Developments In the troubled
church situation indicated fresh

Heading the developments was an
appeal for abolition of Christianity,

Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister

with a veiled threat against Catho

announced by Relchblshop Ludwlg

Sweeping Campaign
For Rate Reductions
Launched By Council
On motion of Alderman Paul K. Hendricks the city council
last night launched a campaign for a genera! reduction of
utility rates in Salem. Lower service charges for water, tele
phones, lights and gas are to be the
uoal of the movement.
The utilities commlttre of the
council, together with the city at
torney, is to carry the fight along.
Numerous hearings before the state
public utilities commissioner will be
necessary, and necessarily a great
deal of time will be required.
Hendricks' motion, which was ap
proved unanimously by the eight
members who were present, was the
outgrowth of an ordinance bill pro
viding for a reduction from $2,50 to
$1.82 a month in the cha"ge made
by the Oregon-Washington Water

gue of nations it had forbidden ex
ports of munitions to Bolivia and

The two south American nations,
fighting for more than two years
for possession of the rich Gran una-
co territory, were cut off from Am
erican munitions and airplane fac
tories, the great Creusot works oi
France, the Skoda works of Czecho
slovakia, and Bofors company ol
Sweden all of the big plants whose
products make war possible.
In addition, the neighbors of the
belligerent countries have agreed
not to permit transport of muni
tions through their territories, ana
neither Paraguay nor Bolivia can
reach the sea without passing
through territorial waters of other
nations. The embargo was perhaps
the greatest triumph for the league
in IS years of storm and discour
agement.
Export and .re-export of arms, im
plements of war, aircraft, aircraft
engines, spare parts and ammuni
tion destined directly or indirectly
for Bolivia or Paraguay are included
in the embargo.
Neither country can manufacture
arms in any considerable quantity,
and if the embargo proves effective
the war must result In a stalemate
that will permit effective resump

which have been made all the time
for two years.

PAINTER EVADES
Chicago, Aug. 21 (fP) James Du-

for his life against a machine gun
squad which pursued him right up
to the door of a police station.
Dugan was driving home from
the wake of Roy Thompson, a dele

the second victim of strife over con
trol of the painter's union, when
the gun crew wheeled alongside his
car and loosed a stream of bullets.
Dugan hunched over the wheel of
his machine and opened the throt

He headed for the Deering sta

were close behind him when he
drew up before the police head

directed at him as he sprinted for
