Forest "Defense Planned Coast Range Residents, Vacationists, Flee Menacing Flames PORTLAND, Aug. 9. -(F)- forecast of fog on the coast gave weary fire fighters slight hope to day as they doggedly fought against continued spread to the south of fires on the North Ore gon eoast range. A searing August sun and dead ly high winds gave Impetus to the flames during the day, and elabor ate plans were made to defend the rich Siuslaw forest from the 20 000 -acre -plus Saddle mountain conflagration.

V. A foreign office spokesman said Japan was uneqafvocally op posed to including third powers in the Anglo-Japanese conversa tions which have been under way here since the middle of July to settle problems growing out of the ; blockade of Tientsin foreign concessions. It was believed by observers that the Question of considering third powers in the conference was proving to be a new stum bling block to early resumption of the negotiations. British Ambassador Sir Robert Craigie has been awaiting further Instructions from his government, which has insisted it could not agree to Japan's demands to drop support of the Chinese national currency because other powers were( concerned. On the other hand the foreign office spokesman declared "Ja pan will not yield her position that economic qnestions are sole ly between Britain and Japan.

The Portland, Ore., officer, who shortly before had declared he had received an anonymous letter saying a waterfront gang planned to "dump" him, was questioned repeatedly regarding testimony given earlier in the day and Which the defense sought to show was at variance with material in copies of other letters read into the records.

Vote Calls for Run-off Johnson Leads in Demos9 Gubernatorial Primary but Falls Short JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 9.-flV A two-man runoff election with an ironical twist became assured today when tabulations showed Paul B. Johnson, of Hattiesburg led a seven-man gubernatorial field but failed to gain a majority in yesterday's state democratic primary. Johnson, attorney and former congressman, bore the endorse ment of U. S. Senator Theodore Bilbo and ran up 67.092 votes in unofficial returns from 1,227 to 1,660 precincts, well ahead of former Governor Mike Sennett Conner at 60,129. Conner had no official backing in the dull campaign preceding yesterdax's vote, but in an August 29 runoff for the nomination tantamount to election in - one party Mississippi was . expected to have the active - support of Senior Senator Pat Harrison and his ally, Governor Hugh White. The ironical twist was that in 1936 Bilbo backed Conner against Harrison for the senatorial nomi nation.'. - " .

Reports Say Country Refuses Axis Upon Neutrality Stand Germany and Italians to Be Informed of Decision Today (By the Associated Press)' The threat of a crisis from a new direction bobbed up in Europe last night when it was learned on highest authority that Yugoslavia had refused flatly Italian and German demands for "benevolent" neutrality in case of war. Belgrade informants said Pre mier Dragisha Cvetkovich would fly from the Yugoslav capital to day to tell Italian leaders that his country was determined to maintain strict neutrality with arms if necessary. The German and Italian de mands, reported to have been made "unofficially," called for Yugoslavia to promise to place her railroads at the disposal of the axis powers in the event of any European outbreak. If the demands were granted, the axis powers would have ac cess to Rumanian and Bulgarian borders. Here Is how Yugoslavia fits into the European picture: On the north she is bounded by Italy, Germany and Hungary, partners in the anti-comintern pact. . To the east is Rumania, whose rich oil and wheat fields have tig. ured largely in Adolf Hitler's dreams of drang nacht osten drive to the east. - Her southeastern neighbor Is Bulgaria, who has not yet lined up definitely with either of Europe's opposing -camps. .rif,s. On the south Is Greece, holder of a guarantee of Independence from Britain, and Albania, the lit tle Adriatic kingdom Italy con quered with a Good Friday inva sion last April. The narrow Adriatic washes her western shores. Meanwhile, against a back g r o v n d of feverish continental preparations for an autumn showdown, nazis In Danzig an nounced Albert Forster, their par ty district leader, would answer to n 1 g h t what one spokesman termed "the unbelievable threat of Poles to shoot Danzig down with cannon." Nazis in the Free City sudden, ly arranged a mass meeting for Forster's address following his return from a visit to Adolf Hit ler at Berchtesgaden. Poland's preparedness for a pos sible new "period of erisis" late this month was Indicated by re ports that no leaves of absence would be granted In the Polish army after Aug. IB.

Plaza at Gapitol Building Planned Marble Flagstones Will Be Used, Board of Control Decides Travertine marble flagstones will grace the formal garden walks in the plaza fronting the new capitol and library build ings, the state board of control de cided yesterday. Bid of a Portland firm to sup ply the material for $627, or 11 cents a square foot delivered, was accepted after George Otten, state highway department lands cape engineer, reported , it would be ideal from the standpoint of de veloping a garden appropriate as a setting for the marble capitol group. ' The bid, which Otten said was exceptionally low, was made pos sible by the fact that the com pany offering the marble had it as material rejected; because of YarL atlons In thickness, for use in the capitol corridors.

Kruger appeared before the council Monday night and asked action of a sort not specified be cause the policeman had refused to arrest the man. "When Officer.- Burgess inves tigated the incident and asked to know, whether Kruger would sign a complaint against the man in question, the . latter replied he would not do such a thing," Chief Minto said. Since there was insuf ficient evidence for the officer to know with any eertalnty whether bits of wire which the man had were actually the property of Kru ger, or whether he were in truth guilty of other minor thefts, he acted in accordance with official policy in declining himself to sign the complafnt." -v. 40 et 8 Takes "Goofs" for Ride; Thousands SeeMarch By WALLACE A.
