Temperature Highest yesterday a Lowest this morning 55 ne fojnn o)iJlL Comment . on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. X"HE UNITED STATES says to Eu- rope: "If you are going to go on spend ing vest auma for huge armament, we shall expect you to pay ua the war debt you owe us." SUPPOSE your neighbor owed you aioo, and on every possible occa sion he protested tearfully to you that he couldn't pay because he had no money. Then suppose you saw this neigh bor patronizing the bootlegger regu larly, paying out large sums of good money for bad liquor. What would you think? What would you say? THE CHANCES are you would say to him: Look nere; If you can, find the money with which to buy bootleg booze at high prices, you can find the money with which to pay the debt you owe me. So either quit patronizing the bootlegger or quit asking me to reduce your debt." That Is exactly what the United States la saying to Europe, and to this WTlter It sounds like hard com mon sense. AT THE achool election up in The Dalles the other day, they voted en thta question: "Shall teachers who use tobacco, even In their own bomea and entirely apart from their work, be given 'Con tracts to teach in the schools of this city?" The answer of the voters, by fairly largo majority, was: "Yea." M THE P.OINT RAISED, Of course, by the question on the ballot at The Dalles la this: . "Does the teacher whd uses to bacco, even in his own home and mway from hla work, Bet a bad ex ample to young people, thus break ing down their moral fiber and lead ing them to form bad habits?" This la assuming, for the sake of argument, that smoking la a bad habit.. Some people think it la. Others think it isn't. BUT SUPPOSE we agree that smok. lng by the very young la a habit that should be discouraged. There Is ample medical testimony to that effect. The question that then arises la this: "How shall we go nhout it to keep children from WANTING to learn to smoke?" If they WANT to learn to smoke, they probsbly WIIJj learn. IP YOU are a" smoker, where did you learn to smoke? Out behind the barn, probably, If there was a barn handy, and In some equally se cret place If there wasn't. And the chances are you got a MUCH bigger thrill out 6f doing something that was forbidden than out of the act of smoking Itself, which probably made you sick and thoroughly miserable. ryHB POINT la that it wee the thrill of doing the forbidden that kept you at It, in splft of your nau seated and heaving stomach. Human nature, you know. Is hu man nature. Mother Eve was tola she musfnt est the spple, and forth with she went and ATE the apple, because she wanted to find out what would happen If she did. Her descendants have been follow ing In her footsteps ever since. nriHEBE are things, of course, that we MUST forbid. Murder, for example. And robbery. And a lot of thlnga that Interfere with the right of OTHER PEOPLE to life, liberty and the pursuit of hspplnese We CANT let every big bully who feels the urge to do so go about killing and robbing and bulldozing The COMBINED might of the ma jority must be made superior to the strong arm of the selfish and wlitui Individual. That la what law and order are for. But In the case of personal habiu. such as smoking, which concern the Individual hlmelf much more closely than they concern anybody else. H Is the opirson of this wrtter, who may be wrong and doesn't wish to set himself up as an Infallible n.i- CpuUnuad 04 fags gaji OUTLAY PLANNED Upper House Adds Direct Relief Loan Measure to Force House Considera tionHoover Veto Seen WASHINGTON, June 23. (AP) The $2,300,000,000 Democratic unem ployment relief program was approved today by the aenate. The gigantic relief bill was passed without a record vote amid a chorus of ayea. i The senate passed the entire Demo cratic program in one bill adding at the last moment the (300.000,000 measure for direct relief loans to states, which it approved two weeks ago. A presidential veto was freely pre dicted by administration senators In view of the bill's provision for 9500.000,000 public works bond issue, to which President Hoover Is op posed. The final form of the measure is still a matter of speculation, how ever, as it carried to conference with it the 2,300,000.000 Oarner rellet bill which was passed by the house. A compromise will be worked out. The senate added trie $300,000,000 bill In order to get in conference because the refusal of house leaders to consider the measure separately. The bill also would authorize a $1,600,000,000 increase in the bor rowing power of the reconstruction corporation for loana on self -liquidating construction projects.

Meier in an official statement, re leased yesterday, to Henry Zorn, the president of the lesgue.

