MEDFORD MATL TRTBTJKE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1933
NEXT MEETING OF
Fred Rlakeley Says Move
Will Be Launched At
"Baker Session for Con
. vention Here Next Year.
In Baker. 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."

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.
Use of public playgrounds In San
Francisco during the last fiscal year

Bearing Plates Hit Storms
NEW YORK. Aug. 15 (AP) A
thrilling and nearly tragic story of
adventure and adversity was pieced
together ,today from cabled bits of
Havana news the story of the heart
brcsklng bsttle of Associated Press
staff photographers -to fill an "as
signment" against odds of revolution,
bloodshed and rioting.
As the last of a relay of planea
dropped to Newark airport at noon
with a reallstle pictorial account of
the Cuban revolt It marked the suc
cessful conclusion of another phase
of another "newspaper story" that
cost many thousands of dollars and
almost cost the Uvea of two Associat
ed Press cameramen.
Mob Breaks Camera
Seymour Ress. Associated Press
photographer, lost his camera and
precious plates Saturday afternoon
at the hands of an hysterical mob
which descended upon the Pan
American Airways docTc to prevent
the escape cf Colonel Orestes Fer
rers, former secretary of state.
As the pilot took off In a hall of
bullets, with the secretary and his
wife safely guarded, the infuriated
mob bore down on Ress and destroy
ed his camera and plates which were
to bsve gone to Miami aboard the
plane. -
At the point of pistols and rifles,
they forced him Into a machine and
after handling him roughly, threw
him out In the outskirts of Havana.
Photographs Massacre
Another Associated Press csmera
man, Jose Garcia, who last week was
dragged to safety ss he was photo
graphing the massscre of celebrating
Cubans by soldiers before the presi
dential palace, dug out from vault
duplicate "shots" of the rioting of
the week-end.
These pictures, taken almost at the
same time and places as those of
Ress, were prepared for delivery. Other
pictures, obtained from Havana news
psper members of the Associated
Presb, were Included.
Despite the fact news reel camera
men and other photographera were
keeping films locked in vaults for
safe keeping during the rioting, the
Havana "A. P." staff at once made
preparations to fly their second batch
of pictures to Miami for distribution
over the United States.
Mac ha do Takes Lost Plane
Not until the state department at
Washington had Intervened, was gov
ernment "sanction" obtained to per
mit a plane to leave the island. And
then there were no planea. Presi
dent Macbado had taken the last oce
In his escape.
Working frantically, a 'ship was
chartered from Miami by the Asso
ciated Press. Delayed by weather and
head winds. It was not until late
Sunday that the plane returned to
Miami, where the pictures were trans
ferred to two waiting planes.
Plane Reaches Atlanta
Fighting bad weather northward,
one plane reached Atlanta, where a
crew of Associated Press men was
waiting to develop and distribute the
pictures to member papers. The other
was forced to stay at Camden, S- C
by bsd flying conditions after Pilot
W. J. Smith had been turned back
once.
Smith took off again at daybreak
today, fighting rain, poor visibility
snd low celling to reach Newark about
noon.
News reel men reported that more
than 1.000 feet of film, depicting the
revolutionary events of the week-end
had been destroyed by the mob that
wrecked photographic plates at the
Pan-American docks Saturday.
