Summorvllle, Ore.:
As a resident of the Oregon coun

WARDENS HAVE

WASHINGTON, April 27. Oregon
and' twelve other public land states
will have the public land formulae
for federal aid appropriations con
tinued under the terms of a now
highway bill which Senator Townsend,
chairman of the senate postoffiee and
post roads committee, will introduce
this week after, a conference todav
with highway and highway transport
officials.
It i3 proposed to continue federal
aid appropriations of ?100,000,000 an
nually for a two-year period, but with
drastic changes in the method of dis
tribution, so that there will bo pri
mary nnd interstate highways.
Commission Favored.
'Because of the great forest lands in
Oregon, it is Interesting to note that
provision has been made to appro
priate. $5,000,000 for use in construct
ing forest roads during the next fis
cal year and $10,000,000 the following
year.
The plan which representative
automobile and farmers' organizations
indorsed, provides for a federal high.
way commission to supervise distri
bution of funds and maintenance of
roads.
One of the changes In the bill calls
for matching federal funds by states
instead of counties as in the past.
This policy has, as President Hard
ing pointed out in his message to con
gress, been responsible for Inadequate
highway systems. An outstanding
feature of the new bill will be the
definition as to distribution which is
expected to correct tho abuses gr6w
lng out of the indiscriminate use of
federal funds.
Complaint Made.
The chief complaint of highway
transportation officials, was the wide
gap botween good roads. In certain
counties the roads were unimproved
and the lack of road continuity pre
vented use of heavy motor traffic,

LONDON, April 27. The British
foreign office today asked Berlin to
clarify some clauses in her latest rep
arations offer.
The note indicated that If accept
able explanations of the vague claus
es are received, the new proposals
will not be rejected outright, but will
be taken before the supreme council
this week for careful consideration.
A foreign office official told the
United Press that "the offer brings
a settlement much nearer. It provides
a basis for discussion, but naturally
the proposals must be altered befoe
they can be accepted by the allies."
The foreign office regarded the note
as clumsily prepared. It asked parti
cularly that Berlin explain fully its
plan for funding the debt. It also de
sired a clear explanation of the Ger
man demand that the allies abandon
the penalties and guarantees which
have been exacted.
Allied experts met thi3 afternoon
to analyze the German offer. If Ber
lin's interpretation of salient points
is received In time the expert will
prepare a statement setting forth all
details for consideration of the su
preme council.
