City Council Faces Issue at i
Its Regular Meet Here
Monday Night
Lighting Committee Making
Thorough Study of Re
quests by Firm
Final disposition of the propos
ed new franchise for the South
.ern Pacific Motor Transport com
pany for Its bus lines In the city,
the awarding of a contract for the
four traffic control lights on which
bids were called two . weeks ago,
and reconsideration of the vetoed
"herd law" ordinance, loomed as
the principal items of business
facing the City council Monday
nisht .-.
The franchise ordinance was put
off after coming op oarfhlrd read
ing at the last meeting, and re
ferred to the lighting committee
for study. What interest the light
ing committee might have In it
was a mystery both to the public
and to the chairman of the com
mittee. Nevertheless, it has been
hinted that some members of the
council, particularly the represen
tatives of the fifth ward, will have
something to say before it, comes
to a yote. ' -
Airport Matters To
lie Threshed Oat
Completion of the purchase of
approximately 95 additional acres
for the airport, is another item on
the program. The question s to
the airport committee's action in
ordering commencement of cer
tain phases ot construction work,
was brought op Friday by some
of the councilmen.
Members of the committee ex
plained Saturday that they had ar
ranged to have a resolution pre
pared and signed by a majority of
the council members, authorizing
this work. No such resolution bad
been filed with the recorder up to
Saturday afternoon. 4 ,

The committee , members ex
plained that the grubbing work
was a minor matter, and that a de
sire to expedite the improvement
of the airport prompted their ac
tion in the interim betweenjoun
cil meetings. The small amount of
work being done on the runways,
was simply a test of grading ma
chinery as to its adaptability for
the work.

EXPORT DEBErJTIJRE

Provision To Be Eliminated
from Bill on Agricul-
tural Aid, Claim
WASHINGTON. June 1. (AP)
Administration leaders express
ed the opinion today that the sen
ate will uphold a prospective rec
ommendation by the farm relief
conference committee to eliminate
the export debenture plan from
the farm bill expected to be pre
sented to both branches of con
gress next week for final approval.
A careful check of the senate
membership was held to have
shown that three or four senators
who voted for the debenture plant
last month have decided to sup
port the conference report recom
mending its elimination on the
ory that farm legislation would be
greatly delayed if the controversy
over this proposal Is further pro
longed.
With this situation In mind, the
leaders are prepared to ask a vote
in the senate on the conference .re
port as soon as the conferees com
plete their work. Senator MeNary,
of Oregon, chairman of the con
ference said he expected this to be
early next week.

Eight Plants to Operate as
Compared With Steven
Last Summer
The canning and paeklng sea-

opens tomorrow. It will end about
Christmas time in several ot the
canneries on apples, and some
time later, likely, on carrots and
parsnips, and perhaps small on

tracts on those vegetables. In fu
ture years, the season will last all
the year, when a longer line of
vegetables will be used, together
with the making of jams and Jel
lies from fruits in cold storage.
The season opening tomorrow
will be the biggest In the history
of this canning center and pack

people in the Salem plants at the

be eight canning plants In opera

will be at least nine next year, in

CiESE III RIOTS
LONDON, June 1 (AP) No
confirmation from other sources
had been received here tonight on
reports published in Berlin that
China had withdrawn its officials
at Moscow following upon a
strong Soviet note protesting
against recent raids on Its consul
ates in Manchuria.
The Chinese charge d'affaires
and cvuwular officials were said to
hare been summoned, home.
Chinese authorities recently
raided the Russian consulate at
Harbin and were also reported to
have raided three smaller consul
ates. The staffs were detained over
night and other Russians found in
the buildings are still under ar
rest. It was reported the raiders
sought evidence that the soviet
government was supporting the re
volt ot Marshal Feng Yn-Hsiang.
The Moscow government -dispatched
a ' note characterizing
these raids as being ot "violent
and unlawful character" and
warned the Chinese against fur
ther trying its patience by "pro
vocative actions and violations of
treaties and agreements." It ar
gued that since the Chinese .had
not respected the international
law of extra territoriality the so
viet did not feel itself bound to
give this protection to Chinese

Police Necessary
To Guard Hoover
Palo Alto Home
WASHINGTON, June l
(AP) The zealousness of
souvenir hunters has neces
sitated placing plain clothes
police around the home of
President Hoover in Palo
Alto, California, to save it
from depredations.
Word was received at the
White House recently that
rosebushes and shrubbery
as well aa parts of the. house
were being taken away by
visitors. As a result pri
vate detectives were em
ployed to guard the
grounds.

LONDON. June 1 (AP) Alii
three major political parties went
into the trenches tonight for a
post-election campaign tor power.
After the costliest election in
the history of England, with ex
penditures running Into millions
of dollars, Great Britain found it
self today with a new house of
commons but no majority govern
ment capable of directing It.
Ramsay MacDonald supplied
labor's answer 16 the question of
the hour in England, which Is
is "coalition government or new
general election." The labor lead
er declared he would use every
ounce of influence he possessed
to prevent another election for
two years.
"If I can prevent It there shall
be no disturbance of the country
by an election within the next two
years," he said.
The labor party, which in 30
years has increased its seats from
2 to 287, is the strongest in the
new house, but must find, with
outlying divisions yet unreported,
21 supporters among other ele
ments of the house in order to
govern with stability.
Conservatives, liberals, labor
ites and independents alike thus
entered upon a political battle of
wits, and all the party strate
gists were busy studying the Con
