Anr 18. (AP) Henry Ford favors Hoover for president because the latter is opposed to changing the Eigh teenth Amendment, the manufac turer said in a statement to news papermen at his wayside Inn here. "The worst thing that could happen to this country would be a step backward In Our fight against liquor," he said. "I am interested in anything to keep the 18th Amendment as It Is. If Hoover stands on that belief, and I am sure he does. I am for him." Mr. Ford said, he had no fear of prohibition being repealed. "Such a change would be a ca lamity," he declared, "but there is no possibility of it. As for present enforcement conditions, we manage to get along well enough at Detroit, although we are. next door to Canada. Per sonally, I would turn out the army and nary to stop bootlegging. But If the law were changed,! we would have to shut ud our plants. Everything In the United! States Is keyed up to a new pace! which started with prohibition.! The speed at which we operate! our motor cars, run our Intricate j machinery, and generally live would be impossible with liquor. No, .there is no chance of even modification." Mr. Ford predicted that Edison would soon discover a rubber sub stitute which - would make the United States untirely Indepen-jit dent of foreign rubber plantations. He said Edison, whom- he visited last week, has found that a sort of rubber can be obtained from every weed that grows.

SALES bSe Second Block of $100,000 ; To be Acted ' Upon at Monday Session ; State Expected to Make Bid As Result of Opinion as to Validity Sale of 8100.000 worth of bridge bonds is the biggest item that appears on the program for Monday night's meeting of the city eouneil. This will be the sec ond 8100,000 block sold of the 8350,000 Issue authorized in the June, 1927 election for construc tion of 17 bridges. While ' many Inquiries about khese bonds have been received by Recorder Mark Poulsen. It -is ex pected that the number of bidders will be only average,' and city of fidals are wondering whether this Issue will bring as large a premi um as has been obtained for other bonds sold by the city within re- eent months, s . - . - f-.-r r, vj: ; Bond Market Slack The bond market Is reported to be at a low ebb, a reflection of call money conditions In Wall street. The city charter requires that bonds must be sold at par or better. It was predicted, recently; that the stats of Oregon .would enter a hid on these bonds. State Treas urer Kay, recently obtained an opinion from the attorney general on the legality, of these bonds, questioning the fact that they were not voted by a two-thirds ma jority. The attorney general ruled that the bonds are entirely legal as the Issue came before the voters In the form of a charter amend ment, which requires only a ma jority, and that this new part of the charter is as binding as any of its earlier provisions. .The state has bid on Salem I bonds a number of times, but has never been the successful bidder. One Ordinance Up Aside from routine ordinances segregating street assessments, only one ordinance is coming up at this council meeting for. final passage, and. that Is the one pro posing to increase the rity engi neers salary from 200 to 275 a month. This ordinance appeared before the - council uiflpbnsored by any or its members, and due to the fact that It was drawn without the assistance of the city attorney, t is believed to be faulty in that t does not provide for repealing axisting ordinances with which it conflicts." ' While some of the councilmen at least are in favor of granting tne increase on the ground that the city engineer's work has ex panded to the point where it Is justified. It is expected that this ordinance will be withdrawn and a new one prepared to take its place. The proposal to put the council- manager plan charter on the bal lot will not come up for considera tion at this meeting, as the joint committee of the service clubs, the council and the American Legion has not completed its considera tion of changes and additions which may be deemed advisable. Vacancy to be Fined Selection of a councilman to succeed C. O. Engstrom, repre sentative of the first ward, who resigned at the last meeting when became apparent that his com pany wouia De awarded: the North High street bridge construction contract. Is another matter which is slated for Monday night's meet ing. Carl T. Pope and Henry H. Van devort, nominees for the office in the November election, have been mentioned as possible selections to fillthe vacancy. 2 Wounded Brush For Bandits in another car with Lyman and Harold Roland. 5 At Waubamiek the pursuers came on the Lyman ear stuck in a ditch and unoccupied.
