PAGE FIVE REFLECTS RETURN OF BETTER TIES Hot every city on ths coast can boast the excellent laundry service to be had in Med ford. Among lead ers In this field la the Mcdford Do mestic Laundry, which has just com pleted its year-end survey of busi ness done during 1034. The report Is encouraging, both to the company, and to the many peo ple affected, tn that It indicates a trend upward In general business conditions. The company, which employes 23 people In the service department alone, shows a 1934 pay-roll of $16, 000, over $300 per week. This is a twelve and a half per cent Increase over the year before. The laundry was founded In 1907. and was taken over in 1918 by the late Glen R. Fa brick. Upon the death of his father. Glen L. Fabrlck took lip the position of president, the ca pacity in which he now serves. All the steam for the plant is gen erated in the company's own boiler, rvhJch is the ...rcst ynir-r'.unri user of sa -vim st from the local Titrber procViets cmirnnv.

Such pieces as shirts and dresses are ironed on special machines, there being a different machine for each process. The finer parts are finished by hand. As a special accommoda tion, the entire work will be done by hand upon request. One machine, which $10,000 has a eapactty of seven sheets a minute. This machine also does other flat work. Another machine, the only one of Its kind In southern Oregon, brushes the nap of wool blankets back to Its best condition, making the blankets look like new. . The laundry, according to Fab rick, "has no special machine to tear buttons off, or rip collars." In fact, he said, they have remarkably few ac cidents, considering the tremendous volume of the plant. Of the many people employed, sev eral have been with the company for longer than 10 years, all of the ma chine operators being experts in their line. Out-ranking all others in point of service, however, is Lester Warden, the washerman, who has been with the company since 1911, continuous ly except for two and a half years when he saw service in Frnnce dur ing the World war. An interesting feature is the fact that the laundry used to receive over two barrels of men's detachable col lars to clean and starch a day, and now that number has fallen off so rapidly that today they receive less than thirty. In order to assure each person that lie will receive the correct pieces when his order Is returned, an In tricate system is employed, making use of numbered pins, nets, and Identification numbers. Very few pieces have ever been lost, Fabrlck said. The laundry is one of Medford's largest tax-payers, the machinery alone being valued at between $50, 000 and $60,000. tLOCAJLS At Community Hospital Patient today at the Community hospital in clude the following residents of tnls city: M.

Tickets were sold to six hun dred couples. The veterans expressed thanks to the people of Jackson county for the!;- iioUu-.se. Both halls were flllert to capacity. The financial success of the dance makes it pOMible for the Veterans" of Foreign Wars to give their annual Christmas tree again next year, with out calling on the merchants foe aid, and also will assist in their veterans relief program, for this coming year. on Monday, each party called organ lzatlon meetings for today. The work of organizing was not without its potential fireworks. The ! 323 house" Democrats had to choose a floor leader from among eight can didates, all promising to stay In the fight till the end. The speakership, howevcr. was a foregone conclusion, with Representa tive John W. Byrns of Tennessee slated to be nominated today and elected tomorrow. Other meetings today were mostly formalities. Senate Democrats agreed to rename Senator Robinson of Ar kansas as their leader: senate Re publicans were behind Senator Mc Nary of Oregon for that Job In their purty. The 102 house Republicans were expected to renominate Repre- sentaitve Bertrand H. Snell of Ne York as their floor leader. Would Change Utiles After how Democrats chose their leader, another contested issue was in atore. Democratic leaders, seeking to protect the administration pro gram from any revolt, put on a broad campaign for a change in rules so that 218 members instead of 145 would have to sign a petition to force a vote on a bill which lacked administration approval. There was opposition, especially among some middle and far western- j crs who in the past have hit at what they termed attempts at "gag rule." Supporters of the 218 rule, who said It would pass, declared It was not directed at the bonus. Repre sentative Byrns and other chiefs, con ceding the bonus will pans the house the first time. Intend to bring it up as promptly as possible so that no charge of delay can be made. me 21B rule, it was indicated, was aimed primarily at- inflationary moves lacking adminlttratlon approval. Dem ocratlc leaders hoped the caucus would approve the change so It could be put thro jjh th?" house tomorrow. or Friday. They also intended to re dure Republican membership on cer tain important committees.

J., Jan. 3. ( AP) Sitting a few feet from the father! of the baby he Is accused of murder ing, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, stol id, morose carpenter, began tiie or-1 deal of trial for his life today, and ! heard accepted Jurors say they had no prejudice against capital punish ment. He stared straight ahead through the questioning of veniremen, paying little heed to Col. Sharles A. Und berg seated nearby at the prosecution table. Mrs. Lindbergh, the bereaved mother was not present. Wife In Court Another woman, almost lost In the back of the room among a Jamming crowd, listened with intense interest. She was Mrs. Anna Hauptmann. wire of the Bronx carpenter and mother of his own Infant son, Mannfrled. At the noon recess 22 veniremen had been questioned, four accepted and sworn. The questioning and selecting went forward with unexpected speed. It began almost immediately after Jus tice Thomas W. Trenchard opened his court at iu:09 a, m. in the most Important and dramatic trial of recent years. A machinist will be foreman of the Jury. He is Charles Walton, Sr. Pamphlet .Moot Point "Criminal File No. 23 10" was a moot point in the questioning of pros pective Jurors. This pamphlet, satir izing the Lindbergh case and thinly veiling the names and circumstances. was widely distributed in Hunterdon county. Most of the veniremen ac knowledged they had read the piece, but none would say that it had any thing to da with the forming of an opinion, If he had formed one. The selected Jurors were forbidden to talk to anyone. To their guards Justice Trenchard said: 'Se that they read nothing the case and hear no rualo biouUcats. The opening of the far-noted trial today presented boom-town scenes as 700 reporters, wire men and others descended upon the busily engaged but calm, 2700 Inhabitants of the village. Many IHsnppnlntrd Seventy of the townfolk were tn a line whose head pressed against the court house door before the opening. Many of them were disappointed, for they could not be Jammed into the tiny space allotted for the trial. Some said: "We won't pay our taxes." At eaBt one girl o'rered to pay , the sheriff mone for standing room. An a;ed man. though he waited In line, refused to admit any interest! in the trial. "It makes me no money," he aver red. Another said he only erne (from 40 miles away) to "look k. the pub lic." Colonel Lindbergh watched the prospective Jurors with deep interest, noted each of them as they reacted to state of defense questions. At all times his fat urea were calm. Now and again he cupped nla chin in his hands. He was not observed In any studied glnnces toward Hauptmann, whose chair vus less than four yani away and against the same courtroom rail. Defense Accused At one point in the morning's pro ceedings the defense was accused of trylyg to attract "unwarranted sym pathy." This was when C. Llovd Fisher of the defense staff aked prospective Jurtn if the presence of so many troopers in uniform would influence him. Justice Trenchard also thought the question "unjusti-l fled." Hauptmann was heavily guarded when he was brought Into the court room, but no manacles bound his hands. He was dre.Pd in a neat gray suit. So was Colonel Lindbergh, who strode In a few minutes later and pasod directly in front of the pris oner. J v st ice Trenchard. gTey-halred and commindlngi n presence, made brisk. unhesltant rulings. He quickly put down any Inclination on the part or the crowd to laugh or audibly demonstrate. The proof Is In the wear Buy your HOSE at Ethel wyn B. Hoffmann's.
