No. 280. rorMi rvn dm UM nnnflnnn BET SN mm By PAUL MALL ON (Copyright, 1934. by Paul Ma Hon.) Harbinger. WASHINGTON. Feb. 18. Profes sional silver agitators have been suck ing their thumbs and looking -wise during the past few days. That Is a aure sign a further silver move is nigh. The professionals do their scream ing when they think they are losing their battle. They -wisely keep quiet when they think they are winning. As a matteor of fact, word has been passed confidentially to them by a person very close to the White House that the administration Is going to take the limit off its silver purchases. They have been led to expect a na tionalization plan similar to that now In effect on gold. Chances. That hint Is partially confirmed by the fact that Prof. Warren has been investigating the silver problem. He la supposed to have worked out a basis of procedure now under con sideration in the Inner aanctifm of the White House. What the administration apparent ly wants to do la use Oliver to stop the rise of the dollar abroad. Prof. Warren's Job has been to find a way to do It. There is Just one Chanel that the administration may ditch the Idea. In case Secretary Morgentheu's in quiry Into the Identity of holders of silver stocks discloses that the silver supply la concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy persons, then the President will be disinclined to us the silver method. He would not want to put a government premium en silver prices for a few rich men. Self -flagging. The gag rule by house Democrats on the tax bill may not sound like a good argument for the Democratic form of government, but it was a practical necessity. , . . The bald truth is that the house doea not know enough about the subject to pass on such a bill. The chairman of the committee which drew the bill was Doughton of North Carolina. He frankly told the rules committee he did not under stand the technical administrative sections. Few do. These sections were worked out by experts who have devoted a life of study to the prob lem. They conceived a balanced scheme to block tax evasions and spent months In the Job. If some of their plans ar rejected the bill will be thrown out of bal ance. They figured out that If the community property section of the bill was eliminated. It would take them two months more to get the bill back in balance again. Every thing else would have to be changed Wisdom. There are some members of the house who are expert on the ub- lect. Included In that group would be such men as Fred Vinson of Ken tucky and Sam Hill of Washington - The sensible thing seemed to be for the leaders to take their word for the statement that the measure Is a cood bill, and let It go. Members of the house realized that and supported the leaders to protect the measure from amendment, ko revolt was threatening. -No specific ndrerse action was feared. The boys Just decided to play safe. Influence. It appears that anything Mr. Roose velt wants to do is all right with congress. That reaction was evident again when the President cancelled the air. mall contracts. No one except the conservative Republicans on the Hill seemed to have any objections. The rest thought Col. Lindbergh was fool lshly misled by his company In mak ne his protest. The Idea Is fairly generally accepted that the airmail subsidy system as a whole cannot be very easily defend ed. At least that idea has suddenly become popular In congress since Mr. Roosevelt acted. So many hearings are gotne on in congress now that the house com mitteea ran .out of stenographers a few days ago. Such an aviation btg shot as Vln cent Bendlx was kept waiting on the stand for 20 minutes in the hou.e naval affairs committee while mem bers ran around trying to find a stenographer to take down hts testi mony. Finally the weight and coinage committee thoughtfully adjourned and let the naval affairs commlttw have Ita stenographer. Note. Comptroller O'Connor cited In his annual report amor. the accomplish ments of his office the fact that he hsd made seven administration speeches during the psst year. He has made two more linos his report ws printed. Sensior Jim Brrnea waa the best riers source f.-r newsmen in congress ;xi session, but has shut down com pletely this action. The reason is that he Enovs everything that l colng on and is sfraid he will t it out If he ta'.ks.

