NORTON LECTURE
ON FAR EAST HAS
PUBLIC INTEREST
Spontaneous interest that de
veloped yesterday following an
nouncement of the lecture indi
cated that a capacity audience
would hear Robert Norton when
he speaks on far eastern ques
tions at 8 tonight in the Medford
senior high school auditorium.
Mr. Norton, considered an
authority on the Far East, will
talk on "America's Role in Pa
cific Affairs." His lecture is
sponsored by the Jackson Coun
ty League of Women Voters, a
non-partisan organization whose
purpose is to disseminate un
biased information on current
issues. The lecture is free and
the public is invited.
Mr. Norton, an associate edi
tor of China Today, has lectured
in all parts of the United States.
Canada and Mexico on the Far
East. He is described as an un
usually gifted platform speaker
and comes to Medford highly
recommended. He was graduat
ed from the University of Wash
ington, Seattle, in 1922, prac
ticed law for a time in Seattle
and was associated with the
Washington state department of
public instruction in 1923. Be
cause he was educated in the
northwest, it is said that he has
a keen and natural understand
ing of the direct effect of far
eastern policies on Oregon and
Washington.
His lecture tonight is consid
ered particularly pertinent be
cause of the trade difficulties
now existing between the Unit
ed States and Japan and the
effort to negotiate neV agree
ments. It is this phase of the
current situation that concerns
business especially and because
of the importance of the trade
relations the League of Women
Voters has extended a special
invitation to all men of the com
munity to attend tonight's lec
ture.
After his lecture, Mr. Norton
will answer questions from the
audience.

(.Pi County authorities delved
further today into the private
life of Dick Law, CIO union
official, at the inquest into the
death of his 24-year-old wife
early this month.
Mrs. Anne Batchelor. of Aber
deen, the former Anne Kalinow
ski, testified she was a former
roommate of Helen Soboleski,
a friend of Law. and that Miss
Soboleski and Law came to her
apartment at 3 a.m. one morn
ing in May, 1938. She was ques
tioned by Deputy Prosecutor
Paul Manley.
I shared Helen's Seat
tle apartment. Helen told
me she would not be home to
dinner. I stayed home and went
to bed about 10:30.
Never Went Back
"I was awakened early, about
3 a.m. I heard someone knock
ing on the window. It was
Helen. She asked me to let her
in. She was with Mr. Law. They
both came in," she said.
Mrs. Batchelor said that the
next day she asked friends to
let her stay with them and she
never went back to the apart
ment again.
Miss Soboleski, a clerical em
ploye of the ClO-lnternational
Woodworkers of America and
former Aberdeen nurse, denied
yesterday Manley's implications
relative to her friendship with
Law.
After Denee Dyer, loggers' un
ion business agent, had detailed
labor activities of Law and his
wife, Mrs. Law's father, Nestor
Luoma, testified. Speaking in a
guttural voice, the Finnish na
tive, said, in answer to prosecu
tor Stanley Krause's question as
to who might have reason to
slay Mrs. Law:
My idea is it was some kinda
labor trouble."
Describing the home life of
the Laws, Luoma, dressed in a
bright red mackinaw, testified:
Home Life Fin
Their home life looked fine
to me. There never was nothing
cross said. Dick was a good
fellow. I knew Laura liked
him."
When Krause asked for more
details concerning the Law's
marital life, Luoma replied:
"I didn't marry Dick. I don't
know."
Under questioning of John
Caughlan, a deputy King county
prosecutor under leave to rep
resent the Laws, Luoma, with
animated gestures, reviewed the
death scene and said Law, when
he saw his wife's battered body,
declared:
"Oh, God. My dear girl's been
killed."
Frank Anderson, a Juror,
asked Luoma if he had heard
any talk of a divorce between
the daughter and son-in-law.
"No-never," he replied.

Mood-conditioning will soon
join air-conditioning in making
the modern home healthier and
more attractive, predicts Light
ing Engineer Samuel G. Hibben
of the Westinghouse lamp di
vision at Bloomfield, N. J.
"Lamps of tomorrow," he
told an engineering society
gathering last night, "will
mood - condition our homes,
paint pleasing and ever-changing
pictures or designs on our
walls, kill bacteria and so guard
us against disease, provide us
with health-giving radiation
and sun-tan while we sleep.
"Plant growth will be aided
by artificial light, simplifying
our food problems and provld
lng ui with the so-called seas
onal fruits and vegetables all
year round. Heating lamps
mry simplify industrial heating
and drying problems and may
warm our homes In cold wea
ther. All those things are pos
sible today."
