(Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon.)
WASHINGTON, June 35. Mr. Hull,
the silent secretary of state, la silent
only In public. About once a month
his mountain
blood rises. When
It does, he goes
a-gunnlng alone
In his own quiet
but relent less
way, avoiding
p u b 1 1 c ity and
thus perpetuat
ing his reputa
tion as an easy
going person.
Tills time he la
after the inner
clrclers who are
trying to turn
1WLL MALLON
the AAA cotton program Into an ex
port subsidy plan. He has prepared
a confidential memorandum which
has been sent to the cabinet textile
committee and others In the top cir
cle. It offers formidable opposition to
a seven-cent government subsidy on
cotton exports, suggested by the cot
ton textile institute and favored by
Mr. Hull's old antagonist, George
Peek, and several cotton congressmen.
It means there Is going to be trou
ble. As Mr. Hull has never yet failed
to win a new deal argument, the odds
are distinctly in his favor.
The confidential Hull memo says
the subsidy plan would encourage
foreign nations to retaliate and thus
would start a new International tar
iff war. He thinks it violates the
spirit of our own anti-dump statute
for the government to permit unlim
ited production here and then dump
cotton abroad for seven cents a pound
less than our domestic price. It
would cost the treasury a third of
customs revenues (about 9100.000.000
a year) to get rid of the processing
tax that way, he says. It reminds
him of the Coolidge-Hoover policy of
lending money abroad to finance an
abnormal export market. As you can
see. he is hot about it.
The cabinet textile committee al
ready was In confxislon before Mr.
Hull's blast arrived. It haa discov
ered that the supreme court clipped
Its powers by the NRA decision, Just
aa the decision affected nearly every
other new deal agency. The decision
stopped It from doing anything about
wages, hours, production control. The
only ideas It could play with were
Japanese Imports, the processing tax,
and the subsidy scheme which is
contained In the AAA amendments
now being passed in congress.
Now with Mr. Hull on a rampage
against the subsidy, and the .AAA In
clined to agree with him, the com
mittee is out In the middle of the
car tracks with no place to go.

FOR LABOR PEACE
FRUITMEN REVEAL
OATA ON INDUSTRY
AT
ROTARY MEET
Due to an unavoidable delay in
Dr. George W. Peavy's visit to south
ern Oregon, members of the Fruit
Growers' league provided a program
in the absence of this speaker for
today's Joint meeting of that or
ganization and the Medford Rotary
club at the Hotel Medford. J. B.
Kirk, president of the league, acted
as chairman of the meeting, intro
ducing a numfler of speakers who
gave enlightening facts concerning
tho fruit growing activities in the
Rogue River valley and the Import
ance of the industry to this commu
nity. Edward W. Carlton, chairman or
frost protection activities and the
first speaker, discussed the work of
the experiment stations and the
county agent's office, explaining how
their activities had been co-ordinated
with an Improved method oi
amassing and disseminating Infor
mation concerning the Industry. W.
T. Cordy. the new horticulturist for
the valley followed Mr. Carlton, ex
pressing appreciation for the co
operation he has received from the
fruitgowers and packers since as
suming his post here.
The activities of the experiment
station were explained to the Ro
tarians and guests by Dr. W. W.
Aldrlch, head of the federal experi
ment station here. The activities or
this station In scientific research
and the application of theories to
actual fruit raising through nu
merous experimental plots were ex
plained by Dr. Aldrlch.
The Importance of the fruit in
dustry to Medford and tho other
Rogue River valley communities was
emphasized by Raymond Rcter, past
president of the Traffic associntion.
in his brief address at today's
meeting. The Rotarlans and guests
were asked to visualize a great fac
tory with payrolls equivalent to ye.
fruit business here, aa a means of
getting a real picture of the magni
tude of the Industry and its many
ramifications. From 1 .800.000 to X
million boxes of Rogue River valley
fruit are shipped each year to mar
kets In the four corners of the
globe, Mr. Rcter said. The average
payroll of the Industry approximates
$1,250,000; 2 million boxes manu
factured in this section of the state
represents an added payroll of ap
proximately $200,000, and paper
wraps produced In the Pacific Nortn
west adds $120,000 in payrolls to this
sum. Mr, Reter estimated that the
entire fruit operation brings tiie
total In payrolls near the two mil
lion dollar mark. The Installation
of new equipment and construction
of modern pre-coollng and packing
plants indirectly add to the tre
mendous payrolls made possible by
fruit raising activities In this sec
tion of Oregon.
