Medford Balmy
i While other parts of the
country suffered under near
zero and sub-zero tempera
tures, Medford enjoyed a pre
season taste of spring today.
With the t e m p e r a t.u r e
reaching 49 degrees early in
the afternoon, weather here
was almost balmy for the sec
ond consecutive day. Yester
day the mercury climbed to
a high of 47. Lowest this
morning was 38.
The December wet spell
was to be extended a little
longer into January, the
weather bureau said.
By the Associated Press
Most of the United States lay
under a cover of snow today as
the severest weather of the sea
son reached the Atlantic coast.
Light to heavy snows have
fallen since Saturday in at least
28 states. It was still snowing
In New England, where temper
atures ranged from seven below
zero at Bangor, Me., to around
16 above at New Haven, Conn.
The greatest amount of snow
reported this morning was 24
Inches at Clinton, Mo. The cov
er at Fort Smith, Ark., was 18
Inches deep. It was still snowing
In some sections of Missouri.
Maryland Record
Three to IS Inches of snow
fell in Maryland, a record for
the winter, and about 200 plows
worked all night to clear the
roads. Congressmen at Washing
ton went about their business
in snow more than five inches
deep.
Ice disrupted Monongahela
river transportation and caused
a Pennsylvania coal mine to
shut down, throwing 300 men
out of work. There were light
snows reported in New York
and New Jersey.
Most of Kentucky was still
pnow-covcrcd, with the tempera
ture dropping generally from
the, low 30's. The Ohio river
was completely frozen over at
one point near Louisville.
The coldest weather since
1036 penetrated to the gulf in
southeastern Texas. Port Arthur
reported the temperature at 27
above. It was 26 above at Hous
ton and 15 above at Dallas.
Paris, in northeastern Texas,
shivered In the coldest snan In
nine years. The temperature
was seven above.
Arkansas Chilled
At Fayetteville, in northwest
ern Arkansas, the thermometer
read two above zero, the lowest
In four years.
It was snowing in Kansas,
where five inches of snow fell
Saturday, and a new cover of
mow In Iowa ranged up to sev
en Inches. Wisconsin and Illinois
had more than two Inches of
snow yesterday.
Except in the mountains,
there were no snow flakes in
California, but a general rain
in the southern part of the state
was approaching the two-inch
mark.
Portland, Jan. B.UT) South
east storm warnings fluttered
along the coast from Eureka,
Calif., to Tntoosh Islnnd, Wash.,
today, while cold winds and
overcast skies kept Oregon tem
peratures down.
The federal weather bureau
predicted unsettled weather to
night and Tuesday with light
intermittent snow or rain in
eastern Oregon and rain in the
west.
Moderately heavy snows will
fall in the mountains, although
temperatures will change little.
Burns and Bend recorded
minimum temperatures of 35
degrees today to oust Baker as
the coldest spot in the state.
London, Jan. 8. (P) In
formed sources said the British
rationing system which started
i for butter, bacon, ham and su
! gar today may be ultimately ex
tended to Include clothing and
similar materials to conserve
raw materials.
The conservation would be
coupled with a big effort to In
crease shipbuilding and ship
ping resources.
The Authoritative British
press association said the gov
ernment "may ask the country
for still greater sacrifices in the
near future, including further
rationing which may ultimately
go beyond food and even in
clude some standardization of
suits."
Royalty Unexempt
The royal family has been is
sued "commercial travellers'
cards" similar to those used by
all people who must move about
the country. At the king's re
quest, rationing will be as strict
as possible for the royal family,
and the queen has drawn up
special menus which eliminate
two courses from luncheon and
dinner.
A British attempt to corner
Germany's world markets
through a drive for trade trea
ties with German customers was
disclosed today.
Objective of the tightened
economic warfare, supplement
ing Britain's two way sea block
ade of German commerce, was
described as two fold:
1. To assure maintenance, as
far as possible, of normal peace
time trade relations with neu
trals and expand British export
trade to provide dollars and
other foreign exchange for buy
ing war materials.
2. Conversely, to assure that
not more than normal peace
time trade goes on between Ger
many and the neutrals with
whom she can deal overland
and, where possible, through
diplomacy and trade maneuver
ing to cut down Germany's Eur
opean import-export business
and deprive her both of supplies
and foreign exchange for buy
ing them.
Use Ration Books
Housewives for the first time
took ration books to market to
day to buy butter, bacon, ham
and sugar. Next Monday, they
will need their books for other
meats.
Each housewife is registered
with her merchant, and he has
been allotted supplies so she can
buy each member of her fam
ily four ounces of bacon or ham,
four ounces of butter and 12
ounces of sugar a week. For
children under six, however,
the allowance is half.
Restaurant diners do not need
coupons for the rationed foods,
but their servings are restricted
to one-sixth of an ounce of but
ter and one-seventh of an ounce
of sugar with each meal, plus
another seventh of an ounce of
sugar for each hot beverage.

