Reconstruction Question; is
; Retained in Agenda of '
' ; World Conference " ;
By ALVIN, HALLMAN
LONDON, July 7. (AP) '
fFresh from -saving thelife of the
International- parley, the Ameri
can delegation at the world econ
omle conference waged a strong
fight today - to retain monetary
and related matters on the agen
da, won a Tictory in one sector
and was rebuffed by a small mar
gin In another. ..j ;
The . action took place In a
committee of the econolmc com
mission and a sub-group of the
monetary division..
In the former, the eommittee on
-commercial policy, -a -proposal to
continue discussion of tariffs and
quotas was voted down eight to
seven. France and her gold allies
there joined hands to turn hack
the United States. Great Britain
and others.
The American victory was in
the sub-committee of the mone
tary commission dealing with im
mediate measures for financial re
construction. There, after hours
of debate, the members voted 25
to 15 to contlnV discussions of
every phase of the agenda.
These developments came dur
ing a day which also saw:
Senator James Couzens of Mich
igan urge continuance of endea
vors along lines which would re
turn 30,000,000 persons to work;
A disclosure that American
headquarters is drafting a resolu
tion .seeking world-wide coopera
tion In increasing wages, shorten
ing hours of work and raising ag
ricultural prices; and;
Bewilderment in French cir
cles concerning international fi
nances, with a partial breaking of
Great Britain with the gold group,
a. drop in the - Brftlslr pound" on
the French market and slumps in
American and Canadian dollars. -
Highest American quarters ex
pressed satisfaction with the prog
ress made and were firm in the
belief that the day's single reverse
would be overruled when the bu
reau (steering committee) meets
Monday to consider the reports
of the sub-committee.

Gains of $551,000 in deposits
since the end of 1932 were report
ed by the two fully operating
banks while gains in cash in the
assets of the two banks totalled
$787,898. Much of this increase,
bankers pointed out, being due to
price Increases of the last 90 days
and especially to the boom mar

new money into Salem and result
ed in heavy liquidation ot bank
loans. ' 1
The eurrent reports show that
the two operating banks have
gained back much of the deposit

institutions held $8,638,685, com

FOR FATAL CRASH
Manslaughter Charge FaCeS
Driver, Aftermath of
July 1 Accident
An indictment of Involuntary
manslaughter was returned
against N. J. Warren here late
Friday by the Marlon county
grand Jury. Charges grew out of
an accident on the Pacific high
way near Hubbard on July 1 in
which Donald Sucevich, 12, of
Oregon City, received Injuries
which resulted in his death
July 2.
Warren was held by the grand
Jurors to have been driving while
intoxicated. Warren's ball was
set at $1500 and he furnished it.
The accident occurred when
Warren, driving uncertainly ac
cording to the grand Jury report,
swerved into the parked car of
Adolph Hensel. Warren had pick
ed, up young Sucevich in Ore
gon City and had agreed . with
the lad's father to take him to
a ' farm home In the country
south of his home. The boy ask
ed Warren to stop or to turn off,'
it was told the Jury, but Warren
kept on driving south.
The indictment is the second
one for Involuntary manslaugh
ter on charges of drunken driv
ing issued In Marion county In
the last 30 days.

' Officials of the City of Salem
and ,of. Marlon county have re
ceived notice this week that ef-
feetive July 16 local ' banks will
pay only one-half of one per cent
interest on commercial deposits
received from the city and the
county. For many years hereto-

lpallty and the county.
Official notice from the banks
cites the recently enacted Glass-
SteagaU hanking law which for
bids payment on commercial de
posits "with certain exceptions."
These include payment where spe
cified by state law. The present
Oregon code provides for two per
cent on state deposits but the
1933 session or the legislature
made it possible for banks to bid
for county and city deposits at
lower rates or to pay no interest
u it was deemed wise.
Bankers in making the 75 per

point to the fact that they are no
longer able to receive interest on
their own deposits with city banks
and thus their source of income is
diminished. '
The. ' interest reduction falls
heavily on the Income to the

The message, barren
message, barren of de-

It said only that Mattern was
safe at Anadir, a village along
the route he bad manned fret

which he had taken off June 14.
' The terse dispatch set into mo

who bad left New York a month

first man to fly arqund the world

Final preparations, however,
were held in abeyance until the
