Committee's Pamphlet WASHINGTON, Dec. . AV-The administration U attempting to cre ate a "dictatorship" In time of "pro found peace," the republican national committee In lte second pamphlet In a month today said the President and Jils cohorts are replying to critics within their own party with nothing but "epithets." "It is the "forgotten man' of 1332 Rooseveltlan oratory who complains that he atlU Is In that category." it said. The pamphlet's cover bore no title, but carried In bold black type the following "epithets" from recent ut terances of the President, Hugh 8. Johnson, Speaker Balney, and Donald B. Blchberg, NBA counsel: "Tories," "chlselers," "dead cats." "witch doc tors," "bank wreckers," "traitors." Says Support Given After quoting Andrew Jackson and Theodore Boosevelt on the right to criticise official acts, the publication said: "No administration In the his tory of the United States, having a task to perform, has been given as unanimous support by the American people as the Boosevelt administra tion." Declaring the administration's re quests had been granted by congress fully and without complaint, the pamphlet asserted Mr. Roosevelt had been entrusted with more power 'than was given Lincoln to save the union or Wilson to wage the World war." "A month or six weeks ?go." It said, "there began to be criticism of the policies of the administration. It was pointed out the columns of the public press that the President's re covery program was not working, be cause It was not workable: that many of the policies ran contrary to funda mental economic laws, sound business practices, plain common sense and particularly to the spirit of Ameri can institutions and the convictions and traditions of the American peo ple. Criticism From Own Party "That criticism did not originate with partisan opponents of the Presi dent. It came from outstanding mem bers of the democratic party. It found virile expression in the editorial col umns of staunch democratic news papers.' The republican committee contend ing the public objects to receiving orders from "some bureaucratic top sergeant" for "all private enterprise" to do "squad right" and "squad left." Simultaneous with this second com mittee attack upon the administra tion. Senator Pess of Ohio, assistant republican leader of the senate, told newspapermen the Boosevelt program could not succeed because It was based entirely on relief "at the ex pense of permanent recovery." He complained that the securities act, the NBA and other administra tion measures were holding up devel opment an8 reemployment In durable or "key" industries whew the Jobless number nearly 6.000.000 compared with only about 540.000 in the con sumptive goods trades.

(Associated Press Photo) FOR 23 YEARS ON Meteorological notes for ' November, compiled by W. J. Hutchison, local meteorologist, show the month was one of the driest Novembers to be experienced In the Medford area dur ing the past 23 years. Only on one occasion In that period has the short age of moisture been more pronounc ed. In November, 1929, the total monthly precipitation was 0.02 inches; this year a total of 0.03 Inches fell. Measurable amounts of rainfall were recorded only on the 1st' and 3rd. thereafter the balance of the month was practically without mois ture except for a few very light show era which were recorded as traces. A trace of snow fell on the 28th. Sea sonal rainfall at the close of Novem ber totaled 1 47 inches, showing a deficiency of 2.87 Inches. Settled fall weather following the light rains on the first three days continued, with clear or partly cloudy skies, occasional morning valley toga and below freezing minimum temper atures to the 18th. Unsettled cloudy conditions with a few extremely light rains prevailed throughout the re maining portion of November. Morn ing fogs were frequent during this closing period. Temperatures for the most part were seasonable, averaging close to normal except on the 29th and 30th when the lowest minimum of the month was recorded at. 18 degrees. The highest maximum registered 65 degrees on the 5th. In comparing these extremes of temperature for No vember with the past 23-year record, absolute temperatures for the period show a maximum of 80 degrees and a minimum of -18 degrees. Exceptionally dry weather prevail ing during the month resulted in considerable delay to seasonal farm ing and orchard field activities. Plow ing seeding, due to the lack of soil moisture. Is reported as having pro gressed most unsatisfactorily. Dense morning valley fogs disrupted much air traffic. However, In the majority of cases, these fogs rapidly dissipated shortly after the noon hour and air craft schedules could be resumed without serious delays. Char. Date Max. Min.

Several large turkey farms In Yakl-: ma valley have been using the semi scald method of dressing their birds. with an apparent advantage over the "dry pick" method. R. D. Mitchell of Sunnyslde, Wash., who was the first to Install the equipment in 1931, has used It for approximately 1800 tur keys a year for the past two years, ! and Is using it again this year. I The advantages claimed of a semi-1 scald method are that the pin feath ers are more easily removed, the yel low color la brought to the akin, and the birds are plumped to give a more finished appearance. In using the semi-scald system of dressing turkeys. the bird is first stuck and rough pick ed In the usual manner. Each bird Is then Immersed In the semi-scalder with a water temperature of exactly 128 degrees Fahrenheit, for a period ol 30 seconds. The temperature of the water and time for Immersing each bird Is very Important, as slight vari ations In temperature or time will result in loosening the skin of the bird, with a resultant decrease In market value. After being Immersed for 30 sec onds the bird Is ready to be pinned. The pin feathers are more easily re moved and the birds have a cleaner appearance. It also Is noted that the warmth of the water brings out the yellow pigment of the skin and the bird will have a light yellow color that adds materially to Its appear ance. After completing the pinning the turkey Is again dipped in the scalder two or three times to "plump" it. The bird should be then cooled Immediately, the feet washed, the hesd wrapped, and hung up. The equipment xiscd by Mr. Mitch ell consists of a 50-gallon oil barrel, partially filled with water. The water ts heated by electric heating elements placed near the bottom of the barrel, and the water temperature controlled to exactly 128 degrees by an accurate electric thermostat. The equipment is adapted for local metal shop con struction and is inexpensive to con struct. The power consumption Is quite low. making it a practical op erating Installation. Although this equipment has been used rather extensively in Washing ton, there are no known farms in Oregon using this method of dressing turkeys. The Oregon State Agricul ural college intends to investigate it thoroughly and probably dress a por tion of the turkeys at the Hermiston branch experiment station this year to determine the practicability and economics of this equipment for Ore gon turkey farms. Seml-scaldlng is approved by federal grading require ments, and if it has the advantages In improving the grade and laoor aavlng aa claimed by the neighboring state. It should be a popular piece of equipment for the Oregon turkey iarma.

