PURGE OF DEMOCRATIC
PARTY SEEN COLLAPSING
ONLY MARYLAND RACE
HELD MANAGED EXPERTLY
BLAME LAID TO F. R. AS
ADVISERS NOT POLITICIANS
FAILURE EXPECTED TO
SPUR THIRD TERM MOVE
BALTIMORE, Aug. 7. This Is a
good time and place for a little real
istic thinking on the great topic of
the president's party purge 11 only
because the management of the purge
here In Maryland shines so brightly,
by contrast with tho management of
the purge In other states.
Here In Maryland, the president
chose for his agent an exceedingly
shrewd man. Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles. Welles concentrated
his far from ordinary powers on the
Maryland situation. He has effected
a combination which will give the
support of strong political organiza
tions to Representatives Davy Lewis,
the White House candidate. His com
bination may come apart, but at least
everything that can be done has been
done.
The record Is pretty sorry elsewhere.
While Senator Millard P. Tydlngs
trembles with terror, his colleagues,
atllettc of Iowa, McCarrau of Nevada,
Adams of Colorado, Van Nuys of Itw
dlana, Clark of Missouri and Loner
gan of Connecticut have either been
renaminated already, or are practical
ly certain of renomlnatlon. In South
Carolina, the drive against Senator
Cotton Ed Smith lias bogged down
so badly that the president probably
won't enter the state. And In Geor
gia, although the president Is expect
ed to make an aggressive attack on
htm. the hated Senator Walter George
Is an odds-on bet to win.
On the other side of the picture,
Maury Maverick, most conspicuous
liberal in the house, has been beaten
In Texas. New dealers have taken a
fearful whaling In Virginia. And in
such states as New York and New
Jersey, the new deal elements in the
president's following ore having their
faces ground under the heels of the
Democratic organizations.
To anyone, either liberal or conser
vative, who believes that American
politics should be intelligent and
statesmanly, this record Is bound to
be depressing. The object of the
party purge was to bring about politi
cal realignment, without which there
can be no honest facing of great
issues. It was hoped to transform
the Democratic party Into an instru
ment of coherent liberalism, which
implied the formation of an equally
coherent conservative party on the
other side. The hope has been dis
appointed already. . The party hacks
have triumphed. And thus the elec
torate is to be denied the privilege of
voting on the Issues.
The next question Is, who Is to
blame? To that there is only one
answer the president himself.
The mere logic of the situation
exculpates the other persons involved.
The men who have pleaded with the
president for honest political realign
ment are liberal Intellectuals. They
are his close and trusted advisers.
They can do such work for him as
drafting the remarkable fireside chat.
In which he sounded his realignment
rallying call. Their vision of the
political situation, Insofar as It af
fects the future of new deal liberal
ism, Is clear and realistic. But not
one of them Is a practical politician.
Not one of them is qualified to tink
er with political machinery. Without
the president's aggressive leadership,
they have been helpless to manage
the purge.
It can be stated quite definitely
that the president left Washington
on bis westward expedition fully de
termined to give and ask no quarter.
He told men like WpA Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins that It didn't mat
ter to him if Pat McCarran carried
Nevada over his opposition: McCarran
was sure to be anti-new deal under
any circumstances, and, If his oppo
nent had only one chance in ten,
that chance was worth betting on.
Whether it was the continuous
ovation which greeted the president,
or merely the Influence of the re
markably fecond-rate group of men
who traveled with him, the presi
dent's mood softened d-Uly. In the
end. be did nothing to carry out his
high Intentions. And now he has
not only abandoned his plan to enter
South Carolina: he has also cut down
hli later north. r: fr:p alo originally

Japanese Navy Miscon
strues U. S. Embassy
Request For Search
World Excited.
TOKYO, Sunday, Aug 7. (UP)
An apparent mlxup In messages be
tween the United States embassy and
the Japanese navy gave rise today
to an erroneous report that the miss
ing Hawaii Clipper had been found.
The Japanese navy flatly announc
ed the Clipper had been sighted by
a steamer off Douglas reef. 800 miles
south of Japan, then announced this
report was erroneous.
Tho first report said the Clipper
had been sighted by the Jipanese
steamer Canberra Maru.
Tho second report eald the Can
berra Maru merely was en route to
a spot where the United States em
bassy had said the 'missing plane
"might be located."
Embassy officials said all they had
done was pass on to the Jnpanese
navy a request by Pan American Air
ways that the Douglas reef area be
searched for the Clipper.
Officials said they had no Infor
mation that the plane had been
found.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 6. (Jp)
The Hawaii Clipper, carrying six pas
sengers and nine crew members, dis
appeared July 29 on Its regular 1.600
mlle flight from Guam to Manila.
The last message from the plane
was timed at 8 :03 p. m., Pacific
standard time, Thursday, at that
time tho Clipper was 665 miles out
of Manila.
Army and navy ships and planes
scanned the Pacific until last Thurs
day night, when the search Wfis called
off, having found only an oil "slick"
which searchers believed contained a
trace of gasoline. The "slick" was
found one week ago.
NEW YORK Aug 6. (P) Pan
American Airways officials said to
night they had not been Informed
officially of the reported sighting of
the missing Hawaii Clipper near
Douglas reef.
A spokesman of the company sug
gested that the report that the giant
Hying boat had been found might
have arisen from a request made
through the American embassy In
Tokyo that a Japaneso ship, the
Canberra Maru, be enlisted In the
search for the Clipper.
Pan American learned that the
Canberra Maru was en route from
Australia to Kobe, Japan, and could
explore the area around Douglas reef
without deviating greatly from its
course.
The reef is only a short distance
north of the course which the Clipper
was following when it vanished.

