If you were listening carefully you may have heard th. dull thud when Mr. Hoov er'a money atabtllzatlon proposal hit Washington. The moat Influential Republicans ducked In uni&on. declining publto oomment. What they aald to their friend waa that they did not In tend to get them aelvea tangled up publicly with any specific' money plan now. What they meant also was that they did not want to bo , tails on Mr. Hoo ver's Kite.

API Represent atives of the Oregon State Orange to day took Issue with Oovernor Charlea II Martin, who late yesterday chargea them with Interfering into legislative matters with which they had no con cern. Martln'a charge was made Just prior to his first defeat of a major fight with the Oregon State legislature when the Senate failed to muster the constitutional 16 votes on the county unit system for public schools and the bill went down to defeat by the margin of a alngle vote. The Stat Grange waa known to have been active, In fighting the bill which was one of Martln'a original four administration measures, and Governor Martin, cognizant of that tact.,declared: "Self Appointed Leaders" "What business have these men to appear as the mentors of every bill which comes up. This self-appointed group of leaders should be out plow ing In tha fields. Instead they are up here pestering the legislature." Hay QUI. master of the state orange. and Morton Tompkins, were the two who were the subject of Martins charge. Joined by V. F. Llvesay, tne third member of the legislative com mittee of the Orange, the organiza tion's leadera Issued the following statement today: "For over thirty years the Oregon State Orange has maintained a legis lative committee at all sessions of the legislature and this committee Is pro vided for In the Grange by laws, so we are not self appointed." "The governor states that this com mittee "should be out ploughing m the fields, where the birds are sing ing"; that Is Just a polished way of saying, "Go home and alop the hogs." The county unit mill only applies to rural sections Bnd la of primary In terest for farmers. Most every bill presented at the legislature effects farmers and, we are therefor con cerned." There are 55.000 farms of 3 acres or more In Oregon with real property valued at 630 millions. There are 330 Granges in Oregon with 20,000 mem bers. With the tremendous opposition to the cunty unit bill the wonder Is, that these senators did not get more communications than they did." "Doing Their Duty" We have no quarrel with the Gov ernor. We are here to do our duty for the Grange, the largest farm organi zation In the state. Wc will carry for ward their legislative program and no one can Intimidate us." The defeat of tho county unit school bill on the 40th day of the ses sion came only after a prolonged bat tle since the opening of the session. Januaty 14.

(AP) After one withering blast at Attorney Ed- T ATHENS. Ga., Feb. 23. (AP) Paul Mallon, Washington corrcspon- ward J. Rellly, Betty Gxw went Into dent and columnist, told the Georgia hiding tonight. A diligent search of London hotels failed to locate the pretty Scot girl who, as Baby Charles A. Lindbergh's nurse, was one of the Btar state wit nesses In the Hauptmann murder trial at Flemlngton, N. J. Miss Gow was believed to be with her mother, who met her at South ampton. Tho Lindbergh baby nurse broke her customary silence to take bitter exception to what she termed "brut al and unjust" attacks upon her by Hauptmann's defense lawyers. Rellly. she said, "went too far. To Insinuate that I knew more about the tragedy than I made known to the court was most unjust. I am sure he would not have been allowod to do that in Britain. He should not be allowed to do It In America." press institute hero today that be cause of a "number of personal af fairs" misunderstandings have arlscu which have turned President Roose velt against newspapermen and "vice versa." He predicted that during the next two years the president will have "leas cordlrfl relations" with the press than heretofore. Mallon added, 'however, that this had been the usual case in press re lations with the White House. It was true In the Harding and Hoover ad ministrations, he said. He did not elaborate on these re marks other than to say "certain re porters claim to have been misled by the White House and the White Houso claims certain newsmen are biased." SAI.HM. Ore , Feb. 33 i,V Major liquor Issues were thrown into the Oregon legislature iat today when i throe measures, one providing pert- : lnrnt changes In the Knox liquor taw. another a stamp tax for cities to re:- ; ulate their own ber sales systems : and the third, a wine ad valoren tax. were Introduced or prepared for in troduction. These Issues appeared as the sixth woek of the 38th regular session came to a close, and although It was pat the regular 40-day period, the session was expected to continue for another two weeks. The most optimistic lead ers believing however, that it may end in another 10 days, or about March fl. Both tut'.isea were in ses sion today, the lower branch contin uing until night while the senate adjourned at noon. The changes In the present liquor control law. on which the house al coholic committee has agreed, were featured by raising the alcoholic con tent of wine which rosy be distrib uted by private firms under licenses Issued by the state, and reduction of the alcoholic content In beer sold. The present law provides that all wines containing 14 per cent alcohol by volume, or less, may be so dis pensed. Should the amendments to the Knox law be supported. It would raise the content from that ratio to 17 per cent by weight, which has been declared equivalent to 21.0 by volume. Another chief amendment to the law would limit the legal alcoholic content of beer to 3 8 per cent by weight. Many other change are rec ommended. Including reduction of hard liquor buying permits from $1 to 50 cents a year. All major controversies upon to day's calendars wen deferred until Monday,, but both houses did clear their desks of scores of smaller Is sues. Next week w!U also see the bulk of the ways and means com mittee measures Introduced, follow ing a policy upon salary scales for state officials and employes.

(AP) A recall election on Representative Howard Merrlam will be called for Lane county before March 20. probably right after March 15, It waa made known hero today when Merrlam said he would refuse to resign within the five-day period. Petitions for the recall, with Hg- natures of 3S45 names, or 600 more than required, were filed with the secretary of state late yesterday. The five-day period In which Mer rlam has the right to resign If he so wished, started today, but the Lane county representative was em phatic In his declaration he would not resign. After the five-day period the aecrotnry of state must call an eleetion within 20 days.- Tho recall against Merrlam was started tn In county by supporters of tho Townarnd $200 a month old age ' pension plan. Records of the legislature show Merrlam cast an af firmative vote for the modified Townsend pension memorial. The survey the situation. They found con gress nering the end of the second month of tho session with hardly a single piece of major legislation out of the way. This situation was nothing les than atartling by comparison with the first sessions under President Roose velt. Pennsylvania avenuo was crowd ed then with menscnpcra bearing grants of power to the Whit House. An explanation f the change was quickly advanced by the Chamber of Commerce of the United State, which In Its fortnlnhtly review, said one of the chief causes was "grow ing resistance to the sweeping char acter of proposals advanced by the administration aa well aa to the de termination of an Important bloc to follow a more deliberate and Inde pendent course." On Capitol Hill the conclusions varied. Democrats said there waa lit tle significance: that congress got started late duo to the lame duck amendment: and that the first la- sues presented were more than nor mally controversial Republicans agreed in part with the Chamber of Commerce, but contended also It was a sign of growing opposition to tho administration. Tho latter view was advanced 07 some Republicans who hive support ed President Roosevelt They aald thoir mail indicated sentiment was turning against the chief executive, and that senators were no longer compelled to follow tho administra tion because of an overwhelming "pro-Roosevelt" feeling. One Republican, who did not wish to bo quoted, aald tho change In his correspondence had. been ona of the strangest political phenomena -ho had ovor witnessed, ire said tho admtn istmtlon'a social security program had proved a boomerang, because tho great masses of the poor had expected a more liberal, plan.