Mr. Reter pointed out that the
capacity of modern pre-coollng plants
now in operation and' under con
struction in the Medford area Is ap
proximately 910,000 boxes, also Indi
cating the progress recently made by
fruit packers and shippers.
Crop prospects for the coming sea
son were discussed by Harry Rosen
burg, vice-president of the Fruit
Growers' league. There are many
factors to be taken into considera
tion in determining the value of the
1035 crop. In addition to the basic
"supply and demand," according to
Mr. Rosenburg. Due to the growing
Importance of foreign markets, ex
change rates, embargoes and reci
procal tariffs are Important factors
in the marketing of crcps. From the
standpoint of the quality and quan
tity of local fruit and present mar
keting prospects, the 1935 season
should be "decidedly favorable," Mr.
Rosenburg said The speaker pointed
out the substantial strides made
during the past few seasons in pack
ing and marketing conditions, ana

Up City Where Three
Major Kidnapings Pulled
By WILMS EVANS
(Copyright, MAS, by United Pretts)
ST. PAUL, Minn.. June 25. (UP)
The St. Paul Dally News and a new
police commissioner today rocked the
city's police department to the very
bottom of Its firmly Imbedded tradi
tions In startling condemnation of
the system that allowed six major
kidnapings In three years and made
St. Paul the "crime capital of the na
tion." Commissioner H. E. Warren cred
ited Daily News Investigators, employ
ed by the militant editor, Howard
Kahn, with bringing about the fall
of the dynasty reared by Police Chief
John J. O'Connor 35 years ago.
Caught In the crash waa Mike Cul
ligan, present police chief, who is sus
pended for 30 daya pending a grand
Jury investigation promised by Mayor ,
Mark Graham of the phonoraphlcally !
recorded evidence the Daily News In
vestigation produced. Four of Culli
gan'a men were ordered to resign
and four more were suspended.
The traditions upset today were
those installed by O'Connor during
his 15 years aa chief. Briefly his phi
losophy was:
"Let the crooks rest In St. Paul
and they'll do their raiding else
where." Against the credo the Dally News
opened its attack with banner line
front page editorials In February,
1934, two days before the $200,000
abduction of Edward G. Bremer,
banker scion of a wealthy family.
The News produced evidence to
support Its charges of police graft
and collusion with the underworld.
Mayor William Mahoney ordered a
grand Jury Investigation.
On the day the grand Jury reported
John Dllllnger shot his way out of a
St. Paul police trap. The Dally News
front page streamers read:
Grand Jury Whitewashes Police Ad
ministration. Dillinger Shoots Way out of City
Apartment.
Shortly thereafter. United States
Attorney General Homer 8. Cum
mlnga termed St. Paul "the nation's
poison spot of crime." to which Mayor
Mahoney replied that It waa a "po
litical plot."
Editor Kahn, of a youthful, military
bearing, commented:
'St. Paulltes who were not blinded
by local pride of political aspirations
knew that Mr. Cummlngs spoke the
truth.
"Three major kidnapings, eight un
solved murders, lnumerable daylight
holdups, machine gun outrages, gang
fights all during a period of two
years have made citizens Jittery."
Mayor Mahoney was not re-elected,
His successor named Warren head of
the public fety department. War
ren gave the Dally News investigat
ors a secret room In the new public
safety building where, under the dt
rection of Wallace Jamie, eon of Chi
cago's famous "secret six" chieftain,
Alexander Jamie, Dally News investi
gators installed their complicated
"listening board."
Wires ran Into every police depart
ment room. Today, a year later, War
