Bretherton, executive assistant to Edgar Freed state NRA compliance director, and C. C. Carlson, field adjuster, were in Medford on Thursday, as part of a statewide survey of NRA conditions, it was learned today. Bretherton and Carlson conferred with civic leadera and members of local retail code authorities during their stay here. Conferences were arranged with members of the original volunteer NRA commltttss who were active in the first organisation ol the NRA. Facts ascertained in the survey will be the basis of a report for use in setting up a compliance adjustment system to make possible speedier and more effective investigation of all al leged instances of cede violation. Ten tative plans call for regular visits here by field adjusters traveling out ot Portland headquarters of the state ocmpllance office. These adjusters will receive complaints and will in vestigate all reported vlclations. It was also indicated that Brether ton is laying the foundation for a county-wide clean-up" of code vio lators In this area. Plans for such a drive to secure one hundred per cent compliance were discussed at the Informal conferences while the NRA officials were In town. The federal officers were not per mitted to remain long enough on this trip to Investigate pending local com plaints, it was announced. Only the most cases requiring Immediate at tention were Investigated. Carlson handled those local complaints of long standing which require summary In vestigation. However, this trip was devoted largely to a survey of condi tions, while the actual compliance work will be undertaken in subse quent visits of field adjusters. Carlson and Bretherton left for Grants Pass to complete their survey. TEN STATE WORKERS SALEM, Oct. 5.

(UP) National honoroary fraternities were "put on the spot" last night by Pres ident George W. Peuvy of Oregon State college following a keynote speech to students in which he de clared the organizations must "Justify their existence. We are not convinced that the honorarles are beneficial," Peavy told the assembly. "Oregon State college men and women cannot afford to spend money for hardware which is only used for decorntion."

Philosophy Veteran Head CLEVELAND (UP) Dr. Matoon Monroe Curtis, 70, for 38 years head of the Department of Philosophy In Western Rescrvo University, died here recently. By Alfred nerthlnet United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) Plants, too. are subject to & tanning similar to our sunburn, when they are Irradiated with ultra-violet rays. Dr. Florence E. Meier of Smithsonian Institution's Division of Radiation and Organisms points out that the leaf cells of dif ferent plants undergo a change In color to brown, following a latent period, after they have been irra diated with the ravs. Mlsa Meier, who has been conduc ing experiments with the rays, which are beyond the spectrum range of vis ible light, ha discovered some pecu liar variations In the effects pro duced when the rays differed by merely a few ten-mlllionths of a milli meter. The experiments were carried on using wave lengths of ultra-violet radiation ranging from 3022 to 25U6 Angstroms; one Angstrom, the unit which Is used to measure these wave lengths, is a ten-milllonth of a milli meter. , Her experiments divulged that not only do these ultra-violet rays have lethal effects upon such minute or ganisms as the one-celled plant called algae, but, in addition, she found that the rays differ among themselves In their toxic effects. Identical amounts of some killed more rapidly than others, and smaller amounts of oth ers were required to cause death. Dr. Meier has grouped the responses she obtained In two categories radiotoxlc spectral sensitivity and ra diotoxic virulence. To clarify this, we may consider the relotlve effects of radium paint on a watch-face, cyan ide of potassium, and rattlesnake venom upon a human being. Regard ing sensitivity, each Individual poi son Is capable of causing death, If administered In a sufficient dose. Probably, in order of minimum dos age, says Miss Meier, they would rank: radium, cyanide, snake venom. In or der of toxic virulence, or, in othtv words, time necessary for effect to occur, they would rank: cyanide, snake venom, radium. f SEE KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Oct. 6.

The gross amount derived was 201.000.000. The customers sveraged about 18.500.000 a week. Of the gross amount United States producers received from the exhibi tion of American films on this side $28,500,000, according to figures pre sented to the meeting of the Brltlsn Association Economics Section at its recent meeting In Aberdeen. To determine the total of remit tances abroad for films. S. Rows&n, president of the British Klnemato graph Society, based his calculations upon the amount of entertainment tax collected by the excise depart ment. The government's exchequer actually drew 30,000,000 from film exhibitions. Rowson estimates that tin propor tion of the receipts paid to the dis tributor varies in special cases with in wide limits. It depends largely, he states, upon the bargaining skill of the exhibitor's buying representative and of the renter's salesman. "In no other Industry in the world," he suggests, "not even in the bazaars of the East, is the art of bar gaining exercised with as great skill as in the selling of films." Following a close check on several hundred theaters throughout the country, Rowson discovered that after the deduction of tax, the proportion, paid for films was 33 7 per cent. Tha average price paid for a scat was about 20 cents. LYNDEN. Wash., Oct. 6.