Bank Kni TOR'S NOTE: This la the third or a series of four stories describing epochal bat I les over America's money. By CARL C. CRANMER WASHINGTON (AP) The de mand for more currency had a great deal to do with the money battles of Andrew Jackson, whose contest with Nicholas Blddle and the second Unit ed States bank which he headed is historic. His fight would be comparable to day to a battle royal with "Wall Street." His "brain trust" then was known as the "kitchen cabinet, ' composed mainly of Journalists and personal advisers who originated many of the tricks of the trade In politics as practiced today. A "Hard Money" Mun Jackson prided himself upon being a "hard money" man. and on hla tours about the country made a show of the silver, rather than paper, with which he paid his accounts. However the "conservatives" were allied against him. But Jackson was convinced the bank was meddling in politics, and moreover that It was unsound for government deposits. "I tell you. sir. she' broke . . . the bank's broke and Blddle knows It," he once exclaimed. Seeds of the revolt against the bank lay In credit expansion during the war of 1812 and the inflationary effect of the government's easy credit policy toward selling public lands In the rapidly growing west. State Banks Issues Copious State banks. Issuing bank notes with little hindrance from state law. helped to supply the need for credit and currency, Calhoun once charging them with issuing tl70.000.000 in bank notes based on only $15,000,000 In specie In their vaults. The demand for paper money was accelerated, too. because the Mint act of 1792 undervalued gold at the ratio of 15 to 1 and little of it was minted. Silver disappeared aa fast as It was minted because the new dollars were In demand for trade with the Spanish possessions. One of the first results of the char tering of the second bank In 1816 had been to force the state banks to con tract their njte issues and curtail their loans to get on a specie basis. The bank also attempted to control the note issue of the state banks. These policies nearly precipitated a. crash In 1810. Old Hostility Persisted The second bank inherited some hostility left by the first bank which had been abolished in 1811. But most of Jackson's cabinet was against his plan of withdrawing gov, eminent deposits to the "pet," or state, banks. He changed his secre tary of the treasury three time be fore Taney finally wrote the order. A hostile senate friendly "to Hcnrv Clay, voted tq censure the.pnealdent. Tne gaunt old general, still suffer ing from wounds received in a duel and from general debility aa a result of his military service, held to his course. The bank difficulties, and the "specie circular" of 183G. coupled with government financial transac tions, led to the panic of 1837. The "specie circular" represented Jack, son's "hard money' 'policy, because it required the payments for public lands to be made in specie, and woe therefore a drastic curtailment of credit In the west.

L BE John Snider, editor of the Crater magazine, edited at the Medford high school, Is now supervising the finish ing touches on the first edition for thla year. He and the staff have been very busy as they expect to Issue the first copy some time between December 18 and 22. making It a Christmas number. An unusual cover Is planned. Three overlapping pictures of a night rally, cross section of the grandstand, and a football action picture on a back ground of white, glazed paper are to be used. Advertising by various local mer chants will partly cover the cost of printing. Thirteen organizations are to have stories and group pictures printed In return for paying a mini mum charge. The magazine la to be somewhat smaller and different In size than last year, but promises to be very attractive. Besides the stories and advertis ing there are to be eight tine etch ings and four pages of humor. The stories are written by the Jour nalism class under the direction of Ralph Bailey and the pictures were taken by Verne Shangle, local pho tographer, a few weeks ago.

Dec. 6. (AP) How state and federal plant breeders of corvams. Ore., sped up hop maturity by the use of artificial light and darkness was described today In an agriculture department report. The department said by the aid of newer methods the breeders grew hops from seed to fruiting maturity in three years, whereas in the past it usually has taken about five years. In searching for defenses against the mildew disease whloh In 1030 at tacked hop vines In Washington and Oregon, the breeders discovered that seeds differ widely in behavior, tho report said, some germinating imme diately where temperature and mois ture are favorable while other nat urally He dormant for a period. Some seeds that ripen In the fall will not sprout until spring, the breeders learned, but they also discov ered -that an artificial winter may overcome this dormancy. Another discovery was that plants rospond to Illumination and tho length of day. Some plants can be forced to flower early by supplement ing the sun with artificial light, tho report explained. hlle others will not flower unless the day Is shortened. Such plants can be kept growing without flowering if tho natural shortening of the day Is counteracted by electric lighting. The report said that no new varie ties have been released yet for com mercial planting, but predicted far reaching results by use of the arti ficial wintering and summering.
