There was more fancy soft-shoe foot work backstage on the housing bill than on any other legislation this ses sion. Not even the stock market bill stirred up so much phenog llng. It all cen tered around the stalwart flguro of stonewall Steagall. Mr. SteagaU ! supposed to be the democratic chairman of the house banking committee. There Is no question Paul MaUon about his being chairman, but there la some argument about his being democratic, as far aa this administra tion Is concerned. This leader of financial legislation In the house earned his stonewall title the same way Johnson did. While all the reat have been fleeing before .the advance of the administration, Mr. Steagall has stood there like a stone vail, Impenetrable. At least that la what he did for some weeks after President Roose velt sent the housing bill to congress. The White House prodders got busy on the Inside and prodded Mr. Stea gall Into promising to report the bill At the appointed time Mr. Steagall did. But, lo and behold, the bill Mr. Steegall reported happened to be an entirely different bill. Mr. Roosevelt's prodders were angry that one' of them (an official ' In Prank Walker's division) called news men of Washington Into a press conference. This official spoke very disparag ingly of M. Steagall's committtee. He charged that it had sold out to the building and loan associations, that it had betrayed the administration, etc., etc., etc. . . Someone present suggested that such remarks-were very libelous, ira lesa proved, and would cause an up roar. The official thereupon wisely decided to make his remarks "off-the-record." meaning confidential. That kept them from getting into the newspapers, but they reached tho ears of the banking committee mem bers and the building and loan league. Aa a result, everyone lost his temper: that Is. everyone except Mr. Steagall. He still was giving a good Imitation of a stone wall. The votes taken In Mr. Steagall's committee were not made public. If they had been, they would have prov ed Mr. Steagall's rigidity. Inevery vote taken Mr. Steagall believe it or not stood by the White House. He voted against changes which would give a half billion dol lara In loana to building and loan as sociations. He voted for the adminis tration bill. Only two or three mem bers of his committee did likewise. Mr. Roosevelt's prodders know that, but they refuse to give Mr. Steagall full credit. They noted that hla pils on the committee were all. on the other side, particularly his bosom companion and alter ego, Mr. OoMs borouglv, a democrat from Maryland. Also, thoy complain that Mr. Stea gall haa never before been over thrown by hla committee, at least never by such an overwhelming mar gin as 10 to 3 and U to 4. which were the antl-admlnlatratlon margins on the committee rollcalls.' Furthermore, no 111 feeling seems to exist between Mr. Steagall and his own committee members, who went against him and the administration. The upshot of the thing la that the administration had to exert extreme inside pressure to get Its bill out of the discard. It la supposed to have everything fixed now so that It will get exactly what It wants, finally, after both senate and house have passed the bill, and It goes Into tho hands of a conference committee. Mr. Steagall'a friends are very proud of him They ay the adminis tration Is displeased only because he has the courage of his convictions, which have not happened to coincide with Mr. Roosevelt's convictions on Inflation, and guaranteeing bank de posits. Thev excuse his faithfulness to the administration on the houslrw bill on the ground that he was not in terested In the subject much, one wiy or another. Also, they expect him to get some patronage. To them, Mr. Steagall Is Just a big mUiinderatood man who does n-s care aa long as he can contlnuo to have hla way generally on me ao wu in which he la interested. At any rate, all will concede tht his unfathomable activities have made him the most colorful figure In a Hrah house. The charge that the building and loan league wrote the substitute housing bill, reported to the house. has been forcefullv denied. No one -,n n.nt that the substitute was thoroughly acceptable to them, whll ih. .dminutratlon bill would ruin the profitable second mortgage bus! ncs. . When the new republican national I chairman. Henry P. Fletcher, had hla Dlcturea taken, he posed beneath working out the strategy for the clos ing; of consrre.9. Garnfr la sharp on uch ms'trs.

The Ashland local from Portland was leaving the. Grants Pass station, headed south this morning when an "old gentleman" resting in the rail road yards mentioned to A. Brunken, telegrapher, that there was a bad washout up ahead. The casual word sent Brunken dashing for the S. P. office too late to stop the train. The washout was on a blind curve and a serious wreck might have occurred. but A. B. Babb, farmer, discovered the damage In the meantime and flagged the train at the scene. Extend Old Flume.

