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

anxious to see our airport develop

that his organization would back
Medford's claim 100 percent and the

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."

robbed the Lindberghs of the curly
haired Charles A. 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

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.
