A special committee to direct
the activities of the Oregon Pa

county budgets can be formed to
Include appropriations that will
make possible the employment of
a paid secretary, was authorized
by the association's directors at
the meeting held here Monday.
Carl Rynearson, Cottage Grove,
has been serving as executive
secretary and has spent several
months in Washington, where he
has been representing the organi
zation in connection with recent

federal appropriations for pri
mary military routes.
The association's funds have
been exhausted, It was announc
ed, and the various county courts
reported that their budget allow
ances had been used and that
further appropriations were not
available.
The need for continued effort
to present the cause of the Pa
cific highway as vital to national
defense was stressed, but, as it
was felt impossible to continue
to provide a paid employee it
was decided to turn the work
over to a committee which will

Will Ask for Price
Control Legislation
WASHINGTON, July 29.
(AP) President Roosevelt will
ask congress for price control
legislation in a message tomor
row, congressional leaders re
ported today after a conference
with the chief executive.
"There was a general discus
sion of the legislative program,
including price fixing," said Sen
ate Majority Leader Barkley,
"and the president will send his
message to congress on that sub
ject tomorrow."
A final draft of legislation has
not yet been completed, Barkley
said, but there Is complete agree
ment on the general policy which
the measure will embrace.
The price control measure Is to
provide legislative sanction for
activities already undertaken by
the government to keep the de

prices beyond reasonable levels.
Germans Claim Sinking
Of 19 British Ships
BERLIN, July 29. (AP) The
German high command an
nounced tonight that German
submarines had sunk 19 ships
totaling 116,500 tons from a Brit
ish convoy in the Atlantic while
fighting "for days" against
strong British protecting fortes.
"German submarines again
have scored a great success in
the buMc of the Atlantic," said a
special communique from Adolf
Hitler's headquarters on the Rus
sian front.
"Hard pressed by destroyers,
corvettes, submarine traps and
auxiliary cruisers, for days they
fought a British convoy and sank
a total of 19 steamers amounting
to 116.500 tons.
"Furthermore, of the protect
ing units, they destroyed one de
stroyer and one corvette,"
An earlier announcement indi

Eden Forecasts a
Peace Blitz Coming
Foreign Secretary Scorns
Any Offers to be Made by
Nazi Government as False
LONDON, July 29. (API-
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
again rejecting any thought of
peace with Hitler, today looked
forward to a day when tasks of
reconstruction will confront Eu
rope and said Britain hoped for
United States aid then, as now,
"in keeping, through the genera
tions, the peace , we fjhall have
won.
Addressing a foreign press as
sociation luncheon, Eden warned
the world that although Hitler's
time table in Russia is badly off
schedule, a "peace blitz" will soon
be offered the world.
The proposals, he said "will
promise many things to many
people, perhaps even liberation
to some of the occupied coun
tries, maybe restoration of
France to her place ;as a great
power, recognition Indeed per
haps guarantees of the British
empire. Germany, we shall be
told, will be ready as a good
neighbor and a good European
to cooperate in the restoration of
trade."
But, he declared, Hitler's peace
terms would mean "every nation
would have to remain at its war
stations."
"Such an offer in itself should
suffice to warn us, for few in
deed are the nations that have
survived a Hitler guarantee of
their integrity. His enmity is less
dangerous than his friendship."
Although he said Britain and
her allies do not propose after
winning the war to cause Ger
many or any other country to
collapse economically, he de
clared that "In the military
sphere it is our bounden duty to
Insure that Germany Is not again
in another 20 years in a position
to plunge the world into the
misery and horror of total war.

East Heat Wave
Break Is Forecast
(By the Associated Press)
A break in the death-producing
humid heat wave was forecast to
day by the Chicago weather bu
reau. Forecaster G. L. Canaday said
barometric pressure was rising
in Canada, Nortli Dakota and ex
treme northwestern Minnesota.
As this "high" develops, he ex
plained, It will expand in size and
send cooling breezes into the
sweltering midlands. Accompany
ing showers were likely.
A drop in temperature of 15 to
20 degrees was expected In the
".kotas and Minnesota today,
and similar relief progressing
slowly over the rest of the north
central district tonight, tomorrow
and tomorrow night.
Canaday said cooler weather
should reach the Chicago area
tomorrow night. It will move on
eastward through the Ohio valley
Thursday or Friday.
Today It was slightly cooler In
the Dakotas, Nebraska and north
west Minnesota but the 90-plus
weather remained in the rest of
the plains states, west gulf states
and from there eastward except
in New England.
Morning weather bureau re
ports showed that areas in New
York state and Pennsylvania
which were cooled by showers
yesterday were warming up
again. Canaday said even New
England, where the heat broke
with showers yesterday, would
steam up again before the new
break reached there the end of
the week.
The season's worst hot spell has
taken 273 lives, 137 by heat pros
tration and 136 by drowning.
Nine northern states had read

Churchill Warns
Of Trouble Soon
(invasion Season Near Says
frime Minister; Holds
Hope in Atlantic Battle
LONDON, July 29. (API
Prime Minister Winston Chur
chill warned Britain today of the
possibility of a German invasion
attempt in September, rejected
demands for appointment of a
minister of war production and
spoke "with considerable regret"
of the severance of diplomatic
rl(itions .with nazl assoclatcd
Finland.
"The Invasion season Is at
hand," he said. "All arnied
forces have been warned toi be
at concert pitch by Sept. i. mid
to maintain the, utmost vigil
ance."
The prime minister cautioned
the nation to "be on gtltird equal
ly against pessimism and optim
ism," but said the li ltlsh people
should be heartened liy "the mag
nificent strengtliUnd courage of
Russia and by tlfe atlllude of the
United States, vhich, he said,
"is advancing In rising wrath
and convictiait to the very verge
of war." A
Churchill'dcclared that the bat
tle of the Atlantic, "although far
from bping won, has partly
through American Intervention
moved Impressively In our
favor,."
Other credits on the British
war ledger, he said, were the
breaking of German air super
iority and the reduced number
of luftwaffe attacks on England.
Worst Not Over
"But the worst Is not over,"
he added. "The vast mass of de
structive munitions which they
(the Germans) have made or
captured, the courage, skill and
audacity of their striking forces,
the ruthlessness of their central
ized war direction . . .' the re
sources of many lands which
may to some extent become avail
able to them forbid the slight
est relaxation.
He added that "it is madness
to suppose that Russia or the
United States Is going to win the
war for us."
Churchill declared that parlia
mentary and press demands for
a coordinator or minister of pro
duction would be Ignored, and he
deplored careless criticism of
British Industries for lis effect
abroad, particularly In the Unit
ed States and Australia.
"In the United States," he 'said,
"where there Is a vigorous cam
paign against the policy pursued
by the president, I fear that
harm has been done and It can
not be easily overtaken or
healed."

Russian counter-attacks against
Adolf Hitler's Invading legions
were reported today to have
spread to all major sectors of
the front In one of the greatest
battles of all time. Soviet atmos
phere was one of calm confi
dence. Germans are still trying to
push forward, particularly in the
Smolensk sector of the central
zone, military observers said, but
both there and in the. Zhitomir
region of the Ukraine are "break
ing against the firmness and
stubbornness" of the defenders.
Nazi losses were described as
heavy.
Authoritative advices as late as
yesterday said that the battered
rail and highway center of Smo
lensk, 230 miles west of the so
viet capital, was still In Russian
hands after 12 days of bitter
fighting.
A modified form of trench
warfare was reported In the

resistance by digging in along
temporary hollows, ti-ylng to

Clark, one of a senate group

offer legislation to carry out his
theory.
