12. (AP) President Roosevelt
pushed deep Into Ohio today to
spruce up bis knowledge of "how
this great defense program of ours
Is going," ns n prelude to a radio
address to nil the western hemis
phere on preparedness.
He was to speak at 1ayton to
night at C p. in.. Pacific standard
time, over all domestic networks
and by short wave to ln'tin Amer
ica. In a grave period of war and
world chaos he selected Columbus
day to amplify, aides said, the
theme of "all for one and one for
al" In inter-Ameiican relations and
to report on what his own country
Is doing lo mako itself invulner
able. The, Immediate background of
the address was a tour 6f defense
facilities -in Pennsylvania - ami
Ohio.
More Speed Urged
Concluding the first phase of a
two-day trip Into the neighbor
slates at Akron. O., last night, the
president bespoke confidence that
"we shall be able to avoid being
brought into war through attack bv
somebody else on the Americas."
He added, however, to thousands of
persons packed around his train at
the station, "but I also believe, and
I think most of you do too. that the
best way to avoid an a Hack is to be
ready to meet one."
That Is why. Mr. Roosevelt said,
he had told foremen and workers In
steel plants turning out defense or
ders at Pittsburgh. Pa., and
Youngstown. ().. "that the one
thing we all ought to work for in
speeding up this program Is more
speed."

In Umpqua Forest

of the most successful fire seasons
of Its history, the Umpu.ua National
forest suffered but Htuull loss from
tho 31 fires chalked up during the
current season, according to V. V.
Ilarpbam. forest supervisor. Of the
:tl fires which occurred, 23 were
caused by lightning, ami only eight
were man-caused.
"This shows," said Mr. Harpham,
"that people are becoming more
alive to the value of tho forests and
their contribution to the social ami
economic well-being of adjoining
communities. The fact that only
eight fires were mnn-eaused, and
therefore preventable. Indicates
that tho forest-going public is more
and more cultivating safe smoking
habits while in the woods, and is
using more care in extinguishing
campfircs, for these two causes
have been the worst offenders in
past years."
Appreciation was expressed by
Hie supervisor for the wbolehcart
ed cooperation of all forest users iu
helping to prevent fires from start
ing, as it was only the support and
help of everyone that made this
year's enviable record possible, he
said.
A total of 21 acres of forest land
was burned over, but of this area
10 acres was cutover land, wilh
only 11 acres of lands actually
