the Medford district. There are plenty
of blossoma left."
"There were varying damages In
all the orchards, but those on the
lowlands suffered most. The situa
tion In the foothill areas is much
better."
"On the lowlands, there will be
not to exceed 50 per cent of a crop,
and probably less," Prof. Retmer said.
"Lower temperatures were experi
enced in the Talent-Phoenix district
than In the Medford areas. Only a
few of the Talent district orchards
smudged."
Prof. Reimer said the apricot and
peach crop of the Talent-Phoenix-Ashland
district were hard hit.
This morning the temperature
dropped to 28 degrees. No difficulty
was experienced In maintaining tem
peratures. 4
Inheritance Tax Heavy
SALEM, April 3. (A) Inheritance
taxes totaling 12.700.000 have been
collected by the state treasurer's of
fice during the past five years, a re
port Issued by Treasurer Rufus C.
Holman today showed.
(Continued from rage One)
said he considered McOroarty had
"abused his congreAsional privities."
Chairman BeU (D.. Mo.) and Rep
resentatives Holllster (R . O.) and
Hoffman (R., Mich.) disagreed. They
said If the copies were distributed
free McOroarty was within his rights.
"Pfl per cent" statement by James R.
Sullivan, committee counsel, but did
agree the paper carried "soma patent
medicine advertising."
Sullivan read to the high amuse
ment of the committee and specta
tors a series of advertisements from
the Townsend Weekly which made
claims to remarkable cures.
Clements, who said the weekly's
receipts were from S00 to 600 a
week in Marco 1935. testified he op
posed Insertion of some types of ad
vertising "because they were offens
ive" but denied the assertion of
Representative Dltter (R.. Po.) that
Dr. P. E. Townsend, aa a medical man,
Indorsed any of the cures advertised.
Townsend l'es Tablets
It ms brought out In later ques
tioning that Dr. Townsend was a user
of a certain tablet advertised In the
weekly.
Sullivan read a part of a letter
from Clements to C. D. Cert, adver
tising manager of the weekly. In
which he said "I wonder how much
they would pay us If we said Dr.
Townsend la never without the tab
lets and attribute his ability to
speak long and often to them."
Clements testified, inder question
ing, he was merely attempting levity
and the letter was facetious. Ha add
ed, however, that Dr. Townsend did
use the tablets In question.
The Clements letter further said
he himself had never taken sny of the
tablets, but that Dr. Townsend "says
the tablets have cured me of every
thing and eat them by the handa-
ful."
All In Fun
'Just for fun." Sullivan read the
letter. "I'll run one with a naked
woman In It."
Clements again said the letter was
facetious" and that human forms
were never permitted In any advertis
ing. He added that he had ordered
all advertisements referring to
"glands, rejuvenation, and get mar
ried at 120, and enjoy life at forty"
removed from the paper.
Sullivan developed through ques
tioning that Clements and Dr. Town-
send did not see eye to eye on this
Issue but denied It whb e, fundamen
tal cause of their rlf ht which resulted
In Clements' resignation.
"Does Dr. Townsend attribute his
economic Ideas to these tablets," ask'
ed Representative Cavanaugh (D.,
N. Y.)?
"Oh. no," Clements replied.
He said the paper owned by him
self and Dr. Townsend bad a clrcula
tlon at that time of about 100,000.
Clubs pay 3 Cents Copy
Under questioning by Sullivan, It
was brought out the papers were
charged to Townsend clubs at 3 cents
a copy, but there waa no return on
any copies.
Sullivan opened today's questioning
of Clements with an inquiry into
events In connection with the In cor
poration of the Prosperity Publish
ing company, publisher of the Town-
send National Weekly.
The weefcly, Clements said, was sent
out to clubs on the order of some in
dividual member. Sullivan's questions
disclosed that Townsend area man-
agers receiver a one cent "cut" out
of the three cents charged by the
Prosperity publishing company.
Clements testified Representative
McOroarty (D., Calif.) ordered 3,500
copies of his bill embodying the
Townsend plan, from the government
printing office. He said these copies
were distributed free to Townsend
clubs and that McOroarty was relnv
bursed for the cost of printing and
the regular charge paid.

one is convinced tlijSt this is a dra
matic and artistic treat seldom af
forded lovers of the drama In a small
community. It might well be a per
formance by a playhouse of cosmo
politan proportions.
The fantastic Jungle scenes, un
usually difficult to design and stage
convincingly, especially with the lim
ited budget available, have been cre
ated with ama7Jng success by Mrs.
Bowmer. whose artistry slways plays
a great part In these play produc
tions. Hlfh praise Is In store for the
work of Bob Bteadman In the title
role of Emperor Jones, a role calling
for the depiction of a wide scsle of
emotions.
The Cockney accent of the charac
ter. Smlthers, so difficult to repro
duce, has been adroitly mastered by
the talented actor-prod cer. Professor
Bowmer. who. with the presenatlon
of this play, demonstrates unmistak
ably the long strides he has taken
