Portland Detective Tellj
Chamber That Is Vay
to Defend Nation "
'iAny man or women, alien or
otherwise, , In this country -who
becomes obligated to the provi
' lions of the communistic program
- should be barred forever in par
, tlcipating In privileges of Ameri
can citizenship. Waiter Bj OdaJer
Portland : police detective," told
the Salem' chamber of commerce
yesterday in a factual recital of
subversive elements aimed at de
struction of democratic govern-?
ment la this country. He prefaced
' bta. remarks with statement that
they were wHhoot political or per
sonal bull:-?,i i ,
Odale pointed to i two under
mining groups, ; communists con
trolled from Moscow and j fascist
oasts, whose claims to true Amerl
can way would best be proved by
dissolution of their organizations
- In. this country-, and renewal of
allegiance to the United States. -
Communists Still Communists j
The so-called Americanization
of the communists Is merely talk,
and: in actuality communism has
not deviated from its basic revo
lutionary purpose, the detective
declared, offering communistic
literature to prove his point.
. iie pouted out tnat tne com-
munlstic party was organised ' in
this country In 1911 as branch of
the Internationale and today num
bers SOO to 800 organizations,
though few are named so' that
they wilt be quickly Identified as
communistic. Through this latter
guise, many professional peoples
are drawn into the ranks of com
munism ' wit no knowledge that
this is happening, he Indicated.
Reasons for Alertness ,
Odale outlined Teasons ! why , he
believes every American; citizen
should "be alert against commun
ism' as a. subversive element: First,
teachings make members of - the
party full time agents of a foreign
government and therefore in con
flict with laws qf this land and
potential subjects of police action;
second, insidious work among the
children of the land teaching that
family relationship means nothing.-
particularly through the com
munistic league which is endeav
- orlng to establish ' a chapter of
the American Student Union in
every school; and finally the un
der cover method of working.
: Many otherwise fine Americans
ridicule the menace of commun
ism in this country without realis
ing that In so doing they give the
enemy a chance, the speaker Indi
cated. He divided this group Into
the sincere persons who really be
lieve there la no menace and to
the Indirect supports of commun
ism who hope to see all constitu
tional forms of.government over
thrown. . '- ;
; He pointed out that communism
Is a breeder, of fascism and that
no real American wants either la
this country and lastly that
neither philosophy offers any prac
tical solution for the problems of
this country. ' r ;..

National Chamber
WASHINGTON, May
Hostility between the adminis
tration and the United States
chamber of commerce was em
phasized anew today when Har
ry L. Hopkins, secretary of com
merce, declared' the chamber
was not representative of bust
ness. In striking back at the cham
ber, which passed - last week , a
series of resolutions critical of
administration policy, Hopkins
also called for at least 12 more
months of heavy federal spend
In. : -
The chamber resolutions had
demanded a reduction of spend
ing, repeal of the wage-hour
law, fundamental changes la the
Wagner labor act and tax re
vision. , j
Hopkins made It plain, too; that
whatever was done for business,
there would be no abandonment
of what the administration con
siders vital economic policy.

