who the racketeers are. So do the police. They are affiliated with the politicians and some of the politicians are racketeers." Lawes demanded federal regulation of an tl -crime activities, not federal cooperation; and shouted that with such regulation "we could stamp this out In sixty days." Anthony Sunderland, commissioner of Connecticut state police and one of many speakers on racketeering be fore the sub -commit tee, declared that police generally would dot welcome a federal super crime bureau. "Scotland Vard" Urged Such a bureau, called at times "a sort of Bcotland Yard" waa urged to the committee several times during the group's first open bearing. The committee, heeded by Senator Royal 8. Copeland, was crested to determine what the federal government can do about racketeering. Sunderland, In response to quest Ions from Copeland, said he favored strict control of firearms, but that he would not restrict the law abid ing citizen In file home. Asked specl flcslly If he personally would object to a "Scotland Yard" such as Cope land suggested (officers with both federal and state authority) he said he would not. Bureau Wouldn't Work Jerome Brady, commissioner of public safety In Bayonne, N. J., told the committee that a federal bureau would not be efficient. "Now," he said to Copeland, "If you were a commissioner of police would you like to have federal officers come In; so thst the newspapers called you Incompetent?" "If I were a police commissioner I wouldn't," said Copeland, "but if I were a citizen 1 would want criminals apprehended." Later Brady said he wouldn't mind federal official coming In "If they kept their mouths shut." Thomas C. T. C. Craln, Manhattan district attorney, presented a color ful picture of labor racketeering In New York, telling In detail how busi ness men are preyed upon by criminals.
