"LOYALTY" ISSUE SPURS NEW DEAL WAR ON GILLETTE IOWA SENATOR REFUSED TO. SPEAK FOR REORGANIZATION ... WILLING TO VOTE "YES" BUT BARKLEY ASKED MORE . . WITHSTOOD "THIRD DEGREE" PRESIDENT'S PHONE CALL WASHINGTON. June 5. On St. Bartholomew's eve. Catherine De Medici's test lor her victims was their rejection of papal authority. And In the massacre of democrats planned for the primaries by the White House, the chosen victims are those who have rejected presidential authority. That Is what It bolls down to, as the esse of Senator Guy Gillette proves. The simple, pleasant-mannered Iowa eenator has been marked for destruction. The vast federal re sources of pap and patronage are be ing lavished on his opponent. Repre sentative Otha D. Wearln. And the Iowa Democrats have been told tnat, In the Monday voting, a Wearln vote Is a vote of confidence In Roosevelt. Gillette might have put himself right with the White House on the reorganization bill. He had the chance to do so: indeed, he was almost drag ged by the hair to the mourners' bench. Now that the massacre is on, the story is worth repeating. In some degree, it clarifies the Issues at stako. Early In the reorganization fight, it . V"" became obvious that the president's prestige was involved. The first cru cial vote was on an amendment by Senator Wheeler of Montana, diluting the proposed presidential powers to the vanishing point. Gillette was known to favor the amendment. The White House forces were ral lied by telephone. Governor Kraschel. of towa, called Gillette, and urged him to go along with the president. Iowa'a Democratic national commit teeman actually Journeyed to Wash ington to help put the heat on. Gil lette was told that his party loyalty was In question. He was reminded that he must soon seek re-election. Finally, he was so thoroughly upset that he took his problem to Wheeler. Wheeler, a far more practical poli tician than the troubled Iowan, told him not to think twice about It. "Make up your mind what will help you most, and do that, for God's sake," said Wheeler. "This thing Isn't as Important as all that." Unfortunately for him, Gillette was I either convinced by the propaganda 7 against the reorganization bill, or he believed that a majority of his constituents had been convinced. He voted for the Wheeler amendment, but he announced simultaneously, as a sop to hit tormentors, that he would also vote for the bill. Gillette's promise of his vote was not enough, however. Even after the Wheeler amendment failed, the bill was still In danger. The strategists of the administration decided that a speech for the bill by a moderate like Gillette would have an excellent effect. Accordingly, Gillette was sum moned to the basement office of Sen ate Majority Leader Alben W. Bark ley. In Barkley's office, he went through something very like a third degree. Senator Barkley and the manager of the reorganization bill, Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, plead ed, exhorted and threatened until Gillette's head was turning. But he did not really approve the measure. He considered his vote concession enough. He flatly refused to speak. After a dreadful quarter-hour, the others gave up. and Gillette returned to his own chambers, completely ex hausted. A little later, the telephone rang. Gillette's secretary excitedly warned blm that the president was on the wire. Gillette scarcely had time to say "hello." before the president be gan. He had Just heard, he said, that his great friend Guy would speak tor the reorganization bill. He de clared that no better news had come to him for months. He expatiated at length on the Importance of the Is sue Involved, and made some refer ence to past differences, now forgot ten. While the president spoke, poor Gillette was choking with embarrass ment. But, whenever he tried to in terrupt, the president talked firmly on. At last Gillette managed to blurt out that the president was mlsln formed, that he could not bring him self to speak on the bill. The pres ident said coldly that he was sorry, and that was the end of the conver sation. Continued on Page NO OMIMNI ADVANCE PROJECT Contend Expenditure Must Be On Schedule Re-Survey Pass Roseburg Road Sought, Resolution.

