kew winds that struck after

total to at least five, and Arkan

storms, which affected widely sep

Oklahoma, where four north

escaped without reported deaths,
but listed 14 hurt and wide prop
erty less.
"The afternoon - winds, striking
several crowded schoolbouses be
fore the pupils were dismissed,
provided the most dramatic
threat and several heroic epi
sode as teachers herded their
charge to safety.
At Columbus, a town of 3,500,
the! twsting wind slashed through
the'Upper story of a grade school,
threatening 110 pupils, all of
whom were rescued without fa
tality while the roof collapsed and
three classrooms crumbled.
The roar of the storm gave
some! "two minutes warning, and
teacher, aided by Janitor W. A.
Fair, had barely time to get their
charges into corridors when the
wind struck.
XI- don't see how any of the.
boys -and girls got out alive,"
said-10-year-old Ted Hamlet as
he was led away from his wrecked
classroom. "The . fire bell Just
: mssed Eddie Bradney."
Nearby residents rushed to the
; children's aid, leading them away.
I sheltering them In basements, and
: tearing frantically into the wreck
; age seeking others who may have
beent trapped. "
The story of .Ted Hamlet
showed the narrowness of the
children's escape.. In his room
piled' bricks slowed the opening
of jthe door to safety, and the
- root fell in on the heels of the
retreating pnplls.
The first Illinois storms oc-
curred between ' 4 and 5 p. m..
with" South Pekln bearing the
: brunt of wind and accompanying
hall and rain. Sixty were taken to
Pekin hospitals. Two hundred and
fifty houses were wrecked in the

The twister cut a swath halt a

Gties League
Seeks Part of
State Revenue
Entitled to Some Share
' of Liquor and Highway .
Funds, Contention
Many Communities Send
Representatives Here
for Regional Meet
The problem of obtaining a
percentage of the gasoline and
liquor tax revenues for cities was
the major issue that was dis
cussed at. the 25th annual region
al meeting of the League of Ore
gon Cities here yesterday.
A banquet, attended by 35
delegates from seven cities, and
held at the Quelle restaurant,
began yesterday's full afternoon
session. Salem City Recorder A.
Warren Jones acted as ttast mas
ter and Herman Kehrii, execu
tive secretary of the league.
gave the assembly an outline of
the work that has been accom
plished by the league, and the
nature of the work it is doing
now.
It was pointed out that the
state highway and counties now
get all gasoline tax revenues and
it Is the general opinion of the
league that cities should be en
titled to from 6 to 7 per cent.
Reason advanced for cities being
entitled to a percentage of the
tax monies was that the high
ways, by increasing tourist
traveling and trucking, make def
inlte and costly problems for
cities.
Large Percentage
Uses City Streets
It was estimated that 2 per
cent of Oregon's population lives
in the state's cities and use city
streets more than the state's
highways. A committee- of the
league has been befcre the state
highway commission, and is
scheduled to appear before Gov
ernor Charles H. Martin today.
It was recommended that the
committee continue t work at
annuai meetings, through its leg
islative committee, to present the
matter to the state legislature,
Tnree recommendations were
advanced for acquiring a part
of the liquor tax monies for
cltie's use: 1. That the original
Knox law for distribution of
revenue to cities be ; ut into
effect. 2. That 1 0 per cent of
the net profits on the sale of
hard liquor be allocated to
cities. 3. That the liquor com
mission be requested to submit
budget for its administrative
expenses. . .
It was resolved that the legis
lative committee of the. league
present the foregoing recom
mendations to the state legisla
tare.
Other problems discussed In
eluded: Advisability of having
mayor and council members all
elected at the same time for the
same duration of office; advisa
bility of lengthening the terms
of office of city officials: and
the problem of delinquent liens
and assessments.
Ordinance File
To Assist Cities
Executive Secretary Kehrii told
how the league had built np a
valuable file of ordinances, aent
in by member cities of the league
and by leagues in other states.
which are of aid to the cities in
passing like legislation.
Kehrii explained the work done
in codification of ordinances, get
ting rid of conflicting or ob
solete ordinances, bringing them
up to date and Indexing them,
The league now has 135 mem
ers in the state." said Kehrii,
and has had -rapid end con
tinuous growth for the past fire
years. There were but 45 mem
bers five eyars ago. Now we hare
every city except two in the
state with a population of over
1S00, and all but Independence
and Union of the cities of over
100 ropnlation. Over 97 per
cent of . the city population of
the state is under the league.'
Mayor V. E. Knhn. president
of the league, came in for con
siderable commendation by Kehrii
for the amount of gratis time he
has spent in furtherance, of the
league's affairs.

Economic Parley

i .
Spirit of Helpfulness to
"Have Not" Nations Is
Kirby Page Theme
A world economic conference.
celled in a spirit of contrition to
help Germany, Japan, Italy and
other nations solve their mutual
problems is viewed by Kirby Page,
who spoke to a crowded auditor
ium at the First MB church last
night, as ' the means by which
America could dissolve the pres

Only such a move and mood.

problem as typified in Japan's
need for cottoa from abroad to
run its textile Industry; the prob

conquest or imperialism; and na
tional selfrighteousness and arro
gance. The United States, England and
France gained their world posi

is now attached to Japan, Italy
and Germany, Page avowed in
