APPLEGATE SCALES CAPIIOL'S STATUE It DH'K APrr.KOATE L'nlli'il Press Stall rorresniinilent SALEM OP) We climbed to the top of the statue which surmounts Oregon'! new cepltol building re cently, thereby registering another Booop for United Press. We found out several things from Bob Pulton, head of the three-man crew applying gold leaf to the bronze figure, The leaf. Fulton said, will endure for at least a generation, when new gold will have to be applied. In. the meantime the statue can be washed with a cloth and water whenever necessary. The gold, pounded so thin that any hr7j win blow It awav. Is applied directly to wet slalng, either by hand I or with a small brush. If the nrusn Is used, It Is first rubbed In the hair ,n on atatt, nlectrtcltv enouah to life the metal. It Is then smoothed Irito place with absorbent cotton, which gives a fine polish. No ham mers are used In putting the gold In place. . Only one thlcknoss of gold Is ap plied. A three-by-four Inch piece of the stuff looks expensive, but when ground between the thumb and fin gers It rolls into a ball so tiny It can hardly be seen, Pulton soouted the story that a 30-dollsr gold piece, pounded out, would cover the entire statue. It would oover a major portion of It, he sold, but not all. He refused to make an estimate of the. weight or value of the gold to be used on the entire project. Fulton said the present Job was the largest he ever worked on. and as far as he knows Is the largest ever attempted west of Chicago. He also said that In the three weeks slneo the work began, this pudgy correspondent was the only one to muster the energy to acalo the shaky scafoldtng to the statue's head. "Most of them," he said looking at us pointedly, "wait until we go down for lunch before osklng ques tions." The 19S8 production of turkeys In Missouri Is expected to be five per cent greater than In 1037.

SEES TUNA OFF COAST TO STAY ASTORIA (UP) There are many r,lnln. . to hOW lOllC tUll flsb have been lurking off the Oregon coast, but they will be there from now on In tne opinion 01 . Bentley. newly appointed head of a tuna canning pian o .1... cntjtnrU thnt the flAh follow tha Japanese current, which he says la closer to the Oregon coast this year than usual. He said h fish hsre always been In the eurrent, but that the current had to swing closer to shore before fishermen dis covered tha fact. Salmon fishing, long the basic Industry here. Is car ried on closer to the ooast than tuna, are generally found. "The fish have been In that cur rent as far back as I can rent -ml -'r, and possibly some years In the fu ture the boats may have to go a little further out after tuna," Bent ley said, "Astoria had better think about lt housing situation, for the tuna Industry Is here to stay and It la going to bring a good many more families to the community," he concluded. TACT. SEVEN FORGET POLITICS WHEN VOTING, IS MAHONEY'S PLEA Torg4 politics and rote for the needs of the state when you go to the polls on November 8," Willis Mahoney, Democratic candidate for the U. 8, senate, advised a large audience last evening who gathered tn the Townsend hall. Mr. Mahoney said the state needs a Democratic senator to work hand tn -hand with Republican Senator Charles McNary so that the team may do more good for Oregon. Telling his audience that he would abolish child labor forever, and that he is in favor of a suitable pen sion for old people, the speaker said th present state pension plan li a disgrace to humanity and that it ia the definite obligation of the fed eral government to accept an ade quate pension plan. The candidate stated he Is In faror of a transac tion tax of 2 per cent to meet pen sion payments. Ha. declared he had been a staunch supporter of the Townsend plan since Its Inception and opposed to the present social security pension plan. In speaking of war Mahoney said he Is bitterly opposed to the United States entering Into any foreign en tanglements and is in favor of tak ing the profits out of war. He stated that the United States flag should not be used for protection "such as in the case of the reoent Panay In cident,' Mr. Mahoney said preservation of the Ideals of Americanism should be safeguarded by never allowing the ninny "isms" to be planted upon American soil, concluding that In following such a leader as President Roosevelt such things can be avoid od. Mr. Mahoney waa Introduced by Porter J. Neff, Medford attorney, at last night's meeting. The Democratic candidate for the U. S. senate will speak over radio station KMED at 6:46 this evening. He will be introduced to his ntdto audience by U. S. Senator A. Evan Reames. -4.
