EXPECTED AT
CON FERENCE
Despite Denials. Observers
Insist That Japan Has
Such Plan in Mind
WILL PROPOSE TREATY
British Appear TO Be With
drawing Somewhat From
Original Demands
WILL PROPOSE TREATY

Geneva, Switzerland. June 25.-(F)
--Overtures by Japan with a view to
the signing of perpetual peace pact
with the United States are expected
in authoritative circles of the tri-
partite naval conference.
Notwithstanding denials by both
the Japanese delegates and Hugh 5.
Gibson, head of the American delega-
tion, that any such suggestion has
been made, competent observers per-
sisted in the belief today that when
he had assurance that the overtures
would have chance Of being favor
ably considered Admiral Niscount
Saito. the Japanese spokesman. possi-
bly, would propose treaty outlawing
war between his country and the
United States.
As the conference neared the close
of it's first weeks deliberations to
harmonize the views of the three
participating nations on the best way
to bring about reduction in naval
armaments. it appeared that the Brit
ish were withdrawing somewhat from
their desire to reopen questions set
tied at the Washington conference in
1922, chiefly the matter of further
reducing the size of capital ships.
Japan's Stand Unchanged
Japan's desire to be allowed to
construct as many light craft. includ-
ing submarines, all below 700 tons,
as she deems necessary remains un-
changed, espite persistent rumors
that her delegation was reconsldering
at least the submarines feature OF
the project.
A Japanese spokesman, turning Ad-
miral Jones quotation of John Paul
Jones to mis- own purpose, remarked:
I'VE have not yet begun to fight
The japanese resolutely decline to
| be drawn into the controversy re-
garding light cruisers and armed mer-
| chantmen which has been debated
most of the week by the American
!: and British delegations. Their at
tention is concentrated upon obtain
ing better ratio for Japan than th'
present three to five each for Grea
! Britain and the United States.

portunity to view the country pre-
naratory to a decision as to whether
they will seek TO locate here per-
mancntly.
Crops Make Rapid Growth
Reporting for the northwestern
mart Of the state, T. E. Charlson said
weather in that section has been
ideal and that all crops are making
rapid growth as the result OF warm

SALARY BOOST !.
FOR INGSTAD
HELD INVALID
Attorney General Rules
Highway Commission Raised
Pay Without Authority

Action of the state highway COM
mission in granting a salary raise
of $50 month to Fred B. Ingstad,
state automobile registrar. was in
valid, Attorney General George F.
Shafer told State Auditor John Steen
today.
In his opinion Shafer pointed out
that the statutory provision limiting
the registrars salary to $4,000 was
repealed by implication at the last
session by a law limiting that salary
to $4,000. At the same time, Shafer
pointed out, the legislature indicated
its opinion of what the salary should
be by appropriating $2,4O0 year for
that purpose.
The action of the highway commits
sion in attempting to grant the pay
raise from money in the fund to come
from the registration Of titles was in
valid, Shafer held, since it provides
only for the payment Of office help
The registrar, he said, is an executive
officer of the state and cannot be
placed in the "office help" classifi-
cation. -
The salary increase was to have
been effective for June but under the
ruling Ingstad will continue at his
present salary of $2,4OO year.
