COMPROMISE BILL

(Continued irom rage One.)
TO TEST ABILITY
L
submit an alternative for the presi
dential program.
These foes said, meanwhile, that
administration leaders had agreed i
to lay aside the pending court bill
until next week to give them
chanc to work out another bill.
Later, they said, It would be decided
whether to send the administration
bill back to the committee or make
the substitution on the floor.
Wheeler told reporters flatly there
was no doubt his group had enough
votes to recommit the present bill.
He served notice they would agree
to no compromise which would In-
crease the size of Jie supreme court.
The opposition leader said his
group was willing to work out some
reform legislation for the lower
courts, to speed action, and permit
direct appeals to the supreme court
In constitutional cases, but was op
posed to "roving Judges," or the
proposed proctor to recommend their
slgnment.
The Wheeler statement coming
Just after his conference with Gar
ner lent weight to reports from op
ponents earlier In the day that the
administration waa willing to aban
don the supreme court part of the
disputed court bill.
Spokesmen for the administration
were still, however, keeping their
Hps tightly closed and would not
hint at what kind of compromise
they were willing to take.
When Stanley Hcaley. head of an
Australian farm school, sailed for
England he took 300 letters from
his pupils. Ho planned to read one

The ability to drive ft car safely
and efficiently will no longer be a
matter of conjecture so far as Jack
son county motorists are concerned.
Tomorrow afternoon and Friday
morning the AAA's traveling motor
school will be at the courthouse to
test drivers scientifically.
The device, brought here through
the secretary of state and the Oregon
State Motor association. Is designed
to Isolate and Indicate, corrections
for physical and mental handicaps
that Impair safe driving. The purpose
is entirely educational and the public
la asked to cooperate in taking the
testa. 1
Testa will cover keenners of vision,
glare, distance Judgment, field of
vision, stereoscople eye examinations,
color blindness, hearing, reaction
tune, mental alertness, sound driving
practices and experience.
One of the most Interesting of the
tests Is provided by a "drlvometer"
which simulates a number of traffic
situations a driver Is likely to en
counter at any time. Seated behind a
regular steering wheel In the labora
tory, the person being tested la con
fronted with emergency situations
such as suddenly face him on the
highway. All the various control In
struments are before him for use as
though he were actually operating a
car on the highway. He guides a min
iature automobile over a rood painted
on an endless belt. Examiners check
the results.
The traveling motor school, housed
In a trailer, will be the the court
house from 1 to fl tomorrow afternoon
and from 0 to noon Friday morning.

Harrison showed no sign of dis
appointment as he stood before
Barkley to shako hands with the
Democratic aenatora and make state
ments to the preaa.
But some of the Mlaslaslpplan'a
supporters obviously were downcast.
They had expected up to tho laat
ballot to win. Both candidates had
bespoken confidence aa they entered
the caucus room In the state office
bulletin?.
L
SEEN AS PURPOSE
OF STATION SHIFT
When the present bureau of air
commerce radio station south of
town Is moved It will probably be
shifted to a knoll east of Medford,
Fred W. Scheffel. city superintendent
today said he had been Informed.
Moving of the station was Included
t i an airways Improvement plan an
nounced yesterday In Washington.
D. C. Shifting of the Medford radio
station Indicates that the bureau
contemplates Installing a landing
beam at the municipal airport.
The present station sends out
beams by which pilots are enabled
to keep on their course. There is
now no landing beam which leads
pilots directly to the Medford field
or permits them to make a so-called
"blind" landing. It was explained.
United Air Lines has its own facili
ties here -which correspond to a
landing beam.
To be effective the landing beam
must intersect the course beams,
Ur. Scheffel said. This cannot be
accomplished at present, he Indi
cated, because the radio station is
now In line with the airport and
thus all the beams would be parallel.
An Intersecting beam can be achieved
by shifting the radio station, he
added. No definite site for the new
station has been mentioned, he said.
The bureau of air commerce yes
terday announced a 5,000.000 pro
gram of airways construction where
by additional aids would be pro
Tided for safe flying.
Japanese Students

'Cancellation of plans for entertain
ment of a contingent of Japanese
students previously scheduled to visit
the city next month was announced
this morning following receipt of a
letter by the chamber of commerce
from the fourth America -Japanese
student conference.
The letter stated that, due to an
unavoidable change in Itinerary, the
students will be tken up the Oregon
coast hlghwsy Instead of the Inland
route. They are making a tour of
the entire coast.
