Storage Crisis Over The peak load of the strawberry i-rop is either passing or soon to pass. The time depends on who! her you inquire of a canner or packer receiving berries most ly from the low lands or partly from the high hill lands, like those of the Silver Creek Falls district and the section back of Sublimity. The former will tell you the peak is passing, or has passed. The lat ter will say it will pass in about five davs But cherries are coming on the heels of the strawberries. Some soft white cherries are coming in and being canned now, and sev eral concerns will begin taking Koval Anns on Monday; others July 5. And loganberries, too Some concerns will receive logan berries on Monday. Storage Crisis Knding The situation on barrelled strawberries is relieved somewhat The flood danger at Portland, that threatened cold stroage plants near the water front, is over, and there is also relief on account of the passing of the peak on soft berries that go mostly into bar rels; The rush on barrelled straw- lorries may be imagined when you know that one Portland cold storage plant took in 1674 barrels last, -Sunday; barrels that weigh 1 j'A st"A 450 pounds each. r-vft storage warehouses were rather well filled up with fish and meat when the strawberry season opened. Some Salem berries have been taken care of at Astoria cold .storage nlants. There will have to be better facilities for future years, for our strawberry acreage will keep on inceasing.

Curtis Townsend, 21, and Adrian Loomis, age 19, Sa lem youths who are said to have confessed to a long list of house robberies and auto thefts which have been puzzling local police for several months. Bail for each of the three was set at $2500. After the filing or the criminal complaint against they, they were taken to the coun ty jail. Credit for the solving or the mysterious series of depredations goes largely to Officer Louie Ol son of the Salem police force, ac cording to other officers who as sisted in rounding the boys up. A nhonogranh, recently stolen i from the Claude Moon residence at 980 North Winter street, was found in the possession of a group gathered on the state capitol grounds, and traced to the Loomis youth. Loomis told a plausible story of how it came. into his pos- session, but Officer Olson, becom- ng suspicious, finally succeeded I in securing a statement from him J involving the two other youths. According to their reported fession, the three have been work- ing together for several monins. i and admit having broKen into at I least eleven Salem homes during i that time, as well as having stolen at least six expensive cars for joy rides. Police are still checking up on their story and believe that the three are responsible for a majority of the recent petty rob- Jberies committed here Homes which the youths are al leged to have entered include those of the following: Dr. E. H Hobson, Claude Moon, Clifford Ir win. Fred Tiffany. O. E. Price Frank Bligh, Eugene Eckerlin, R W. Hartman. Donald W. Miles. Ben Colbath and Mrs. Elva Jep- sen. Tney were mgntenea away from several others, it is said. Loomis has also confessed, the officers say, to having taken at least six' cars, including those of Daniel Fry, Jr., Dr. G. E. Prime, R. G. Stenson and Dr. Jerald S Backstrand. All the stolen cars were dAxerteH after a Inv ride and found by police a few hours after they were stolen.

PROPOSAL SAID TO DENOTE 1111 N Compromise on Naval Re duction Plan Unfavored by State Department 4 HOPE PLACED IN GIBSON American Delegation Head Expect ed to Write Scheme Into Final Agreement; Rrit ish Plan Eliminated WASHINGTON, June 22 ( AP) The American proposal to Great Britain and Japan at Geneva for limitation of navay auxiliary craft was described today at the state department as representing the minimum naval needs of the Unit ed States and as not susceptible to radical change. Worked out in detail long in ad vance, wjth j:-aretui consideration given by President Coolidge and state and navy department offic ials, the plan for extending to cruisers, destroyers and submar ines the 5-3-3 ratio was held to embody virtually the only basis on which the United States is willing to negotiate a treaty. Plan Slightly Elastic It was described by officials as elastic only to a degree but to what extent Ambassador Hugh Gibson leading the American delegation and president of the three-power conference, is authorized to revise it, has not been disclosed. Lacking official reports from Gibson as to his own view and those of his naval advisers regard ing the British and Japanese coun ter proposals, spokesmen for the administration would express only general opinions of the progress of the conference. They remained hopeful that the Gibson plan would be written into a final agree ment. , With state department officials (Continnpd an Psc 4.)
