The chief executive made no for mal statement concerning the dec laration, another move in the long disputed battle over Arizona's rights in the river. Construction of a pile bridge has been started at the site by Six Com panics, Inc., builders of Boulder dam. "The bridge Is being constructed without authority of law and with out the consent of the state of Ari zona, and in violation of the laws of the United States and the state of Arizona," Governor Moeur said (Concluded on page 8, column G Washington, Nov. 10 yp) America observes the 16th anniversary of the conclusion of the World war tomor row with countless ceremonies.

FEDERAL CATTLE POLICY TO CHANGE Washington, Nov. 10 WP) A re versal of the government attitude toward cattle buying was In pros pect toaay. For four montlis the federal relief and farm administrations have been buying wholesale until they have accumulated 7,500,000 head at a cost of about $101,250,000.

Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN Rufe Harris, now Judge Rule Harris, If you please, new justice of the peace In West Salem, has announced one ol his policies, west Salem has a brand new speedway along Its main street and Judge Rufe. says when he takes office that speedway will be closely watched. All young couples In speeding cars will be as speedily apprehended and yanked before the new judge. If they agree to let Judge Rufe marry them, he'll let them off with a reprimand for speeding and send them speeding on their way. Oth erwise they'd better look out. Dave Eyre, head of the United States National bank here, has just celebrated his thirtieth year with the bank. He's risen from messen ger boy to president, saw the town grow from a village to a city, has handled darn near as much money as John D. Rockefeller and acquired about all the ambitions he ever had In life. But he's never yet made a hole In one in golf and after all figures his has just about been wasted life. Keep at it, Dave, may be old Lady Luck will bust you In the nose one of these days. We understand employes at the bank are planning on buying him a new pair of gallusses for golfing purposes In honor of . the occasion and these may break the jinx. We heard Art Rahn, Ed Baker, Harry dinger, Wally Moore and some others sitting behind us at a shindig last night in a red hot dis cussion as to who would lead the governor's ball the coming Janu ary, since Fritz Slade has moved to Portland. It shows that all the big issues of the day were not ironed out in the campaign and General Martin still has some tough nuts ahead of him for cracking purposes. Election news is a thing of the past. The voters have voted and gone, But still the world wonders who was the guy Put the shack on the courthouse lawn. Doggone if that there shack hasn't got to be about as famous as the well known old tumble down shack in Athlone. We saw Sheldon Sackett headed up toward the courthouse today evidently to start off work in his new on ice. County Judge Slegmund got a disappointment this week when it was announced his lead in the judge's race had been reduced from 336 to 236. "No. 336 is the number of my Elks' lodge " said the judge. "and I figured this here old elk's tooth had pulled me through." Pullman, Wash., and Moscow, Ida., are now scenes of a great war coincident with their annual foot ball game, each of the two schools having had their buildings painted up, with students from the other school suspected In each case. How ever, they're not going so far as to sever domestic relations a la Lin field. It seems a shame one school can't paint up the buildings of an other without the paintee getting sore about It and saying it won't play in the other one's backyard any more. Even the county court didn't get that sore Because some body put a couple shacks on its courthouse lawn. One week we have a paint up week over the country with every body urging everybody else to paint up and nobody doing it. The next week somebody puts paint on some body else's building and they get mad and want to fight. It's sure hard to please some folks.

The council Included many prom inent business leaders, educators, heads of labor organizations and Louis J. Taber, master of the na tional grange. The social insurance program oi the president will be presented to the forthcoming session of the new congress. So far it is in a plastic form, subject to final shaping. One of the few definite points about it is that the unemployment plan presented will levy a tax upon payrolls, the amount of which is yet to be determined. One percent has been mentioned, but Secretary Perkins recommended a five percent tax last year in the unemployment insurance plan she proposed. The manner of operation and principal details of the plan yet re main to be decided upon, however, (Concluded on pngo 4, column 1) JAPAN ASKED ABOUT ISLANDS Geneva, Nov. 10 UP) The man date commission's secret report to the League of Nations council of Japan's mandated islands in the Pa cific was understood today to ex press the hope that Nippon will give more complete information on the development of harbors of the former German islands. A member of the commission said the report refers to the questioning of Nobusumi Ito, Japanese minister to Poland, and notes Ito's denials that Japan was closing the islands to foreigners and mentions that a large amount was spent in harbor enlargements. It has been alleged that Japan' was developing the harbors for nav al bases. It was suggested In diplomatic cir cles that the commission might recommend appointment of i League commission to visit the is lands and see conditions at first hand, but it was stated this had not been considered. It was the opinion in League cir cles that such a move would be of fensive to Japan and would not ad vance the situation. CUTTING'S LEAD INSURES ELECTION Santa Pe, N.

It seems that this hour should be recognized as the period of di vine worship, wired Dr. Robert Clements, president of the federa tion, "and that other functions at tracting people should be held at some other time during the day.

FRESH ALARM?., SOUND ABROAD ARMISTICE DAY Saar Basin Danger Spot As Veterans Prepare Celebration Nazis Declare Day of Na tional Humiliation British Hopeful (By the Associated Press) Europe came to the eve of the Armistice's 16th anniversary today with fear for the future tempering its celebration of the return of peace. In contrast with the delirious Joy that greeted the end of war on No vember 11, 1916, It looked appre hensively to the January Saar pleb iscite, another war "hang-over," as the chief cloud on the horizon. An indication of the prevailing mood, perhaps, was Ramsay Mac Donald's statement last night that Britain's attempt to promote peace by disarmament had proved fruit less. After expressing hope of in ternational accord, he warned: "In the meantime we have to take steps to secure that if we were met by aggression, we should at least be in position to defend ourselves. The Marseille assassinations, he said, "lit a flame at the side of material so Inflammable one could almost hear It crackle In the heat it produced."
