Highest yesterday ',, 46 Lowest yesterday 36 Twenty-eifflitb Year Bj PAUL MAI.T.ON (Copyright, 1033, by Paul Mallon) Lift. WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 Prof. War ren's gold price gyroscope has been trying for two months now to lift commodity prices orf the ground. The highest altitude It has attained Is one-half an Inch. That can hardly be called a suc cessful flight. - There are definite indications that Prof. Warren's backer. President Roosevelt. Is secretly beginning to grow Just a little Impatient. He Is harboring some inner doubts as to whether the contraption will ever fly. He sees the RFC pouring the necessary millions Into the Warren uplift invention. He sees the price of gold going up but the expected rise In commodity prices Is barely noticeable to the naked eye. Any suggestion of a change In policy may be officially denied for the time being, so Warren can have a full opportunity to show what he can. do. But the suspicious among the ad ministration master minds Is be coming more noticeable every day. They can begin to see that the one constructive accomplishment of the policy has been political. It has kept the Inflationists off Mr. Roosevelt's neck. From that standpoint alone It is an entire success. Prices. The policy was Inaugurated by Mr. Roosevelt on October 25. He started out then to attain the 1926 com modity price level, through the War ren device. How far he has gone Is beet shown by the published commodity price Indices of Prof. Irving Fisher for each week since. It follows: (1926 Is 100) 0 O 8 ?8 I 3 3 Is. & 3 2 f Oct. si Oct. 28 Not. 4 Nov. 11 Nov. 18 Nov. 28 Dec. 3 Dec.

The Warren economists' figured at the beginning it would be more ef fective on agricultural products, be cause they are mostly exportable pro ducts and therefore would be moat favorably affected by the scheme. Agricultural products have risen from 47 9 to 48.1. That Is less than half of the general Increase. The non - agricultural products hardly provide a good teat of Warren theorlea. They have been under pres sure from the NRA. (The agricultural , prices have been under weaker uplift presure from the AAA.) The non-sgrlculturala were pushed up from 78.8 to 79.5. At that rate of speed It would only take about 100 years for Prof. Warren to reach the 1926 commodity level. rredlhlllty. The administration economists have a way of figuring It out In a more favorable light. They can select the prices of a certain few things which have gone up sharply In the last two months and make a table from them showing possibly a 15 per cent In crease In prices. The Fisher index affords a fairer barometer. Indeed It gives the ad ministration an edge because the majority of products In It are export able and therefore more aubmlsslve to the Warren theory. It Is not perfect. No Indices are. But It Is the standard one on that subject, and the best. , Piwperti, What seems to have happened to the Warren theory la Just what uauallv happens to experimental theo. ries when given a practical applica tion. They encounter unanticipated pres. sure from unforeseen quarters.

Its effic iency Is never as high as the In ventor expects. However. Mr. Rooseve'.t might keep on with It temporarily, merely be ' cause of the political re-ults. Prr- (Ccatiautd liai Pa." 8.x), M .

(AP) Clear, cold weather had brought con siderable relief to' Oregon tonight from what threatened to be one of the most serious flood conditions in its history. Trains were once more moving, though with difficulty in some Instances, and most of the high, ways were reopened. The town of Tulatln was flooded by the swollen Tualatin river. Rowboats were used through the main streets, where automobiles were abandoned In the swirling water. Motorists leaving Portland could reach point east of the upper Colum bia highway blockade by traveling over the Waplnltla cutoff, then pro ceeding to The Dalles by way of The Dalles-California highway.

Wal lace, Burke, Mull fin and Wardner were virtually isolated by torrents smash ing down the mountainsides, and in western Montana trains were delayed or halted.

Ore.. Deo. 23. (AP) The city . of Klamath Falls, as had been predicted for the last fortnight, late todays tied its formal chargea against the Kpox liquor control act In cir cuit couit here. The city's complaint, brought to Salem by Mayor Willis Mahopfey of Klamath Falls and Elton Watjrfns, special counsel for that city and a Portland attorney, asks a per manlnt Injunction against the state llquoy commission, restraining that body jfrom operating under the Knox act, which Governor Meier signed De cember 14. v A variety of reasons are set forth In the complaint as an alleged basis f oryxes training the act. The Knox measure Is held: yi. To violate the 14th amendment to the federal constitution by depriv ing the people of life, liberty and property without due legal process. 3. To violate the federal constitu tion which gives congress exclusive power to regulate commerce between the states. S. To violate section two, article XI, of the state constitution, the so called home rule amendment. 4. To repeal, Illegally, all conflict ing municipal enactments. B. To Increase the taxation bur den to all people In the state and to the city of Klamath Falls. 0. To violate the state constitu tion. Inasmuch as the Knox bill la held to be a revenue raising meas ure and thus not permitted to In clude the emergency clause. Mahoney and Wntklns asked the court to set next Thursday, Decem ber 2fl. at 10 a. m., as the time to hear the Injunction petition. Whether Judge Lewelllng can hear the case then has not been determined. Both Mahoney and Watktns said the cane would be carried to the state supreme court, no matter which way it was decided. They said the suit would be welcomed by all aides to the Knox bill controversy since It would determine the legal status of the measure.

BETHLEHEM STAR TO GLEAM AGAIN L Pilgrims Gather to Pay Rev erent Homage at Christ mas Time Patriarch Leads Annual Observance BETHLEHEM, Dec, 24. (Sunday) (A1) The pealing of bells and the bus tle of arriving pilgrims early today heralded the holy land's Christmas observances that will reach their cli max at midnight. Despite the strained racial and po litical atmosphere and the decline in the number of visitors because of the depression the spirit and piety of the worshippers gathering In this cradle of Christianity remained unaltered. Hundreds of pilgrims, American rd European visitors among them, as cembled in reverent remembrance of the birth nearly 2,000yeara ago of the Christ child. For despite the many centuries of change and destruction, and the strife In this land even at this time, the holy city still holds the imagination of mankind and no power has yt been created that can break the apel! which binds the world to It. Early this morning the Latin patri arch went out in procession from Je rusalem to the Roman Catholic con vent situated on the north side of the church of the Boly Nativity, there to spend the day In meditation and prayer. Tor-tght he will go into the church of the convent, which communicates with the church of the Holy Nativity, for vespers at 9 o'clock. The service will continue until shortly before midnight. Promptly at midnight a large star, representing the traditional Star of Bethlehem, will be lighted above the altar In this centuries-old edifice of stone and wooden rafters and at the same time a curtain will be drawn away to reveal the effigy of the hoiy infant. High mass will begin then. Shortly afterward, the patrlach, fol lowed by his clergy and notables, will participate In a procession with the holy babe to the Grotto where, in the spot of the manger marked by a star, the effigy will be laid rev erently. The Grotto, a hollow chamoer under the main altar of the Church of the Holy Nativity. Is said to mark the traditional stable where cnrisc was born. The spot Is the object of adora tion by the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Armenians, Protestants, Copts, and others, and there are very strict rules as to the number of lamps each faction Is allowed to have. Another annual ceremony is the , special service on the Young Men's Christian association site in the Field of the Shepherds, near Bethlehem, where Chrlatlans, with Jews and Mos lems as onlookers, will gather tonight to sing carols after partaking of bread and meat at the entrance of the shepherd cave. nabbls Protest SEATTLE.
