BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1934. PAGE SEVEN 70 ON BASKET US! Seventy families, numbering mcrf than 350 Individuals, have to far been accepted by the Salvation Army for their Christmas baakft list. . avl namea continued to come In today. The telephone buzwd ateadlly. vari ous citizens having located another needy family while others, filling with the Christmas spirit of giving, phoned to make donations of supplies. Seventy-five basKeta have already been filled end are awslting only the addition of perishables, such as meat, butter, etc.. before delivery next Mon day. As new names are turned In, other baskets will be filled and pie pared for delivery, and Captain Dur ham Is emphatic in Ills statement that the Salvation Army will not pel mlt any really deserving family to go without a Christmas basket. Namea will be received up until next Monday evening and although the majority of the bags will be de livered on Christmas Eve, the Salva tion Army Is prepared to deliver aom baskets on Christmas day, providing names are sent In too late for de livery on Monday. The filling of the Chrlatmaa bass of the Salvation Army is somewhat of a modern day miracle. Without any funds Bet aside for thia purpose and without knowing from where the money for the purchase of supplies will come, the Army each year an nounces that It will care for every needy family brought to its attention. Without any special solicitation of funds, other than through the kettles on the street, money Is always forth coming, and it Is many a year alritC citizens of the community have fai.ei! to provide sufficient to fill the baga. Captain Durham reporta that con tribution through the Christmas ket tles have exceeded those of last yoat by a few dollars. The kettles will be on the street tomorrow and Mon day, and It Is hoped that they will be "kept boiling" right up until Mond.iy evening. Contributions of vegetables are needed quite badly. Po ntoes, carrots, squash or any other fresh vegetables will be greatly appreciated. Anyone having these, or other supplies, to give, may telephone 356. and & car will be sent to pick '.hem up. Due to the fact that many otnor organizations are providing toys and a Chrlatmaa tree for poor kiddles, the Salvation Army will not have a Christmas tree thla year, but any poor children brought to their at tention and who are not being pr Tided for In any other way, will be given toys and other Christmas cheer such as candy, nuts, fruit, etc. PLAN NRA LABOR CODE IN CASE OF (Continued from page one.)

In fact, they had bowed down around Santa's ankles when Mrs. Santa dashed to tbe rescue and re panted him. 7 OF FLYING HOTEL (Continued from page one.) support a post-war embargo on dyes. In a statement. Pierre DuPont, mu nitions manufacturer, advocated a ' study by the wisest minds" to devise practicable plan to take excess profit out of war. 1 DuPont old the Associated Press: "There Is a popular demand that In event of another war the Indus tries of our country should be mobil ized to serve the nation's need with out excessive compensation. I be lieve that this Is both sound and Just. The DuPont company has al ready gone on record aa favoring the elimination of excess profits In time of war. Must Regulate All 'The soundness of the principle must be supported by an equal sound ness In the practice. The regula tion of wartime profits must apply to every business and every individ ual. . It must not impair the effi ciency, productivity and inventive ness of American Industry. We shall require more from our industry rath er than less In a military emergency. "The development of such a plan will, therefore, require exhaustive study by the wisest minds in busi ness, finance, military affairs and government. By undertaking this study now a solution can be devised which' will avoid hasty and ineffi cient measures later. Peaco Troducts Rise In War "In the last war the prices which soared the highest were not the war product like munitions, but the peace products of wheat, cotton and the like, especially those relating to the food and clothing supply. "The recapture of elimination of profits on agricultural products In excess of peace time earnings will be difficult to regulate. I cit these merely as one of the difficulties which legislation will have to consider. "It must be remembered that dur ing the war the needs of national defense are paramount to any other consideration production must be stimulated, not curtained. "Should war emergency again arise we should be ready for it." Huge Ice Palace Planned MONTREAL. Que. (UP) Construe tion of a huge Ice palace at the foot of Mount Royal is being plan ned by city officials. The "palace." which, it Is hoped, will provide i tourist attraction, will be construct ed by unemployed men. Wireless Operator C. VnnZadelhogg. Although the exact cause of the tragedy was not known, air officials here expressed belief It had been struck by lightning. The last radio message from the doomed craft, re ceived early yesterday, said It was In difficulty during a storm near Rut ba Wells and asked Us position. More than a score of British planes and armored cara had been pressed Into a hunt for the liner. Unaware of the fate which had overtaken their countrymen, two vet eran Dutch pilots hopped off from Amsterdam this morning to aid in the search. They were O. J. Reysen dorfer, who was pilot for the late Van Lear Black, Baltimore, Md., pub lisher, and Commander SUlevis. Exactly one month ago today 30, 000 persons cheered "the flying ho tel" when it returned to Amsterdam after winning the handicap race in the Melbourne derby. Its pilots on that flight, K. D. Par mentler and J. J. Moll, were honored by Queen Wllhelmlna. The plane was second in the derby. Representatives of the Dutch Royal Air lines and of the British Imperial airways left Baghdad by air for the scene of the accident, 250 miles away, to Investigate. The scene of the crash, midway be tween the coast of Palestine and Baghdad, is a desolate one. Sharp ridges rise out of great stretches of sandy desert, criss-crossed by narrow gorges which make a forced landing almost certain death. Heavy rains, which had hindered the land search, made a landing doubly dangerous. Pilots of the ship had hoped to reach Batavla In time to deliver Christmas mail and presents to col onists. They sought to make the flight In five days, establishing a record. The plane left Cairo a few hours before the crash. two later, killed two unlicensed dogs as they started a raid. It costs Jackson county close to $1000 yearly, to pay the claims of sheep killed by dogs. Thft sheep-killing by dogs the past four months haa been more extensive than In previous years. Sheepmen have guarded their flocks and a number of dogs have been slain. Dog-owners claim, that coyotes are to blame for the raids. Sheepmen claim that a coyote operates In hill areas, almost exclusively, and seldom comes onto the floor of the valley. Police dogs, and doga with strains of that breed, are also blamed. It Is claimed that once a dog kills a sheep, he never haa any other object in life, but to be a sheep-killer.

