While the League of Nations council pon dered the French protest on Ger man rearmament a reliable in formant here disclosed tonight that the action of England and Italv in reaffirming the Locarno pledge to guarantee peace on the Rhine was made intentionally as a warning to Germany. This disclosure was made si multaneously with, the intimation that the action was likely to have important bearing on the delib erations of the council on Ger many's treaty violation. The first day's session of the council produced little in concrete results except a decision to put off Ethiopia's request for imme diate arbitration of her dispute with Italy. The council recom mended that the two nations do their utmost to conciliate their differences between themselves, despite Ethiopia's claim that di rect dealings with Italy had bro ken down. Terrorism Claimed Erro.neons Report The League of Nations building Was virtually an armed fortress. Because of the reported arrest at Marseille- of two alleged plotters against the lives of prominent st& teamen here, police were al most as numerous as at Stresa. The reported plot was said to have included the slaying of Pre mier Mussolini at Stresa and out rages upon men like Foreign Ministers Pierre Laval of France, Nicholas Titulcscu of Rumania and Edouard Benes of Czecho slovakia. It was revealed tonight fay a reliable informant that an attempt was maae'Sh theTffe of Benes about two years ago in the league building, but the would-be assailant was arrested and. the in cident hushedup. (Marseille dispatches said the terrorist scare was caused by the act of a woman in changing her age on a passport, resnlting in the expulsion from France of Eda Caroni and Rudolph Gund scher, on charges of carrying false passports.)

OPINIONS VARY f L T Men Ready to Walk Out or Negotiate, Statement of Ben Osborne 90 Per Cent Not in Favor of Conflict, Declares President of 4L PORTLAND. Ore.. April 15.- (P)-Tlmber and sawmill workers of the Pacific northwest were var iously represented tonight as be ing ready to strike and as being 90 per cent against any strike. Ben T. Osbourne, secretary of the Oregon Federation of Labor, projected himself for the first time into the threatened lumber industry strike by declaring the union workers were "ready to move at anytime, either in the direction of negotiation or strike.' He asserted there were "un precedented demands from men In the woods" to enroll in the union. On the other hand, high offi cers of the Loyal Legion of Log gers and Lumbermen announced that a two-week survey just com pleted in Oregon, Washington and Idaho showed that "90 per cent of the. workers don't want to strike." W. C. Ruegnitz, 4L president, and A. D. Chishol, vice-president, both of Portland, said most work ers opposed a strike. Chisholm as serted he had just completed an opinion sounding tour of 3000 miles. Iiow Ebb of Lumber Industry Pointed Out Wages in the western division of the industry, they declared, are the highest in the United States. The industry is producing about 35 per cent of normal, based on 1929 figures, is employing 52 per cent of the help engaged in 1929, and the market is at the lowest ebb in history. President Ruegnitz said ap proximately a third of the 1400 mills in the northwest are operat ing under iL standards which he said gives employes the highest minimum wage rate in the lumber world. "This is due." he said, "to 18 years of over-the-table' work car ried on by the 4L. The attitude of the men is that the 4L has estab lished a record of leadership in establishing for the entire western ' (Turn to Page 2, Col. 1) CHIEFS STAND PIT ON SECURITY BILL WASHINGTON, April 15.-P)-House democratic leaders, seeking to prevent the adoption of liber alizing amendments to the old age pension feature of the admin istration's social security bill, to day set the party whips to work to keep their forces ready for a show down fight probably Thursday. At the same time, backers of proposed amendments to the bill paid less attention to debate than they did to private vote-seeking dickers with members. The democratic leaders optim istically forecast that the bill would get through without being changed to put the whole burden of old-age pensions, Instead of half as the measure provides, upon the federal government. They were basing their fore cast not only on what their own checks showed, but also on the estimates by supporters of the proposed changes. One of the latter. Representative McGroarty (D-Calif), who introduced the Townsend pension bill, conceded that he would get only 50 to 60 of the 432 house votes for this bill. Condition of Shirley Dane, 7, who was struck by an automobile near the Hollywood theatre Sat urday night, remained grave last night, attendants at Salem Deac oness hospital said at 11 o'clock last night.

Jhe exact nature of her In juries may be revealed today when x-ray photographs taken of her head are studied. It is not believed she received any broken bones. The girl's mother. Hazel Dane, arrived here Sunday from Yaki ma, Wash., to be at the bedside. It was understood her father, Desmond Daua of Portland, also had come here.

