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."

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.
