Soil Conservation
Hearing Scheduled
In Valley June 22
The state soil conservation
committee will hold a hearing
at the Sams Valley school, Thurs
day, June 22, to determine
whether there is sufficient in
terest in that area in the forma
tion of a soil conservation dis
trict to warrant holding a refer
endum election on the issue.
It will be the second effort
made in Jackson county to or
ganize landowners for the pur
pose of coordinating and plan
ning adequate soil conservation
measures. T$ie first attempt,
made earlier this year, was de
feated at the referendum elec
tion because of a lack of votes.
The district proposed at that
time would have covered most
of the county but the present is
sue concerns about 52,000 acres
in the Sams Valley and Beagle
areas. The tentative boundaries
extend about 10 miles north
and south and about nine miles
east and west.
Agricultural circles expect the
issue to passithout difficulty
this time since only enthusiastic
supporters have been included in
the proposed area.

less instruments but said she had
not done so intentionally.
Deputy District Attorney Paul

Employees Told
To Shun Gamblers
New York. June 8 (U.R)
Western Union told its employes
today to shun gamblers like the
plague if they want to keep their
obs.
Embarrassed by the listing of
WU office managers' names on
payroll sheets seized in a St.
Louis betting syndicate raid, the
company sent sharply worded
warnings to its office chiefs
throughout the country.
WU Vice President E. R. Shute
telegraphed a 400-word reminder
that the company's standing rules
"specifically prohibit" employes
from accepting commissions or
gratuities from gamblers or their
agents.
"Despite these specific instruc
tions," the directive said, 'we
now learn from newspaper re
ports that in a raid on the estab
lishment of C. J. Rich In St.
Louis county. Mo., . . . among
records impounded were letters
from C. J. Rich to Western Union
managers offering commissions
of 25 per cent of winnings, and
letters from some managers
thanking Rich for bonuses, grat
uities, etc.
Any more of this acceptance of
rake-offs and gifts will result in
the offender being "summarily
dealt with" the company warned.

Judge Turns Down
Censorship of
Italian Picture
Portland, Ore., June 8 (U.R)
Circuit Judge James R. Bain yes
terday ruled against city censor
ship of the Italian film "The Bi
cycle Thief" and granted an in
junction to permit showing of
the movie at a Portland theatre.
Judge Bain said the Portland
city council in carrying out a
municipal board of review cen
sorship order, had acted in an
"arbitrary and capricious man
ner" in ordering the brothel
scene cut from the film.
Film Under Contract
The Guild theatre sought the
injunction, asserting that the
New York distributors of the
film refused to permit the show
ing of the movie if it was cen
sored. Manager Martin Foster al
ready had the movie under con
tract when the city review board
ordered the cut.
The controversy arose over a
two-minute scene in the movie
showing the hero searching for
the thief in a brothel.
City Attorney Alexander
Brown contended that the city
censors and the city council had
acted within the "police powers"
given them.
