Main Fork Is Rumor;
Blaze Near Park

Sunlight was red Monday after
noon as smoke from forest fires
darkened the sky and hung like
haze over the Beartooth noun
tains, but rumors of fires in the
Beartooth division Of the Custer
national forest were unverified.
Reports reaching the Rock
Greek ranger station said that
fire had broken out on the main
fork of Rock creek, near the Lake
Fork junction. A crew of 20 mer
was picked up in Red Lodge by
Ranger Warren Akers, transport
ed up the creek to scout the blaze.

Absaroka mountains was rolling
over on this side.
The fire Monday was variously
reported at Cold creek, above the
Nordquist ranch, and on Soda
Butte creek near the Yellowstone
park boundary.

DRASTIC CUTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. U.P) -
President Hoover put the finishing
touches today to his budget mes
sage to congress which is expected
to urge the most drastic reduction
in the cost of government in recent

gress next Wednesday is expected
to center on two major proposals
to help make up the huge federal
deficit and balance the budget:
l. Revision Of the pay cut for fed
eral employees, reducing the wage
scale 10 to Is per cent instead OF
the present "payless furlough'
scheme.
2. A sales tax on all goods but the
essentials of life."
Economy provisions affecting fed
eral workers are being studied this
week by the senate special economy
committee, headed by Senator Bing-
ham CRep), Connecticut. An open

Beyschlag Making
Citrus Experiments

Top working, or budding over of
citrus trees to new varieties, is be-
ing conducted by Frank Beyschlag,
farm advisor, on a group of old
citrus trees at the Meloland ex-
pertinent station.
Some years ago, Dr. H. B. Frost,
plant geneticist of the Riverside
Citrus Experiment station did some
work on hybridizing citrus species,
crossing varieties. etc. in an en-
ccavor to find improved varieties
OF citrus. He has developed five
or six which seem to show promise
and has sent them to Beyschlag.
Five of these varieties have been
budded at intervals to trees at the
Meloland station, and .one variety,
tangerine, will bear fruit within
a year. The other experiments
were less successful so yesterday
Beyschlag tried the experiment
again, budding over trees to these
new varities.

CAPITAL WILL
HALT MARCHERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. U.P)-
The law enforcement agencies of
the Washington and surrounding
territory were mobilized today to
prevent disorders as columns of
hunger marchers" forged steadily
toward the national capital.
American Legion posts in near
by Maryland and Virginia organ
lied to assist police if necessary to
preserve order. Supplies of tear
gas bombs were issued to police in
Montgomery county, Maryland.
Officials of Cumberland, Md,
gave flat notice the marchers
would not be permitted to enter
that city Saturday night. They
said the order would be enforced
by use of arms if need be.
Police Chief Ernest w. Brown
made preparations for any con-
tingency here, but after a confer
ence with leaders of the march ex-
pressed belief that there would be
no trouble.
AT Browns recommendation the
District of Columbia commission
ers rescinded an order forbidding
the marchers to enter the city
Sunday as an organized body.
They promised that all contstitu-
tional rights would be observed.

was costing the world $5,OO0,OOO
per hour, and added:
"It will not profit a creditor
country to collect few million
pounds or dollars if it thereby per-
petuates a world disorder which,
reacting on itself, involves losses of
revenue many times greater"
Note Not Positive
With respect to the December
payment, London held that it could
pay only in gold and that the gold
supply of the Bank of England
was "no more than sufficient for
the responsibilities of London as a
financial center"
The note did not say positively
whether Britain would, or would
not, pay on December Is if con-
gress refuses to allow postpone
ment.
The British argument for reviS-
ion was based on the contention
that commerce and industry can
not be stimulated until the burden
of intergovernmental debts is lift
cd.
Further, London maintained, in
its own special case, that British
payments, amounting to 80 per
cent of the entire amount America
has received on war debts, entitled
it to apply for Lewiston with clean
hands.
The note indicated that if AM
erica insisted on payment the
British tariffs might have to be
raised to create a favorable trade
balance, thus hurting U. S. ex-
ports.
Despite Americas claim that war
debts and reparations are not con-
nected, the British held that, in
fact, they were. The note argued
that since the former allies had
freed Germany of reparations, they
could not pay their own debts on
the scale now established. If Am
erica insists on collecting war
debts, Britain warned, the Lau-
same reparations settlement can
not be ratified.

TRUSTEES Of
SCHOOL CITED

Judge Vaughn N. Thompson this
afternoon may be called upon to
decide the status of Mrs. Beulah
Abraham with reference to her po-
sition as a permanent teacher in
the Brawley elementary schools, as
the result of a hearing yesterday
and late today on her petition for
writ of mandate to reinstate her
as a teacher.
The matter went to trial yester-
day with S. l.. McCrory, deputy
district attorney, representing the
Brawley trustees, and w. E. Abra-
ham, Brawley attorney, appearing
for his wife.
1t is the contention of Mrs. Alb
raham that the trustees refused to
allow her to teach this year, in
spite of her standing as perman-
ent teacher. The trustees, on the
other hand, conteno that she re-
fused to sign a contract for this
school year, and thus lost her
standing as permanent teacher.
Abraham, as his wifes attorney,
holds to the contention that con-
tract is not necessary for PERM
anent teacher.
The entire affair, according to
evidence introduced yesterday be-
fore the hearing was continued un-
til this afternoon, had is begin
nings in salary reductions imposed
upon teachers in the Brawley
schools. Mrs. Abraham would not
sign the contract because her sal
ary would be less than that of last
year, according to witnesses for the
school district.
1t was denied that there was any
discrimination, since all teachers
received salary cuts.
Evidence was introduced that Mrs.
Abraham finally agreed to accept
the position of teacher at re-
duced salary.
