WASHINGTON. Nov. 16. The first
seeming disclosure of the president's
post-election mood was made the
other day by Governor Prank Mur
phy of Michigan, after a long White
House visit. Murphy deprecated third
party talk, and declared that "pro
gressives" should continue to work
within the Democratic party. He
might as well have said, "the presi
dent hasn't been frightened Into
the arms of the conservative Demo
crats. He will press forward, and let
the devil take the consequences."
The circumstances of the Murphy
visit must be remembered. He flew
down, after seeing the major third
party proponent, Mayor P. H. La
Guard la. In New York. He came as
a lame-duck, beaten for re-election
by middle class revulsion against
the New Deal's Intellectual liberal
Ism, which was what he meant oy
"progresslvlsm." While In Washing
ton, he also conferred at length with
precisely the New Dealers whoso
creat object Is the transformation
of the Democratic party Into a New
Deal or "progressive" party.
At present. It la being widely fore
east that the president will exile his
left-wing advisers and abandon his
effort to transform his party. It is
pointed out that the hands of ortho
dox Democrats have been vastly
strengthened by the election returns.
And yet Murphy, after a long chat
with the president, declared that
the fight to transform the-Democratic
party must go on. The Infer
ence, that the president will - con
tinue to lead the fight himself, Is
too obvious to need laboring.
Perhaps the president will change
his mind, when his congressional
leaders and men like Postmaster
General James A. Farley are able to
present their views to him. Probably
there will be no final showdown
between the Democrats and the New
Dealers, for the president does not
love show-downs. But, unless the
president deceived Frank Murphy,
disappointments are In store for
those who hope for the banishment
of Harry Hopkins and his friends,
and those who hope for peace within
the Democratic party.
Far from being demoralized by the
election, the New Dealers are in
clined to minimize its meaning. The

Complete Remodeling and
Addition Proposed for
Medford Federal Building
Project Long Sought
Construction of Medford'a enlarg
ed federal building will be under way
by early summer, It was stated today
by William Plath, a postoffice In
spector of Washington. D. C, who
arrived this morning to confer with
local postal executives.
Wtth Mr. Plath was W. O. Bender,
an architect in the treasury depart
ment, who brought a set of Initial
plans for the enlarged building. Mr.
Bender was to remain hero several
days, making changes in the plans
as suggested by Medford postal
executives to conform with local
needs.
Mr. Benson will return to Washing
ton with the revised plans and from
these will be drawn the final work
plans and specifications, Mr. Plath
explained. As soon as the final plans
and specifications have been com
pleted, bids will be called for. he
said. That will probably be in early
spring, he stated.
Complete Remodeling
The plans call for a complete re
modeling of the present building and
an addition thereto. The addition
will extend from the rear of the pres
ent building to within 20 feet of the
rear property line, Mr. Plath said.
It will be as wide as the present
structure lacking one foot on each
end, a set-back being provided for,
he related. The addition will be the
same height as the present building.
No additional land will be purchas
ed, Mi1. Plath said.
The entire project Involves the ex
penditure of about $240,000. ,
The front of the present postoffice
will be changed, the stone stairway
being removed for a more graceful
and beautiful approach, Mr. Plath
said.
Work Long Sought
Enlargement of the federal build
ing has been sought here for at least
10 years. The building has been long
since outgrown and It Is able to ac

statement In the torture abduction

With a Jury of eight men and four

Motives To Appear
Troy said, concluding, that the
"alleged motives" for the ' kidnaping
and attack upon Baker "may appear
directly or Indirectly" during the
trial. Previously, the prosecutor has
described the motive aa Dr. Berry's
charges that Baker was Intimate with
his 27-year-old attractive wife after

"I may say the state Is not fully

Describing what the state wilt at

Baker, Troy said:
"As Baker lay helpless on the
ground, securely tied w he could
make no resistance. Dr. Berry, with
the assistance of a flashlight held
by Reddlck, commenced to Inflict tho
most horrible tort of torture that
can be perpetrated upon a man."
Doctor Unmoved
During the statement, Baker sat
very tense and his wife beside him
shed several tears. Dr. Berry and his
wife gave no evidence of emotion.

CUES DEFECTS IN
RECOVERHFFORT
Taber Thumps Adoption of
Measures Without Tak
ing Time to Correct Errors
Farmer Control Needed
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 16 (AP)
The government's passage of measures
aimed at agricultural recovery with
out taking "time to simplify and cor
rect apparent defects" and "remove
features that could lead to regiment
ation" were thumped today In the
annual speech of Louis J. Taber. na
tional grange master, before national
conventton delegates from 38 states
and Alaska.
Asserting "In agriculture and In
government we cannot be as optlmls-
ttc as one year ago,'1 Taber urged In
a speech prepared for delivery this
afternoon elimination of compulsory
farmer regimentation and changes
In the farm board act.
Recommendations Seen
The master's speech was considered
tantamount to recommendations by
the grange's high command for fu
ture national action.
Taber asked amendment, especially
simplification, of the present farm
law and the building of a long-time
substitute program. Maintained and
Increased farmer control were on the
'must" list.
He said administration of the act
had been hampered by governmental
red tape, Its lateness and general ob
scurity. Taber pointed out there
could be no successful production eon
trol because nature "never signs on
the dotted line." Other failure were
listed to non - cooperating foreign
producers and foreign and domestic
consumers.
"There are many features of this
legislation, like soil conservation, crop
Insurance and ample crop loans,
which we have long advocated and
which must be continued In any pro
gram adopted,' Taber satd.
'We are living in an age of itop
and-go signs. We have too mueh con
trol and regimentation already."
For Tariff Draw Back
Taber declared for exploration of
"every possible method" before re
sorting to a two-price system to aid
distribution to the under-privileged.
To maintain the American price
level on exports, Taber urged utillra-
tlon of a "tariff draw-back," using
tariff revenues to lift agricultural ex
port prices.
"Wo must demand that In future
alt trade agreements and treaties shall
be ratified by the United States sen
ate before going Into effect," Taber
added.
Continuation of chemurglcal re
search to find new uses for farm pro-'
ducts, curbed governmental spend
ing, the right to organize and bargain
collectively with labor, currency re
form to obtain an "honest dollar,'
and deportation of all persons "pre
ferring" another form of government
were advocated.
Referring to the farm act, Taber
said:
"If we weigh the present act on tha
scales of farm Income and prices. It
Is obvious that It has not reached
a satisfactory goal. With the farm
dollar at near 77, and with general
marketing conditions unsatisfactory,
we find final proof of the need of
new methods to bring Justice to the
tillers of the soli.
"Many urge outright repeal of tha
law, thus wiping the slate clean for
new start. This plan might add to
confusion and cause months of de
lay while our legislative machinery
was working out ft program.
Advance On Two Fronts
"It would seem the part of wisdom
to advance at once on two fronta:
that of amending the present law,
and that of building a long-time,
substitute program. Among the
amendments needed are steps ts
simplify the law. Farmer control must
not only be maintained but Increas
ed. 8 tens that make possible com
pulsory regimentation must be elim
inated." Taber declared cooperative market
ing was making possible return to tho
farmer of a larger part of the con
turner's dollar, and "efficient co
operatives are tha sheet anchor of
stability and progress."
Sneaking of the national debt and
