WILSON United Presi Correspondent "Washington (U.R) There are some uncomfortably close parellels between certain situa tions today and those ex isting in the y e a r 8 before the great de pression of the 1930s. In the quar ter - century since the na tion roared x n l l : Lylo C WUion iieii-ucui that bleak and black era, a lot of safeguards have been built Into the economy to cushion gainst the effects of another tailspin. Even so, political and eco nomic conditions in the election year 1924 and the election year 1956 are beginning to look very much alike. Farmers were crying for re lief 32 years ago, as today. The nation's business was booming, however, and there were jobs and paychecks enough to go around. "Keep cool with Coolidge," was the Republican slogan. The party's bid for votes was based on confidence that the citizens were cuddled securely in pros perity's lap. Ripped by Dispute The Democratic party was ripped by dispute over prohibi tion and a tide of anti-Catholic sentiment. In 103 ballots and nearly three weeks of bitterness, the 1924 Democratic national convention came up. finally, with a caretaker presidential nominee. He was the late John W. Davis, a great corporation lawyer who had no chance whatever of winning. The 103 ballots were cast in the hot anger of a stand-off be tween wet and Catholic Alfred Emmanuel Smith of New York, and dry, Protestant William Gibbs McAdoo of California. There was no national conven tion like it, before or since, but the Democrats may be headed today toward something near its match. The touchy issue of race rela tions stirs the South now as pro hibition and religious feeling roused it in 1924. The split be tween northern and southern Democrats seems to be widen- Arthritis - Rheumatism Vital Fads Explained FREE DESCRIPTIVE BOOK As a public service to all read ers of this paper, a new 44-page highly illustrated book on Arth ritis and Rheumatism will be mailed ABSOLUTELY FREE to all who write for it.

Another hope lessly nominated caretaker pres idential ticket may again be the party's solution the nomina tion of a candidate who could hold a losing party together through an election year. "Peace and prosperity" with which the Republicans this year invite the voters' support is in the pattern of the 1924 Cool idge crusade. Big dividends, a spiraling stock market, the full dinner pail, jobs are what the Republicans offer now. Banking Laws Modernized FDR's New Deal Securities & Exchange act, modernized law governing banking and more ex perience with management of the nation's economy are be lieved to protect more or less against another money panic such as hit in 1929. The time deposits in most banks up to Wakefield Opening on The new Wakefield building, 1100 Crawr Lake ave., the home of three lotal business firms, will be ready for public inspec tion Tuesday, according to Wayne "Shady" Wakefield, owner.

District Attorney Victor Blanc said he will ask the death penal ty for Raymond P. Wilson, 33, of Tulsa, Okla., charged in the death of Mrs. Lulubel Rossma in her hotel room here during the Fourth of July week end. Wilson and Frank J. Ells worth, 36, of Tampa, Fla., were arrested last August in a Las Vegas gambling casino after they aroused suspicion flashing rolls of SI 00 bills. Police here con tend that serial numbers of money found on the pair dave tail with serial numbers of bills found in the dead woman's safe deposit box.

The farm subsidy system an FDR invention may be the bul wark against the kind of land panic which built up through the 1920s to the big bust of 1929. And government is trig gered for fast pump-priming with the public's money at any time. This was another device of FDR, but not among his most successful. It was really big national de fense spending and, later, the gold rush of war that absorbed unemployment in the later Roosevelt years. Barring the reform and protective legisla tion now on the books, the pat tern of 1924 and 1956 are too much alike for comfortable con templation. Building Tuesday niture fire last July. They occu pied space upstairs in that building for nine years. The new building will give them room to display their stock of full length drapery samples as well as provide a workroom for their custom department.

Oyster Industry Faces Extinction Olympia (U.R) Ninety per cent of the Olympia oyster indus try will be wiped out within a year if death continues at the present high rate, Dave McMil lin, manager of the Olympia Oys ter company, said today. McMillin said oysters were dying at a "shocking" rate in the past few weeks at Little Skoo kum and Oyster bays. At least two growers have been wiped out this season and losses to some of the best beds in Little Skookum have been as high as 80 per cent, he said. McMillin blamed the cause of death on pulp mill pollution and expressed alarm that it is now starting to affect Pacific oysters. A DAY 4.

