Harmony uratlfylug Mayor Fume aald It appeared to him that moat of the problema had arisen In the other oltlea beoauee of lack of cooperation between the council and olvlo organisation and, In aome Inatancea, beoauae of a lack of harmony among the counollmen themaelvea. "I am greatly pleated that here In Medlord the olty admlnUtratlon ha the cooperation of the pre, the chamber of commerce and other clvlo orgentcatlon and that oomplet har mony prevail on the oounoll Itself." the mayor aald.

The atudy was made In Portland after the league convention, the mayor related.

The fact la that the great banking firm la regarded by tba Now Dealt guiding mlmls as chiefly responsible for the extreme resistance of Ameri can business to Nuw Deal policies. PToui the prvsldent down, the most powerful officials of the admlnistra tlon detest Morgan's with an all out personal hatred, from the president down, the Nu'jf Dealers are convinced, rightly or wrongly, that Morgan's nas used Its rami ty tng In ( I ueuces to stiffen obstruction and stir up rebel lion. Persecution compluxva are as com ttiou among pontic tuns as among ft nnnclal potcututea, and probably the New Dealers have given an undue weight to curtain Incidents. The Duited Corporation's sudden REPUBLICAN VOTERS! ATTENTION! Thousands of Republican voters whose first thoughts are for the security of their homes and the best interests of their State, desire to pay a tribute to Governor Charles H. M;irtin by casting their votes for him in Friday's primary election. How can this be done? At the bottom of the list of Republican candidates for Governor, write In Governor Martin's name as follows: "X MARTIN, CHARLES H." To insure validity it will be necessary to place a cross "X" before the Governor's name as written in. Let's jorve notice to the world of our appreciation of what Governor Martin ha done for Oregon and its people by giving him BOTH nominations Paid adv WEDFOTtD MATL Four; Escape n refusal to register under the holding company aot after It had announced its readiness to do so was one recent Incident which stirred suspicion. An other was the refusal of Alfred P. Sloan of General Motors, Walter 9 Clifford of United States Steel to sign the friendly statement on govern ment-buslnesa cooperation In which John W. Hunea persuaded sixteen business leaders to Join. Sloau, atettlnhia and Clifford, the heads of the three largest industrial companies in the country, are all in close relations with Morgan's Their companies all do business with Mor gan's. And the New Dealers In terred, rightly or wrongly, that their unanimous refusal must be traced to a Hug it source. Again, the New Dealers bellow, rightly or wrongly, that John W Davis, the Morgan lawyer, took the lead In rallying the utilities com panies to their so-called united front ugaLnat the holding company aot. They point out that the financial community, for which Morgan's ata the tone, and the Morgan -affiliated industrial companleea hav consis tently taken the most Intransigent position. Men will imagine devils for them selves. It must be emphasised that ther la no Intention here to pass upon the good sense of the New Deal ers' suspicions and beliefs. The Im portant fact Is that they exist. REPUBLICAN MARTIH FOR GOVERNOR COMMITTEE B. t. Barry. Secretary. R. R. Reter 0. 0. Alenderfer. TTtTBUNE, MEDFOTin. for Three The so-called antt-monopoly Inves tigation la planned to attack Morgan's at its moat vital point Its far-reaching Influence over the policies of corporations, banks, insurance com panies and the like. For the first time since the abortive Pujo money trust Inquiry, this Influence will be called in question. At the same time, it is. not only In the autt-monopoly Investigation that the combat between Morgan's and the administration uow threatens. By the depression, the nation's railroads h.ive been put squarely In the New Deal's power. By the supremo court's decis ion on the holding company aot. tha administration also rules the utili ties. And these are two of Morgan's and Morgan, Stanley and Company's most profitable and Important fields of operation. Hera again, the tempt a tlon to do Morgan's disservice will be hard for tha administration to resist. Certain financial interests, which have been careful to cultivate the New Deal's friendship, are already hoping to profit by th approaching combat. But before any predictlona as to tho outcome can be made, one thing should be remembered. As one New Dealer rather ruefully put It: "Morgan's has been Investigated be fore, and in trouble with the govern ment before. But they seem to be the only firm that can handle their par ticular Job. 9o what can you do with them?" QBEOON.

Bray of 25 North oakdale avenue, pr. Bray Is pastor of the Main Street Methodist church. Tha Instrument is a ten-inch re flecting telescope of he double com pound or "Cassergrantlan-Gregorian" type. it attains an 800-power mag nifloatlon. About two years ago young Bray took a hand-ground four-Inch tele scope lens to the Tinsley laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., for measurement. Hli work was considered so exact that he was Induced to work on tele scopes at the laboratory while pre paring to continue his college stud ies. At the laboratory Bray ground and polished lenses. Then about a year ago he fell and broke his leg. While he was In the hospital he visualized plans for the ten-Inch telescope which now Is on exhibit here. With the exception of two small mechanical Jobs, Bray did all the work required to build the telescope In Its present finished form. The three mirrors of the telescope are ourved to two or three milllonths of an Inch of the theoretically perfect curvature. The mirrors aie made of pyrex to avoid distortions In their curves due to temperature changes. The telescope uses a three-inch re flector as a finder and guiding tele scope for photographing the sky. Patience and skill go hand In hand In the making of such an Instrument. Bray said. MORRIS TO LEAD SONS STUDENTS SOUTHERN OREGON STATE NOR MAL SCHOOL, Ashland. May 13. (Spl.)
