WASHINGTON, D. 0., Jun 39.
Most people here suspected an Inner
commotion In the Roosevelt family
elrcle when El
liott signed up
with the aircraft
crowd.
This Is virtu
ally the same
crowd with which
his father, the
president, had so
much trouble
during the air
mall dlsputa. At
least, the holders
of the largest air
mall contract
Paul siauon
etlck In the national aeronautical
chamber of commerce, 01 wmcu
Ordinarily this situation would ap
pear on Ita race to oe eomewnai. em
barrassing to the White House, but It
Is not. Members of the executive
family have worked out a little ar
rangement among themselves which
kaiimtj. win nrevent anv misun
derstandings. It is to the effect that
Elliott may come to the White House
whenever he chooses and stay as long
as he llkee and he may talk with his
father about any subject In the world
RTr.nt aviation. That subject 18
The ssme understanding applies to
son Jamea and the Insurance busi
ness.
There are Inner Indications that the
aircraft lads are a chastened, crowd
politically, at any rate,) since the
airmail flurry... They are doing many
things to establish peaceful relations
with the administration.
Certain aviation companies have
also employed O. Max Gardner, for
mer democratic governor of North
Carolina, now a Washington attorney,
friendly to the administration. He Is
to be the Washington representative
of the aeronautical chamber of com
merce. Some people will call him their
lobbyist.
The main secret about Mr. Gardner's
employment is supposed to be the
contract he has with the chamber.
This has not been made public, and
will not be, but if you see the right
people you can learn that it contains
some very Interesting stipulations as
to what the aircraft boys can and
eannot do In the way of political agi
tation, as long as Mr. Gardner Is their
eounsel.
These stipulations were written Into
the contract because the administra
tion Is still nettled about what It con
sidered the unfair tactics of the big
aviation companies In stirring up
antl-sdmlnlstratlon sentiment during
the airmail fracas.
Tou will recall that Colonel Lind
bergh wrote a few snappy letters to
the president. He will write no more.
The Washington contact system of
the aviation companies la not much
different now than under the Hoover
administration. At that time, certain
companies employed William Dono
van, ex-asslstant attorney-general, as
Washington counsel.
Mr. Hoover's son once was employed
by an aviation company as technical
adviser. There was little public com
motion over those relationships.
Elliott Is the Independent member
of the Roosevelt household. He takes
the position that he cannot' help it
that his father Is president of the
United States. He believes he Is en
titled to make his own way regard
less. He looks upon his air Job as a
good chance to fret started right In
a coming business.
The president was not advised be
forehand of Elliott's Intention to sign
with the aeronautical chamber. He
has neither approved nor disapproved
the Idea.
The president's view is that the
grown members of his fsmily are en
titled to make a living In any way
they choose, as long as they do not
interfere with matters of state. That
applies to the writing activities of
Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Dail, as welt
as to the two sons.
The matter is of more than personal
interest now, in view of the inner
agitation over appointments to the
new air commission under the air
mall bill.
The larger aviation companies, nat
urally, want to get what they con
alder to be the right kind of men ap
pointed to that commission. The army
and navy air corps and the postoffice
groups have some different ideas
about that. The personnel of the new
commission will mean a lot to all
concerned.
The administration is dealing close
ly with former Governor Co of Ohio,
giving htm a long overdue recogni
tion In Ohio political affairs.
It was Co who selected Mr, Roosc-

Pickets at Municipal Termi
nal Gathered In After
Warning to Stay Distance
Tankers Await Orders
PORTLAND, Ore., June 29. (AP)
Nineteen striking longshoremen
were arrested here today on a oharge
of trespassing on private property
after police had warned them re
peatedly to keep off No. 1 slip of
Municipal Terminal No. 4 In the St.
Johns district.
This was the first activity of the
morning as the marine trades strike
went Into Its 52d day at Portland.
There was no immediate Indication
that steamship operators planned to
try to use relief workers In a direct
move to open the strike-bound, port.
The 19 longshoremen arrested to
day were picketing In a boat rented
by the International Longshoremen's
association. Police in a harbor patrol
launch took them In custody, and
took possession of the I. L. A. boat,
a 3 3 -foot cabin cruiser.
While five tankers waited off the
mouth of the Columbia river for
orders to proceed here or to some
other port, the oil shortage in this
district became more acute, and the
shortage or gasoline was said to be
growing alarming.
Although the British grain ship
Hartlepool moved Into a berth at
terminal No. 4 today there was no
Indication of an Immediate attempt
to load her or the Victor City which
has been In berth for several days,
SALEM, June 39. (AP) Any ex
tended continuation of the coast
waterfront strike, particularly as It
pertains to the movement of oil,
gasoline and some other materials
through Portland docks, will result
in a serious hindrance to highway
construction and maintenance oper
ations In Oregon, It was admitted
today by R. H. Baldock, state high
way engineer.
Baldock said the curtailment of
gasoline supplies would be seriously
reflected in decreased gas tax rev
enues, especially If supplies were re
stricted over the Fourth of July holl
day when automobile travel normally
sends motor fuel consumption soar
ing.
BARTLETT OFFER
Pear growers of the Rogue River
valley were reported today aa hold.
lng out for an Increase In the price
of 30 per ton for cannery Bartletts,
offered by cannery representatives
now In the field contacting orchard-
is ts.
No sales have been reported at the
$30 figures, most of the growers wait
ing for an expected "finning" of
the market.
Advices have been received that
Sacramento River valley Bartletts
had been sold at 940 per ton.
Word received by Horticulturist
Lyle P. Wilcox said that California
Bartlett growers had been offered
30 per ton In the Uklah district and
$35 In the Sacramento River district,
with the growers holding out for
higher prices.
Shippers point out that In the
past Sacramento River Bartletts have
brought $10 per ton higher prices
thsn other districts. They could give
no reason for the premium, except
"that poalbly Sacramento River Bart,
lctts might have better canning
quality."

