SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, October 2, 1933 Astoria Parents (Get GDne-Year Jail Term Astoria (U.R) Mr. and Mrs. Tred Rabell Jr. of Astoria were sentenced to one year in Clatsop county jail Friday after pleading guilty to charges they left their three small children locked up while the mother went to a bar and the father left for work. DA Plans To Drop Kidnaping Charges Portland (U.R) District Attorney William Langley said Ratnrriav Ytv would move for dis missal of two kidnaping charges9 pending against Jimmie Valen tine, who was acquitted last year of attempting to kidnap George Brice III, young son of a promi nent Portland couple. Langley's decision came after Valentine, 42, was committed to the state hospital for drug ad-' diction. The two pending charges ac cuse Valentine of kidnaping the Brice boy's mother, Mrs. George Brice, and her maid, Lizzie Brown, as part of a plot to ad- duct the boy from his school. Langley said the state had no more evidence than was present ed in the case in which Valen tine was found innocent last year. Valentine was commited by Circuit Judge William Dickson to the state hospital at Salem Thursday for treatment of drug use after Valentine's recent ar rest by city police.

The 44-year-old logger and his 26-year-old wife waived grand jury proceedings. Circuit Judge Howard K. Zimmerman said before passing sentence that the case "shocks ithe decency of all the people irr Igiis community."

Small Audience Hears Coon-Neuberger Talk Baker (U.R) The smallest crowd of the current debate series Friday night heard Rep. Sam Coon, Republican, and Sen. Richard Neuberger, Democrat, review their opposing concepts of Northwest power production. 400 in Audience About 400 persons were scat tered through the 900-seat high school auditorium in Coon's home town. Because of its near ness to th- controversial Hells Canyon sit ? on the Snake river, the town was expected to pro vide one of the largest partisan crowds during the series of 10 debates scheduled by the two Congressmen on the issue of pub lic vs. partnership financing of John Day dam on the Columbia river. ' : Poor attendance was blamed on opening of the deer hunting season Saturday and a Baker highschool football game with RiShiand, Wash.. . Neuberger reiterated his con tension that partnership power would be more costly, than fed eral power from the Bonneville Power Administration. Coon said the costs should not be compar ed on the basis of Neuberger's figures because Bonneville sells power only at wholesale, not at retail as private agencies would do with John Day power. Western Railroads Fight Bigger Cut For Eastern Lines Salem (U.R)" ' Should east ern railroads succeed in their efforts to get a larger' share of rates from transcontinental ship ments originating in the West and moving to points east of Chi cago, it could deprive western railroads an estimated $90,000, 000, the Public Utilities Com mission said here today. Clifford W. Ferguson, super intendent of rail transportation for the PUC, has been desigined as counsel for the nine western states to present a petition in in tervention before the Interstate Commerce Commission. More than 30 eastern rail roads, including the Pennsyl vania and New York Central, petitioned the ICC, for, an in crease of some 30 per cent of the rates covering long shipments of grain, lumber, potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables and others. These new divisions are de manded from western transcon tinental raliroads, including the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Great Northern and Northern Pa cific. It is estimated that loss to Southern Pacific alone would amount to more than $20,000, 000. The PUC said that because of the ultimate impact such case might have on shippers, nine of the western states have joined in the petition to intervene. An '-improved' flameresistant treatment for cotton; fabric, much superior to previous treat ments, has been developed by Department of Agriculture re search.
