Would we have much trouble

Senator Connelly (D Tex.) asked
sarcastically.
Oh now," Townsend said.
Well, you were comparing It to

Doctor, do you believe una is a

replied firmly.
He contended the plan wouia dou

Would the plan Increase the cost
of a Ford car?" Harrison asked.
"No. It would decrease the cost.
"Though there would be a two

rison asked.
Townsend launched Into a discus

ring to It as "Henry's philosophy."
"What would these people buy
with 200 a month?" Senator Bark

'Are you opposed to saving

Yes. It la wrorw In principle.
Townsend replied, adding that pros
perity was dependent upon the ex
change of money.
Somebody will get this money wo
turn over to the sged and save It."
Barkley said.
Henry Ford would get it." -on-

get his own. but everybody else's."

Senator Hastings (H., Del ) asked
If Townsend had considered cutting
the pension where two or more sged

It would be suicidal, tne iv-

Townsend contended the rich would

He estimated thst 4.500.000 of those

Jobs would go to olhers.
"If this Is such a gowt thing for

"Sixty Is only a stsrllng point."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UP) Yale
University possesses one of the most
extensive collections of original
Babylonian literature In the world
more than 21.000 Items extending
over a period between 3.000 and 4.000
years before the Christian era.
The collection Includes materials
from libraries of cities of the time
of Abraham, about 2000 B. C, and
such religious texts aa epics, hymns.
prayers, syllabaries, and mathemati
cal and medical treaties.
There also are records of legal and
business transactions, personal and
official letters of ktngA and adminis
trative documents from the archives
of Babylonian temples. The personal
Inscriptions of about 35 kings of
Babylonia and Assyria are on exhibi
tion. One inscription of Nebuchadnezzar
refers to the restoration of temples
and wails In and near Babylon, in
cluding the tower of Babel, and re
lates he beheld the Inscribed atones
of Naram-Sln, who lived 2.000 years
before his time. One of these stones
waa found at the place described,
enabling historians to determine the
location of ancient Marad.
The legal aspect of tthc . parable
of the Prodigal Son never was sur
mised until the prototype of 'the
Code of Hammurabi was discovered.
The fourth of the nine laws in
the tablet read: ' If a son say unto
his father and his mother, 'not my
father, not my mother,' from the
house, field, plantation, servants,
property, animals he shall go forth;
and his portion, to Its full amount,
he (the father) shall give htm. His
father and mother shall say to htm
'not our son; from the neighborhood
of the house he shall go."
Receiving his portion of the estate,
he ceased to be a legal son, the tic
having been annulled by the fourth
law.

OPEN THIS WEEK
During this week, business and
professional men of Medford and
Jackson county who do not belong
to the. Chamber of Commerce, wilr- be
asked to support the organization. It
waa announced by President B. E.
Harder.
"Our Chamber of Commerce la do
ing a fine Job, we believe, and we
have a great deal If Important work
ahead of ua which necessarily Involves
certain expenses.. We feel we are en
titled to the support of all business
men in the county, and with that
support we can continue our regular
work aa well as our activities to de
velop a five year program In Jackmn
county and the work of the national
housing act," he continued.
Mr. Harder la calling together ft
group of the younger members of
the Chamber of Commerce on Mon
day at 8;00 p. m., at the Chamber
of Commerce building for the . pur
pose of obtaining suggestions rela
tive to the membership campaign.
In announcing the campaign, Mr.
Harder made the following state
ment: "Membership In the Chamber
of Commerce la subscription nnd
not a donation and It should be n
mark of distinction to belong to It.
If the Chamber of Commerce is Im
perative in good times It la alt the
more necessary In bad times. United
efforts alone can produce results
when condition are adverse.
"The future program of this Cham
ber of Commerce depends upon the
membership. Ideas from the member
ship help formulate our program of
work. If a man la a member, he
has a better opportunity to get his
Ideas before the proper authorities
than he would have if he were nos
a member. There Is no other organ
ization In Medford which can enlist
the big majority of the business men
of the community in service for the
community. The Chamber of Com
merce Is not a club, but Is an or
ganized citizenship for the general
welfare of Medford and. Jackson
county. The -Chamber of Commerce
la the only agency equipped to
analyze the needs of the city and
county."

MADRID (UP) The inauguration
of the projected Madrid-Paris airline,
scheduled for May 15. literally will
remove Spain from its Isolated posi
tion in western Europe.
Up to now Madrid's communica
tion with western and central Eu
rope was confined to a 24-hour rail
road trip to Paris, while Madrid and
Barcelona were connected with south
ern Europe by an aerial line to Rome.
The new airline will leave Paris
only four hours from Madrid, Instead
of 24.
Fourteen passenger Douglas planes.
each carrying ft pilot, mechanic and j
radio operator, will leave Madrid
daily at 7:30 a. m., and arrive In
Paris at 11:40 r." m. The return plane!
will leave from Paris at 3:40 p. m.. !
and reach Madrid at 8:50 rl. m., thus
permitting business men almost a
full four hours between plnnea to
transact their affairs In Paris and be
able to return to Madrid before eve
ning. Airplane connections will permit
persons leaving Madrid in the morn
ing to reach London. Berlin, Amster
dam. Berne or Warsaw on the same
day.
The new airline also will carry
mall.
The route will be operated by the '
Spanish Aerial Postal Lines, now i
maintaining services from Madrid to j
Barcelona, Valencia and Seville. The j
Spanish lines, under the present i
management, have not had a single j
accident in six years and have regis
tered only a few forced landings. A
branch line from Seville to the Can-
ary Islands and one from Barcelona ;
to Palma, Mallorca, also are main
taincd.
