The Store That Saves You Money
Portland, Dec. 28. (P) A
23-year-old woman identified as
Fay Helen Pallay leaped 10
stories to her death from the
Heathman hotel this morning.
The body, which crashed to
a curb on Southwest Salmon
street near Broadway, was iden
tified by an uncle, M. M. Smith,
who said the girl had been
despondent but he did not know
the reason.
Miss Pallay was the daugh
ter of D. N. Pallay, secretary
treasurer of the Crabbe-Pallay
Clothing company, and had been
employed by the Firemen's
Fund Insurance company for
two years.
ion, Russian troops dug in near
Salmijarvi to await reinforce
ments. War conditions were brought
home to England by announce
ment that meat and sugar ra
tioning will be instituted next
month. Plans for bacon and but
ter rationing already had been
announced.
Europe's other war remained
quiescent except for brief pa
trol clashes on the western front
and aerial engagements.
The mouthpiece of the Ger
man foreign office accused Bri
tain and France of inciting Fin
land deliberately to resist Rus
sia so that the regular flow of
supplies from northern Europe
to Germany would be disrupted
Germany normally receives
extensive iron and other basic
supplies from Sweden, who
now, alarmed at the possibility
of Russian troops on her fron
tier, is unofficially sending sup
plies, funds and volunteers to
help Finland.
PILOT REGISTRY
Washington, Dec. 28. W)
Attorney-General Murphy said
today a special grand jurv
would be convened here Janu
ary 2 to investigate espionage
and sabotage "on both coasts."
Murphy told his press con
ference some of the informa
tion developed in the proceed
ings would be "parcelled out,"
to various areas.-
The justice department chief
said the jury would hear evi
dence also in connection with
foreign agents' activities and
the building trades monopoly
inquiry.
Expressing the view it was
"difficult to halt espionage,"
Murphy said that "we can do
something about sabotage,"
through the grand jury.
"I hope the time is not far
distant," he declared, "when
foreign agents who are aliens
and .who owe allegiance to for
eign countries will be fore
gathered and placed aboard a
ship for the country which
sent them here to do their
work."
Murphy said evidence of
sabotage in the automobile in
dustry had been found in Mich
igan. He nodded his head in
assent when, asked whether the
airplane and munitions indus
tries were affected also.
To Survey Power Rales
Salem, Dec. 28. (IP) Public
Utilities Commissioner Ormond
R. Bean demanded today that
the Portland General Electric
company and the Northwestern
Electric company begin surveys
immediately preparing for re
duction in commercial rates on
next May 1.
Portland, Dec. 28. UP) The
new state board of aeronautics
adopted a plan yesterday to
discourage airplane thefts and
check the movement of pilots.
All pilots will be required to
register their craft at every
landing point.
Board members said the com
pulsory registration of plane
movements would provide au
thorities with valuable clues in
searching for missing pilots.
A revised system of licensing
planes used only in intrastate
flight and not under federal li
cense was considered. The board
appeared inclined to dispense
with the services of a state
inspector and place responsi
bility on the licensee.
There has been no Inspector
since the resignation of Allan
D. Greenwood.
Washington, Dec. 28. (IP)
The Dies committee recom
mended today that Colin Ross,
whom it described as a "nazi
propagandist," be prevented
from ever setting foot again on
American soil.
Ross has been registered at
the state department as an
agent for various German in
terests, including a motion pic
ture company, but' the commit
tec expressed the opinion in a
formal statement he had not re
ported the full scope of his
activities.
World War Spy
The committee reported de
clared that during the World
war Ross was a "German spy
and secret service agent." He
has been in the United States
intermittently in recent years
and sailed for Japan Inst March.
He is now believed to be in
Germany, and there has been
no public indication that he
wished to return to this coun
try. The committee summarized
some of its findings as follows:
"That many of the speaking
engagements in this country
featuring Ross were arranged
for by the various nazi con
sular officials situated through
out the nation and that he was
promoted by, and spoke for,
gatherings of the German
American bund.
. "That Fritz Kuhn, fuehrer of
the German-American bund, in
recent testimony before this
committee admitted his ac
quaintance with Ross.
Toured States
"That Ross was instrumental
in having 30 American boys
taken to Germany and that the
greatest part of the expense of
this trip was paid for by various
subdivisions of the nazi govern
ment and some alleged German
Americans residing in Germany.
"That within the past 12
months Ross toured the United
States with his wife, sons, and
uniformed chauffeur in a special
Mercedes automobile, equipped
witli motion picture camerns
and that he appeared to have
funds far in excess of his re
ported earnings from nazi agen
cies. "That he attempted to photo
graph several specialized indus
trial plants and that at least
one American refused to comply
with Ross' requests because they
were so extremely derogatory
to the best interests of the
United States."
