EDFOR Thirtieth Year MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY' 14, 1935 No. 96. The Weather Forecast: Fair with continued high temperature Sunday and Mon day. Highest yesterday 87.H lowest jesterday - 610 Maeli Tribune JML D By PAVL MAI.LON Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallori. WASHINGTON. July 14. The most noteworthy progress of the work progress administration ao tax haa been In spreading more blame than n-ork. Every manicured Index finger of an Insider seema to be pointed at aome other insider. The fact la none of them will have any roses pinned on them for what haa been done so far. The whole story would require 10 volumes, but a few hearty ax swings at the red tape til 1 enough to give jou an Idea of has hap pened under- neath. MAIXUN President Roosevelt submitted the Indefinite outlines of the 4.800.000 effort six months ao and told con gress to hurry with the appropria tion. The deadline was July 1. altho he wanted to get started much earlier. Todav. the prORram Is still unlaunch ed Only a few dozen Jobless have been transferred from relief to work rolls. Pinal approval has been given only to three state plana (Indiana. Georgia and Alabama) and only to two cities, (New Yorx and Washing ton). . The most optimistic around Mr. Hopkins' headquarters will confess, off the record, that It will be a "month or two yet" before they really get going. What Is holding Mr. Hopkins back now is mainly organization. For some weeks, the active boss of the program has been trying to organize a staff of worka supervisors over the country. All state supervisors receiving more than 5000 salary must be confirmed by the senate. Consequently, the senators had to be consulted about these appointees. Many small delays developed due to conflicts between eenatora and governors. In same cases, men suggested by them were rejected by Hopkins. Impartial observers now feel that he has the nucleus of a fairly competent staff. u.tt. .11 this Btalf Is new and Inex perienced. It replaces the pld state relief organizations and hence must be instructed In Its duties. Hopkins bad to go to the extent of organizing training schools for that purpose. These are being held now In the states. (One Is going on this week in North Carolina.) If you want to know wtiy all this was not done before this late date, you will' have to ask Mr. Hopkins. What held up Mr. Hopkins for two months before that was Mr. Ickos. It Is not a secret that Messrs. Hopkins and Ickes sparred almost continuous ly since the legislation was enacted. Mr. Hopkins thought In terms of unemployed people. Ho did not care much about projects, except those which would furnish employment where the unemployed are. Mr. Ickes thought mcatly of socially useful pro tects. He lost. The result was that the project list of the national resources board had to be tossed out the window, sheet by sheet. A new list of projects was compiled. But after they had been authorized and announced, It was discovered these also would not do the Job. for the same reason. The money would be used up without ab sorbing the unemployed, because too mutfh would go for materials. That list was rescinded. Now It Is being revised. There la a feeling among Mr. Hop kins' friends that Mr. Ickes has failed to over-exert himself since he lost the decision, but that la a long story. An Item of forgotten history Is that the blame for the original delay goes to congress. It squabbled over the legislation for three months (exactly eighty-seven days). The first reason was that It wanted to find out what projects President Roosevelt had In mind. All It found out was the re port of the national resources board, containing a lot of expensive 20-year projects, now scrapped. Another rea son was that senators wanted to pay prevailing local wages on relief work. Under tha latest dictum of Mr. Roosevelt (June 31, the pay rate will be around 600 a year, or 50 per month per man. The president himself haa escaped in the general round of flnger-polnt-Ing. If you go back and look Into the record of his public statements since January, you will find no evi dence of any promises unfulfilled. For Instance, he mentioned no speci fic date for starting the work. But if you will look at his original message to congress, you may find a significant piece of evidence. In it he favored both the viewpoints of Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Ickes. His primary principle then express ed was that all works should be use ful "not for a day, or a year, but useful In the sense that it affords permanent improvement In living conditions" (This la the Ickes conten tion exactly'i.

His temperature waa 109 and his condi tion grave. Newberg'a temperature of 110 waa the hottest reported In Ore gon. The worst fire hazard In years pre vailed In the Columbia gorge forests Friday when a 38-mlle an hour gale waa blowing and humidity had drop ped to the almost unprecedented low of 18 per cent. Fire hazard over the entire Pacific northwest was acute, but diminished somewhat Saturday with humidity rising slightly. (By tlie AsMwlated Press) A boiling sun and brisk, heat-laden winds turned northern Oregon and the mid-Columbia river basin into a bake oven which melted several all time records here yesterday (Satur day). The worst fire hazard in years pre vailed In the Columbia Gorge forests Friday, when a 38-mlle an hour gale waa blowing and humidity had drop ped to the almost unprecedented low of 18, Fire hazard over the entire Pacific northwest was great, but un diminished somewhat Saturday with humidity rising slightly. North Dalles, Wash., led the heat parade at 100 degrees with The Dalles, Ore., across the Columbia river, sweltering under 108 degrees, hottest day since the record HO-degree mark set July 4, 1922. New all-time heat records were set at Portland and at Salem, both with 105 degrees. Portland's previous rec ord was 104.2 degrees set In 1926. Salem'a old record of 104 was set in 1927. At least three persons were prostrated with heat in the upper Willamette valley. Forest fire hazard was so acute that Regional Forester C. J. Buck ordered CCC boys to forego their usual week end holidays and remain in camp over the week end to be ready to combat any fires. No extensive forest fire has menaced the northwest yet this season. Buck explained that any humidity reading below 30 or 35 west of the Cascade mountains Is considered haz ardous. Southern Oregon was on the fringe of the frying pan, eo to speak, with Medford reporting "only" 97 degrees, but record-breaking low humidity of 23 per cent. Humidity as low as 15 per cent was reported Friday at Grants Pass. New seasonal heat records fell In many places where the all-time rec ords held.

The heat wave dipped as far south as Roseburg. where 104 degrees made previous marks for the year appear insignificant. Eugene, nan way De tween Salem and Roseburg, escaped with 99 degrees. Oregon coast towns enjoyed moder ate temperatures with Marshfield re porting 66-degree weather and Nortn Head at trie Columbia river mouth ft mere 62 degrees.

WASHINGTON, July 13. .TH In tensifying antagonism of organh-.etl business toward the new deal threat ens soon to s,7Rravato political res tlvencAs in congress. As this hot and temper-trying .v,ek closed tonight, uncertainty over ad justment combined with the crown- j Ing dispute over the Roosevelt "big- I nes" taxes to complicate problems of j tho leaders. How long attention could be kept primarily to the business in point was a quctsion seeming to vary with tho temperature. And the weather man helped little. President Roosevelt and an assort ment of his legislative and adminis trative captains, some of whom have been exchanging worm words of la-e, sought the cool of Chesapeake buy for the week-end. Sport was the an nounced surprise; but the list of those invited testified there was more than fishing to think about. For one thing, the president's oc casional letters to congressmen on matters of policy were considered by some democratic leaders to make their tasks harder. The one asking house committee to disregard pos sible skepticism over tho constitu tionality of the Ouffcy coal bill brought pointed but private critic's in among tho "higher ups," and At a ,time whetl they were wondering what effect pressure for adjournment would have on their ranks. The volume of capltol mall next week may affect tho answer. With many members pondering over what 1A36 will signify for them and their parties, testimony against the tax p roe mm today by the chamber of commerce of the United States re minded forcibly that main issues are not being contested along the old lines.

Senator Vandcnberg, Michigan re publican, said "the president should relax and congress should go horns." He added: "The nation Is in the grip of an epidemic of dread. Eaoh citizen is saying to himself 'I wish I knew.' It Is time to got off the merry-go-round." Both houses still have a lot of work to do, both on the floor and In conference committees.
