WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 Arranage
ments are shaping up for Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace's so
called "two-priced system," which Is
really a scheme for huge distribu
tions of surplus commodities to the
needy poor. The scheme may sound
visionary It calls for supplying the
dietary deficiencies of the needy by
selling them farm products at spec
Is! low prices. But a practical try
out Is already In sight.
The fact Is, New York's Mayor Flo

convert. Some time ago he establish
ed a chain of milk depots, where the
poor may show certificates of need
and purchase milk below the market
price. Recently.. Wallace called In
the bouncing little mayor, told him
about the "two-price system," 'and
urged him to use his depots for the
sale of other commodities besides
milk. After some hesitation, Ia -Guard!
a gave In, and. unless there is
a hitch, vegetables, fruits and meat
will soon be available in New York
at poor people's prices. The high
quality of La Guard la's administration
makes New York the Ideal city for

Other mayors are also being urged
to establish distribution systems, and
everything Is being done to conciliate
the naturally fearful smalt mer

department Is having difflcultles'"for

Southbound Transport
Blown Off Path After
Leaving Medford Port
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29. (AP) Two men escaped
and' five other persons were believed to have drowned when a
big transport plane was forced down on the ocean north of
San Francisco today, her fuel exhausted by a five and a half
hour struggle to find her way through a maze of radio signals.
Coast guardsmen hauled Pilot
Charles Stead ol Seattle and Isadore
R. Edelstein, a passenger, up the
300-foot cliff beneath which the
plane was shattered by rough seas,
and remarked:
"It looks like the others are gone."
Pilot Was Veteran
Stead, 42-year old veteran of the
United Airlines run from Seattle to
San Francisco, blamed the disaster
on radio reception which "was too
good. There were so many signals
coming in it was difficult to pick
out the right ones."
Elaborating on the confusion of
radio signals, Stead explained:
"We had so much on the radio that
we could not get anything." In this
confusion he was unable to ptck out
his own radio beam to follow it into
Oakland.
Previous reports had told of a bat
tle with cross-winds and head-winds
which reportedly reached a velocity
of 84 miles an hour, but Stead In
sisted "We didn't have any weather
at all."
Gasoline Exhausted
Forced over the ocean In the early
morning hours before dawn, Stead
dropped flares and saw only huge
cliffs towering above the rough wa
ter. When his gasoline was gone.
he drew up the landing gear and
alighted on the water.
"There was absolutely no hysteria
and everybody was calm," he said.
"When it began to get daylight, the
others began disappearing one by

TORONTO, Ont.. Nov. 29 (UP)
Premler Mitchell F. Hepburn of On

that the Dtonne quintuplets would
not be on exhibit at the New York
World's fair next year. The glrla
physician. Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, and
their father. Ollva Dtonne both are
opposed to the plan, he said.
Hepburn Issued this statement:
"Dr. Defoe told me today that
he was definitely opposed to the
girls going to the World's fair In
New York. Dlonne, the babies'
father, stated Saturday .that he wa
as much opposed as a guardian as
he was as their father to the Idea.
I heartily concur in the attitude
taken by these two gentlemen. As
far as the government of Ontario la
concerned that settles the subject."
It was understood here that
G rover Whalen. head of the fair
corporation, had made an original
offer for the girls' appearance

REPUBLICAN PURGE
OF REACTIONARIES
New York Liberal Leader
Who Managed Dewey
Campaign Says Election
Shows Drift From F.D.R.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. (AP)
Kenneth F. Simpson, liberal Repub
lican leader In New York, declared
today his party must rid Itself of
"reactionary influences of the past."
Simpson made this statement as
the Republican national committee
convened to canvass GOP election
victories and formulate plans for
party work during the next two
years.
The young, red-moustached Simp
son, who managed Thomas E, Dewey's
New York gubernatorial campaign,
was assured of a seat on the na
tional committee when the New York
state Republican committee refused
yesterday to block his election.
Succeeds HI lies
He waa accepted by the national
committee this morning as the suc
cessor to Charles D. Hllles. who re
signed. Also accepted for membership
on the committee were William P.
Knowland of Oakland. Cal., and Mrs.
E. L. Moulton, of Albuquerque, N. M.
Simpson, regarded as one of the
leaders In the liberal wing of the
party, told reporters the recent elec
tion returns "showed the people have
left the president."
"But they will turn to the Re
publican party for leadership only if
they are sure It Is not under the
domination of Mr. Hoover, the Lib
erty league or some of the reaction
ary influences of the past," the New
Yorker said. ' v
"If. we turn that way toward re
action) we might oa well fold up.
If, however, we look forward and not
backward and choose standard bear
ers from the wealth of fine, new
forward-looking leaders that recent
elections have brought forth we can
not mlaa In 1940."
Candidates Discussed
There was much Informal discus
sion among committee members to
day of a possible Republican pres
idential nominee for 1040.
Namea mentioned most frequently
were those of Dewey, John W.
Brlcker, recently elected governor of
Ohio, and Robert Taft, Ohio senator
elect. Plainly Jubilant over party gains
In congress and state capltols, com
mittee members echoed the state
ment of Chairman John Hamilton:
"Republicans in every part of the
country appear to be united in the
thought we should push ahead. . . .
On to 1040 Is the slogan."
There was some division of senti
ment in the committee as to Just
how far Republicans should go along
with an tl-Roosevelt Democrats In
the next session of congress.
The consensus, however, appeared
to favor a continuation of such a
coalition, which shelved the court
and government reorganisation bills
In the last congress.

on the Old Stage road at 11 o'clock'
this morning after a long Illness.
Funeral services, to be conducted
by the Rev. E. S. Bsrtlam, will be

Miss Carlton waa born In Elizabeth,
March 33, 1883. She was the daugh
ter of the late William J. and Helen
Carlton. Since a young girl sha
hsd been Interested In children, and
all through her life she gave much,
of her time snd attention to serving
schools, child placement, eto.
She came to the Rogue river valley
In the summers of 1016, '1? and '10
and finally settled here permanently
tn 1030. She at o'nee allied herself
with health Interests here. Later, tha
Jackson County Public Health assoc
iation was formed, and Miss Carlton
was persuaded to take the leadership.
Under her direction, tha entire coun
ty was organized. She helped es
tablish the county unit and county
board of control, and since then tha
unit has Increased in scope until now
It includes a full time health officer...
sanitary engineer, secretary and five
nurses.
At the time of Judge Alex Spar
row's death, Miss Carlton felt th
urge to establish the Sparrow Memor
ial clinic for children, and she met
with generous response from organi
zation, and citizens, opening up the
only such work In the state. To have
boys and girls start life In nearly
perfect health has been the ambition
of Miss Csrlton for the paat 13 years.
Today, there Is a Isrge group of men
and women working In the various
communities to train their members
to be health minded. It seems
strange that what waa coveted for
