MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY 1, 1934. PAGE THREE SCHEFFEL NAMED AS COUNTY AIDE Fred W. Scheffel, city euperlnten dent, will represent the roads and highways committee of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of the state highway com mission, to be held In Portland to morrow, It was announced yesterday by A. 8. V. Carpenter, chairman of the chamber's roads and highways committee. Mr. Scheffel will take with him the resolution adopted last week by southern Oregon chambers of com merce regarding the expenditure of funds for primary highways, wherein It Is suggested that these funds be devoted to the Blsklyous. . Ho will also present Medford'a claim for funds from secondary high ways for the Little Butte creek road which will give a direct connection between this city and Klamath Palls. This highway would not only be a great deal shorter, but would afford an opportunity for a greater Inter change of products between Klamath and Jackson county. Cetaln monies have been allocated for municipalities on the main high ways, and in this connection. Mr. Scheffel will also urge that Medford obtain Its share of this allotment. SALEM. June 30. (AP) Delega tions representing virtually every section of the state will appear be fore the state highway commission In Portland Monday to plead their cause for a share of the 3.007.814 appropriated for highway work In Oregon under the Cartwrlgnt mil recentlv naesed by congress. The commission will meet at the public service building for what was believed would be a two-day session to consider the projects upon which the money would be expended. The commission's program Includes many projects, but the purpose of this session Is to determine which should be placed at the top of the list. Bids on one project, the under crossing on the Pacific highway near Ashland, will be opened at the be- ginning of the Monday meeting. The project was expected to cost about 5",000.

NAMING NEW HEAD OF LI PORTLAND, June 30. (AP) Gov ernor Meier today continued to give consideration to trie matter of sel ecting a member of the Oregon liquor control commission to succeed George H. McMorran of Eugene who on Thursday night resigned his post at the governor's request. Declaring he had been too busy to reach a definite decision, the governor said he would appoint a successor to McMorran "In a few days." He still refused to comment on the letter the Eugene man sent him with the resignation or to make a statement as to why the resignation was demanded. , Meanwhile Aaron Holtz, who was temporary organizer for the commis sion, entered the controversy with the declaration that a reference In McMoran's letter to the governor was "Just another attempt to make me 'the goat'," McMorran was told the governor, without naming Holtz, that "a man you insisted be placed at the head of the commission's buying depart ment" was responsible "for early pur chases of stock which could not be moved." The retiring chairman had said that this deal was the only "bad business" venture of which the com mission could be accused. Holtz wrote to McMorran that he was "somewhat shocked to note . . . your statement that the major part of the grief experienced by the Ore gon state liquor control commission was due to the unsatisfactory pur chases originally made for the ac count of the state. The facts of the situation do not bear out the truth of this statement, as . . . fully 90 per cent of the best selling brands on your shelves were arranged for during my short term of employment In the state activity." M&ys I (Conttnuea irom Page One) followed along late, reluctantly, or not at all. The insiders say John son is to be the single exception to the general rule against Indorsing republicans. What to do about the prospect that the prominent socialist, Upton Sinclair, may win the democratic gubernatorial nomination Is another question. The administration does not want to get a socialist label, because there has been too much talk about Roosevelt policies tending toward socialism. . .

(AP) The total- of 30,000 families now being cared for by the Oregon vltef com mittee may possibly be Increased to 50.000 thla winter. This was one of the estimates sub mitted to the committee at Its Fri day meeting here, at which a gen eral relief budget of 91.200.000 was approved for next month. The waterfront strike is affecting every county in Oregon, It was said by Ivan B. White, field Investigator for the federal relief administration, and because of the strike employes in many unrelated lines of work are without Jobs since many mills and factories have shut down because of Inability to ship the finished product or to obtain necessary supplies. About 975,000 of next month's bud get will be used for drilling wells In drought stricken areas in east ern and central Oregon. About $120. 000 will go for the purchase of ma terials. The number of white-collar and skilled employment relief cases will Increase largely if employment con ditions do not materially improve In the next six months. White said. "This is especially true." he observed, "In the up-state counties as the dif ferential between the 7.4 per cent of the up-state population on the relief roll and the 20 per cent In Multnomah county la accounted for in great part by the fact that very few of the artisans are professionally employed are now on the roll.'
