BR SKY GAZERS HOOfTSPRIVACY Summer time brings out sand wiches, iced tea and bees. In Salem the latter are often political bees. A week such as the last, which brought the great and near great of the state for highway matters, gave ample op portunity :or the bees to buzz. Most of the talk centers about the iirai congressional district In Cong ress and Mr. Hawley's chances of re taining his position there. Hawlev has been In the limelight so long he nas accumulated a number of poli tical enemies for a variety of reasons, one of which Is the simple fact that he has held his Job through thick and thin against all comers. For some months antl-Hawley re publicans have Centered their hopes on esenaror wuiurcl Marks of Albany as tne man to beat Hawley. But Marks does not choose to run. He was In Salem as governor for a day during the week and while he would make no definite statement, Marks indicated very plainly that as fur as going to congress was concerned he preferred to be In Albany. MnrkH Not Joyous Over Prospect Marks Is a .careful thinker. As a lawyer and will-drawer he realizes the uncertainties of life and as a suc cessful office-holder he realizes the uncertainties of election, especially when it Is necessary every two years. Furthermore Marks Is not overjoyed at the prospect, even if attainable, of sitting year after year in Washington along with 434 other congressmen: glorified office boys" as he terms them. So Marks can be counted out as an opponent to Hawley. Marks would like the governorship, provided he didn't have to go out of his way to obtain it, but even that office, if It meant the loss of his legal business would not be a goal for the Albany lawyer, senate president and at times, governor. The aspirations or ex-uovernor Norblad and Corporation Commis sioner Mott are not to be settled so easily. These are the eternal-hope candidates for congress. Both want to sit among the 435 so badly they can hear the speaker's gavel pound ing. Norblad States He's Not Certain Norblad gave out a press statement this week that his race would depend on whether or not he could see his son Walter well established in the law practice at Astoria. If he does, Norblad will run. Otherwise he would be reluctant to leave his busi ness and try the perilous route to Washington. His close friends, such as Hal D. Patton of Salem, say Nor blad will not run because of business reasons which make It wise for him to keep at his desk, but Norblad wants to go to congress, and if the field is clear against Hawley, he mr.y try his strength. Mr. Mott's plans are more defin ite He has not announced himself as a candidate but It's as sure he will run as It Is that Mr. Marks will not. Mott has had his eye on that Repub lican seat W congress for years and he'll not be deterred In his cam paign. Mott has beer . building Ms point toward the location of the home In Roseburg. This will be a sig nal but a necessary victory for Mr. Hawley. He can rightfully claim much credit for the location of the home in this state together with suf ficient Influence to place the home in the city where he first stated It should go. With the home question settled, Hawley has a prize package to display about the state next spring: without It, his political position would be as embarasslng as a bridegroom at a wedding where the bride didn't ap pear. Talk (iovernor as Senate Aspirant Around the statehouse the ques tions most often appearing are: Will Meier run for senator? Who will oppose Holman next spring? will the governor and his bullfrog party put a candidate In the field to spill Hoss? A circuitous answer ts needed for the first inquiry. The facts come fftom that "source close to the gover nor" which for newsmen la about as authentic as t.'ie tales told at a ladles' aid meeting. Nevertheless, this "source" and it has the air of authority, says that three months ago Mr. Meier had the bug to be United States senator. For some rea son Just now the idea la less attrac tive and if he were to decide now, the governor would stick by his knit ting under the capltol dome. Should Meier run for United States senator against Mr. Stelwer he would need to call off Bert Haney of Port land w.ho is going to seek public favor if Meier does not run. If he does not run the interesting question arises: will he support Haney? Haney, a democrat, a law partner of the late George W. Joseph and Is a close friend of the governor. If Meier supports him, the bull-frog party he heads may swing to the democrats; if he supports Stelwer he will need to dessert his boon friend. Haney is a sure candidate if Meier does not enter the lists for . the Portland lawyer, defeated six years ago by Stelwer, feels sure 1932 is to be his year of victory. He has several clubs behind his back which he plans to swing; "Hoover ' prosperity," utility "steals" as he will Indicate In the Portland telephone case, together with the personal ability of Mr. Haney which he will not be ashamed to point out to the voters. Holman Candidate to Succeed Self Mr. Holman is to be a candidate for state treasurer. -There has never been any doubt of that In anyone's mind from the day Mr. Holman ar rived In Salem. He loves public of fice. He likes its contacts, Its pub licity, Its chances to be boss. Holman has been a consistent Meier man; he told the public a few days ago that he was as much responsible for Meier's election as Meier was for Hoi. man's treasurershlp. Holman Is need. ed to keep the Meier control on the board of control. All these consider ations make him a candidate already and his frequent public appearances, such as his speech before the grange in Medford a week ago, clearly lndl cate -he Is talking politically even BY CONFERENC Moral Pressure to Be Used by Mother Country and Dominions to Secure Re duction of Armament.

Sixth 81 Pbon NGLAND SEEKS 1 932 ARMS CUT E MAN MADE ERUPTION OPENS NEW NATIONAL PARK ft GENEVA, Aug. 8. (UP) England and the dominions have brought a fresh moral pressure to bear upon other Leaguers for an actual reduc tion of armaments at the 1932 d la- armament conference. In notes addressed to the secre tariat both by the mother country and the various dominions who are independent members of the League, notice has been given that they cannot accept the necessary amend ments to the covenant to bring it Into harmony with the Kellogg Pact until the bringing Into force of a general treaty for the reduction and limitation of armaments. The question of harmonizing the two documents Is one of vital Im portance to the smaller members of the League, who count on the In corporation Into the covenant of the Kellogg Pact abolishing war as constituting for them one of the greatest guarantees of security. - Great imuruity. The question of harmonlising the covenant and Kellogg Pact was on the agenda of last year's assembly and after great difficulty necessary amendments to the covenant were found which it was believed would be acceptable to the members of the League as a whole. The question was accordingly placed again on the agenda of this year's assembly, at which time it was confidently hoped the neces sary changes In the covenant could be made. The notification lust given, how ever, by England and the dominions makes it evident that the necessary unanimity for the covenant amend ments cannot be secured unless tne rest of the nations agree to an actual reduction In armaments. In the meantime. France also nas taken an almost Identical attitude. French Argument. In a note she points out that while favoring fully the harmonis ing of the covenant with the Keug Pact. It Is quite apparent that this never can be done until a successful Htcfirmnmpnt conference has been held. However, as she always has in sisted that if war Is to be abolished as a means of settling international dlsoutea some other means must be aiihRMt.iit.ori. she urges mat League In the meantime concentrate all It efforts on securing tne moov universal ratification possible of the League's general act of arbitration. The latter, which Is the League's last word towards obligatory arbitra tion, has been ratified to date by fifteen nations.

LOS ANGELES LAYS PETTY CRIME WAVE 10 ECONOMIC ILLS LOS ANQELES,. Aug. 8. (UP) Although an Increase In crime ol 13 per cent which ts 10 per cent above normal has been reported here by the police department, au thorities are Inclined to minimize the advance. The fact that officials are not worried over the Increase Is because they placo the blame upon economio conditions. An Increase In number of petty crimes, rather than In lel ontes, Is evident, - Twelve months of crime cost citi zens approximately S3.000.ooo, ac cording to Mrs. Rhoda Cross, police statistician. In addition to tne money they spent In taxes toward the upkeep of a force of clerks. . ...... Kcononitc Depreshlnn.
