BY REjCHSTAG
Berlin (CP) The reichstax passed
the second reading of the Owen D.
Young reparations plan Tuesday af
ter a spilt among parties support
ing the government had been healed
temporarily to prevent the fall of
the cabinet. The second reading of
we Plan was passed by a vote of
251 to 174. with 28 absentees. The
majority was large enough, however,
to relieve the plan of danger of de
feat and to ease the cabinet situa
tion.
The communist attempted to de
lay the second reading by obstruc
tionist tactics but were unsuccessful.
The Bavarian folks party abstain
ed xrom voting, expressing dissatis
faction with the cabinet's domestic
financial program. Other parties
supporting the cabinet, but opposed
to its financial program fell into
line, however, to permit passage of
the reparations plan and its accom
panying agreements.
After passing the Young plan, the
reicnstag passed the second reading
of the German-United State debt
accord by a rising vote.

SECURITY PACT
London (A) The American naval

itative quarters, is taking the' Im
portant stand that it cannot par
ticipate even in a consulatlve capac
iy in any security pact which would
be a quid K pro quo for reduction of
French naval claims.
It was said that perhaps there
would be no objection to a consul
tative pact as such but that there
would be grave objection to enter
ing one at this Junction as an in
ducement to France to reduce her
naval figures.

High School Student
Body Heads Discuss
Group Resignation
Student body officers at
cussion Tuesday noon to decide whether the group would as
a body turn in their resignations to Principal Fred Wolf. No
decision was reached by the stu- -
dent officers. A move to appoint a
committee to confer with Principal
Wolf in an effort to compromise
on what powers shall be text to the
3tudent body constitution, was un
successful, and the general opinion
was that the matter should be left
to ride until action was forced.
The Salem high school student
body constitution has been publicly
declared by Principal Wolf to be a
"scrap of paper, and he has in
formed both the press and student
officials that he was supervising the
school and the student body. Student
officials, sworn to support and up
hold a constitution unquestioned be
fore during the 14 years of its ex
istence, say they find their positions
almost untenantable as they are re
quired to either Ignore or endorse
actions in direct violation of the
associated student body by-laws.
The latest move by wolf in If
noring the by-laws has been In the
elections of the yell king, which are
still pending awaiting action by the
principal. While student conformed
to the by-laws in preparing for their
candldates, with the exception of
one candidate whose petition was
brought In a day late and who
therefore was not placed on the
ballot. Wolf postponed the elections
the Friday morning. that they were
scheduled to be held. No announce
ment has been made of when the
elections would be held, except that
It might be possible that students
would be allowed to vote either
Thursday or Friday of this week.

"Try Salem First"
Doe anyone here remember the
home-talent moving picture story
filmed by William Carde, Spokane
cameraman, who Is hers this week
taking local views for Bligh's Cap
itol theater, taken about 15 years
ago?
Carde has forgotten the name of
the family with whom h stayed
while here, and things are so chang
ed that he has been unable so far
to locate the house. He thought It
was somewhere around the north
west part of the city, somewhat ad
jacent to the business district.
When Carde .'eft Salem he also
stored a trunk load of moving pic
ture films wllh the family, intend
ing to call for them in a year or so,
but he failed to do so. He is now
anxious to find the trunk and the
film, if possible, for it contains some
interesting and somewhat ancient
pictures of Salem,
In the collection is ft home-talent
production staged at Albany and
also views of a $100,000 department
store fire in that city. It anyone
recalls hi previous visit, he would
like to get in touch with them
through Archie Holt, manager of the
theater.
During his present visit here
Carde has filmed the Capital Jour

IN REPUBLICAN
PARTY FORSEEN
Washington (IP) A warning that
th Republican party faces another
spilt similar to that of 1012 if the
senate approves the higher duties
on sugar, lumber and oil was
sounded by Senator Nye, republi
can. North Dakota, in a statement
Issued through the democratic na
tional committee here.
Whlde Nye and other western re
publicans have Joined with demo
crats In the tariff coalition, his
statement was the first Issued by
a republican through the publicity
organization maintained here by
the democratic national committee
and was regarded as designed to
bolster up the coalition.
"If the republican party believes
that It can make the American
people like the kind of a tariff bill
which a senate majority has been
writing during late days, I suppose
me party is entitled to a chance to
demonstrate the foundations for its
belief," Nye said, adding that his
"own guess" Is that "If the present
trend prevails the party is going
to find itself back In the days of
1912."
LOW STARTS WAR ON
UNSIGHTLY LOTS
Starting hi campaign against
unsightly lots early, Walter Low,
street commissioner, Tuesday was
urging residents of the city to cul
tivate this type of property and
raise crop of vegetables Instead
of the usual rank grass and weeds
which later In the year develops
Into a fire hazard and an eyesore.
"Several property owners are
taking this method of keeping
down tall grass and weeds," Low
state, "while others are getting
persons who have no garden space
available to take over the vacant
lots and raise a paying crop of
potatoes and other vegetables. It
seems to me this I an easy way
out of the situation. There surely
ought to be plenty of persons here
who would like to raise their own
vegetables, especally since there
seems to be so much unemploy
ment this spring.
Low say he I going to Insist
that weed and grass be kept under
control this year and if residents
rail to take care of the situation,
the city will step in and do the
work, filing a lien against the prop
erty affected.
Adam Frohmader, veteran dray
man of Salem, returned late Sunday
afternoon from Portland, where he
took team of horses and wagon
