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.

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

(Continued from page one)
ity, will meet In the courthouse at
Medford Saturday at 9 a. m. to es
tablish temporary prices and define
the limits of the Medford milk shed.
All communities In the Rogue River,
valley, from Ashland to Grants Pass1
will be represented at the Med ford
meeting, it was said here by E. O. '
Harlan, chairman of the milk board
of control. ,
The prices to be announced at this
meeting will be temporary, Harlan
explained, until more adequate data
and facts have been accumulated.
Producers, distributors and the pub
lic will receive equitable treatment,
the board stated.
A temporary order fixing prices a:
current levels was issued for the New
berg, Yamhill county, area when the
board learned of a threatened "milk
war" in that district. The board was
later assured by the Newberg Inter
ests thut full cooperation would be
extended.
Distributors at Eugene, where an
other threat was heard, have been
urged to stabilize their operations at
current prices until a hearing can be
held there, Harlan said, and Pendle
ton and LaGrande interests have been
advised ao do likewise, pending for
mal public hearings In those sec
tions of eastern Oregon.
The milk control board has not yet
set hearing dates for cities other than
Medford.

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. .
Cave, through his counsel, charged
that. Banks and Fehl were in the
grand Jury room during the quia.
Members of the grand Jury made affi
davits they were, but denied the mat-'
ter under Investigation was discussed.
The same grand Jury that returned
the Cave indictment also Indicted
banks for criminal syndicalism, and
criminal libel.
John L. Garrett of Butte Falls, held
to the grand Jury for alleged assault
with Intent to kill, as the climax of
birthday drinking bout, is also
scheduled for hearing. Oarrett is
alleged to have shot a lady In the
leg when she attempted to leave with
a Jug of moonshine, which had been
given him as a birthday gift.
The case of Alfred Poston of the
Plnehurst district, alleged to have
assaulted a state police officer last
fall when detained for questioning
on violation of the game law, la also
to be Investigated.
Actions based upon alleged viola
tion of the state medical laws, the
state mining laws, and obtaining
money under false pretenses are also
on tha calendar.
