NO CHANGE IN
BUTTER PRICE
AS WEEK ENDS
Portland, April 28 IP) There was
no change in the price Hit of butter
tor the week-end but second and
third grade offerings are Inclined
to allow a trifle easier as a rule.
First grade butter remains In ac
tive call and with supply not at all
liberal.
Generally steady tone Is continued
In the market for eggs. While on
the exchange there was an advance
of 1 cent in medium eggs for the
week-end session, no chanties were
suggested on the general market.
There Is a very acute shortage of
fresh salmon here with failure of
the commercial sportsmen of the
Willamette to et even a moderate
catch. The north is also short and
prices are firm at the recent ad
vance. Deal in the local and The Dalles
lettuce Is widening with Increasing
supplies chiefly from the upper Co
lumbia sector. Prices are a trifle
lower for the day but are held well
with a firm California market.
ITALIAN CHERRY
TREESJFAILURE
The rate of mortality among the
cherry trees shipped here two years
ago from Italy for experimental
purposes has been very high, re
ports Walter Stolz, who stale
there are now but two of the 12
trcrs alive. The trees were secured
by United States Senator McNary
and sent here for planting on the
McNary-Stolz farm. The plan was.
If the trees developed successfully,
to promote the planting of such
trees from the cuttings because of
the increased demand by maras
chino barrelers for the smaller Ital
ian cherry which they state they
prefer to the large Royal Anne.
Death of the trees Is considered
due to the long hibernation given
them in Washington. They were
kept In flower pots, screened and
under glass for a year by quaran- ,
tine authorities at Washington to
insure an absence of any fruit pest
which might be damaging to cherry
orchards in this country. It is be
lieved the shock was too great.
Another disappointment in the
experiment has been that the two
trees which survived are apparent
ly of the wrong type, and produce
the cherries from which Juice is
secured to flavor cherry packs,
rather than the cherries which are
used to make up the pack. One of :
the trees produced a little last
year and It is believed both 0 the
trees are of the same varieties.
There were six different varieties
of trees In the 12 sent, two speci
mens of each variety.
CHITTEM THIEF GETS
2 YEARS IN PRISON
Earl Bailey, who was convicted bv
a Jury of the crime of burglary not
In a dwelling, was sentenced this
morning by Judge McMahan to two
years in the state penitentiary min
us 115 days which he has been in
the county Jail awaiting trial. Batlej
was charged with having aided in
the theft of 200 pounds of chlttem
bark from a warehoue in the north
end of the county. He was Jointly
Indicted with Jay Munuer and Bert
Allphln, Munger now being in tiie
penitentiary and AUphin having
disappeared, according to officers.
The jury returned its verdict about
10:30 last night, going out at 4:30
In the afternoon.
This morning James Holland
pleaded guilty before Judge McMa
han to the crime of Indecent ex
posure, was sentenced to a year In
the county Jail and paroled to his

Continuation of
Kidnaped Child
riorn race One
delay. They awaited only a word
from leaders to renew their search
which 24 hours ago whs abruptly
halted at the request of the Robles
family.
The deadline for paying the
ransom expired last midnight.
ObMTvers believed if and when
the alnluctors did establish n con
tart they would stipulate a diifer
ent manner of paving the ransom
than that outlined in the ordinal
demand, delivered an hour or two
alter June was abducted Wednesday
while returning home from school.
In that demand, which was written
and delivered to t he girl's father
by a newsboy, the kidnapers order
ed Bmnabe Kobles to collect the
money and drive along a designated
highway after nightfall. He was to
drive until he saw a string stretched
across the road. The VH-year-old
former "cattle baron" executed the
orders without avail.
Because these instructions were
generally known, it was believed
almtiM certain the kidnapers would
outline a different set of instruc
tions the next time they communi
cated with the family.
Police were frankly nonplussed
as to what course to follow, police
Chief C. A. lOust Wollard, who
engineered the capture of John
DilltiiKcr and three henchmen
without firing a single shot here
last January, said lie was without
a single clue on which to proceed.
Relatives expressed fears over
the condition of the kidnaped girl's
mother who was prostrated with
grief. Her condition was described
as serious.
Tucson, Arir., April 28 ilpv -Chief
of Police (rtis Wollard and three
detectives left police headquarters
today on what I hey termed "t he
best possible" tip toward solution
rf the kidnaping of six-year-old
June Robles.
The officers refused to discuss
thrir destination or the tip.

