BAIL FREIGHT BOOST PLEA
FACING OPPOSITION
H1UHF.B BATES WOULD KILL
HOUSING EXPANSION, CLAIM .
STRUCTURAL CLAY PRODUCTS
GROUP TO FIGHT GRANT
OTHCB BUILDERS SUPPLY
MAKERS MAY JOIN PROTEST
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. Any time
now. perhaps by the time this ap
pears, a ton of brick Is due to fall
on the effort of the railroads to
boost freight rates.
That Is, If the president and his
housing aides and, of course, the
Interstate commerce commission bow
to the plea of the Structural Clay
Products Institute (and probably
other makers of builders' supplies).
According to these folks (lumber has
already made Its plea), the adminis
tration's ambitious housing program
Is as good as dead If the freight rates
go up.
The roads, it will be recalled, re
ceived the right to Increase trans
portation charges after they had
granted a raise In pay to the railroad
workers. They had petitioned to have
the "emergency rates" of 1935 made
permanent. This was granted under
certain restrictions.
Now a second petition requests an
other straight IS percent raise.
This would make It Impossible to
build chaper homes, the clay prod
ucts people are about to declare of
ficially. They say that a third of
the cost of brick and tile which the
coii'slimcr paya goes to railroads, and
they Insist that 15 percent more
would make any extended Home
building program for the lower In
come brackets impossible.
"The Structural Clay Products In
itltutc," Its representative Intends to
tell the administration, "has esti
mated the housing shortage In the
United states to be six million dwell
ing units, a figure that resulted from
comparative surveys covering various
social aspects of the country from
before the depression. More recently
the Equitable Life Assurance society
of New York has announced that five
million new homes will be required
within the next 15 years , . . Increased
freight rates in itself, will be enough
to wipe out this demand among the
classes where the housing shortsgc
exists."
Just another problem for the presi
dent to solve. Without the brick
(or lumber!, there can be no house;
without Increased rates, the roads
can't pay the men: without more
pay, the employes can t buy houses
because of the high cost of living.
As Secretary Mort;enthau said when
they "ooohed" him at the political
science dinner: "You try It!"
Skipper Kennedy of the maritime
commission, who, as advised In this
column last August. Is about to ap
ply for a long leave, may find some
of the crew In the same boat when
he puts ashore.
One Is probably O. P. M. Brown,
member of the legal department of
the maritime commission, who served
the old shipping board for many
years In the same capacity.

House Labor Committee Re
news Efforts for Conside
ration of Wage, Hour Bill
Senate in Filibuster
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. (AP).
The house labor committee renewed
its efforts to force consideration of
the administration's wage-hour bill
today while congress consumed more
of the special session In talk rather
than legislative work.
Chairman Norton (D.. N. J.), an
nounced that only two of the 31
labor committee members had voted
for recalling the bill for revision.
She said the committee majority
would work "on obtaining the neces
sary number of signatures, 218. to a
petition that would bring the meas
ure direct to the bouse floor.
The wages and hours bill has been
tied up In the house rules commit
tee since last session.
Across the capltol. the senate re
mained In the throes of a southern
filibuster against the anti-.ynchtng
bill. Senator Connally (D., Tex.), had
the floor.
At the Texan's direction clerks
resumed reading where they left off
yesterday a 14-page speech by Jus
tice Hugo L. Black. Black was an
opponent of antl-lynchlng legislation
while serving as senator from Ala
bama, The house session started with an
attack and defense of the wage
hour bill.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. (AP)
A house tax subcommittee agreed
today to "smooth out" the capital
gains tax In a manner which Chair
man Vinson (D., Ky.), said should
"be helpful to business conditions
and not cause any unseemly loss In
revenue."
The plan would give the taxpayer
an option of paying fixed, top rates
on gains renJlrd, on capital trans
actions, or of Including the gains In
his ordinary Income If the Income
tax rates would work to bis advan
tage. Under existing law, all capital gains
are Included In other Income and
taxed under the Income tax brackets.

PORTLAND, Nov. 17. (AP)
Forty-eight hours of emergency po

other night from the vandalism
which reached a new peak Sunday
when at least a score of stores and
plants wero damaged.
After arresting a score of persons
Monday night on after-hours
charges, police went empty-handed
last night, the shattering of store
windows, beat-ups of labor rivals,
overturning of automobiles and other
molestation of participants In the
labor disputes stopped at least tem
porarily. Peacefulness among the labor
camps so far as publto conduct was
concerned did not extend, nowever,
to the cores of the disputes, both
sides, the A.P.L. and C.I.O., giving
not the slightest hint of any end of
their rivalry for control of lumber
workers, beer makers and many other
.classes of workers.

