S&ttafactlon. with tb preaent plan of making production Allocations un der the lumber code, with lumber for export Included Jn the quotas, was xprewed today by representatives of more than 90 per cent of the com panies In the Pacific northwest en gaging in export business. Their views, presented before the national control committee of the lumber code which has been meeting here since last Tuesday, made It like ly that no change in the plan will be made, It was indicated. '.'If It is the purpose of the reoovory act and the Industry codes to control and regulate unfair competition arjd chiseling activities," L. E. Force of Seattle, general manager of the Doug lah fir exploitations and export com pany, said, "It is as necessary In our export trade as In our domestic trade." "If export lumber Is exempt frum the code you will find competitive conditions on this side of our foreign business such that ruinous prices will prevail and It will be Impossible for the industry to- Justify home consum ers paying established minimum prices, and It Is possible that even some of our foreign markets would have a clean-cut case of dumping against us. "It Is true, perhaps, that some in dividual mills would benefit by ex ports being exempt, but If every mill was granted exceptions to fit its par ticular operation, we would probably need as many codes as there arc mills." STATE EFFECTIVE (Continued from page one) he would favor the federal govern ment collecting all volume levies on liquor with a provision to return a percentage to those states which do not Impose a similar tax. Dough ton said he believed the presldetn favored this proposition, al though he was leaving the liquor revenue problem entirely with con gress. Doughton proposed that 20 to 25 per cent of the federal tax be re turned to those states which do not Impose a volume levy on liquor. Irr Crusader Views BINGHAMPTON, N. Y., Dec. 1. (Ap)-wm. E. ("Pussyfoot"') John son, Internationally known dry cru sader, declared In an Interview here today that If repeal Is to be a suc cess the total tax on whisky should not exceed 50 cents a gallon. "Repeal is here, and we should make the most of It by keeping the bootleggers from trafficking in spir its," Johnson declared. "Before the lBth amendment, tax on liquor was $1.10 a gallon and for 30 years before the 18th amendment an average of 1500 Illicit stills were seized annually by revenuers. "If $1.10 a gallon tax will not eliminate the bootlegger, and illicit liquor manufacturer, how will $2.60 or $3.60 a gallon tax do It? "It only takes about 40 cents to manufacture a gallon of whisky and a tax of more than 50 cents a gallon on whisky lets down the bars for bootleggers."

OP) A man with snow white hair sat back In his chair tonight, hesitant to talk, seemingly more anxious to "listen and learn" about the aviation which nil around him were discussing. And yet 30 years ago tomorrow this same man made the first successful power flight In a heavier-than air machine. Ho was Orvllle Wright, the guest of honor' at a dinner given by men prom inent in the Industry which he gavo a literal flying start. As he sat at the banquet table a story came over the wires from Nor folk, Va- it was from Harry P. Moore, newspaper man, and told how, in 1903, ho offered thirty newspapers a story about Orvllle Wright making an airplane flight at Kitty Hawk. N. C and how only six papers accepted It. Some even refused to pay for his teler graphed offer, he said. "I obtained the story from the Wright brothers' friends, the llfesavera at Kitty Hawk, where the flight was made," wrote Moore. "Up to the lay Orvllle Wright made the flight, the people at Kitty Hawk regarded him and his brother, Wilbur, as 'half cracked.' "The llfesavera not only supplied me with the story, but they also gave me photos of the flight." Mention of the photograph brought a smile to the face of the surviving brother and called forth one of his few comments on his experiment. AMERICAN TRADE NEW YORK, Dec. 16. (AP) The Peek tariff bartering committee, the Associated Press learned authoritative ly tonight, contemplates a corpora tion to handle all American foreign trade. Under a proposal outlined here, the government would share with private industry and business in the capitalization of the export agency. which likely would approximate a billion dollars. It would be under government regulation. The agency would supervise pro duction for world trade. The gov ernment, to lncYease export quotas and better the markets abroad, would bargain with tariffs and Imports. Such a plan la in line with the recent White House announcement that the tariff committee, of which Oeorge N. Peek Is chairman, will recommend department machinery to co-ordinate all government relations to American foreign trade. LITTLE GIRL'S PET SAVED. RETURNED PORTLAND, Ore., Dee. 16.

