While adoption of the resolu tions was not totally a harmonious procedure, the bitter controversy of the opening day was gone Sat urday and good will prevailed at the closing meeting last night a banquet at the Marion hotel with Dr. P. O. Riley as toastmas ter. "Whereas economic uncertain ties have vanished, political uncer tainties cast an ever-lengthening shadow," the clubs declared in their concluding resolution. "What stands between the Ameri can people and prosperity today is their government. The wheels of industry would soon be turning at full speed if, instead of trying to remake us, the government would be content to make us well. We cannot have a full re covery as long as the administra tion Beeks to transform America into a collectivist state." Steps for Rescue , - ' CO?tion OntMneC I., "' l,TnVjeHH yesterday- "declared that the "republican party can make itself the agency of rescue from democratic incompetence. The proposed rescue steps for the party are: 1. Balance the budget; no high er taxes. 2. Sound money. 3. Popular government; no in vasion of personal constitutional rights. 4. Adequate tariff; no trade treaty bargaining. 5. Guarantee citizens against exploitation; provide against pre datory interests. 6. "Sound economy without tinge of brain-trust insanity." 7. Profit motive instead of so cialism. 8. Restore confidence In govern ment and the destiny of the re public. The convention tossed a bou quet to Governor' Martin, demo crat, when it passed a resolution unanimously declaring; ""fe re gard the recall law as an extraor dinary remedy to be used only when the official against whom it is directed is prima facie guilty of some misconduct in office which cannot be reached through the avenue of proper legal pro ceedings. We deplore it as a per version of the objects prompting its creation when it is used as a vehicle to punish honest men In office." - ' ... . Bonos Is Favored : " . " : " With Reservations , In an equivocal resolution, the clubs kissed the cheeks of the" bo nus seekers and at the same time tried to keep in favor with the ad vocates of sound money and a bal anced budget The resolution ad opted read: "We recommend that if the government of the United States Is to continue definitely commit ted to the policy of spending addi tional sums of money for the pur pose of hastening recovery, that the adjusted service certificates be fully and immediately paid, free from any scheme of inflation or other specious monetary the (Tarn to page 2, coL 1) - Nation- Wide Striki Looms n Mexican.

The money is the first portion of the $1,800,000 grant PWA made for the con struction of the Oregon Coast highway bridges. The state has already received $2,000,000 for the bridges through selling revenue bonds to PWA. Long delay on PWA's part in approving the reports sent by the highway department last Ap ril held up the sending of the grant money. Loan Negotiated With Salem Bank Because of the rapid progress of the contractors on the five bridges the highway department was greatly in need of funds this month to pay contractors for work accomplished. Yesterday arrange ments were made for a $300,000 10-day loan from Ladd & Bush f-here, the state selling that amount of 4 per cent toll-bridge bonds with privilege of retiring them when the grant money was :eceived from Washington. ...

Mrs. Rush said the family had been on relief for two years, so any ransom motive would be out of the question. She said she knew of no one who had any grudge against the family or would want to steal the child. "We received the note tonight when we returned from consult ing a medium in Spokane," Mrs. Rush explained. "The medium told us we would receive two im portant letters. When we return ed home the note was in the post office." Haner would not reveal what convinced officers of the revenge motive. He was In Coeur d'Alene and had not seen the note. He had just received word about it. Bobby, snow white haired and chubby 2-year-old, vanished last Sunday at an outing in the Wile Sage creek country.

HILT TO ATTEND, League Officials Worried Lest Warlike Nation Drop Membership (By the Associated Press) Italy agreed yesterday to attend the League of Nations council ses sion called for July 31 to discuss her dispute with Ethiopia, but de manded, in effect, the right to dictate what the council talked about.

The latter was the refusal of Mayor F. H. LaGuardia to license an unidentified German immi grant, "Mr. K," as a masseur on the ground that the reich itself had violated, the treaty under which he sought the license by dis criminating against American Jews. An official release said that "this constitutes a clear breach of the pact and that "it is up to the American federal government to give instructions to officials concerned to observe the treaty, Diplomatic Amends Asked, Bremen Case Tne other incident was a com munist demonstration at the sail ing of the crack liner Bremen Friday night in which the Ger man flag was defiled.

The conference will be held in Governor Martin's office. The proposed plans, drawn by Whitehouse, Stanton and Church, Portland, envision a new campus facing north in a 40-acre tract of ground in Bush's pasture which a number of years ago was deeded to the City of Salem. The front of the campus would extend along Mission street in Salem.

Twenty Acres Required For A dequate Capitol, Claimed - At least 20 acres of land are needed to provide an adequate site for the new statehouse, according to the Oregon chapter of the Am erican Institute of Architects. The view closely coincides with , the two progress reports on the new capitol heretofore made to Gov ernor , Martin, " . Both from the standpoint of utility and beauty the" new state house must have adequate ground room, the architects declare, go ing so far as to state that the cost of the bunding proper might well be ent rather than place it on in sufficient space. Objectivity . ot the architects, report is Indicat ed Ay the fact that no portion of the ground cost goes as architects fees and any reduction in expend iture" for the new capitol , would mean a diminution of their share in the outgo.
