Portland, March 21 (LP) Flora
t pical of Orvgcn will dominate the
roatiide plantings to be made on
either side of tlie si i per-high way
between Milwaukee and Oregon City,
it was announced by Leslie M. Scott,
chairman of the highway commis
sion after a conference with various
organizations interested in beauti
fication of the highways..
'Hie bids for the planting will be
advertised to be opened April 5. The
United States bureau of public roads
contributed $15,000 for the work,
and the plan, drawn under the di
rect ionof David E. Thompson, resi
dent engineer, was approved by the
ban Francisco office of the bureau.
A committee representing the
American Institute of Architects,
composed of Harold Doty, Jamieson
Parker and Herman Brookmaii, fa
vored a plan which would include
domination of the landscaping
scheme by Sequoia trees. Mrs. John
Rislcy of the Portland Garden club,
and Mrs. C. P. Dean of the Milwau
kie city council, successfully led a
fight for the adoption of the Thomp
son plan calling for domination by
at least 30 percent of the plantings
to be typical Oregon flora.
Tlie plan calls for plantings of 39
varieties of shrubs, 23 varieties of
trees and seven varieties of vines. It
is the most extensive roadside plant
ing project yet started along state
highways.

The Japanese note was delivered
by Hirochi Saito, Nippon's new am

in it a friendly attempt by Japan
to lay the groundwork for opening
discussions with the United States;
on several questions on which the i
two nations are not in complete1

Included in this category would 1
be Japan's unofficial proposal for
a preliminary two-nation confer

conference which Is to be held in
Washington in 1935. Japan has
already served notice she will seek

Others considered it significant

just one week before Pu Yi, the
former boy emperor of China, be

the United States and Japan, with
Great Britain involved indirectly.
"All Indications," the authorita

most certainly will make immediate
demands for naval parity with the
United States once the subject is
opened.
"The probability that this also
would mean naval parity with Great

incidental to the Japanese."
