CIVILIAN DEFENSE PLANS

Thousands of Oregon citizens
will be enrolled in civilian de
fense activities as Governor
Sprague's civilian defense coun
cil, to he appointed in a few days,
can enlist them, Budget Director
David Eeeles said today on his
return from Washington, D. C.
"The most Important activity
as far as Oregon Is concerned
will be the airplane spotters,"
Eccles said, "although we also
will enroll volunteers whose Job
will be to extinguish fire bombs,
fight fires, give first aid to In
jured civilians, and to perform
other war jobs.
"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."

DEFENSE BOARD ASKS
END OF LUMBER STRIKE
WASHINGTON, May 29.
(API- The defense mediation
board today cited President
Roosevelt's proclamation of un
limited national emergency In
calling for striking CIO lumber
workers in the Pacific northwest
"as patriotic citizens" In return to
work.
The board's appeal was made
to the International Woodwork
ers of America (CIO) who had
advised the board that their rep
resentatives had "rejected unani
mously" a board proposal for
temporary settlement o( their dis
pute pending a report of a fact
finding commission.
About 12.000 men, working In
52 lumber camps in the Pugel
Sound area, are on strike in the"
dispute which Involves, among
other things, a union demand for,
a flat wage Increase of 71 cents

PORTLAND, Ore., May 29
(AP) The career of the Indus

ed yesterday with a plea by the
board of directors that, its u',000
members loin the AFL lumber
and sawmill workers' unions.
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

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."
