The big gest laugh of the month is the yarn actually published throughout the country that Mr. Roosevelt "does not and cannot Invent his policies." The second biggest Is the smart talk among Washington Insiders that the president la a coward and runs from his policies whenever the going gets rough. If there Is one thing Mr. Roosevelt has. It Is courage. He gambles more with policy than any president ever has. The shrewdest politicians here say that Is his chief fault. He takes chances needlessly, wnere ne couia Dlav safe. The main worry of .hla friends Is that he will not keep his courage under control. Confusion , The president's associates have been somewhat confused by the de cisions he has made during the past week. They regard hla ultimatum on air mall contracts, his peculiar handling of the stock market legis lation, and his original Intentions on the export corporation as not quite up to the stiff par that he has set for himself. The master's touch has been missing. The routine at the White House was Interrupted by the Illness last week of Louis Howe, Mr. Roosevelt's only confidential adviser.. Mr. Roose velt is worrying about Howe's Illness much more than you know. The situation has really become so serious that the president Is afraid Howe will not be back to his regular Job any time soon. They have gone through the thick of the fight to gether and it is only natural that the president should miss his po litical comrade in arms. Baikwatercd Everyone who claims to be smart around Washington and New York is saying that Mr. Roosevelt back watered on the NRA, CWA and the Warren gold policy. They are spread ing the word around that if suffi cient opposition la built up to any thing the president has In mind, his ultimate Judgment may be influ enced. They are mistaken, as they usually are. The president plays both ends of the political game, left and right. He listens to all sides but In the end makes his own decisions. No one else could Invent his policies. The elder conservatives of his party come trooping Into the White House from time to time trying to anaylze his motives. So do the lib erals. Neither group feels secure. Both .have a hunch that, while Mr. Roosevelt says "Fine, fine," to all they advocate, he may not endorse what they demand. What he does Is to take both sides of a question in advisory councils and try to hit a happy medium, mis gold policy was the tip-off on his method. He took the Warren theory and revised It to meet all political obligations. What you ultimately got In the existent gold policy Is the Roosevelt version of Warren's thesis. Too many cooks spoiled the pud ding in the arrangements made by Speaker Rainey for the reception of the president's stock exenange legis lation. The kindly Mr. Rainey Informed the White House that he would keep the house in session until 3:30 p. m. The thermometer fell. House mem bers decided that It was too cold to remain in session even for a presi dential message. The members ad journed and went home to get warm. The president was astounded to learn that the house had walked out on him and his stock market mes saee had to be delayed until the next day. Margin The nominal authors of the bill Rayburn and Fletched, agreed that no specific maraln requirement should be included. The liberal prosecutor, Pecrrat Is supposed to have objected to that arranttement and inflated that the 60 per cent marein requirement provision be re tained. Chitrmswi Rayburn of the house committee was not advised about the chance of play an neglected to nl clude that provision in the measure he introduced In the house. Five minutes before the president's mesnt!e was released, Fletcher sent one of his clerks scampering up to the press gallery to announce that both h:s and Rnyburn's bill would contain a flexible margin require ment. The whole story of that bill is yet to bo told. WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. (AP) The civil works administration today or dered all federal civil works proj ects not being ope ra ted on f ede ral property to be discontinued at mld-nl-lit tomorrow night. The action affects between 100.000 ar.-i 200,000 workers.

Action by Senate Completes Passage by Congress Signature by President Means Pay Day Saturday WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. (AP) The senate today completed congres sional action on the (950.000,000 ap propriation bill for the CWA and dis tress relief. It now goes to the White House. Final action came on a motion by Senator Borah (R-Idaho) to recon sider a previous action tn approving a partial conference report. He was defeated by a single vote, 42 to 41. The motion appeared to have carried. but Senator Tydlngs (D-Md.) strolled Into the chamber and swung it the other way. Borah and Senators Flttman (D- Nev.) and Copeland (D-N. V.) sought reconsideration to send the measure back to conference to strike out the provision prohibiting expenditure of any of the fund for new federal pro jects. Approval of the bill was completed when the senate receded from Its amendment to require senate confir mation of state CWA and relief direc tors. The bouse conferees and later the house itself rejected the senate direc tor amendment on the ground that state officials should not be subject to senate confirmation. The vote to recede from the amendment requit ing senate approval of state directors was 64 to 19. AM OFFICE HERE REMAINS OPEN IS The Oregon State Motor association offices will not be closed In Med ford during the months of January, Feb ruary and March, It was announced today and received as good news by motorists. Through the efforts of C. E. Gates, who was instrumental in bringing the AAA chapter to Medford 15 years ago, the Motor association haa been prevailed upon to retain out-of-state registry offices the year around In Medford, Klamath Falls, LaGrande and Bend. The original plan was to close all offices outside of Portland during the 'months of January, February and March. Mr. Gates Is director for the south ern Oregon district and was con ferring here today with Charles F. Gunther, Oregon sales manager of the AAA. The local office is managed by Lee C. Garlock. who In addition to ex tending the regular AAA service to motorists, takes registration of all out of state cars.

During the recent floods In Oregon, Washington and Idaho, the associa tion kept a staff on duty day and night, giving out information on road conditions whlrh were changing everv half hour. Radio stations were kept posted and broadcast Information every hour. Thousands of miles of needle- driving were avoided, not to mention the time and expense saved.

(AP)-The Washington Evening Star said today that Harry H. Woodrlng, assistant secretary of war, "is expected to re sign shortly." The Star said reports to that ef fect were "current In government cir cles." "The resignation," it added. "Is looked for regardless of the outcome of Investigations being made of Woodrlng's handling of war depart ment contracts. "Woodrlng recently incurred criti cism for his article In a magazine referring to the civilian conservation camps as a potential military asset, and was asked for an explanation at the White House. "A wide breach also has developed between Woodrlng and members of the general staff of the army over policies in connection with drawing up of specifications and Awarding contracts for army equipment. "This breach is reported to have become an unbridgeable chasm as a result of a stand taken by Woodrlng with respect to a proposal to sell to private interests about A8.000.000 worth of saddles, bridles and tarpau lins and other army supplies now stored In warehouses."

