PORTLAND, June SO. (AP) This
Inland harbor near the junction of
the Columbia and Willamette rivers
drops a bit of romance and a lot of
money today with the sailing of the
General Pershing for the Orient.
When the Pershing, one of the
"three white steamers" maintaining
direct, regular passenger service to
.the Orient for the last five years,
split the Columbia river swells on
the way to the Pacific, the color and
ceremony of passenger embarkment
went with her from Portland.
Strikes, government regulations and
depression years one by one elimi
nated Portland's passenger service.
The States Steamship company and
Its three vessels on time charter from
the United Fruit company the Gen
eral Pershing, General Lee and Gen
eral Sherman was the last to go.
The States management, bidding fare
well to the Pershing, said the with
drawal of government msll subsidy
aid for the Portland fleet meant ter
mination of the passenger accommo
dations. Ships .to Atlantis,
IT-eral Penning will not re
tVTjto the harbor. After she com
pletes her voyage to the Orient, she
will be at the disposal of the United
Fruit. The Sherman and the Lee, now
In the Orient, will flu the return
schedule to Portland and then go to
Galveston, Tex., where the United
Fruit company probably will place
them In service on the Atlantic coast.
"The loss to Portland and the adja
cent marketing territory Is too vast
to estimate," said E. A. Gardner, gen
eral passenger agent, who leaves for
New York tonight.
Other States managers, who did
not care to be quoted, said the
withdrawal of federal help will place
growers and exporters In this terri
tory at a "distinct disadvantage."
Much of the freight transported by
the white vessels will be sent over
lend to Puget Sound, British Colum
bia and California ports, with the
result shippers from the farming cen
ters of this northwest region will lay
out more money In freight charges.
Many Used Vessels.
Twelve thousand travelers, many of
them visiting the northwest for the
first time to take passage or disem
bark on the States fleet, trod the
decks of the Pershing, the Lee and
the Sherman as they plied the Pa
cific on their regular schedule for
the last five years.
The vessels averaged about 150
passengers each round trip. Only 13
were aboard the Pershing today.

Designated as House "E" In the Federal Housing Administration booklet "Principles of Planning
Small Homes", this is a comfortable, dignified home of the formal Georgian type, yet simplicity itself,
both in design and construction. The pediment treatment of the gable end changes it from just a house
and gives it character. The plan shows a small but well-proportioned living room with good wall
spaces. With the no-cellar plan a dining space is provided in the kitchen, where the intimate family
meals can be eaten. On more formal occasions the end of the living room can be used. The utility
room provides a place for the heating unit, with full storage and good space for laundry work. If a
cellar is built, a dining alcove is provided as parr of the living room, and a combination sink-tray is
placed In the kitchen. The bedrooms are large enough to accommodate two people each, which makes
this a possible house for a family of six. The wall spaces are well worked out, and cross-ventilation is
provided in each room. Built-in wardrobes are shown in two of the rooms instead of closets; they
take up,less apace than the usual closets and are good-looking pieces of furniture. The Housing Ad
ministration estimates that this house mar be built for not more than $2,500.

ROTARY MEETING
At yesterday's Rotary club meeting
County Judge Earl B. Day discussed
his recent trip to Washington, D. C,
as a member of the executive com
mittee of the land grant counties
of this state seeking legislation that
will safeguard the Interests of coun
ties affected by the O. & C. land
grant. The new act, which will
supervise the original Chamberlatn-
Farrla law and the 1938 Stanfleld
amendment, will provide assured
revenues and better and more elastic
percentages for this county, and es
tablish a "sustained yield" poltcy for
forests of Oregon.
The new legislation will be more
fair to Jackson county and other
counties affected and will eventually
reduce the tax burden of citizens here
to a substantial degree, Judge Day
told the Rotaiians.
In discussing the need for hi
Washington visit, Judge Day briefly
outlined the early history of railroad
development In Oregon and the con
ditions leading up to enactment of
initial laws designed to meet the
problems of land grant counties.

Hollywood Goes Abroad
For Chic Opera Singers
NEW YORK . ( UP ) Pal 1 1 ng tn Ua
hunt for comely persons with oper
atic vices, except for established art
ists. In opera nd on the concert
stage, Hollywood haa commissioned
Its first talent scout extraordinary.
He Is Mitchell Lelaen, veteran dlrec-'
tor. His mission between now and
August 1 Is to travel over Europe,
particularly Prance and Italy, keep
ing sv professional ear attuned to
voice and a sharp Hollywood eye fo
cused on personal appearance of em
bryonic artists.
Lelsen, who has directed some out
standing features, la convinced, he
said In New York befors sailing, that
"film surgeons will never succeed In
transplanting operatle voices into
people the screen considers physi
cally attractive." By that, Lelsen ex
plained, "dubbing" of a voice into a
non-singer does not work so far as
screen opera and the better screen
musicals go. In such productions
the star must be able to sing. Uae
of a double not only ruins the Illu
sion of audlencea but causes the star
who "la singing with someone else's
voice' to lack the luster that la reg
istered before cameras only through
conviction and sincerity.
"There are not enough Gladys
Swarthouts and Grace Moores to go
around,' aald Lelsen. "One big pic
ture like 'High, Wide and Handsome'
takes up months of the time of a
singer such as Irene Dunn. Every
producer la giving ope rat to stories
and musicals more consideration than
ever before. In the case of my com
pany we've got more musical pictures
on schedule than In any year in the
company's history since sound.
The director revealed that a num
ber of operas are being held In abey
ance by the film industry until more
"quality voices" can be drafted for
camera work. He la confident that the
European market haant been con
sidered by Hollywood except for a
few big-names singers who are known
in thla country as well as abroad. He
feels that by traveling over the con
tinent leisurely he will have the beat
opportunity to explore what he terms
"unknown voice lands."
Lelsen Is certain that he will "dis
cover two or perhaps four "un
knowns" on this trip.
MOLASSES TREATMENT

SALEM, Juns SO (AP) An per

Dr. McNary said the rain-beaUn
hay Is chopped, and 100 pounds of
molasses to a ton Is sprayed Into
the stack, which Is allowed to stand
for six weeks.
The hay at the Institution haa been
stacked ton days, but at the end of
the six-weeks period It will be known
definitely if the experiment, first of
the kind In the nation, is successful.
H. said the only cost Involved I.

little loss, and the treated hay Is a.
good for silage aa hay which ha beta

The molasses serve, to pack and
ferment the hay. There Is slight
fire hazard Involved sine, the stack
might burn from spontaneous com
bustlon. but this Is largely overcom.
by pouring water Into the stack.
Recent rains, which lasted about
four weeks, virtually destroyed th.