Not Yet Announced NEW YORK, Feb. 18. (AP) Fed eral Judge John C. Knox refused to- fused today to restrain Postmaster General Farley by Injunction from cancelling the governments airmail contracts. PORTLAND, Feb. 16. (P) A spec ial dispatch to the Journal from Washington. D. C, today said that "following receipt of numerous pro tests against elimination of airmail at Medford. Senator McNary was as sured Friday by Superintendent CU ler of airmail service, that suspen sion of service will tot only tem porary." The dispatch added that the exact date for resumption has not been determined. The Medford airmail situation pre sents a more hopeful outlook today. It was announced by Chamber of Commerce officials. In response to the chamber's ap peal, a large number of Individuals and firms wired the Oregon congres sional delegation, many of whom have received a reply from Senator Charles L. McNary, as follows: "Immediately upon receipt ol wire conferred with Mr. osier, general superintendent of air mail service, who advised that service through Mpdford will be restored at an early date, though exact day has not yet been determined upon and Mr. Clsler assured me flint you nerd not be concerned over possibility of discontinuance of service. Kindest regards." The Chamber of Commerce, how ever, Is going to watch the situation very closely until the air mall Is again restored to the city, according to of ficials of the organization. By THOMAS J. HAMILTON WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. ( AP) The government will sharply tighten Its airmail belt when the army takes over the Job, and the public may feel the pinch. The miles-flown fare will be reduced more than half. Postofflce officials, busy with ar rangements for the Monday midnight transfer, expressed a belief, however, that there won't be a serious reduc tion In service. The "primary" routes are complete, they said, three additional "second ary" routes have been mapped, and the army plans to restore more shortly. To Fly 42.570 Miles At present, however, commercial companies are flying about 05,000 miles dally. Routes so far announc ed for t.he army total only 42,570. Queries are reaching the various federal agencies: How does this af fect the business man or banker, anxious to get papers from New York to San Francisco with only a day's delay? Well, he still can mall the letter In New York In the morning and have it delivered In San Francisco the next morning. Only It will not reach San Francisco until 10:45 a. m., Instead of getting there for the rtrst truck delivery. This line, backbone of the airmail service, is least affected. From New York to Chicago there will be five planes Instead of six. Chicago to Kansas City remains at three, and westward there will be iwo instead of three. Landing Fields Listed A varying system has been mapped for landing fields and lighted air ways. And army filers in many In stances will use fields owned by the companies they replace. Some company officials have of fered their facilities free. Others will be paid. When this is not pos sible army fields or emergency land ing fields will be employed. The general dally mileage will be reduced both by curtailing frequency of trips and by abandoning for Vie present many routes. About 125 army planes will be used aa com pared to a larger commercial fleet. PLANE DODGES FLAMING METEOR BY SCANT FEET I LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. Feb. 18. (AP) I The strange experience of being I bombarded from spare by a meteor j was described by Pilot Hiram Sherl 1 dan on his arrival here with the east ' bound night American Airways mall plane from Fort Worth. Texas. Sheridan said Just before he reached iTexarkana last night he saw the me ' teor break Into flame as It struck I the earth's atmosphere and described j huge arc. coming directly at the plane. I watched It for a minute or two." the pilot said, "and reailwd that It a as coming straight at me. I changed I my course and put on sperd. but it i looked like it would strike the plane la tiu oi U! i sc-ud do. Officer Sheridan Mum on Marriage During Visit Here According to a news Item In the Grant Pass Dally Courier, Stat Police Officer Tommy Sheridan' of Roseburg. formerly stationed here and In Grants Pass, "rolled into Grants Pass Thursday afternoon to call on friends at the court house and to Introduce his bride. Mrs. Sheridan la a former Suther Un girl. With her husband, aho was on her way to Medford." Although Officer Sheridan vis ited In Medford today with fellow officers, he made no announce ment here of his marriage. 356 TAKEN IN ON OPENING DAY BY RUM STORES PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 16. (AP) The sum of 11,356.65 had been rung up on the cash registers of Port land's four state liquor stores when they closed their doors at 8 o'clock last night after the first day of op eration. Of this total 519 was real ized from purchasers' permits at $1 each. A survey of the city showed, how ever, that many druggists and sev eral private liquor stores were sell ing bottled goods as usual. They said they had not been advised to discontinue operations and were awaiting a definite order from the state liquor control commission. As soon as this order is promulgated, the only stores (other than state owned establishments) that will be permitted to sell hard liquor will be druggists, and they on prescriptions only. George L. Sammls, -tate adminis trator, said he was pleased' with the first-day operation of the Portland stores. Bottle shops In other sec tions of the state will be opened this week and next. . - Sam Helfond, drug store employe, was the first person to be arrested by police .here for violating the state control law. A policeman aald Helfond sold him a pint of blended liquor for $1.75, and then asked the officer if he had a prescription. When the policeman said he did not, Helfond allegedly took a handful of prescription blanks from his pocket and put a check mark on one of them. Helfond was taken direct to the district attorney's office and was charged with unlawfully selling liq uor containing more than 14 per cent of alcohol by volume. PETITIONS FILED SALEM. Feb. H. (AP) A second petition calling for outright repeal I of the state liquor control law was riled late yesterday In the state de j partrnent by the "Knox Law Repeal club" of Astoria. The first petition, j Identical In nature, was filed earlier i yesterday by the American Brother i hood. Inc., of Portland. The second petition waa signed by I L. M. Kletzlng, secretary of the As toria group, who declared upon fil ing that the club waa malting the move because It opposed the stato I going Into the liquor business: pro : tested censorship of liquor advertls- Ing. high fees paid by restaurants I compared to low fees required of beer I gardens, the one dollar permit fee (after the federal government had j made buying legal and the Judicial 'authority given the state liquor con J trol commission. Fruit shipment from this city for the period between February 7 and last night, totalled 43 cars of pear. This includes the shipment of 28 cars dispatched to Portland a week ago. for shipment to France. One car of apples was ahlpped In the same period. Total shipments for the season now stand at 1835 pears and 125 apples, according to Southern Pacific figures. "When It appeared something waa sure to happen, I banked sharply to the right and at about the same mo ment the meteor humed out and dis appeared. H Sheridan aald he was unable to say Just how far the meteor missed the plane, hut asld he thought It "barely missed." "When I first noticed the meteor. It apparently was Just entering the stratosphere and It gave off a daw.ling blue-white light that blinded me." Sheridan said. "As It came closer. It Inst Its brilliance until at the time it reached the altitude at which I ,a flying. It wan Jus".