ROOSEVELT'S FOES Alfalfa Bill Says Nominee Will Not Be New York Governor Smith Chides Claim of Pledged Votes CHICAGO, June 33. (AP) A new voice was raised agalns the nomina tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt today aa the forces of the New York gover nor took charge of the resolutions committee and sought to make eco nomic Issues instead of prohibition the dominant theme. Two more presidential candidates arrived Governor William H. Mur ray of Oklahoma and former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. Murray said the presidential nomi nee would not be Roosevelt. Later, Alfred E. Smith, the vigor ous campaigner of 1928, told news papermen he did not believe a can didate would be named on the first ballot. He la one of the strongest op ponents of Roosevelt. For Economy Emphasis Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the Roose velt picked chairman of the resolu tions committee, said as he opened Its first session the prohibition issue should be met, but the platform should emphasize economic Issues. Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, N, J., floor manager for Smith, laugh ed at a report Smith and Roosevelt hsd agreed upon Owen D. Young as the presidential nominee In the event of a convention deadlock. At his regular preas conference Smith was asked what he. thought of the big Jtooaevelt map at headquar ters which shows 691 votes Instruct ed, pledged and claimed for the New York governor. i"As an exhibit It looks good," Smith said. "The Idea waa stolen from the antl-saloon league. Wayne B. Wheel er fixed up a map like that and painted In the dry states as blue and the red eta tee aa wet and used It to Impress the state legislatures." Too Much Territory Smith added the Roosevelt map showed more territory than popula tion. He aald there was a contest in Min nesota and that a "stop light" ahould be put on that state until the con test was settled. "According to that map there axe only two or three little places that ain't for Roosevelt. Those little places are really big places. They have a lot of population. "I didn't see Pennsylvania on there, What color la that? What is my col or Brown?" Informed he waa credited with about 10 Pennsylvania delegates the former governor said "there will hv to be more than that." Asked If he had seen James A. Par ley. manager for governor Roosevelt, Smith said they had met. "Have you called Governor Roose velt since you came here?" No Call From Roosevelt "I know that number well. It hasn't called me yet." Informed William O. McAdoo had expressed a desire to talk to him, Smith said: "I'm not adverse to It." (Continued on Page Seven) Nurse Tells Of Hutton LOS ANGELES, June 33.

Professions of love and tender hand kissing episodes were recounted by Miss St. Pierre but the telling of them waa In sharp contraat to the manner In which she said Hutton executed them. Scenes, Intended to be gentle, were blssted with harsh ness aa she and Hutton 'a attorney, persistent cross questioner with a penchant for imnute detail, wmt down the rocky rc-i to Dubllr. In testing her memory. Once the court had to restrain the lawyer, Mark Jones, for the hearty manner In which he couched hi', questions. "Please do not yell st tie witness," Superior Judge nnth id monlshed, but It wsa not again long before the lawyer and the wltr. ess were batting at a .400 clip In their wordy exchanges. She relnted how, the first week after they were introduced to one an other. Hutton waa at her little Holly wood bungalow and ehe waa making salad. And while she mixed, David bestowed kisses upon her.

(API Mexican relief agencies were concen trated today on the task of alleviat ing the Buffering of thousand, cf people in towna along the west coast which were virtually wiped out yes terday by a tldsl wave that took a toll of two score lives. Accurate check of the easualtlea wss not possible today because of the disorganized condition of the terri tory.

Soldiers were searching for addi tional victims, and burning thou sands of dead fish left on the beach when the wavea receded.

Miss St. Pierre dropped her shoul ders wearily, asked for the smelling sails. Inhaled a draught, which brought her bolt upright, and ex ploded: "Mr. Jones, that la a strsnge ques tion. When one person kisses an other, naturally the person that la kissed Is also kissing the other. That's what a kiss Is."

Later In the evening, the profession of love, born within e week of their meettng, grew Into proposal of msrrlage. Then he tried a kiss and ahe warned him: "We must not have any more of these Intlmaclea." Between recesses the crowds fought for seats and barricades at the court room doors grosned, and the day got hotter, but there waa no decline In the throng's enthusiasm. The witneaa related how David first kissed her. v FRENCH ALLIANCE TO ALLAY FEARS WASHINGTON. June 33.
