LABOR DEFENSE LEAGUE GRILLED Endorsement of the International Labor Defense movement bv several Salem men was severely criticised by R. P. Bonham, district director of the TJ. S. Immigration service, in an address before the chamber of com merce Monday noon. The movement has been placed definitely to the communist party and has Interested ministers, professors and one former governor of Oregon, under the guise of "free speech," Bonham said, add ing that he had more respect for a person Identified with one of Al Ca- pone's sympathetic campaigns than with one associated with an organ lzation that has as its purpose the overthrow of government by vio lence. The International Labor De fense league is the "fighting arm' of the communist, he declared. Few persons realize that when a communist named Foster ran for president of the United States in 1928 the platform upon which he stood was seditious, Bonham con tinued. Among the planks were the abolition of the supreme court, fran chise regardless of citizenship, re peal of all immigration laws, social as well as political equality with in termarrtage of blacks and whites and the promise of a negro form of government in the south. Because of their efforts to create strife, the "bonus army" situation in Washing ton. D. C. is critical and a source of great joy to the communists, he said. There have been no federal statutes since 1919 and Oregon is protected alone by its criminal syndicalism law. Importance of the Immigration sen-ice to the U. S. was also stressed by the speaker. "The immigran-. of today or his children is the citi zen of tomorrow and quality is of the utmost importance," Bonham said. "Had the United tSates adopt ed a wise immigration policy 20 years ago mere would not have been the unemployment of today. With out restriction America would soon lose its identity." The speaker, in connection with Hawaii, said that there are more Japanese children born there than whites and that should the island be admitted to statehood, the Japanese, which pre dominate, would be in full control of the state.

TAKES 30 MEN TO DO WORK OF STEAM SHOVEL The $1.50 a day to be paid for hand labor on state highway work to help meet the unemployment emergency is iigured out on a oa sis of how men can compete against machinery. State Highway Engineer Baldock told members of the Mar ion county court Saturday who dropped In on him to discuss some second- ry highway matters. Baldock told members of the court that It takes 30 men to do the work of one of the big shovels. Six teams are required to haul away the product of a big shovel and the 30 men split up in gangs of 10 men each with the ten men to two teams will handle the dirt that the shovel will dig out and deposit In wagons lor the same six teams to carry away. The shovel operates on a cost basis of $45 a day which gives the men a wage of $1.50 a day In competing against the shovel. County Commissioner Smith and Roadmastcr Johnson who were up on the Victor Point road work Sat urday found a case in point. They stated that 40 teams are now working for the county on that market road. The big shovel is on the job as well as a big 60-horse caterpillar. Billy Mcllwain also has a good sized force of men at work there. The county pays $4 a day straight for men and teams. "That's a great sight up on that market road with the 40 teams at work." said Commissioner Smith. "They are as fine a looking bunch of teams as you win rind, anywnerc good enough for a showing at a state fair parade. The teams all come from this county going in from as far awy as Hazel Green and the Howell Prairie country and also coming from the vicinity of where the road work la being done. "We have heard some complaints about the proposal of a $1.50 pay for men's work on state highways but it can be figured out as En gineer Baldock stated that men can deliver as much work as shovels when put on that basis. The new plan will also allow men to be em ployed steadily. Under the old emergency work scale at $3 a day or $4 a day, according to where men are employed, they were work ed one week In four or five and as a result got soft during periods of enforced Idleness and it took them about the week they worked to get back in physical condition to handle this heavy work. By getting straight time under the new work the men keep In physical condition to handle It and get as much or more mouey In the long run although they have to work longer periods for It. PEDESTRIANS GIVEN RIGHTS UPON STREETS By a new city ordinance, enacted at the council meeting a week ago. pedestrians have the right of way on Salem streets, and motor vehicle drivers are being made aware of the fact whenever police officers have opportunity to call It to their attention. While the rights of pe destrians have hen quite generally recognized In the past there has been, prior to this time, no city ordinance covering the situation. The new ordinance provides that any person driving a motor vehicle on Salem streets, shall approach street intersections or lanes desig nated as pedestrian lanes, with due caution, and must yield the right oi way to pedestrians.

