No. 272. rnfrui nn Ml wmam, i : . ' - DUE Bv raul Mallon (Copyright, 1834, by Paul Mallon.) Dampen. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. Economic eoothAayera are getting a little wor ried now, not because business may Co bad, but because It may get too good. , They are thinking largely In terms of the stock market. Wall Strecters 'generally dash from fits of despair lnto'ecstacy and back again without stopping anywhere between. The current Improvement In gen eral business may cause a somewhat legitimate baby boom during the next 60 days. It will assume a dangerous aspect If the speculators or the public 1 or both try to make a full grown T man out of It Immediately. For that reason you may expect Mr. Roosevelt to throw a little cold water on the boomlet boys shortly. Purpose. The Idea la to keep a close check on the spring uprush and save as much of It as possible for the sum mer sllpoff. If that can be done, we will walk on firm ground atralght up bill. If not, the Inevitable reac tions from time to time will be abrupt. . Picture. We will probably get a stimulation In industrial production which will tarry us up to an Index of possibly 85 per cent of normal (1923-25) In March or April. It might even hit a high of 85 In the fall, although that ' u a long way to look ahead In these days. Such a strong production will cause considerable re-employment, but not enough to take caro or the four mil lions now getting money from the Civilian Works administration. There fore, Mr. Roosevelt's estlmato that he will quit handing out such' money May 1 is undoubtedly too optimistic. V He may get it down to where he. will have to care for only two millions at that time. But the chances are that the system will have to be con tinued in one form or another until rter the November congressional elections. Congressmen need those votes.

(AP) The French Federation of Labor . today called a 24-hour general strike for Monday agnlnst "the menace of fascism. PARIS, Feb. 7. (fp) Four more persons died in mob violence today as Premier Daladier resigned . and President Lebrun called a former president, Gaston Doumergue, to guide France through one of the most alarming crises In her history. The four deaths today brought the official list of dead to 10 persons, the government announcing that six were killed last night. One of yes terday's dead was. a woman. Hospitals today held-183 of the riot Injured; 283 more were treated In hospitals, then sent home. Lebrun told Doumergue to conic back from hi retirement tn the south of France, and form a new cabinet. Doumergue accepted the charge afteM an argument. Doumergue indicated he believed he could have a government organis ed within 12 hours after he reaches the capital tomorrow from his coun try home. Announcement a new government was in progress of formation, how ever, served in no way to modify the anger of crowds which paraded the streets and boulevards. Despite polite and military orders, they continued throughout the day in their wild demonstrations. The police won qne victory In the Place de la Concorde, bloodiest spot of yesterday's rioting, when they overcame pftcked hundreds of men who held'thoir ground throughout the day against depeated charges of mo bile guards, mounted police and or dinary policemen. The police finally cleared the Place de la Concorde and pushed the fight ing rioters back toward the Meac leine church. The list of injured, scflously and slightly, gained steadily throughout the day, and as night drew in. private cars were impressed Into duty as am bulances to rush the wounded to hos nltals. The horses of the guards, many of them riderless, plunged madly through the confusion of the Place ae la Concorde. Hallways and corners of the build lngs surrounding the great square were packed by persons seeking shel ter from the battling mobs and the notice. The apparent hostility of the crowds increased steadily. The courtyard of the Marine mln lstry, which the mob set afire lat night, was turned Into a barracks. Mounted troops and mobile guards were held there In reserve Instead of on the Place de la Concorde, tn the hope that diminution of the visible force might serve to paciiy tne crowa LINKED IN GRAFT WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. (AP) The Evening Star says indictment of at least three persons, two of them high in the ranks of the American Legion, will be asked of the federal grand Jury by the government In connec tion wlt,n the alleged conspiracy to graft on the millions of dollars al lotted for motorizing the army. As President Roosevelt today asked Attorney General Cummlngs to go to the bottom of the reported Irregu larities, a procession of army offi cers and motor company representa tives went into the grand Jury room some blocks away. The only name publicly mentioned by the war and Justice departments In the inquiry Is that of Joseph Sil verman, Jr.. of New York, but the Star reports that evidence presented to the grand Jury today Is said to have incriminated a former hla. ex ecutive in the Legion, now practic ing law here, and a legal associate. .

