(Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON; July 24. All you
have heard about the troubles of the
Hopkins relief administration la only
half the atory.
Problema and
counter - prob
lema are piling
up so rapidly
that some top
men associated
with the en
deavor are begin
ning to get dis
couraged. They
wonder whether
they will ever
get the thing
straightened out.
For instance,
PAUL MALLON
General Johnson has been receiving
a liberal education In amazing situa
tions, other than boondoggling, since
he started out to show how relief
should be administered in New York.
Those near to him are complaining
about the difficulty of getting relief
workers to accept a "security" wage
when other workers down the street
are getting "prevailing" (mostly un
ion! wages on government contract
projects. They whisper that, on Au
gust 1, Johnson must order wage
cut for his clerical staff, reducing
them to & "security' wage. There is
some fear that this may lead to
strikes in the strangest of all places
the relief headquarters.
Note An Inside estimate ia that
Mayor La Guardia has about 22,000
administering relief in New York
City.
The Hopkins headquarters here has
been frantically accepting and re
jecting new ideas for geting rid of
relief money since the original pro
gram had to be thrown out, A novel
road-building scheme is one of the
latest faTored plans. You may hear
of it soon.
The wbftne is to set aside a large
sum (close to half a billion dollars)
for constructing "farm-to-market"
roads .This construction would be
done directly by the government. (A
security wage would- be paid).
It has nothing to do with the orig
inal 4400.000.000 already allotted for
road building under private contracts
in which the states cooperate. Nor
would it interfere, apparently, with
an additional $400,000,000 which may
be allocated for a similar purpose
later. (On these projects a prevailing
wage is paid),
Apparently this relief business Is
narrowing down to a choice of road
building and boondoggling, or :oon
doggllng and road building. If you
add to these choices the complex
question of "security" and "prevail
ing" wages, you will see that the
trouble has only started.
'did
The Yankee traders at the state
department wheedled that Soviet
buying promise out of Commissar
Litvinoff by gently holding an ax
over his head. Whether the promise
amounts to much or not, here is the
way it came about:
State Secretary Hull and Ambassa
dor Bullitt at Moscow got their
minds together via code-cable and
decided the Soviets would have to
give up something to get the tariff
4 concessions which they expected to
get free. The trade law provides that
all nations which do not discrimin
ate against us must receive the trade
advantages which we specifically give
to other countries. In pril, President
Roosevelt signed an executive order
listing the Soviets among non-discriminatory
nations. Thus, the reds
expected to take advantage of the
60 per cent tariff reduction on man
ganese contained in our Brazilian
trade agreement not yet ratified .
s well as other tariff concessions
already granted to Belgium, Haiti
and Sweden.

S PUNCTUATED BY
LIGHTN1NGD1SPLAY
Two Knocked Down by
Lightning Corn and Al
falfa Leveled 0.75 Inch
Rain Falls in 30 Minutes
The ripening pear crop of Rogue
River valley escaped appreciable dam
age, H was determined today In
survey made by the county agent's
office, from the violent thunder
storm that left a dripping, wind
swept swath across the center of the
valley last night after one of the
heaviest deluges of rain seen here In
years.
Lightning, striking repeatedly at
transformers, power lines and aerial
wires throughout the valley, caused
greatest extent of the damage, but
farmers also reported loss from the
wind, rain and hail, which laid fields
of corn and alfalfa flat In several
sections.
Two Knocked Down
Two persons were knocked flat by
bolts of lightning which struck near
by, Everett Brayton reported that he
was knocked down when a pine tree
100 feet from the porch where he
was standing, at his Hollywood orch
ard home, was cleaved from top to
bottom by lightning. Mrs. Ed. Pettit
of 635 Palm street told of a similar
experience when lightning struck a
transformer near her home.
An unusual occurrence was de
scribed by Earl May of 804 South
Newtown, who said a bolt of light
ning which struck an aerial wire
came through the window and
knocked the piaster from the wall of
his house. He had hooked the aerial
to the ground wire a few minutes
before, averting a possible fire.
Trees Leveled
City officials reported several large
trees either blown over or knocked
down by lightning within the city,
and yards and streets were strewn
with limbs and debris blown by the
gusty wind.
The trouble department of the Cal
ifornia Oregon Power company re
ported that calls were received from
all sections of the valley as lightning
blasted out power lines. Approxi
mately 1 00 transformers were re
fused, and 12 or 15 were burned out
at a loss of several thousand dollars,
according to Frank Stinson, general
superintendent of operations.
The fire department was called to
Catherine Court, where lightning that
struck nearby wires caused the rub
ber insulation to burn, but no fires
were reported In Medford as a result
of the storm.

storm filled the streets and covered

EAGLE POINT, July 3, (Spl
Mrs. Peter Belts of Reese Creek
escaped with only a severe nerv
ous shock Sunday when a bolt
of lightning struck the telephone
wires running Into her home. The
electrical charge burned the bat
tries of the Instrument, jumped to
a nail on the drain board of the
sink, leaped to a butcher knife,
leaving a saw-like edge on it, and
then darted to the drain pipe and
Into the ground.
Mrs. Bets had just finished
washing dishes and had stepped
back from the sink a few paces
when the fiery bolt sipped Into
the room and hopped about with
terrifying suddenness as a severe
electrical storm raged ever the

1200 ARROW PLANE
GIVEN INITIAL TRIALS
AT LOS ANGELES PORT
LOS ANGELES, July 24. API A
tuft-lees monoplane built to sell at
around CI 208, capable of a top speed
of 110 miles an hour and I3'i miles
on a gallon of gasoline, went through
its initial demonstration at the mu
nicipal airport today.
The plane la the product of Waldo
D, Waterman of Los Angeles. It is
one of the first of the experimental
planes called for by the bureau of
aeronautics of the Department of
Commerce in an effort to stimulate
production of low coat craft of high
safety factor for private pilots.
aterman calls his craft the "Ar
row Piane." It has a single wing, a
cabin for two passengers Is front, and
the motor and propeller In the rear.
The rudders are at the -wing tips.
The oddly -constructed ailerons also
act as elevators, and the rudders can
be flared out for landing brakes.
Waterman said that the plane
would be produced In a Los Angeles
factory if the Department of Com
merce accepted the model.
Waterman said the tall-less mono
plane cannot be stunted because of
Its inherent stability, hut can be
flown by a pilot of minimum experi
ence. The eray-haired Texas power head
denied he had given anything to con-
gressmen. j
The 192, he said, went to Peter j
