DRASTIC SLASH
HI
HOOVER'S PLEA
Policy Pronounced as Move
For Economic Recovery;
France is Critical
Other Nations Applaud and
Support at Washington
Appears Widespread
WASHINGTON, June 22
(AP) In an unheralded more
toward International economic re
covery,; President Hoover today
called for a one-third reduction in
world armaments. This, he said,
would save the world $10,000.
000.000 to $15,000,000,000 in the
next decade. The possible saving
to this nation was estimated at
$2,000,000,000,
The president's proposal one
of the most drastic arms slashes
yet fathered by any nation was
delivered almost simultaneously
to the Geneva arms parley and.
to newspaper correspondents call
ed early today to the White
House.
It stirred through the world
an avalanche of comment, includ
ing vigorous French criticism to
gether with Indications that na
tion might reject the proposal.
From Great. Britain, Italy and
Germany, - however, came appro
bation In varying degrees.
France Declared
In General Accord
Later, however. It was said by
a high authority that assurances
had been received from the
French government that it would
work for the success of the plan.
The official added that the Brit
ish government as well as Ger
many had promised support of
the proposals and that the Italian
government approved of them
both In detail and principle.
Meanwhile on capital hill un
qualified praise was voiced gen
erally by republican leaders while
the democratic comment mixed
approval with criticism.
Secretary Stimson stood by the
chief executive's side as Mr.
Hoover counted off slowly j"nd
quietly, but with emphasis, , a
series of principles he said "would i
right the world's "folly" of 1
breaking Its back over military
expenditures."
Abolishing Tanks,
Ilia: Guns, Gas Urged
Specifically, : the president pro
posed abolition of all tanks,
chemical warfare and large mo
bile guns; reduction of land ar
mies by one-third above the "po
lice component"; abolition of all
bombing planes; and a slash of
between 25 and 33 per cenj in all
naval tonnage.
The fire guiding principles ha
enunciated called for recognition
of the Kellogg-Briand pact as
banning the use of arms except
for defense, maintenance of the
present relativity of armament In
making redactions, a recognition
of the factor of economic relief,
and the unbroken relation of
land, air and naval forces In mak
ing reductions.
Chairman Borah, of the senate
foreign relations committee, said
the plan seemed "fair and sound"
and expressed the hope it would
force the conference to realize the
consequences of a failure to dis
arm. city mm sun

The long day's" session brought
decisions, however, on two of the
most .controversial issues in the
Din, ana left only comparatively
minor amendments to be acted
upon.
By a vote of 57 to 19, the sea-
ate approved the $500,000,000
public works bond issue section
of the bill despite a hint from
Senator Moses (R-. N. H.), that
it would bring a White House
veto.
Several hours later an amend
ment by Senator La Follette, (R.,
Wis.), to increase the bond issue
to $5,500,000,000 was rejected
5$ to 12.
An amendment to provide for
loans to permit Chicago to pay Its
teachers and other employes was
rejected despite a warning from
Senator Glenn, (R., III.), that it
would leave the city without po
licemen to "cope with the rising
spirit of riot and revolution that

Chairman of State 6. 0. P.
Says President Aged
20 Years in 4
President Herbert Hoover ap-
nears fully 20 years older today
than four years ago when he fish
ed on the Rogue before his elec
tion. He is wrinkled, grey and
appears vastly tired, Floyd Cook,
chairman of the state central com
mlttee, commented yesterday
while visiting friends in Salem al
ter returning from the Chicago
convention and a visit to the cap
ital.
"But Hoover is going to be re
elected," opined Cook. "He has
done a wonderful Job in guiding
the country through its economic
woes. The president works con
stantly, from., early morning until
late at night. Nothing distracts
him from the job at hand."
Cook observed that Hoover is
not popular with old-line politl
clans because he' does not play
their game and is not politic in
his answers to their proposals
"The president is direct and inci
sive and does not hedge," the
state chairman' stated.

Transportation seems to be the

shortage in berry pickers. Prac
tically all unemployed persons
having transportation are at
work. Assistant Manager D. D.
Dotson of the TJ. S.-Y. M. C. A.
Employment office said yester
day. Toward the close of office hours
yesterday, Dotson still had calls
for work at which he could place
around 100 pickers. If the farm
ers would furnish transportation,
they could get enough pickers,
he said. Two farmers hauled away
two truckloads of pickers in the
morning.
Cherry picking is starting
slowly. Only a dozen pickers have
been sent out from the employ
ment office thus far. Wages are
three-fourths cent a pound.

Many More Missing ; Quake

At Mexican Ports
Conditions are. Pitiful; Panic
Hampers Relief Work;
Towns Destroyed
MEXICO CITY. June 22 (AP)
At least 20 persons were killed
and many more missing were
feared dead in a tidal wave that
virtually wiped out the town of
Cuyutlan, on the west coast of
Mexico, after an earthquake to
day. A great number of persons were
reported Injured.
The coast along that section.
severely shaken rcently by a ser
ies of earthquakes, was swept by
the tidal wave, with heavy dam
age to property. It was feared
many persons may have been
washed into the sea.
Manzanillo, the largest city
struck by the tidal wave, reported
neavy damage, but no dead. The
blow was felt less severely there
because of harbor breakwaters.
The port of Colima, in which state
the brunt of the disaster fell al
so was damaged.
The mayor of Cuyutlan, a re
sort town in the state of Colima.
appealed to federal authorities
here for immediate relief, describ
ing conditions as pitiful.
Many are Believed
.Carried Out to Sea
He reported many missing and
said some of these had been car
ried out to sea or buried in sand
on the beach.
, The injured were sent to the
city of Colima as rapidly aa possi
ble, but the mayor said lack of
federal soldiers and panic among
the people made it Impossible to
organize relief work efficiently.
He asked that soldiers and doctors
be rushed In as quickly as possi
ble. Every dwelling in the town was
destroyed, with only a few busi
ness buildings left standing, the
mayor said.
The first earthquake was at
7:10 a. m., followed by light
quakes until 7:30 a. m., when a
heavy shock lasting one minute
occurred. It was immediately fol
lowed by a tremendous wave
which swept In from the sea and
over the town, carrying smaller
buildings back into the sea.
