PAGE EIGHT The OREGON STATESMAN. Saknv Oregon. Thursday Morning. September 12, 1929 III rmiv mini m .mm Senators Dodge Controversy ; On Pennsylvania Man Until December By HAROLD OLIVER Associated Press Stall Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. (AP) The clonds that hung over senatorial progress with the tariff .were swept away today by post ponement until December of ac tion on the Vare seat controversy. .: . The later Issue, injected at the outset of consideration of the tar iff, had threatened to delay the MIL Its postponement on motion of Senator Watson, of Indiana, the republican leader, cleared the way for a fresh start on the only re maining legislature subject propon ed by President Hoover for the special session. Except for agreement on pro posals to consider first the admin lstrative provisions of the republi can revision measure and to dis pense with the initial reading to speed up debate, little attention was given to the tariff by the sen ate during the day. The motion to make the initial order of the business the sections embracing- the controversial flex ible tariff commission, and propos ed new valuation t clauses, was made by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking democrat on the finance committee, who plans to launch the opposition program tomorrow with delivery of a long prepared speech. Anxious to speed the tariff, Chairman Smoot of the finance committee proposed' to dispense with the first reading, and this waa argreed to. Thus, the amend - mends proposed to the administra tive provisions of the house bill .by the finance committee majority will be opened to consideration at the start, but general debate is ex pected to delay votes on any amendments for some time. , On top of the weekend request by farm organizations for revision upward of many of the proposed increased agricultural duties came a statement today from Chester M. Gray, legislative representative of the American Farm Bureau fed eration, saying the pending bill failed to give agriculture equal nrntivtlAn with InHnctrr Forwarded to all members of the senate, the statement said the leighted average ad valorem rate on farm products would be in creased from 28.34 per cent in the 'present law to 32.60 per cent in the finance committee bill, or an -Increase 'of 4.26 points. While the a i a products - would be raised Irom 38.18 per cent to 43.83 percent, an increase of 5.65 points. ."The weighted average rate In .the senate bill on industrial pro ducts," the statement added, "is '11.23 points higher than the rate n agricultural products, while in 'the act of 1922 (present law) this difference is 9.84 points an In crease; of the spread between in dustrial and agricultural protec tion in the bill over the act of 1.39 points." v If. the bill is not so amended as to provide for the higher duties requested by the farm organiza tions, Gray said it would be dif- , flcult to believe that the American farmer "will be happy with the - outcome of his effort to g .1 ade quate protection on his products." Italy's Growth in Flying Shown in Official Report Of Fascist Body at Rome By AXDRUE BERDIXG (Associate Press Staff Writer) Rome (AP) The cruise of 35 big Italian bombing planes to the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea, an dthe annual re port of General Italo Balbo, Un dersecretary for Aeronautics, have combined to reveal again Italy's astonishing growth in avia tion. The country of Ferrarln and Del Prete and Major de Bernard! no woccupies one or the chief levels in European military avia tion strata, only a little behind France, ahead of Germany and the equal of England. In another few years Italy may be leading all Eu rope in military and naval air craft. At the same time, her commer cial aviation is moving auicklv firward. Within the past year several ne wlines, land and water, have been opened. Overcoming her geographical difficulties namely, a mountainous backbone Italy is connecting all her major cities with passenger and mail lines. Local newspapers print time tables of the airlines as they do the schedules of the railroads. Nine lines ru nout of Rome, north, east, south and west, across land and aeross water. Every day a seaplane starts from Ostla, Rome's old seaport, and flies aeross the Tyrrhenian sea to the Island of Sardinia. Every day another plane arrives from the island. From the same point seaplanes leave for the long flight up the running down her long torso- coast to Columbu'a city. Genoa. In the same direction seaplanes depart for Barcelona, Spain and ny along the "Llgurian coast, past celebrated Monte Oarlo and Nice; or in the opposite direction to Naples, Palermo, and Tripoli, in north Africa. Land planes take off from the Littorio field, a few miles away, for Milan, Veniee and Vienna, or Bologna. Throughout Italy a similar ac tivity in commercial flying is con stantly going on. Italian planes link the eastern and the western Mediterraneans, unite the old civi lizations of Rome and Greece, con nect two continents, Europe and Africa, and bind Latin and Nordic Europe. General Balbo reported to the Chamber of Deputies that in 1928 six new lines, and in 1929 another six, were put in operation. The total of miles covered by the air lines doubled in one year, from 4,000 to 8,000. Jhe new line from Genoa to Marseilles gives direct mail com munication by air from Rome to fans and London. Italy is like wise on the line from London to India. A new accord with the French air minister, signed only could be held within 0 days from the first action. DIUS ILL SID B. M NUTS EAST m ran DENVER, Sept. 11. (AP) Fred Green, governor of Michi gan, was elected commander in chief of the United Spanish Am erican war veterans here today. Green was given nearly a two to one majority over Col. Winf ield Scott of Enid, Okla., former com missioner of pensions under the Coolidge administration. Green polled 839 votes and Scott 427 no other nominations for commander of chief were placed and the an ticipated three cornered tight fail ed to develop when supporters of Otto N. Rathe of St. Paul, Minn., did not place his name In nomin ation on the floor of the conven tion. Resolutions on scores of sub jects ranging from pensioner to church attendance were disposed of today by the convention. One proposal by the Monmouth, Ills., veterans to put the U. S. W. V, en record as favoring religions in struction in public schools of the country was allowed to go by without action. Failure .of public schools to give religious Instruction - will "even tually cause the. downfall of our : government," the proponent of the resolution said. On of the most impressive ova tions of the entire encampment was given Maj. Gen. A. Appleyard. confederate veteran of Tallahas see, Fla., when he addressed the assembly. The distinguished south erner put the delegates into an up roar when he gave the Spanish war veterans the credit for heal- llg the wounds of the Civil war.