New York, April 28 tip) Stocks
receded today despite firmness m
commodities and favorable buMiie.vs
news. Luv.es were wnall In most in
stances and volume continued linht.
There was a tharp rie In wheat
on the Chicago board of trade.
Near the clone of the stock mar
ket, wheat was up more than a
cent a bushel. Other grains were up
fractionally. Cotton, silver, rubber,
hides firmed, while in futures de
clined. The dollar was mixed In a
narrow range.
The stock market lacked leader
ship. McLellan stores was the mo.-t
active at a gain of nearly a point,
while relatively heavy declines were
noted In Consolidated (.las, Hudson
Motors, Radio Corporation, United
DniK. International Nickel. U. 8.
Kuuber, and General Motors.
A praduul casing off in prices
occurred near the close. Motors
weakened with Hudson down more
than a point. Rails lost early Rains.
Utilities held barely yteady. Mininp
is.-ues were mxed. Chemicals de
clined as did Fteels. oils and store
shares. Industrial Rayon equaled Its
low.
Interest in the market was at a
low ebb. Many traders withdrew
pending- discussions on the to;k
exchange bill scheduled to start in
the house on Monday. Indications
that automobile business was ap
proaching1 its peak for the sprinp
led some to unload the shares.
Stock sales today were approxi

Indian New Deal
from Page On
a wholesome American life. This
is but the obligation of honor of a
powerful nation towards a people
living among us and dependent up
on our protection.
"Certainly the continuance of
autocratic rule, by a federal de
partment, over the lives of more
than 200,000 citizens of this nation
is incompatible with American
ideals of liberty. It also Is destruc
tive of the character and self re
spcrt of a great race.
"The continued application of the
allotment laws, under which Indian
wards have lost more than two
thirds of their reservation lands,
while the costs of federal admin
istration of the.se lands have stead
ily mounted, must be terminated.
"Indians throughout the country
have been stirred to a new hope.
They say they stand at the end of
the old trail. Certainly, the figures
ot improverishment and di.sea.se
point to their impending extinc
tion, as a race, unless basic chang
es in their conditions of life are
effected.
"I do not think such changes can
be devised and carried out without
the active cooperation of the In
dians themselves.
"The Wheeler-Howard bill offers
the basis for such cooperation. It
allows the Indian people to take an
active and responsible part in the
solution of their own problems.
'I hope the principles enunciated
by the Wheeler-Howard bill will be
approved by the present session of
the congress,"
Continuation of

bonds lor eiiKineciiut; work.
On account of the attitude of
Mayor McKay towards the new
turn of events It Is probable that
Salem will accept no loan whatever.
"I am very keenly disappointed,
said the mayor. The proposal now
made by the pVA Is worthless, and
I told Hockley so over the tele
phone. I told him. a.s far as I am
concerned, the PWA can forget all
about the loan if this is the be.n it
can do. Mv opinion Is that we bet
ter go ahead with condemnation.
Bv doing that we can got the wa
ter plant for much less than the
$950,000 demanded by the company
enough less, in my opinion, to
olf-set the direct grant that would
be part of the $400,000 coming from
Wellington.
The letter from Hockley says:
"I have today received a letter
from Public Works Administration
in Washington, in which they make
the suggestion which we formerly
have discussed that vou should in
stall a filtration plant ot or above
the present plant in the Willamette
river, making such repairs as you
need in the distribution system, and
to purchase water works from the
present company. The Washington
suggestion Is that $1,100,000 in
bonds would purchase the present
system, leaving $100,000 which would
be advanced by public works ad
ministration in the way of a loan
and grant to building a filtration
plant and make repairs to the dis
tribution svstcm.
Economically, this looks like the
pioivr program, as the water would
certainly be as pure as that from
the North Fork, and would reduce
the burden which would be imposed
upon your city by $1,000,000.
"If your bonds would be sold at
W, this would give you 11.045.000
with which to purchase the present
system.
"May I have your prompt consid
eration and reply to this matter, and
if I can be of nsswitnce m any way,
j please call me."

