Hoelle, of Sammntro, Calif., ran
into a telephone pole while straf

and lived to tell about it, the
spokesman said.
He quoted Hoelle as saying:
" 1 dove down on the motor
convoy, attacked it and set some
trucks on fire, and then banked
to get away. My wing hit a
telephone pole. The plane tip
ped over on its back and there
I was going about 300 miles an

Hoelle righted the plane and

BYRO GOES TO
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 W
Senator Byrd (D-Va.) charged
today that the National Youth
administration in some states
had more work training stations
than trainees, and confronted
NYA Director Aubrey Williams
with specific examples.
In fact, Byrd said at a hearing
of. the joint congressional econ
omy committee, he heads, budget
bureau figures show that 55,000
NYA work stations have, been es
tablished, in comparison with the
53,030 trainees which Williams
said were taking' work courses
last October.
Williams replied that only
about 78,000 of the stations were
in active use, however, because
of IIYA's sharply reduced ap
propriation. Byrd contended NYA was not
essential at this time but Wil
liams argued that the current
fiscal year appropriation of $50,
000,000 should be increased and
the law liberalized' to permit
greater use of NYA facilities.
The appropriation for last fiscal
year was $160,000,000.

came a "matter of notoriety" in
the whole of Klamath county
and were discussed in press and
over the radio. Ten minutes la
ter, the motion alleges, the judge
made an order calling the grand
jury.
Audit Mentioned
' (In connection with similar
allegations made in a previous
defense motion in this case.
Judge Vandenberg stated there
was "no swearing, no cursing
and no striking")
The motion filea Friday assert
ed further that the judge called
the griyid Jury's attention to the
county audit dealing with pay
ments made to the clerk, and
mentioned also a presentment of
facts made by the grand Jury to
the judge and his Instructions in
connection with the Short case.
On or about December 1, 1942,
the motion alleges, Commis
sioner Reber was called before
the grand jury and asked certain
questions about the conduct of
the clerk's office.
Scratched Out
Judge Vandenberg, it was al
leged, appeared before the grand
jury and mentioned asserted
shortcomings of the county clerk.
The names of neither Reber
nor Vandenberg are endorsed
upon the indictment, it was as
serted, but the instrument shows
names had been scratched out
from the list of witnesses en
dorsed upon the indictments. -
Judge Lewelling has said he
will come here about the middle
of January to handle matters in
connection with the Short case.
Judge Vandenberg was disqual
ified by defense affidavit to sit
in this case, but indicated at the
time that he would have dis
qualified himself if this action
had not been taken.
Previous Motion
Mrs. Short is accused of ac
cepting funds totaling $95 in pay.
ment for overtime in connection
with election work, and in pay
ment for keeping records for the
dog board. The state's conten
tion is that these payments are
not authorized by law.
Judge Lewelling has denied a
previous defense motion asking
for transcripts of instructions
given the grand. Jury by Judge
Vandenberg.
The motion asserts that the
payments made to Mrs. Short
were made upon judgment and
order of the county court, in
compliance with the law.
It points out that County
Judge U. E. Reeder's name ap
pears as a voluntary witness
while that of Commissioner Re
ber does not so appear and was
allegedly deleted along with that
of Judge Vandenberg. .
The alleged alterations invali
date the indictments, the defense
attorney claimed.

after the grand jury failed to. in
dict Mrs. Short on November

jury over to investigate unfin
ished matters, to wit, the case

It would be a great pity for the

"Concfiatory" Tone of
Roosevelt Speech Pondered
By p. HAROLD OLIVER
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (rt1)
A congress which exhibited un
usual bipartisan approval of
President' Roosevelt's road to
victory message noted further
today what many members
called the "conciliatory" . tone
of thfl speech and pondered Its
significance.
Many republicans Joined the
democrats In predicting the re-
JEFFERS SIGNALS

of movement as Is now permit
ted under mileage rationing, In
areas where the petroleum sup
ply makes this feasible. More
over, he added, passenger cars
con use reclaimed rubber for
recaps and even new tires, while
trucks and military vehicles re
quire crude and synthetic rub
ber. If 65 to 70 per cent of the
synthetic plant program were
given unhampered preference in
the competition for equipment
and materials, the program could
still hit a production rate in
1944 of 600.000 tons. Jeffers said.
This would suffice to keep
the military machines of this
country and the United Nnttons
rolling, as well as essential
trucks and buses, ho observed.
But It doesn't leave any for the
rank and file of motorists. These,
ho said, would have to get alomi
with recaps and reclaim until
completion of the remaining 30
to 35 per cent of the program
for which no special priority aid
is being asked.
Twenty per cent of the pro
gram already has beon granted
a "special direction" by the war
production board to guaranteo
speedy completion. The rest Is
snarled in conflict for materials
and equipment with the high-
octane aviation gasoline program
and, to. a lesser degree, with the
escort ship construction program
and with aircraft.
(Other reliable sources said
Jeffers' additional requests had
been laid before President Roose
velt, in an effort to get a final
decision on the treatment to be
accorded these conflicting "must"
programs. Jeffers would not
confirm or comment upon this.
(Thcso sources, not quotable
by name, reported that the "spe
cial direction" for 20 per cent
of the synthetic program gave
It priority over all but equip
ment ..being produced for the
North African campnign and
such other urgent contracts as
had triplc-A priority standing
and could be completed this
month.
(Tho hundred-octane gasoline
prouram. essential to the dou
bled 1943 aircraft production
goals, likewise got a 20 per cent
green light, it was said. The
plants require almost Identical
items of equipment in many
cases).
