PAGE EIGHT MTCDFOftD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFOTID, OREGON', THURSDAY. SEPTEFBER 8. 1938. A Medfordite In Europe Leonard Carpenter travelling in Central Europe writes experience! to the Mail Tribune. EN ROUTE TO LONDON FROM HUNGARY. Aug. 17. This It written as wo travel across Germany on the Orient Express. A greet ihlny dark blue train such u Nabobea got mur dered on In an Oppenhelm atory. If anything like tbat ahould happen to ua there could be only six paa- aengera to auspect. Two Englishmen, who like ouraelvea are going to Bou- Unse to cross to England by the o'clock boat tomorrow, one who look like a German; and a veterinary doctor who la In charge of animal bacteriology for the Egyptian gov. rnment and la traveling to Jurlch for a convention which meet once every four yeara. Last time it waa held In N. 7. and he bad a room at the Waldorf Astoria at at which la much higher than as good a room which he has had for the past momn in Bucharest's best hotel. Altho high he considers the fact that he waa In the world's beat notei in n, T. In preparation for his present government Job he was two yeara in TJ. fl. A. with the Rockefeller Foun dation, all months in France and In several other medical centers. Think Inn that you might be Interested : asked him about the diseases of cam els. "Very complicated, very compli cated Indeed," said the Egyptian vet, Most of tho trained men In the Egyptian department of agriculture are trained by the unit of California. HHHE waiter In the dining car was 1 very sad "Only six passengers. There alwaya were 80 or 100, now never any mora than alx or eight "Why don't they give up running the train then?" In horror "Give up running the Orient Expreasl Oh no, no we hope yea, we nope. "How un-un apl What do you think we are barbarians?" his retreating back seemed to demand. Of course . it all dates from the Ansschluss which has made foreign visitors very scarce In Germany, Hungary and the Bavarian Alps. The country la over-run with huge auto bua loads of Germans, with Oermans in little autos and on mot orcycles. Due to credit and cash re strictions It Is difficult for the Oer mans to travel except In their own country and In Italy. This really started out to be an appreciation of Hungarian who are wonderrully sympathetic and Joy lov ing. For Instance, we took a street ear to St. Margaret Island yester day and when the oonductor could not understand ua several passen gers came to our rescue with French, German and a little English, we were escorted to the new car when we transferred and assisted off-at the proper station by hand wavlnga. In the park a policeman helped us se cure the bus and upon our return a busy housewife took us under her wing to eee us safely home They smile easily which is startling In grim Europe. They love gypsy music and stand outside the restaurants listening to the famoua Gene bands. We visited the famous bath where there are two huge swimming tanks. In one there are two dozen aprlngi under water which bubble up with eonalderable force making the water aU marcelled like a glrl'a hair In the other artificial surf with break ing waves five feet htgh, are made In some Ingenious way with electric ity. It was an extraordinary eight to see the bathers In the surf I should have been more tempted than I was had it been a sunny day. Tee Buda pest Is decidedly the only city so far found by ua that would be poe alble aa a permanent residence. Here one could be readily contended. I AM reading names on the depot which 22 yeara ago were written In fire and blood. Reims, Amiens. Abbeville will that happen again? We are parading the chemln des dame right now. But somewhere to Ita secrets are known to the French the east of ua la the Maglnot line, staff and probabiy also to the Ger man general staff but not to the casual traveler, I aee a peasant there forking man ure onto hla field and also he la In dirt brown or horlson blue with a bayonet. He ha had two yeara train ing In army and now at a reservist he still receives training. Just for a minute, consider It I Every young msle In all Europe re ceives at least two yeara training In Boldlerlngl And from birth to deatn he and his sister In present day Germany are at the orders of the generals and racketeera. PERHAPS you will teel that I am obsessed with war. Let ua tup poae that flat cars loaded with tanka and mobile cuna. large and small, stood on the SOS. siding In place of P P I, cara.

That In German) all Jewish children must be nsme! 1 Israel or srah Thst bomb proof cellars are Installed all tltrouKh lrn dou and that thrifty Biltnh famine I are storing food and water under ground. These are all things, except the laat, which have come under my own observation In the past three months. Perhapa it la none of our business on the other side of the Atlantic, but If world trade means anything to ua It la our business. It la Just aa much our business as it Is the business of The Loop In Chicago to take notice of and clean up Cicero. No one knowa what will happen here even from day to day Everything depends upon the whim of Hitler. It seems Incredible that such a dictatorship could be. but apparently it la a fact. It Is not even necessary for him or for Mua solinl to confer with associates. The word of the boea is supreme In every way. A BOOK of great enlightenment Is "Britain and The Dictators," by Seton Watson. Also there Is "The House thst Hitler Built" and "In aanlty Fair," neither of which I have read but which are very Interesting I have been told. Once In a while one hears the question: "What la the matter with England? Why doesn't she step Ir. and atop it?" It would be much less heroic, much easier and perhaps much more effective for the US.A. to stop It. But would you vote In favor of Interference? In either case England has a hard decision. If she shoulf break now with Germany or Italy the bom bardment of London and other Eng lleh cities would be appalling. To sav that she could bomb Berlin Is only to double the catastrophe. Un questionably she Is getting Into a better position daily to say "You have gone too far back down." but time la working all on her side and she csn afford to play tho waltlruj gnme. In fact ehe must do so. Financially England Is supreme and In the end that will count Too. there Is the hatred by powerful Jewish, nationalist and over run minorities always ready with a dag ger to thrust In the dictator back. It would be strange for an outsider to have any conception of the un derground plots going on against the dictators but there la no need to be psychic to feel the discontent. It etlcka up like the water tower on Pierce hill for all to see. Talent TALENT, Sept. 7. (Spl.) A re union of the GrahBm tamiiy was held at the homo of Mr. and Mra. A. Graham, Sunday.

