MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKU, OREGON, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1935 PAGE THREE WILL UPSET WHEN I Will Rogers threw an Oklahoma lasso around the hearts of a nation But one time, long before he had brought a nation into laughing sub mission by hLs wise-cracking, gum chewing, rope-throwing. Will became so despondent over his failures in throwing the lasso that he wept, cut his rope and went to sea. W. C. Field, famous comedian of the stage and screen, and pal of Will Rogers thru out the latter's stage and screen career, is authority for the story. "Will loved to tell the story of how he went to South America to teach the gauchos to lasso cattle. 'Those gauche,' said Bill, 'stood about a hundred yards behind me, threw their lariats over my head and roped their cows after I had missed on my throw. " 'I felt bad, I can tell you. 1 even cried about it and cut up my rope.' "BUI said that after that disap pointment he accepted a position as chambermaid for a parcel of mules being Bent to Durban Natal, south eastern Africa, but he came back to make millions laugh." Handicapped children will be the principal beneficiaries of the Will Rogers memorial fund. By handicap ped children the memorial commis sions means those suffering from blindness or other physical disabil ities; those who have been victims of Illness who can be brought back to partial or complete activity through expert medical attention; those without parents or whose parents lack the money to give them the pro per shelter, schooling and home care. If you wish to help keep the spirit of Will Rogers alive in this work so close to his heart, bring or send your subscription to this office. It is the aim of the commission to have mil lions of Will Rogers friends partici pate. It Is not the size of the sub scription, but the subscription Itself that Is Important.

'.WM1 r i Miiknii Hi JERSEY GOVERNOR DENIES PLANNING FIGHTFOR BRUNO (Continued. From Page One.) for clemency, the death sentence would not bo disturbed and Haupt mann would be executed.' Asked whether his conference witn Hauptmann in the state prison death house and later with Dr. Erasmus Hudson, a defense witness, and the defense attorney "indicat ed" there was some doubt in his mind as to Hauptmann's guilt, the governor replied: "It indicates no such thing. No one In the world knows how I'll vote on this thing. Some people say my moves are political. They are not political. If it could be proven to me that not only Haupt mann. but any man Is innocent. I wouldn't be moved by popular clamor or maudlin sentiment if I never got another vote, it is a matter of duty to satisfy myself about this case. I've got the greatest burden." Wife Silent The governor said that Mrs. Hoff man had "refused" to comment on the case to inquirers. The Jotirnal quoted her as saying she was "sorry" for Mrs. Anna Hauptmann and the couple's child. The governor steadfastly declined to reveal what took place In his Interview with Hauptmann. He Just ified his visit by saying the case was before the court of pardons "from the moment there was ft conviction." Asked if he had any new evidence In the case, the governor said the only thing before him was "rep resentations by both sides." Some persons, including Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the governor said, think Hauptmann guilty, and others. Including Ellis Parker, Burlington detective, think him innocent. The governor denied he had in his possession an affidavit purport ing to show the ladder evidence was "framed." The governor left for Detroit to attend a safety council meeting to day. He said he would return to night and denied the trip had any relation to the Hauptmann case. Be correctly corseted in an Artist Model by sthelwm B Hoffmann. resses Oregon Dean 1 VIRGIL D.

First symptoms of thaw have now been noticed. Prob nbly the FRS had nothing to do with it, but, at any rate, the test of the policy pressure is Just now about to be mado. Thus, it Is hardly reasonable to ex pect thnt the board will reverse itself with vigor. If the highest further disclosed their minds on this most Important issue (it involves inflationary or de flationary pressure from Washington), they would say: It Is true that the FRB open mar ket committee bought government bonds In the open market to offset a deflationary movement which now has ceased. Instead of gold going oi.i, U in now coming into the coun try. Likewise. It Is now true that the treasury refinancing program Is com pleted.

The sum total of all these reactions to the advisory council demand, therefore, seems to amount to one simple word: "No." Note Remember, also, that the present federal reserve boardsmen are now anxiously awaiting reappoint ment to the White House. The best tea-table story of the budding social season la the one about a Washington society leader and a governmental commission. It seems that this commission Is one of those obscure overworked gov ernmental authorities which meet once a year, or theroabouts. Its Aug ust meeting for this year was held here a few weeks ago. The commis sioners, including some representa tives from a foreign land, wcra invit ed by the society lady to tea. The big day for the commissioners saw them properly arrayed m striped pants and authoritative stiff collars. They made a very dignified formal appearance in the salon of their of ficial hostess, but were somewhat dis concerted to find her missing. Her secretary explained ahe had been de layed on business. Their feet began to ache after half nn hour of shifting their weight from one to the other. Then the absent lady blew In through the door on a wintry blast.

The secre tary took the rap, as they say In Tammany social circles, explaining that she had neglected to remind her mistress of the engagement. The lady herself made a gracious apology and said she would Join the party as soon as she could dress. She must have been delayed at this, also. The commissioners, after waiting until their feet were fairly screaming, decided unanimously that they had other engagements. They left to rest up for another next year.
