Administration republi cans were placed in a greater pre dicament than ever In their ef forts to whip a tariff biU Into a form acceptable to the president. Already the conferees on the revision measure face a hard struggle on the flexible provisions which the senate eliminated, the president wants to continue In the new law- the power now enjoyed by the executive to raise or lower duties. So does a majority of the house, in the opinion of republi can leadees. Now that the debenture plan has been placed la the bill, the general consensus is for a tussle to the finish in conference. -Tl-C..-.. i 0MB HEAD SOVIET PLANE PASSES OVER PHATUM U Russian Aviators Fly Near Salem on Trip South To Oakland Thousands Cheer Welcome To Birdmen on Arrival At Airport PRATUMOct. 19 (Special) -An immense airplane recogniz ed as the "Land of the Soviets," on Its way from Vancouver, Wash., to Oakland, Cal., enronte from Russia to New York passed over this city at 9:20 o'clock this morning.

Thousands Cheer as Plane Taxies Into Place The plane was taxied to the ad ministration building amid cheers of thousands and the hymns of the Russian choir from San Fran cisco, and shouts in Russian of "long live the ..Soviet fliers" and "welcome to California." When the low-winged mono plane touched the ground the crowd broke the ropes, swept past the guards and rushed the plane, i Airport attendants said they had seen nothing like it since Col.

Taylor of Salem has jnst returned from a "rim trip" around the United States. In the Specs of a month he made the cir cuit of the U. S. A. by rail, stop ping . in many of the principal cities. In Washington he called on Senator McNary and on Jefferson Meyers of the shipping board. Meyers told Taylor that Oregon ought to return McNary to the senate, for his splendid service to the fanning Interests. About the best farming coun try he observed was the dairying section of New York state. There were signs of much prosperity there which were not apparent in other states. As good corn grows in Salem as anywhere else that he saw, was Mr. Taylor's com ment. He brought back with him a clipping from a Beaumont, Texas. paper, which described artificial drying of hay. Heat from coal fires driven by ventilating fans through the green hay dried it quickly regardless of the state of the weather. The artificial dry ing proposal was advanced by Arthur J. Mason, of Chicago, but tnere was nothing in the article to indicate that artificial drying of hay had passed Into the prac tical stage from the experimental.