OreSertrlT (AP) A program for obtaining a com plete report on the finances of this city, with the possible submitting to the voters of a proposal to ex ceed the per cent constitutional limitation upon the city' tax levy each year for five year to produce not to exceed 115,060 yearly to . retire interest warrants, was launched at last night's meeting of the city council. ' ' , Passage of the resolution at this "time will make it possible for the council to call an election after 10 stays to submit the proposition to the voters if desired. The election few weeks ago, assure Italy air communication with her own planes from Italian points to Tu nis, where thousands of Itlaians are living. The government of Mussolini is doing all it can to encourage civil aviation. In 1927 the government advanced $1,750,000 and in 1928, $2,500,000 for that purpose. The present budget calls for $3,400,- 000. The government, moreover. has encouraged the formation of air touring clubs, and has ordered the construction of 50O touring planes, called aeromobiles, of standard type, to be built at the disposal of the clubs. With reference to military avia tion. General Balbo did not reveal numerically the strength of the Italian air service; but a number of incidents have disclosed it as remarkably large. The fact that Italy holds the world's records both for speed and distance au gurs that the mechanical side of her air fleet is well forwarded. The cruises taken to both ends of the Mediterranean and to England by her bombing fleets forecast their ability to cover long dis tances without mishap. Italian pride In all this was re flected by General Balbo when he said that the "Arm yof the Sky," as it is called here, "constitutes by order of the Duce the most perfect instrument of power Italy possesses." E fl IB H BED FIGflTIUESDM US CHINA FRONT MUKDEN, Manchuria, Sept. 11 (AP) Russian and Chinese troops, after an outbreak of fight ing in the vicinity of Pogranich. naya over the weekend, tonight apparently had settled down to the task of patrolling the frontier within their respective lines as they have done for the past two months. The Manchurian government of ficially announced today that the fighting which had been in pro. gress at both eastern and western frontier points had cease last night. That in the vicinity of Manchuli. western terminus of the Chinese eastern railway which is the subject of this dispute. seemed to have been Indecisive and unimportant. At the opposite end of the rail way, at Pogranlchnaya, the strug gle was waged more bitterly and railway buildings were destroyed. Employes of the railway, telegram and customs staffs were able to return to their posts today after a total break In these communica tions for several days. Berlin dispatches Wednesday said that the Chinese legation had given the German foreign office a verbal reply to Russian proposals for settling the railway dispute which did not clear up any of the Russian points. Germany, which has acted in the interests of both nations, sent the reply to Moscow. . WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. ( AP ) Investigation Into the dis parity between Canadian and American wheat prices has been undertaken by the bureau of agri cultural economies it .was an nounced today at the request of the federal farm board. The Inquiry includes study of grain storage facilities and.' the causes of differences of prices In Canada and the United States for cash and future delivery - grain. The findings are expected by the board to serve as a guide in de termining its future policy innhe matter of encouraging expansion of farmer-owned ' and ' controlled storage facilities as well as deal ing with Immediate problems con fronting the grain growers. The decision to Institute the in vestigation was reached after the board had surveyed the situation and found the heavy carry-over of winter wheat and the big crop of spring wheat had clogged storage facilities with the resultant slow ing up- of the movement' of the crop to market for American grain. The Canadian grain move ment, however, was comparatively rapid, due partially to a short crop which was bringing an average of 8 eents a bushel more than the price received for domestic grain: . Nils A. Olson, bureau chief, ad vised the board the inquiry would be pushed and the findings made available as soon as possible. Plans for the inquiry were being formulated today at the brreau and called -for a field survey of storage facilities In several states along the Canadian border. According to Olson the inquiry Is in line with work which the bureau has been doing for the last several months. Although the farm board asked for all available in formation on the subject it was particularly interested in five ma jor points. These include: Availability and capacity of country elevator stor age space at terminal markets; rates and other conditions which are factors in determining the cost of storage and length of time grain may be stored; prices at country shipping points in relation to prices paid at terminal market and comparison of terminal mar ket prices by grades and classes of wheat, cash and future, with prices at Winnipeg. will be served the guests In a grove of pine trees adjacent to the ceremony site. Following the luncheon the visitors will be tak en to Alturaa and conducted on sightseeing tours of this city and and nearby scenic spots. SOVIET PUKES FLY HUEB LONDON, Sept. 11. (Wednes day) r- (AP) The Mail today prints a cable from Sir Percival Phillips at Mukden saying he was informed by. the headquarters of Marshal Chang Hsueh Liang that Soviet planes today flew over about 100 mllea of Chinese terri tory, following tho railway; from Pogranichanaya. They dropped bombs near the village of Mulin, with the appar ent objective of crippling the coal mines in that rexlon on which the Ichlnese depend for railway fuel. It was suggested at Mukden, ne said, that Russian activity waa shifted from the western front in the region of Manchuli to the tn th eaatera front durine the last few days because of the suc cess of Frengtien troops in hid ing the western sector and in with standing tentative pressure of Rus sian Infantry. He reported that there were 20, 000 Chinese troops in the Kirin area concentrated near Mulin and Pogranichanaya. The Russians were stated to have 3,000 men comprising half a a brigade from the Vladivostok garrison, concen trated before Pogranlchnaya with five airplanes and some crralry in support. Sir Percival said there was no fighting when the Russians cross ed the frontier last Saturday. They held Pogranlchnaya, eastern rail head of the-Chinese Eastern railway with important railway shops for several hrours during which they .considerably damaged railway and other buildings. The Chinese were said to be still occupying their old positions there this morning. PORTLANDER PICKED OTTUNWA, Iowa, Sept. 11 (AP) The Rev.
