contended that British metallurgsts
have not been as successful in develop

have the Germans, and the view was
expressed that the British designers
advanced the size of the ZR-2 too
much over the R-34 before obtaining
sufficient knowledge based upon per-

oncthird larger than the R-34.
The disaster is the second of its
kind in the annals of British airship
history.
Several years ago. before Count
Zeppelin achieved success with his

Mexico Sees Hope
For Recognition in
Ending ngg Oil Disputes
Suits Involving Article 27
Placed on Docket of SUI
preme Court With Idea
of an Early Settlement

MEXICO, Aug. "a (By The Associ-
ated Press). - Temporary Injunction
suits brought by foreign oil companies
against the government, totaling more
than one hundred and fifty, and some
of them pending since 1918. were
brought up in the Supreme Court late
yesterday for a hearing, but the court
merely placed them on the docket and
Immediately went into private session
we're begun after the decree of former
President Carranza ordering all the
companies to manifest their holdings
or make them subject to announcement
was issued.
1t is understood that arguments by
the government and the oil companies
attorneys will be concluded within two
days, and 1t is excepted q decision will
be rendered this week or early next
week Local newspapers say they under
stand the decision will define clearly
the Supreme Courts opinion as to the
retroactivity Of Article q of the Con
stltution, under which the oil deposits
OF the country were nationalized.
Negotiations looking to an agreement
for conference between American oil
men ana Ne&lcan OH!clalS were under
taken by George T. Summerlin, United
States Charge d'Afarcs here, upon ad-
vices from the State Department in
Washington, it was understood last
night. Mr.. Summerlin began prelimi-
nary conversations regarding the pro
posed conference on August 3, and it
was announced on Monday night that
principal executives Of large American
companies would arrive here next week
to meet government officials
Mr.. Sum merlin is understood to have
suggested to the Foreign Secretary that
such conference might prove means
for reaching an amicablc settlement Of
petroleum problems. When the Sccre-
tary said such conference would meet
with President Obregon's approval the
necessary arrangements we're made.
Optimism over the international stu
alton has increased, and predictions
were made that recognition would be
extended by the United States as soon
as the oil question was settled, which,
it was believed, would be before the
middle of September.
1t was said American oil men first
would meet Adolfo dc la Huerta, Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, and later would
confer with President Obregon.

GOVERNOR PLANS REDUCTION
STATE EXPENDITURES

Reductions totalling more than a
half million dollars in state expend-
itures are planned by Governor
Campbell in lieu of a special session.
This was made known in letter
which the Governor has written to
J. r. Norton, chairman of the tax
reduction committee which urged
that the state budget be decreased
for this year by the calling the leg
islators into session The Governor
Slys: In my opinion the reduc-
tions which can be made at this
time without materially affecting
the welfare of the state are as fol-
lows: Reduction in departmental ex-
penses, salaries and contingent eZ-
penses S100,300 reductions in 45
various funds and total elimination
Of 13 specific items, $310,4 ,430; return
to general fund of three former APP
preparations $4,000. Continuing he
says:
Il do not approve Of any reduc-
tion in the levies for education, it
being my belief that only permanent
harm would resplt from disturbance
harm would result from disturbance
tion to the general school fund. This
contribution is established on the
policy to which I heartily subscribe
that education, primary, as well as
secondary, is the very foundation OF
the future citizenship of the COM
monwealth, statewide in it's appli-
cation and carrying with it the same
opportunities so far as may be pos
sible to the school children in the
poorer rural districts as those liv-
ing in the richer and more FORUM
ate communities.
Arizona now stands third among
the states in education and from
this excellent position it is not my
intention to allow her to depart if
in any way l may be able to pre-
vent lowering of the standards at
tanned. 1 am Justly proud of the
standing of our University and our
two normal schools and while it is
my intention and sincere desire to
conserve every dollar possible for
the taxpayers of the state, in these
instances l do not feel that we can
