Highest yesterday .., '8 lowest this morning mm i EE As ANNE WHITEAKER j WILL BE HONORED i SHU IN REGAL RUES: By PAUL MALLON. WASHINGTON. D. O.. June . The big figure at the republican reunion In Chicago wilt not be Mr. Hoover. Mr. Sanders, Og den MU1 or any other of the pub licized figures of the party. It will be a barely mention , ed elderly gentle man who hates publicity Mr. Charles D. Hllles of New York:. Mr. Hllles has been found asleep at very few political Paul Mallon switches during the last 20 years. He knows how to make the trains go the way he wants them without get ting out In the middle of the tracks with a red flag. Some months ago Mr. Hllles bought an extra supply of stamps and began writing letters around the country. His Innocent purpose was to get the views of national committeemen and women about a new national chair man and other party matters. He wrote to Mrs. Whosls on the Pacific coast and when he received her reply he wrote to Mr. Whatsit In New Eng land and said Mrs. Whosls believed such and such should be done. Soon be had established a mutual correspondence understanding with nearly every national committeeman and woman. You can readily see where that put Mr. Hllles right In the middle of everything. This state of affairs was discovered by the party inaldera when they started out a few weeks ago to or ganize the national committee for election of a successor to Sanders. They found Mr. Hllles played his game carefully, as he always does. He had no candidate of his own. At least, ,no one was ever able to find out that he had one. But he ex pressed In his correspondence some very vigorous views about who should not be chairman of the national committee. In short, Mr. Hllles turned thumbs down on about half a dozen aspi rants who were trying to get support from committee members. In this (nearly everyone seems to agree) Mr. Hllles had no personal feelings, but was working for the best interest of the party. . Some of those he turned down would be notorious misfit In the ex isting party situation. Some of the readers of Mr. Hllles mind have an Idea he ' would be pleased by the selection of either West Virginia Committeeman Halla nsn or Henry Fletcher of Pennsyl vania. Both fit the requirements of money and common sense, although they lack a publicity value which would go well with the Job. Also, three dark horses are sup posed to have bobbed up In Mr. Hll les' corresponce. One is from Illinois another from Nebraska arid a third Is supposed to be from Missouri. Their names have not been mentioned publicly. It Is too early for anyone except re publican politicians to talk about presidential candidates for 1030. but they talk a good deal about It In an offhand way. Coming to the fore In their discus sions la senator Arthur Vandenburg of Michigan. He Is one of the young turks who did not like the way things were going under the Hoover regime. There Is nothing In his senate votes which would label him as either a radical or conservative. Ho gets along with liberal Senator Couzena as well as the conservative wing of the party. He la young, makes a good appear ance and Is a sharp campaigner. Un questionably he will be a leading candidate. The textile mills are not excited about the threat of a strike. They have been begging the NRA to cut down their production schedule 40 per cent for the next three months because they are heavily over-pro- duced. A 30 to 60-day strike layoff would fit In with their production plans fairly well. Under NRA guidance the mills could keep running on a low-production schedule, sharing what work there Is. As one of the NRA officials put it, that outfit Is rapidly develop ing from a share-the-work movement into a share -the -no-work program. One of the main troubles about getting a good man for the republl- i can national chairmanship now l thst he probably will be tossed out j two years hence when the prealden- j tlal nominee takea charge. You have to have a cold to under stand the pun of an eminent Wash ington news man. who contends the ! NRA had a Darrow escape. (Continued on Page Pour) SALEM, June 4. (API A. H.

Coronation at Fairground One of Highlights On Cele bration Program Pro fessor Vining to Speak Oregon's royalty will be honored tonight at the county fairgrounds at 8 o'clock. Regal splendor will sur round one of the most impressive coronations ever known In the crown ing of Anne Whlteaker, Eugene pio neer, as the Queen Mother of Oregon's Diamond Jubilee celebration. The Queen Mother la not of the royalty of old Europe, but her title Is more significant than all royal titles the world has ever known, be- Anne Whlteaker. speaking simple truths, of hardships of pioneer women who came west when .Oregon was still a wilderness. of courageous women who reared families In the face of discouraging odds, of determination to leave com fortable homes In the east and spend weeks on the covered wagon trail and with their heroic husbands settle a new country, building homes where white men had never lived before. Heritage Lives. A priceless heritage of pioneer hero ism has lived through the years since stirring times when Indians were on paths of war In resentment to the invasion of the pale face. Without the many conveniences of present day life, they found happiness In their struggle for existence In a region where even Nature dared them to live on In the face of conditions so In contrast to the contentment of family circles they left to start life anew. All of this, and more, will be re called In the coronation ceremonies of the Queen Mother. She will ar rive by stage coach to take her place on Oregon's throne of pioneer woman hood and will be welcomed at the base of Its steps by Prof. Irving B. Vining, one of Oregon's best known orators (Continued on Page Seven) For 57 years Charles W.

DAY IS NEEDED TODAY Secy, of Agriculture Opens Diamond Jubilee With In spiring Address at Fair ground Before Big Crowd The prosperity of tomorrow, "which may be the most astounding In the history of the land," la dependent upon the "New Pioneer," whose ac complishments may be aa significant those of the pioneers, who came Into the Oregon country 75 years ago "If certain changes are made In minds and hearts." With these words Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace, here from Washington, D. C, summarized the "entirely new ehal- Henry A. Wallace. ' lenge" to be spread out before the American people, In his address before. 3000 guests at Oregon's Diamond Jubilee, gathered at the fairgrounds yesterday. Speaking In clear and inspiring language, reflecting a thorough un derstandlng of liberal economics and a sympathy for the agrlculturlat, which has not resorted to aentl mentallsm, Secretary Wallace defined, the crying need as one of "pioneer ing of mind." Obvious Pioneer Is Gone, "The obvious pioneer Is gone," he told his Interested audience, gathered beneath sunny skies, which returned for Oregon's birthday party. "Th new pioneering lnvolvea learning to get along with each other. You peo ple In the west," he suggested, "may eventually dlecover the truths of thla new pioneering before the rest of the country, not because you are any less the rugged individuals, but because of the nature of your problems. "The great difficulty of the New Deal is this: While there are plenty of hard working folks down In Waah Ington, whose hearts are beating In the right place, who are working day and night, there la not sufficient understanding among the rank and file of the pcoplo to know what ws want or where we are going. We musl not only make a decision of whether we are going national or International minded, but must decide our motive of business and agricultural life." Must Decide Problems. Turning to the agricultural crop reduction program, adopted to meet the recent emergency, Secretary WaN lace again emphasized the necessity for American people to think out their problems, "It Is up to them to (Continued on Page Eight) Will ROGER?
