Peace Talk Set
PASCO, Wash., Nov. 23
Freed of court restraint, the daily
Tri-City Herald published today
the last of its series of articles
criticizing the quality of work in
a new Fasco housing project.
At the same time, two attorneys
aanounced an arbitration agree
ment over the controversial West
Pasco project homes which may
possibly end the chances of a
contempt of court citation against
the newspaper.
John Cartano, Seattle, attorney
for the company, confirmed the
arbitration agreement He said.
however, that it did not in Itself
eliminate the possibility of a com
cany request for a contempt of
court citation.

X. Horrigan held yesterday that
the Columbia Construction Co,

In continuing its critical series
while the company had a collection
suit pending.
The collection suit la against
Lloyd Kestln, a school teacher
and disabled war veteran.
Cartano said the agreement pro
vides for dropping the Kestin suit
on the assumption that Kestln
carries out certain obligations.
Withheld Payments
Attorneys Sanf ord Skldmore and
Orville Olson said one of the pro
visos In the arbitration agreement
' ,, between the Columbia company
and the house buyers is- that the
suit against Kestin would be drop
ped. Kestln was a leader among
the tenants in withholding pay
ments under the purchase . con
tracts for the $7,500-class homes.
The construction company had
based Its arguments against the
Herald's publication of its articles
on the contention they were pre
judicial to a fair trial of its case
against Kestin. It contended the
publication constituted contempt.
Faint te Taulto'
Skidmore and Olson said they
represent about 13 home buyers.
They Said the agreement provides
for arbitration of differences over

nd the tenants.
Attorneys for both sides said
T mat; in the event any arbitration

pense, both parties any house
purchaser and the company
. would be released from the pur
chase contracts.
A construction company suit
against the newspaper for $100,000
damages as a result of the first
three articles on the housing pro
ject is still pending. The company
alleged some of the statements in
the articles were untrue and damaging.

Dr. Hocking States England
Improving Faster than France
There appears to be a concerted effort toward Improvement of
conditions in England while no such drive has sparked the French
people as yet, in the opinion of Dr. George D. Hocking, head of Wil
lamette university's Romance languages department.
Dr. Hocking, who toured both
countries last summer, spoke be
fore the Rotary club noon meeting
at the Marion hotel. As far as he
could ascertain, "France Is not as
well off as surface conditions in
dicate and England Is not as bad
as one might be led to believe."
While in Paris, said Hocking, he
noted "internal political confusion
and a sort of cynicism on the part
of Frenthmen toward the basic
things in life." j
A seiiea of war has "taken a
lot out of the country and its peo
ple," he said. The system of French
government with Its two opposing
factions has constantly caused poli
tical turmoil and turnovers.
In England, the speaker noted,
economic conditions are bad tco.
"But," he said, "there the people
seem to be making an effort to
ward bettering their situation, even
though many of them are strqngly
critical of the labor government."
The Salem higli -school' choir of
nearly 60 voices sang several selec
tions and Dorothy Pederson, a stu
dent, provided a piano solo. The
choir was directed by Howard Mil-

Sheriffs Given
Delinquent Tax
Collection Plan
Plans for directing delinquent
taxpayers of income and timber
harvest taxes to meet their obli
gations were submitted Wednes
day by the state tax commission,
Its recommendations were sub
mitted to the executive committee
of the State Sheriffs association
at a conference in Salem.
They will be considered at the
annual sheriffs convention in Sa
lem December 1 and 2.
Officials said all laws required
are now on the statute books but
it appears there is no uniform
practice among the sheriffs with
relation to their interpretation. In
the past the commission has issued
distraint warrants (none for less
than S2). which serve as a judg
ment against delinquent taxpay
ers and they were sent to the sher
iffs where the matter rested.
' The new proposal is to give the
sheriff the distraint warrant and
two carbon copies. The original
would be used for the return with
the carbons going to the taxpay
er and the county clerk. Also the
sheriff would be provided with
form letter with the original go
ing to the taxpayer.
Tne snerm, under the propos
al, would be instructed to make
the levy following default of the
taxpayer In replying to the letter;
