Planning Commission Says Agriculture and Industrial Plans Must Be Speeded to Overcome Poverty PORTLAND, May 87. (AP) POT. orty. like a great plains dust cloud has followed thousands of drought area refugees to the green hills of the Paclflo northwest. And. says the Paclflo; northwest regional planning commission, pov- . erty will remain unless development of agricultural lands and Industry can be speeded to care for those already here and those who will come. . In the seven years following 1930, . 38,000 farm families left their -dust bowl homesteads and turned bat tered automobiles westward. About 19.000 arrived in the 18 months prior to July, 1037. And still they come. Plsnntng commission figures show the population movement is accelerating. Many Lack Funds . These nowcomers, many without funds, have largely settled on lands where adequate Incomes are Impos sible. Of 30,017 recent arrivals, 34 per cent call previously sbsndoned farms home. Another 48 per oent chose to wrest subsistence from small tract of unimproved land Only 28 per cent managed to secure going farms or subdivisions. Ths commission found that much of the new settlement wss In nar row, shoe-string valleys, on poor cutover lands, wornout wheat lands and In localities whero farms already are too small to support a family on a reasonable living standard Equal numbers of those discour aged with farming have floured Into metropolitan areas, where ' work Is increasingly soarce. More Farms Needed. About 10,000.000 acres, or 160,000 new economic farm units, may ulti mately be added to the cultivated area In Oregon, Washington and Idaho through Irrigation, drainage, clearing and flood control. However, unless present construction schedules are speeded, only 10.000 new farms will be added In the next five yeara 3000 short of the number needed to care for those arriving In the last 18 months. Possibilities of relief wore seen by the commission In irrigation and Industrlallgaton projects such as Orand Coulee dam, Columbia and Snake river basins development and economical land clearance by trac tors ond "bulldozers." The Pacific northwest, the com mission said "must either go vigor, ously forward with land dovelon ment and reclamation programs, or win just as rapidly sink backward wim an ever-expanding area of pov, erty-rldden communities." TO AS INDEPENDENT Law of State Leaves Little Hope Will Announce Plans in Course of Time Will Not Support Hess HEARD AT MEETING OF ASHLAND, May 37. (Spl)Dr. L. 8. Lucas, Portland specialist and fac ulty membor of the University of Oregon medical school, gave a talk on bono fractures before the semi monthly dinner-meeting of the Jack eon County Medical society Wednes day nlht In the Llthla hotel His talk waa Illustrated with X-ray phot ographs showing fractures ahd dislo cations of bonee In fingers, elbow and shoulder. Dr. Henry H. Dixon, Portland psy chiatrist, discussed the Increasing use or psychology In treatment of medi cal cases and emphasized that care must be 'be exercised In differentiat ing between neurosis and hysteria. Another guest from the university medical school waa Dr. John P. Abele Other guests Included O. I. Paulson, supervisor of vocational rehabilitation of the state vocational board at Salem. C. R. Bowman. Jackson coun ty school auperlntendent, and Dr. Stanley Roberts, recent Medford ar rival. Dr. R. B. Poston was elected a member of the, society. Dr. K. 0. Everett was host. By PA UT, W. HARVEY, Jr. SALEM. Msy 37. fPr Hundreds of persons who have written and tele graphed Oov. Charles R. Martin to run Independent In' November should have little hope of him doing so, because of a law agalnat It. The governor hinted to reporters that he might do so. but said he would not announce hla decision for some time. The law provides that no person who Is defeated In a primary election can run Independent In the following general election. Martin lost isat week to Henry Hess. Supreme court attaches assert that the law Is In full force and tnat decisions have affected Its validity The governor' only hope of running Independent would be to nave me supremo court hold the law uncon. stltutlonal. Ralllee After Blow. The governor was a broken man after election, but toward the end of this week he began to perk "up, asserting "he was setting on the eggs, waiting for them to hatch. He said many people have aaxea him for advice on whether to suport Charles A. Sprague, Republican nom Inee. or Hess. The governor said would advise thein In "due time, but added that he would not support Hoss. Tills wss taken to mean that the govornor woul . advlte them support himself If he ran lndepend ent, or Sprague If the governor did not run. Governor Martin remains bitter about he Hess victory, asserting ho juld not "congratulate Hess and never will." He added tnst ir ne ran Independent It would.- bresk up the "forces of goons, gangsters and glve-me boys who nominated Hesa. Then has been some talk thst the governor might ru Independent for 8. representative from the third (Multnomah oounty) district against Kep. Nan Wood Honeyman, Demo crat, and Homer Angell. Republican Thta would be legal. Martin repre. sented this district from 1030 to' 1934 There also have be auggestlons that he run for the D. 8. senate BRalnst Willis Mahoney. Democratic former Klamath Palls mayor, and Stnt Treas, urer Rufus C. Holman. Republican. Lively Summer IMeilRi'il. This possibility was considered doubtful here, In the light of recen statements by the governor that he never wanted to return to Washing ton. D. C. The governor promised a "lively summer and lots of fun for all of us." He took great delight In kid ding reporters and keeping them guessing as to his future course If the November gubernatorial raoe Is only between Sprnguo and Hess, there will be a clear-cut Issue be tween Republican and New Deal plat, forms. Whoever wlna the Martin support would win the election. But If Martin get Into tho race. It would .e hard to tell what would happen. EMENT HELD AT BT. FALLS SCHOOL BUTTE PALLS.
