Reports of committees bearing on financial problems in relation to public policy were read today to the executive council of the American Bankers' as sociation in session here. The tnflu ence of European business and finan' cial conditions on the United States was discussed in a report by John R. McHugh of Xew York, chairman of the commerce and marine committee, and a warning against ,(hasty meaS' ures of legislation designed to relieve the abnormal conditions existing 1 trade and industry was sounded a report of the economic policy com mission, of which Paul M. Warburg chairman. The position taken by J. S. Drum of San Francisco, president of the asso elation, in an address urging the ere ation of instrumentalities for exten sion of credits to foreign buyers, was supported by Mr. McHugh. "There is no constructive work more worth the whole-hearted sup port of the bankers and business men," he said in his report, "than that of providing adequate financial or ganization for extending long-tlm loans to responsible foreign interest who would use the proceeds to pay for American products. McFndden BUI Approved. A report of the savings bank divi sion opposed development of govern ment organizations to the extent creating competition with savings in stitutions. Plans for a nation-wide crusade against bank robbers was decided on today by the executive council of the association. Ways ar.d means of stamping out the prevailing crime wave were discussed and the opinion expressed unanimously that never in the 47 years of the organization's his tory were its 23,000 member banks in s urgent need of protection from burglars and hold-up men as today. The protection department reported I hat an average of four criminals week had been convicted since tile department was established. Approval of the McFadden bill, creating a new position to be known s the under-secretary of the treas ury and abolishing the office of the comptroller of the currency, was em braced today in the report of the economic policy commission. "We believe," the report says, "tha: i he governor of the federal reserve 'noard should be elected by the board i.istead of being named with the vice governor, by the president, and that t:ie governor, instead of the secretary o" the treasury, should be the pre siding officer." The report emphasizes the necessity lor the strictest economy in gov t.rnmental affairs. Repeal of Profits Tax Asked. "We urge," it continues, "that the estimates for the military and naval establishments be carefully consid e ed. with a view to bringing about a reduction of such outlays wherever practicable, and we trust that the in fluence of the United States will be exerted toward promoting of amicable arrangement among all nations for limiting and reducing this class of expenditures in the future. The repeal of the tax on excess p-ofits is urged while the levies on transportation, especially on freight, were said to be harmful to business. The report asserts it is idle to seek a cure in government ownership and operation. The Esch - Cummins law, It con tinues, has not yet had a fair test and tliere is good reason to believe that, in normal times and with some modi f cations, it will prove itself capable of effectively meeting the railroad problem.

President Kerr presented the Par tello cup to the field artillery unit, which made a score of 89.65 per cent in the parade, review and tournament. Engineers won second .place with a score of 85.