(AP) Tal 1 , gray -h al red Norman Thomas, long-time leader of the Socialist par ty in this country, was shelled by rotten eggs and cucumbers late to day when about 100 men and a brass band broke up a Socialist rally In mld-clty Military park. Marching four abreast through a crowd of about 500 persons, the anti Thomas contingent shouted Thomas down with the help of the band's blaring Instruments and finally forc ed police to escort the former pres idential candidate from the scene. Many of the marchers wore war veterans' overseas caps and carried American flags. Others bore signs as sailing "reds." Fists flew as Thomas sympathizers and foes clashed. Mounted police, uniformed patrol men and detectives wielded night sticks to break up the melee. The temporary American flag-draped plat form, on which Thomas stood, was smashed. Thomas, his hair and face streaked with egg yolks, stood on a park bench auring a arama-packed half hour and pleaded for a chance to speak. When ever he started, the band ployed louder, the yells Increased. Finally, Deputy Chief Police Phillip Sebold stood up beside Thomas Inside a cor don of police and announced: "On my advice, this meeting Is dit- oanaecu' Thomas said later the adjournment was at the police direction not his.

The police, he charged, were "el ther indifferent, or Inefficient or In collusion with the small mob.M The signs, he added, "came from Jersey City and I think the Inspira tion and money for the band came from Jersey City or perhaps allies of Jersey City." POWER TOO HIGH PORTLAND, Ore- June 4. (API- Charges by the Portland Chamber of Commerce that rates proposed by J. D. Ross, Bonneville dam admin istrator, are far too high, were re inforced today by findings In two tentative studies made by experts employed by the chamber. The chamber has already com plained to the federal power com- misaton that proposed switchboard rates are too - high. The two new studies are said to show that rates proposed within reasonable trans mission distances of the dam also are too high to attract Industry. Portland chamber officials Indl cate that they will fight for lower rates for, the entire area as a suit of this information. An effort is being made to get more time from the power commission so that the chamber can complete Its studies One study made for the Portland chamber Indicated that the switch- board rate for prime power could be made $8.50 a kilowatt year and for secondary power $4.25. This com pared wlh the $14.60 and $9.50 rates proposed by Ross. On the basts of this study It was explained the transmitted rate for the first zone bounded by Eugene on the south. The Dalles on the east, Astoria on the west and Kelso and Long view on the north would be 112.10 a kilowatt year for prime power and $7.55 for secondary power as opposed to the Ross rate of $17.60 for prime and $11.60 for sec ondary. funds authorized for the same years for such projects as forest roads. public Isnd roads, national parks and parkways and Indian roads. For sucb projects congress authorized $3300.- 000 for 1940 and $31,000,000 for 1941 Authorizations for road programs are made for subsequent blennluma by congress. Appropriations to coter the authorizations are made by suc ceeding sessions of congress. The authorization are used by state high way departments In determining their future road program.

He was declared sane by Bellevue hospital psychiatrists, received a re leaso signed by the Judge who heard his trial for murder, was reunited with his own parents and those of hla dead sweetheart and gave re porters an Interview, all within a few hours. He was acquitted of murder charges last week but the Jury verdict necessitated mental examin ation to determine his status. He went from Jail to his attorney's of- : flee, where he met the Carrolls and the Matthlesens and the newspaper men. "After what I've been through." he said, "I finally realize that the trouble with kids. Including myself, is that they don't appreciate their parents, who to them appear not to be able to undersand, are their best friends. "No matter what the trouble may be, they should be confided in to find the solution. Boys and girls now think their parents have no brains. "Oee, I wish I had done what I Jtold you the other kids should do." "What are your plans for the future?" he waa asked. "I haven't any," he replied. "There's time enough for that. It's up to mother anyway," Carroll's defense was that he was temporarily Insane at the time of the killing. The verdict was simply "not guilty by reason of insanity" and so a sanity examination was necessary be fore his freedom could be restored. ' REAFFIRMS FAITH AFTER 'RED FUSS' McMINNVILLE, June 4.
