"We must fight for our independence to the last shred of our material and physical strength. And the world should know that if we are to have peace. We do not want war with anybody but there must be no foreign soldier on-or over- our soil." 2.

"The greatest assurance from aggression against us is preparedfor defense. We must spected not only for our justice but for our strength." 3. "We should limit our arms solely to repel aggression against the western hemisphere." 4. "We must preserve our neutrality." "We should not engage ourselves to use military force in endeavor to prevent or end other people's wars." Sanctions Opposed 5.

The one meeting was held at Ash Swale and the other at Lake creek, both well attended, according to County Agent Floyd C. Mullen, who presided. Speakers at the meetings were' J. C.

Chamberlin and K. W. Gray, Oregon State college entomologists, who advised border dusting with a .75 per cent Rotenone dust. The recommendation was explained with the statement that the pea weevil larvae hibernate in fence rows rather than in cultivated fields, and that the proper time and place for dusting is along borders of fields about 1, or when the first pods appear on the pea vines. It is only upon the pods that the weevil flies lay their eggs, speakers said, and dusting at the time the pods start forming has proven the most effective control measurers were advised not to burn vines, but to plow the vines under to a depth of six inches or more, at which depth, it was stated, the weevils will die.

Early removal of harvested seeds to fumigation was also advised to prevent escape of the weevil from infested seeds. Application of dust at the rate of from 20 to 25 pounds an acre was recommended. The estimated cost is $2.70 an acre. Special dusting equipment is available. County Agent Mullen based loss estimates upon a 20 per cent decrease in seed germination and an 8 per cent fumigation cost of infested seed.

Reed Nominated To High Court By Roosevelt Solicitor General Choice For Place Vacated By Sutherland Washington, Jan. 15. (U.P)-President Roosevelt today nominated the United solicitor, the supreme Stanley Reed, general of court justiceship left vacant by retirement of Justice George Sutherland.

The president submitted the nomination of Reed 1 to the senate move, as the recommendation had not been expected before Tuesday when Sutherland formally steps down from the bench. Nominee New Deal Veteran Reed is a 53-year-old veteran of new deal legal battles before the high tribunal. Upon him has fallen the burden of defending the government in repeated challenges before the supreme court of legislation enacted by Mr. Roosevelt's administration. Reed's nomination was laid on the desk of Vice-President John N.

Garner at the opening of the senate session. Unlike the nomination of Associate Justice Hugo L. Black, the nomination was on a typewritten sheet rather than a regular, Su- preme court nomination blank. Black's name had been written in by the president in a large, firm hand while Reed's name was typewritten. Close Scrutiny Due The senate had met an hour earlier than usual to consider the anti-lynching bill but there was only a meager attendance when the nomination was disclosed.

As Solicitor General Reed rected the legal defense of the government before the supreme court and repeatedly had been suggested as a likely nominee to a high court vacancy.

Roosevelt Expected Modify Holding Company Edict; Definition Lack Bothers Washington, Jan. Conser- vative new deal advisers believed today that President Roosevelt would modify his strong stand against holding companies to avoid industrial and congressional backfire and to foster further business against the economic co-operation with rEovernment Railroads and banks appeared most in jeopardy of holding company legislation designed by Mr. Roosevelt to decentralize control over industry and finance.

Any administration assault on the holding company principle would involve congressional opposition which failed by only a single vote in 1935 to defeat in the senate the limited death sentence posed for public utilities holding companies. Reaction Mixed Congressional reaction was ed, ranging from the statement of Sen. Robert J. Bulkley, D. that Naval Expansion Message Due Monday, Tuesday Washington, Jan.

15. -President Roosevelt probably will to congress Monday or Tuesday of next week his special message calling for a naval expansion program, Secretary of the Navy Claude Swanson said today after a White House conference.

It was understood that the special message would ask for increases in both fighting and auxiliary type ships. One unconfirmed report was that two more battleships will be requested in addition to the two now under construction and two already provided for in the navy budget.

15. (Special)Faced with the threat that he would be prevented from securing materials if he failed to restrict employes on the local PWA school building project to members of building trades unions, Tom Lillebo, contractor, has announced that he to the union's demands. The announcement followed a mass meeting here Monday night, attended, by local citizens, to discuss the labor question, which was forced when J. Henry, union organizer. came here last week and attempted to sign up local building trades workers, threatening to picket the project unless nonunion workers were excluded.

At the meeting it was stated by local speakers that the school bonds were voted with the understanding the local labor would be given preference. Local workers protested that they could not pay the required $40 initiation fee and subsequent dues, in addition to the cost of going to Salem semi-monthly to attend meetings. One plasterer said that if he were employed he would receive only about $140 for his work. With union charges deducted, he said, he would have little left. A carpenter declared that if he joined the union and was forced to remain idle for a few days while on the school job he could not cept local work in the community unless he charged the union wage scale, which is above the local prevailing wage, and which, he com- him plained, would probably bar from employment.

His alternative, he said, would be ejection the union and consequent disbarment from the school job. Henry said that 'materials delivered by truck from Salem would be delivered by union truck drivwho would refuse to drive ers through a picket line. D. D. Dotson, Salem, ing the Oregon state ment service, read the labor preference provisions, which give to the contractor the option of operating the job as union or nonunion.

In any event, he explained, relief labor will receive preference, if the job were unionized, he said, union labor on relief will receive preference, to be furnished from union hiring agencies, while if operated as non-union the relief labor will be furnished through the state unemployment service. Lillebe, who was also at the meeting, is reported to have elected to operate the Harrisburg high school project, also a PWA job, as non-union.

I've found that the actors that've stayed on top the longest here in Hollywood are those who, had the courage to be themselves. I'll never forget an editorial I read in a little Kansas paper, one time, written by the editor himself. It said "I have been criticized quite a little by some of the town smart alecks for usin' poor grammar. Now I've got three good reasons for this. In the first placedon't know no better; second, half of you wouldn't understand it if did use it; if I did speak and write correctly.

I might be some big New York paper at a large salary, and you farmers would lose the best editor ip Graham county." he "never could see any justification for holding companies," to the tart remark of Sen. Alva B. Adams, that "if we want economic anarchy, why not go further and do away with all corporations." Sen. Royal S. Copeland, N.

another conservative, suggested the time was propitious to encourage industry rather than further regulate it. Some of Mr. Roosevelt's congressional supporters appeared to be confused and disappointed by his coincident plans to cooperate with business and abolish all holding companies in the economic structure. Definition Real Puzzle There is no evidence that Mr. Roosevelt's forthcoming message asking legislation dealing with monopoly will propose any such far reaching attack on holding companies as he discussed yesterday at his regular press conference.

If such' a proposal is contained in the message there will be another congressional battle like last judiciary reorganization engagement a similar split among Democrats and another severe jolt to the party of'ganization. A government drive for decentralization of industrial and financial control is coming up, in the opinion of observers, but they doubt that it will be in his session. J. W.
