MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREOOX. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1934 PAGE TTTRKK F. R. TOLD A true example or the direct action possible on farm loans through com munication with President Roosevelt, was told here today by a well-known business man, who preferred that his name not be made known. The story goes like this: He held a mortgage for $10,000 on ft well known Rogue River valley farm. The people were unable to make payments on the mortgage because of the pre vailing low prices on farm produce. The holder of the mortgage urged them to apply for a federal loan lor $7,000, promising that if auch were granted he would cancel the loan for 10.000 held. Action was taken In that direction, but without success until a letter was written directly to President Roose velt. It went out by airmail Monday, and on Wednesday notice was received here that the loan was being granted as a preferred loan. The mortgage was cancelled. The farm In the cose Is an un usually good one, but like most farms during the present period, waa un&Ne to produce enough In dollars and cents to make any payments on the mortgage. Through the federal loan the owners will be allowed a long period In which to repay the money, a period which It Is believed Will bring much more to the farmers than, the past several years have brought.

E HOPE OF PLACE ON BENCH In a front page story, direct from Washington, carried In the Oregon Journal today, announcement la made that the "way may be opened to a new appointment to the bench In the ninth Judicial dtstrict, in which event the friends of Evan Reames of Medford, Ore., may renew the effort to get his selection." The announcement, welcomed en thusiastically by members of both political parties here, came as a com plete surprise to Attorney Reames. he stated when interviewed this aft ernoon. He explained that although such an appointment would certain ly be welcomed that he had taken no action and would do nothing to prevent confirmation of the appoint ment of District Judge Frank H. Norcross. nimed for the position. The Journal story, however, states that ob lections Indeed with the sen ate ludlHary committee seem cer tain to cause long delay on the con firmation of Norcross of Nevada as fourth member of the bench In the ninth judicial district, which includes the states of the Pnciflc coast. It gees further to state that re ports at the canitol warrant the belief that Judcc Norcross will never be confirmed "unless there Is a de cided turn In sentlnnt among sen ators who have, in a preliminary way. considered the comolnints that have been made against him." Attorney Reames was presented as the Oregon choice at the time Nor cross was named, and much disap pointment was voiced throughout the state when the aopolntment went to Nevada. The enthusiasm with which another opening to the ap pointment would be greeted here was well signified In the position given the story In todnv's Journal. Turnlne to the Judge Norcross con troversy the story reads in detail: "Judge Norcross Is said to be In volved in a controversy over the ap pointment of receivers of the Owl Drug company, made by him as dis trict judge. A sub-committee of five, consisting of Senators McCarren of Nevada. Black of Alabama and Van Nuys of Indiana. Democrats, and Nor rls of Nebraska and Hebert of Rhode Island, Republicans, was appointed some time ago to consider the charges. "No hearings have been held, partly because of the expense involved In bringing witnesses from Nevada, and the subcommittee Is expected to ask authority to go to Reno after the adjournment of congress to take testimony. Senator Borah of Idaho is reported to be ready to lead a fight against confirmation and mem bers of the subcommittee are said to be so much impressed with the charges that they feel extensive rn vestlgntlon should be made. Two of the members. Van Nuys and Hebert, have already gained considerable knowledge about the case because of testimony taken In San Francisco last November as members of a spec ial committee to Investigate bank ruptcy and receivership proceed I ngs In the United States courts. No Act ion Hilled "Apparently there will be no ac tion on Norcross during the present session and the possibility arises that the president will not again send his name to the senate. "The three sitting Judges of the ninth, circuit are Wilbur of Califor nia, a Republican, and Saw telle of Arizona and Garrecht of Washington. Democrats. Norcross is a Republican, but there is no rule or established custom as to how the four Judges shall be divided politically. Geographically, the confirmation of Norcross, would give three of the four places to the southern part of the circuit. The state unrepresented arc Oregon. Idaho and Montana. Costume Party Pythian Sisters are entertaining tomorrow evening with a costume party at the home of Mrs. Perl Flchtner. All sisters of Pythlai temple No. 40 are Invited to attend News from Urn.