Martin, now rep re lenting the third, Oregon district In congress, hat announced hla candl dacy for the democratic nomination for governor of that state. (Associ ated Press Photot.. STATE BUSINESS HALTED WAITING E SALEM, Feb. 7. (& Death Of Hal E. Hosa early yesterday not only re moved the head of one of the major departments .of the state but tem porarily paralyzed the activities of virtually every other department de pendent upon the secretary of state's activities to further official business. The motor vehicle department, the issuance of warrants, filings of can didates for office, supplying official Information to the public and filing of any records were at a standstill and will remain In that manner until the appointment of the successor to Hons. Mall to the secretary of state remained unopened pending swearing In of a new secretary of state. The appointment to the office la vested with the governor, who an nounced today he would not name a successor until after the funeral of Hoss, scheduled for 2 o'clock tomor row afternoon. The appointee would serve until an elected official is nam-, ed in the November general election. The elective official would serve the remainder of the term, or until Janu ary 1, 1B37. ' While it was known the governor had under consideration appointment of Hoss' sucessor, no indications were given out as to whom he would name. Several candidates have been men tioned and it was understood large number sought the office. Earl W. Snell. speaker of the house of representatives, has been the mott prominently mentioned for the posi tion. It was understood he planned to seek the election in 1936, and prob ably will be a candidate this year since the death of Hoss vacated the office. Snell is a popular Legion member and would represent eastern Oregon on the state board of control, should his appointment be favored. Two other candidates had been mentioned, both from Portland. They are Tom Mahoney, formerly a mem ber of the state legislature, and George L. Baker, former mayor of Portland. Both the governor and state treasurer are from Portland, and the naming of another Portland man to the board of control might court dis favor on the part of the up-state, in dicating further strength toward Snell's appointment. Good news was received in Med ford today in a wire from Senator Fred erick Btelwer, announcing that the application of the Rogue River Val ley Irrigation district for a loan had been approved by the reconstruction finance corporation. The wire was received by Attorney Harry Skyrman. It did not state how much monev would be allowed the I tilfttrlrt. announrlnir that rletalli would follow. The Oregon delega tion has been very helpful to this section In Its efforts to gain Irriga tion loans, Mr. Skyrman stated this afternoon, reporting receipt of the wire.

(AP) A delineation of President Roosevelt's attitude on questions of the hour brought out at the White House to day that he favors a broad policy of reduction of Interest rates on the out standing obligations of industry, for eign governments and all ottwr forms of debts. - After holding his regular press con ference. the president devoted atten tion to a statement of policy as to control of sugar production involv ing relations with Cuba in the ex pectation of Issuing it a while later. Wants Deep Probe. More immediate steps were in con nection with the reports to him. of irregularities on war department con tracts, which he had up with At torney General Cummlngs and learned that the department of Justice already was at work on the case. The presi dent told the attorney general to go the limit. Complaints lfad beep heard from three or four sources. Incidentally, it became known there Is an administration feeling that As sistant Secretary Woodring of the war department has some explain ing to do about a recent article he wrote In regard to the Civilian Con servation corps. 'CCC Not Military. Mr. Roosevelt has not read the ar ticle, but made clear he regards the CCC as not a military unit. The Woodring article referred to It as a military unit. It Is understood Stephen Early, a secretary of the president, is going to talk with the assistant secretary of war about this Incident. It so happens Mr. Woodring also Is in charge of the awarding of con tracts. The president's sugar statement will announce the policy of controlling sugar Imports and propose domestic control under the agricultural adjust ment act. Legislation will be asked to make the sweet a basic commodity legally so a processing tax can be levied. No Proposals mated. Aside from this subject It appears unlikely that the president will have anything further to propose In the way of congressional action this week He expects congress to enact stock exchange control legislation at this session as a fulfillment of the Demo cratic platform. Mr. Roosevelt expecta soon to dis cuss this subject with congressional leaders. A bill to license the stock exchange and to bar pool operations is being prepared at the capltol.