IODIC PLANS RESIGNING SOON ASSERTS PAPER Unofficial Estimates Place Civil War Toll Near 1500 Lives Government Gain ing Control, Is Claim VIENNA. Feb. 14. (V) Socialists fought sullenly today against govern ment forces in an apparently lost cause. The civil war between them and the government of Chancellor Engelbert Doll fuss already had cost. It was esti mated, from 1.000 to 1.500 lives. Scores of women and children were said unofficially to be among the casualties. VIENNA, Feb. 14. (AP) Scores of women and children are unofficially reported among the casualties of Austria's civil war. While the government Is publish ing no death toll details, feeling that would only add flame to the public excitement, an unofficial estimate shows between 1000 and 1500 persons have been killed In combat through out the nation. There are uncounted multitudes of Injured. The estimate of casualties is en tirely unofficial but was arrived at through conversation witn govern ment officials, army officers and a personal inspection by the Associ ated Press staff on the scenes of warfare. 1 Homes Shell Torn It Is hard to look at the shell-torn factory homes and buildings in the suburb of Florldsdorf alone without a temptation to allow at least one woman or child for every 20 male casualties there. For It was In Flolrdsdorf that women fought all through the night beside their men against overwhelm ing numbers of government troops, while shells screamed and amasnea their homes Into powder. Indications that the government itself recognizes the danger to chil dren were seen in a government de cree, issued tonight, closing all Aus trian schools Indefinitely and advice issued yesterday to keep children off the streets. Resume Vienna Battle Although the socialist quarters In Vienna were momentarily captured, today, after a short lull, the battle was resumed through streets still littered with the dead. The women fought like pioneers of the American prairies. A government troops commander said they helped carry munitions and reload rifles of their embattted husbands and broth era who fought from the windows of their homes. Their resistance was smashed by artillery. "There were plenty of Innocent non-combattants,' said one officer, "who had no choice but go through the shelling." The state of civil war between the socialists and the government con tinued seriotis throughout the nation, but in outlying regions the govern ment rapidly appeared to be gaining the upper hand. Imllfins Sees Victory Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, de termined to regain control of the gov ernment, declared the socialist fight was "madness." "One may say already." said Doll fuss, "that this undertaking haa en tirely failed and that the position of the federal government Is stronger than ever." At Llnz, one of the bloodiest spots In the rebellion, the government was definitely in control. The government carried out -its threat of death sentences against the rebels when a court martial sen tenced a 43-year-old shoemaker to hang. The government, summoning all available man power to Its side, poured reserve troops Into the capi ta). Elsewhere tn the natlo.i, the situa tion was believed to be coming under government control. Hoth Sides Confident However, spokesmen for both the government and the socialists confi dently predicted victory. In government circles, a reorgani zation of the cabinet wa discussed and It was expected that three mem bers would be eliminated and re placed by men of right radical be liefs. They are Dr. Karl Buresch. minister of finance; Richard Schmlte, minister of social welfare;- and Dr. Robert Kerber, minister without port folio. The government outlawed 36 so cieties and associations of various de scriptions on the grounds that they contained a socialist membership. Heath Accidental. PENDLETON. Feb. 14.

PORTLAND, Ore.. Feb. 14. (API Residents of Oregon had some difficulty today In arranging a proper observance of a day of con siderable distinction. It was Oregons birthday, the 75th anniversary of her admit tance to the union. It was St. Valentin's day. It was the Chinese New Years, beginning the year 4631 of the old order.

Y FORMED TO PASS ON PROJECTS A County Planning Commission, whose duties will be to consider and recommend future projects in which federal, state or county funds are ex pended for relief work, was formed yesterday by the county court. Per sonnel of the county commission Is as follows: H. VanHoevenberg. Sams Valley. chairman: W. C. Clements, Eagle Point, secretary: Em 11 Brltt. Jackson ville: Andrew Hearn. Phoenix; Fred Homes, Bellview; Guy Applewhite. Ashland; D. H. Ferry, Foots creek: W, B. Roberts, Medford, and Larry Schade, Medford. There will prob ably be ono or two more appoint ments. County Judge Earl B. Day. Commissioners R. E. Nealon and Ralph Billings, and County Engineer Paul S. Rynning are also members of the commission. The commission Is authorized by recent state legislation, and approved by the federal agencies. The purpose of the commission Is to consider projects, to the end that system be inaugurated, collect data and maps, and make a thorough pre sentation In connection with projects, Resources of the county wJU be listed, such as mining, timber, recre ational sites ano roads. "For Instance," said Judge Day, "a project was presented for the clean ing up of abandoned orchards. It was disapproved. The commission will have facta and figures the next time, to show that the work is necessary to prevent spread of pests and blight, and that It would be highly bene ficial to the pear orchardlst. It would also ccollect data on mineral wealth an undeveloped resource. In this way. the helter-skelter that attended the start of the CWA would be elim inated and both labor and the county would benefit.' "It la my understanding the plan ning commission will act if further expenditures of federal funds are nec eary for relief work. Of course, if times improve, and labor is absorbed, the need would not be so great," Judge Day aald. "The members of the commission were selected with an eye to having a cross-section of the county, and all districts represented." L The reconstruction finance corpo ration thts morning approved a loan to the Medford irrigation district In the sum of $402,870, according to a telegram received from Senator Fred erick Stelwer by Olen Arnsplger, gen eral manager of the district.
