Food Administrator Hoover has toen asked hy ral-le to save the. $100. iXXi.000 fami.ie furd from difeat at the hands of the United Stutes senate. Administration senators are anx iously awaiting Hoover'a cable denial of Senator llorah'a charges that he arranged with American packers to that they were able to dispose of a vast surplus atock of pork and other meats at hih prices by creating a new market in Europe. The 'famine fund' will probably be passed even without Hoover's denial. Hut administration leaders are admit tedly worried over the tremendous op position which has evolved. PARIS, Jan. 23. Herbert Hoover flatly denied the charge that he work ed in the interests of the American packers. He said: "I apparently emerge in a new lijrht, as the friend of the Chicago packers. At the same time the mail brings the report from Swift & Company,- blam ing the food administration for reduc ing their profits ten millions in the last year.

IS WORD OF FEDERAL AGENT PORTLAND. Jan. 23. U. P. The busiest place in Oregon is the office of the U. S. employment service, which is presided over by Wilfred F. Smith, federal director, who declared today that there are 6,000 men out of em ployment in Oregon today.

Agents cooperating are the state of Oregon, the Red Cross and others. Until the first of 1919 there was no unemployment problem. Prior to thnt time the tide was the other way. But reports daily indicate the trend toward an unemployment situation. Five thousand blanks were sent to employ ers asking information as to the num ber of men employed, wages paid, clnss of work, if more men could be employed, etc. While the service is making a spe cial effort to place the returning sol dier and sailor, it has not relaxed Its efforts in the interest of the mechanic, the farm hand or the common laborer. To care for the soldier employment scheme a separate division has been set up at Liberty Temple with Captain James O. Convill in charge. Figures show thnt of the 650 discharged sol- ! diers calling at the of fli In the past .week, 350 were placed. Many of the others did not register for work. Fifteen hundred men have appeared daily during the past week. Only 1835 registered for employment in that period. Seventy-four per cent of these were given work. 1 hat the college board of tha First Presbyterian church will no longer withheld its annual appropriation for the tut'port of Alhany college and will hereafter give the local school a full rr.easuie of support, was the word re- cived todny by Rev.

The Avenue du Bois de Boulogne should have its name changed to Avenue du Bois des Step- ladders. Since the signing of the armistice raris has become the mecca of all al lied kings, presidents, princes, minis- ters. generals and other dignitaries. Paris, to show fitting gratitude of the honor conferred upon her by these visitors meets them at the little rail way station at the far end of the Ave nue du Bois de Boulogne, escorts them with full military honors up the ave nue to the Arch of Triumph, and then under this and down the Champs Ely sees. Cordons of soldiers line both sides of the avenue and their hedge of fixed bayonets as they stand at salute na turally obstructs the view, to say noth ing of the fact that back of the sol diers the crowds are massed for depth of 50 to 100 feet. Everyone who possesses a steplad- der, or who can buy one or borrow one brings it. hours in advance, to the wonderful Avenue du Bois de Boul ogne and plants it at a vantage point where in spite of surging throngs and elevated bayonets, they will be able to see the cortege.

Citiiena Ask Relief Through City Attorney Lewelling, nroperty owners who have suffered aa a result of water in their basements which they claim is due to a defective lewer system, appealed to the council for some relief. It was asserted that the sewers in some sections of the city are not large enough to carry off the surface water. There is some talk of appealing to the courts unless the sit- lation is remedied. The prospect waa referred to the committee on streets and public property. The ways and means committee was authorized to install a lin'st at the cor ner of Fourth and Main streets and the committee on streets and public property was authorized to inspect the old Cannery building on Santiam Road with the object in view of de claring the property a nuisance. Would Cut Jangle D. E. Nebergall appeared before the council and stated that during the re maining winter months he would be glad to tum over the men employed his packing plant to the city for the purpose of clearing the jungle In the east end of the city and thus elim inating the camping place of the ho boes who infest Albany every year. The men would work at a nominal sal ary and he asserted that there is al most enough wood on the tract of land to pay for clearing it up. The sug gestion was referred to the proper committee. Mr. Nebergall also In vited the city officials to inspect hia plant. He asserted that $300,000 worth of business was done there dur ing the past year and that he expects to do a half a million dollars' worth during the next 12 months. The pack ing plant is now able to take care of all the hogs raised within a radius of seven or eight miles' of Albany. Peace Conference Resumes Work Today PARIS, Jan. 23. By United Preas.
