GET READ urm srtcr IN jy&O-SLAVIA Belgrade Wf Restoration of parliamentary government in Jugo slavia, although probably in only a nominal form. Is predicted in au thoritative circles as the next major step in the reconstruction of the tri-parttte kingdom under the dictatorship of King Alexander. Some of the prophets profess to know that the king will proclaim a new constitution to take the place of the organic law which he sua- ponded in January. 1929. Since that date the monarch has ruled without a parliament and without political parties. The cabi net has been made up of men who were persona grata to him person ally and they have been responsi ble only to the king. A new system of local govern ment has been put into effect. It has been based upon the idea of geographical divisions or. the king dom Instead of the racial and re ligious provinces that formerly kept affairs of state in a turmoil. As a furtherance of the attempts to create a sense of national unity the very name of the country has been changed. It used to be "the Kingdom of the Serbs. Croats and Slovenes. Now It la officially what it has long been known as popularly, "the Kingdom of Jugo slavia." The redistribution of local au thority took place through creation of nine banovines, or administra tive districts. At the head of each is a "ban" who has almost vice regal powers. Like the cabinet maitsters, these bans report direct ly to the king. The dictatorship has tried -to suppress the divisions along politi cal lines. The old government saw the Croatian peasant party and the national democratic party in alli ance against Jugo-Slav Moslems. Slovenian clericals and conserva tive radicals. There were half a dozen ether organizations buzzing around these principal combatants. Six months before the dictator ship was declared, these rivalries flared into eruption. A. revolver blazed on the floor of parliament, Stefan RadiUch and several other Croatian leaders wer shot down by a Montenegrin and the country was brought to the verge of a separatist movement and possible civil war. Or-.e of the first acts of the dic tatorship was ths suppression of political parties as such. Ths prophets &f the new consti tution believe that if it comes, it will nrovido a parliament with only restricted powers. Seme see in the future a one party government like that which Mussolini operates in Italy. Others believe that the new parliament will be only an advisory body, as impotent to enact lesislation as the national assemblv of Spain under Frimo de Rivera. YOUTH CONFESSES ATTACKING GIRL Portland (LP) Albert Nelson. 16. arrested here Thursday for violat ing the curfew ordinance, confes sed to attacking Roberta Blooper, io, uins" roiytecnnic school stud ent, Monday night, police said.

She ran away from him after being followed lor some time. Police were endeavoring to con nect Nelson with three other at tacks on women here during the last week.

CO. 11 N. -si - m rV rr TO CONFERENCE London Franca and Japan, Thursday made public statements of their positions at the London na val conference, thus compumcnung the British and American naval pro nouncements made public last week. The eagerly awaited statement on French naval tonnage revealed that Prance was willing to accept a naval program running to December 31, l3fi, by which her fleet would ag gregate 724,479 tons. ' This program would mean that France would build 240,000 tons be tween 1930 and 1936 of which It waa stated 198.000 tons would rep resent replacements. The French declared their pro found conviction that armed con flict between France and the Unit ed States and the British Empire waa unthinkable and that ner pro gram waa a strictly defensive one in conformity with International agreements, particularly the Brland- Kellogg pact. The Japanese statement, which failed to mention specifically her de mand for a 70 p?r cent heavy cruiser ratio with the United States, in gen eral agreed with the previous Brl Lish and American announcements. So far as heavy cruisers are con cerned the Japanese stated simply that they "desired to maintain minimum strength sufficient for national defense, taking into con sideration the strengths held by other powers."
