Raskob's 1839 Income tax stood approved by the MPA.w.HNfmH Internal revenue MHk. ' J hureau. It aud- denly developed spontaneous symptoms of a fraudulent plot In the early part of thla January, 1936. Mr. Rtitot said he thought the time of dis covery had some thing to do with the coming dln- iti!L mallon ner of hla and Mr. Du Pont'a American Liberty league. Mr. Raskob may have his dinners mixed. What he may not know la that the bureau charge against' him was filed in public record on January 8, two days before the Jackson day dinner. The bureau apparently was not very proud of It. At least, the record lay around four days until an alert newsman, with a sharper eye than hla colleagues, dug It out and published It two days after the dinner. If Mr. Raskob will scrape his memory, he may recall another thing that happened Just before the Jack son day dinner; say, for Instance, a certain communication he made to rostmaster-Oeneral Farley. He may recollect that It waa something to the effect that he wanted that 825,000 which Mr. Parley's Demo cratic national committee still owes him. Also something about suing tnv t.hft monev If the e.25,000 was not paid from all those thousands of dollars - , aRn-a-nlate dinner.

You may recall that Mr. Ras Icob held the mortgage on the oia democratic homestead, now Inhab ited by new dealers. FMley has been paying him off grudgingly, little at a tlrr.. During last May, June and Au gust, Parley paid Raskob 50OO a month, and last March he gave ,10.250. But he started cutting the payments down In the-fall. In Octo ber he gave only 4000, In Novem ber 82500 and December $2500. What the boys Inside would like to .see Mr. Raskob do Is to give n' remaining 825.000 debt aa a con tribution. They point as an example the case of Mr. Morgenthau (prob ably senior, but not Identified wltn the record). The committee owed Mr Morgenthau 610.000. but he wiped It otf the slate recently u a contribution. It la notable that Mr. Morgenthau has had no Income tax troublea. When Mr. Raskob attributed tax trouble to the Liberty league dinner, he must have had In mind two other fellowa. They are hla co conspirator.

The federal agents have been combing the city, explaining the finance features of the housing act to merchants. They have also been carrying out other educational fea tures of their program and today were considering the feasibility of erecting a model home to show graphically what can be obtained under the federal housing act. John H. Hoppes, Oregon field rep resentative, thla noon addressed the weekly meeting of the Lions club at Valentine cafe. He pointed out the advantages of new construction and equipment buying to the whole com munity, stressing that it la not the selling merchant alone who benefits.

"It la only the unintelligent use of credit that Injures the Individual and brings distress to Industry In general." he declared.

SCHEFFEL LAUDED A supplemental application for 130.000 of PWA fund to modernize the municipal airport waa being com pleted today for submission to the Portland office. Fred W. Scheffel, city auperlntend ent, was hastening completion of the application following conference yes terday and toCay with A. W. Martin, aeronautic consultant for WPA in Oregon, who canui from Portland to assist In the preparation of plana and specifications. The supplemental application will replace the one submitted by Med ford recently ; for $366,000. It was found that there waa not enough eligible relief labor available to carry out the $366,000 project and so re vision waa required, Mr. Martin told the Mall Tribune today. The grant of (130,000, he explained, la in addi tion to the 943,000 now being spent on the airport. About 275 men would be required to carry out the supple mental project and work, if the plan Is approved work would begin aa soon a the present airport Job la com pleted, he stated. "The supplemental project will give Medford a first-class terminal air port and It provides practically every thing contained In the original 9360, 000 plan,' Mr. Martin related. The procuring of the same results with substantially less money was made possible by the development of a hard surface material by Mr. Schef fel, Mr. Martin aald. Under the original plan, he ex plained, It waa Intended to use a costly patented plan mix for surfac ing the runways, but under the re vised plan a carboniferous ahale de veloped by Mr. Scheffel will be ultlllz ed, he stated. Testa show that the shale will s(and up under the weight of the largeat airplanes, he averred. The shale la located on the prop erty of F. W. Nelaon near the airport. The city council recently entered in to a contract with Mr. Nelson for the shale at ten cents a cubic yard, the city to get it out. Clearing work la now being done and It la expected that ahale removal will soon be under way. The revised plan call for the hard surfacing of the runways to sustain the largest ships; establishment of a main runway 6.400 feet long and 200 feet wide; a cross-runway 2,700 feet long and 200 feet wide; and exten sion of the drainage system,' Mr. Mar tin aald. Because of the cost of the patented mix only a 100-foot width waa to have been surfaced under the old plan, whereas use of the oil shale makes It possible to pave the run ways for their entire length and breadth, the WPA consultant related. The hangar. Including 'the office, la to be entirely repainted and re furbished inside and out, Mr. Martin aald. Immediate extension of the lighting system along the runway, as first contemplated, la not now necessary, he stated. Alternate atrlps of white limestone, ten feet long and four feet wide, however, are to oe placed along each runway for night and daylight marking, he explained, adding that such marking greatly aid pilot coming into a at range field. The runway baae will be eight inches deep and composed of rock and gravel, the bard surface to be four inche deep, Mr. Martin aald. " Mr. Scheffel deserves great credit for developing the oil shale a a sur facing material," Mr. Martin declared. "He haa worked hard and hla effort makes it possible to give the runways a hard surface for their entire length and width. Development of the ahale. If It proves successful, wilt mean much to this community, and there seem to be no doubt that It will prove successful. - KIPLING IMPROVED BY SECOND NIGHT'S REST LONDON. Jan. 15.
