It anyone asks you how business has been during the last 60 days, don't tell him. Just say that a dlffloult summer ha been made much more diffi cult by the un forseen drouth and strikes and that a September Improvement 1 a now at hand. The extent of the Im provement la Im possible to esti mate accurately but much de- Paul Mnllon pends on how much money the gov eminent is going to spend. The balanced monthly business chert shows the existing situation Tery clearly. Industrial production fell off seven point more than seasonal in July and la off probably two points more in August. Employment declined only half as much as production, but vages felt almost the full measure of the blow. The manufacturers apparently are spreading the smaller amount of work on a part-time basis to ease the ef fect of the decline In employment. But there is also evidence of a little wafie cutting on the side, although you cannot say exactly where. Three Youths in Car Return ing From Dance Also In jured Week-End Black ened by Traffic Accidents Dilllnger Pal Slain Our midsummer decline, therefore, appears to be about 12 to 14 per cent more than seasonal. All lines, except production, are generally at the level of this time last year before the NRA became effective). What knocked down the Industrial production figure most was steel. It has been operating at about 24 per cent of capacity lately. That Is be cause It did most of its midsummer business before July 1, when Increased prices went into effect. - Textiles also lagged under a 25 per cent curtailment agreement, which expired August 25. The inside word is that stocks of finished cotton goods are still unusually high and that the textile manufacturers do not care particularly whether the threatened strike comes off September 1 or not. Lumber has been lust so-so, but automobiles arc holding up remark Ably well. The automobile line la bet ter off today than any other, except nosfilblv tobacco. The automobile price cuts certainly stopped the buy era' strike In that Industry. The ma neuver was so successful that mo&t insiders believe the manufacturers will lop a few more gadgets off their cars next year and maintain existing low prices, if they do not lower them further. With her arm amputated between the elbow and shoulder, Edith Wright, 21. of Central Point Is In a critical condition at the Sacred Heart hos pital, the result of an automobile accident at the Bybee corner early Sunday morning, one of a series of wrecks occurring over the week end. The car in which Miss Wright was riding with three young men turned over several times, throwing her through the windshield. According to Dr. C. T. Sweeney, attending phy sician, additional glass had to be broken to extricate the girl from the wreck ape. Al Davis of Medford was driving a Moon car belonging to his father, Perl Davis, and, according to report, was traveling at too high a rate of speed to make the turn, causing the machine to hurtle over several times before coming to a stop. Davis suf fered cuts and bruises. Two Boys Injured George Haas. 18. also a passenger in the car, is In the hospital with i a serious cut over his right eye, and bruises, while Kenneth Sutherland. 21, also in the car. was taken to the hospital- for treatment to his right arm. Dr. Sweeney said that, although Miss Wright was In a satisfactory condition this morning, she Is by no means out of danger. Miss Wright has been employed at the Sweeney residence as a domestic during the past year. The accident occurred about 1 a. m. Sunday as the four were return ing to Medford from Jacksonville. Several reckless driving arrests were made by officers over the week end, and this mori'.lng Dr. J. S. John son was fined $15 in city court fol lowing his arrest on Main street Sun day afternoon.

(AP) More than (1,000,000,000 is destined to go into the pockets of the nation's farmers through the AAA before the end of 1935. Cotton, tobacco, wheat and corn hog benefit payments will total 779, 402,000 officials estimated today. Of this sum 282,882,619.2 1 had been paid out up to August 25. Of the latter payments, cotton far mers have received the lion's share, 152,510,793. Wheat farmers netted $67,871,951, corn-hog farmers $46, 8 1 5,988, and tobacco growers $15,-773.785. In addition to the (779,402,000 which is being paid out to farmers for controlling production cattle raisers will net about (120,000,000 and sheepmen aproximately (7,500,000 by selling drought-stricken animals to the government. This raises the to tal for farm adjustments close to (1, 000.000.000. The figures do not Include benefit payments under the sugar program which Is still being drafted. These are expected to boost the outlay well above the billion dollar figure. Chester C. Davis, farm adinlnistra. tor, said that about (587,000,000 of the benefit payments would go farmers in emergency and secondary drought areas. They have already received about (150,000,000 of this, Louts H. Bean, economic advisor of the AAA, added that the payments "assure that farmers as a whole will have a larger cash Income In 1934 than In 1933." While production has been reduced, he said, prices are higher. Farmers sharing In the (779,402,000 before the end of 1935 Included: Oregon.

Johnson Deeply Angered At NRA Conference Says Inside Story of Trouble Reconsidered Resignation Only Following Firm Insistance of Roosevelt; Will Be Big Boss Now (Copyright. 1934, by the Associated Press) WASHINOTON, Aug. 37. The deep-seated character of NRA'e latest troubles became apparent today when It was learned that Oeneral Hugh S. Johnson angrily walked out on last Monday's White House confer ence, resigned In writing, and reconsidered only on the tlrm lnslatence of President Roosevelt. The dispute arose over an NRA re organization plan aubmltted to the president by Donald Rlchberg. the NRA counsel, and Prances Perkins, the secretary of labor. Among other things, the plan waa Interpreted by Johnson sa contemplating his own re tirement to private life. General Walks Out The general walked out when Mr. Roosevelt, seeking to sooth the ruf fled spirits of hla conferees, suggested that a decision be postponed while Johnson took a rest and a trip to Europe. The reconciliation, ao far aa John son la concerned, waa consummated Just before Mr. Roosevelt's departure Saturday for Hyde park. Under Its terms Johnson ataya on aa adminis trator and probably will become, later on. chairman of a board controlling NRA. The implications respecting Mr. Rlchberg and Miss Perkins are lew clear. Rlchberg's friends say he will remain the NRA counsel, although there will be no further doubt that Johnson la boas.