TABLETS (Net for Glandular Ob.slty) Weeping Mother Leads Defectives To Child's Body Los Angeles U.R) A weep-; ing 35-year-old former mental j patient led detectives yesterday j to a vacant lot near, her home and pointed out a suitcase which i contained the body of her four-year-old daughter. Mrs. John E. Shaw previously had told police, "I killed little Susan." The girl had been missing since last Wednesday when Mrs Shaw, divorced wife of attorney Prentice Shaw, of Clinton, Ida., told her 11-year-old daughter that "Susan is dead." Gassed and Poisoned Detectives had hoped Mrs. Shaw was making up incoherent stories about murdering the child. In a psychopathic ward at General hospital, the attrac tive mother had told police she first gassed and then poisoned little Susan. Finally officers persuaded Mrs. Shaw to show them where she hid the body. Police said the woman' was upset but not hys terical when she led them to the vacant lot and pointed out the spot. Autopsy Planned The coroner's office said that it would conduct an autopsy to day on the body. The coroner estimated that the child had been dead for several days. Shaw, who arrived here Sat urday to aid in the search for Susan, was stunned when in formed the child was found dead. He had discounted his for mer wife's stories. "She habitu ally pulls stunts like this," he had told police.. Detectives entered the case last Thursday when Mrs. Shaw's other daughter, Pamela, told school authorities her sister died the previous day. Royally To Attend 'Other Wedding' Munich, Germany (U.R) Eu ropean royalty, much of it with out a throne, gathered here to day for the "other wedding" that of Archduke Ferdinand of Hapsburg, 37, and Helen, Coun tess Zu Toerring-Jettenbach, 18. The guest list indicated that Europer's rulers were paying much more attention to this match and the church wedding tomorrow than the Prince Rainier-Grace Kelly marriage next week. , 1 Queen Elizabeth II sent the Duchess of Kent and Princess Alexandra to represent the Brit ish crown. A diplomatic official and a consul-general will repre sent the Queen at Monte Carlo, and it was much the same with Europe's other royal families. The guest list included ex King Umberto of Italy, great uncle of the bride; Archduke Otto, claimant of the Austrian throne; Prince Albrecht, pre tender ' to the Bavarian crown; Prince Louis Ferdinand, head of Prussia's Hohenzollern family; Prince Michael of Greece, and Prince Francois of Bourbon, son of the pretender to the French crown. Senate To Probe Gas Bill Lobby Washington i(U.R) Chairman John L. McClellan said today that the first task of the new Senate Lobbying committee will be to investigate lobbying both for and against the vetoed na tural gas bill. The Arkansas Democrat said his eight-man committee will be- j gin by picking up "any loose i ends" left over from the now- ! completed investigation by an- j other committee into the "Case incident." That investigation. made by a committee headed by Sen. Walter F. George (D.-Ga.) was limited to an alleged at tempt to sway the vote of Sen. Francis Case (R.-S.D.) on the gas bill. In its report on the Case in cident the George committee censured John M. Neff and El mer Patman, attorneys for the Superior Oil Co. of California, for "galloping irresponsibility" in their efforts on behalf of the gas bill. Neff admitted offering Case a $2500 campaign gift after ascertaining Case might vote for the bill. The report added that Supe rior President Howard B. Keck must share any blame in the matter because he was "remark ably lax" in directing the. activi ties of his attorneys. Hitchcock Continues Heavy Campaign Load Portland (U.R) Republican senatorial aspirant Philip Hitch cock continued his campaign through the state with more than 20 speeches, meeting appear ances and speech broadcasts lined up for the first three days of the week. Most of the candidate's early week activities will be centered in the Portland area but he also has appearances in Salem and Newberg on the agenda.
