Dec. 26 API The attitude of the United States on the reduction of war debts will be 1 the determining factor in the forthcoming international repara tions conference, it was said In international circles tonight. The French cabinet meeting scheduled for today was postpon- ed in order that Premier Pierre Laval and his colleagues might have more time to consider the position France win adopt at tne conference. It was confidently be lieved here the meeting will be held January 18 at The Hague. The cabinet will get together next week. The outstanding single devel- ! opment in the reparations discus sion was a statement by Senator William E. Borah that the treaty of Versailles should be revised and Germany's burdens lightened. The nationalist press declared this statement should be consider ed as an expression of the opinion of German-American finance. DEATH CASE UPSET CINCINNATI.

At Marcola and Wendling the wind bowled orer light poles and disrupted service. High tides were reported off the Lane county coat. The Wil lamette river was rising. GATEWAY, Ore.. Dec. J (AP) A heavy wind and dast storm struck this part of the state today. The wind tended to evaporate what little moisture the ground held. Salem and vicinity were more fortunate Saturday than other districts in the northwest, the ex treme severity of the day's storm tailing to strike here although rain fell in sheets at times and a strong, cold wind made outdoor strolls uncomfortable and bother ed motorists, who found it neces sary to make allowance for the gJ In steering their machines. Both the telephone company and the power company reported some trouble but scarcely more than usual OREGON NO PLACE FOR LAWBREAKER State Police are Making Life Miserable for Various Types of Criminals "The drunken driver probably is the most serious menace in the state of Oregon at the present time," according to the declara tion of Superintendent Charles T. Pray of the state police, who has announced that this problem ia re ceiving special attention from the 129 field operatives of his depart ment. "He is a potential murderer and has little, if any regard, for the rights of others. It is the in tention of the state police depart ment to do everything possible to stamp out this menace and make the highways safe for the travel ing public," the police head ad ded. Pray said the state police had received cooperation from the courts, and that virtually all of the county and city police officers had joined in the crusade against the drunken driver. "If the sober public will do its part," Pray continued, "there is no reason why the irresponsible driver cannot be subdued and ejected from the highways." Police Have Made Notable Record Although organised only last August, the state police depart ment already has to its credit large number ol important cap tures which, are classified in the criminal records as major activi ties. Probably one of the most out standing crimes to receive the prompt attention of the state po lice department was the Aurora bank robbery a few months ago Louis Bruggman, driver of the au tomoblle in which the robbers es caped from the scene of the crime, was arrested within less than an hour after the holdup had been reported. Frank Farley and Ed ward Seigmund, two other mem bers of the trio, were taken into custody by the following night. When questioned later by Pray the three men admitted their guilt and were taken into the cir cult court here for sentence. Each man was sentenced to serve term of 10 years in the Oregon state penitentiary. A part ot the $1500 taken from the bank was recovered. The state police also deserve full credit for ferreting out the murder of Joe Blessing, sheep herder, who was employed on a ranch in Grant county. Blessing was reported missing from his usual haunts a few months ago, and Captain Lee Moe of the state police was assigned to conduct an investigation. Without a clew, other than the report that Bless ing was last seen with Edward McLaughlin, the officer launched his probe. Confession Gained From McLaughlin Within less than two weeks Mc- DR. B. H.

Fas S3M Laughlln was under arrest and had admitted that he had killed his fellow sheep herder as the re suit of some minor grievance. Ashes of Blessing's body, which McLaughlin had attempted to burn, were found buried on a ranch some distance from where Blessing waa previously employed. McLaughlin subsequently pleaded guilty to murder In the Grant county circuit court and was sen tenced to a life term in the Ore gon state penitentiary. The state police also organised and directed the posse which re-, cently captured Keith Crosswyth and John Owens, who are being held in the Union county jail on an open charge. Crosswyth , and Owens were alleged to have ahot and wounded Amoa L. Helms, a member of the state police, when he accosted them at a LaGrande service station in connection with holdup at Twin Palls, Idaho. Captain Noe was with Helms at the time of the shooting. Helms was rushed to a hospital at La- Grande, where he has since been in a serious condition. Crosswyth and Owens succeed ed in eluding Noe, but later were captured by the state police and other officers in a timbered dis trict some distance from La- Grande. In case Helms dies the men will be charged with first degree murder. Pray declared. Service Station Robber Captured Still another capture in which the state police made history was that ot B. O. James, charged with holding up the proprietor of a Sa lem gasoline station. The holdup occurred at 9 p. nr., and a report later was sent to the state and city police. Within five minutes after the report was received. Powell Clayton, state police offi cer, and George Edwards, city op erative, were in pursuit of the robber. Following the exchange of several shots James was arrest- ed on a slue road near Albany. He is now serving a lerm 01 10 years in toe state penitentiary for his crime. The state police are now at work in an effort to identify the persons who last May shot and killed James Iverson, night police officer at Silverton. Joseph R. Ripley, now serving a term of from one to ten years in the state reformatory at Monroe, Wash., has confessed that he was one of three men involved in the murder. His confession was obtained by F. E. Dodele, sergeant of the state police, and Sam Burkhart, deputy sheriff of Marion county. Ripley implicated Paul Krier and Rich ard Hyland in his confession, and thw. mmn aw KfRr KM i the Marion countv 1.11 on . ehre- nf hnrriarv Livestock Thefts Receive Attention ' ' Prav also said that his deoart- n0nt w.. riTin .fAnH. to Hveitoek thefts nd that t i.i-a nnmw nr v,.4 Kun arrentMt and nrnuoit for themm ntfiMtua rwhar imfwni-at nR. .r th. .tmtM ioint enforcement of the traffie law. prohibition law infractions and nthr pHminti .tr.itfnn.

Niles was toanea 10 me state ponce for a period of six months. In addition to giving increased efficiency, officials said the state police department would result in an actual financial saving to the taxpayers. The state police de- partment has absorbed the law enforcement branches of the state fire marshal, state traffic depart - ment, state traffic division and state game and fish commissions. While the operatives of the de partment are highly specialized in their various lines, they are au- thonzed and instructed to enforce all laws. Baronet to Quit Job in Elevator WATERLOO, Iowa.

Sought to Bnfkl World Confidence First, ho sought to relieve a world crisis arising from loss of confidence and the pressure ot In ternational obligations. The bur den of reparations was breaking the back ot Germany. Her credi tors in turn owed great sums to the United. States la war debts. and smaller sums one to the oth er. Altogether, the amount of such obligations about to fall da was some S0,OOt,00. Second, the president proposed to give Europe a year In which to adopt a program for united action to end the depression and restore confidence and stability. Today Europe still is divided and distressed. It is hoped, none too confidently, that before the year is out, the projected conference or some other negotiation will pro duce a constructive program American officials have stated repeatedly that the problems now troubling European statesmen are almost completely European.
