"Of course, there Isn't much chance that Oregon, outside of Portland and the lower Colum bia river areas, will be bombed. That, is why the airplane spot ters will be more needed than the other volunteers. "Government officials said they could see no reason why Oregon should have a state guard. We do plan, however, to rely on a reinforced state police to deal with emergencies."

Dissolution of the union was announced by E. N. Wightman, treasurer, who accused the CIO International Woodworkers of America of "maneuvering" through the national labor rela tions board for a scries of elec tions In which ballots provided only for n choice of the CIO or no union. The probability that workers would accept the CIO rather than abandon representation prompted the dissolution, he said. ; Approximately 1000 IEU mem-! bers already have switched to the AFL. Wightman added. ! The IEU was established in tho j Willamette valley and western I pine regions on April 29, 1937, af- j ter federal legislation outlawing j employer employe combinations , forced suspension or tne Loyai Legion of Loggers and.

Willkle Backs President There was no slackening, meanwhile, In the nationwide dis cussion and appraisal of the presi dent's fireside chat. Wendell L. Wlllkie, the republi can standard bearer In last No vember's election, said Mr. Roose velt "has stirred the whole world with his ereat messaee." He in-,. ed everyone In a statement last night to rally behind the presi dent who, he said, now has It in his nower "to unite thn uhni country in the singleness of ef- ion ana resolve wnicn along can make his vision come true." Senator Wheeler (D.-Mont.), tart administration critic, accused the president of "preaching fear" and said the speech "echoed the sentiments of our warmakers." Addressing an America First committee rally at Indianapolis, Wheeler called on Mr. Roosevelt "to reassert his repeated prom ises not to send American boys to fight and die on foreign soil In a foreign war." f Japan Thought Wavering Responsible legislators said to day there is a growing belief In administration circles that .Ja pan's adherence to tho axis soon may weaken, and they cited as evidence President Roosevelt's virtual omission in his fireside chat of any discussion of Ameri ca's problems in tho Pacific. This belief, reported to be en tertained in high quarters, was said to bo based on Information that business interests apparently were gaining influence in the To kyo government and might event ually prevail over the military party which led Japan into the war with China and Into the axis alliance. The president made only brief references to the Pacific In Ills address Tuesday. He mentioned aid to China, but nothing else be yond the assertion that the dicta torships were organizing a sys tem which might be used to force enslaved peoples to build "a na val and air force intended to gain and hold and be master of the At lantic and the Pacific as well."