This announcement was made fol lowing conferences yesterday be tween Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald of Great Britain and Pre mi er Edouard Herriot of France, As a first step toward re-estab llshment of world confidence, It was expected, all nations represented at the conference, which opens Thurs day, would be asked to promise to keep the peace. The two premiers left here at 11:18 o'clock last night for Geneva. Pertlnax, political writer of LTcho De Paris, said MacDonald abandon ed the notion of asking Germany for a declaration of peaceful intentions regarding Poland, believing it would be refused, and that the general peaceful declaration of all the pow ers was probably what would be asked Instead. In this, he said, the Keiiogg-Briand pact to outlaw war would be recalled. Premier Herriot would be Inclined to accept a 5 to 10 percent reduction of national defense budgets, he added. "The determination of both the French and ourselves."

Grange Committee Hears Arguments On University Removal Main arguments for and against the proposed initiative measure for the consolidation of the state's higher institution of learning; in the hearing before the committee of the state grange today were mad by Hector Macpherson of Albany and William Tugman, Eugene. The committee will report to the Stat grange con vention in suverton which opens tomorrow. Th committee presiding at the hearing was appointed by the grange to consider financing the state unified educational system, but since that time the consolida tion measure was proposed and the group was asked to report its find ings on the matter. Mrs. Walter Pierce is chairman of the commit tee, with Ray GUI and Loyal Gra ham. Macpherson claimed the proposed consolidation of schools as outlined in the bill not only would raise the standard of education but would be more economical. He said the state board of higher education now claims to be laving a million dollars a year In its unified plan, but that WILLAMETTE NOT INTERESTED IN STATE FIGHT Trustees of Willamette university went on record last Saturday after noon during the annual meeting of the board as "disclaiming any re sponsibility for, or sympathy with the movement for the physical con solidation" of the state institutions of higher learning when they adopt ed a resolution Introduced by R. A. Booth of Eugen at the request of the executive committee. The reso lution was Introduced because of reports circulated that the local university was interested In the locating of the University of Oregon law school in Salem. No successor to Dean Roy Hewitt, who had previously resigned as head of the law school, was named. It is understood that Prof. Roy Lock enour and C. M. Inman are being considered for the post. A reduction of approximately 15 per cent in salaries paid instructors of Willamette was voted Saturday. It is hoped this reduction will re sult in a balanced budget next year. A deficiency of approximate ly $4500 was shown for the past year. Amedce M. Smith, Portland, was re-elected vice president and A. N. Bush, treasurer.

BOOZE BURGLARS San Francisco, June 13 (IP) Fed eral prohibition authorities were to day seeking "higher ups" responsible for a frustrated attempt to loot a government bonded warehouse here of high grade liquors worth $100,000. A slender string stretched across the floor of the plant set oft a burglar alarm Just as the burglars prepared to load trucks with the valuable cases of liquor. Squads of police reached the scene in time to confiscate two trucks the hliackers abandoned In their hasty escape. Otis R, Kelm and Edward N. Oodat, in whose names the trucks were licensed, were arrested and neia xor questioning. Both men said they had left their trucks for repairs at a paint shop owned by Henry Nordhausen.

Texas (1P Nlcho Lara. who has mastered the art of riding a bicycle and driving an automo bile despite the handicap of two artificial legs, now Is determined to learn to dance. The 17 year old boy lost both legs, just below the hips, several years ago when he was run over by a train near Old Ft. Bliss.