' "Of course, many of the plants there are municipal plants which have been partially amortized, mak- , ing low rates possible. We don't ex- pect consumer costs will get as low ' as Canada's for some time." He said that rate reduction through loans to " municipalities to build , plants Is "one of the results hoped for." City Rates Too HlRh. He would not name the cities where rates are regarded as too high, but he said: "1 think that analysis will show that the rates in most of the larger : cities are excessive." Secretary Ickes said he was told : Mayor La Guardla would Immediately : begin rounding up his plans fcr a municipal plant for formal presenta tlon to PWA. j Senator Dickinson (R.. Iowa) as- , uerted that if PWA lent money to New York for such a purpose it would be exceeding its function. j "There Is a public service commls- ' sion In New York," he said. "If the I rates are too high why doesn't the j commission adjust them? Why did j not the public service commission I act when President Roosevelt was governor?" SHEEP KILLING COSTLY FOR D. A.

Britain to Probe Also Ths multlon Investigate Joyfully received word of the appointment of a British commission to Inquire into the activities of English munitions companies. 1 ' Committee members unanimously expressed the hope the British In quiry would be "bona fide'' and not a -whitewash." The former chairman of the war Industries board recounted for the commute the difficulties encountered during the last war In obtaining tin for war and industrial purposea. "If we want to prepare ouraelvea lrom the standpoint of a atrateglc Dosltlon," Baruch asserted, "I think we ought to buy tin Just like we I invest In a battleship and keep it In j torage." Baruch haa been appointed by President Roosevelt as head of a com- , mlttee to draw up legislation to take the profit out of war. j Chairman McReynoldl (D., Tenn.) j recalled suggestions that the United i States accept tin in payment of war debta, and asked Baruch's reaction. Tin for Debts "By taking tin for debts, I think j we would be helping things." Baruch j answered. j Meanwhile. Chairman Nye of the munitions commltwe said a letter by I John R. Raskob, placed In evidence j yesterday, ahowed the Inspiration f or organization of the American Liberty j league. Nye referred to a letter written last month by the former chairman of the Democratic national commit tee to a friend who had protested against the trend of the Roosevelt administration. Raskob. in the letter to R. R. M. Carpenter retired DuPont vice president, said: "You haven't much to do and I know of no one that could better take the lead In trying to Induce the DuPont and General Motors groups, followed by other big Industrlea. to definitely organize to protect society from the suffering which la bound to endure If we allow communistic ele ments to lead the people to believe that are business men are crooks, not to be trusted, and that no one should be allowed to get rich.
