PAGE SEVEN ' .'i-?-fJ!,ri' Day's CNewsil By FRANK JENKINS AMERICAN gamblers win about $1,314,945 in the first day's draw in the Irish sweepstakes. They got back about HALF as much as they put in. Economists will point out that in the transaction British exchange benefited to the ex tent of more than a million dollars. HERE'S a tip for Hitler, Sta lin, Mussolini, et al, who are all badly in need of foreign exchange to finance purchases of needed raw materials not produced in their countries: -Start a lottery of some sort. American saps will fall for It. They fall for ALL the get-rich-quick schemes. CPEAKING-of finance, here are some figures worth di gesting: Since January of this year, the U. S. treasury has spent $2,021,100,497 and has taken in 51,629.591,090, leaving a DEF ICIT of $1,291,509,406. (Note that the figures are all in bil lions). In the same period last year, the deficit was only $997,939, 596. In other words, we're going into debt DEEPER THAN EVER. 1 A LITTLE less oratory about embargo acts and a lot more HARD-HEADED BUSI NESS SENSE are what we real ly need in congress. yHE German papers don't mention the Turkish treaty, but a Berlin dispatch says: "On the whole, the nazi political world appeared STUNNED by the treaty which last night made Turkey, Germany's world war ally, a partner of Britain and France."

M Washington, Oct. 21. Among the anomalies of our haphazard government, not the least stag gering is the fact that the great economic experiments of these last years have been undertaken with a minimum of reliable in formation on the true state of the American economy. Up-to-date, representative fig ures on business conditions, em ployment trends and the like are pressingly necessary. The large staff of new deal economists have done their best to supply them in an informal way, col lecting and arranging the unco ordinated data available from government and private sources. In order to have a con stant check, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgcnthau, Jr. long ago made a deal with twenty-five of the country's big gest corporations to supply him secretly with weekly sales and future orders figures. These are seen, however, only by the secre tary and the president, to whom they are shown every Monday, during the regular Roosevelt Morgenthau luncheons. LET'S BE FRANK ABOUT IT 0 For a long time, Medford has been known as a community appreciative of outstanding musical attractions . There have always been requests to bring Medford some of the "big name" attractions of the concert world . . . m. This year Medford will play host to three of the greatest concert attrac tions erer presented here names that are known wherever musle-lovers gather . . . m OSSY RENARDY Is undoubtedly the m0,t sensational "find" In his field since Jehudl Menuhln flashed on the scene ... a brilliant 18 year old Viennese violinist who stood the na tion's critics on their respective ears last year . . . and left them limp with his genius ... m. DONALD DICKSON Is well known to rsdlo fans through nis appearances on the Chase and Sanborn programs ... but he Is even better known as one of the most talented to say nothing of being the most handsome baritone of" the Metropolitan Opera An n. ... m. MARIAN ANDERSON, of course, needs no Introduction. Long before she became known to the general public through Mrs. Roosevelt's publie admiration, this world-famed colored contralto has been the delight of music-lovers. Her appearance in Med ford is unquestionably one of the biggest events that's ever happened here ... It will be her only appear ance between San Francisco and Port land during the year of 1940. m, Renardy, Dickson and Anderson . . there's never been a series like this before In Medford. And. to be per fectly frank about it, If Medford turns out for the series as expected, and proves that It REALLY DOES WANT "BIO NAME" ATTRACTIONS .... next year's series will bring more world-famed artists here. m So. IT'S UP TO YOUI Do you want "big name" attractions? The ONLY WAY to know is by your response io season ticket sales, and by your turn out for each artist's appearand . . .

Members from Rose burg, Ashland. Grants Pass and Medford are expected to attend. Speakers for the evening will include two Medford dentists. Dr. Walt E. Hoppe and Dr. George K. Goodrich.

This need la about to ba filled. If all goes well, as a part of Under Secretary Edward Noble's reorganisa tion of the commerce department.

He will need to keep them open, for the first problem he Is going to run Into la the ever-present problem of patronage and pork. Dealing with the hacks and getting rid of unneed ed branch offices, he will Infuriate the congressional patronage and pork hounds. The same kind of senators and representatives, by fighting for scores of useless little army posts, are responsible for the army's Inability to maneuver aa a large fighting unit. They are just as fond of burcnu branch offices as they are of army posts, and they will undoubtedly try to get their claws on -.he new expert Jobs.

Marysville, Cal., Oct. 21. (AP) The Marysville city li brary owed a vote of thanks to O. E. Rice of Grants Pass, Ore., today. En route to the Golden Gate international exposition, Rice left the library a book, printed in 1901 for the Marys ville fire department, contain ing pictures of the department and city council. 4 Closing time for Too Late to Clna lfy Ads is 1:80 p. m. The fact Is that another chapter la going to be written In the curious history of the bureau of forplgn end domestic commerce. When President Hoover headed the commerce depart ment, this bureatt was his special pet and, when he left the White Houne tn 193S, It wa a rery great establish ment. Then President Roosevelt Is sued his economy orders, and his first rommerce secretary, old Uncle Dan Roper, possibly remembering that most of the Hoover appointees must be Republicans, bravely cut the bureau In half. Having gone so far. Uncle Dan then attempted to Improve the remains by stuffing a deserving Democrat Into the bureau here and there. Throughout Roper's regime at com merce, therefore, the bureau was completely Ineffectual, except for the work of lta national Income expert. Robert Nathan, and one or two other Isolated men. Then, a few months ago. the president prepared the way for a reorganl ration by transferring the bureau's foreign service to the state department. And now the re organization Is to be carried out, with emphasis on building up reliable ma chinery for reporting on the economic state of the nation. The bureau's twenty-sU regional offices, scattered Insanely across the countryside, are to be consolidated Into twelve offices corresponding to the twelve federal reserve districts. A career sorvloe of about 1A0 econom ists, statisticians and analysts Is to be established. Tor the first time, the region si offices will be required to keep In touch with the main Industries In their regions, to form confidential relations with the most representa tive firms, and to get the full fact on regional business conditions. The bureau's Innumerable divisions will be merged Into three main ones, under the headings, "industrial,' "International" nd "research,' and the bureaus work will be coordinated with that of the department of agrl cultures eoonomlats and other neatt of government thinkers. The end objective, of course, will be ta have an always current, always dependable and always embracing Finns Sing Farewell. Helsinki, Oct. 21.

WATERHOLE FEUD NETS LIFE TERM Burns, Oct. 21. (AP) A Harney county circuit court jury convicted James D. Burke of first degree murder today and recommended imprison ment for life without eligibility for parole. Burke, indicted last May, testified he shot Frank Dobkins. Wagontire cattleman, in self de fense. The men, who had not seen each other since the pre vious November, met on horse back in a ranch lane at Wagon tire, scene of notorious Oregon wnterhole disputes.
