French Strenuously Contra
dict Report About Keep
ing Dirigible Away
Flight Delayed One Day Due
to Misunderstanding,
Reports Indicate
PARIS, May 14. (AP) The
French foreign office said tonight
that it was mystified by the state
ment of Dr. Hugo Eckener that
failure to receive permission toi
fly over France had caused post
ponement of the start of the Graj.
Zeppelin for America.
The foreign office insisted that
authorization had been given some
time ago and that there had been
no question of revoking tt. It was
pointed out that on the last flight
to the Mediterranean not only did '
the French allow the dirigible to
erni3e over their country but pro
vided an honorary escort of j
I rench planes during part of the
trip.
Weather Blamed For
Pclay In Takeoff
It was considered here that
weather was a greater cause for
the postponement than the mat
ter of permission. A gale was
blowing off the Brittany coast to
day with such force as to sink a
fishing boat with its crew of three.
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Ger
many, May 14. (AP) The dir--iT
ieible Graf Zennelin will start its
a flight early Thursday morning and
not tomorrow and whether it at
ieiffpt a two hour dash across
France depends on the weather.
French Permission
Arrives At Last
Announcement was made late
tonight that permission of the
French govern meat to fly over its
soil, which Dr. Hugo Eckener Bad
said had not come to him although
he asked for it two weeks ago,
was received by the dirigible com
mander at ten o'clock tonight.
The condition was attached ihft
the flight be mad between seven
a. m., and nine a.' m., and ofiiec.i
of the airship declared it was im
possible to assemble their crew in
time for a start tomorrow that
would enable them to conform to
this rule.
Dr. Eckener tonight believed
that the violent storm over the
English channel might subside in
another 24 hours so that he could
fly by way of Holland and avoldl
the necessity of any French per
mission. The 18 passengers who have
signed up for the second flight of
the Graf Zeppelin to America had
assembled here early today and
throughout the evening impatient-!
ly waited in the Kurgarten hotel
for word as to whether their ad
venture would begin sooji after
daybreak.
HTK EXPERT TO
RETURN TO FRANCE
Ernest Loir, who has been In
Salem since the first of December
to supervise setting up of a knitt
ing machine for the Miles Linen
company, will leave this morning
for his home in Paris, France. He
plans to return direct there, ex
cept for a two-day stay in New
York City.
The machine now in use at the
local mill is the first of its kind set
up in the west and one of few in
this country, Mr. Loir said Tues
day. Loir, who is 70 years old
but doesn't look It. lived in this
country tor 20 years, returning to
France in 1919. Although he says
he likes Salem and the climate is
n't unlike that in hie home, he
said he was happy to be returning
to France, "Where the living is all
right even if it does take 25 francs
to make a dollar." His big objec
tion to this country is that it
"doesn't seem like home."
The machine shipped to this
country by hie country only
weighs 12 tons. Word from the
mill describes it as doing excellent
work. It it being used to knit
seines for the fishermen in the Co
lumbia, thus making its controbu
tion to the third largest industry

RATES F III R TIFF
Milk, Cream, Flaxseed and
Windowglass Are Given
Boost by President
WASHINGTON. May 14.
(AP) While a number of repub
licans and democrats were finding
fault with the pending tariff bill
in the house today. President Hoo
ver took advantage of the flexible
provisions of the existent law to
proclaim increases In duties on
flaxseed, milk, cream, and win
dowglass. On recommendation of the tar
iff commission, the executive
raised the tariff On flaxseed from
40 to 5C cents a bushel, the same
rate proposed in the Hawley bill.
Some western republicans, how-
ever, are not satisfied with the
56 cent rate
The milk duty was increased
from two and one-half to three
and three-quarters cents a gallon.
The bill provides a duty of five
cents.
The rate on cream was raised
from 20 to 30 cents a gallon. The
bill proposes an increase to 4S
cents.
The duties on window glass
were boosted by varying degrees
from the present rate range of
one and one quarterto two and
one half cents a pound. The bill
provides similar increases.
Asked what effect the presiden
tial increased would have, on the
rates in the bill. Representative
Tilson of Connecticut, the house
republican leader, said the presi
dent acting on cases which have
been pending some time befora
the tariff commission merely was
giving relief now without waiting
for the pending bill to be enacted
into law.

