N&s B ERA TO SUPPLANT
BjBkl CWA ON APRIL 1ST
Mm.) ANNOUNCEMENT
Rv Paul Mallon
(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon)
Heat Wave
WASHINGTON, March 19. The
moat atartllng Indictments are yet
to come. Insldera have been told to
hold their breath lor three new onea
to be announced within a few daya.
These Indictments are Bald to In
volve two nationally known financial
men and a very prominent Repub
lican, all or whom have had banking
'troubles together.
The case has been worked up very
quietly by the Justice department's
punishment squad. The squad mem
bers believe the Indictments are cer
tain. .
Tf fh InrfiM.mpntjt rin come the
accused trio will be fully competent
financially ana ponucauy w oi"ts
with the Mellon-Lamont-Walker-Sldlo
Income tax quartet.
It looks like a hot spring, espec
ially for Republicans.
Hllrer
Certain prominent Democrats may
feel that heat also u Treasury aecre-
tirv Mnwrenlhftll turns his silver
speculation data over to Prosecutor
Pecora for public Inquiry. There Is
also another stock market matter
which may come out soon, causing
other Democrats to perspire freely.
, The decision in the silver matter
Is supposed to rest on the question
whether Mr. Morgenthau's data Is
sufficiently conclusive to warrant a
public exposure. There seems, to be
no ground for any auaplcltlon that
political considerations are holding
the matter back. It has gone too far
for that.
The silver cloud will probably have
a dark lining.
Advocates
The reason the Young Anthony ad
vocates are called that Is:
There are a clannish group of ex
ceptionally able young barristers who
are advocates by nature. They , are
not merely lawyers, Judging and pre
paring legal conccptlona, but aklllful
workera for strong reform principles.
Prom the master of their school,
Felix Frankfurt, they have absorbed
such zeal that they are content to
work In obscurity in the government
service for a pittance in order to
accomplish their reform objectives.
In old English playa each mem
ber of the cast waa named for the
character he portrayed. The vllllan
was called "Mr. Snake," the laggard
"Mr. Sloth," the hero "Mr. Hand
some," the barrister "Mr. Advocate."
The Anthony part of It stands for
purity.
Balm
These wholesale resignations from
the Democratic national committee
are not as Important as they sound.
There Is a rule In the national
committee that resigned members
serve until their successors are
chosen. Dp to now only one suc
cessor has been chosen, and that
one for Innocent Frank Walker, who
1 resigned the treasurership.
' Also there Is quite a question
whether the Influence of any Im
portant committeeman la altered by
resignation. For Instance, the law
business of Arthur Mullen and his
political power In Nebraska will
hardly be changed much by his res
ignation. His successor probablly will
be a Mullen man.
The root of the matter seems to
be that the house-cleaning waa
started by the president to get one
particular Individual out of tne
house. When that was accomplished,
the administration was satisfied but
outsiders set up such a howl that
the house-cleaning had to be car
ried through to a rather meaning
less conclusion.
Strike?
h The soothsayers ale betting there
will not be an automobile strike.
Thcv smile at the aire threat go
ing i a :k and forth between the ln-
dustry and the A. F. of h.
' The Industry Is In the midst of
spring production. Its best time of
year. A strike would be very costly.
It may talk big. but It will ao every
thing reasonably possible to avoid
a strike.
From that standpoint the Urn la
opportune for labor, but otherwise
It Is not. Public opinion Is the moat
powerful weapon that labor baa In
strikes. But popular opinion wilt
hardly support a voluntary spread
of unemployment now. The govern
ment likewise may not support It,
as It Is now already contributing to
the livelihood of about ona out of
every six or seven persons In the
country.
The matter la expected to do re
ferred and referred, first to boards
and then to votes of employes and
then to aomeone else.
Ralls
The railroad code situation smacks
of aomewhat the same Inner con
dition. As soon as the rallroada agree
not to press their demands for a
15 per cent wage cut, there will be
less talk about getting them In un
der a code.

