T.il wards. Third U. 8. Warship Attacked She was the third American warship to be fired at and the second to be hit by a torpedo since President Roosevelt order ed the navy Inst month to pur sue a policy of "shoot on sight" In taking all steps necessary to protect munitions shipments from the United States to Eng land. First target of a torpedo In tho north Atlantic was the de stroyer Greer, one of tho old type ships, 50 of which were traded to Britain a year ago. . Two torpedoes were fired at the Greer on September 4 by a German submarine. Both went wild. Then followed the attack on the destroyer Kearny while engaged In a night battle against a German submarine wolfpack which had attacked a convoy southwest of Iceland. Kearny of Sturdier Type The Kearny, a much larger Vessel than the Reuben James, had a displacement of 1,630 tons and carried a crew of about 190 officers and men. She was of much sturdier con structlon than the Reuben James having been completed and put Into service only last year. Unlike older types, the Kearny had a hull protected by the lat est nrmor and divided Into wa tertight compartments . It was this sort of construction, the navy department said only two days ago, which enabled the Kearny to remain afloat after suffering an explosion sufficient to have wrecked any destroyer previously so badly damaged. Tho Reuben James' comman der Lieutenant Commander Ed wards, 35, was descrlhed by the navy department as n native of San Saba, Tex. Although tho Reuben James Was 21 years old, she had been kept In continuous service since entering the fleet In 1020.

Fairhurst, secretary - treasurer, heads the concern, spotted an out let for a body of timber near Portland while flying a commer cial plane. Tho company pre viously had examined the timber but had rejected purchase be cause It was deemed Inaccessible, following ground examination. While flying over Die tract in an airliner, Mr. Fairhurst saw a very satisfactory outlet. He chartered1 a private plane for further ex amination, and a ground party later determined the route to be entirely feasible, Mr. Chase re- GLADDEN HER HEART with a new SINGER SEWING MACHINE FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT Nothing Can Equal It. 1 W.

Strike-Ridden Plant Is Seized by Government (Continued from page 1) mediate resumption of maximum production." 'I'Ue chief executive's statement declared that the Air Associates firm had "failed to carry out Its part" of recommendations made by the defense mediation board for settlement of the latest in a series of k-Ulkes at he plant. The board's most important recom mendation was for reinstatement of the striking CIO members in their old Jobs. This, Mr. Roose velt said, the company had refus ed to agree to do. Detroit .Strikers Return On another strike front, CIO United Automobile Workers re sumed production at the Kclscy Hayes Wheel company's machine gun plant near Detroit in re sponse to an appeal by a regional director, who said the walkout was hindering the defense pro gram. About 1,400 union members of the 1,500 employes struck Wed nesday, charging the company violated an agreement not to hire women for machine work until a policy on the matter had been ne gotiated. Wage differentials also were at issue. Senator Herring (DTa.l an nounced at Des Moines that he would sponsor legislation provid ing the union membership not be required as "a condition of em ployment on defense work." He said he would not attempt to ab rogate existing agreements but wished to "freeze" the present situation in respect to tho closed shop. The defense mediation board assembled to consider the union shop dispute Involving 53,000 min ers in the "captive" coal pits of four states. Meanwhile the CIO United Mine Workers who had hecn on strike since Monday began return ing to their jobs under a 17-day truce arranged in Washington. Handicap of Clouds to Face Roseburg "Raiders" (Continued from page IV mediately to their designated sta tions. What to do In Blackout The "blackout" signal from a siren will he given about five minutes before the planes reach the city. At this signal all lights are to be extinguished or win dows blanketed to prevent escape of light; traffic both in town and on the highway is to be halted and car lights turned off; pedes trians are to remain stationary, refrain from crossing streets and must not show-lights of any kind. The defense council urges par ents to keep children Indoors and particularly to keep them off the streets, as defense vehicles, with blackout headlights will bo in operation and pedestrian traffic will be endangered. The blackout period Is not ex pected to exceed 15 minutes in duration and will be ended by an "all clear" signal In the form of a prolonged blast of the whistle. Flares Harmless If the bombers succeed in reaching the city, they will drop a number of flares. These flares will burst with a mild explosion and will create a brilliant light. In similar raids held elsewhere, the local council Is Informed, some persons have been frighten ed by the explosion of the flares, believing them to be real bombs. Assurance is given that there Is no danger connected with the flares, which will In nearly all cases burn out before reaching the ground. Warning also is given that de fense problems will continue aft er the blackout and vehicles con nected with defense units will bo in operation on tho street. E. R. Walton, executive officer, has prepared a number of problems in which certain areas of the city will theoretically be damaged by bombs, fires started, casualties caused, etc., to give each of the defense organizations practice in methods of operation. A confer ence will be held at headquarters following the test to check on er rors and determine the degree of efficiency in the defense set-up. Hundreds of local volunteer workers will engage In the prac tice and the fullest possible civilian cooperation is urged by tho county defense council. BLACKOUT COOPERATION URGED BY GOV. SPRAGUE SALEM, Oct. ' 31 (AP) Gov ernor Sprague appealed today to western Oregon residents to make tonight's blackout a suc cess. "I hope everyone lends a hand because tho success of this exer cise depends on the cooperation of the citizens," he said. Defense coordinator Jerrold Owen said he believed that the bombers would fly regardless of weather. The main flight of bombers will begin at Medford about 8 p. m., flying north and reaching Portland shortly after 10 p. m. A flight of six bombers will enter Oregon in the south from the Pacific ocean, flving north from Myrtle Point to Portland. The bombers, which will circle each city for five or ten minutes and which also will drop flares, will fly at about 7,000 feet. They have a split-second schedule that is a closely guarded secret. New Tax Plan Dwarfs Total Set by Last Law (Continued from page 1) breaking $3,500,000,000 tax law just passed by congress. To Ban Inflation Tho $6,000,000,000 program arose from estimates prepared by various federal economists that to prevent inflation the government should Immobilize between $5,000,000,000 and $8, 000,000,000 of new purchasing power money people are mak ing now through Increased wages or from new jobs as a re sult of the defense program that they didn't make a year or two ago. The figure of $6,000,000,000 is an arbitrary guess within the range of these estimates and Is being used for convenience by certain officials as a measure of the job ahead of them. They don't know yet where or how they are going to get the $6,000,000,000. But they are thinking of getting anywhere from $1,000,000,000 to $3,000,000, 000 of it from increased social se curity taxes. They hope to get another amount within about the same range from regular taxes. That may leave a sizable chunk of money to be "mopped up" Secretary Morgenthau's term for it by other methods. Huge Deficit Faced In the current fiscal year, the treasury expects a deficit of $12, 583,000,000 on Its budget of $24, 581,000,000. One of the Import ant sources of borrowing to meet this deficit is social security taxes. Social security taxes go direct y into the old-age reserve fund, but are immediately borrowed by the treasury in substantially the same way the treasury borrows from banks and other investors by the sale of securities. Some officials estimate that the treas ury could borrow as much as $5,000,000,000 a year from social security if the taxes are raised. At present, social security lends Ithe treasury about $1,000,000,000 a year. Morgenthau explained that social security taxes were being considered in conjunction with regular taxes and borrowing. He put it this way: "My first joo is to unance uic nntinnnl riofnnsp nroeram. We get as much as we can from regu lar taxes, men we nave 10 Dor row the rest, and any move we can make that will help must be considered."
