WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Inside
the Whtto House, there aeems to be
more than a little personal dlaap
m as- . polntment at the
nrst popular re
action to the
d e a t b of the
farm program.

faded gradually
after those first post-AAA pictures
were taken. Tempers were less merry
thereafter. Also the executive offices
notably declined to give out tele
grams and lettera received by the
president, following the aecision.
The reason there was not more
AAA tslk from congress after the
decision was because the leaders se
cretly clamped the lid on there also.
The senate was purposely adjourned
for two days. House leaders ae
cllned backstage to afford opportu
nity for debate.
It was not hard to do. Congress'
men were eager to talk, but not
many wanted to talk out loud.
President Roosevelt's friends seem
ed to think that the country did
not fully understand at once the
Implications of the supreme court
decision. They thought it might
take months for the effect to sink
In.
This Is strangely like what they
said when the reaction to the NRA
decision waa less enthusiastic than
It could have been. The Inner . feel
ing then was that you would have
to Walt until the court threw out
some highly popular legislation like
AAA before any movement to liner
aim the constitution could be or
ganized.
Now they aay It la difficult to
popularise economic Issues. The peo
ple could understand prohibition
fully. It meant their right to drink
The NRA and AAA are farther away
from the everyday life of the aver
age citizen.
The reason the house Is so en
thusiastic about the Vinson bonus
bill Is that It appropriates upwards
of two billion dollars without
thought of where to get it. That la
what congressmen call "a lulu." The
term denotes the ultimate In legls-

ing Applegate Store
John Pernoll, 67, storekeeper In
the little town of Applegate, was
shot twice by a hold-up as he fled
from an attempted robbery at 7:16
p.m. yesterday, and la In a serious
condition today. State police, who
are investigating, said that Pernoll
had Just closed his storo last even
ing and was making his way home
for supper.
The bandit stepped out from be
hind a wood pile, where he had
been lurking, and ordered Pernoll
to return and open the store. The
thug, armed with a .32 caliber auto
matic pistol, was on the point of
forcing the storekeeper to accede to
this demand when Pernoll struck
him in the face with a can of con
densed milk he was carrying home,
knocking the man down and stun
ning him, whereupon Pernoll fled
for home.
Bandit Opens Hre.
After running about 50 feet and
lust as he was entering the gate oi
hla home, the bandit recovered ana
opened fire upon him. one bullet
striking Pernoll above the eioow oi
his right arm, tho other striking in
the hip, and emerging through the
groin In front. As the wounded man
fell, the robber ran up Denino mm
and beat him brutally about the
head, rendering him partially un
conscious, and Inflicting four deep
scalp wounds.
The attending physician staiea
today that the bullet through the
lower body had ruptured the fe
meral vein, causing a very serious
hemorrhage, and the condition ot
the man Is so serious that it has
been impossible to move him from
hla home to a Medford hospital.
Car I'sed In Escape.
Neighbors, hearing the shots and
the cries of the wounded man, ran
into the road, but no trace was
found of the bandit. The whir of a
starting auto motor at about that
time leads police to believe that
the thug fled In the direction of
Medford In a car. It was extremely

Launching of a "Townsend" party

Townsend.
"I am opposed to the founding of
a third party," McOroarty told the
United Press. "In my. Judgment such
action Is Inadvisable. I believe Town-
send supporters should concentrate
on electing members to congress who
favor the pension regardless of whe
ther they are republican or demo
crats." Dr. Townsend said the California
movement was "perfectly satisfac
tory" and that he had sent the word
himself for Sheridan Downey to
launch the party.
Sixty-one congressmen who sup

MORGAN EMPHATIC
IN DENYING FIRM
ENGINEERED PANIC
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. (AP) J.
P. Morgan whaled away today at a
senator's charge that his big bank
ing house brought on a foreign
exchange panic In 1015 In order to
force Woodrow Wilson to permit
loans to the allies.
Putting away his much-used pipe
the better to make his point, he
sternly told the senate munitions
committee his firm "never did such
a thing In our Uvea."
Repeatedly Senator Clark (D.. Mo.)
contended It was plain from docu
mentary evidence that Morgan's
support of the British pound wss
withdrawn, with resultant compll
catlona for America's booming war
trade to. force Wilson's hand. '
The banker replied the house of
Morgan had acted under orders from
onglsnd, for which It bought S3.000.
000.000 of goods In the war-time.
"They didn't give us their reasons
st sll times by any means," he
laughed, then added shsrply:
"Thero have been direct sccusa-
tlons that New York bankers brought
on the war. That Is one of the
things we hsven't been particularly
pleased with and one of the things
I wsnt to deny."