E OF GOLD IS FOUND IN FOREST AREAS Assays Show Only Trace of Precious Metal in Land Proposed for Promotion Three Spots Tested Only a trace of gold was found In samples taken from three different spot In the Rogue River national forest on which a string of claims has been filed In a proposed mining promotion, according to an assay re' port In possession of forest service headquarters here. The samples were procured recently by William H. Frledhoff, mineral ex aminer of the United States forest service for regions 5 and 6 with head quarters In San Francisco. The as says were made by E. M. Kirk, Sail Francisco. One sample was taken from the bottom eight feet of sand In a pit In section 20. No colors of gold were visible after panning but a heavy concentrate was obtained which was saved for assaying, the forest service report states. No Gold Apparent A similar sample was taken from a pit near Union Creek adjacent to tho perk highway. Aside from a heavy concentrate no other values were apparent, according to the re part. The concentrate was kept for assaying . A third sample was taken at a point at the lower end of the Castle Creek campground where the creek cuts through bedrock. While no col ors of gold were visible a heavy con centrate was obtained which also was saved for assay, the report asserts. The samples were sent to the Kirk firm to be fused and the total con tents determined. The results, on a yardage basis, were given as follows: Sample No. l--.05 cents per yard. Sample No. 2 .02 cents per yard. Sample No. 3 .04 cents per yard. A cubic yard Is the equivalent of about a ton. High Costs Foreseen Mr. Frledhoff stated In his report that while he dtd not know what type of equipment It was contem plated using In the proposed exploi tation, any kind of operation In the forest areas would be extremely ex pensive. It was Indicated 'that opera tions would not be profitable unless the savings per yard were extremely high. A group of men. of whom P. L. Yarb rough of Sacramento, Cel., ap pears to be the leader, some time ago filed mining claims covering most of sections 16, 17, 18, 10, 20 and 21 of township 31 south, range 3 east, W. M. Claims also were located on Castle and Union creeks above the forest ranger station. In order to have a record of Its own pertaining to the mineral val ues of the land, the forest service made the tests results of which are noted In the report now on file. Increase Seen In Klamath Students KLAMATH FALLS. Sept. 8. An opening day registration of 1034 stu dents at Klamath Union high school and a second-day Increase of 138 pu pils In the elementary grades today gave Klamath Falls a total school population of 2.892, slightly more than the figure for the correspond ing dny last year. County unit schools also opened today, but reports on enrollment were not Immediately available. FIRE CHIEFS TO MEET IN PENDLETON MONDAY PENDLETON.

C. dimming, (ten. tMnsrr Acrnt, IMttoi-k Work, INTtl.ind UNION PACIFIC J. C. Barnes Writes President Regarding Dumping of Pears To the Editor: rind enclosed letter trom Mr. Hendrlckaon, director of economic In. formation In the department of agri culture. Mr. Reter aaya "the cull pear dump 1 a necessity." I say It Is a shame ful, criminal waste. On the bottom of the picture of cull pears I sent to the President, I wrote as follows: "Pears dumped for lack of purchasing power. Food pit for a King." Mr. Reter says "they are pears not marketable or aultable for any use whatever." I contend they could and would be used and would become marketable If the 32 million family unit In the United Statea had pur chasing power enough, that Is enough money each week to enend, to match our capacity to produce gooda and services. The pears I had photo graphed were unmarketable, not be cause they were culls, but because our family Units many of them have never tasted a pear have too little purchasing power. The trouble with Mr. Reter Is that he sees no other way out except through curtailment of production, contraction, limiting the houra of work per week and like measures. He haa a aubtractlon complex. He la branded with that "short, sad, red bar of sorrow," the minus sign. He believes In the "outworn and obso lete conception of a scarcity of money." I believe In addition without aub tractlon. I believe In substituting a controlled abundance of money for the conception of a scarcity of money. I believe In expending cur rency In the currency stream until purchasing power Is built up to match capacity production, then the shame ful, criminal waste the photograph In question depicts will be ended. Each family unit now uses on an average only four cans of peara a year. If we can so Increase pur chasing power that each family unit will eat six cans, or perhaps eight cans of pears per year, there will no longer be this "cull pile" that Mr. Reter now feels so sure is necessary. Mend our economy so all workers will have full time employment and our old folk have a "fair, adjusted compensation" for the service they have rendered In creating capital equipment and for which they have had 'as yet no settlement, and spend ing power will be so Increased that a market will be created for all farm product we are able to raise. Currency Control Court. A currency control court, organized aa the supreme court of the United Statea I organized, put In charge of a Aoclal