Short hop to Place Where
Permanent Repairs can
Be Made, his Plan
MOSCOW, June 0 (AP)
Jimmle Mattern landed at Kras
noyarsk, j Siberia, early today,
completing the sixth f leg of his
world-circuit flight by n 185
mile hop from Belovo, Siberia.
MOSCOW. June 9 (Friday)
(AP) Jimmy Mattern took off
from BeloTo, Siberia, for Krasno
yarsk at 4:10 a.m., Friday, Mos
cow time (8:10 p.m. Thursday
eastern standard time).
The American aviator, who
seeks a round-the-world record,
had arrived at that little settle
ment near Prokopievsk early Wed
nesday (eastern standard time)
nauseated by fumes fom a leaking
gas line.
Apparently the Texan had re
covered from the sickness, since
he had told the Associated Press
correspondent here that his take
off on the. next leg of his race
would be deferred until he was en
tirely well. At Krasnoyarsk, he
said, damage to his plane suffer
ed in the emergency landing, will
be permanently repaired.
Since Krasnoyarsk is only about
185 miles from Belovo, the avia
tor should have reached' there
' within an hour or two, provided
he encountered no further diffi
culty. Slow means of communication,
however, made it impossible to
learn at once of his progress.
There is no telephone as far as
Krasnoyarsk, and further word
of is flight would have to be
brought by telegraph, at best very
tardy.
The weather was fair and wind
less when Mattern took off, but
there were prediction hewrmld
encounter clouds and a north
wind in the vicinity of Krasno
yarsk. (Copyright, 1933, The
Associated Press
MOSCOW, June 8 Sick and al
most unconscious through breath
ing gasoline fumes which escaped
through a leaking gas line, James
Mattern, American flier, was forc
ed to land near Prokopievsk, Si
beria, yesterday on his round-the-world
solo aerial Jotfrney, he in
formed the Associated Press to
day In a long distance telephone
interview.
Tb flying Texan came down at
10 a. m. Moscow time (2 a. m.
Eastern Standard time), a few
hours after be had left Omsk on
the fifth lap of his flight in at
tempting ' to beat the record set
by Wiley Post and Harold Gatty
in 1931.
"I ami still sick frdm those
fumes," Mattern said In explain
ing how motor trouble caused his
unscheduled landing.
"I can't hold any food on my
stomach, but I expect to get off
for Krasnoyarsk in five or 10
hours.
"I was four hours out of Omsk
when I discovered a leak in the
fuel line, and tr the time I found
out what the trouble was I was
In bad shape from the fumes."
When he alighted on a small
emergency landing field at Belovo
he was almost unconscious, the
American, aviator said.
"When I landed I broke my
stabilizer and I eannet make per
manent repairs here.
"They have helped me as much
as they can here, however, and
shall be able to get off from here
with temporary repairs within a
few hour and run into Kransnoy
arsk, where there are facilities for
fixing the stabilizer. ,
E BALK AT
iff TREATY PLAN
GENEVA, June 8 (AP)
Japan threw the disarmament
conference into confusion today
by assailing the London, naval
treaty as a provoker of Interna
tional apprehensions and refusing
to renounce bombardment from
the air until aircraft carriers
ihould be abolished.
In this uncertain atmosphere
the formal discussions of arms
limitation and reduction were ad
loomed until July 3.
The attack on the naval accord,
reached In London In 1930 by the
United States. Great Britain and
Japan, drew sharp protest from
the American and British dele
gate and, from Arthur Hender
son, president of the Geneva par
ley and British foreign secretary,
when the agreement . was eon
eluded. : '
Hugh R. Wilson, American
spokesman, also appealed ear
nestly but In vain to the Tokyo
delegate, a Mr. Haotake Sato, to
reconsider his stand against pro
hibition of aerial bombing as long
as other ; great power posses
warships which provide : landing
and launching deck for aircraft.

Here is the plane "Seafarer;" in
which Captain and Mrs. James
Mollison, both world-famous
British fliers hoped to make the
greatest flight of their joint ca
reers. Tne plane is pictured at
Staglane Aerodrome, near Lon

for Xew York on a flight later
to be extended to Bagdad, Per

the plane crashed at the take-,

at least a week.
Beer Being
Sold Before
Law.Changes
Defying the fact the new liquor
ordinance does not go into effect
until June 15, several Salem res
taurants and confectioneries are
now selling 3.2 beer, some of
them openly, others under cover,
check of business places licensed
by the federal government reveal
ed yesterday. No draught beer was
being sold but Pacific coast, mid-.
west and New York Dottiea gooas
was offered at 20 cents per.
Asked if the present liquor or
dinance, which forbids the sale
f beer, was to be enforced wnue
it remained in effect, Chief of Po
lice Minto declared that it was,
but gave no indication he would
wage any drive upon the present
illegal venders of three-point-two.
Observers reported that obtain
ing beer from certain restaurants
and billiard-lunch rooms was
similar to patronizing speakeasies
the purchaser had to be iden
tified and convince the vender
that he was "okeh."

