OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1935 TELEPHONE RATE REDUCTION PLAN LAID BEFORE PUC Night Charge Will Be Ex tended to Longer Hours if Proposals Adopted Sunday Toll Cut Also Aim SALEM, Dec. IB. HAP) Night tele phone rates within Oregon, a reduc tion over regular day rates, will be extended to longer hours If the pro posals Informally discussed before the state publlo utilities commissioner are adopted. The American Telephone & Tele graph Co., of which the Pacific firm which operates in Oregon Is a sub sidiary, last week filed an over-Sunday reduced Interstate rate with the federal communications commission at Washington. The regular Inter state night rates have for some time been for a longer period than the Intrastate rates. Means General Seduction In addition to extended hours for reduced rates, the Pacific Telephone company also Indicated a desire to make rates In Oregon conform to the lesser Interstate regular charges for distances over 72 miles. Thla would require a general reduction. The third proposal was for Increased rates In the zone between 80 and 72 miles. Public Utilities Commissioner Frank C. McCulloch stated that In detail the three proposals would re sult as follows: 1. Extending the night reduced rates from 8:30 p. m. to 4:30 a. m. to the Interstate schedule from 7 p. m. to 4:30 a. m., on week days, and from 7 p. m. Saturday night through 11 Sunday to 4:30 a. m. Monday. Ore gon has no Sunday service of this type. 2. Decrease the rates In the zono over 72 miles, to conform to the In terstate schedule, by a total of 98, 000 a year less Income to the com pany. a. To Increase the rates In the 30 to 73. mile tone to the extent of (98.000. This would result In a net loss to the company of about S28.0O0 annually. Plan In Nelglitbnr States The Pacific Telephone 4t Telegraph Co. has made similar overtures to the utilities commissions of both Washington and California, Mccul loch said. No schedules have yet been filed, but both the company ' and the utilities commissioner are making a study of the effect of the Indicated changes. The Oregon commissioner, before mskuig any recommendation, will confer with the two other commis sions In order to get their reactions, he said. The Interstate night rate extensions are now In effect, McCulloch was ad wised. ' OFFICE HOLDER IS ING.P. GRANTS PAS8, Doc. 10, (AP) A Justice court Jury today convicted A.

Y PLAN FOR NEEDY Captain Durham, commander of the Salvation Army, today expressed his appreciation of the fine response on the part of citizens of Jameson county to his plea for funds and supplies to care for needy families and chil dren at Christmas time. "The re sponse this year," stated the captain, "has been very fine Indeed. We are still a long way from our goal, which Is supplies and money to care for at least one hundred needy families, but if the response continues throughout the remaining days until Christmas eve as well as In the past few days, thrre will be plenty for everyone and no family will go hungry on Christ mas day. We are particularly In need of canned fruit and vegtables, and will appreciate a call from any per son having either of these commodi ties to give." All baskets will be delivered on Christmas eve but names of needy families may be turned In until noon 6f that day. Every effort will be made to take a basket to every fam ily whose name Is received, regard less of their location. Names have been received from such widely scat tered districts as Trail, Ruch, Jack sonville, Forest Creek, Ashland, Phoe nil and Central Point. In some cases, according to Captain Durham, Insuf ficient sddress accompanies the re quest. Persons sending In names should explain In detail how to reach the family. The following request was received: "Mrs. M., 8 miles up creek from mall boxes," Through the files of another relief organiza tion we were able to trace this family but It Is evident that numbers of needy families will be missed unless proper Instructions are given as to how they may be found. The following supplies wilt be placed in each basket: Potatoes, oar rots, dry beans, rice, bread, butter, canned milk, sugar, shortening, meat roast, flour, tomatoes, canned fruit, Jelly, sweet potatoes, apples, candy, nuts and oranges. Inasmuch as other relief organiza tions are giving toys to children of needy families, the Salvation Army Is not sending toys with the baskets. All namps of families on the Christ mas basket list are being turned over to the Lady Lions and they will con tact these families regarding toys for the children. A Christmas tree and program will be given, howover, on Monday evening, December 33, to which all children are Invited. Candy, nuts, apples, etc., will be provided.

MAY OFFER SUBSTITUTE FOR NEW DEAUS AAA Group of Farm Specialists Being Selected to Draft Program Is Report Dems to Cite Success WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (AP) Some Republican leaders were re ported taking preliminary steps to day toward drafting a farm program which might be offered as a substi tute for the New Deal's AAA. O. O. P. circles were said to be quietly selecting a group of farm spe cialists to formulate what they con sider a workable program. The Washington Post said Harri son Spangler of Iowa, director of Re publican western headquarters, con ceded such a group is being formed. He declined to comment on Its prob able membership. The paper said there are uncon firmed reports that former Governor Frank O. Lowdcn of Illinois; Oeorge N. Peek, recently resigned as the president's adviser on International trade, and Dr. John N. Coulter, for mer member of the tariff commis sion, win be asKed to serve. Dems to Cite Success The plan. It was believed, might be submitted to party leaders when they gather In Cleveland next June for the national convention. Whatever the Republicans do, Roosevelt men said today that when Democartlc stump speakers swing Into action next year, they will emphasize that farm Income Is on the Increase, one of their chief defenses for AAA. The agriculture department esti mated that gross Income for farmers from crops, livestock and benefit pay ments will be a8. 110,000.000 this year, an Increase of nearly 13 per cent over the 7,260,000.000 for 1034. Prices the farmers received for crops were about 13 per cent less than last year, the department said, but heavier production for some crops raised ths aggregate considerably.

(AP) A gold craze, with the trails toward the luring diggings winding through legal technicalities, gripped the Owyhee dtBtrlct southwest of Nyssa today. The only thing preventing a wild gold rush with all the excitement and glamour of claim stklng. Is the fact that the Eastern Oregon Land company, owner of most of the terri tory, placed a mineral reservation right in all of Us contracts, veteran residents ds Glared. The strike a secret which leaked out was described by some old tim ers as the. biggest find ever made in eastern Oregon. Engineers axe go ing over the ground. Workmen digging a cesspool for the new home of i:rs. Florence Chass about eight miles from Nyssa dis covered the gold. The yellow matal was not of flour fineness, as In the gravel beds of Snake river, but In large coarse grains, it was reported. Samples of the strike made several weeks ago assayed so high that a shroud of secrecy was imposed at once. After the reported discovery the Eastern Oregon Land company gave permission to prospectors to work the ground. Purchasers contested the action. Other prospectors are drilling holes and digging throughout the area. Ac cording to reports, some ore finding pay dirt at from nine to thirty feet below the surface. Some of the ofi timers who have put moro money -Into the ground than they have taken out, are skep tical and bullcve the strike only a pocket. But the seriousness of residents near the find was Indicated when A. N. Pfelter repurchased, at an ad vanced price, the 40 acres he sold recently. Smoke Bothers Canaries CHICAGO. Dec. 10.
