PITT ...9 PENN The Weather Forecast: Fair Sunday and Monday; cooler Monday. t TEMPERATURE Highest restf rday ......6R-4 Forest yesterday , 29.T Thirtieth Year ' By Paul Mallon Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 A personal poll has been made among the best New Deal minds on the question: "What comes after the breathing apell?" The answer seems to be that nobody In the New Deal knows. At least no mind could be found with any Ideas regarding new re forms beyond those already started, although there are plenty of yet unexpress ed thoughts har bored by New PAUL MALLON Dealers for ex- panslon of the reforms already Ini tiated. For Instance, the money muddle Trill have to be straightened out eventually, but no one has any clear notion yet as to what can be done, coming reorganization of the federal reserve board may strengthen new credit and banking policies along lines already projected, but no new legislation Is now considered possible. The social security program wUl be expanded next year, or the year fol lowing. The AAA crowd has not the slightest notion . what It will do If the supremo court throws out the processing tax system, or what the ultimate permanent arm policy will be. Thla does not mean that there are not a lot of fragmentary notions flut tering about the Inner vacuum. Fore most, among these are various plans for heavier high-bracket Income tax es, a permanent relief program, etc. Most are considered to be politically unfeasible for .the immediate future. The next move seems to depend on time and tide. Only people with good memories ' will recall that President Roosevelt sent letters months ago to Senator ' Harrison and Chairman Doughton asking them to have their staffs work on NBA reorganization during the The only ataffs they have are the tax experts employed by the Joint congressional committee on taxation. This staff appears not to have given a thought to the NRA. In fact, noth ing has been done in the way of a atudy and Doughton will not be back from the Philippines Junket until December 20. Note The largest question In con gressional circles now la what would happen tf the Philippines boat sinks. The vice president, speaker and many Influential leaders are aboard. Also there Is Idle but amusing speculation as to- how President Roosevelt would go about holding a special session, for Instance, to declare war, with most of his congressional bigwigs In the Far East. MMa Rumors about a $5,000,000 Republi can campslgn fund to beat Mr. Roose velt are only rumors yet, but the ultimate amount will probably be many times that sum. Republicans ara getting real green money now for the first time In five years. Many Individuals adversely affected by the new deal program seem to be easier to contribute, some fixing their con tribution at the amount of their cur rent quarter's Income tax payment. , The new deal has monopolized I movie publicity for the past three years, but the Republicans are also edging Intc that now. One movie producer Is filming a story based on the constitution. Also the O.O.P. headquarters Is contemplating a series of shorts, first of which la entitled "Freedom at the Cross Roads." The answer to the flight of gold from Europe will ?ome naturally If the European war scare crow la burled soon. Much of the gold may return to Its native haunt, becauM It was not sent here In the payment of debts to sny large extent. In effect, we are acting only as a safety deposit vault. The return trip should have no more i real economic significance than the " trip over. The liberal wing In congress U strong for Borsh but not for the presidency.

L THIRD TRIAL IN FEDERALCOURTS Decision Monday On Re moval Of Murder Hearing From Santa Clara On Prejudice Grounds. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28. (UP) Defeated In repeated attempts to have his case removed from Juris diction of Santa Clara county courts, navld A. Lamson tonight awaited a federal court decision to learn, whether hla last desperate effort to shift the scene of hla third wife murder trial will meet success or failure. , Judgment rested In the hands of Federal Judge Harold Loud orb a ck, who took under advisement two legar"mbvesvfiied".ri U. S.- district court today by Leo R. Friedman, chief defense counsel, seeking a temporary restraining order to pre vent start of Lamson trial In San Jose Monday. Friedman also asked that Superior Judge R. R. Syer be ordered to show cause why the case should not be transferred to federal court here for trial. After deliberating the defense re quests briefly today, Judge Louder back announced he would rule on the motions Monday at 9 a. m.. one hour before the San Jose court Is scheduled to convene for opening of Lamson's trial. Friedman's move was a follow-up to a motion for change of venue. denied by the San Jose Judge. Insisting that the former Stan ford university press employe can not obtain 'fair and unbiased" trial In Santa Clara . county, Friedman argued that the federal court should assume jurisdiction. "False and malicious rumors" have been spread through the county to the effect that Lamson had con- I fessed murdering his wlf. that he was a dope fiend, a degenerate and a homicidal maniac, Friedman ar- guedd. He said reports had been circu lated that a prominent attorney (Louis O'Neal) refused to defend Lamson because he believed him guilty. Former Sheriff William Emig used Lamson's case as a campaign Issue, he pleaded, arguing that these ru mors had created a fixed opinion among the people of the county. f.

With Veto Threatened For Old Site Bill Deluge Of Bills No Surprise. SALEM. Ore.. Oct. 26. (UP) The battle over the site . for the new capltol building raged unchecked to night although the special session of the legislature was In adjourn ment until Monday. Governor Martin may veto a Din providing use of the small old site If the legislature passes It, some observers believed. Although silent on this possibility-, the governor loosed a blast at unwillingness 01 the city of Salem to contribute, more than 150,000 to purchase ad ditional land. "It le my belief the city of Salem should come forward with a volun tary offer to contribute generously to the cost of buying land," aald Martin. "Salem should assist In the pur chase of any alte, but If we are to buy Willamette university cam pus, . the city should contribute 300.000 or 380,ooo towara tne cot. "Had I thought for one mlnnte that the new capltol was to be lo cated on the measely old site. I never' would have asked President -Roosevelt fee a grant, Tor put. t?-t building on a narrow strip or live acres would be a reflection not only upon the people of Oregon, but also upon the president." ,. The Salem city council already I pledged to aubmlt to the city voters at a special election, 8138.000 bond Issue to assist in purchasing Bush's pasture for the university, and the campus for the capltol. It waa learned that the admin istration bill now before the legia lature, one of three, would not per mit purchase of the campua unless amended. It provides for purchasing not less than 38 acres In addition to the old site. The campua la only 18 acres. Martin's only comment that might be Interpreted as a veto threat was that "it would be better not to build the capltol at all than not to build It right." He said he waa disappointed but not surprised, that of 35 bills Intro duced In the senate and 11 In the house In the first week of the ses sion, only four referred to con struction of the atatehouse. "What place have bills for repeal of the egg grading laws and sucB things In a special aeaalon' like this?" Inquired the governor. The Orange and other Interests iopposed to- the purchase of addi tional land marshal their etrengin for a test on the laaue next week. Meanwhile, legislators' minds were further diverted from capltol con struction by a warm patronage fight. Rep. Vernon D. Bull. (Dem.) Onion, and Rep. Earl Hill. (Rep.) Lane, opposed each other for con trol of 184 Jobs on the session pay roll. ' Bull waa the chief aUpporter of Speaker Howard Latourette and la patronage manager for the Demo crats. Hill, floor leader of the Re publican at the last session, lost strength by barking Henry , Bemon, (Dem.) Klamath, In the speaker race. Out of the row came the firing of Walter Elliott, Oregon City, veteran chief clerk of the bills and mating room, and three other Repubican employee. T PROFITS BETTER SAN PRAKOISOO. Oct. 38.
