WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.--Conservatives
on the Independent non-partisan
commissions around town have
developed strong pro-Roosevelt lean
ings on the inside lately.
Intimates of these gentleman re
i port that the president's dismissal
of William E. Humphrey, a conserva
tive Republican, from the federal
trade commission has had a wide
spread psychological effect.
They believe Mr. Roosevelt will
haw no trouble whatever hereafter
T with cottar vat Ives on the Interstate
commerce and tarflf commissions, as
veil as federal trade.
After all $8500 Jobs do not grow
on trees these days. Even conserva
f tlves and Republicans have wives and
children who must be thought of.
These men have heretofore con
sidered themselves beyond the reach
of the presldnt or anyone else. Their
Jobs are semi-Judlclal. They have
resisted presidents on many occasions.
Their terms have- a specific time to
run under the law.
What the Humphrey case showed
them was that the law does not count
for the present. Courts will ulti
mately determine their standing In
reference to the president, but that
will be months hence.
Meanwhile Humphrey Is In the
position of the man who was put In
Jail for doing nothing. Humphrey
said the president coul not put him
out without cause, but he Is out, and
his salary has stopped.
Palpitations of his fellow conserva
tive commissioners In the government
will run high until his case-Is dc-
elded, and perhaps after.
T Hull.
State Secretary Hull was NOT en
tirely left out of the Russian recogni
tion program, although his part In
It was Inconsequential.
The real Inside negotiations were
handled by William C. Bullitt, spec
ial assistant to Hull. He la the man
who made a secret trip to Europe
last spring. You may remember that
the senate became quite excited about
It. Republican Senator Robinson
smelled a war debt deal and shouted
charges all over the chamber.
Bullitt's real mission abroad was to
sound out European governments as
to how they were getting along with
the reds. His report was favorable.
Hull's personal contact with the
subject was largely confined to con
ferences In London with M. Lltvlnoff
snd Sir John Simon during the late
lamented economic conference.
His report Is supposed to have been
less favorable than Bullitt's. That
was because Sir John filled Hull full
ef the troubles England was then hav
ing about British engineers being
tried for sabotage.
Hull's Incidental part In the Rus
sian program Is being coupled with
the fact that war debts were taken
iway from him several weeks ago and
given to the treasury. Gossips are
concluding this means Hull Is on
the shelf. That Is hardly a fair
statement.
A better way of saying It la that
Mr. Roosevelt Is his own secretary
of state. If his confidence In Hull
hsa been weakened recently, none of
his associates know It.
The treasury department was the
logical place to handle the debt prob
lem. There the debts would be con
sidered on a business basis and not
as an International diplomatic prob
lem. Likewise the Russian policy is one
ef Mr. Roosevelt' own pets. He was
thinking about It and working on It
long before he thought of Hull as
secretary of state.
Japan.
Russian recognition may stop the
threatened war between Japan and
Russia If nothing else does.
I Mr. Roosevelt did not have that
Idea In mind. He was more eager to
quiet the farmers here. But his pro
gram means Russia will get credit In
the United States to purchase muni
tions and armaments if she needs
them. Japan's credit right now would
hardly enable her to buy a cap plsto
without laying cash on the line.
Moderation of Japanese Far Eastern
policy may result.
Retreat?
The administration strictly csutlon
M newsmen not to Interpret the
president's Russian program as Rus
sian recognition.
One reason for that may hare been
to leave a way of retreat open if
public reaction to the move should
be bad. That Is good generalship.
Within the psst month, the American
Legion. A. F. of L. and many leading
Catholics have opposed recognition.
However. It Is Inconceivable that
the coming negotiations will fall. The
matters st Issue are too trivial to be
serious obstacles If both sides really
want action.
Most Insiders are betting on recog
nition within two weeks after Lltvln
off arrives. That means a month
from now.
Notes.
The funny side of Mr. Roosevelt's
Russian move la that he baaed It on
the lda that we could not commu-

officials and Corporal William F.
Horn of the New Jersey state police,
Finn said:
"Gorch provided us with names and
addresses In New York. These wni
have to be checked up. What they
will prove to be I can't say now."
Asked If the Information gained
from Gorch was of "real Importance."
Finn said, "I wouldn't want to put
It as strong as that but It Is a clue.
I wouldn't want to go any stronger
because to do so would frustrate any
plans for the future."
Finn said that samples of Gorch's
handwriting had been taken to com
pare them with the handwriting of
the Lindbergh ransom notes.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24. (AP) Dr.
John F. Condon, known as "Jafsle"

