Doubt was cast today on a

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.

' 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

a ticket to Weed In that week.

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.

Pre-war Parity of Income

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.

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. While
some of them may be expected to
hold out to the last minute lu the
hope of finding out the kind of
opposition to expect, several are
