MEDFORD Thirtieth Year MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1935 Xo. 103. liJ ji MAIL TRFJUNE o Hill .i i I TBIWEH s By PAIL MALLON Copyright, 1935, By Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, July 22. President Roosevelt Is closely following the rise of the opposition, tide through the press. He still reads the papers each day. gluing flrit attention to those which are slamming h 1 m hardest. Consequently, he was the first to wince when one of the bit terest of opposi tion writer pub lished an old Taft veto mes sage. In It, Mr. Taft belabored congress for sat GALLON isfying public whims by passing un constitutional laws It was apparent ly a pertinent point and struck deep. Other writers picked It up In good faith without Investigating It, and spread it broadcast. ' The president considered It so ser ious a blow that he looked into the matter personally. He discovered that Mr. Taft had sent auch a veto message to congress, but thflt con gress ' had passed the law over the veto and the supreme court actual ly upheld it constitutionality. In other words, the new deal antagon ist had left out the mot Important half of the story, which was that Mr. Taft waa wrong. The veto concerned the Webb-Kcn-yon act, which prevented shipment of liquor Into dry states: the message was sent to congress ,by Mr. Taft Feb. 28, 1913; congress passed it over the veto the same day; constitutionality was upheld by the supreme court in a suit brought by the Clark Distilling Co. In 1916; the decision was 7 to 2, with Justices Holmes and Van De venter dissenting. The president has filed away his evidence without saying anything, except to a few friends. He will prob ably use it in & speech during his coming western campaign. Thus, t, what was intended as a stiff blnw against him may turn out to be wind on his sails. He will be able to charge that he is being misrepresented. Some of the good republicans here began to manifest concern over this situation recently, without knowing about this particular incident. Tney have about decided that their opposi tion camp Is getting too big. Such attacks as those made by Senator Schell, for Instance, are embarrass ing to Intelligent opposition. For this reason and others, the re publicans now are casting about for an extra-good publicity man who can center opposition publicity along def inite lines. They want & man with executive advertising background, ca pable of outwitting the new deal publicity machine. Another thing which Mr. RoosevU has read with concern in the papers lately is that Huey Long called h'.m "a liar" and "a fraud" or something equally sitbtle. Letters have been coming into the White House from Mr. Roosev.-lt's followers, demanding that he do i something about such talk, that he stop letting It pass unnoticed. Answers have been sent out that the president will not and cannot do anything. He cannot reasonably com out with a denial saying he is a truthful and honest man. Nor can he lower the plane of executive pro- nouncement to Huey's level of per sonalities. Therefore, silent suffering will con tinue. Certain of the republican htg'n commanders are inwardly perturbed (Continued on Page Four) SIDE GLANCES by TRIBUNE REPORTERS Sandy Green,, after being robbed and asked what the robber said 1,'Nothln He didn't even say thanks, the ungrateful dog." .

By Rudolph Josten Associated Press Foreign Staff (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press) BERLIN, July 22. Wllhelm Frick, minister of the Interior, ordered all German state governments today to forbid all organizations of confes sional (Lutheran and Roman Cath olic) youth to wear distinctive garb or insignia, or to march together. The new order, a direct blow at the young members of the Lutheran and Catholic church "political or ganizations," followed within a few hours after Reichs fuehrer Hitler's newspaper Voelklscher Beobachter had ranked political Catholicism as 'Public Enemy No. 1" and in the midst of an lncreasedly heated nazl campaign against the Jews. Frlck's decree ordered the organ izations of confessional youth to refrain from all quasi-military and athletics sports. Termed React lonaries The full machinery of the nazl press was invoked In a general fight against political Catholicism and Jewry with both Catholic organiza tions and Jews Included in the term "reactionaries." From the palatinate came word that Catholic youth organizations can no longer wear their distinctive garb in public and may not display flags and emblems. They also were forbidden all athletic activities as organizations. It appeared but a question of time when all nazi district leaders throughout the Reich, will have is sued the same ban on Catholic youth organizations.

The semi-official news agency, Kuo Mln, at the same time published re ports denying rumors that young Mn already had two wives In China. Friends of the family were repre sented as pointing out that under Chinese law Lin is regarded as the son of two fathers and therefore en titled to marry twice.

C. HUNTER. Associated Press Staff Writer. SEATTLE, July 22. &) A gigantic cooperative movement by Wash ington state apple growers to eliminate large freight costs to the Atlantic coast through operation of their own ships was reported under consider.-. tlon here today. While refusing the use of his name. a Seattle man who has been in close contact with apple growers and ship pers in the central and eastern part of the state said such a movement Is well under way and purchase or con struction of two large refrigerator ships la contemplated as the first step in the program. "Such a program Is the only pos sible relief from the high rail rates the growers and shippers are forced to pay at present," he said. "Throuy;i operation or their own vessels the growers will be able to save close to 20 a ton on shipment to eastern coastal points." Hot urn Cargoes Seen The huge saving on freight costs on the fruit would not be the only advantage to the growers, he said, for by making purchase's through a co operative organization they would be able to use the ships for return car goes of nails, fertilizer, sprays and other product needed in the orch ards. Naturally, he added, the shlpa could not be xised for general cargo work, but would be available to cut the costs of equipment and materials produced in the east and needed by growers tn this suite. Such a program, placing the coop erative In the bus I nets of transport ing to market Its own product, would enable Washington growers to com pete more successfully on the eastern markets with apples from the New England states.
