Russia With England and
. France Should Give
Dictators Pause
A triple entente of England,
Franc and , Russia -will mean
suicide to Germany or Italy if
they start war, Prof. R. I -an
Loveall of Willamette . univer-
slty told ' the chamber of ' com
merce luncheon gathering Mon
day in an addresi on latest de
velopments In the European pic
ture. -rr-:' . -
Loveall applauded the deci
sion of France and England to
unite : with Russia. ,
"I i don't want you to get
the idea I am a parlor pink or
anything of that sort; I'm not.
But I believe communism less
a menace than fascism", Dr
Loveall said.
He commented on weekend
development abroad as anything
but optimistic and held that It
aly will 1 be taken for a ride
through signing a military al
liance with Germany.
Two Dancer Spots
The chief danger spots today
are Danzig and the Polish cor
ridor. Dr. Loveau believes. In
Danzig, created a free city and
Poland's , outlet to the sea by
the treaty of Versailles, the
population, is 96 per cent Ger
man and the city has been Nazi
since 1933. Nearly a million and
half Germans are included in
the Polish boundaries, he point
ed .out. .
Germany's desire for a 15-mile-wide
highway across Po
land is unwelcome to other
countries, too.
Some kind of peaceful set
tlement of the German and Po
land situation is. to be -iesired.
rather than letting the prob
lems cause another European
war, the professor declared.

in a fire which Sheriff. JL. Oi Burk
said was evidently set -by prison
ers In the SaO. which U located in

flce. :-.i- '
The flames broke ont in venti
lating' holes la the Jail ceiling and
charred an. area two feet wide and
20 feet long before city firemen
pat them out None of the tax of
flee records was damaged.
j Prisoners Show Alarm
The fire alarm was given by
prisoners shouts and the smell of
smoke, which 'attracted the atten
tion of Deputy Sheriff B. G. Hon-
eycut. who was on duty in . the
sheriff's office. Water from a fire
hose In the courthouse basement
was turned on the blaze before
firemen arrived,: "-
Investigation r disclosed- that
newspapers, one dated May 10,
1931, had been staffed In the ven
tilator holes. Indicating to the

was of incendiary origin.
None of the 11 prisoners in the

out yesterday as suspected of set
ting the blase, Chief Deputy Sher

The courthouse Is heavily In
sured against fire under policies
divided among more than 20 com
panies. No estimate of the loss,
which was slight, was made by in
surance men who examined the
damage yesterday.
Had the fire reached the tax of
fice, it would have ruined tax rolls
of 1938 and earlier years that are
kept on hand for reference pur
poses. The 1939 tax roll, which
lists all current and delinquent
taxes owing the county, is kept in
a fireproof vault in the courthouse
