Vigorous Mention of Force
Noted in . Peace Talks
By Premier, Aide
Will Refuse Direct Parjey
With Germany, Foreign
Minister Asserts
PARIS, Not. 14. (ff) In two
overwhelming votes of confidence
the chamber of deputies stood
firmly behind the Sarraut govern
ment 'tonight making it emphati
cally clear that France will bow
to the dictates of no one.
Premier Albert Sarraut bluntly
told the deputies that "Prance
has a moral, material and-mili
tary force that forbids anyone to
dictate to her."
This stand on Chancellor Adolf
Hitler's nationalistic foreign pol
icy brought Sarraut a sweeping
Tote of confidence, 545 to .11.
Foreign Minister-Joseph Panl-
Boncour flatly refused to settle
the Franco - German differences
outside the . League of Nations,
thereby spiking rumors of the pos
sibility of direct, extra-league con
rersations with Chancellor Hitler.
This stand on the gorernment's
policy of "supervised and guaran
teed disarmament" drew resound
ing approval in a rote of 385 to
194.
Before the. rotes of confidence
were taken, both the premier and
his foreign minister talked of
"peace," but they backed their
words with rigorous and frequent
mention of the word "force."
Speaking of the horrors of war.
Premier Sarraut said he wished
to "reassure mothers" that "forty
millions of the French are cool
and calm and know no fear."
"But," he said with sharp em
phasis, "France is not disposed to
make a panicky peace. She will
not concede what she should not
concede.", .'. " . -
The. premier declared b ere
would be no preventive war" and
asked Germany:
- "Why rearm? Why increase the
military force in an exhausted
country until it is no longer any
thing but a skeleton in armor?
The German policy would mean an
armaments race."
M. Panl-Boncour acknowledged
his fear of war with Germany and
refused to consider any arrange-
- ment for a direct settlement.
Delbert Mchr, 17, who recently
confessed to nine burglaries here,
yesterday pleaded guilty and was
sentenced by Judge L. H. MeMa
han to serve a term of six months

with burglary, was sentenced to

Increasing Interest Rate
Is Favored by County
Courts at Session
PORTLAND, Ore.. Nov. 14. (P)
The problem of tax delinquen
cies occupied a major share of the
attention of county Judges and
county commissioners at today's
session of their 28 th annual con
vention here.
Before considering this prob
lem, the delegates heard Raymond
B. Wilcox explain the aims and
problems of the state relief com
mission of which he is chairman.
The Importance to the state re
1 1 e f organization of conserving
within the state all funds that
should arise from the state-controlled
sale of liquor was stressed
by Wilcox.
One of the resolutions present
ed to the delegates would recom
mend that legislation be enacted
by the special session of the legis
lature either to increase the pres
ent rate of interest on delinquent
taxes or to impose a penalty for
the non-payment of taxes when
due.
The Judges and commissioners
unanimously adopted a resolution
that the legislature pass over Gov
ernor Meier's veto senate bill No.
194, passed at the last session of
the legislature, providing, that
counties should not be required to
pay for the care of the non-violent
insane in the state hospitals. Un
der the present law a county is re
quired to pay $20 a month for
each non-violent insane patient in
the state institutions.
Another resolution passed bv
the delegates asks the legislature
at its special session to amend
the present law, providing' that all
tax levies made by the state on
real and personal property must
be remitted to the state treasurer
in full by the counties, in such a
matter that the state should re-
celve only its proportionate
amount of the taxes collected.

IS RELIEF WORDY

government regulations, checked
up through Red Cross agencies
with the families' stories of their

with a place to sleep. -
Under the new relief regula

During the past week a con

, Reports that Brooke Hart,
guposedly kidnaped son of a
wealthy San Jose family, had
been seen in various parts of the
state, today entered the investi
gation of his mysterious disap
pearance, but tonight the 22 year
old youth was still missing.
From Los Angeles, Auburn and
Orlando came reports that young
Hart, in company with other men
described as of the "gangster

these reported Identifications.

owner now living in San Fran
Cisco, was interviewed by. police
there following reports he had
threatened to "get Old Man Hart
for 50,000," but his story con
vinced officers, they reported,
that he1 had no connection with
the younger Hart's disappearance.
A business dispute was reported
to be the basis for the alleged
threat against the elder Hart.
Press - announcements of a
large work relief program in the

of a sudden influx of men to the
federal reemployment office here
yesterday where they sought to

office business was heightened by

Fatal Crash
Fog and Swerving at
Start Cause Four
Deaths, Verdict
Conditions Aloft Not
Hazardous, Claim
Of Dispatcher
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 14. UP)
A heavy fog and a resultant
miscalculation in direction on the
part of the pilot were held by a
coroner's jury here today to have
been responsible for the crash of
a United Air Lines plane In the
wooded hills northwest of Port
land last Thursday night that
brought death to four persons.
These people came to their
deaths," the verdict of the cor
oner's Jury read, "as the result of
an airplane accident due to mis
calculation in direction caused by
foggy weather conditions and haz
ards of obstructions in the line of
flight."
The six surviving occupants of
the plane had- said that they no
ticed a sharp jar Just as the plane
took off, and men familiar with
flying expressed the opinion that
some obstacle in the plane's path
caused the ship to swerve to the
right. They ventured the further
opinion that because of the tog
the pilot was unaware of the full
extent of the swing and thought
he was flying down the clear
stretch of the Willamette river
when actually he was heading for
the wooded hills rising abruptly
from the river's edge.
Those killed In the tragedy were
Dr. Robert C. Coffey of Portland,
internationally known for his ori
ginal surgery; A. W. Davis, vet
eran aviator and pilot at the
plane; Arthur .S. Trostler of Chi
cago and New York, and Herman
Cohn of Portland.
H. B. Woodworth, co-pilot who
with five others escaped death in
the crash, gave the jury, what de
tails he could of the two or three
minutes preceding the accident.
"Our engines were properly
warmed tip, our instruments
checked, and our radio tested at
the runway before we took off,"
he' testified. "Everything was in
proper order;. We had received our
weather clearance.
"Davis gave the plane full
throttle and we started off the
field. Yes, I felt the swing to the