amined a newspaper photograph of
John Gorch, held In Boston, and aald
Gorch was not the "John" to whom
he passed 450.000 ransom money In
St. Raymond's cemetery, the Bronx,
April 2. 1932.
Dr. Conaon, seen at his home In
the Bronx, said he had not been
asked to go tp Boston to see Gorch,
but added he would go If requested.
He expressed a belief that the
"John" to whom he gave the ransom
money had been slain for his share
of the (50,000.
"John," Dr. Condon said, was of
slimmer and more muscular build
than Qorch appeared to be from his
photograph.

SELF-CONTROL BY
OR FEDERAL RULE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. (API
Secretary Wallace today told delegates
to the lumber conservation confer
ence here that unless the Industry
controls itself iliefe may be "strict
regulations by government."
Wallace said stabilized employment
and a stable Industry were "Impossi
ble without conservation and sustain
ed production of the basic resources."
Government control has been
adopted in many other countries, he
said, adding public opinion sooner or
later will force such action in this
country unless the problem Is solved
In some other way. The forest Indus
tries are to be given every opportunl
! ty, he explained, to work out the so
t lutlon themselves, and only if they
i fail, will extensive public regulation
be undertaken. "
The operators are here to consider
a program of conservation under their
NRA code.
Wallace said the objective of the
jNRA can be accomplished only if
. handled In such a manner as to
I "avoid unnecessary destruction of
j usable timber and young growth; in
isure prompt and adequate regenera-
i tlon following cutting; and produce a
! reasonably steady output of timber

FALLS BATTLING
L
Daladier Denounces Socialist
Leader Blum in Speech
Marking Open Break
Feud Long Threatened
PARIS, Oct. 24. (AP) The cabi
net of Premier Edouard Daladier fell
early today battling for a balanced
budget and Insisting to the last that
sound finances alone could avert Im
minent inflation and the fall of the
franc.
Within an hour after Its defeat 329
to 341 on a vote of confidence, the
entire cabinet hurried to Elysee pal
ace and presented their resignations
to President Lenrun.
The president Immediately outlined
a series of consultations with senate
and chamber of deputies presidents,
committee heads and party leaders
before offering the premiership.
Albert Sarraut, a senator, was men
tioned as the most likely to succeed
M. Daladier. Owing to the bitterness
which developed in the chamber, It
was not considered likely a deputy
would be considered.
As M. Daladier fell, he burned his
bridges behind him In an open break
with the socialists reproaching their
millionaire leader, Leon Blum, for
negotiating a compromise and then
refusing to support It,
Usually calm and deliberate, the
premier raised his arms In violent
gestures as he denounced Blum, who
appeared to take tragically the sup
posed end of his power seen in the
socialist split on the vote.
His spare form contrasting sharply
with that of the thick-set and burly
premier and his voice choking, Blum
asserted the government's plan would
have TM-ed the way for a further de
ficit. "You are going to again reduce the
purchasing power of the consumers,"
Blum cried. "No one U more opposed
to Inflation than we, but wa also
want a stable relation between wages
and prices."
In any case, the Daladier-Blum
feud long simmering now has come
to a head and likely will play a big
part In the selection of a new cabinet.

SALEM, Oct. 34. (AP) The emer-,

to operat on a temporary fee pay
ment plan pending legislative action
will not be rescinded, the state utili
ties department notified the allied
truck owners today.
Secreary Ralph J. Staeull presented
a demand from the allied truckers
here yesterday that the bus and truck
Isw be enforced as written or a mora

Utllltlea Commissioner C. M. Tho
mas, now at Klamath falls, sent word
to Herbert Hauser, superintendent of
transportation In the utilities depart
ment, that "the departmen will no
recede from the position taken."
"To cancel the emergency order
means that practically 18,000 truck
oporators will be deprived of means of
earning their livelihood and with
ramuies constitute approximately
00,000 persons who will be forced to
seek assistance from already overbur-

stated.
"In addition, If law la strictly en