Soon h will not have to us the crutch. "I don't want pity, but comrade ship," Nleho said. "I like crowds and people. Senators Arrives By Plane For Address Gettysburg, Pa. (IP U. S. Senator James J. Davis used modern trans portation methods to good advan tage when he confused the towns of Oxford and New Oxford in fill ing a speaking engagement. Davis appeared at Oxford. Ches- ter county, for a speech he expected to max at a bicentennial celebra tion. Ha found no celebration there. On learning of his mistake, he chartered an automobile for a fast trip to the nearest airport at Lan- ester and boarded an airplane there to reach New Oxford. Adams county, where the celebration was being held. An American concern is consld erlng the establishment of a wireless telephone service In Colombia. It had not touched th bigger Items of saving. He nleaded for one big university. which he said could be affected by moving the Eugene school to Cor vallis. "We have neither a uni versity nor a college worthy of the name now," he declared, "we have two halves, which the proposed bill would put together, eliminate competitive programs, and have a well-rounded center or culture. The proponent of the Initiative measure has long been active in educational matters and Is a mem ber of the Oregon legislature. In his argument he said, "I doubt whether there Is one man on either faculty who will come up to the first rate educators." He further charged that the director of ele mentary teachers training (J. A. Churchill) was not the proper man for that position as "he had not done on honest day's work in his lire." Macpherson attacked the matter of public relations ot the schools, charging that rivalry was best demonstrated by the school of Jour nalism at Eugene, the department of Journalism at the state college and the "corralled state editorial as sociation," all used to dissimlnate propaganda for one or the other schools. The physical consolidation would eliminate thta "bad political influence and fight for control of the press, he added. William Tugman, managing editor of the Eugene Guard. In his argu ment aganst the initiative, said the bill misrepresents the economies the state is seeking in higher education He declared the consolidation would decrease the property valuation of Eugene by $3,500,000 and would wipe out $1,100,000 in fraternity and sorority property. He further stated such a plan would slay havoc with the tax structure of the state, would cause a heavy financial loss to Mon mouth and that the change could not be made without a heavy Duiiaing program at Corvallls. Tugman stated the question came down to wnetlier the state should permit the board of higher educa tlon's unified system a fair trial, or to scrap the result ot three years' work and attempt a new idea at once. He declared the federal sur vey recommended against such i plan as proposed by the initiative as a "physical consolidation was out of the question." In his argument Tugman pointed out tne housing difficulties at Cor vallls, the need for additional ex penditure at the outset in transfer ring 5500 students from Eugene to uorvaius, and the creation of an ex penditure rather than a saving in tne educational system. The hearing continued through ins noon nour. Senator H. C, Wheeler of Lane county also rep resented the opponents to the pro posed initiative, while Henry Zorn president of the Marlon County tax conservation and Equalization league, originators of the bill, spoke in its iavor. The bill as proposed would trans fer the university at Eugene to vorvains. create a lour-year teach ers' college at Eugene, establish Junior colleges at Ashland and La Grande and move tile law school from Eugene to Salem. The Mon mouth Normal school campus would oe vacated entirely under the pro posal.

FATHER LOSES CONTEST OVER MILES' ESTATE The final account of James G. Heltsel as administrator of the es tate of the late Donald W. Miles, Salem, attorney, is approved with certain specific exceptions In an or der in circuit court just fUed by County Judge Slegmund. In most Instances the court adheres to ob jections made to the final account, the most notable Instance being dis allowance ot a claim of $19,24545 filed by the Ladd & Bush Trust company as trustee and guardian for B. J. Miles, father of the de ceased attorney. The contest over objections which had been filed against the final account ot Administrator Heltzel had taken a number of hearings on the part of the court and was one of the prominent estate contests of the year. The trust company, as guardian for B. J. Miles, and also the widow of Donald W. Miles, Jennie Woolery and others interposed objections to the account. The trust company presented a claim against the estate In the shape of a note for $18,245.65 signed by Donald W. MUes. It con tended that Donald W. Miles acted as agent for his father in a number of financial transactions and that an accounting was had between the two with the result that the attor ney gave B. J. Miles his note tor the sum mentioned to square the ac counting. Objectors, including the widow ot the decedent, contended that the note was given by Donald W. Miles under duress, that he had been threatened with both civil and criminal proceedings if he did not sign the note and that he signed the note under such threats. In the decree by Judge Slegmund he does not touch on these alleged threats or on the matter of the accounting alleged to have been had but merely disallows the claim of the trust company for B. J. Miles. He also disallows claim of Anna- belle C. Miles for $1672.35. This was for care of a child of Donald W. Miles. One claim for $280 is allowed for board, room, washing, etc., for a child ot the deceased. This was a claim of Margaret Miles Knight .
