Gore Burning with the fire of musical genius, equipped with technical mastery of his instrument, schooled in the form and structure of classic musical form, Ossy Renardy played a con. cert last evening at the Holly theater which will be unforget table to the large audience. His spirit seemed free for the untranimcled interpretation of music as he understood it. Did the youthful Viennese sense, as only youth can, something of the world tumult, conflict, injus tice, distress, and despair of his native land and seek to give ut terance through music to a world sweDt by emotion? It seemed so As one spectator said as he left the theater: "We shall not soon, if ever, listen again to such ce lestial playing of the violin." The clarity and classic beauty of the Corelli sonata in E minor was typical of tBe great master of the 17th century who was one of the first to understand the breadth and scope of the violin. While the dazzling speed and brilliance of the Paganini-Wil-helmj concerto in D major was breath-taking, the profound mu sical sincerity of the artist was ever uppermost. Double-stopping, chromatic work and pizza cato presented no difficulties but what were easily surmount able to the young artist. Subtla Delicacy The Schubert sonata was given with a subtle delicacy and charm surprising to those not acquaint ed with Schubert's violin com positions. There was deep plead ing and religious consecration of the "Prayer" by Hendel. The Corelli Variations on a melody by Tartini, another genius of the 17th century and transcribed for violin by the im mortal Kreisler, was given with authority and was a favorite with the audience. The Serenade Espagnolc by Chaminade, a modern French composer not often associated with the violinist's repertoire, was also a popular Kreisler transcription. The closing num ber, Zapateado by Sarasate, was a climax of bravoura, gaiety and nonchalance and was equal In BLUE RIBBON SPECIAL xr MEDFORD MAIL speed to that of Mischa Elman, with whom it was a convincing concert number. For encores the young vio linist played German Dance by Mozart, Sonatina by Paganini and Viennese Serenade by Bur master. Accompanist Outstanding Lev Shorr proved to be a capable accompanist and out standing pianist. He is a grad uate of Petrograd Conservatory of Music in Russia, and was for mer accompanist to Jehudi Menuhin, world famous boy vio linist. Upon his arrival in Medford Monday to arrange for his con cert, Ossy Renardy, in an inter view, stated "I want to play my best for Medford," and judging from the audience's response, he fulfilled this desire perfectly. 4 SKULL FRACTURED X-ray pictures have revealed that Mrs. Lovica Waymack, 64, eounty jail matron who was in jured in an automobile-pedestrian accident at Main and Bart lett street early Monday evening, is suffering from a fractured skull, in addition to a fractured hand and broken knee, her at tending physjeian said today. Mrs. Waymack has remained conscious and appears to be get ting along fairly well, the doctor stated, but added that her con dition was serious. She spent a fairly restful night, he said. Mrs. Waymack was struck by an automobile driven by A. L. Vroman as she and Mrs. Dora Robinson started to cross Main street from north to south on the west side of Bartlctt street. Mrs. Robinson, although knock ed down, was not injured, while Mrs. Wnymack's head struck the pavement. The Vroman car was traveling west on Main street and the driver told police he didn't see the two women until It was too late to avoid striking them. WORK STARTS ON P. 0. REMODELING Preliminary work was begun today on the extension and re modeling of Medford federal building as a tool house and of fice were constructed on the premises. Excavation, the actual stmt of construction, will be under way before the end of the week, it was stated by L. II. Hoffman of Portland, contractor. Mr. Hoffman arrived from Portland this morning to confer with his construction superin tendent, C. H. Post, and James L. Murphy, government con struction engineer, who will su pervise Ihc job for the federal works agency. He planned to return to Portland tomorrow. Mr. Hoffman said that local men and local materials would be given preference whenever possible. He estimated that about thirty men would be employed on the job nt the peak of opera tions. The work will take a year to complete.

E OUi IS TOPIC OF PROTEST AT COUNCIL MEET (continued iium page one) That brought the matter around to the road again and Mr. Schade asked for time to make a survey of road construc tion needs, rights-of-way and costs. Meantime it was suggested that the Lowrys try to Interest other parties, such as the county, in bearing some of the road con struction expense. Reporting for the parks and playgrounds committee. George T. Frcy said the national park service had suggested that the city make application for con tinuance of the Prescott and Bear Creek park projects for the summer period, April 1 to Sep tember 30, 1940. Under this pro ject the city would put up $1200 In materials and equipment against federal funds of $3000 plus CCC funds of $10,800 for supervising technical personnel. The council voted to make such application. Park Vote Canvassed The Bear Creek park men tioned has no connection with the park that was proposed in the recent bond election. It is the park that has been In pro cess ot development on Bear Creek to the south of town. The council canvassed the vote of the recent special elec tion and certified the result to be 494 votes for the proposed park bond issue and 1108 against it. The customary procedure of formally declaring the proposi tion defeated was followed. No one appeared at the public hearing on the proposal to in stall a water main on Berkeley Way from East Main street to Woodlawn Drive. A resolution to proceed with the installation, however, was tabled. A license was granted Howard Glascock, city fireman, to oper ate an amateur radio station at fire headquarters. It was ex plained that the council's sanc tion was necessary since the pro posed station was on city prop crty. Mr. Glascock has made a study of radio and recently took the required government exam ination to qualify for a license from the federal communica tions commission. To Name Auditor The finance committee was authorized to select an auditor to audit the oity's books, the committee to report back to 'the council on its choice, costs, etc. An October work report sub mitted by Fred W. Scheffcl and read by Thomas Rosebcrry said that numerous complaints had been received against smoke odors. At this time of year there is considerable burning ot h aves and trash and the heavy atmos phere keeps the odors close to the ground, especially in the eve ning hours, the report declared.