(AP) Three mountaineers charged with the killing of ThomM Price, wealthy philanthropist, were convict ed late tonight of second degree murder by a Jury In Wayne superior court. Wayne Poller. 34-year old mica miner whom the state charged fired the fatal shot, was sentenced, by Judge Felix A. Tarvey to from 20 to 95 years in prison. Rls brother Clarence, 29, was sen tenced to from two to four years, and Eric Ledford, 22, a cousin, drew a sentence of from IS to 20 years Imprisonment. Wayne Potter's 14-year old son Clyde, charged with conspiracy In connection with the crime, was ac quitted by the Jury of mountaineer:. The state had sought to convict the three men on a first degree mur der indictment. Conviction of first degree murder In North - Carolina carries a mandatory death sentence. The Jury, which received the case at 3:55 p. m., deliberated for seven hours before a verdict was reached. The courtroom was crowded when the verdict was announced But there was no demonstration. The defense immediately filed not ice of appeal, and the bonds for the three men were set at 10,ooo each. Frantically the little girl searched. Persistently her father, president of the Portland Gas & Coke company, advertised in the Portland papers and bent every effort to find his daughter's missing playmate. Today they picked up a newspa per. A first page story told of the rescue of a curly-haired spaniel from a ledge hardly a foot above the ris ing waters of the Willamette river. Eagerly they read the story, turned to the page where It was concluded, and there waa a picture of the res cued dog. "It's Rusty!" cried Candaoe. And Rusty It was. They got him from the Oregon Humane society which had helped In the rescue and placed him in a cat and dog hospital. IN JERSEY WRITE T NEWARK, N. J., D. iff) A mass meeting of striking employee of the Ford Motor company's Edgewater assembly plant will be held at the la bor lyoeum here tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of reviewing the strike situation and, probably, to adopt a resolution to be sent to President Roosevelt. J. Olenn Anderson, counsel for the strikers, said today he was unable to predict what form the resolution would take but Indicated It would be a vigorous protest to the president of their treatment by the Ford company. Anderson saJd.the strike, called Sep tember 28, had turned into a "lock out" and asserted the Ford company had refused to take the men back in a body and also had refused to ne gotiate with representatives of the workers. He said there were 1.250 workers "locked out," about 35 of the original striking groups having found Jobs elsewhere. Plain Gall PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 16.(JP) Victor Q. Milne waa lodged in the city Jail today charged with vagrancy and destroying personal property. "All I did," he complained to police, "was to cut a piece of isinglass out of the curtain of a parked automobile to use in my billfold." Be correct.) corseted in an Artist Model by Bthelwyn B Hoffmann At Rialto Will Rogers returns in "Doctor Bull" and will play at the Rialto theatre today and tomorrow, on the same program with "The Death Kiss," which has David Manners, Bela Lu gost and Adrlenne Ames featured. "Doctor Bull" shows Rogers as the small town physician, whose reme dies and cures are aU old-fashioned ones and combines with the homsly philosophy that has so endeared Rog ers to the American public. "The Death Kiss" supplies in large portions, drama, suspense and excel lent acting. Laid in a Hollywood mo tion picture studio. It also offers a different angle from those used to date. Clever maintaining of suspense throughout, makes "The Death Kiss" one of the most interesting thrillers to be shown here for a long time. The same program also has a select ed group of short subjects. HUNDRED CANDLES ON THIS CAKE Still bright-eyed and vivacious, h.argaret Hayes, one of the few sur vlvfng sanitary commission nurses the Clvtl War, ceelbrated her one hundredth birthday In Lot Angeles with party. There was cake with 100 candles. Robert C. Blair (right), Grand Army of the Republlo member, was a guest. (Associated Preia Photo. ATTENTION TURKEY GROWERS Have Cash Buyer for Your Turkeys for Delivery on Dec. 18 and 19 Call 624 Daytime 1545-J-2 at Night or 18-x-l, Central Point Clara Bow in Craterian Hit Clara Bow, the ever-fiery, makes her latest screen appearance In "Hoopla," opening today on the Craterian thea ter's new double feature policy. Kay Francis In "Mary Stevens, M. D." if the other feature attraction. Taken from the play "The Barker," "Hoopla" shows the red-headed Clara as the cooch dancer of a carnival, and the environment of the open-air show forms a rich background