WASHINOTON, May 35. The cn-
ar rihnt nn the hnnns wss Ahnnt
up to the level of the top of the
penoa at me enu
of this senwnoj.
Pr Instance, a
leading Republi
can Inflationist
made the best
bonus defense
speech. His Ar
gument ran this
way: There u

and put two billions more In circu
lation. (This two billion would
wind up In the banks within 30
days, thue doubling the excess re
serves situation which the speaker
deplored.)
The star speech on the other aide
waa made by an antl-bonuslte who
pleaded long and loudly that the
President, not congress, had the re
sponsibility for money policy and
that therefore congress should never
interfere with the president on mon
ey matters. Apparently he forgot the
section of the constitution which
says that congress has the respon
sibility for fixing the value of mon
ey, etc.
The whole discussion was further
proof that congressional debate is not
w'nat It pretends to be. The speakers
first decide which side they are go
ing to be on and then seek pretexts
to Justify themselves and their po
litical clients. They are not disin
terested legislators, but attorneys for
the prosecution or defense.
It is no secret that government
press agent try to control news, but
they are usually smart enough not
to get caught. The publicity depart
ment of Mr. Hopkins' FERA waa nab
bed the other day, red-faced and red
handed. A newsman wandered into the of
fice of a division head, socking some
statistics about the great work the
Hopkins spending program la sup
posed to do. While he waa getting
the Information, a telephone rang.
The voice at the other end of the
wire could be heard all over the room.
It was the press agent, saying to the
division head, In effect: "I under
stand you have a newspaper man In
your room and you are giving him In
formation. Tou are not supposed to
do that. All Information must come
through me."
Apparently the fault la not entirely
that of the publicity system, but of
some of the men In It who have come
to believe they are bottlers of Infor
mation Instead of purveyors of it.
Two thorough private Investiga
tion of son James Roosevelt's insur
ance activities have been made lately.
The second ha Just been completed

significant, or anything worth pub

from his Insuranre business while he

No one noticed State Secretary
Hull's answer to Yankee Trader Peek
(except possibly Mr. Peek). It was
hidden down at the bottom of Presi
dent Roosevelt's radio message on
maritime day:
"Our reciprocity treaties are already
bearing fruit and similar treaties
which are expected to be equally
beneficial are In the process of being
negotiated. I wish you every success
. . . and stand ready to help at every
onportunlty."
The message was sent to Hull to
.ead over the radio. It effectively
implied an Indorsement of the Hull
method (as opposed to the Peek
method) of meeting the foreign trade
situation.
It wa erroneously stated here that

INDIANAPOLIS, May 3(1. (AP)
Skids marked the resumption today
of qualifying trlal for the fiOO-utllc
race to be run May 30 at the In
dianapolis motor speedway.
A pilot tuning up for the trials
wrecked his car on one of the
treacherous turns and a householder
living Just across the road from
the big track threatened througn
court action to ditch the entire
race, contending that it la a public
nuisance and & dangerous event.
The mishap occurred to the car
driven by Merrill (Doc) Williams ot
Anderson, Ind. He waa speeding ac
100 mllca por hour when his cur
suddenly acooted toward the out

DEFERPAY BOOST
Wage Proposals Rejected
Once, Are Accepted
Lumber Strike Still
Spreading Conciliatory
Note Seen Mills Open.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 2 ft. tVTp
Union furniture workers tonight vot
ed overwhelmingly to accept alter
nnte wage proposals submitted by
two furniture factories here and pro
vlously rejected by the workers.
The workers asked establishment of
a 60-cent an hour wage minimum by
June 1, but tonight voted by a mar
gin of almost 10 to 1 to accept the
counter proposal which will defer the
full increase for the 2000 workers
until 1036.
This was the most hopeful news
today In the Pacific northwest lum
ber strike which at lta peak threw
40.000 out of work. Union officials
have noted a more conciliatory at
mosphere tn negotiations the past
few days.
However a new walkout of 200 em
ployes of the lumber, plywood and
sash and door plants of the Mc
Clearly Lumber company at Olympla
showed the strike to be still spread
ing In places.
About 400 men will return to
work at the Western Cooperage
company plant here Monday under
a compromise plan accepted by coop
erage unionists.
There were rumors aeveral saw
mills and loading camps In eastern
Oregon and Washington prooaoiy
would resume Monday with union
sanction in some Instance and
without in others.
The rllt in union ranks at Tac
oma was carried today to sawmill
and timbers workers' council ses
sions at Longvlew. The question of
whether A. W. Mulr, executive board
member of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, had he au
thority to depose Norman H. Lango
of Tacoma, vice-president of the
Northwest Council of Sawmill ana
Timber Workers' Unions, remained
a moot question. '
Three hundred delegates were reg
istered and the meeting was due
to continue tomorrow,
Petite nt Forest Grove
In Washington county, where dep
utised formers, county snd state
officers finally dispersed hundreds
of pickets who gathered when "un

