RH|NELAND ISSUE
UNDER DISCUSSION
House of Commons Told Brit
ain Will Cooperate for
"CompIete Evacuation"

ny the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 9.-Evacuation OF the
Rhineland was discussed in the House Of
Commons yesterday by Arthur Hender-
son, the foreign secretary. He had been
asked whether the British troops would
leave the Rhineland before the end Of
September. In reply, he reiterated a
statement which he had made in a
recent speech that the government was
anxious that evacuation should occur
at the earliest moment. But would
regret if it had to be carried out by de-
grees or stages.
The governments aim, said the sec
rotary, would be to cooperate with the
French and Belgian governments in
effecting complete and simultaneous
evacuation.
Mr.. Henderson pointed out that 1t
would be one Of the tasks of the coming
international conference to determine
the exact date when such complete and
simultaneous evacuation could be car
ried out. He declared that evacuation
was to some extent bound up with
reparations; at any rate, with settle
ment Of the Young report with which
the conference would deal. He added
In response to another question, how
ever, that 1t would be great mistake
to conclude that there would be nc
evacuation until the reparations ques-
ton was settled.

Actress Says
Equity Wrong

HOLLYWOOD, June IL. U.P -
Louise Dresser, noted stage and
screen player, and member of the
Actors Equity Association since its
formation, today joined the attack
on Equity's closed shop campaign in
the motion picture studios.
Z" Equity is in the wrong in insist
ing on its members signing only
Equity contracts for pictures, she
said. "Thc actors and the producers
both are satisfied with conditions as
they exist and there is no reason
for Equity intruding in the situa-
tom
Lionel Barrymore and Willard
Mack previously condemned Equity's
stand in the matter.
The actors association issued an
ultimatum week ago demanding
that its members entering pictures
must abide by the same contract con-
ditions that the Equity stage agree
ment calls for.
The producers have declined to
meet the Equity demand.

STATE STARTS
MOVE TO ASSUME
BRIDGE PROPERTY
Governor Signs Bills
Designed To Eliminate
Toll Bridges.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, June II.
UI)-California has taken the first
step toward public ownership and
operation Of all toll bridges in the
state with signing by Governor c.
c. Young of the Fellom toll bridge
bills.
Intended ultimately to make all
bridges part of the state highway
system, the bills provide method
whereby the state can finance, by
means Of revenue bonds, the con
struction or purchase of bridges
whose cost cannot be betrayed from
current state highway or county
road funds.
The state is empowered to con-
struct the San Francisco-Alameda
county bridge through the medium.
of the ni'ls signed.
The three bills, introduced by
Senator Roy Fellom of San Fran
cisco, under the direction of the
state department of public works,
provide:
l.. Creation of the California toll
bridge authority, Ooay which will
work with the department of public
works to issue revenue bonds to be
retired solely from revenues from
bridge tolls, to build, purchase or
condemn toll bridges.
9. Transfer of authority to issue
franchises for future toll bridges
from the county boards of super
visors to the state department Of
public works.
3. Repeating of the Archaic toll
bridge act of 1881, which gave the
state engineer sole right to pass on
draws and spans in regard to the
financial and engineering feasibility
of such bridges.
4. Authorizes the toll bridge au-
thority to lay out, acquire and con-
struct a bridge from San Francisco
Alameda county.
Private Bridges Not Needed
In signing the bills, Governor
Young said:
off the state itself is willing to
undertake the building of bridges,
where toll bridges are necessary,
there is no sound reason why pri-
vate bridge promoters should be
permitted to clutter up our highway
system with privately owned toll
bridges.'
Local self government for coun
ties, so that voters of each county
can determine the county expenses
for themselves, is to be studied by a
commission of experts under terms
of another bill signed by the COVER
nor today.
All counties in the state, regard
less of size, will receive minimum
of $4,000 from the gasoline taxes
collected by the state for building
and improving county roads, by pro
visions of another bill signed by the
governor.
All dams in the state are placed
under state supervision by a legis-
lative act made law today with Gov
ernor Young's signature. An ap-
preparation of 100000 to make a
study of over 500 Dams in Califor
MIA to determine their safety is con
tanned in the act. The st. Francis
dam disaster in Southern California
is said to have inspired the measure.

DOVE OF PEACE
PRESIDES OVER
BOURBON PARTY
All Quiet Along Potomac
AS Democratic Leaders
Meet In Capital.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,

WASHINGTON, June II. UH)-
Democrats have pretty well put out
the fire which threatened to con-
sumo them in the last campaign and
are ready again today to move for
ward under the leadership of John
j. Raskob, national chairman, who
announced at party dinner here
last night he had no intention of
rcsignins
The dinner, given in honor Of
Jouctt Shousc, new chairman of the
executive committee of the Demo-
cratic national committee, brought
together many national party lead
crs of all factions and gave them
opportunity, by repeated demon
strations of applause, to register a
vote of confidence in Raskob s
leadership.
Throughout the dinner there was
a studied effort to keep clear of the
internal quarrels which figured in
the last campaign. There was no
mention Of the prohibition ques-
ton. The rame of former Governor
Alfred f. Smith, the presidential
candidate last fall, was not men
toned although two passing refer
enees TO linn brought the gathering
to its feet cheering. In contrast,
Smiths running mate, Senator
Robinson, who was the party's vice
presidential candidate, had a place
of honor at the speakers table and
addressed the meeting briefly.
1t was indicated as the affair
proceeded that the Democratic lead
ers as represented in this gather
ing are determined to forget as
quickly as possible the last cam
paign, where the party will turn
for its next presidential candidate,
are questions which leaders desire
to keep out of discussion now.
Raskob announced they want to
raise SG00,000 through party work
ers in the various states, $350,00O
Of which would go to paying off
the last OF the 81 800, 900 1928 cam
paign debt, and $2J0,00O of which
would go toward maintaining ma
tional party headquarters here.
