Porter who has ben in Portland for two or three days on matters relative to Medford's airport returned to Medford yeeterday morning. Interviewed thte morning Mayor Porter made the following statement: "I feel very much encouraged over my visit to Portland. In the first ptace the connections which were made by Mr. Heath. Mr. Scheffel and Mr. Ban well last week proved very valuable and I believe that we stand a splendid chance of obtaining addl' tlonal funds for our airport develop, ment. "We made many contacts In Port land which will be extremely helpful and my Interview with E. J. Griffith state administrator of the Works Progreea administration, waa very en couraging. Naturally, without being In possession of our application Mr. Griffith could make no statement as to the eventual outcome of Medford's desire to obtain a federal grant, but I can say he was very courteous and encouraging. In the first place, he Is anxious to have airport project de veloped In the state. Then again, he Informed me that they were In need of extra projects from this county, He also assured me that upon receipt of our application the matter would be expedited and would be given every attention from his office. That naturally is as much as he could pos sibly say at the time. Stnub Helping "Dr. Raymond Staub of the state aeronautics board, certainly la an ar dent supporter of Medford. He Is as anxious to see our airport develop ment take place as that of Portland. And by the way, there will be three superbases as far as I can determine r In the state, Portland, Pendleton, and Med f ord a nd It wo u Id a ppear that Medford will be the first one There Is Still Time To Buy Practical Christmas Gifts TIRES fc BATTERIES CAR RADIOS and AUTO SUPPLIES AS LOW AS 25 C PER WEEK alLfcl L-J Charge purlin.r ntinlp tmiur npprnr en January Miitemrut, pnynhle leli rimry 10.

"Walter W. R. May, manager of the chamber of commerce assured me that his organization would back Medford's claim 100 percent and the same encouragement was given us by other organizations and Individuals who are anxious to assist us In ob taining the grant we want. "The application U In Portland now and Immediately we hear It has cleared through Mr. Orlfflth'a office we shall ask those Portland people who have consented to assist us, to contact Senator Mr Nary so that It can go through with a minimum of delay. I have never found a better spirit of cooperation In Portland than on this trip and J tv. reason ably sure that if our application meets with all the necessary govern ment requirements, It will lot be pigeonholed but will go through the regular channels In a mini n urn of time. Influence Pledged 'One or two business houses and banking Institutions in Portland also signified their willingness to cooper ate with Medford. If and when, we need their Influence I feel sure It will bt forthcoming." According to City Superintendent Fred W. Scheffel, Capt.

An other copy has also been submitted to Senator McNary and Tex Pankln, Portland aviator.

While in Portland Mayor porter and Mr. Banwell were entertained at luncheon by officers of the Aero club. each of whom expressed a desire to help Medford If their services were desired. According to Banwell, Mayor Porter was accorded a rather unusual honor in that he went to a hearing being conducted by the city council of Portland and attended by over 200 persons. Although the meeting was Important Mayor Joe Carson of Port land took time off to Introduce Mayor Porter to each of the city councllmen. CALLS BOUT OFF NEW YORK, Dec. 33.

Lindbergh, Jr., for whose death In 1932 Hauptmann has been sentenced to death. They will retain American citizen ship but plan to live in England an Indefinite time, perliaps permanently. They left Saturday midnight from New York on the steamship Ameri can Importer, a freighter of 7600 tons with few facilities for passengers. Colonel Lindbergh's work as tech nical advisor to Pan-Amerfcan Air ways, officials said today, will be continued, despite his residence s broad. Lindbergh sat In the Flemington courtroom at every session of the sensational Hauptmann trial, and was a star witness against Haupt mann. One phne of the appeal from i Hauptmann's conviction was based i on this fact, Hauptmann's counsel contending the presence In court of the New York-to-Parls flier was pre' Judicial to Hnuptmnnn's Interests. Silent Slnre Trial During all the recent developments In Hauptmann's case, including the visit to the death cell by the New Jersey governor, Lindbergh had per sistently declined to comment. His testimony at Flemington. delivered calmly In a tense courtroom, was that the voice of the extortionist to whom $50,000 ransom money was paid In a Bronx, N. Y., cemetery was "the voice of Hauptmann." Colonel- Lindbergh 1 is known to hold the opinion there la greater re Bpect for law and order in England than In his natlvo country where his own experience with kidnapers has been so tragic. Ever since the birth of Jon In August, 1932, six months after the kidnaping of the first born child. It has been necessary to provide body guards for the Infant and to sur round his movements with utmost secrecy. Since coming into world promi nence after his New York to Paris flight In 1927, the formerly unknown "Slim" Lindbergh, air mall pilot, has constantly sought for a return of some semblance of the anonymity that was previously his. Shuns Publicity Unlike most other celebrated fig ures, Lindbergh has attempted to avoid public notice. The kidnap murder of his child was a. tragedy t hat lifted his name again Into black headlines and made It once more a matter of dally conversation thruout the country. The "dream home" at Hopewell. N. J., has been deserted almost since the spring of 1032 when police, de tectives and federal agents were there seeking clueB to the crime committed In the little upstairs nursery. Reminder as It was of great trag edy, the house waa no longer desir able to the Lindberghs as a home. The colonel's counsel later an nounced the estate was being given over as a center for child welfare wcrk. Details of the property trans fer, however, were not disclosed. Nothing has yet been done, and the estate remains untenanted. Since the days of the kidnaping the Lindberghs have made their lClMmw-BJ SEE IF YOU CAN BUY I L Tri STAIGHT ill I Old home at Englewood, N.

ARNSPiGER RELATES DETAILS OF TRIP AT AT Olen Amsplger was the speaker at the noon luncheon program of the Kl wants club today, recounting the highlights of a recent tour to Wash ington, during which he visited 27 states. Amsplger told the group that his trip had three objectives, namely, the furtherance of the Medford Irrigation district to borrow $125,000 from the reconstruction finance corporation for a dam on the south fork of the Bgue, to help the refinancing of the Talent Irrigation district, and to contact army men relative to the es tablishment of a super-army alrbase here. The necessity that all PWA projects be completed before June 30 of next year will probably bar the Medford Irrigation project, Amsplger said, al though plana for the Talent project have gone through. Relative to the alrbase hero. Amsplger said that high army officials were noncommittal, saying only that Medford was being considered. He told the Klwanlans that his own personal opinion on the matter, although based on no actual statements, was that the officials were leaning more In the direction of the Puget Sound country than southern Oregon. Amsplger recounted his experiences In Washington. Mount Vernon and 1 New York, aa well as describing briefly his stay In New Orleans.