Several tableaux presented by the Mask and Dagger, dramatic organiza tion, made effective pictures o dif ferent phases of the military history of the United States. MAY DAY CELEBRATED High School Dance Part of Fete Staged in Boardnian. BOARDMAN, Or.. May 5. (Spe cial.) The high school dance last Saturday night was well attended. The boys cleared about $15 for the athletic fund. Owing to a cold wind It was necessary to stage the May day exercises in the school audito rium. Queen Mildred was escorted to her throne by the master of cere monies and attendants The Parent-Teacher association met immediately after and arranged for delegates to the state convention at Pendleton May 11-13. Mrs. S. H. Boardman. Mrs. C. G. Playpen. Mrs. Karl Harper and Mrs. Lulu Wick lander were chsea. T WAS about one week ago that Fred Richards made what he solemnly promise! would be his last appearance in municipal court. Richards, who is addicted to the use of the hypodermic needle, pleaded long and strenuously at that time with Judge Rossroan.' "If you'll just give me one more chance, Judge. I'll promise that you'll never see me again. It will be the opportunity of a lifetime. I'm off the stuff, and I can prove it to you. Just give me a 180-day sentence and su3 perid it, and watch me keep my prom ise. If I ever come back here, you can give me life. With ' grave misgivings. Judge Kossman did as the man desired. Yes terday he was back again. While Patrolman Sperry was pacing his beat a man walked up to him at Broadway and Larrabee street. "If -you want a real drug addict, there is o.ie down the street," he said. "He's giving himself a shot in the arm right on the sidewalk." The "real dope addict" was Rich ards. - "Now, judge. If you'll give me Just one more chance. 111 promise you'll never see me again; " Richards commenced. "Why, I gave ycu that last week," the judge interposed. "I know, but I was just on my way to the dock to take a steamer for San Francisco." It was here that Ted Lansing, deputy city attorney, cut In. The only trouble is that there is a little strike and the steamers aren't running towards San Francisco," he commented. Well, Richards," said Judge Ross man, "you go upstairs ior bit aays while we are waiting for the strike to end, and maybe at the end of that time, the boats will be running again so you can get your sea ride. appearance, befo're Judge Rossman yesterday, in the person of Timothy Moriarty, red even to the tip of his hair. He was charged with being a vag rant " "Are you' a vagrant?" the judge asked him. . "I am an Industrial revolutionist," proudly stated Moriarty. B. A. Green, attorney and counseler Cor many of the "wobblies.V inter posed in the conversation. "I demand a Jury trial for this man," he stated. The judge complied and set the trial for May 17. All honors for pure, downright lazl ness in the municipal court handicap were yesterday awarded to Henry Liebe by Judge Rossman. Other en trants were plainly outclassed by the 18-year-old youth, who was charged with being a vagrant. During his arraignment Liebe, who is somewhat inclined to rotundity, leaned for support against the walls of the court, the railings and even the bar of justice itself. The only display of anything akin to energy came when Judge Rossman asked as to his plea. 'Guilty, of course," Liebe replied to the judge's query. "Do you have any money?" "Nan." "Do you have a job?" "Nan." "What do you want me to do Witt you?" Well, judge, tnere am t no use is turning me loose." "Would you like to go to the poor farm, where they don't do much work?" Yah, sure, fine, if you can promise me they won t maKe me work. The judge, however, did not send him to the poor farm. "I have one regret, he said, and hat is that the county rockpiie -isn't in operation so I can send you out there. You are going upstairs for 21 nays, and I am going to tell the jailer to give you all the hard work he can find, and If he can't find enough we'll make some for you." A new brand of radical made its The wheel of justice in municipal court spun slowly around yesterday, and in due time Delia Fletcher, charged with drunkenness, was djs " wnen no complaint was lodged against her. In the grist of the day's business, slight heed was ptid to the case, but behind it all was n nine .story, wnicn judge Kossman related late in the afternoon, as he was resting in his chambers from the aay s lasers. "I was fitting here In all peace and quiet yesterday afternoon." ouoth the judge, "when, of a sudden some of the most piercing, blood-curdlirnr shriek it ever neara rang throuerh th building.

The game of tag was mingled with the sport of hide and seek !n the police station yesterday, with Bill Tully, handsome traffic qfficer, as the official tagger and George E. Mc Donald as "It." For an even dozen times, McDonald, who lives at 1104 East Flanders and has offices in the Exchange building, tas been tagged for parking his automobile all day in the restricted .listrict. Each and every time Mc Donald forgot to report to headquar ters with his half of the tag. Yesterday another tag came through the traffic division with Mc Donald's monicker on it.

The Tire WITHIN the next 24 hours American car owners will buy around $2,000,000 worth of tires. People will say that here's - ' another picture of Ameri- can buying power. Forgetting, perhaps, that the thinking power of the average citizen is the thing to be dealt with today. Spectacular money and runaway expense don't go with him any more. When he sets out to buy a tire he is not interested in big sales figures, but in the one individual tire he is getting here and now. There is-a movement among tire-dealers to make tire -economy a reality to the car owner. These dealers are han dling nothing but United States Tires. Gearing-up to meet the new thrift-times. A customer comes in and asks for, let's say, a 35 x 5 Royal Cord. His size is in stock. No waiting. No be ing talked into a "second choice" make or a "job-lot". Open good faith on both 'ides of the deal. And the purchaser goes away with a fresh live tire of current manufacture. ight Now All this is economy and service. And there isn't any other kind of economy and service. i There are thousands of dealers right now who are concentrating . on United States Tires. Thousands more are getting ready to do the same thing. They believe in U. S. quality, in the U. S. square policies to the full extent that they put their whole personal investment behind what U. S. stands for. It is a pleasure to say that these tire men are laying the corner-stone for a tire service far ahead of anything the motorist has ever known before. Go where you find the U. S. Sign and see. O Tor 'ire Branch; 111-115 North Sixth Street SALES EXCEED OUTPUT XEW LCTBER BUSINESS ' AHEAD OP MIILS. IS De- Production on AVest Coast Is dared' to Be 2 9 Per Cent Below Normal.
