The convention was formally
Opened with the memorial exer
cises Thursday .forenoon in the
EUinore theatre, Impressively
conducted before a "back drop"
depicting the national capital and
tn tomb of the unknown soldier.
-..Y'-iThe highlight of the memorial
services was the address by Rev.
James Osborne of McMinnville,
' 'department chaplain.
i;: The joint opening ceremony of
Legion and auxiliary, also at the
Elsinore following the program,
was featured by the address of
Stephen P. Chadwick of Seattle,
..national commander of .the Le
gion, who .declared that should
deportation proceedings against
Harry Bridges fail, other methods
of removing him from the
Suited States - legally, might be
found. t
j . ' We are confronted with the
fact that for 18 months an alien
was charged with attempting to
Overthrow our American form of
government," the national com
mander said. "Some have hinted
there was persecution in the ef
fort, to remove an Individual who
. v Is against all we stand for. There
has been no persecution, and if
fur ; laws are not able to cope
w,ith the situation as its exist to
day, then we can pass laws which
Kill'- be adequate to meet the
situation and to remove those
fadiriduals."
In his prepared .address the
c6mmander dealt 'with problems

Id which the Legion Is Interested.

United Airlines flagship - of the

hop that took them over Portland
and St. Johns.
U Thrills were, engendered by
tSk Humphries and Dick Ran
kin, brother of Tex. with separate
specialty stints. Humpbries, us
, mg an army pursuit plane, picked
piece of cloth oft the ground
with! his wing while flying at a
rate of more than 200-miles per
hour arross the field. Dick Ran
khr performed a number of diffl.
cult stunts In a small Cub. with a
dead motor, and accomplished a
dead stick landing. -
JCarl Curlee, managing director
of the tour, said the 65 planes It
contained practically ran the com
plete gamut of aviation, with ev-
erything from the lowest priced
vib to a luxurious transport on
the- field. As an indication of the
spread of variety, he cited the
fact that a little Curtis pusher
with the tour ' taken six hours
id making the trip from Portland
to Prinevllle. while the Boeing
transport accomplished the dis
tance In 48 minutes.
Captain C C. Coppin, Jr.. super

Change Announced
In Wheat Subsidy
WASHINGTON Aug. 10.P
Secretary Wallace announced to
day a change In the agriculture
department's wheat export sub
tidy program designed to "move
the wheat into export more com
pletely through the normal chan
nels of trade."
In the future, the department
will make bounty payments to
exporters at rates to be negotia
ted by the exporter and the gov
ernment. Int' the past, the gov
ernment bought wheat in domes
tic markets, and sold it to export
ers at reduced prices which would
enable them to meet low foreign
quotations.
Under the new program, the
government will withdraw from
actual buying and selling of
wheat, leaving that' to the exporters.

Col. Gen. Walter Von Brauch

Joachim Yon Ribbentrop and

Von lrauchitsch, army chief of
staff, spoke to the entire nation
in an address broadcast from
Duesseldorf.
! Stands on Tank
He stood on a tank flanked by
two cannon before workmen in
the gigantic munitions works of
the Rhein-Metall-Borsig company.
There he gave Germans "the
sacred assurance" that "never
will the fuehrer frivolously risk
the lives of Germans."
"If, however." he went on,
"'the time should come that the
fuehrer will demand our last and
highest sacrifice, we may be sure
that there was no other way and
that this demand is an irrevoc
able necessity. Germany will not
be intimidated."
L Besides the question of Danzig,
the axis attitude toward Japan
was included In the problems for
discussion by Ciano and Von
Ribbentrop'.
The possibility that Japan
might be drawn into a military
alliance with Germany and Italy
at an early date aroused lively
speculation In political circles.
. But Danzig appeared to be the
more pressing issue and in in
formed quarters It was said Pre
mier Mussolini was counselling

Germany was said to be mak
ing every effort to reassure Italy
that there was no disposition to
take any step without the full
approval of II Duce.

NEW YORK,! Aug. 10.-(ff)-A
Harvard professor who has spent
a good part of 40 years before the
mast took active command - to
night of an expedition to retract
the voyages of ; Christopher Co
lumbus.
An experienced navigator him
self, Prof. Samuel E. Moris on
thinks too much, has been written
about Columbus by scholars in
dusty libraries. ; He hopes to re
raluate the famous admiral as a
seaman and clear up doubts about
his routes and landings In Amer.
lea.
Two ketches, the Capitana,
named for the flagship on Colum
bus' third voyage, and the . Mary
Otis, compose the expedition sail
ing from Oyster Bay, Long Island,
about Aug. IS. ,
Prof. -Morrison, an expert in Co
lumbia, will be commodore and
purser. Paul Hammond, veteran
yacht racer, will captain the Cap
itana, now being outfitted in
Brooklyn. How devoted Hammond
Is to yachting was shown a few
years ago when he built a boat in
his garage with such enthusiasm
that he had to tear down the
building to get it out.
Dwight Whitney Morrow, Jr.,
brother-in-law of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, and his wife, who has
never been to sea before, will be
among the Capitana's crew of 15
men and three women.
The expedition, which will last
about six months, is financed
mainly by participants with
grants from the Mellow founda
tion of Pittsburgh, Carnegie cor
poration of New York and Milton
fund of Harvard.
"We intend to retrace mainly
and parts of the other three,"
the fourth voyage of Columbus
said Prof. Morison. It was on the
fourth voyage that Columbus saw
Honduras and the North Ameri
can mainland for the first time,
pjving the way for the discovery
of the Pacific. The professor de
scribed it as the explorer's sec
ond most Important but least
known voyage.
Although the professor's ships
have auxiliary power, he re
marked unprofesBorially that the
engines would be used "nowhere,
except where there ain't no
wind."

Red Gross Marks
Climbing Tragedy
SPOKANE. Aug. lK;py-There
is a new Red Cross on the picture
map that Gerald J. Clarke gave to
a Spokane mountaineer several
years ago, and it marks the place
on Long's peak, Colorado, where
Clarke died Monday of exposure.
The Colorado mountain climber
made the map by inking in var
ious climbing routes on a large
picture of the peak's formidable
east face. With a red cross he
marked the spot where each tra
gedy had overtaken a climbing
party.
"Some day," he said, "maybe
you'll be marking one of these
crosses here for me." ' ' '
Ed Dennis, present owner of the
picture, said today Clarke's pro
phecy had been fulfilled.

floor leader in the house, as a
possible dark horse candidate.
, Recapture of authority from the
president, with fear of the purge
forgotten, ' constituted the most
significant trend of the last con

and he predicted the negative
color of its recent revolt will

annually, he forecast.