SPIH Popular Foodstuffs Topics in Round Table Contest for Present Week The avocado, as it is now more frequently callad, although the name alligator pear is more fa miliar to some housewives, a comparatively new vegetable on the market, is rapidly making its way to common use in the family menu. Because of its delicate flavor and its adaptability, it is taking a prominent place in the realm of salads. Anyone who has a new way of using this vegetable is faced with an opportunity to enter the Round Table contest this week and earn a cash award. For those whose favorite food is spinach, there is an excellent opportunity to de velop originality and pass on their favorite recipes. Spinach, much valued in diets and general health welfare, lends itself to both child and adult use The Round Table invites recipes using either spinach or avocados this week.

The dust storm situation drew federal attention with the sending of M. L. Wilson, assistant secre tary of agriculture on an inspec tion tour of southwestern Kansas. Accompanied by Governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas, he headed into the area to gather facts for pre-- sensation to Secretary Wallace. His report "will be used in de velopment of a long time soil ero sion project," he said. At Washington, Wallace's de partment said the drought situa tion in the western plains on April 1 was "even worse" than at the same time last year. Train and highway traffic was at a standstill in southeastern Col orado yesterday. The dust storm there was a continuation of Sun day's in which the five-year-old son of Elmer Collins, a rancher, was lost for four hours. A bark ing dog figured in the rescue. Monday's duster blanketed south western Colorado, falling on the Rockies. A dust sttorm also hampered traffic near Grantsville, Utah, and caused many parents to keep their children out of school. Smudge pots were burned last night in the Missouri Ozarks to safeguard budding fruit trees against a predicted frost. One hundred and sixteen chil dren marched in orderly fashion from the burning Lutheran or phans home in St. Louis county. The flames, which broke out as the children were finishing morn ing prayers, spread rapidly before a 22-miles-a"n"-hour wind and caus ed damage estimated at $150,000. E BILL INTRODUCED A special city election to vote on two bond measures Is set for Thursday, June 20, in an ordin ance which went through first and second readings at the city council meeting here last night. Accompanying this ordinance were companion measures, one of which calls for a $22,000 bond Issue to provide funds to furnish materials and workmen's compen sation to complete the Shelton creek drainage project to be done with SERA labor. The other bond issue to be sought at the election is one calling for the issuance of gener al obligations of the city up to $185,000 to retire outstanding general fund warrants. Authority Voted v To Refund Bonds Authority to refund J 3 0.0 00 in Bancroft improvement bonds on which interest is due May 1, was granted the city treasurer last night by the city council which suspended its rules and passed the measure through final reading. The refunding bonds would take the place of a $40,955 Bancroft bond issue put out November 15, 1930 and bearing interest at six per cent a year. Of this issue, $10,955 would be retired from moneys now in the bond fund sinking account. A 130,000 refunding issue sold earlier this month brought bids slightly above par on a 3 to 3 per cent interest basis. LEHTION Hearing on Traffic Code Ordered; Although the city council's or dinance committee gave a favor able report on the new traffic code for Salem embodied in a 45-page revision of 38 existing traffic ordinances, a public hear ing will be held on the measure, the council agreed last night in adopting the motion of Alderman Fred Williams. The alderman said he thought the measure ot sufficient importance to merit a thorough-going discussion by the public. Williams reported that 65 protests had been made against the ordinance. The council approved a resolu tlon of its city building inspec tor, calling for the razing of a house at 1140 Leslie street, resi dents of that district having peti tioned that the structure be. re moved, The council received and filed utton Defenders Win First Round; Issue is Given New Committee Summary of Resolution Calling for Civil Service Commission Probe of Fire Chief Hot ton Which City Council Sent to Committee Resolution sets out that complaints have been made by responsible persons against Hutton. Major among the com plaints are: That Hutton is incompetent and inefficient and derelU-t in duty. That he does not train and drill members of the depart ment. That he does not obey the ordinances and resolutions of the council. That he does not properly maintain the fire fighting equipment. That he does not maintain order and discipline in the fire department. That he has permitted fac tionalism to develop in the de partment. That he has permitted em ployes to remain on duty while under the influence of liquor. That he does not promptly discipline infractions of the department rules. That he has violated (he civil service provisions of the charter. That he is discourteous in his treatment of the public. That fire insurance rates in Salem are higher because of his inefficiency. The resoluiton asks that the civil service commission make a full and complete investiga tion of the complaints. Findings of the commission are to be submitted within SO days to the council under the terms of the resolution. COST STILL RISES Gain of $1742 in Last Ten Days Announced; Fees Not Yet Honored Salem's costs In the tedious process of acquiring a municipal water plant have gone up $1742 the last ten days, the city coun cil was informed last night, the aggregate charges thus far incur red now running beyond $25,000. Latest charges to the city since the utilities committee of the council reported Friday, April 5, are $467.50 more due to Walter C. Winslow, attorney, and $1275 more due to William II . Trindle, attorney, both of whom have rep resented the city in its suits to acquire the plant. Winslow's charges to April 11 now total $29 55 at the rate of $50 a day for office work and $100 a day for court work. Trindle's aggregate , fees run to $2100. Of this sum, $1250 is due, the council was told last night, for a fee in representing the city in the suit of the city of Salem against the Oregon-Washington Water Service company where a declaratory Judgment on the water purchase charter amendment was sought and ob tained frorm the state supreme court. Trfndle also represented the city in a suit in federal court which the water company filed shortly after the declaratory judgment action was begun in circuit court here. His $1250 fee includes that case. The utilities committee report ed that Trindle had agreed that (Turn to Page 2, Col. 2) COLLEGIANS BLANKED BOSTON.