tection, peace prevailed today even
when seven railroad cars of lum
ber, hogged fuel and slabwood
wound their way out of the litlm-
son company sawmill,
Despite the favorable vote of rur
nittire workers, the Doernbecher and
B. P. John Furniture companies will
remain closed several days. Closure
followed the original and adverse
vote of the workers, who did not
strike.
Officials declared re-openlng would
depend on how soon the lumber
strike relaxed and supplies could be
obtained. John company officials
announced, all boilers are being re
built during the layoff.
The Oregon conciliation board,
called Into strike discussions by
Governor Charles H. Martin,' will
hold a general hearing here tomor

operators Involved In the strike. The
board has power to subpoena any

Pomona Takes Action On
Educational Issues After
Lively Arguments At Eu
gene Meet.
EUGENE. Ore., May 23. (AP) The
Lane Pomona Grange in meeting to
day passed a resolution calling upon
the state board of higher education
to do away with the office of chan
cellor and to allow each of the Insti
tutions of higher learning to con
tinue under its own president. Th
resolution Is expected to be presented
to the education board at its meeting
Monday.
Another resolution passed favored
the referendum of the compulsory
student fee ruling. Lively arguments
featured voting on both resolutions.
Some grangers expressed the opinion
that the resolution on the chancellor
waa a matter for the Orange to leave
alone. When the vote was taken.
however, the resolution was favored
by a large majority. Allen Wheeler,
sergennt at arms in the senate at the
recent state legislature and son of
State Senator H. C. Wheeler, took the
floor for 40 minutes In favor of the
student fee bill, which waa spon
sored by his father in the recent
legislature.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 25. (&)-
While the state board of higher edu
cation went ahead with plan to se
lect a new chancellor for Oregon's
higher education system, opponents
of the chancellorship system tonight
reaffirmed their protests.
The board committee looking for a
now chancellor announced that In
response to repeated urging. Dr.
Frederick Maurice Hunter, chancellor
of the University of Denver, will ar
rive here tomorrow to consider the
possibility ot becoming Oregon's new
chancellor.
Dr, W. J. Kerr, present chancellor,
has submitted hie resignation, ef
fective upon appointment of his suc
cessor. But on the eve of Dr. Hunter's sr
rival Erie Wellington of Portland,
president of the Oregon dads, de
clared his group snd the Oregon
mother would not waver In their In
tentiona to present resolutions to th
education board demanding abolition
of the office of chancellor,
The Pomona grange at Eugene
adopted a similar resolution today.
Wellington announced that Earl
Chessman of Astoria, president of the
University of Oregon alumni assocla
tron. notified him that the action by
the Portland alumni association re
garding the chancellorship "does not
represent the attitude of the Uni
versity of Oregon alumni, which ha
takn no action and made no rec
ommendation." The Portland group had expressed
confidence in the present set-up with
a chancellor heading all the Institu
tions, "We are not fighting Kerr or any
body else." declared Wellington. "We
simply are objecting to the system."
Dr. Hunter haa held the chancel'
lorshlp of the University of Denver
since 1B28. He long has been promi
nent In educational affairs, particu
larly In committee work and prepara
tion for educational papers.
Dr, Hunter was born In Savannah,
