NAVY ENLISTMENT
QUOTA INCREASED
It is estimated that about 17,003
young men will be enlisted In the
United States navy during the fiscal
year beginning July 1, Ernest M.
West, recruiting officer here, stated
yesterday In describing the advan
tages of a naval career.
The allotment represents an in
crease over the . authorized enlist
ments for this year and so the oppor
tunities for promotion should be
greater, Mr. West said. During the
current year more than 33,000 men
received advancements, he added.
To procure highly skilled technic
ians the navy now gives specialized
training In more than 50 trades and
professions, more than 50 per cent
of the men today being navy -schooled
specialists, Mr. West said.
These craftsmen, he assorted, are
paid S60 to 1 57 a month In addition
to board and lodging. Free medical
and dental care, opportunity to trav
el, athletic pastimes and entertain
ment were other advantage? of a
naval career cited by Mr. West.
Only young men between 17 nnH as
who are otherwise qualified are eligi
ble for enlistment. Anvons wiirtro
detailed Information may write or
consult Mr. West at his office In the
Medford federal building.

siderable portion of the time, weather

and a myriad other fields had
forced him to curtail his activities
He had forsaken his golf, his church-
going, and his whimsical practice of
giving away shiny new dimes. But
his hope of becoming a full-fledged
centenarian seemed likely to be fulfilled.
Then, last Friday, he became rest
less. He complained that he could
not sleep. His condition was regard
ed by no means as alarming, how
ever, and he was taken downstairs
in an elevator and wheeled out into
the garden. For several hours, he
basked in the Florida sunshine and
appeared refreshed.
on Saturday morning he conferred
briefly with his senior secretsry.
Ward Madison.
"I am very tired," he said wist
fully.
At noon. John D. Rockefeller, Jr..
made a routine telephone call from
New York and was assured there was
no immediate cause for alarm and
nothing about his father's condi
tion to warrant a special trip to
Florida.
Coma Before End.
Saturday night he lapsed Into a
slight coma. The heart that drove
him through all the tempestuous
years of building an "oil empire.'
pulsed with a slowly weakening
tempo.
At 3 a.m., he roused to murmur
something to his valet of 20 years.
John.H. Yorkdl.
He asked to be rniscd higher in
his bed, and when It was done, he
whispered thinly:
"There, that's better."
So far as is known, they were his
last words. Apparently he had no
realization that the end was near.
He closed his eyes, and two hours
later, in the hush of the Sabbath
dawn, he breathed his last.
Beyond the statement that his
estate was "relatively small," no Im
mediate Information was forthcom
ing as to how much the one-time
multi-millionaire retained for his
own personal needs.
He had disposed of most of his
vast holdings, however, as early as
1022. In that year, according to a
report to congress, he paid a tax of
only $12,063.03 on his net Income.
One Day a Year.
Almost a legendary figure to gen
erations whiah have grown up in
the past 30 or 40 years, the "modern
Midas," as he was sometimes called,
bobbed Into public attention with
clock-like regularity once a year on
his birthday.
Otherwise, except when his natal
anniversary brought forth the family
pictures of his frail, stoop-shouldered
figure with the silvery toupee,
the sunken, parchment-like face and
deep set, twinkling blue eyes, he
lived in seclusion an almost for
gotten anachronism of America's
roaring industrial pioneer days.
Yet to the last he clung tenac
iously to life. He was supremely
confident he would reach 100.
Then," he said, with a quiet
chuckle, Til really begin to liw!"
I'nrealtzed Dream.
" His major concern. In the lsst two
decades, was to prolong his life as
much as possible. Physicians con
stantly checked on his physical con
dition, watching his diet, regulating
his exercise and relaxation. His
habits were clock-like, all ordered
with a view to conserving his health.
Although his sight had dimmed in
recent years, he retained acute hear
ing to the end. and It was said that
he could "hear a whisper clear across
the room."
Despite his advanced years, he
kept well Informed on current world
events, having his secretary read him
the newspapers every morning. It
was said he followed with keen In
terest the romance of former King
Edward VIII and his American -born
bride-to-be. Mrs. Wall la Wsrfleld.
The man who earned pennies at
7. dollars at 10 and untold millions
at 70. pyramiding his savings into
the Standard Oil trust which once
controlled three-fourths of the coun
try's petroleum output, turned alt
his energies in the last half of his
life to giving millions away.
''I believe It Is every man's relig
ious duty to get all he csn honestly,
and to give all he can," he said
once.
He practiced his precept to a
greater extent, both ways, than any
other figure in history.
Institutions In far lands benefitted
to the extent of huge sums from his
highly organized beneficence uni
versities, hospitals, scientific research
laboratories, churches and other wor
thy causes flourished under the gen
tle rain of Rockefeller dollars.
His greatest contribution was to
the Rockefeller foundation, which re
ceived a total of 182 .85 1.480.90.
while other major donations In
cluded $129,209,187.10 to the general
education board. t59,931,891.62 to the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search, and 34.708.37fi.28 to the
University of Chicago.

"At least the Inference Is permis

Relief Xeed Weakened
"On the other hsnd. fulfillment of

"Duplicated taxes, or burdens that

wages, unduly long hours, or under
conditions which violate the rights
of labor by the use of strike-breakers
or spies."
40c Hour Minimum ,
Connery told newsmen the bill
would establish a 40-cent "floor" be
low which "the hourly wage ought
not to fall" and a 33-40 hour work
week "beyond which the working
week should not be stretched."
The labor board would have broad
power to adjust these llmttitlons for
Individual industries.
Allowing for a few exceptional
trades and permitting longer hours
on the payment of time and one-
half for overtime, the president said
a "general maximum working week"
should not "be difficult to define."
"Allowing for appropriate qualifi
cations and general classifications by
administrative action," he added, 'lt
should also be possible to put some
floor below which the wage ought
not to fall.
liars Child Labor
"There should be no difficulty In
ruling out the products of children
from any fair market.
"And there should also be little
dispute when It comes tp ruling out
the Interstate markets products of
employers who deny to their worker
the right of self -organization and
Collective bargaining, whether through
the gear or labor spies, the bait of
company unions, or the use of strike
breakers. "The abuses disclosed by the Inves
tigations of the senate must be
promptly curbed."
The president said the proposed
federal legislation should be "a stim
ulus and not a hlnderance to state
action."
Although a good portion of .the
floods of American' Industry move In
Interstate commerce and will be cov
ered by the legislation recommended,
he said there were many purely local
pursuits and services which no fed
eral legislation could effectively cov
er. "No state la Justified," he said, "in
sitting Idly by and expecting, the fed
eral government to meet atate re
sponsibility for those labor conditions
with which Ihe state may effectively
deal without fear of unneighborly
competition from sister states,
'Our problem," he said, "la to work
out In practice those labor standards
which will permit the maximum but
prudent employment of our human
resources to bring within the reach
of the average man and woman a
maximum of good and of services
conducive to the fulfillment of the
promise of American life."

PORTLAND, May 34. (AP) A

Trout season opened at Diamond

Delore Sullivan. They took the limit
using tandem spinners and night

The Heckert brothers, Johnny, Al
bert and Otto also caught the limit,
It was reported.
Butte Creek, according to Harold
Grey, Is still rather high for good
trout fishing, although they are
