DANUBE STATES EXPECT PARLEY 0 BUILD AMITY Looking Forward, Hoping for Much Good at Lausanne Conference VIENNA, June 6—The Danube portation were provided by Dr. R.|States look forward to the Lau-} |sanne Reparations Conference as |an opportunity for the long-delay- ed materialization of a Franco- |German rapproachement, rather than a cash conference directly affecting government budgets All these countries, however, are decidedly interested in the possi- |bility of a Franco-German under- |standing. They are unanimous in the opinion that there is slim hope for a general recovery in South- eastern Europe until the great |powers agree among themselves. Jugoslavia, however, is in no mood to surrender her stake in reparations payments, which this year would amount to nearly $20,- 000,000. She protested vigorously against the Hoover moratorium and feels that her objections were rather brutally ignored. Switch Indicated These reports were seized upon by some observers as indicating a iswitch from French influence in the Little Entente, made up of | Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugo- |slavia. The attitude of Czechoslo- vakia toward the Tardieau scheme for Danubian cooperation also was widely interpreted as evidence of a swing away from French leader- |ship. Even more interesting to those \who think the Little Entente breaking away from France W an editorial in the Government pa- |per in Bucharest ascribed to the |pen of Prime Minister Jorga. It deplored a lately “materialistic trend” in Europe which inclined |to “saddle Rumania with obliga- 'tions incompatible with her dignity |and interests.” 1 | ment and resulted in a second edi- |torial, stressing that the first edi- |torial wasn't an attack on a French 'financial mission then in Bucharest, but merely as disapproval of any lan to restore the Austro-Hun- |garian empire,” New Relief GRAHAM BOUND | This provoked considerable com- ' OVER TO GRAND JURY SATURDAY | Held on Ba—n—l:‘Robbery Charge — Bail Is Fixed at $10,000 by Sey C.

HOUSE COMPLETES ACTION WASHINGTON, June 6. — The House adopted the compromise bil- lion dollar revenue bill with shouts of “ayes” late last Saturday after- noon and a few minutes later the Senate gave unanimous consent to begin considering the measure by noon today. Leaders of both parties con= fidently predicted last Saturday | night the gigantic tax raising leg- islation will be in the hands of President Hoover by tonight. The bipartisan drive to put the Government on a paying basis next year continued with accelerated momentum as the Senate approved a 10 per cent cut in civilian em- ployees’ salaries over $1,000 a year after repeatedly voting down ef- forts to make the exemption larger. The revenue bill retains the tar- iffs on oil, coal, lumber and cop- per, the highly controversial points during the preliminary skirmishes. As they were inserted by the Sen- ate Committee there seems to be no doubt they will be retained in the bill. The bill in general might be subjected to some debate in the upper House during today.