By ALAN GOULD Associated rress Sports Editor NEW YORK, June 15. (AP) Re verberating today from the smashing savagery of the most spectacular bat tle of big men in nearly 11 years of ring . history, tho fight world acclaimed a new heavy weight champion of the world Max Adelbert Baer of Califor nia, a curly hair ed wolf of a man who combines a o on t e m p t u ous grin and the stage mannerisms of a movie actor ALAM. GOULD with a killing right hand punch. With magnificent gestures, abso lute disdain for anything his giant foe could do and a sporadic but vl- clou onslaught, Baer stopped the huge but helpless Primo Camera in the eleventh round of a 15-round match before a roaring crowd of 52,- 000 in Madison Square Garden's Long Island bowl, thereby ending the Ital ian's one-year rule at the top of the heap abruptly and bringing the crown back to the United States. Down KIcvcn Times Camera waa knocked down no less than eleven times from the force of Baer's smashing blows before Referee Arthur Donovan stopped the one sided affair, with only 44 seconds to go in the eleventh round, and award ed the verdict to the broad-shouldered, 25-year-old American on a technical knockout. The giant 263-pound Italian was still on his feet at the finish, after bravely trying to continue against odds that he knew were overwhelm ing against him, but he was a bloody, reeling wreck of a fighting man and he was muttering "Finl finl I" In utter helplessness when the referee decided finally to halt the slaughter. Camera was knocked down three times within the first minute of fighting as Baer loosed a succession of long, dynamite-laden right hands to the head, followed by bruising lefts to the body. The Italian was down three times again In the sec ond round, with Baer rolling on top of him as they waged the wildest kind of a mclec. For the seventh time in three rounds, the giant Ital ian was flopped to his haunches In the third, still too bewildered to take anything like a count and recover his wits. He rallied bravely for the next few rounds but in the eighth he sprawled full-length to the floor from the force of an Ineffectual lunge.

(P) The problems of stream pollution, fish culture, restoration of wild lift and federal control of migratory wat crfowl were discussed at the confer ence here today of game and flth commissioners from the western states. A constant educational campaign for the cleansing of streams was ur ed by William L. Flnley of Portland a member of the federal advisory board. He said existing laws covering stream pollution are effective became public sentiment is too loosely knit to demand such enforcement. A novel method of preventing the loss of fish In Irrigation districts was recommended by Roland G. Parvin, game and fish commissioner of Colo rado. It consists, he explained, of placing a small pine tree at the In take or the ditch.

W. Aldrlch, head of the Medford Federal Experi ment orchard, and Robert K. Norrl. pathologist of the Pinnacle Packing company, with 25 orchards under hla supervision Reports that "black blight" waa prevalent here were denied, by both authorities who said they had "never heard of it before." Dr. Aldrlch stated that blight con ditions were rapidly being checked, and due to lack of orchard care was slightly more extensive than in pre vious years. Dr. Aldrlch said that the warm weather had aided In the con trol, and that the final clean-up now underway would see Its finish, Norrls said also that the blight would have no material effect on the crop, which he estimated at "3000 cars, a slight Increase over last year Norrls further declared that tho commercial orchards in the central and southern districts of the Rogue river valley, had little blight trouble due to scientific care, but orchards in the northern portion had suffered The blight was moat severe, Norrls said, In "orchards that have been neg lected the past three years."

A) Pear blight, which developed this spring in this section of the Rogue river vai ley with a virulence beyond several preceding years, will leave orchards with a curtailed crop, growers said here today. ..' Their estimates ran from one-tenth to one-third of a full crop. However Uiey said, rarely do they get a full crop. The pears which mature on the trees pruned for blight or other caus es are usually of a higher quality than those which have numerous un developed fruit. Pruning this year has cut back many trees nearly to stumps, wltn several growers saying trees are sec back two or three years' growth FLY BLUE EAGLE WASHINGTON, June 15. (AP) Companies which are conforming with NRA regulations, but which have not signed an NRA code, may now fly the blue eagle. Thus code authorities may not withhold the blue eagle emblem from those companies which, although In "bad standing" with the NRA, have not been proved violators of the code, As an example, the Ford Motor company claims to be adhering to all NRA provisions, although It has not signed a- code. NRA officials pointed out, however, that the rul ing would not make It possible for Ford to obtain government ion tracts, inasmuch aa a clear-cut assent and pledge of continuous compliance with the code still is required of all bid ders for government buslnsse.

(UP) A motion plcturo career waa held open to Max Baer, the Jjivermore lover, for his defeat of Prima Camera for the heavyweight boxing crown laat night. Two studios have signified a wil lingness to offer the modest oham- ulon leading roles In pictures. Heads of neither studio, howover, would be quoted on their offers, explaining It waa "bad business" to start open bidding for the budding star. Max'a Initial appearance in pic tures for Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer, found critics warm In his praise as an actor. " But he left a dark-brown taat In tha mouths of those who worked with him. "If that guy comes back to thla lot, they'll have to enlarge the front gate to fit his head," Is the way ono actor put it. The film people didn't take at all kindly to his kidding. He would chirp, "Hollo, baby." the first time he met Joan Crawford. Ho hoisted Lupe Valez bodily from the floor on their first mcotlng and precipitated a near battle. "You better not do that," exploded Lupe, better known as the "Mexican firecracker." 'I'll tell Johnny. "Who the heck Is Johnny?" re torted Baer with the smile. "He's Just a swimmer." Fortunately, John ny Welssmuller wasn't there. Joan Harlow, with a touch of Irri tation, refused to comment on the fight, although she earlier had ex pressed to friends the hope "Car nera will knock hla block off." The Irritation waa due to the fact that Baer's name had been coupled romantically with hers; some said the report waa started by Baer him self, although he waa married to Dorothy Dunbar, Jcnn was married a short time Inter, and the name "Bnor" has since been an anthema to her. W. 8. Van Dyke, director, was one of the biggest winners on the fight. He had bet 13800 on Baer, and found almoat everyone on the lot willing to bet against his selection. DYNAMITE BLAST ROSBBURO.
