Father Coughlln has penetrated the robust hides of the house democratic lead era. His radio attack on them for fgrw- -kt- bottling up the Inflation bill haa stirred them more personally, than anything this session. They will prob ably not give him the satisfaction of knowing It, but they have decided their prestige la 9 1 stake. They are turning the Issue' PAUL MALLON into a teat of personal loyalty among their followers. One Influential house authority, named "pat". Is making the defeat of the bill his life work. The result Is that the three billion dollar Inflation bill, which might have passed the house under ordinary cir cumstances, now appears to be slip ping. The personality element has off set the effective lobbying of Cough Hn's man, Louts Ward. At least the leaders can show you on paper that they can lick the bill even If a tote la forced. Therefore, they may have a vote. Heaviest of the polltlcos here have been tipped to keep Uielr eyc on the McMullen court martial.

ELECTRICITY USE IN HOME IS TOPIC Dr. George Allison, known aa the "Billy Sunday of the Electrical In dustry," who represents the Edison Electrical Institute of New York, entertained the members of the Rotary club today with an addresa upon the part electricity plays In the home. A number of guests, in cluding officials of the California. Oregon Power company, gathered at the Hotel Medford with the Rotat iana -to hear..Rr,. .Allison' .,enlight; ening talk. 4,The electrical Industry Is a young and technical one," Allison told hla audience. "There la a psychological problem Involved," he said, "a the wide-spread assumption that elec trical service la too expensive la due to a lack of understanding of the industry." Unlike other commodities, electricity la Intangible, the speaker pointed out. It la a commodity that requires no personal responsibility. Allison explained the differential between production and consump tion cost of electricity In comparing such commodities as foods, clothing and shoes. The finished product as It enters the home, costs many times the original raw materials due to the many phases of producing the completed commodity, he pointed out. A definite need for public understanding of the electrical in dustry through a program of drama tization waa suggested by the speaker. H. D. Kem, assistant salts man ager in charge of advertising for the California Oregon Power com pany, introduced Dr. Allison at the luncheon. -t A. C. Walker, county treasurer, yes terday formally filed his declarations to seek the Republican nomination for the office, at the May 18 primary.

Coleman, all on the Re publican ticket. Other filings are: William Bruin, of Talent, for county commissioner on the Republican ticket, and Ray Schu macher of Talent for county treas urer on the Democratic ticket "Has not this allrer-brlck artist the understanding to see the Inconsist ency of his position as he stands be fore the altar with one hand on the gospel and the other engaged In counting the speculative silver he has acquired?" Boland said. Orowing more vitriolic as ht pro gressed, Boland shouted: "God keep America safe and bleaa members of the legislature who have courage to resist the self-seeking demagogue whr wruld betray Amer ica as Judaa IxUijvd the Savloua (or a handful of allver." As he finished. Representative Sweeney (D., OhJO marched down in- j to the well of the house to "thank God for Father Coughlin." I "I thank Ood. he said, "thst the I constitution 'it not suspended and we .till have the right of free speech.
