MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREO OX, TIIURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 193 1. PAGE THREE COURT TEST FOR When Navy Fliers Headed Westward fL INTERESTED Commissioner Thomas' Cen sorship of Budgets. Due for Hearing in S. F. Fede ral Court January 29th By CLAYTON V. BERN HARD (Associated Press Staff Writer.) B&UEE&, Ore., Jan. 11. 7P) Or ' gon'a utility budget censorship law. the first statute of Its kind in the United States, and the basis of orders for sharp salary reductions for upper ' bracket officials of utilities operating in Oregon, win receive a test of con stitutionality m San Francisco fed eral court this month. The hearing has been tentatively set for January 29. In 1933 the statute which clothes the Oregon utilities commissioner with power to reject in any rate valu ation proceed I nga "Imprudent and unwise expenditures or payments by utilities," has since the first of this year been invoked against the Pa cific Telephone & Telegraph com pany, the California Oregon Power company, the Mountain States Power company, and several other . utilities operating in Oregon. Thomas Takes Action. Commissioner Charles M. Thomas, who was only 22 years old when he was elected prosecuting -attorney for Jackson county, Iowa, and who until his appointment to the commission three years ago, was circuit judge of southern Oregon, not only has order ed salary reductions which In some cases amount to 50 per cent or more, but be has ordered cancelled the usual payments by the utilities to service and holding companies . In eastern states. Thomas has further recommended that salaries of San Francisco and Seattle officials of the telephone com pany be slashed drastically, a neces sary move, he said, In computing Oregon's reduction of Its share of th esalarles paid these officials. Has Appeal Right. "The utility, of course, Is given the right to appeal," the white-haired and stately commissioner observed, "but the law provides that the Items objected to shall not be charged against the rate payer until the com missioner Is reversed by court de cree. The company may expend the money, but if it does so It must be charged against the stockholders' fund, which Includes surplus." When the salary slash was ordered by Thomas in the case of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, that utility brought action In federal court for a temporary injunction, an Inter locutory injurictlo nand a final de cree adjudging the order Illegal and void, -on the contention the law la unconstitutional. Federal Judge James Alger Fee granted a temporary restraining order and said the hear ing on the application for an Inter locutory Judgment would be heard by the senior court Judge at San Francisco. I. H. VanWlnkle, attorney-general for Oregon, has refused to comment on the constitutionality of the act. OF TO SILL J WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. (AP) Dissatisfaction with the volume of re employment achieved by NRA through Its code regime showed Itself today as the underlying cause of Hugh S. Johnson's . intention to try for a general further shortening of work hours. Conservative estimates of NRA of ficials on the employment Increases actually attributable to codes In the manufactxirlng Industries, they say, do not exceed 1,500,000 men. This does noj Include the substan tial Increases In trades and service Industries, which are not accurately estimated. However, It is the manu facturing Industries which officials feel must be counted upon to take the lion's share of the permanent employment. Public works and civil works are carrying a load estimated at 4,000,000 men or more. This Is temporary work, most of It to end In the spring. Administration quarters assert feeling that If real, lasting recovery Is to be had. Industry must find Jobs for a large proportion of these men, once the civil works expendi tures are cut off. There Is a cer tainty also at NRA that such re-em-plovment can not be forthcoming within the year on present schedules. Much reliance is being placed by the administration on the projected vast federal expenditures within the next six months to swing Industry Into hleh productivity aealn. Johnson's attempt for shortened hours will be made at a mna meet ing of code authorities which, begin nlng February 15. la to consider all the trouble spots In the industrial control experiment. There were 'indications that an average of 32 hours a week would be sought for industrial workers Instead of the prevailing 40, hut Johnson and his aides shnrcd coiii durable doubt as to Industry's ahllltv to cut hours so much and still maintain the In rrrpd rate of pny to factory workers, i screwdriverIncogs fbtures man's skull FF.NDI.FTON, Orr..

Producers, distributors and the pub lic will receive equitable treatment, the board stated.

TEACHERS CHORAL CLUB to present concert at the Howard School FRIDAY EVE. January 12 Admission 10 cts. for adults 6 cts. lor children NEXT MONDAY ON IMAL A session of the grand Jury for Jackson county the first In nearly six months is scheduled to start next Monday, January 15, following instructions of the court. Thomas J. Bell, Jr., of Talent Is foreman. The district attorney's office reports that dozen or so criminal matters will be brought to the attention of the inquisitorial body. Two cases, referred back to the grand Jury, at the October term of the circuit court will be considered. One Is the case of C. H. Brown, secretary of the late self-styled "Good Government Congress," Indicted for "slandering a bank." The other is the Indictment against Joe Cave, city policeman, charging Involuntary man slaughter. Both Indictments were quashed upon technical grounds when brought to trial, and ordered recon sidered by the court. A previous grand Jury and a special grand Jury, with a special prosecutor named by the governor, failed to re turn an Indictment against Cave, but the grand Jury of a year ago returned one. All the Investigations grew out of the death, of Everett Dahack of Eagle Point, during a raid on a Reese Creek still In December, 1930. "The Dahack case" was the main weapon of Agitators Banks and Fehl during their personally engineered political turmoil, and the facts became highly Involved In politics. .

Members of the grand Jury made affi davits they were, but denied the mat-' ter under Investigation was discussed.
