The change, under considera

forced the dealers to stay open
long hours, according to Frank
Humphrey, spokesman for the
Croup.

hours in most Industries now
give our customers more time
to shop for automobiles and we
believe the new hours will not
inconvenience them in any
way."
Medford automobile dealers
will continue to remain open
evenings, except Sunday.

KELLY SEES CUT
IN POWER RATES
Linking of Bonneville and
Shasta dams with a consequent
reduction in power rates in
southern Oregon was foreseen
today by Edward C. Kelly, an
attorney for the Bonneville pow
er administration at Portland
who is here on vacation. Mr.
and Mrs. Kelly and their chil
dren, Bernard, Noreen and Jim
my, are guests of Mr. Kelly's
mother, Mrs. E. E. Kelly, 911
Queen Ann avenue.
There is no immediate danger
of power shortage in the north
west though a shortage might
develop, Mr, Kelly stated. Bon
neville has enough output now
for all existing requirements but
defense industries, especially
aluminum In the northwest, are
making gigantic demands upon
the power capacity of the nation,
he pointed out.
Mr. Kelly acknowledged that
Democratic party leaders here
have discussed with him hit
availability as a candidate for
congress from the new fourth"
congressional district. Primaries
for this election would be held
next May. Mr. Kelly was noncommittal.
