Agreement of the Young repara tions plan, hailed as the greatest achievement possible to post-war European statesmanship. was reached today by the six power conference. . As a consequence, the Rhlne will h cleared of allied act uu - , troops by June 30. this having been agreed upon today, contin gent upon a final concert on the Young plan as a whole. The chief remaining problem is the establishment of an interna tional banking institution to han dle funds under the Young plan. It was expected that experts would bo named to work "out details be fore the present conference ad journs. The chief points at issue are the location of the proposed bank and the definition of its power. Many Serions Difficulties Overcome at Conference In thus bringing to a success ful conclusion the negotiations in stituted in this city, the conferees surmounted numerous difficulties. Principal mong these was the British demand for a greater pro portion of the reparations annui ties than provided by the experts who framed the young plan at Paris, and Germany's insistence upon early withdrawal of all troops from the Rhlneland. In both cases compromises solv ed the question. Ot one stage the determined stand of Phillip Snow den, chancellors of the British ex chequer, brought the proceedings to an Impasse but the huddle was finally stopped when France, Italy and Belgium agreed to changes in the quotas which satisfied about SO per cent of the British claims nd Mrs. Snowden agreed to sacri fice the other 20 per cent, (ierniany Backs Down On Evacuation Demands Similarly Germany gave way on her evacuation demands in the face of concessions from Belgium and France. Great Britain, early In thep roceedings, announced that her 6,000 troops remaining in Germany would start homeward Bept. 1, the date set for operation of the Young plan. Belgium agreed to start her withdrawals at the same time and France is to eva cuate one zone till this fall. The final contingtts, on the Main bridgehead will not, however, be back in France until some time early next year. A full session of the conference will be held tomorrow morning to clear up some ot the details of the work. The last session of the conference is set for Saturday and It is planned to have the Young plan officially adopted then. iEfHPlE SOUTH OF THIS CITY No serious nollutio'n of the Will amette river between Albany and 6alem was found by the pollution server crew directed by Dean H R.

Genuine Danger is Seen in New Schedule The- changes proposed by the senate committee, while apparent ly unimportant, will in reality have the practical effect of wip ing out the cherry tariff entirely, Mr. Smith declared. He is on a tour of the northwest, carrying the same message to groups of growers in all cherry producing centers. The cherry schedule changes proposed by the senate group are among, those which drew strenu ous protest from Senator Charles McNary of Salem in a telegram sent to the committee recently, objecting to an apparent intention to deny protection without giving the representatives ot the indus tries affected, an opportunity to be heard. resident Hoover Telegraphs Mass Meeting; Borah Gives Address NEW YORK, Aug- 29.

OREGON'S EXHIBIT 1KINC REAL HIT Oregon's exhibit at the Califor nia Diamond Jubilee at Sacramen to is proving a real sensation, ac cording to telephone word receiv ed here by Mrs. Ella S. Wilson secretary of the state fair board from D. M. Lowe, in charge of the exhibit. It is the only booth at the south ern fair to display real agricultur al products in their native state and practically the only one to have any live animals whatsoever Mr. Lowe said. While many states exhibit fruit, most of them have it preserved in acids in attractive jars, but Oregon's fresh fruit and vegetables and other agricultural products are making a real hit. The flax especially attracts at tention, many people seeing it there for the first time. Mr. Lowe has arranged it in an attractive border around the whole space, which is very large, where it la displayed to the best advantage. Many questions about the n'orth west are asked Mr. Lowe, he re ports, and its recreational and ag ricultural features are making a real impression, he believes. The fair, which is the 75th an niversary of the state fair, will continue until Sept. 10. At that time the Oregon booth will be re turned to Salem where It will be shown at the Oregon State Fair, Sept. 23 to 28.

It will be the Grafs fifth cross ing of the Atlantic and. or the first time on a major flight she will not be under the control of her veteran commander. Dr. Hugo Eckener.

Albany Man Is Riled at Judge Here After receiving two bills for an overtime parking tag issued on Commercial street July 12, 1929, Sam Frager, Albany second-hand dealer, writes that he Bent in an excuse in reply to the first and that should be sufficient. Frager replied to the first bill with the claim that he had been so ill following a dental operation that he was unable to drive his car from the parking space. He added that under the circum stances he thought he 'should be let off without having to pay the dollar " Police Judge Mark Poulsen does not agree with Frager in either case and feels that more re spect for a summons ot the Salem police should be shown and that a person expecting to take an anaesthetic should make provi sion for leaving his car where it would not break the law outside the parking limit area. Just what action will be taken against Fra ger had not been decided Thurs day. AFTER FBE YEARS A bumper wheat and oat crop is responsible for the Cherry City milling company opening its ware house bins for the first time in five years, It was said Thursday at the company office. The cold weather of early spring, instead of being responsible for a short crop as at first prophesied, did the re verse, preparing the ground for one of the heaviest general yields in recent years. As a result of the heavy harvest, warehouse men say they can hard ly give grain to the Portland ele vators, which are filled. Although Portland quotations usually follow Chicago ups and downs, when Chi cago wheat shot up three cents Thursday, Portland only went up a cent. Salem figures follow the Portland market pretty closely. With the warehouse full, the Cherry City concern is wondering how it will take care of 10,000 sacks of barley and spring grain that are yet to be brought in. BIBS.

CITY PLMGHIS WILL CLOSE WV Special Programs With Con tests Arranged For Season's End Close of the playground season this afternoon will be the occasion of field, track and water sports at the three city playgrounds. The programs will begin at 1:15 at Fourteenth street, Lincoln and Yew Park playgrounds. Events for little tots, for small boys and girls, medium sized ones and those of the junior high age are on the schedules. Prizes will be given in all classes for first place In each event. Fancy costumes, raffia mats, kites and airplanes will be shown as parts "of the work of the play ground schedule, some having al ready been judged and others com ing up for their first competition. All are the result of leisure hours directed by the playground super visors. The annual newsboys bicycle race will be run off at Fourteenth street, probably around the track marked by the circus tent. Swim ming races for all sized boys and girls, both beginners and experi enced will be another feature of the Fourteenth street schedule. Invitation to attend the final day programs is extended to par ents and others by the three play ground directors, Gladys Mills. Ruby Anderson and Louis Ander son. One sum jot $10 and two of 8 were paid Thursday on overtime parking tags which had been dis regarded until the present cam paign to get 100 per cent obser vance. Twenty-two one or two dollar fines were paid at the po lice court. L. E. Oberer paid the $10 for leaving his car in the same area too long on 10 occasions. He ap peared after the service of a war rant. T. A. Roberts and Lars R. Bergsvlk each parted with $8; $5 was left by Dr. C'. L. George; $4 each by Donald Watson and R. L. Runon; and V. Rollins $3. The excuse of having driven to some other place and then re turning to the same block Is of fered by most of those appearing on recent tags. The regulation forbidding parking anywhere within the same block for more than the time limit is having its effect as many were in the habit of moving their cars a few park ing spaces every time an officer checked their car.
