Court Orders Taxes Returned to Processors
No Verdict Given
to Recover Funds

i
Unanimous Decision Declares $200,000,000
in Collections Must Be Returned
by Federal Government
WASHINGTON, Jnn. 13, (AP) Ordering $200,000,
000 in impounds! tnxo returned to processors because
they wcro invalid under AAA, tho supremo court left
open today whether the $1,000,000,000 of such taxes al
ready paid to farmers could bo retrieved by the tax
payers. In another unanimous action, tho high tribunal also
dinmined tho first test case on the Bankhead cotton con
trol act.
Lower Court Decisions Awaited
No decision was handed down in the only other new
deal case before it involving tho Tennessee valley auth
ority act.
Tho tax ruling, given in tho Louisiana rice millers
case, did not cover whether the processors must prove
they had not passed the levies on the consumer before
recovery could bo made. Litigation, already jundor way
in tho lower courts must decide that.

Willis E. Mahoney, mayor of
Klamath Falls, stood today as a
democratic candidate, on the
Townsend platform, for United
States senator from Oregon.
The youthful Klamath man
told a Jackson Day meeting here
Saturdny he would oppose repub

for the congressional post.
"The Townsend plan," Mahon
ey snld, "Is the key to the re
turn of national prosperity. It
is the one plan that will end
unomploymont In America. It Is
the one plan that will restore
purchasing power Into the
hands of the masses and, be

to Its aged people."
Mahoney said "I will accept
the call. 1 will file' as a Jack

The wreck of the freighter'4wa
brought to 94 the number of

shipwreck first gave It Its name.
The treacherous shoal was
named after the government sloop
Peacock which went aground
there in 1841 Just 94 years ago.
The shallow waters lie on the
Washington side near the mouth
of the Columbia river, where vio
lent southeast storms sweep un
broken across the river. The
breakers reach such siie they
smash huge ships as a child
breaks a toy.
Peacock spit's greatest tragedy
was in 1862 when the General
Warren was shattered and 40
persons drowned. In 1913 the
Hosecrans foundered with the
loss of 33 lives.
More recent tragedies had been
less disastrous. Four seamen
were killed when the Norwegian
motorship Child groumlod May

five wero injured June 17, 1929,
when the freighter Laurel broke

ASTORIA, Ore., Jan. 13, (AP) The crushed hulk
of the 410-foot freighter Iowa swayed to the swells in

Men Never Had Chance
Captain Edgar L. Yates, 68, veteran of the line, and
his crew of 33, "never had a chance," it was said by
Captain R. Stanley Patch, commander of the coast guard
cutter Onondaga. Captain Patch and his crew of 53
almost shared a similar fate as they drove through the
raging gale in futile attempts at rescue.
Five Men Identified
The Clatsop county coroner said identification had
been completed of the bodies of Marion J. Perich, car
penter, New Orleans; and Charles Ogan, third assistant
engineer, San Pedro; Au
gust O. Meyers- boatswain,
Portland ; Carl C. Bendixen,
Bellevue, Wash, chief en

Two coast guard planes cir
cled the wreckage today In an
attempt to locate other bodies in
the sea and point out their posi
tlon to surface craft.
Waves and an irreslstable gale
clutched the freighter Just as it
crossed out over the Columbia
river bar, bound southward and
tor the east coast. Slowly, at
first, the ship was forced off Its
course and driven northward.
SOS Goes Out
The oppressive force became

But the sturdy engines of the
craft were no match tor the
aroused elements, which had the
boat in full retreat soon, and
grounded on the spit where the
giant breakers comb the shallow
shore line for miles out to sea.
A 76-miIe-an-hour hurricane
waa blowing over peacock spit,
and farther southward on the
Oregon shore the wind reached
velocity of 90 miles an hour.
Two of the six battered and
oil-smeared bodies were Identi
fied. They were Marion Perich
of New Orleans and O. A. Mey
ers ot Portland. The bodies, re
covered from the southern Wash
ington shore, were brought to a
mortuary here on the south
banks ot the mighty Columbia
river.
Cutter Escapes Disaster
Coast guardsmen and CCC men,
swinging lanterns through the
darkness, maintained an all-night
vigil, patrolling every foot ot the
13-mlle beach between North
Head and Willapa Harbor in
search of other bodies. It was
feared the rough seas would car