River Trip I3
Not Uneventful
Putt Patting to Portland
-Easy; Tronblet Start -Before
Trip Back
,
A boat trip to Portland In per
fect order may have Its sequel on
the return trip, as Don .Madison
and.' Les WWtehouse of this city
found out on their weekend Jaunt.
Madison's four-place outboard
motor boat took them to Portland
in 1 hours, not counting 45 min
utes spent going through the locks
at Oregon City. There they met
their wives.-' and aU went weu vn-
tit they started homeward early
Sunday afternoon.
Alter a cruise around the har
bor, wlta the chief Interlude here
a hitch-hiked ride on a boat that
cut the waters at 42 miles an hour,
they started back to their car,
parked a the end of the SeHwood
bridge. u : , - ;
Things started when they found
the car. though left locked, had
been ransacked. Madison's suit
and Mrs. Whitehouse's coin purse
were chief Items missing.
While IXadison went to put in a
call to the Portland police, Mrs.
Madison and Mrs. Whltehouse
sauntered op the railroad track
near the bridge. They hadn't cone
far,! when their unbelieving eyes
lighted on the missing suit. Near
by sat a man. ,-. p;-'-'' r L
. The women returned to the car
and reported their find. One of
the men rushed back to hurry the
police, not in sight yet though the
first call had gone out 15 minutes
before. --
,-j Suit Is Recovered
And to make a long story short,
the suit was recovered; the prob-
able.thlet boarded a bus with Mad
isou stalling it -for time in hope
the police would arrive, for Mad
ison was unable to hold the man
because he had not actually seen
aim with the goods ; - and in all
four phone calls were made to the
Portland police during the epi
sode. Even , two cans- reporting
that the supposed thief was cor
nered failed to hurry the law in
this Instance. A
In fact. Madison admits he al
ways gets hot under the collar
when he thinks of the fruitless
appeals. But he absolves the of
fice, because state police, called
as a final resort said they had
heard the broadcast of the first
three calls to the patrolmen on
that beat.
And to add Insult to injury.
darkness overtook the men on the
boat trip home and they got lost,
in a manner of speaking. The de
layed start and a longer time go
ing over the locks than anticipa
ted helped the night get in its lit
tle laugh.
Land In Darkness
Unable to see the, signs along
the river channel, they got oft the
mala course, and behind rip rap-;
ping. Back In the mafn waters
again, the motor stalled after they
had coasted over a bar. More time
lost while they tried to coax the
motor hack to life, and finally
complete darkness. They tied the
boat to a snag, made their way up
a steep bank and into a berry
patch. A quarter mile away they
discorered a light and found it to
come from the Pearcy farm about
nine miles north of Salem.
Pearcy lent them a truck to
come to town and needless to
say two anxious wives were on
hand when they drove up to the
boat landing south of the Marlon
Polk bridge.
Early Monday morning they re
turned the truck and went to get
the boat, the engine of which
started like a charm. Which puts
an end to the yarn, for the last
nine miles were navigated without
excitement.

Ichang today,12 planes dropping
60 bombs on the Important Yangtze-
river city midway between
Hankow,' the old Chinese provi
sional capital, and Chungking, the

The invaders also continued atH
tacks on eastern coastal cities la

A. - Japanese spokesman in
Shanghai warned that both mili
tary and non-military objective
in any cities where troops are
stationed are likely to to be raid
ed from the air.
The spokesman said that the
Japanese considered the presence
of .troops to a city sufficient cause
for bombing all parts of that city,

ed that for this reason the bomb
ing of the civilian sections of
Chungking and other cities was
"Juetified." 1

Beek Avers Iches
Hits Late Chief
Dismissed Engineer ) Says
Iekea Holdi Challenge
Until After Death
. PORTLAND, Ore. May 8
fP) Interior secretary Harold
I c k e s - has "challenged"! the
power ' politics of the late I Bon
neville Dam administrator, J. D.
Ross. R. V7. Beck, deposed chief
electrical engineer of the project
charged yesterdry. r
Beck, nssertlng Ickes "tired"
him Saturday, said la a state
ment Mmy only conclusion Is
that Mr. Ickes - now (challenges
the power policies of J. D. Ross.
mi thing, he did not dare to do
nor was . he big enough : to do
while Mr. Ross waa, alive." (
The engineer said ! Ickes ac4
ensed him in ar interchange of
telegrams of insubordination for
giving a newspaper interview In
which a previously unpublished
letter from Ross was included.
Ross determination to use ue
gotiations to the utmost extent
before resorting to . condemna
tion proceedings in obtaining
certain private utilities facilities
for public districts and the gov
ernment was outlined in the let
ter. Beck said. j
Agencies Held Too Small 1
Prior to Ickes' rebuke tor) the
Interview, Beck asserted he gave
many similar stories on the sub
ject which, was "a I matter of
fixed policy, both with Mr. Ross
and the Bonneville project until
his death." I
Beck added that although nu
merous public power districts
and. municipalities wanted to ac
quire . distribution systems to
handle Bonneville power, t h j
amount required by those al
ready organised would be "piti
fully small."
"Throughout the entire north
west, Bonneville cannot, before
the end of. 1940. hope to sell
more then 10,000 kilowatts of
power-, to public agencies who
now nave - distributions. Beck
said. -
His statement was based oa
the fact that the Bonneville act
reserving power to public bodies
expires at the end of 1940 and
condemnation proceedings would
slow up acquisitions of trans
mission lines, Beek said.