That cry hasn't been heard In Salem for years, this city having been fortunate enough to escape any conflagration in which hu man life was seriously en dangered. Nevertheless, Salem's smoke eaters have a warm spot in their hearts for the kiddies, in demon stration of which they have launched plan this year to assist In promoting Christmas cheer among needy folk especially the boys and girls who might. without their help, find empty stockings on Christmas morn. The firemen have made arrange ments, through cooperation with the Elks, Boy Scouts and other organizations, to collect and re pair broken or discarded toys, turning them over to the Elks for distribution where they will do the most good. Persons who have toys which they are willing to part with are asked to get in touch with the firemen but be careful I They are asked not to call the down town fire station, because that would be virtually the same thing as turning in a false fire alarm. Collection of the toys will be handled through the East Salem fire station, and the telephone number is 81. C. V. Faulkner is In charge. The actual collection will be done by a group of Boy Scouts under the direction of Rex San- ford, scoutmaster. The city has been zoned, and when a call eomes in stating that boys anfiy be obtained at a certain address; the scout in that sone will call at the home and receive them. Paving Program Will Be Carried Through Rapidly Good weather the last few days has practically guaranteed the completion of this year's paving program in Salem, It was stated Saturday by Walter Low, street commissioner. The stretch of pav ing to be done on Broadway Is the only one in question. Paving was proceeding there Friday and Sat urday under difficulties, It being necessary to use plank in order to move the material. No paving was done Thursday on account of the rain Wednesday and that morning. The only other unit of paving remaining to be done is on North Front street, a stretch of seven blocks, but this is being prepared fof paving and will probably be completed, as soil conditions there are more favorable. LIOUQR RING SDU9H FIREMEN PROMOTE MAS ra OVERLAPPING SYSTEM EYED Principals Adopt Resolution At Annual Session in City Yesterday Investigation Also Ordered In Matter of Money Spent for Pins Investigation of the overlapping of subject matter in the various units of the Oregon school system, including the first two years In the institutions of higher learning was urged in a resolution adopted at the closing session of the state high school principals association here Saturday. - Another resolution provided for the appointment of a committee to study the problem of articulation of the units of the school system through which the pupils pro gressively pass from elementary grades through the Institutions of higher learning. A committee also was author ized to Investigate conditions in the high schools relative to the purchase of class rings and pins and the publication of so-called annuals. Affiliation Favored With National Group The association went on record favoring affiliation with the Na- i tional Education association. i The small high schools of Ore gon should be carefully scrutin ized and be permitted to exist only if they meet certain stan dards of efficiency, according to F. L. Stetson, chairman of the committee on the reorganization of small high schools. Mr. Stet son's report resulted in consider able opposition but was approved. Special objection was voiced to the requirement that the small one, two and three teacher high schools be limited as to the sub jects they might be permitted to offer. i The association adopted the re-; port of F. S. Knight in which he recommended a uniform marking system for the high schools of the state. In-addition to the stan dards for the larger high schools established by the Northwest as sociation of secondary and higher schools, six additional standards will be added for the Oregon high schools, according to a report pre sented by a committee of which Norman C. Thorpe is chairman. Mrs. Virginia Bacon, state li brarian, discussed the activities of the state library, followed by discussion of new college en trance requirements by E. B. Lem on of the Oregon state college and Earl M. Pallett of the University of Oregon. Class size and effi ciency was discussed by E. D. Towler. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. (AP) Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations commit tee and Senator Robinson, of Ar kansas, the democratic leader, are believed at the Capitol to be the best choices of President Hoo ver to represent the senate on the delegation to the London arms conference. These two senators as weU as Senator Watson, of Indiana, the republican leader, were called to the White House this week coinci dent with the president's prepara tions for the naval parley. There is considersble doubt, however, as to the availability of Senator Borah who, the administration re alises,' has been averse to leaving this country at any time. Mr. Hoover Is not expected to announce his senatorial selections for the delegation until after his return from the mid-western trip on which he starts tomorrow. In the event he looks for another than Senator Borah as the repub lican representative, those men tioned In this connection are Wat son. Senators Reed, of Pennsyl vania; Hale, of Maine, and Moses, of New Hampshire. - Glider Record of More Than Hour Set by Bowlus SAN DIEGO, Cal., Oct. 19. (AP) W. H.

'S IS John McGouldrick Indicted After Adventuress Tells Story POINTE A LA HACHE, La.. Oct. 19. (AP) John McGoui- kdrick, second officer of the steam ship Creole, Was indicted late to day by the Plaquemines Parish grand jury for the murder of Jack Kraft, New York newspaper em ploye and. adventurer. Miss lone Ord, companion of Kraft, and Sam Epstein, steamship steward, were ordered held as material witness es without bail. After hearing the evidence, the grand jury, composed of natives of the lower coast, deliberated only fifteen minutes before hand ing down the indictment. District Attorney Leander Per- ex of Plaquemines Parish, request ed a warrant charging McGoul drick with murder. Earlier he had telegraphed New York police to arrest McGouldick when the New York-New Orleans steamship Creole docks there. Monday. Counsel for Epstein sought to get his client released on bail, but the court ordered him held until Thursday, when a hearing on bail will be held. Miss Ord, artist companion of Kraft on a wandering trip, was brought back to New Orleans, where she will be held in jail un til women's quarters can be con structed in this river village. Her story, told to the grand jury behind guarded, doors. brought the indictment against the second officer whom she said she "loved" but who had acted "like a ead" in going off and leav ing her in jail. Thielsen is Named Upon Zoning Body Fred D. Thielsen, local business man whose residence is a short distance outside the city on the Jefferson road, has been appoint ed to membership on the city planning and zoning commission, succeeding A. L. Headrick, who died recently. The appointment was made by Mayor Livesley, and bears the date October 15, but was not made public until Satur day. The planning and zoning com mission has jurisdiction under the state law, extending six miles out side the eity limits, and the local ordinance provides for the ap pointment of not more than two members living in this area: Prior to Mr. Thielsen's appointment, all of the members lived within the city. Strangely, the commission has greater powers outside the city than it has inside. Its acts with respect to improvements in the city axe merely recommendations to the council; but It has full pow er to approve or disapprove plats of new additions in the six mile radius outside the city. .
