Duffy that ho was turned back by border pa trolmen alter riding a bus to Wood, Calif., In an offort to reach a Job at Sacramento. Sluriff W. Q,,;t;hantller of Siskiyou county, and stase tei.itltial atiachea here, ! questioned the young l'ortlander's i '.'eporta. ' ! Sheriff Chandler said that Duf ! fy, who wou the ' sympathy of court hou. e peoplo here with his ' tory, never appeared at the ilornbrook entrance,, contrary to Duffy's mat em nit. Duf.y, with money given him here ai.er his Ilornbrook story was told, was- supposed to have bought a bus ticket to Weed. He appeared here the next day and said he had gone to Weed, but was picked up there In a restau rant and returned to Oregon. On the strength of this Htory, Duffy won the sympathy of Klam ath people, who bought him train fare, with berth, to Sacramento. Sheriff Chandler asserted that border patrolmen had never pick ed up anybody at Weed. At the Klamath Falls office of tho Grtyhound busses, It was de clared that no one had purchased a ticket to Weed from here on the day Duffy was supposed to have done so. In fact, accord ing to Mn?. Iluth Snyder at the stage depot, nobody hna purchased a ticket to Weed In that week.

Meet . ; She said the Duffy story had spread the erroneous Impression that busfs are being stopped. They are not halted at the border, and bui) passengers are not ques tioned, she said. However, Bailiff George Dough erty, wbo was" Interested In Duf fy's cose, said that he went with Duffy to the stage depot to pur- chnse the bus ticket to Weed. When Duffy returned with his story of being stopped at Weed, John Dougherty arranged rail road transportation for him to Sacramento. John A. Taylor's 6tory of his alleged troubles at the border won him much sympathy In Oregon and particularly at Portland. Taylor, Chandler said, admitted to officers at Hornbrook, after he had been taken off a freight train on the evening of February 7. that he had been previously ar rested on a charge of Impersonat ing a federal officer. Chandler stated that the man was in no way mistreated, that he had no money on him when arrested, and no pa pers except a "mushy love letter from some womau." He told offi cers at Hornbrook that he. had "hocked" his false teeth in Med ford, receiving about Hi for the gold in the two plates. His story to Oregon officials, however, was that his teeth bad been knocked out by the border patrol.

ROUSE PASSES RE E Representatives Defeat Amendment Offered . By Dairymen. CONSUMER PROTEC TION APPROVED Pre-war Parity of Income Sought For Farmers. WASHINGTON. Feb. 21, UP) The administration's .MM, 000,000 farm bill was passed today by the houae and re turned to the senate for ac tion on amendments. 1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, UP) The house refused today 144 to 111 to amend the new farm bill to specify that lands taken out of production should not be used to increase the output of dairy products. The vote was by tellers on an amendment proposed by Repre sentative Bolleau (R-Wis.) Tie amendment was proposed after Bolleau and the chairmen of the agriculture committee, dis agreed on Interpretation of a compromise amendment on the same - question, which Jones earlier bad accepted. House Votes lTotectlon Bolleau then withdrew the compromise, and submitted the original amendment opposed by Rep. Jones as "unworkable and unconstitutional." The dairy state members had demanded that provision be written into the bill that no lands taken out of production of export crops be used for pro duction or sale of products com peting with established dairying. The house wrote a strong consumer-protection amendment in to the new farm bill and push ed the measure ahead toward nassage tonight. The amendment was proposed by Representative McCormnck (D-Mass). It would direct the secretary of agriculture to work toward a pre-war "parity" in come for the farmer without dis couraging production to a point below the 1920-29 average do mestic consumption. Accepted by Chairman Jones (D-Tex) of the agriculture committee, the consumer proviso was along the lines of the Wagner amendment defeated by a wide margin In the senate. Before the house met, repre sentatives of several organiza tions headed by the people's lobby were given a formal "pro test" audience by Majority Lead er Bankhead of Alabama and Minority Leader Snell of New York. Tliey complained that the bill, already passed in the senate, was being put through without any hearings. Republicans on the floor have voiced similar complaints. PRESIDENT FIRS WASHINGTON.

Sheriff Now Believed Inclined to Make Race Again. By Malcolm Epley Gaining momentum steadily the past few days, Interest In politics is expected to turn next week en important new candidates' an nouncements. A final decision from sheriff Lloyd Low, who con sidered keeping out of the contest for hia office this year, but now is inclined to run, will start the week off Monday. Considerable Interest was gen erated by the democratic county central committee's move Thurs day night In endorsing the Town send Old Age pension plan. The action somewhat embarrassing to some democrats, waa taken hy about a dozen who attended the central committee meeting, and is believed by some observers to be an effort to help the candidacy of Mayor W. E. Mahoney for the senate. Sheriff Low Bald Friday that he will make it known once and for all, Monday, whether he will run or not. but he admitted his deci sion will probably he in favor of running. Since the midweek re ports that Low was seriously con sidering keeping out of the con test to go to farming, the sheriff said he has conversed with "a lot of people who encouraged me to run for the office and discour aged me about farming." The sheriff, if he runs, will seek the republican nomination. On the democratic side of the sheriff's race, there are already several candidates, and mora ap pear in the offing. Low has received several let ters from persons who saw the report that he might not run. The letter-writers advised him to seek re-election. Candidates have until March 30 to file for the primary.