Chicago, Jan. 8. (.T) Rufus
C. Dawes, 72, president of Chi
cago's a Century of Progress ex
position and brother of former
Vice-president Charles G.
Dawes, died today.
His secretary said he died
suddenly at his home.
Dawes had been in relatively
good health, his aids said, until
late Saturday night when ho
suffered a heart attack. He ral
lied yesterday, but died sudden
ly this morning.
A son, Charles C. Dawes, said
death was caused by coronary
thrombosis. Tentative arrange
ments were made for funeral
services.
DEFENSE PLANS
The new national defense pro
gram and its relation to the na
tion's security were described
by Capt. Carl Y. Tengwald at
today's luncheon-meeting of the
Kiwanls club in the Hotel Med
ford. Captain Tengwald. command
ing Company A, 186th Infantry
of the Oregon national guard,
also told of recent developments
in rifles and other equipment
of the American soldier. He ex
plained the organization of
Medford's two national guard
companies and told what they
meant to the community not
only in national and local de
fense but also as a source of
revenue.
Guests Included the Rev. L.
K. Johnson, Klamath Falls Ki
wanian, Dr. Walter E. Hoppe.
Raymond R. Reter, Ralph E.
Sweeney and Fritz Nissrn.
Stark said the plans still called
for an approximate 25 per cent
tonnage increase, but did not
specify what categories of ships
would be enlarged.
He did not make clear imme
diately whether the navy had
decided to include some battle
ships in the program, previously
omitted, or whether the change
meant the navy had decided on
battleships larger than 45,000
tons, the current maximum.
Congressional wariness of rais
ing the national debt limit ap
peared today to lessen the
chnnccs of additional defense
measures which ore being draft
ed by the war and navy deport
ments in the hope of administra
tion backing.
Both branches were reported
In administration quarters to
have been counting on prompt
approval of the $2,248,126,509
military appropriations which
Mr. Roosevelt submitted last
week to clear the way for re
quests for supplemental funds
later in the session.
Army's Sharo Short
The a r m y's $1,007,356,596
share fell far short of meeting
the general staff's estimate of
the cost of "critical" items for
the so-colled initial protective
force.
A $850,000,000 estimate orig
inally requested for additional
guns, ammunition and supplies
for a force of upwards of a mil
lion men was slashed. The war
department said only approxi
mately $53,000,000 was included
in both regular and emergency
budgets specifically for the pur
pose. If congress adopts the presi
dent's budget and votes S4B0,
000.000 for special defense taxes,
the federal deficit will approach
the $45,000,000,000 mark the
maximum set by law. There has
been no general disposition in
congress so far to move to In
crease that limit.

Tokyo, Jan. 8. (IP) The Jap
anese cabinet decided today the
time now was ripe for establish
ment of a central government
for all occupied territory in
China under Wang Ching-Wei,
former Chinese premier, now at
odds with Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-Shek.
It was understood reliably a
regime similar to those already
existing in Peiping and Nanking
would be launched immediately,
but it would not acquire actual
powers until later. The Peiping
and Nanking governments are
run nominally by Chinese co
operating with the Japanese
army.
Wang, whose final break with
Generalissimo Chiang came just
a year ago, when he was ousted
from all government and Chi
nese nationalist party offices be
cause of his friendliness with the
Japanese, has been living re
cently in Shanghai.
Declaring Wang's aims are "In
general In line with the mani
fest intentions of the Japanese
empire," the cabinet's chief sec
retary announced Japan would
"direct all possible efforts to
help in the formation and ex
pansion of the proposed new
government."
Details of the assistance to be'
given were not disclosed.

the Japanese for control of oc
cupied territory in north and
south China and the Yangtze
river valley.
Wang Ching-Wei has wielded
a powerful political influence in
Chinese political life since 1905.
A companion of Dr. Sun Yat-I
Sen in the foundation of the Chi- j
nese republic, he was named na-.
tional government chairman in
1925.
The 59-year-old leader has re
nounced his goal of an Indepond-1
ent China to assist the Japanese !
in establishing a "new order in
east Asia." He has explained his
stund thus: "We cannot defeat
the Japanese, therefore we .must'
be friends with them. They have
offered us an honorable peace." j

Washington, Jan. 8. P)
Counsel for a house investigat-1
ing committee contended today 1
the national labor relations
board had permitted a lawyer
in its employ to remain on its
stoff despite testimony that he
was partial to the CIO.
Edmund M. Tolind, attorney
for the committee, presented
records which he said showed
that witnesses in a case against
the American Radiator com
pany of Litchfield, 111., had
quoted Jack Davis, a board
lawyer, as saying:
"Of course, you know that I
am working for the CIO and the
CIO will benefit you by back
pay.
Toland named one of those
quoted as Roy Chaplin. He at
tributed other statements con
cerning Davis to H. E. EUedge.
