PAGE FOTTR MEDFOHD MAIL THTBUNE. fEDFOHD. O'REGOy, THTTRSDAY, OCTOBER 13," 1938, WHEELER UNITES WITH LABOR UPON RAIL WAGE SLASH WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (AP) Chairman Wheeler (D., Mont.) ot the acnate Interstate oommerce commit tee advocated today centralization of government control of all forma ot transportation, Including railroads, trucks and water carriers. The Montana senator, here to test ify for the rail brotherhoods before the president's fact-finding board, said he believed there was "no Just ification" for the railroad's attempt to force through a IS percent pay out. The brotherhoods have voted to strike rather than accept the pay cut. Wheeler In suggesting all transpor tation operate under the aama con trols, was In agreement with George Harrison, rail labor spokesman. Harrison made that one of his points In a suggested long range program, under which labor, man agement and the federal government would team up to rehabilitate the carriers. He pleaded with manage ment to withdraw Its pay cut de mand, for the benefit of all three. "I think something ought to be done at the next session of congress," Wheeler declared, "about establishing centralized control of transporta tion." "The railroad complain truck and You'll Enjoy Thl$ DELICIOUS CEREAL I I. . for steaming hot reakfait porridge and UH In all baking. Tempt ing nut-like flavor. At all grocsrs.

The only way this thing can b worked out 1 to put all transportation under one board." Asserting ht belief a wag out would be of little benefit to the rail roads la the long run, Wheeler de. clared! "What the railroad need Is more business. "When a depression comes, ths railroads always mike the mistake of cutting wages and asking for rat Increases. Where would the auto In dustry be If It tried to relse the prices ot Its product In a depression?" RRIGATION FUND WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. UP) The public works administration gave 70,000 to the reclamation bureau today for use on two western Irriga tion projects.

The second provided none of the funds could be be spent until agree ment was reached that suits In fed oral court here over water rights would be kept Inactive until April 1, 1040.

TELESCOPE' SHOWS JUPITER HIT BY TERRIFIC STORM L06 ANGELES, Oal., Oct. 13 (AP) JStorm clouds, black u coot and some 2,000 ml lei wide, were ob served on the planet Jupiter last night by Lyle Abbott, astronomer In charge of the 12-lnch telescope of Griffith observatory here. "So startling was the great black pot," Abbott reports, "that for a time those who were called In to check It were Incredulous and be lieved It was the shadow of one of Jupiter's 11 moons, moon No. 4, which at that time was passing be tween the earth and Jupiter. "A check showed Immediately, however, there could be no shadow, and we settled down to the exciting task of watching this monstrous phe nomenon swiftly passing over the face of the planet. Jupiter rotates on Its axis so fast Its day and night pass In 0 hours and 58 minutes. "The huge ebony cloud lay about 10 degrees south of the equator and appeared to be associated with one of the cloud bolts. Near It were two pearly oval-shaped areas, surrounded by the normal colored dark belt ma terial." V Abbott satd that In three years study of Jupiter nothing so densely black as this has been seen. He said speculation as to the nature of the black cloud ranged from the possi bility of a most unusual storm to a vast curtain of Inky black dust shot high Into Jupiter's upper atmosphere by a Ga-rgantuan volcano. The planet Is 402,641,200 miles farther from the sun today than the earth. f OF E MARSHPIELD, Oct. 13.