credit bank empowered to buy government bonds bearing one tenth of one per cent rate of In terest when these bonds are author ized by congress. Is the only machin ery neceasary to set up. The national banking act, enacted In 1863, pro vides a way by which a circulating medium la created. That act pro vldea that when a banking company In thla case It would be the Fed eral Social Credit bank deposits with the treasurer of the United States government bonds, then the comp troller of currency Is authorized to print and deliver to the bank legal tender money to the amount of the par value of the bonds. This la a regular, orthodox and constitutional method of expanding the amount of currency In circulation. In this man ner the government could raise money without Incurring an unbearable In terest burden s the bonds would only bear one-tenth of one per cent rat of Interest. The government could put this money In circulation by paying It out as an old age pen Do you like ill11 00? 01" TAKE :wlnn 1 OOP! sion of S50 a month to retired work ers. There would be no taxation, no subtraction, no taking away from Peter to pay Paul. When purchasing power was built up to match capac ity to produce then the account could be balanced by a small tax on labor Income and a tax on surplus earnings. Another way of placing the cur rency so raised In the currency stream would be to refinance long-term debts such a farm loans, home loans and the bonds of legal subdivisions at the rate of one-half of one per cent, or one per cent rate of Interest, with no payment on the principal for three to ten years. This money would be retired from the currency stream aa the principal of these debts was paid off. These long-term debts amount to 134 billion dollars. I find It very difficult In the pear raising business I am engaged In to prosper under present economic con ditions. Therefore, I seek to change these condition without abolishing private ownership of capital equip ment or destroying our democratic form of government. If Mr. Reter will spare one hour from his pear culling enterprise to call at my office, or at my home some evening. I will show him the detail of my plan for a "controlled abundance of money" which, when made effective will turn the "cull pile" he I ao ashamed of Into mar ketable products. Tour for a controlled abundance of money, j. o. BARNES. The letter from Mr. Hendrickson follows: Mr. J. C. Barnes, Medford, Oregon. Dear Mr. Barnea: Your letter of December 18. addressed to President Roosevelt, has been referred to this bureau. We have read It with Inter est and are retaining It for further study by membera of our economic staff. I am much Impressed by the pic ture which you enclosed showing pears dumped because of unprofitable price. This la a atrlklng picture and certainly tells its story very effec tively. We would be glad to have the negative of this picture. If you care to loan It or to send It, for permanent preservation In our file. I think we might be able to put such a Picture a thl to uses which may help In the long run to reduce the frequency of such scenes. Please give this request consideration. I am very glad to have had the opportunity of reading your letter. Sincerely youra. . ROY F. HENRICKSON, Director of Economic Information. Washington, D. c. January B, 1938. Refuse To Remove Salem Airport Head SALEM, Sept. 8. (JP) A petition by 13 filers demanding the removal of Leo Arany as manager of the Sa lem airport were rejected by the city council last night when It approved a report of the airport committee. The committee declared that the charges made against Arany were ex travagant and exaggerated, and that the petitioners were about the same group that opposed the original ap potntment of Arany. The petitioners had Includd In their chargea allega tions that Arany waa overbearing. In competent, negligent of the port and that his methods were driving pat rons to other airports in the valley.

Remember the earthquake sequence of "San Francisco"? Remember the gale of "Hurricane" and the fire of "Old Chicago"? Those were catas trophes of natuer which solved the human equation In screen plots. Totally different, yet every bit as effective as temblor, hurricane or conflagration. Is the menace of a glacier In "Spawn of the North." If that doesn't make you gasp, then nothing will. The background of the story is salmon fishing Alaska. In the days of long ago. The action revolves about attempts of pirates to steal the catches of honest fishermen. Besides the aspect of the picture, there are George Raft. Henry Fonda. Dorothy Lamour, Aklm Tamlroff. John Barrymore, Louise Piatt and Lynoe Overman In leading roles. The principal conflict Is between Raft and Fonda, who as close friends part company, the one turning to fish piracy, the other to upholding law and order. Miss Lamour dis cards her sarong for the heavy wool ens of the near Arctic, and In a role entirely different from those which she has played before, as a girl who loses her misguided lover. Tamlroff has one of the most villainous roles he has ever playrd, as leader of the pirates, while Barrymore and Overman supply the comedy that acts as relief for the powerful drama. So you want action? "Spawn of SLIGHT CASE M hS0f HySTERICSlilp M Damon Runyon'i hilarious com- tt,Z':?j ' J; edy hits the screen with an explo- IJfiZfyJ,' A sion of mirth!
