THE HAGUE. Aug. 29 (AP)
. 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,

CHERRY growers of the Salem district will hold a meeting
at the Salem chamber of commerce rooms tonight at 8
o'clock, to consider participation in a coast-wide protest
against the changes in the cherry tariff proposed by the sen
ate committee.
Egbert Smith of Napa, Cal., vice president of the Cali
fornia Cherry Growers association, conferred in Salem Thurs
day with Max Gehlhar, president of the Salem Cherry Grow
ers association, and other0
prominent growers here, with
the result that the meeting to

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

be heard.

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

first time on a major flight she
will not be under the control
of her veteran commander. Dr.
Hugo Eckener.
On completion today of the
first airship girdling ot the globe
and the fastest circumnavigation
by any means of transportation,
Dr. Eckener announced that he
would stay in America about 12
days and would follow his dirigi
ble home to Friedrichshafen by

to visit Washington, New York,

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.

Special Programs With Con

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

ground directors, Gladys Mills.

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.

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.