Torrance, Louisiana State's 280
pound all around athletic star,
Mnashcd ail Bholput records with
a toss of 65 feet l'i inches.
The official world's record Is 53

RISERAP1BLY
Chicago. April 28 UP) Active
speculative competition for limited
offerings rushed wheat up a maxi
mum of 2 cents a bushel today
with most of the gain held at the
last.
Drought complaints from a huge
area east of tlie Rockies accom
panied the wheat purchase move
ment, which was but little coun
teracted by late easiness of secur
ities.
Wheat closed strong. lH-l'i cents
above yesterday's finish, July 78'i-
;, corn 4 to 1 cent up, oats
advanced, and provisions un
changed to a rise of 20 cents.
Brisk Jumps of grain prices early
today went hand in hand with lively
general buying of wheat. A turn to
higher temperatures was expected
to intensify seriousness of the
drought situation in domestic wheat
territory. Opening at cent
gain, July 77-77i, wheat afterward
rose further. Corn started unchan
ged to up and subsequently scor
ed a general advance.

One of the chief targets of criti
cism bv opponents of the measure
was that it did not specify who
should decide whether an aviation
company ofticial had been guilty
of such collusion.
Passage of the bill followed a
week of bitter party debate, and
rejection of a series of substitutes.
Although no record vote was
taken on final passage a moment

liminary to final passage by 54 to
0.
Senator McNary of Oregon voted

gress. Tlie amendment, offered by
Chairman McKellar of the post-

RETAIL PRICE
CODE FOR AUTO
TIRESREADY
Washington, April 28 (Pi Em
ploying price regulative powers of
the recovery act for the first time
the NRA today prepared to promnl-i
gate a retail tire and battery code
and also establish prices under
which no retailer will be permitted
to sell tires.
Leon Henderson, chief of NRA
research and planning, said prohi
bition of selling below lowest reas
onable cast would substitute "lin
cermg illness" for "sudden death"
to many small tire retailers.
The retail tire and battery code
has been pending for months, lie
contly a price war between mass
distributors and thousands of small
dealers who faced bankruptcy was
halted by a 40-day truce. The code
now before Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson, provides that if an emerg
ency exists, he may establish a
rca.sonable minimum price for tires.
Henderson said Johnson was
agreed that the code will become
effective as soon as the price truce
expires and that he will declare an
emergency exists and establish
"floor" prices.
It was emphasized by Henderson
that the Industry has been de
manding regimentation to prevent
cut-throat price warfare but that
he believed emergency powers of
the code should have "terminal fa
cilities." Tlie "floor" prices for the small-
size tires used for many small cars
will be:
Class A tires, $6.70 each.
Class B tires, $ti.05 each.
Class C tires. $5.20 each.
Net effect of these prices. Hen
derson said, will be to stabilize the
industry for tlie emergency period.

Cnnlinu.'itinn of-
Japan Restates
- pTom Page One
Francis Lindlcy, in response to their
questions concerning the earlier dec
laration. Only the high points of the state
ment were made public. The text
will probably be made public Mon
day. A foreign office spokesman de
clared the earlier statement was not
intended for publication. He said
it was a synopsis of a communica
tion of the Japanese minister to
China.
The communication today to the
American and British ambassadors
"is the only official statement,' it
was pointed out.
Hirota told the two envoys that
Japan has no intention of violating
China's sovereignty and Integrity,
desires the unification of China,
supports the open-door, equal op
portunities policies and has no in
tention of infringing on existing
treaties.
Diplomatic circles, while pointing
out that the new statement is along
the general lines of that of April
17, remarked that it was courhed
in more conciliatory terms.
The foreign office vigorously de
clared that Hirota was not respons
ible for the April 17 pronouncement
which has become widely known as
Japan's "hanris-off China" policy.
It is presumed that Sir John
Simon, British foreign secretry. will
present Hirota s statement to par-
j '" Momtay.
Waphincton, April 28 (ypj Tlie re
statement by Japan in a milder
form of her policy toward China
was welcomed today by state de
partment officials.
Secretary Hull, however, declined
to discuss the official Hirota state
ment and said he was assembling
all the documents in the case with
a view to making a complete itudy
of the situation. He threw i.r- light
or what action the department
would take, but said so far as he
knew there had been no discussion
with Great Britain of any joint ac
tion. Hull said his luncheon conference
today with President Roosevelt and
Norman H. Davis, American ambas-sador-at-larce
and delegate to the
Geneva arms conference, was ar
ranged solely for a discussion of
arms problems.
Ambassador Saito, of Japan, said
he had not received an official
copy of the statement the Japanese
foreign minister gave to the British
and American embassies in Tokyo.