t Ordered Search Last May
Thanks to Gov. Charles H. Martin
and state policemen stationed tn
Medford, a nearly-blind woman's
beloved dog, stclen over two months
ago, has been, returned to bring hap
piness to her in her life of almost
total darkness.
It was on May 35 that Freckles, a
friendly, valuable Australian shep
herd dog, was stolen from Utt home
of Mr. and Mrs, A. G. Porteous in
Baker, Ore. Mrs. Portedus was broken
hearted. Freckles was her "eyes," and
her constant companion and her
grief at the loss of the dog was too
heart-rending for her husband to
bear.
Mr. Porteous wrote Gov. Martin a
letter, explaining what Uie loss of
Freckles meant to Mrs. Porteous and
asking him If he couldn't possibly
enlist the aid of the state police In
searching for the dog. This Gov.
! Martin did, and on Aug. 1, Freckles
was found by Medford state polloe
men. Over 400 miles from home, and
living the life of a gypsy, Freckles
waa discovered at the hobo Jungle
camp on the southern outskirts bf
the city. A more friendly and lov
able dog they had never seen, state
police said ' after finding Freckles. .
Although' furnished with a minute
description of Freckles, which was
sent out over the state police tele
type to every station in Oregon, of
course they couldn't be certain that
U.e dog found was Freckles until a
picture of him had been taken and
sent back to Baker for Mr. Porteous
to see. This was done, and yester
day over the teletype came the word
that Mr. Porteous had positively
identified the dog in the picture as
Freckles.
None of the "residents" of the lo
cal hobo camp knew from whence
Freckles came; all tuey knew was
that he had been there for about four
days. Police were unable to discover
a single clue as to the Identity ol
who stole Freckles. ,
Freckles was taken to the Jackson
County Humane society and will oe
shipped back to Baker and hla mis
tress, who Is happy again now that
Freckles will soon be with tier.

CO-OP AGREEMENT
FOR CANNING OF
BARTLETTS MADE
i Rosenberg Bros. To Furnish
Pears, And First National
Bank To Finance Rogue
Cannery Deal.
The commercial canning of Rogue
river valley Bartlett pears here be
came a reality yesterday when a co
operative agreement between a Med
ford cannery and an orchard concern
was announced. About 1.000 tons of
Bartletts will be canned this year.
The cooperative arrangement was
made between Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Bern toll e. operators of the Rogue River
Valley cannery on South Front atreet.
and Rosenberg Brothers, owners of
Bear Creek Orchards. The pack Is to
be financed by the First National
Bank of Portland.
The Rogue River Valley Canning
company's plant Is now being re
arranged, enlarged and Improved for
the expanded canning operations.
New machinery la being Installed.
"We are Indeed glad to enter Into
a cooperative deal with the Bartlett
pear growers of the Rogue river val
ley." Mr. Boutelle said. "We have
Just completed exclusive arrangements
with the Bear Creek Orchards where
by they are to supply our total needs
for a large quantity of fine Bartlett
pears. These we shall pack and sell
through our cannery.
VFor mauy years we have known
that there is no finer Bartlett pear
grown anywhere for canning pur
poses than the Bartlett of this dis
trict. They pack out a high number
of cases per ton and the quality Is
unexcelled. This Is also true of other
fruits and vegetables grown hero.
"For many years we have canned
and supplied wholesalers who buy
only the finest quality of canned
fruits and vegetables. We know
from these many years of experience
that our pack of Medford fruits and
vegetables Is unexcelled for quality.
The Improvement and enlargement of
our plant and the expansion of our
pack express our confidence In the
future of the valley and Its produce.
We feel sure that the cannery will
noV be of greater service to the
producers of the valley.
"We sincerely hope that the people
of the Rogue river valley will support
our endeavors by giving preference
to our packs through our local gro
cery stores. Our product will be
found under the names of 'Crater
Lake.' 'Medford and 'Selected Stock
brands."
Mr. Rosenberg said: "For years we
have felt that one of the vitally
necessary Industries requiring de
velopment In our valley was a re
sponsible, well-financed cannery that
would handle a quantity of fruits
and vegetables grown here. We feel
that Mr. and Mrs. Boutelle, under
their new arrangement, will go a long
way toward solving this vital prob
lem. In entering Into an exclusive
cooperative arrangement with them
for the canning of Bartlett pears,
our growers are looking with renewed
confidence to the profitable market
ing of their cannery Bartletts.
"Besides the canning of Bartlett
pears, we are Intending to experi
ment with the commercial possibil
ities of canned baked Boso pears."
"Not only will the cannery give
work to many local persons, hut also
It should help solve producers' prob
lems In the marketing of their fruits
and vegetables," said Eugene Thorn
dike, manager of the Medfmd office
of the First National Bank Qf Port

support this enterprise by asking for
Medford canned pears."

In his native Sweden.
Newa that the 88-year-old and
portly stage and screen star died
came from the home of his estranged
wife. the former Brtlth Bhearn of the

ried trip to his bedside.
The end came In a Stockholm hos

the news that she cancelled reser
vations on alrplanea and ateamer,
mado five days ago when ahe first
learned of her husband's Illness, sue
received word only yesterday that
hla condition waa critical. Heart com
plications contributed to the death.
Oland's departure to Sweden more
than a month ago was almost as
mysterious as were th" movement of

He had reached a separate main
tenance agreement with hla wife af

patched up dlfferencea with his Hol

departure from the set.
Mra. Oland charged In her suit that
the actor "so disregarded his duties
as a husband that he caused her
much montal anguish." She declared
excess drinking was the cause of
