Conference Slated Today to
Determine Action; Bonds
Are' Declared Valid
Appeal to Federal Courts
May be Denied, Belief
Of Attorneys Here
Mayor Douglas McKay, City
Attorney Chris Kowitz and a
number ot councilmen were plan
ning an informal conference here
today to determine the next step
in the city's long quest for muni
cipal ownership and operation of j
a water plant in Salem.
The conference was arranged
following a decision Tuesday by
the state supreme court which
upheld the validity of the char
ter amendment voted December
15, 1931, wherein voters of Sa
lem empowered the city to pur
chase or to build a water plant
here and to extend it to th little
north fork of the North Santiam
river.
The court's decision marked a
closing stage in litigation which
has dogged the steps of munici
pal ownership here since the is
sue first was affirmatively pass
ed upon by Salem voters in May,
1930. That election's results
were subsequently thrown out by
the courts. Demurrer to the pro
cedure of the subsequent elec
tion in 1931, was upheld in cir
cuit court here by Judge L. G.
Lewelling and it was not until
the higher court yesterday over
ruled the local jurist that the is
sue appeared on its way to con
clusion. Appeal to Federal
Court May Be Denied
Walter E. Keyes, one of the
attorneys for the defense, indi
cated yesterday he would prob
ably seek a rehearing before the
supreme court, and in event the
Oregon - Washington Water Ser
vice company, his client, did not
then prevail, Keyes . indicated he
might try to get the case into
federal court or before the Uni
ted States supreme court.
City Attorney Kowitz .said he
thought there was little chance
for either move to succeed. He
pointed out that the Oregon court
had said there was no federal Is
sue at stake and that consequent
ly he did not think either the
federal court in Portland or the
United States supreme court
would accept the cSse.
In the conference today, city
officials will consider methods to
be followed in acquiring the
plant here, assuming that the
higher court's opinion on the
bonds stands. It is expected some
plan for negotiating with the
Oregon - Washington Water Ser
vice company will be agreed
upon.
Will Attach Opinion
To. Loan Application
Kowitz said yesterday the opin
ion of the court on the bonds
would be incorporated with the
application to the R. F. corpora
tion recently prepared by the
council. This will be sent east
shortly in an effort to secure $2,
000,000 on Salem's bonds to buy
and to extend the plant here.
City officials did not think yes
terday the pendency of this ap
plication needed to hold back the
city's proceedings to negotiate
for the plant here, the latest ap
praised value of which ia $695,
000. Justice George Rossman wrote
the opinion upholding the valid
ity of the 12.500.000 bond au
thorization charter amendment
Justice Campbell concurred in
the! opinion and Justice Bailey In
the result. Justices Kelly and

barracks, but at latest report the
army fliers had met with no more
success than had 10 commercial
fliers who searched for three days
over an area extending from Med
ford to Portland.
Young landed a passenger at
Medford at 11:20 p.m. Friday,
and took off for Portland half an
hour later. He has not been seen
or heard from since.
Reports of persons living along
the route that they had heard an
airplane at progressive intervals
would indicate, the searchers said,
that Young flew north past Rose
burg, over Mill City, and finally
over Sherwood, near McMinnville.
The search centered out of Rose
burg Saturday, out of Salem Sun
day and out of Portland yesterday
and today. The army planes, each
carrying a pilot and an observer,
flew for three hours today over a
large area south of Mill City and
east to the foothills of the Cas
cade range. Then later covered the
section north of Mill City. Lieu
tenant Paul Burrows, new com
mandant of Pearson field, receiv
ed permission today from Major
General Walin Craig at SanFran

tenant Burrows said the army
planes will resume the seach to
morrow.

With Plea for Food and
Money; Talks Made
Faced with a blunt refusal of
the county court to deal with the
"committee of 60" on relief Ques
tions, leaders of the unemployed
council's delegation on the court
house grounds last night declar
ed the committee would remain
encamped there "until we get de
cent relief." They said they had
no definite plan of action for to
day but would bold a meeting on
the lawn at 3 p.m. today to decide
on their next step, which might
be a march to the statehouse.
At a late hour last night the
committee's representation had
dwindled to around 30, who de
clared they would sleep on the
gounds. and set about preparing
beds with quilts under and around
one of the trees. Fifty or more
were on hand the night before.
The county court notified the
unemployed committee yesterday
that it would give audience to
its leader, O. H. Goss, or some
other one representative, but re
fused to accede to the commit
teemen's demand that they all be
admitted. Messages between the
court and committee were relay
ed by Sheriff A. C. Burk.
Committee Demands

One of the committee's de
mands was painted on a sign
leaning against the courthouse
steps "Free Farar." Max Far-

Seeking public sympathy with
their demands, committees from
the unemployed council yester
day were sent about the resi
dence districts asking for food
and money to aid their members.
Handbills they distributed bore
the caption, "Relief cut offl
Shall the unemployed starve?
The unemployed council say
not!" "Temporary headquarters"
were listed as "courthouse lawn."
City officials, police and sher
iff's men yesterday were inclined
to disregard the courthouse en

arise. Leaders of the unemployed
council have urged their mem
bers to conduct themselves in or

Economic Parley
(By the Associated Press)
An economic message sped to
day from the tumbling sea off the
New England coast to the clois
tered meeting place of the world
economic conference in London.
It was given to Raymond Mo
ley, assistant secretary of state,
by President Roosevelt In a brief
meeting aboard the presidential
vacation schooner.
Upon it depended to some de
gree, as yet undetermined, the
course to be taken by the Ameri
can delegation to the conference.
The departure of Moley for Lon
don was made at a time when
French officials at the conference
were laying plans for proposing
adjournment of the meeting.
A demand was rising also from
the European gold bloc for a
showdown on stabilization of the
dollar.
The American government, aft
er turning down one tentative sta
bilization proposal, was holding
to a determination to allow the
dollar to move unaided abroad,
seeking its own level without arti
ficial stimulation, while the do
