Wheeler told the senate that the fund either '"wasn't oorreet In theory, or haan't been operated the way congress In tended It should." "It seems to me to be time that the congress of the United Sutra knew eomethlng aa to what la being done with that a9.ooo.OOO.OOO," he declared. other Action Needed Hla remarka were prompted by an aaaertlon by Senator Logan D, Ky.) that "We will never get the country out of Ita dlfflcultlea by appropriat ing money to apend for relief unless eomethlng elae la done."

Meanwhile Senator Borah (It.. Idshol, pointed out the critical wage-hour Issue by , casting aside precedent to criticise both house and senate bills so rigorously that attempts to reach a compromise may be retarded. Borah, member of a joint com mittee seeking an agreement on the legislation, declared the senate bill would give "Hitler-like" powers to a five-member board which could ex cuse some firms from compliance with pay and hour regulations. He made It plain he would not support that provision, despite cus tom which holds that conferees must back the measure approved by their chamber.

AP A 50-year-old hiker and a 47-year- old fisherman, both corapttratlvely unknown In Oregon politics before the primary election held ten daya ego, square off late this summer for the governorship. The candidate are Charles A. flprague, who publishes the Oregon Statesman, mornlrw newspaper of Salem, the state capital, and Henry I. Hess, La Grande lawyer and for mer state senator. Hess, victor In a spectacular race for the Democratic nomination over Charles H. Martin, unrelenting critic of the labor lieutenants of President Roosevelt, Is the fisherman and Sprague, who swamped a field of eight for the Republican nomination. Is a hiker. Agree on Outdoors. Thus on the outdoors, both agrte. They like It. There the personal comparison stops. Sprague Is a tall, scholarly man with a determined chin, a quick, easy smile that radi ates from his blue eyes, dignified, a strong believer In his principle which he expounds in a rather deep, full voice. Hess, as firmly fixed upon his tenants of politics, ta of average size, possessed of a kindly smile which Instantly changes Into a keen, pierc ing demeanor as he rises to an argu ment. His sandy hair Is graying and thin, Aa firmly as he could say It, Hess Is a "Roosevelt Democrat." Sprague Is a believer In the rejuvenation of the Republican party with Ideas that, while they match the times, are yet conservative. Upon these broad principles, sur rounded with others of leaser mo ment, they will canva-sa the state be fore next November's general election, seeking the batlota of Oregon's half million and more voters. Labor Main Issue. The dominant Issue, at this early date appears likely to be the labor question. Upon H, He defeated Martin. Hess believed In broad free dom for the working man In the es tablishment of his relationships with employers. Martin favored strict supervision of unions. Sprague fav ors "law tul unionism but I oppose unionism baed on coercion of work ers and employers.' Heaa believes he Is the logical man- to promote Industrial peace In strife torn Oregon, where the ATL and CIO have warred for months, particularly In the lumber business, because be carries the endorsement of both big unions and "I have their confidence." Incidentally, he is an owner In a sawmill. Sprague, also supported In ths Re publican primary campaign by some labor Interests, la opposed to biting criticism of the unions and some other groups of cltlisene, such aa the energetic Martin gave vent to. but at the same time he makes It plain that "I won't stand for violence In connection with labor trouble." Another question that haa raised sharp debate throughout the stat la grounded In Bonneville dam but for the general election It doe not ap pear to carry possibilities of Issue making calibre. Both Sprague and Hess favor wide distribution of power from the dam and equal opportuni ties to private and public utilities. Industry and home-consumer alike. For Mtidcet Dalance. On matters of more local concern, the candidates Indicate their agree ment. Both favor a balanced state budget, both hope to further devel opment of the state's resources. Who wins Is a question that seems to Involve three factors who get the liberal vote of the Republican party, how many of the Martin Democrat-, support Sprague. and who gets the votes of those who dldnt ballot. Heaa polled 69.300 votes, or 6.800 more thsn Martin, while a third lib eral Democratic candidate got 8.700 Sprague polled 03,000 votes out of 137.000 cast and 34.000 of the total went to Sam Brown, a farmer and professed left-wing Republican. An other sealoua Republican !lt-rai got 10.000. On top of this, there were at least 350.000 registered voters who never went to the polls and how they stand Is even more of a guess.