There Is a new high official In
the NRA who waa one of the orUt
Inal technocracy boys. They were the
ones, you may remember, who got
lot of attention two years ago with
their Idea or a nw super-state. The
Three-Point Program For
Oreaon Will Take Over
All Desirable Unfinished
Local And State Projects.
PORTLAND, March 19. Bur
ton E. Palmer of Portland will be the
engineer in charge- of the work pro
jects for Oregon In the federal emerg
ency program which will supplant the
CWA work April 1.
The announcement was made today
by Elmer R. Goudy, state ERA ad
ministrator. Eligibility for employment on any
of the ERA projects will be based
primarily on necessity. Palmer will
favor projects for public Improvement
that spring from communities, rather
than from city or county administra
tions, he said.
He has requested that letters sketch
ing the community needs be sent to
his planning office at ,522 Spalding
building, Portland, instead of through
personal applications by delegations.
A crew of nine engineers has been
dispatched over the state to com
plete a study of airport network In
Oregon.
PORTLAND. March IS. A new
three-point program for relief work
will supplant the Civil Works ad
ministration in Oregon on April 1. It
will be known as the ERA. the emerg
ency relief administration.
On March 31 the CWA will be sus
pended, Elmer R. Goudy. newly ap
pointed state emergency relief admin
istrator, said after receipt of Instruc
tions from Harry L. Hopkins, national
administrator.
"Work divisions will be organized
by the emergency relief administra
tion," Goudy said. "All desirable local
and state civil works projects in op
eration at the close of March may be
transferred to the work divisions of
the emergency relief administrations,
"All civil works accounts, , project
records, and all other records will be
completed to the date of suspension
and closed out In full detail."
The new program of work will be
carried out in towns having a popu
lation of more than 3,000, and in
counties or other suodlvtslons deter
mined by the relief administrations to
be predominantly urbane or Indus
trial.
Goudy said persons employed by
ERA will be selected on the basis of
need. Women shall receive equal con
sideration with needy men.
"It will be the policy of the ERA
to Include in its monthly grants of
funds to the various states funds for
prosecution of the work program,
Goudy continued, and these grants
shall be used to provide employment
only for persons in need of relief.

He denied, however, that 'the ex

"It is a case of natural expansion
tending toward collaboration between
Italy and the people of Africa and
of the Near East.
"The historical objectives of Italy

GALE, GANGSTERS
ATHENS, March 10. (AP) Samuel
InBUll Sr., erstwhile giant of Ameri
can public utilities, cruised a storm
swept Mediterranean today in a
tramp freighter.
His friends here said the very life
of the 74-year-old man was endan
gered by the violence of the storm,
since Inaull was not a good sailor
even In the days when he occupied
whole suites in the best ocean liners
afloat.
Rumor said the safety of the Chi
cago fugitive also was endangered by
the presence aboard the old freighter
of a group of gangsters who hoped to
hold Insull for ransom.
The presence of gangsters was the
oretical, but there was no question
about the actuality of the storm.
The freighter, the Malotls, was pre
sumed to be about 300 miles off shore
probably cruising a zig sag course
and awaiting instructions from the
shore as to where Insull could head
on his present attempt to escape
United States Justice.
Heal concern was expressed for
Insull 's health, since he claims to be
suffering from heart disease and this
It Is known, is aggravated In his case
by seasickness.

Under Ideal flying conditions,
planes took off on time under tho
new schedule. The service waa

FRUIT PROSPECTS
An unusually bright outlook for
the local fruit Industry, if present
policies of the administration In
Washington, D. O., continue, was fore
cast hera today by Raymond Roter of
the Pinnacle Fruit company in an ad
dress before the Klwanis club at
luncheon at the Hotel Mcdford.
The fruit crop last year wound up
in a "blaze ot glory", Mr. Reter stat
ed, "in advance of the highest expec
tations of local orchard lsts." Govern
ment money, totalling 9350,000, was
loaned in the valley on the fruit. The
first of the year waa marked by cha
otic conditions regarding markets,
particularly export markets. A defin
ite Improvement was noted, however,
the last of November, and It has con
tinued steadily up to tho present
time. Fruit was selling In November
at $1.60 per box, f.o.b. Portland. It
Is now selling for $3.60 and (3.00 per
box, Mr. Reter stated.
It Is necessary that 30 per cent of
the northwestern frwt crop be ex
ported to evade flooding the local
market. Devaluation of the dollar.
the speaker pointed out, has had a
tremendous, favorable effect upon tho
fruit market.
The tariff has deprived the north
west of the South American market
for the past two or three years and
measures are now underway to regain
this trade.
The trees In the valley show a
heavy bloom and the outlook pointa
to a very good crop, orchardlsts, Mr,
Reter explained, have to look to two
markets, packed and canned pears
There were five million cases of pears
canned last year. Early Indications
pointed to a swamped market. All
the fruit, It Is now realised, however,
will be moved with no carry over.
The heavy "winter kill" In eastern
areas Is also expected to aid the local
fruit market, Mr, Reter stated, as
news from the cast Indicates a greatly
reduced crop.
Bosc pcara from the Rogue River
valley are now appearing on the mar
ket in a much better and more at
tractive condition than in former
years, a uniform method of ripening
having been devised. As a result the
price has climbed from 91.60 to 93.00
per box.
There la also a big market for Co
mice pears, which U.e tonnagr of the
Rogue valley falls far short of satis
fying, Mr. Reter said. Only about 100
cars of the fruit are now produced.
During the past year the Anjous
have penetrated more markets than hu former sweetheart, Adella Bwe