JAPS WOULD VIEW
HELP FOR CHINA
AS HOSTILE ACT
BRUSSELS, Nov. 17. (AP) Japan
would regard as a hostile act by the
countries concerned any decision by
the Brussels conference to accede to
China's appeal for material aid In the
Far Eastern conflict, highly placed
Japanese circles said today.
If the Brussels conference of 10
countries decides upon aid to China,
as asked by Dr. V. K. Wellington
Koo, Chinese ambassador to Prance
and conference delegate, these cir
cles said, Japan would have to con
sider the situation "very seriously."
This assertion waa seen as rein
forcing the prediction that "grave
complications" would result from
the Brussels declaration criticizing
Japanese action in China, a predic
tion voiced Monday by Count Lulgl
Aldrovandl-Marescottl in casting
Italy's negative vote on the declara
tion. Japan might, the Japanese Inform
ants said, have to exorcise her "right
under International law" to blockade
the Chinese coast to ships of nations
concerned, should the conference
decide upon aiding China with sup
plies.
It Is the Spanish situation re
versed," said one Japanese, compar
ing China with- the Valencia Span
ish government and Japan with
Spanish Insurgent General Franco's
regime.
"In Spain they have set up an
elaborate non-intervention commit
tee but In the Far East everyone
seems to think r he has the right to
Interfere.
We maintain it should be left to
Japan and China alone."

Secretary Explains Details
of Ever-Normal Granary
Proposal to Agricultural
Committee in 'Senate
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. (AP)
Secretary Wallace advised senators
today to adopt . a "middle course"
between extreme compulsory control
and voluntary control over farm pro
duction and marketing under the
new farm program.
Wallace's views were reported oy
Chairman Smith, of the senate agri
culture committee after a two-hour
closed session.
Secretary Wallace explained de
tails of his "ever-normal granary '
proposal to members of the senate
agriculture committee.
Compromise seen.
As the committee assembled Sen
ator Gillette (DH Iowa) predicted a
compromise on conflicting opinions
In an effort to get a farm program
before the senate within "a lew
days."
'There is no doubt but what a
general farm bill will be ready for
the senate before long," he said.
Senator Bankhead (D., Ala.) said
southern senators would support his
compulsory cotton control proposals
aa tho cotton section of the senate
farm bill.
'A cotton program Is not worth a
cent," Bankhead aald, "without some
thing to enforce it."
Senators on the committee saia
southerners probably would write
cotton, tobacco and rice sections
while the outline of the Pdpe-McOUl
bill would be followed for corn and
wheat.
This measure follows administra
tion Ideas for an "ever-normal gran
ary."
Patience Urged,
As Wallace led a squad of farm
administration officials and farm or
ganization leaders before the senate
committee, to explain provisions of
the Pope-McGlll bill, Chairman Jouos
(D., Tex.) of the house committee
called for "patience and tolerance
during the work of writing a farm
bill.
He proposed that congress enact a
bill following "a middle course" be
tween the extremes of "unreasoning
reduction" and production "In un
limited quantities."
Chairman Pierce (D., Ore.) mean
while called hla wheat aub-commlt-tee
Into closed meeting early in the
day to attempt to draft provisions
for control of both wheat and nee
production.

LEGALITY OF P1NBALLS
STANDS FIRST TEST IN
STATE SUPREME COURT
SALEM. Nov. 17. (AP) The first i
teat case to determine the legality of
plnball games throughout Oregon
came before the suprome court to
day in the state's appeal from a
Polk county ruling which held that
C. O. Coats, Independence plnball
operator, was Innocent of operating
a lottery. 1
Coats, In his briefs before the
court, contended that - a 1035 law,
which authorized cities and coun
ties to license plnball games, re
pealed a 1001 law against such de
vices. Independence licenses the
games.
The state argued that the 1001
law was still effective, and that the
licensing statute is unconstitutional.
"The legislature certainly had the
power to author Ire the license of
a plnball game Involving an element
of skill. And this .same power, car
ried with It the power to put the
plnbatt game Into a class by Itself;
to make a distinction between the
plnball game and the slot machine,"
the Coats brief said.
The state charged that the "pln
ball business Is a widespread pesti
lence in Oregon and the United
States.
"It is impossible for a person to
enter the ordinary places of busi
ness In the -communities that allow
plnball games without being affected
by the pestilence.
"It seems clear that It business
and our everyday merchants have
come to the place where they must
rely upon such questionable devices
as this to secure business
then business Is certainly In a bad
state of affairs."
Today's hearing was before all
seven Justices.
Eastern Criminals

Eastern criminals are following Hor

C. O. Weaver, U. 8. inspector of pris

Mr. Weaver, of Los .Angeles, was
here for a routine insiection of the
county Jail yesterday. Hs aald h
expects an Influx of criminals to
the west.
"You'll have to build larger Jau
out here to hold them all," he as
serted to Sheriff Barnes.
Then ths Jackson County Chamber
of Commerce ssld a survey made
nine months ago Indicated a popu
latlon of 13,600. Since the oanvsj
waa made nlns months ago, A. H
Ban well, chamber manager who
always looks on the bright side of
life, asserted Mr. Latham's figures
were probably mors nearly correct.
Complicating the picture a little
more, Robert A. Duff, water depart
ment superintendent, ssld he est!
mated ths population on October 1
at 12.324. He based his calculation
on water services.
Not quits so optimistic as Mr.
Benwell but still optimistic,- Mr.
Duff aald ths sctual population was
probably somewhere between his fig
ures and Mr. Latham's.
Then along came Beth Bull is, di
vision manager of ths California
Oregon Power company, which also
has quite a little Interest In popu