Dickinson, Univer sity of Illinois economist, fore sees the approach of a class struggle between age and youth. He said in an address before the Western Underwriters' as sociation at White Sulphur Springs, Va., that the "war of the pensionnaires" would unfold as a problem "far more demand ing than the oft-discussed con flict between capital and labor. Dr. Dickinson said the de creasing birth rate and the in creasing life span were causes behind the "struggle of classes in America." But he said he does not expect the struggle to become critical until 1980, when he estimated, there will be 25, 000.000 persons in the U. S. more than 65 years of age. He visioncd as possible re sults of what he predicted would be "the greatest cultural and social change since the fall of Rome" the following: Pension-taxation claiming one fourth the income of workers and employers. Destruction of the two major political parties. Control by the "hand that rocks the rocking-chair." Substitution of "votocracy" for democracy, with one of every four voters over the 65 year mark.

BRITAIN REVEALS LOSS OF BIG SUB Ocean -Going Submersible Oxley Destroyed by Ex plosion, Churchill Says London, Nov. 8 (JP) The loss of the British submarine Oxley by an accident explosion was announced to the house of com mons today by Winston Church 111, first lord of the admiralty. "Since the outbreak of the war," Churchill said, "one of our submarines, H. M. S. Oxley, has been destroyed by an ac cidental explosion in circum stances which made its publica tion inadvisable at the time." Data Undisclosed He did not disclose the place or date. (The Oxley was one of Bri tain's ocean-going submarines, completed in 1927, having a surface displacement of 1.354 tons and a normal complement of 54 officers and men.) Churchill declared three times as many British hunting croft were at work now as at the outbreak of war and that "a fairly sound, conservative esti mate" of German submarine losses was between two and four every week. "What I told the house under much reserve six weeks ago I can now repeat with more as surance namely that we are gaining a-definite mastery over the U-boat attack." Raiders Still Free Churchill attributed the loss of the battleship Royal Oak at Scapa Flow to the fact the naval base's defenses were incomplete. He estimated that Germany could produce two new sub marines weekly and added "at any rale, our expectation is that we must face one hundred U-boats in January, less what ever sinkings have occurred." Dealing with the additional menace of the surface raider Churchill said, -"It is certain that one and possibly two of the so-called pocket battleships has been out upon the Atlantic trade routes during the past six weeks." Minimizing the successes of surface raiders to date, Church ill said, "Only two ships aggre gating 10,000 tons have been sunk so far by surface action compared to 212,000 tons by U-boats. -f PLAN THIRD TRY; TO SEEK RECALL (continued irum page one) "The heart breaking work of thousands of people in this cam paign has not been in vain. Noth ing can stop the forward march of an enlightened people." Governor Olson was elected last year with the help of Ham and Egg support. The pension or ganization asserted he had as- fa catir tar aarf cocaj 7a rourift Pullmaaa (bank aura) JI12.G5 914.20 surtd It ef hii sympathy- He called yiterday'i special elec tion on the plan after more than 700,000 voters had petitioned for it, but at the same time he urged its defwt. At the close of the campaign he asserted the plan was unconstitutional. $30 Weekly The widely discussed plan would have provided pension warrants of ?30 face value week ly for all unemployed over 50 years old. It contemplated a 2 per cent weekly stamp tax to finance the warrants, which were supposed to circulate as money. The plan would have required extensive economic and taxation changes. Opponents said it would mean financial chaos, state bankruptcy and eco nomic dictatorship. Governor Olson, expressing gratification over Its defeat, as serted the outcome would en courage the speedy development of better social security meth ods In California. He is formu lating a "production for need" program for the unemployed. So great was the interest In the "Ham and Eggs" plan that an estimated 75 to 80 per cent Of California's registered voters balloted, compared to a previous special election high of 50 per cent. The full count will not be known for several days hut San Francisco, where the vote was complete, nearly 85 per cent voted. Returns from 10,023 precincts showed 1.410.267 Votes against the gasoline measure and 926, 220 for it. Favor Usury Curb An Initiative to liberalize the law governing chiropractors ap parently was snowed under. Two measures to curb usury were approved. Representative Frank R. Hav enner, a new dealer, bid unsuc cessfully for the mayoralty of can raneisco, losing to incum bent Angelo J. Rossi, 116.256 to 137,335 in an eight-sided non partisan race. California's new usury laws are two almost identical bills passed by the legislature putting brokers of small loans under state regulation and limiting in terest rates. Interest on loans of $100 or less are limited to -iVi per cent a month and between $100 and $300 to two per cent. Heretofore there has been no limit charge for this type of loan although interest on larger loans have been under state regula tion.
