CHICAGO STADIUM, June 16 (P)

Curtis for the Republicans.
In alii but unanimous first and
onlv ballot today a cheering national
) convention reaffirmed the commission
of leadership .conferred- on Herbert
Hoover lour years ago, renominating
him with 1,126'; votes out of the
total of 1,164.
Then, by a single ballot also but
with a scattered field of candidates
receiving votes for many delegations,
Charles Curtis, choice of the adminis
tration was made the Hoover 1932
running mate. On the initial roll
call he wa3 Just short of the 678
needed to nominate, but th big
Pennsylvania delegation changing its
vote, gave him the margin of victory.
It was 3:54 p. m. whan the con
vention finally adjourned and the
delegates filed out wearily, after a
continuous session of more than four
hours, leaving the big stadium to
stand empty until the Democrats
meet a week from Monday, in the
same hall for their national conven
tion.
The final official computation gave
Vice President Curtis 633 votes. Han
ford MacNlder, the minister to Can
ada, was runnerup with 178, and Gen
eral James O. Harbord, chairman of
the radio corporation, third with 161

When the sportsman's faney turns

the Oregon State Motor association
suggests excellent places where the
usn are oning ana wnere nnut
catches have been made within the
past few days. As an added attrac
tion for the wife and children they
also point out that many of the
suggested streams are bordered by
shady glades for picnicking.
uonaiuons on tne upper uranae
Ronde river and tributaries are good
with the water receding following
several days of favorable weather.
Turn to the left from the highway
at Five Points and follow the Mt.
Emily logging road toward Starkey,
and almost .any point along the
Grande Ronde river offers both fish
ing and picnicking facilities. The
road is graveled and reported to be
in good condition.
The Minam and Whllowa rivers are
reported to be suitable now and a
numjber of limit catches have been
made around Lostlne between Wal

good trout catches during the past

Hail Storm Hits
Imbler Without
Damaging Fruit
By Mrs. Hay Wilson
IMBLER (Special) A hail storm
hit this district Monday afternoon
during the hard rain storm. Tne
stones were fairly largo but there was
no wind at the time and little or no
damage was done to gardens. Ex
aminations m apple orcnarcis snow
there was no damage done to the
fruit. The rain was welcomed by
most farmers although a few had
started cutting alfalfa.
Mr. and Mrs. Lou McKeivy who na-a
the misfortune to lose all their
household furnishings and personal
property in a lire her&reccntly have
rented a house from Lamar Westen
skow In North Imbler formerly occu-
pied by the Kirkhams who are mov
ing to La Grande. At recent meet
ings of the American Legion and
auxiliary thero was voted tlw sums
of $10 and $5 respectively as friendly
tokens of sympathy as the McKelvy's
were away at the time of the fire
and carried no Insurance.
Today the auxiliary is meeting at
the home of Mrs. Grace Rollins and
assisted by the Woman's club, the
Relief society and the Ladles Aid, are
remaking a large quantity of, cloth
ing to assist them in making a new
start. The ladles began working this
morning. They enjoyed a potluck
dinner at noon and planned to work
this afternoon.
Moat of the potatoes have been
moved from the Fox storage house
but a few hundred sacks are atlli
there and are now being sorted. There
was no chance at all to market po
tatoes from this section in car lots
this year and except for occasional
sales in small lots sold locally these
potatoes were sold for five cents a
sack and hauled away for hog feed
to satisfy storago charges. Had this
district the same rail tariffs of com
petitive sections of comparative dis
tances the California markets could
nave taken these crops at a price
that would have partially reimbursed
the glowers their ccat of production
instead of the terrific losses they nave
suffered. Efforts are being made to
have the rate to California reduced
to an equitable basis In time for this
year's crop.
Many Imbler people have taken to
gardening for home use as one means
of beating old man depression and
some of the finest gardens ever seen
here are the result. Ross Perry has
perhaps the finest garden In town.
It Includes a great variety of pro
ducts, all of which show fine growths
and umiorm stands, tne result or
scientific and intensive culture. A
new water system for irrigation was
installed but it has been standing
idle most of the time, due to the ef
forts of old Jupe Pluvlus.

Snell refused to recognize him as
he was not a delegate. France de
clared he wanted to make a nomina

Almost immediately he was sur
rounded by several policemen. Two

arations and war: debts here.
"This Is a time for bold proposals,"
ho said. "The United States has en
couraged us to believe it. will co
operate in some of the wider prob
lems and Join us in devising a policy
for the encouragement of trade and
the enrichment of nations."
World Crista Worst
His address, after his election as
chairman of the conference, was the
only one of major Importance in a
session which lasted a little over an
hour. The continuing economic
crisis, he said, is the worst with
which the world has ever been af
flicted,. It amounts to a "world
catastrophe."
"Wo meet under the shadow of the
nost ominous economid crisis which
ever afflicted the world In time of
peace," Mr. Macdonald said. ''The
whole world looks to us as It never
has looked to an International con
ference before.
World Is Unit
"In these times there is no Italy,
no Germany, no America, no Britain
apart from the rest of the nations.
Thero ls nothing smaller than a
world, nothing less than a system
which is crumbling around our feet.
None of & can stay out of- the mis
eries which are gathering about us."
As the prime minister spoke the
delegates listened closely. On his
right sat Premier Herriot of France.
On the left was Franz Von Papen,
the new German chancellor. Beside
him sat Sir Herbert Sanuol, .the
British homo secretary.
Around the table were other dele
gates of the fourteen nations repre
sented, including Great Britain,
France. Italy. Germany, Japan. Bel
gium, Jugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia,
Rumania, Greece, Poland, Portugal,
Bulgaria and Hungary, with repre
sentatives also from) Canada, Aus
tralia, South Africa, and New Zea
land. Opposes Repudiation
(Mr. Macdonald expressed himself
clearly in opposition to repudiation
by Germany of the war reparations.
. "One- principle is very definitely
before the conference," he said, "en
gagements solemnly entered Into
cannot be set aside by one party's
repudiation.
"That principle is not challenged
by anybody here, but it carries with
It a corollary; If default is to be
avoided, engagements which have
been proved incapable of fulfillment
should be revised by agreement. Both
sides In all agreements must always
be ready to face the facts."
Tomorrow there will be another
meeting and Chancellor Von Papon
probably will have an opportunity
to Btate the German case.
