TO KEEP PEACE
Economic Means to Prevent
Attack Upon Ethiopia

Indications that Great Britain
might urge economic pressure
against Italy If she goes to war
with Ethiopia arose Tuesday night.

with activity. Huge stocks of mu
nitions consigned to Ethiopia are
being held at the direction of the
French government.
Britain's foreign experts, an au
thoritative source indicated to
night, have agreed to recommend
to the cabinet Thursday adoption
of proposals for economic sanc
tions by members of the League of
Nations against Italy if she fights
Ethiopia.
This far-reaching decision, it
was said, was reached by Sir Sam
uel Hoare, foreign secretary, and
Anthony Eden, minister for
League of Nations' af fairs.
Joint economic" and ffnincial
sanctions would prevent goods,
cash and credit from reaching
Italy.
Smaller powers and France, it
was said, would support the Brit
ish government should it urge
Geneva to adopt this course.
If the league fails to act, Britain
must then determine upon its own
unilateral steps in the face of
what it regards as an Itaiian
challenge of England's prestige
and dominance of the Mediter
ranean and Africa.
Ministers, recalled from their
vacations, will meet Thursday in
a vital session to decide upon a
course of action following the
breakdown of the tri-power talks
in Paris.

They were flying from Helena.

rarely taken by airmen because
of the danger of sudden and
tumultuous mountain storms.
Their schedule was indefinite and,
for that reason, no concern was
felt until they .had remained un

All three, the searchers report
ed, .were killed instantly. The
bodies of the two men were found
inside the cabin, badly bur

LARGER FUND FOR

Need to Be Explained When
Budget Committee Meets
Again, Says Olson
Belief that the city budget com

propriation for the Marion coun
ty health unit when that depart
ment's request for additional
funds was further explained, was
expressed yesterday by Dr. O. A.
Olson, former council member of
the health department executive
board. He said Alderman David
O'Hara had advised him that an
increase over the $4523 tentative
ly set aside at the committee's
meeting Monday night was likely
before the final draft of the bud
get is agreed upon.
The health board asked for $6,
185 from the city for next year,
or H'.62 more than appropriated
for 1935. Dr. Vernon A. Douglas,
health officer, said yesterday the
manner in which the 1935 appro
priations were listed in the com
mittee's budget slieeti did not
show the division of city funds as
they appeared on the unit's books.
In place of $188 for transporta
tion costs, the figure should have
been $345 and in place of $552
for rent and maintenance, $275,
he stated.
The department requested $700

SHORTAGE OF HOP
An unprecedented shortage of
pickers at the start of the hop
season was reported at the state
employment office here yester
day by John E. Cooter, Oregon
farm placement director, follow
ing a tour of the Willamette val
ley hop yards. Lois Barker, sta
tistician with the employment
service here, said the Salem of
fice had calls for 300 hop pickers
that it had been unable up to
last night t2 fill.
The labor shortage also was re
ported acute in the West Stayton
bean district., where two weeks
remain in the harvest season.
Bean growers were begging for
200 more pickers. Eighty - five
cents a 100 pounds was being of
fered.
The employment office yester
day received a request for 200
pickers from the management of
what was termed one of the best
yards in the Independence dis
trict, from the pickers stand
point. Pickers are being offered
$1.20 a 100 pounds or 50 cents a
box on hops.
Local employment officials were
largely at a loss to account for
the scarcity of hop and bean pick
ers. They did report, however,
that the hordes of migratory farm
laboring families which usually
drift into this district at hop
picking time have not been not
to date.

CORVALLIS, Ore., Aug. 20-(JP)
Passing of a resolution oppos
ing further moratoria on con
struction repayments by settlers,
under certain conditions, and the
election of officers climaxed con
cluding sessions of the Oregon
reclamation congress here today.
The resolution comprised a vote
of thanks to the government for
postponing payment demands and
put the congress on record in op
position to continued moratoria
providing the optional crop bas
is of repayment is adopted.
Vale, Ore., was selected as the
1936 meeting site.
Officers re-elected included Ro
bert W. Sawyer, Bend, president;
Dr. W. L. Powers. Corvallis, se
cretary; Olen Arnspiger, Grants
Pass, vice president first district;
Frank Morgan, Nyssa, vice presi
dent second district, and Kenneth
Miller, Portland, vice president
third district.
The moratorium resolution urg
ed the federal reclamation ser
vice to provide an optional meth
od of repaying construction loans
under which 5 per cent of the
annual crop value would be pledg
ed instead of a flat amount, "thus
preventing need of future mora
toria based on crop failure or low
price."
Other resolutions urged an an

$15,000 for permanent irrigation

construction of minor dams by the
WPA for conservation of water,
asked for immediate surveys of

Harmonious
Civic Center
Will Be Goal
That the effort will be made to
secure architectural harmony in
buildings of the civic center is in
dicated in a telegram received
from Senator Charles L. McNary
by C. A. Sprague, editor of The
Statesman, who had written Sen
ator McNary on the subject, in
connection with the construction
of a new postoffice.
Senator McNary advises that
the treasury will employ its own
architects for the postoffice but
will be glad to have them visit the
state so that plans for the building
may be in harmony with the pro
posed state capitol.
Senator McNary also advises
that the treasury department
plans to demolish the old postof
fice and build an entirely new
building. He says "Construction
may not start for some months
as it will be necessary to rent
quarters, prepare plans and speci
fications, and put them on the
market."
Engineers and architects are ex
pected to visit the city soon to
study the local setting. There is
an inimaiion that the new build
ing will be located nearer the
street for better accomodation of
patrons driving up by automobile
and stopping at the curb.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-(JF)
while Howard C. Hopson cried
"paper profits," the senate lobby

Most of the heavy profit, comm

their communities. We'll find out
