SOl'TH UNKNOWN RAPTOR IN DEMOCRATIC MGHT RANK ANI FII.B SII'I'ORT SEEN CONSERVATIVE NEW TYPE LIBERAL 1.EADEH OAINS POVYEH SOUTHERN NEW DEALERS FOR ECONOMIC SURVEY WASHINGTON. July 19. In the fast-approach atruggle for control of the Democratic party, the great un known factor la the south. No one doubts that, while the Garners and Farleys can rely on the Hagues of New Jersey and Kellys of Chicago, the rank and file of northern voters will follow the president. Many believe. - however, that, In the south, the rank and file are on the Garner -Farley side. Recently. Ex-President Herbert Hoover has been talking privately of coalition movements, and all highly placed Republican politicians love the story of the southern colonel, who told a friend: "If you dam Yankees don't atop voting democratic, you're going to ruin the Democratic party." For those, like Mr. Hoover, who re gard Walter George of Georgia, Cotton Ed Smith of South Carolina, and Harry F, Byrd of Virginia as the real representatives of the south, It would be well to remember that a new type of southern leader :J slowly gaining prominence. As yet, most , of these new men are concealed In the cham bers of the new deal, but, when the time comes, they will be ready to come Into the open. These ' new men may be seen at work In the story behind the presi dent's recent request for a report on economic conditions In the south. Officially, the report Is to oe pre pared by the national emergency council and to be used as a sort of touch-stone for policies concerning the south. The report Is almost fin shed and wilt be used as a n.ajor weapon In the president's effort to capture the southern democracy from Its present conservative owners. Two years ago, a group of southern new dealers In congress and the exe cutive branch formed a southern pol icy committee. It was one of a num ber of similar governmental discus sion groups, and. like most of "'the others, it foregathered informally each week in a Washington restau rant. , Lister Hill, the Alabama congress man who succeeded Justice Hugo I. Black In the senate, was one of the prime movers. Another was Clark Foreman, grandson of a great editor of the Atlanta Constitution, P. H. D. at Columbia, and Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes chief adviser both on power and the negro prob lem. Justice Black himself took and still takes a leading part, and among oth ers who have attended the meetings are Senator Claude Pepper of Florida; Farm Security Administrator Will W. Alexander; Representatives Maury Maverick or Texas, Joe Stames of Al abama, and Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas: and Justice Black's brother-in-law, the RFC assistant general counsel, Clifford J. Durr. Altogether the committee has about forty mem bers. At their meetings, these men reg ularly discussed southern problems (Continued on Page Six.) PORTLAND. July 19.

CENTRAL PT JAY Neighbor City and Oak Grove District Both Seek- J ing PWA Aid in Obtain- j ing Better Water Supply! If Central Point and Oak Grove aro successful In nrocurlne PWA fi nancing for their projected pipe sys tems, me city or Mcdiord win have three municipal purchasers of water. Eagle Point constructed Its own sys tem and hooked on to the Medford main last fall. Central Point has already renlaced some of lui old water mains and last week the city council voted to apply to the PWA for funds to com plete the reDlacement Inh so that the system might be hooked on the nicaiora main. Engineer Paul Rynn Ing was employed to draw up speci fications and tho PWA application. The Oak Grove area, organized as the Jacksonville highway water dis trict, has already annlled for a pwa grant and loan to construct a water system. The district would purchase waicr wholesale from Medford. Must Hove Own Tank Wherever a municipality purchases water from Medford It la required that the purchaser have Its own res ervoir so that no additional drain would bo placed on the Medford ros ervolrs, It was explained today by Robert A. Duff, water commission getting Its water from a well, has superintendent. Central Point, now storage facilities. Eagle Point haa a 50,000-gnllon reservoir and under present plana Oak Grove would have a stand-pipe of 60.000-gallon capac ity. Mr. Duff related. Additional ,ialo of Merlford water la so much pelvet, as be added ad ministration overhead expense la nominal. In the case of .serving com munities the only additional work to Medford Is reading a master meter once a month. In addition to municipal users, the Medford water avstem la used hv in. dlvlduals outside the cltv and this use provides a tldv sum of vr. revenue. Mr. Duff pointed out. In tne past io years, those usors have paid about (114.000 and this Income permitted the Medford water com mission to pay off the bonds on the old. discarded pipe line, he said. M Mile Connection If Central Point completes Its urn. Jcct, connection would bo mado with tho Medford main at tho Intersoo nnd Midway road.
