FILIBUSTER PLAN TO
• PROLONG CONGRESS
WORRIES DEMOCRATS,
WASHINGTON. Aug 21.—Republi
can filibustering now threatens to delay
the adjournment of congress. \\ Ith an
agreement virtually rcachpd by which
the Democrats were prepared to wind
up the session on Saturday, there is a
threatened campaign to delay by Mi
nority Leader Mann -nd his aides
which ma) hold up he supply bills for
ten days. The complaint of the mi
nority leader is that the Democrats are
wasting time In political legislation
which will aid in the November cam
paign. The Democrats charge that he
is attempting to delay proceedings so
that the bill calling for a physical val
uation of railroads will not come up for
consideration.
"When the Democrats want to get
down to business." said the minority
leader today, ’ I will remain on the floor
of the house until midnight, If neces
sary. in order to hasten adjournment.
However. 1 don't propose to counte
nance this waste of time which is due
to incompetent leadership on the ma
jority side."

GOVERNOR PUTS ’
LIO ON OREGON
Two Mayors Resign on His
Request—Threatens Port
land With Martial Law.
SA I.EM. ORE.. Aug. 21— Governor
Oswald West threatens to use the
militia to "clean up" Portland, the me
tropolis of Oregon Following his law
enforcement crusade, during which
Governor West has demanded and se
cured the resignation of the mayors
of Huntington and Redmond, the chief
executive has turned his attention to
Portland.
Governor West will appoint a num
ber of special agents to investigate
conditions in Portland. Reports and
complaints that have come to him say
that the town is running with the lid
very much tilted and that open law
violation is winked at by the officials.
Both the mayor and chief of police of
Portland say they will welcome an in
vestigation.
Similar reports have reached the
governor concerning the towns of
Huntington and Redmond. In one
place the mayor countenanced an “open
town." In the other the mayor was
convicted of gambling. When demands
that the mayors' resignations were re
fused Governor West served notice
that he would send in militia and de
clare the towns under martial law un
less the city officials retired. They
have resigned.
Governor West says it is his duty to
enforce the law and he considers the
mllifia part of the state machinery for
the purpose. If conditions warrant he
will make the same demands in Port
land that he did in Jhe other towns,
he says, and if it is necessary he will
use the militia to carry out his de
mands