HEAD REINS ON
George McMorran, Eugene
Merchant, Says Reason
for Action Not Clear
Name Successor Tonight
PORTLAND, Ore., June as. (AP)
Governor Meier late today had not
announced his selection of a member
of the Oregon liquor control com
mission to succeed George II. Mc-
Morran of Eugene, chairman, who
last night resigned at the governor'a
request.
Unverified reports persisted that
the choice had narrowed to two men
Ben Chandler of Marsh field and Wil
liam McGUchrlst of Salem.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 39. (AP)1
Wishing his successor "a much hap
pier administration than I have had."
George H. McMorran of Eugene today
had severad his connection with the
Oregon liquor control commission of
which he wss chairman, and Gov
ernor Meier was engaged In confer
ences which were expected to result
in announcement tonight of selection
of a new chairman.
McMorran, in a letter to the gov
ernor last night, said: "Pursuant with
your request, I hand you my resig
nation aa chairman of the Oregon
liquor control commission," and he
added that "your reasons for that
request are not clear."
Wants No nickering
"It Is not my desire," he said, how
ever, "to prolong public bickering
which ultimately might Injure the
successful administration of the Ore
gon liquor control act, in which I
believe."
McMorran and other members of
the liquor commission recently had
accused Governor Meier of "sniping"
at them, in submitting' his resigna
tion, Chairman McMorran observed
that the commission's program had
been successful, "although a carping
mind might pick minor flaws and
find a record of trivial errors."
The retiring chairman took occa
sion, too, to charge that a recent
audit of the liquor administration
had revealed that "the greatest han
dicap of the commission was the
early purchases of stock which could
not be moved."
Holts a Handicap
McMorran added that these pur
chases "were made by a man you In
sisted be placed at the head of the
commission's buying department," He
referred to Aaron Holtz of Portland,
a man Governor Meier is aald to have

HE IS
FOR LEGISLATURE
William N. (Farmer BUI) Carl
Applegate dairyman, announced to
day on his weekly trip to the city, that
he would be an Independent canai
dnte for the legislature In the fall
elections. ,
"Farmer Bill" stated that he would
run on a platform of "common sense,"
"fewer laws," "save Kogue river for
the poor man," "to get away from
domineering corporations," "economy"
and "lower taxes."
Carl ran for the legislature In 1930
nnd was dofoated. His platform then
was In keeping with the "electrlclty-wlthout-cost-to-the-taxpayers,"
a slo
gan that swept Governor Meier Into
office. To date, there has been no
reduction in the electric light rates.
In his present candidacy, Mr. Carl
holds to the theory that the Cali
fornia Oregon Powor company, and
other public utilities, need some more
legislative regulating.
He does not adhere strongly to the
"distribution of wealth" Idea, although
he thinks the distribution could be
more even.
Carl Is a Granger, but favored the
school relief sales tax. Grange leaders
have announced they would like to
see all legislators who favored that
measure defeated at the next elec
tion.
Carl is the first of the local Inde
pendent candidates to come forth
with an announcement.
Regular Democratic nominees for
the legislature from this county are,
for state senator, Attorney E. E. Kelly;
for representatives, A. Moore Hamil
ton and William Grenbremer. Re
publican nominees are Glenn O. Tay
lor and A, E. Brockway. The two
were named by the governor to fill
the vacancies.
Somo Independent candidates for
sheriff are reported In the offing,
and about ready to announce their
Intentions of running.
Carl's announcement Is as follows:
"Farmer Bill of the Applegate an
nounces himself as an Independent
candidate for the legislature. Farmer
Bill says our legislature Is getting
the reputation of being the biggest
gambling den In the state of Oregon,
Our legislators are running hog-wild,
They only pass from 300 to 600 bills
and amendments each session. What
our legislature needs most Is men
with good, plain ordinary common
sense, and I claim to have that.
