WASHINGTON. Dec 27. (By the
Associated Press.) Declaration was
made tonight by Representative Kahn
or Callforn'.T. that he believed re
ports were true that the Japanese
government had withdrawn Its op
position to the recently ratified Cali
fornia law prohibiting acquisition by
Japanese of title to real estate in
that state. The California represent
ative made the statement after
conference today with Roland S.
llorrls. American ambassador to
Tokio.
Announcement was made by Rep'
resentatlve Kahn that a meeting of
the California members of the house
had been called for Wednesday to
discuss aspects of the negotiations
now being carried on between the
United States and Japanese govern
ment looking toward a treaty defin
ing the rights of Japanese nationals
In the United States.
The principal matter to be taken
up at the conference. Representative
Kahn said, was the proposal that the
California legislature be asked to
enact a substitute for the recently
ratified law. The substitute would
prohibit any aliens from acquiring
land In California and would thereby
remove the contention of the Japa
nese government that the present
California law is discriminatory.

The state department is Baid to have

While details, or even the general

that the Japanese government has

rights of Japanese in the United
States so long as there is no dlscrimi
nation not applying equally to other
aliens.
So far as Is known the Question of

they may already have acquired un

Before the police arrived, Salovich
dashed his little girl's Christmas doll
to the floor and broke it into bits.
Testimony in court brought out that
Mrs. Salovich had saved up money
from very slender means to buy the
present. About 50 gallons of corn

Is in Eugene, but Is expected home In
the morning. Mr. Brown also is out
of the city.
According to Mr. Euston no state
ment will be made until after the ar
rival of the bank examiner. However,
it Is said the cause of suspension is
due to conditions now prevailing,
farmers and sheepmen being unable to
sell their wheat and cattle or to raise
money on cattle or wool.
The bank has lent to these people
sums ranging from faOO to $30,000 and
it Is a question whether they can pay