WASHINGTON, June 8 (AP)
President Roosevelt today nom
inated three Oregon men for fed
eral positions. He named James
W. Maloney of Pendleton to be
collector of Internal revenue for
Oregon; Russell C. Hawkins of
Portland to be a member of the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion, and George F. Alexander of
Portland to be judge, division
number one, for Alaska.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 8
(AP) Announcement today from
Washington, D. C, of the nomin
ations ot three Oregon men to
responsible posts In the new na
tional administration did not
come as a complete surprise here,
although some said the nomina
tion of Russell Hawkins, Oregon
republican, as a member of the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion was not generally predicted.
Maloney, Pendleton banker and
stockman, was the democratic
nominee for state treasurer In the
last election. His nomination as
collector of internal revenue for
Oregon was expected.
George F. Alexander, Portland
attorney, was nominated for a
judgeship In Alaska. The nomin
ation had been predicted. He was
United States marshal for Ore
gon during the Wilson administra
tion, and his father was a mem
ber ot the Wilson cabinet.
Hawkins, who for years handl
ed affairs of large lumber opera
tors In Oregon, was chairman of
the Oregon republican delegation
to the national convention in Chi
cago last year.

Harry Parker, principal of Cor

was his feeling that the decision
should be left with the hoard of
higher education and the Oregon
State High School Athletic as
sociation as to whether or not the
annual state high school basket

He said that if the state assoc

tion, authorized yesterday by the
board of higher education at its
Portland meeting, the local high
school would cooperate to the
fullest extent to make the state
prep court meet a success.
Parker suggested that for some
of the smaller high schools which
have objected that they do not get

league in this state for class A

1320 men Asked tO RepOft
To Foremen; 600 Less
Than Last Month
Marion county will open its
June road relief next week with
a drastically curtailed program
both in the number of men em
ployed and in the number of days'
work given, it was announced
yesterday. Orders to report to
their foremen for Instructions
were mailed from the U. S.-Y. M.
C. A. Employment bureau to 1320
men, approximately 600 less than
appeared on the May relief list.
Regardless of the amount of re
lief work provided last month, the
foremen are instructed to insure
first that each of the 1320 men
during June receive three days'
employment at the regular wage,
1 in grocery requisitions and 50
cents in cash. It it is found the
$10,000 R. F. C. relief fund the
county is allotted for June will so
permit, the more needy men with
dependents will be given addition
al work. As hh as 12 days'
work on the roads was given
many men during May.
, Red Cross and employment
workers during the past week
have checked the May list of some
1900 unemployed men and elim
inated the (00, of whom some
have left the county, others ob
tained regular employment and
still others failed to report tor
work last month.
Relief officials hope to see the
list of unemployed men in the
county reduced still further be
fore the end of the month, with
hop yard, orchard and berry field
employment coming on. The ber
ry situation, however, which for
a time last year called for more
men than were available, will far
from relieve this year's unem
ployment because of the reduced
crop occasioned by the winter
freeze.
IOERINS' RELIEF
WASHINGTON. June 8 (AP)
Tension over the veterans' com
pensation dispute was eased con
siderably tonight as house dem
ocratic leaders hopefully regard
ed a program of allowances sub
mitted late today by President
Roosevelt.
The Roosevelt plan was not re
leased pending study of it by the
house democratic steering com
mittee. It was looked upon at the
White House as not compromis
ing the principle of confining gov
ernment aid to directly service
connected cases.
The proposal was understood to
allow payments ranging from I
to $90 a month for ordinary ser
vice connected disabilities and as
high as $250 a month In extraor
dlnary cases.
If agreed upon, the program
will be brought Into the house un
der procedure which will prevent
a direct vote on the senate amend
ment and which will also preclude
a roll call on a proposal to limit
the reductions in veterans allow
ances to 15 per cent. Instead of
the 25 per cent limit voted by
the senate.
