Cod ding announced today that tie would aeek re -election In the Democratic primaries aa dlatrlct attorney. He baa held the office tor two terms, and It la the opinion of county Democratic leaders he would have no opposition from his own party In the primaries. No Republican candidate tor the post has yet srlsea, but a number of ilodford attorneys have been mentioned aa probable candidates. Thev Include Attorney William R. McAllister. Cramer Deuel. Kenneth Denman, and Don R. Newbury. It Is also reported that Attorneys Prank j, van Dyke and William Brlggs of Ashland might cast their brief cases Into the ring. Dlatrlct Attorney George A. Cod ' ding Is the second Jackson county official alnce the first of the year to announce Intentions to seek re nor'.Vnstlon. The other was County Treasurer A. C. Walker. County Commissioner Ralph B. Billings of Ashland said today he still had under consideration whether or not he would seek renomlnatlon on the Republican ticket. Friends said he would probably tile, but with characteristic thoroughness was checking up before a formal and final decision.. . Democratic wheelhorses admitted a week ago they had sent out "feelers" to find an opponent for Billings, but were unsble to "find anvbodv In the south end of the countv" willing to make the race. The announcement last Saturday by Willis Mahoney of Klamath Falls that he would be a Democratic can' dldate for the U. S. senste, to op pose Senator McNary In the fall caused no excitement In Jackson county Democratic circles. The Klam ath Falls mayor conferred with local Bourbons on the subject 10 days ago and was not given any hope for the support he sought. Some Demo crats resented his entry, and so Informed the Klamath crusader. In the event the bill at the special election January 31 to change the primary date from May-to Septem ber, the prospective csndidates are expected to be more deliberate. newreuefrlan Mattesons Leaving For Philippine Is.

New Yorker of prominence wnoee name cannot be published. Mr. Du Pont's 1920 tax troublea also date from January 6, 1936, which was about two weeks after the Liberty leamia disclosed that the Du Pont family had contributed something like 8180.000 to combat the new deal. The troublea of the New Yorker also are recent. It seems that a banker friend of hla was caught In the crash of 1031. To help his friend, the New Yorker gave a considerable amount of his own money. This he charged off as a taxable loss. The Internal revenue bureau let it go for a long time, but recently began harassment. Thus. Messrs. Raskob, Du Pont and Mr. X Join a long list of anti new dealers. Including such notables the friends of Huey Long, An drew Mellon, Walter Brown, Jim Watson. You will, however, look In vain for any tax cases Involving the wealthy pro-new dealers like Ber nard Baruch, Straus, Astor, et al. The Inference behind that situa tion has been plain since the in terns! revenue bureau started out to break up the Long political ma chine with Income tax prosecution. It Is that. If you want to stay out of federal tax troubles, you appar ently stand a better chance on the new deal side. air liner Southerner In an Arkansas swamp. Twelve men, tour women, one child made up the 14 passengers and crew of three who rode the Ill-fated ship on the Memphis-Little Rock hop of the regular New York-Los Angeles flight last night. Part of eight of the'bodles were brought out of a dense swamp today. Cause Unknown They were brought out on a flat bed farm wagon, drawn by two mules which had difficulty In making the trip out of the marsh. The bodies were taken to a Memphl funeral home. A department of commerce official, viewing the splintered wreckage, ssld the causa of the accident probably never would be known. Plane and bodies were torn to bits as the liner crashed through a dense growth of trees, scattering plane parts and the victims over an area 400 yards long and about 75 yards wide. The wreckage came to rest In a water-filled bog. Among the victims waa W. R. Dyees, works progress administrator for Arkansas: and Frank O. Hart, wealthy New Yorker, president of the Hartol Product company. Crippled Coroner at Scene J, C. Crawford, aged, crippled coro ner of St. Francis county, was carried tortuously on a stretcher through the swamps to the scene before dawn to hold an Inquest. He was held aloft by four men. standing deep In water, aa he exam ined tho bodies, heaxd two farmera who said they saw the plane fall, and made notes In a small book by the light of lanterns. After the Inquest the coroner returned a verdict tnst all 17 died "by accidental airplane crash." On stretchers, the bodle which had been recovered were carried be fore him and. with the assistance of Cecil West of the Little Rock airport, who held a passenger list, he at tempted Identification. The first body to be Identified was that of W. S. Hardwicke of Beards town, m. Waeon Carries Bodies One shaky farm wagon, drawn by two mules, managed to get within 500 yards of the wreckage after bog ging down many times. It waa used to get the bodies out to the highway. a mile and a quarter away. Two farmera appeared before Coro ner Crawford' awampland Inquest to tell of seeing the twin-motored Douglas plane descend Into the woods shortly before 7:30 p. m. (central standard time) last night. Oaylord Dover of Palestine, Ark., testified he was walking along high way 70 Broadway of America route usually followed by the transconti nental ships through Arkansas when he saw the liner flying rather low over the adjacent woods. "The motor didn't sound right." he said. "Suddenly, the plane dipped down Into the trees. The motor quit, and the ship disappeared." Heard Motor Sputter ' Olenn Williamson, also of Palestine said he was rending at his home when he heard "the motor sputter," and looked out a window. "I saw It dip into th timber and crash," he said. Lake Llttlejohn, air Inspector for the department of commerce, eald he belteved it would be "practically Im possible to fix the cause." Formal Investigation by the de partment awaited the expected arri val of Jack Janes, Fort Worth divi sion airline Inspector for the depart ment of commerce, Mnll Recovered ' Postal officials from Little Rock gathered up what they could of the mall scattered through the woods and. after weighing It. said they thought all of It had been recovered. Th plan left Newark, N. J., yes terday afternoon, bound tor Los An gela. Gerald V.
