Early Nomination
Of Landon, Qaim
CLEVELAND, June S.-iPy-The
republican ; national convention
preliminaries developed such a
ivolume of Landon-for-president
talk tonight that some of the
Kansas governor's supporters per
sisted in predicting a possible
first-ballot nomination, in spite
of sharp replies from two oppo
sition clans.
So Insistent were the Landon
claims, in fact, that some of the
delegates pledged to him turned
to discussion of second place on
the ticket, and of the platform
which must be drafted in next
week's convention. There was
much mention of Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg of Michigan for the
vice-presidency.
I The platform discussions indi
cated that controversy might be
brewing on at least two subjects,
the plank relating to the cur
rency, and a suggested one fav
oring a constitutional amendment
to permit the states to pass mini
mum wage laws.
Tariff on Motor
Freight Planned
Adoption of a comprehensive
motor freight tariff, applicable to
virtually every possible item be
tween any two points, is being
considered by the state utility
commissioner, following a series
of 30 truck hearings held in dif
ferent parts of the state.
Publication of this rate book
would halt chiseling and unfair
practices on the part of truck op
erators, officials said.

terday in the task of re-ballasting
the mainline tracks from Marion

required to finish the Job.
Railway officials believe an old
cause of the track covering's
roughness along 12th street, poor
drainage, will be eliminated nnder
the present reconstruction pro
gram. To carry off rain water, per
forated corrugated iron piping is
being laid alongside the ties. Eight
inches of fresh crushed rock bal
last la being laid beneath the ties
and new ties laid where necessary.
Solidity of the new grade foun
dation will be taken advantage of
by laying heavier rails welded In
to a single section throughout the
six-block stretch. Ninety pound
rails are being replaced by 130
pound material.
Intersection crossings, which
have been left untouch, will be re
built and pared as soon as the between-crossing
work has been
completed.

Chinese Equipped
To Stop Invaders
SHANGHAI. June 5.-P)-An-
cient China is preparing for war
with Japan and she has a moa
ern army to back her; if war comes.
Japan's continued I military pen
etration in North China, coupled
with the wholesale smuggling in
that area, will Chinese them
selves assert force! the central
government at last (to defend It
self. 1
China, they said, can expect no
help from other power or from the
League of Nations, j
But Nanking, foreign observers
believe, will not-force a showdown
unless Japan tries to extend act
ive authority beyond the limits of
Hopei and Chahar provinces. If
Japan attempts, however, to go
south of the Yellow river China is
expected to oppose Japan to the
fullest. 3
Generalissimio Chiang Kai
Shek, semi-dictator, of the nation
al government,' now has half a
million loyal, well-trained, well
equlpped troops. In case of an em
ergency he can also count upon
another quarter million from' the
provinces, provided! the. regional
war lords support him.

Representative Hannah Martin,
who addressed the 20-30 club at
its meeting Friday night, suggest
ed that the city of; Salem should

She expressed the hope that
the architecture of these build
ings would harmonize, -creating
a unified group of j public build
ings housing .county, federal . and
