By P.UL MALLOV
Copt right, iniW, By Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON, May 1. People are
buying again, where they are getting
the money la not quit clear, but
they are certainly spending it. Their
purchase or new
cam. big and lit
1 1 e department
tore products
and even wash
ing midlines
seem to be run
ning higher now
than at any time
during the last
three years.
Thts unexpect
ed feature of the
March -April
business trend Is
disclosed par
PAUL MALL ON
tially in the monthly business chart.
The chart shows that, during the
last sixty days, department store sales
have been abouU8l per cent of nor
mal for thta season of the year (nor
mal being the 1923-25 averages).
Such sales have not been so near to
normal since the month of January,
1931, when we started on the tobog
gan. If you dig into the aubject, you will
find that the freer spending tendency
la not confined to the department
stores. The way auto sales are hold
ing up is considered semi-mlraculou3
inside the industry. Production in
the Unted States and Canada during
March was around 542,000 oars. April
about 45000 cars, and the May plans
call for equaling April's output.
These cars are being sold. Sales for
the first quarter were actually 64 per
cent higher than last year. One of
the largest companies had the best
first quarter in five years and went
into the second quarter with excess
orders amounting to 74.500.
Of course, only the cars selling for
less than 41.000 are getting this big
plsy.
The broader scope of fresh buying
activity is probably beat shown by a
survey recently concluded in the bu
reau of foreign and domestic com
merce. It investigated mall order and
chain store sales in the small towns
and discovered that, for the first
quarter, these sales were 15 per cent
larger than a year ago.
The survey Indicated the best gains
were in the south. The improvement
was computed by geographical sec
tions as follows: East up 13 per cent
over first quarter last year; south up
21 per cent; middle west up 15 per
cent and far west up 11 per cent.
Thia means that the small town
folks and farmers are buying more.
Just as the city people are. It also
''proves the trend is national and cov
ers almost the entire field of ligh:
goods.
Aside from this factor, the general
business figures are nothing to brag
about. Industrial production Is run
ning slightly behind its usual season-
al course. Factory employment and
f payrolls have improved only slightly.
Car loadings are behind; prices are at
a new high and building is far in the
rear.
You oan see the relationship of
these indices in the following chart.

percentage of normal (1923-25 aver-

PORTLAND, May 1 . ( A P ) On
next Saturday sentence will be passed
in federal court here on E. C. Sol ins -ky,
former superintendent of Crater
Lake national park, convicted last
night on 14 counts of defrauding the
federal government. The Jury delib
erated seven hours.
Solink7 was dismissed from the
auperintendency of the park and was
ousted from the service after charges
nad been made that he padded pay
rolls and otherwise manipulated
funds of the park.
Five Year Penalty
There is no specified minimum sen
tence for the crime of which Solinsky
was convicted, but the maximum is
five years on each of the fourteen
counts in the indictments.
The defendnnt made no display of
emotion ns the verdict was read but
close observers saw that he lost color.
For days through the trial he has
appeared the most unconcerned In
the courtroom. Hia wife and daugh

nor did they indicate the feeling they
must have experienced.
The Solinrtty defense had argued

ATTORNEY FOR LAMSON
SAN JOSE. Calif., May l.(Ap
A ringing declaration that "there can
be no compromise" on the question
of David Lamson's guilt or Inno
cence was made by Edwin V. Mc-
Kenzle, chief of defense counsel, as
he demanded complete exoneration
for the alleged wife- slayer in closing
arguments here today.
"You are concerned with trying
an issue of fact," said McKenzle to
the Jxiry In Lamson's second trial on
a charge of bludgeoning Allenc
Thorpe Lamson to death on Memorial
Day, 1933.
"The defendant Is either guilty or
not guilty. There can be no compro
mise." McKenzie asserted the burden of
proof not only that a crime was com
mitted but also that the defendant
is guilty rests solely with the state.
The attorney indicated he expected
to continue his argument through
out the day and perhaps tomorrow.

MARTIN REFUSES
PARDON BAER TO
HALT
SALEM, Mny l.yTP) Governor
Martin today denied the application
of Walter E. Baer for a pardon for
felonlea committed in 1919 and 1921.
As a result of the governor' refusal
to grant the pardon Baer faces de
portation to Germany. He i ft resi
dent of Portland.
The governor held a. hearing late
yesterday which lasted for more than
three hours on the second applica
tion of Baer for a pardon. Baer, ac
companied by his attorney. Irvln
Goodman, was present to present hts
own case.
Others here In behalf of Bacf In
cluded Peter Zimmerman, Independ
ent candidate against Martin In the
last election. Ray Oill. master of the
state grange, and Albert Slaughter
They sat on the side lines during the
hearing.
Those speaking in behalf of Baer,
who was being held by Immigration
offlelala for deportation to Germany
on grounds of "moral turpitude" ss
a result of earlier crimes. Included
H. B. Lee and Mary Ooold. of the In
ternational labor defense league.
A pardon. It was argued, would ab
solve Baer of the crimes and permit
h,m 7tmhn m the United States
with his family. Baer had recently
been accused, but not convicted, of
attacks relative to obtaining state
relief.
In declining the pardon for Baer
Governor Martin said:
"A carerul investigation, made by
Mr. Pray, superintendent of state po
lice, at my direction, discloses that
Mr. Baer has been a continuous of
fender since 1916 and even after his
third release from prison he has been
In more 'or less continuous trouble
with autthorltles.
"Mr. Baer has served three peni
tentiary sentences, one In Idaho and
two In Oregon. He was convicted of
his third offense while on parole
from the Oregon penitentiary for his
second offense.
"The purpose of a pardon in a case
of this kind is to restore civil right
Mr. Baer is an alien, and haa no civil
rights that could be restored.
"I do not overlook that fact that
Mr. Baer and haa frends aeek a par
don only after the long lapse from
his lsst penitentiary sentence and
only after the national government
has taken action against him for de-
portatlon for his crimes. Should I
Issue this pardon, the only effect
would be to thwart the national gov-
I ernment in execution of Its laws. If
Mr. BaeT desires to remain in this
i country, his relief must be sought In
Washington."

lini spoke to his people. It s in
teresting to compare the two
speeches, not so much on ac
count. o the two men but on
account of difference in tem
perament of the two races.
Mussolini said "You hava
many lean years ahead, you
must sacrifice mid bear it."
Now nobody could make that
speech to us. We don't want to
be told we must "sacrifice ami
that we miirht have lean year
coming." but Mussolini's plan
is the best. If he brines his
people auv little benefits they
are tickled to death but f we
don't receive every benefit wo
are hollering.
