JAP FREIGHTER (Continued irom page one.) ported from her wireless man, how ever, aald: "I am alone but present condi tions not so dangerous." From the staccato story told In her meagre messages, sea-going men deduced the stricken freighter lost her rudder In the storm; was being directed by the movement of her propeller, and apparently was hold ing her own. The drama of the ship against ttj sea waa brought vividly Into the warm living rooms ashore after the Japanese freighter told of her radio receiving apparatus being disabled, and asked that she be communi cated with on commercial wave lengths between 300 and 400 meters. Regular broadcasts were Interrupt. ed to assure the surviving members of tbe crew their 808 had been re ceived, and that ships In the vicinity were steaming to give aid. CHEESE OUTPUT SHOWS DECLINE PORTLAND, Deo. 10. (AP) .De creasing output of cheese was sug gested generally In the weekly trade review. Output In practically all sec tions was showing a lose but scarcely aa much as during normal seasons, Absence of price changes waa sug gested by the survey which continued to reflect strength for the smaller packages on account of previous gov ernment purchases. The Portland produce exchange made an almost general advance in the price on butter during the late session, firsts alone being unchanged. While, officially there was no advance In butterfat, actually the fat price advanced lc lb. Greater lay of e.j?ge was again show ing. The bad break In New York price at the weekend rather unset tled conditions here. WRITERS' LEAGUE ENJOYS VISIT OF JAY R. DE SPAIN (By Maude E. Pool.) The unsurpasslng beauty of dn heard melodies, the Intimate whis pering of falling anowflakes, the probability that some day the ear may hear colorsubtle beauties of thought like these, born of the frag ile sensitiveness of a poet's soul, were glimpsed by a Urge group of listen ers gathered at Hotel Medford Sat urday afternoon, when Jay Roderick Do Spa In of Portland, national of ficial of the League of Western Writ ers, addressed trie local chapter. "Study, study, study, what the mod ern writers and critics are doing. If you want to know what poets are doing, read modern poets and notice their work from the standpoint of construction," was the advice of Mr. DeSpaln, one of the best poetry critic of the west. Delving Into the depths of his subject, the speaker 'explained many of the technicalities of produc ing verse, Illustrating his meaning ny reading portions of his own lyric and sonnets. "Poetry Is the language of Indirec tion, using the figure of metonymy. Anything that attracts attention fr-m the thought you are trying to expre3 detracts from the artistry of the poem," the critic said in urging t'.ie poet to develop the use of natural expression. "If you wish to write something you do not cava to be responsible for, put the words In the mouth of a character, aa say the floor aald It." Mr. DeSpaln advised. The spear.- ' er described his method of achieving effect through sound produced by careful selection of words, also ix plalnlng the Introduction and devel opment of climax, attainment of rhythm, and introduction of agita tion. The excellency of thla poet's woik has come partly through striving iir words, phrases, and subject maitr which have not been overworked "Justice has never been written to! death; love has," he aaid. and f rom j that conclusion, he has written an epic of 13,000 line on a conference; between Indian warrJors and the On- j known Soldier In the Happy Hunting I Ground. I Touching briefly on the alma oi; the League of Western Writers, M , DeSpaln said the organization, which j has experienced a normal, steady, growth alnce Its beginning eight years ago, hoped to build up a literature of the west. He expressed the desire that the league would become su: flclently Urge to absorb an edition of a book. Mr. DeSpaln recently met with the Los Angeles and -Sin Francisco chapters, speaking favor ably of their groups. Particularly appropriate for the afternoon program waa the vocal ao.r, "Calling You," by Mrs. R. C Mul holland. The song was composed by Mr. DeSpaln, who received the In spiration while observing waves on the beach. Two violin solos wre given by Miss Dorotny uore. iui Alice Holmbeck accompanied at tne piano. A dinner In honor "of Mr. DeSpiln was given at the hotel in the evening. after which the group went to tho home of Mrs. Atlanta Batch well, Ore gon executive, and president of tlw Medford branch, where further liter ary observation were enjoyed. M" DeSpaln read from "Hymn of Mult nomah," beautiful hand-bound Illu minated edition of his work, which displayed hand decorations. An Il lustrated poem on comparison of m.n and trees by John Cribble also was read by the visiting poet. The even ing was concluded by a whistling solo by Miss Katherlne Grlbble. Mr. DeSpaln also met with the Pen Pushers' organization at the home of Mrs. Louise Hedges, Friday afternoon. Livestock. PORTLAND, pec. 10.
