WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. 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 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

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

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.

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."

All material collected In the casa