Joe Mulli gan, former Holy Cross twirler, held the Eagles to two hits and had 14 strikeouts. Objection Made a petition by Alex Thomson, 750 North Commercial street, and five others, who requested that no more beer dispensing licenses be issued to operators in the dis trict north of Marion street on Commercial or Liberty streets, because additional licensesees would make the business of beer sellers now In business unprofit able. Over the protests of Alderman Henry Vandevort, the application of a firm on North High street, near the First Christian church, was approved for a state beer license. An ordinance was put on first and second readings, providing that any person refusing to an swer the subpoena of the civil service commission, could be fined up to $100 for non-appear- ance. T 1 "Fair Deal" i Sought by Group; Special Probers Named Resolution Declares Ouster Warranted; Warmly Debated Proponents of what they term a "fair deal" for Harry F. Hut ton, Salem's fire chief, won the in itial round in their fight last night before the city council. Led by Aldermen Henry Vande vort who staved off an aldermanie vote on a resolution calling for civil service commission investi gation of charges against Hutton, a majority of the aldermen voted to refer the resolution to a spe cial council committee. Not until that committee has probed the charges and reported to the next meeting of the alder- ; men, Monday, May 6, will the council determine whether or not to ask the civil service commis sion to determine the truth or fal sity of the complaints made against the chief. "All we want is a fair deal for Hutton," Vandevort declared as he obtained the floor, before Al derman Merrill D. Ohling. chair man of the council's committee on fire and water, could move the passage of the resolution his committee had unanimously ad opted. Special Committee Appointed for Prole "It the allegations in this res olution are true, I would t)e the last to defend Hutton," Vande vort said. His motton called for the appointment of Aldermea O'Hara, Williams, Armpriest, Goodman and Evans on the spe cial committee. Alderman Perrine seconded the motion, saying he wanted the council to investigat the charges before asking the civ il service commission to partici pate in the Hutton matter. "This resolution as read give Hutton a fair trial," Ohling re torted. "There is no reason for a special committee. This resolu tion now offered is the result of the investigations of the council's committee on fire and water. "You don't think Hutton can get a fair trial before the civil ser vice commission, do you?" Van devort replied. "You know the chairman is prejudiced. He said after another case "you know yoa beat us in court but it cost you $700." Ohling came to the commis sion's defense. "If you think the commission unfair, you should put in a resolution asking that the commission be investigated," Ohl ing counselled Vandevort. The resolution, had it passed last night, would have provided that the civil service commis'sion investigate all charges against Hutton and report to the eouncil within 30 days. Decision on Hut ton's continuance as fire chief or his ouster remained with the council. Will Hold Executive Sessions, is Plan Alderman O'Hara, first named on the list of five committee mem bers by Vandevort and probable chairman, said after the council adjourned that he would not call the special group together until next week. He said the committee would hold executive sessions at the outset of its investigation. Members of the fire and water committee ot the council, which favors Hutton's ouster, said after the meeting that the special coun cil committee had no power to subpoena witnesses and could not therefore do a thorough job of (Turn to page 2, col. 3) CRUSH VICTIM MAY DIE; ACTS PROBED MEDFORD, Ore..