An article published yesterday

The article, a photostatic copy
of which was included as a part

social Dreacn Detween MCL.ean ana
Prince De Ligne, the Belgian am
bassador. It said a story was cur
rent that the publisher had been
requested by the diplomat to
leave the Belgian embassy after
he had dined there.
The Record article said that the
next day McLean's Washington
Post "began printing outbursts

that the Belgian ambassador had
called at the state department "to
find if he really was persona non

"Secretary of State Stimson,"
the article continued, "immediate

"But it was President Hoover
who completely stemmed the

highly diplomatic, but to those in

The McLean brief declared the
publisher:

DIRIGIBLE FLIGHT
Commander Says French
"Pigishness" to Blame
for Day's Delay
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN. Germany
May 14. (AP) With weather
conditions seldom more favorable
for a voyagle across the Atlantic
ocean, the Hamburg-American air
liner Graf Zeppelin will remain in
port tomorrow morning instead of
leaving for Lakehurst, N. J.
Departure of the big dirigible.
assigned for this voyage to the
Hamburg-American line for entry
into the United States, was sud
denly postponed this afternoon
until tomorrow.
Her commander. Dr. Hugo Eck
ener, said it would he Impossible
for him to get away on scheduled
time because he had not yet re
ceived permission to fly over
France.
His statement brought a denial
from the French government.
When informed tonight that the
French government declared per
mission had been granted for the
flight across French territory, Dr.
Eckener insisted: "If so, it cer.
tainly hasn't reached me or the
Zeppelin works."
Germany's present agreement
with France provides that aircraft
carrying neither radio nor photo
graphic apparatus may fly over
France without special permis
sion, but airships like the Graf
Zeppelin, equipped with radio and
photographic apparatus, must ob
tain a special permit.
"The German foreign office told
me today that the French foreign
office had made remarks about
our having flown over the Le
Creusot munitions works on our
first voyage to America." Dr.
Eckener declared. "But this is
nonsense. Le Cruesot lay on a
straight line from Besancon to the
Vean. Naturally from a height of
400 meters we couldn't see any
thing." Dr. Eckener Baid that this was
the third time he had had "schein
erei (piggishness) with the
French."
"They delayed the permit for
our first American flight and also
for the second trip to the orient.
It is sheer Insanity." insisted the
zeppelin's commander.

Toad Found;
City Almost
Gets on Map
Salem got on the "discovery"
map yesterday almost. And
while it lasted, local scientists lost
plenty of heart beats. It all be
gan when a reptile resembling the
horned toad was found in some
iris dug up at the Henry J. Mil
lie home Tuesday morning.
Horned toads, be tt explained,
simply aren't found in western
Oregon but live in arid sections.
Hence the excitement; if the
"find" proved really to be a horn
ed toad, scientists bad a right to
be worked up for something big
had happened.
And sure enough. Professor Ce
cil Monk of the Willamette Uni
versity decided after due exam
ination that the creature was a
horned toad. The Millie's suspect
ed that they had brought the rep
tile with them from Yakima in
iris bulbs about four years ago
and that it had lived In this cli
mate all that time. That was on
conjecture, but it blew up when
It was learned that the sure
enough horned toad was one of
two which Clarence Bowne had
exhibited recently at the Ken
Brown store. The H. T. had sim
ply escaped from display.

A farm relief bill unacceptable
to President Hoover because it

was passed today by th senate.
54 to 33, after a full month's la
bor. Both branches of congress now
have acted upon agricultural relief
legislation, but the greatest hb
certainty surrounds its final en
actment because of the sharp dif
ference between the senate and
the house on the debenture action.
The president early in the session
strongly objected to that method
of farm relief.
The senate measure will he
messaged tomorrow to the house
where administration leaders are
inclined to refuse the bill. They
base this on contentions that tee
senate had no right to initiate tie
debenture proposal on the theory
that it is revenue legislation aad
therefore constitutionally must or
iginate In the house. Strong op
position to this opinion was ex
pressed today in the senate and
ministration leaders have been
working to prevent a deadlock.
