Work ai Two Mills Almost Double in Recent Months Gold Hill Operations at Stagecoach Lumber company'! Gall's creek saw and planing mills have almost doubled sines the comtany leased the mills from Fred and Otto Jeddeloh j recently. O. J. Crenshaw, general man ager of Gold Hill operations for the Grants Pass company, said the company plans to load be tween four and five railroad box cars a day, starting later this week when new loading plat forms on the Southern Pacific tracks are put into use. Only two box cars are loaded daily now. Work on the platforms is un derway. The platforms are to fa cilitate loading with a lumber loader. Crenshaw said the company is operating both saw mills in Gall's creek, and night shift has started on the gang saw mill. A night shift also has been put on the planing mill, Cren shaw said. Formerly only one saw mill and the planing mill were being operated. The operation, Crenshaw said, is primarily the same as the one run by the Jeddeloh brothers except on an increased basis. The company manufactures West Coast Lumber products. Building Under Way Meanwhile, construction of an Industrial type building is un derway at the Jeddeloh Broth ers Sweed Mills company, where gang saws for lumber in dustry will be manufactured. Production is expected to start in about 40 days. The building framework on a concrete slab is complete, and roofing and siding probably will be started later this week. The business is expected to expand to a quarter million dol lar industry with employment commensurate to its growth. w w j Wednesday. May II, 1938.

Vancouver Council Approves Pinballs Vancouver, Wash. '(U.R) Pin ball amusement devices received the blessing of the Vancouver city council last night in a sur prise 6 to 1 vote in favor of li censing the machines for parks and recreation revenue. Pinballs are legal in Washing ton if they are used for amuse ment only. The Vancouver coun cil rejected a proposal to raise $40,000 for parks and recreation through an expanded business and occupation tax. It was un certain how much money the pinball licenses would raise. Two more hearings must be held on the pinball ordinance before it becomes effective.

Neuberger Denounces Hoover Commission Washington U.R) Sen. Rich ard Neuberger (D.-Ore.) yester day denounced Hoover commis sion recommendations for aboli tion of the postal savings system and increases in parcel post rates. Neuberger said "many men and women in Oregon are totally reliant upon parcel post for de livery of the necessities of life." The Portland Democrat said postal savings "is the only bank ing system available to families in small remote rural villages far from commercial banks." Washington U.R) Chief Jus tice Earl Warren indicated to day that the Supreme Court will issue an order before it re cesses for the summer, on how states should carry out its ruling abolishing school segregation. "As has been the practice for many years, action in all argued cases is expected to be an nounced prior to adjournment," Warren said in a speech pre pared for delivery before the 32nd annual meeting of the American Law Institute. The court heard arguments last month on how its historic, year-old decision should be car ried out. The justices will decide how and when the states should QUAKE REPORTED Manila, P.I. i(U.R) A moder ate earthquake shook two pro vinces in southern Luzon Mon day, causing slight damage to private property.

The council will choose a suc cessor at its regular public meet ing May 24. finally lower the racial bars In public schools. Possible Precedent Breaking There had been a possibility the court might break with pre cedent and delay itsTuling until next fall because of the import ance of the decree and the vast sociological and legal problems involved. But Mr. Warren's' statement apparently means the court in tends to hand down its order within a few weeks. The high tribunat is now scheduled to re cess May 31, but the date may be postponed for several weeks if the justices find they cannot meet the deadline. Most of the Chief Justice's ad dress was devoted to the prob lems of the nation's federal courts. He said that they arc un derstaffed, overloaded with cases and hampered -by "inade quate facilities, outmoded prac tices." The backlog of business is "be coming a nationwide problem," Mr. Warren said, "particularly in the metropolitan areas" such as the Southern District of New York where 10,735 civil cases are awaiting action. 'Grossly Underpaid' He also warned that the num ber of federal probation officers is "far too low" and that they are "grossly underpaid." He said the probation system is one of the best ways of combatting the spread of juvenile delinquency and expressed hope that Con gress would boost appropriations for the service. The Chief Justice said "one of the conspicuous defects' 'in fed eral court procedure is the lack of any provision for paying law yers appointed by the court to defend penniless persons ac cused of crime. He proposed that federal courts be empowered by Congress to either pay such at torneys or to appoint a full-time, salaried public defender with assistants and office personnel.