for her ever-changing personality and fiery emotions. Richard Cromwell has the role of the youngster who falls in love with the dancer; Prestln Foster Is his father, the chief barker; Minna Gombell, Herbert Mundln and James Oleason also have featured roles. In "Mary Stevens, M. D."t Kay Francis typifies the professional wo man so rapidly becoming accepted In heretofore male professions. As the woman doctor whose love for "her man" Is enduring even when he turns to another woman, Kay Francis gUes a strong performance. Lyle Talbot, as the doctor lover; Thelma Todd as the selfish spoiled woman and the othsr members of the cast, including Glen da Farrell, Una O'Connor and Harold Huber. all play their roles well. A selected group of short subjects rounds out the program. Gold Digger ifSi r-f! l -araJ proceeds to get them back to the business of writing songs. Speed, action and heart-throbs are the distinguishing features of "The Return of Casey Jones," Monogram's feature of railroad life which Is the second feature on the Holly pro gram. Starting off at a rapid pace, this picture gains In momentum and dramatic Interest as the plot unfolds. Silhouetted against the ever-changing background of railroad life and country disorganized by war, its simple, sincere story kept last night's audience absorbed right up to the final fade-out. Joan Blondell is featured In Hie elaborate musical hit, "Gold Diggers of 1033", which opens at the Studio theater today. Spectacular settings and song hits are combined with dra matlc and comedy Incidents to make this a truly great picture. Warren Wil liam, Joan Blondell and Ruby Keeler, also have important parts. Fast Comedy Team Heads Double Bill On Holly's Screen The two Jacks of comedy, Oakle and Haley, together with Ginger Rogers, Thelma Todd, Gregory Ratoff and Lew Cody, make up the feature section of the all-star slngtng-danc- lng-laughtng cast In Paramount screen musical, "Sitting Pretty," now at the Holly In Manager E. E. Marsh's special double bill. It was directed by Harry Joe Brown from an original story sug gested by Nina Wilcox Putnam, and in addition to the above named players, two popular radio feature acts, the Pickens Sisters and the Beverly Hill Billies, are given im portant sequences. The picture Is crammed with catchy, lilting tunes written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, authors of "Underneath a Harlem Moon" and "An Orchid to You." and there are two "production numbers" backed up with eye-fill lng sets and more than one hundred of Hollywooda talented beauties. 'Sitting Pretty" li a music- and- song-sprlnkled story of two amiable. wise-cracking chaps from "song pluggers' row" In New York. They can write good songs (the best in the world, according to them), but they have a hard time proving It, Even after they get to Hollywood, It's blondes and red-heads.

Why We Think the Fox Theatre Chain and Holly Theatre Are A Menace to Medford and Vicinity and to Us -- the Independent Theatre Owners .... WE think the past operation of the Fox Theatre Chain in Medford if enough to put the stamp of disapprov al forever upon them, for their whole purpose and aim seems, to us, to be along one line of thought, and that is to control all the theatres here. THEY purchased, last year, all the Major film product, forcing the closing of the Holly. George Roy, who was operating the State Theatre, was forced to quit, and the Rosy was forced to show pictures at ten cents and was barely able to remain open. They were unable to pay any decent salaries and were in a mont precarious condition. THIS was all done by Fox with staggering losses to . themselves ; so we believe that if ever there was such a thing as unfair competition, this is it. WE believe that every admission paid into the Holly Theatre is a direct thrust at our very vitals, and appeal to you the citizens of our own city to spend your money with the independent, homeowned theatres. BOTH Mr. Newman and Mr. Rosenberg called upon Oeorge Hunt, agreeing to maintain the same policy and prices as Hunt's Craterian when they opened the Holly Theatre. This agreement they have already broken by double billing and really, you can expect anything. You have heard of "bread wars" when bread was sold a low as one cent per loaf and, frankly, it is possible that theatre admissions might go that low in Medford. THEY may show pictures that you wish to see, but in this case, we ask you to wait for their showing in our second-run theatres, which will show them shortly after ward. Yours for a Greater and Better Medford, We, the owners are WALTER LEVERETTE. GENE CHILDER3. 0E0. A. HUNT THEATRES, Ino. The Independent theatres are STUDIO. ROXY. RIALTO. CRATERIAN. s
