Full sup port of organized labor to the recovery program as a whole was pledged. The federation of labor critic ized interpretation by the NRA of the term "trade or Industrial associations or groups," as con tained in the act.

Pray, superin tendent of state police. The reduction. It was under stood here, was one of several proposals to keep expenditures of the 1 game funds down to de creased receipts experienced dur ing the past couple years. Game law enforcement at the same time, records show, has reduced considerably under the stnte po lice control. Last year showing a decrease ot more than $12,000 a year aver any ot the past' six years, and - the cost this year under the budget will be about $7500 under that figure. Salaries 'Ketlucei Cost of the game law enforce ment was lowered some the cur rent year by reduction of salar ies, but rnther than reduce sal aries further, tentative plans call for reducing the staff by at least five after November 1. It was expected these men wayiid be those recently added to the staff, but who they will be has not yet been determined. Pray said. Records In the secretary ot state's office revealed that while the state legislature reduced the salaries ot all employee, the plan apparently has not been strictly adhered to in other departments over which the game commission has control. Increases of about $10 a month were noted for two officials of the game commission. This gave rise to . speculation here whether the commission also planned to make Its administra tive and production costs corre spond to the reduced receipts. The meeting of the commission with Pray here Tuesday was an executive session, and the only comment made by Chairman M. E. Corrigan of the commission was that a friendly conference with the state police superin tendent was held, and no state ments whatsoever would . be given out. Difficulties Faced "My conference with the game commission was a very pleasant taxes 9S0.00 . 17.79S.00 ..I 95,478.00 1 to 9, inc.).. class 3,000.00 7,800.00 7,800.00 .... 15.000.00 27.000.00 1,200.00 4.1.200.00 $ 4,000.00 $175,210.00 Prison Brought Him $1,000,000 Millionaires are made even In prison.

Iligelow was drowned recently and left a third of his $3,000,000 estate to the man who was his friend In prison. Ward now Is presi dent of the St. Tsui concern. one," Pray reiterated here todny, "and we contrived to overcome our respective difficult lea with relation to the payment problem to the apparent natisfiuMlou of every onu concerned. I believe the reduction from 35 to 30 men will not Impair the efficiency of the enforcement to a (treat e teut, and I am glad to cooperate with the commission In meet In c expense difficulties." The game law enforcement last year required about 3$ per cent of the entire receipts, rec ords at the state police depart ment show. During the first three quarters o this year. It has required about 47 per cent, but the final quarter, the la r neat In recerpts. will brine this down to at least 40 per cent, it was estimated by game commission reports.

OREGON INDUSTRIAL LEADERS National Carburetor Will Enter Production Shortly II) Herb King Representing ope of the mot marked advances in operating de vices for gnsolino propelled ve hicles, the recently perfected Na tional carburetor will soon go in to quantity production at the company's Portland factory at 2439 Northwest 2!ith Ave. The carburetor, originated and perfected by Mr. Oliver Scifferle, Portland mechanical engineer, has attracted tho attention of the automotive world by reason of Its unusual performancea under a wide vnrlety of tests. Cnder the moat exacting conditions the carburetor has proven Its super iority over other standard types of curburction. Authenticated ntileuKe tucrcasos of r5.7 per cent have been logged and a 2& per cent lncrenno In efficiency performance established under the sumo test. An entirely new principle of fuel supply control is employed which permits proper proportion ing and vuporizution of the gaso line and givca a solution to the problems of Inefficient carbure llon that have engaged automo tive engineers since tho first carburetor was brought out. Although the carburetor has been perfected for some time, the National (Jarburetor Co., hns withheld frop- production until it hns subjected the product to every conceivable test. Automo tive equipment of all types busses, trucks, tractors and pas senger ears have been equipped with the carburetor and per formance results carefully check ed under nil conditions. In every instance the National carbttrotor has dcmfim:tr;itcd Its superiority over other curburction systems in common use. Mr. Selfferle, who will be di rectly in charge of production, Is already enguitcd at the factory preparatory to turning out models of -Hie various types that will bo needed to supply orders now wnltlng on production.
