'Love Swindler' Failed In Portland Wooing PORTLAND, June 30. UP) Police reported that Siemund En- gel, held in Chicago as a "love swindler," had a candidate here once: A wealthy i'ortlana land lady. But she resisted his wooing, they said, particularly after it was interrupted by his arrest in a Seattle grand larceny warrant. The warrant accused him of van ishing with an enraptured wom an's SSt0. It was in 1944, police said, when they learned that Engel was woo ing the Portlander with brilliant descriptions of a future In which she would always ride in taxis, have a maid, and never touch dishwater. , Police described a five-page FBI record on Engel, which in cludes arrests in Austria and In Germany. The latter one In 1923 is the masterpiece: A notation by Scotland Yard said he was not prosecuted because he fled with the records. when action speaks louder than words, ana tnis is one oi tnem. Indeed, the Muscovites under stand action better than words. The current action gets added emphasis lrom the fact that it h being carried out by four Impor tant members of the Atlantic Treaty. From the military standpoint, the air and naval exercises are V Air, Naval Exercises About Britain Point To Joint Defense In Real War DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst More than 100 warships British, French, Dutch and Belgian are assembling in Penzance Bay, on England's West Coast, for naval exercises. , . . These operations are purely defensive, aimed at aggression from any quarter. The International aspect of this fleet in peacetime maneuvers probably Is unique. Meantime British, American and Dutch warplanes are waging i over Britain a mock war which Is designated as "Operation Foil." Its purpose is to test John Bull's defenses against an attack with atom bombers from any quar ter. Here again the International aspect is unique. This is Britain's first major test against atom bombs. The sec ond day of the operation London (which suffered so terribly from bombing during the late war) was "saved" by the defensive air fleet, though several midland and coastal cities suffered "ex tensive damage." The official referees withheld comment on this, but the British defensive forces were jubilant. These two operations are being carried out without blare of trumpet, although they comprise a historic event. There is no com ment from the governments con cerned as to the meaning. The event is left to speak for itself, and broadly it does. However, we shouldn't dismiss it lightly. Two Purposes Served The exercises seem to be cal culated to serve two important purposes: (1) They present an advertisement to the determina tion of the western democracies to stand together defensively: (2) They provide invaluable de fensive experience. The operations presumably are In part a gesture toward Mos cow. Their international aspect serves notice that the Atlantic Pact Is more than a piece of pa per. Russia of course expects, the pact to be put into operation and implemented, but there are times Oberlin College in northeastern Ohio was the first American col lege to adopt co-education.
