WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. WhUe the
old-line political leaders on both aides
of the lenco are wringing their hands
over party apllts, certain other gentle
men are doing something about the
. situation. And If they finish what
they are starting, there Is a chance
that they'll do It up brown the "It"
being a real Neo-New Deal move
ment and no mistake.
A campaign, Involving the cooper
ation of two separate and Independ
ent groups, has been drawn up quiet
ly right under the noses of the old
liners. . The Neo-New Dealers have Issued
orders for an advance of these groups
In double column. The shock troops
will be: Right flank, the good neigh
bor league; left flank, labor's non
partisan league.
That's the beginning of the strat
egy, not perfected In detail as yet, for
the right flank ts only assembling lt3
troops, but definitely Incorporated In
the general orders. i
As foreshadowed In this column last
week, the good neighbors are going
to do a lot more than Just chat acrors
the back fence. Labor's non-partisan-era
have already started their work,
virtually taking over the "legislative
activities" (polite word for looby lng)
of the OJ.O.
The next step the non-partlsaners
will take Is to write Gown the unfin
ished business of congress (and the
finished business, too, for that mat
ter) and rigidly measure tip every
congressman against the measures tn
which the league Is Interested. And
as one of the members put It. "we'll
be there at election time."
Actual vote-getting Is of course, no
new departure for the non-partisan
league. It did plenty In the last elec
tion. But what Isn't known, because
the neighbors haven't admitted It
. publicity as yet, la the fact that they
are going to "cooperate" with the
other organization In some baro
handed electioneering, too.
This is the way it will work out: -As
organizations for each group
are completed In each state, the re
spective leaders will "confer and agree
on candidates.'

Cars Stay Upright
The cars did not tip over and
damage was limited chiefly to bro

American Express tour special travel

One other porter and a woman pas
senger needed first aid but their
hurts were not sufficiently serious to
require hospitalization. Several
nurses and doctors rushed north
from here by ambulance and special
cars stayed aboard to administer first
aid.
' Reroute Trains
Relief . crews immediately began
clearing the tracks and making re
pairs to get main line travel back to
normal. The regular morning south
bound train had to swing through

TRIBUNE REPORTERS
CENT ON LARGE LOAF
By STATE BOARD RULE
One and one-half pound loaves of
bread were advanced one cent to IS
cents today in the Medford district
which embraces Jackson and Jose
phine counties.
The pound loaf will sell for ten
cents. Heretofore It has cost ten
cents when sliced. 9 cents unsllced
Under the price adjustment effective
today there will hereafter be no dif
ferential between sliced and unsllced
bread.
The new retail scale was ordered
by the state bakery board with bak
erles In the district concurring. Some
bakeries which were producing loaves
slightly In excess of the standard
weights were Instructed to reduce the
loaves to v the pound and pound-and-
a-hslf weights. It was understood.
A baker who preferred to remain
anonymous said the Increase could
be ascribed to higher - labor costs
caused by unionisation of workers in
other parts of the state, especially
Portland. Foreseeing spread of union
ization, the state board ordered the
increase to adjust prices to a com
mon level throughout Oregon, he de
clared. There will probably be no
increase In other bakery products, he
stated.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. (AP) Sen
ator Vandenberg (R.. Mich.) offered
a resolution today asserting it was
"the sense of the senate" that au
preme court appointments should be
made only when the senate could act
before nomlneea began service.
He acted after It became apparent
that President Roosevelt might not
appoint a successor to Justice Van
Devanter, retired, until congress ad
journed.
Thus, the senate would have no
chance to pass on the appointment
until next January, The appointee
could sit on the bench from the be
ginning of the early fall session until
that time.
The question of when the appoint
ment would be made came to the fore
today when tha White House i
nounced Attorney General Cummlngs
had given -an informal opinion that
the president could fill the vacant
seat at any time, regardless of wheth
er congress waa In session.
Chairman Ashurst (D Aria.) of the
Judiciary committee and Democratic
Leader Berkley of Kentucky both In
sisted the resolution should so to
committee.
Vandenberg. however, left the reso
lution on the vice-presidents desk.-"
Senator Burke (D Neb.), one of
the leading court bill foes, said that
If an appointee to the supreme court
took hla seat before being confirmed
by the senate he (Burke) would con
sider It "sufficient grounds to vote
against confirmation" of the Justice,
1 think it Is a very serious mis
take to let thta session adjourn sine
die .without filling the vacancy,1
Burke said. "I'm not at all sure that
the attorney general's opinion Is cor
rect. I am making a thorough atudy
of the question myself."
