Though the contention at NRA is thla recovery unit la not responslt'e for the change. Senator Borah (R. Idaho) aneerted he would renew ttvj! fight to restore operation of the tntl I truAt laws. "The day of reckoning la comlnj,'" he said. sees Devaluation Need. Senator Thomas (D Okla.) said the figures showed the need for further devaluation of the dollar, while others took them aa indicating the neces rflty for more vigorous prosecution of the administration's recovery efforts. Hinting at some drastic federal ac tion, Senator Wheeler (D., Mont ) said: "If business leaders cannot help la a movement to get a beter distribu tion of Income than this, two years hence they may be looking back on the present administration aa their golden age." Borah said It was "quite evident that thl Is another proof of the pow er of monopoly and that the little fellow la being more and more chis eled out." Sas Monopolies Busy. ' "The monopolies," he added, "are still raking off and gathering In t-.o dimes and quarters of the poor and putting them Into the coffers of the wealthier. , "I have never been able to accept the view of taking from those wr.o have not and giving It to those who have."

Christmas concert presented by the music department of Southern Oregon Normal and Junior College next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, Is planned this season to surpnss any thing as yet attempted, both In the ambitious program of rmlMc offered and In the pageantry of the presen tation. New features Introduced this year are the uniformly robed choir, the processional, nnd the candle-light service. These additions are being Introduced, according to Miss Louise Woodruff, director of music, for what they contribute both1 In pageantry and mood, through their traditional association with the ritual of worship and the spirit of Christmas. A robed choir presents to the Mght a group In harmony Instead of a group of Individuals. The candle-light service. according to Miss Woodruff, producer of the concert, will be modeled some what on the beaut Iful and solemn candle sen-Ices seen In the churches of New York City at Christmas eve or midnight worship. The concert will be introduced by distant trombone choir playing carols, representing the traditional Invisible musicians of Christmas sym boll7lng the song of the '-herald an Rets." Following will come the procession al. To provide a touch, of the ancient Christmas carolers, the choir will carry folto-sl? hymn books, as seen In qunlnt pictures of medieval carol singers. With the exception of two Russian carols, the program Is made entirely of folk songn, all sung In English.

The concert j will be held December 14. in the Elks building at Ashland, under the baton of Ward V. Croft, director. The present season marks the fifth milestone of this organization, unique I to southern Oregon, and comparable in scope and ideals alone to the Med ford Oleemen. The personnel of the orchestra comprises 38 musicians. Mrs. F. Instills Bristol, lyric-soprano of Medford. who is at present studying under tlnmes Stevens of this city, has ben secured ss a special guest artist. She will sing Prelude From Cycle of Life' Names of mon than 40 Medford families have been turned Into the Salvation Army for Christmas bas kets. The Army la preparing to take care of at least 100 families, or more If necessary, and Intends, in co-operation with other organizations giv ing Christmas relief, to see that no Medford family goes hungry on Christmas day. It Is quite evident, from the fol lowing list, that families receiving Salvation Army basket, will have ample for a hearty meal, or serving meals: Bread, 2 loaves; butter, ' pound; beef roast. 4 lbs.: potatoes. 10 lbs.; onions, 3 lbs.; carrots, 5 lbs.; canned vegetable, 1 quart; can ned fruit, 4 gal.; sugar, 3 lbs.; cof fee, 1 lb.; shortening. 1 lb.; apples. 6 lbs.: dry beans, 3 lbs.; rice. 3 lbs.: canned milk. 3 cans: celery, 1 bunch. If other supplies are sent 'In, they, too. will be placed in the baskets. Anyone knowing of a needy fam ily In the community la asked to phone 350, give the name and ad dress to the Salvation Army and. if the case is found worthy, a basket will be given. While there is a mint- mum of red tape, the Army has found In the past that over-generous persons often turn in names of families who are not actually In need and would resent the presentation of a Christmas basket. In order to avoid mistakes of this kind, a call Is always made at the home before the basket Is delivered. The Salvation Army depends on the generosity of Medford citizens to fill the baskets. Not one penny of money given for this purpose goes to any other fund, nor is any of It sent out of the city. Supplies are Just as welcome as cash and anyone having canned fruit, or any of the other supplies being put in the bos kets this year, and wishing to assist with this work may turn them over to the army with full assurance that they will go direct to the needy, according to Captain O. R. Durham, who says: "Call 35S and a car will be sent to receive whatever you wish to give." lex, president and general manager of the Ponttac Motor company.
