FOUMDEP 1651 SEVENTY-NINTH YEAR, NO. 52 SaJem, Oregon, Tuesday Horning, May 28, 1329 PRICE FIVE CENTS 9 IIETOIE PARIS CONFAB Calculations Are Started By Experts Preparatory to More Negotiations Divergent Opinions Between German and Allied Del egates Yet Held PARIS, May 27 (AP) Tech nicians worked through the night on computations that the experts on the reparations conference to morrow may use them to give new lite to the negotiations. "Owen D. Young and his staff today gave new rigor to the com mittee, which was considered moribund at the end of last week, by examining with other experts a new possibility of a way out of the deadlock between the Germans ; and the allies. 1 1 The operation most favored takes the form of new calcula tions as to what the annuities originally proposed by Mr. Young would yield if they began at other dates than April 1, 1929. which was the basis for the original cal culations. The experts tonight would not reveal what the new da tea were. The creditor experts still in sist that payments under the Dawes plan ought to continue at least until the end of this year. Dr. HJalmar Schacht holds to his demand that they cease with April 1929. The difference in actual pay ments between the two points of view would be about 630,000,000 marks (approximately $151,200, 000). The creditors relied on this additional sum to enable them to agree on a repartition of pay ments among themselves which would permit acceptance of the Young annuities. Since Dr. Schacht rejects this view, it is necessary to find some way of reconciling the divergent opinions. E planning and Zoning Com mission Votes to Re ject Application Unfavorable recommendation was voted by the city planning and zoning commission Monday night on the application of T. W. Campbell for a change of zone which would permit him to oper. ate a store on North 24th street near the state hospital grounds. The commission pointed out in its recommendation to the city council that the proposal was contrary to the plan whereby cones are uniform on both sides of the street and extend to the middle of the block. In this case, the change was asked for one lot only. The commission authorized ap . pointment of a committee to re draft the ordinance designed to permit High street property own ers to install an ornamental light ing system. The ordinance was drafted originally by the commis sion, amended and passed by the council, and .then at the commis sion's request, vetoed by Mayor Llvesley because of the .amend ments. The commission will send a no tice to persons who have stored wood on the block bounded by 18th, 13th. Cross and Wilbur streets, that this use of the prop erty Is contrary to the toning or dinance.

(AP) The senate rules committee sought vainly today to find the source of the information of the published roll call purporting to show the vote on confirmation of Irvine Lenroot as a federal Judge and then called a meeting for to morrow to consider the many pro posals for open sessions during consideration of executive nomin ations by the senate. Paul Mallon, a reporter for the United Press, who was one of the newspapermen publishing the pur ported Lenroot roll call, declined under questioning to disclose the source of his information on which the roll call was based. Executive Session ! Follows Inquiry Chairman Moses called an ex ecutive session after the brief ex- j amination of Mallon. There was j no Indication that the committee ! would call other newspapermen or that any action was in contempla tion against Mallon for his refus al to answer some of the commit tee's questions. After the brief executive session. Senator Moses made the following announcement in the senate: "It Is the plain concensus of the committee that as a conse quence of the episode two results have followed. One is that which took place resulting in the barring of representatives of the press as sociations from the floor of the senate. The other is an inevitable amendment to the rules of the senate regarding executive ses sions." Put under oath, Mallon re plied "I must respectfully decline to answer" after being asked on what Information he bad based his purported roll call. Stage Offers, Presents, for Fliers Who Broke All Endurance Marks FORT WORTH. Tex., May 27. (AP) Reg. L. Robbins and James Kelly today began to reap some of the rewards in store for them as the new holders of the world's endurance flight reeord. Rested by a long sleep after completing 172 hours, 32 minutes, second of continuous flight in their single motored monoplane Fort Worth, the air men awoke today to find presents and lucra tive offers pouring in on them. The acclaim and bids for their services were in sharp contrast with the little aid the former rail road mechanic and the erstwhile eowpuncher received in preparing for the endurance test. Scores of offers for vaudevile engagements, newspaper and mag azine articles on the flight and various positions with alreraft concerns were received. Plan to Make "Barnstorming Tour" Robbins and Kelly had not de cided what course to follow, but friends express the belief that they would go on an aerial "barn storming tour." A representative of the Mahon- ey-Ryan Aircraft corporation of St. Louis arrived with word that a new Ryan plane with a Wright whirlwind motor would be pre sented to the fliers In recognition of their reeord smashing cruise In the Fort Worth, a rebuilt Ryan plane. Robbins and Kelly will receive 15,600 each from the Fort Worth association of commerce and $,- 000 will be divided between K. K. Hoffman and H. 8. Jones, who re fueled the endurance ship during Its flight of more than seven days wbieh ended Sunday afternoon. Approximately 32.000.wUl be paid to Robbins and Kelly by air craft companies which offered the men $100 an hour for each hour they exceeded the former -reeord of 160 hours, 40 minutes, IS sec onds set by the army monoplane Question Mark. The barograph of the Fort Worth was on Its way to Wash ington today where it will be ex amined before official recognition will be accorded the new record.

The colonel wore the same dark blue suit In which he had appeared on all of his visits to Englewood.

Morrow home in an automobile; for an unannounced destination. Lindbergh was batless as they mo tored away. Ambassador Morrow had departed by motor car a short! time before. News of the wedding came as a complete surprise. No advance announcement of the date had been made, although there had been many newspaper guesses, most of which had favored mid June.