(P, Horace M. Manning, charged with the first degree murder of Ralph Horan, state, representative, was reported 111 in his cell at the county Jail this morning. The noted criminal attorney was believed suffering from shot' and nervous strain. No time has been set for his pre liminary hearing in . the justice of peace court. Defense attorneys said they would continue the case on the theory that Manning shot his former law partner In self-defense. The prosecution hopes to prove Manning fired both the shots coming from hla own gun and from the one found in Koran's hand. O. E. Helnrich, California criminol ogist, continued his investigations for the state today. Already rumors of a change of venue have been heard, should Man ning be indicted by the grand Jury. If a change Is granted. It la believed the prosecution will oppose a shift to Medford. Inasmuch as one of the de fense attorneys, George Roberts, is from that city. Roseburg and Lakeview have been suggested as possible locations for the trial. It Is believed, too. that Judge Wil liam M. Duncan of Klamath Falls will disqualify himself should the case reach trial. Both Horan and Man ning practiced before him and he knew them personally for many years.

( AP) The house of representatives will pass the 258.000.000 tax bill Tuesday. This was decided today before that branch Joined the aenate in recess over the week-end. With acceptance of the ways and means committee measure already foregone conclusion, any last possible doubt wan smothered by formal Re publican description of it as "non psrtlaaiV' Committee preparation for the stock . exchange control bill progressed, j meanwhile, with Thomas Corcoran I of the RFC lepal staff one of Its drafters saying it is primarily aimed to prevent speculation on the part or the "little fellow who doesn't know what It Is all about and frequently gets royally burned." Interior nill to Conference. i The $32,382,429 interior department supply bill went to conference be tween house and senate for adjust ment of differences. To the house labor committee. Sec retary Perkins endorsed a proposal for a resolution by congress express ing the sentiment that NRA codes should move to a shorter work week than the present 40-hour average. The administration concentrated today on paring workers off the fed eral payroll with one hand and trying with the other to make private In dustry need them. Orders went out for the CWA to drop 400.000 February 23 In addition to the 200.000 already sliced from the rolls. Credit expansion plans are relied on to provide more Industrial Jobs. Bunk Credit Wanted. A four-pronged approach, sanction ed by President Roosevelt, may result In establishment of a special bank chain to undertake capital flnanclnn for little Industries that get nods of "no from present banks. The treasury, NRA. RFC and the federal reserve board are the four at work. In that connection, too, the reserve board's well-known economist, E. A.

SEEK RE-ELECTION George Dunn of Ashland, farmer banker and pioneer citizen, today an nounced that he would file for re election at the Republican primaty. May 17 next. Senator Dunn has held the post for eight years, and Is recognized through out the state as one of the legislative leaders, and constructive and con servative member of that body. Al though at first inclined to retire from political office, friends In Jackson county, particularly in the south end. prevailed upon him the past week to seek re-election. He has long been a figure In the business and agricultural life of th.s county. A number of years ago he was county Judge. Victor Burscll of the Central Point district, farmer, and for 12 years comity commissioner, has filed for the same post, on the Republican ticket. Bursell states he will "abide by the will of the people." regarding the school relief sales tax. William N. (Farmer Bill) Carl of the Applegate may enter the legisla tive race, but la still undecided whether It will be for the lower or the upper house. The Democrats, feeling this la their year, are scouting for a senatorial can didate. Several "Young Democrat" are willing to make the sacrifice, but the party leaders want a man with year, snd who ha not been worked over by the voters, when Democrats were .scarce. For the lower house of the legisla ture, it la expected that A. E. Brock way of Jacksonville, granger, appoint ed by Oovemor Meier, will aeek elec tion, but his mate. Olenn O, Taylor, ha stated mildly that going to Stlem again holds no great charm. If he runs, It will be as a matter of duty, rather than hla own Inclination.

(AP) The rising trend In trade and business volume continues without abatement, and "sporndic Instances of improve ment now are Riving way to proofs of a more definite general revival," said the weekly Dun & Bradstrcct trnde review today. Borne of the gains as compared wlt.h a year ago "reach nearly atag gerlng percentages," the review as serted, pointing out that this time a year ago "the nadir of the past century had been touched by nearly all branches of commercial and In dustrial activity." "The high level to which both mercantile anQ manufacturing busi ness has been utted," continued the review, "was revealed by reports from all sections of the country this week, which brought a unanimity of ex pression Indicating continued Im provement. "With some moderation of the sub-itero temperatures of a week earlier, which slowed down transac tions In the agricultural district, re tail sales pushed ahead boldly, as the larger Industrial payrolls offset the layoffs of the CWA. "In consumptive goods, such as foods, wearing apparel, shoes and millinery, demand Is widening rap idly, with prospects now more as sured that In both tcxttles and shoes the spring business will exceed that of the past four or five years. "The more moderate temperatures and the favorable weather prevailing on Lincoln's birthday brought out the largest crowds that retail stores have held since Christmas. Sales on both last Saturday and Monday near ly equalled the total of the best days during the December shopping period." The Medford Production Credit as sociation, embracing Coos, Curry, Josephine, Douglas and Jackson coun ties, was formed yesterday, after an all -day session In the courthouse auditorium. Col.
