Indian Notable Ends Voyage to Hunting Ground SEASIDE, Ore., Oct. 14-p)- An ancient Indian notable, long stranded on the shoals of time, ended his voyage to tlie Happy Hunting Grounds today in the ignominy of sewer ditch. Workmen excavating for Sea side's new sewage disposal sys tem came upon the rotted canoe and its harden perhaps a chief. Paris of a shroud which blan keted the aged Redskin on his final Journey still remained. The canoe was filled with wam pum beads, .tokens, apparently campaign material for President Harrison, coins issued by the Northwest Fur company in 1820, an American half -dime and two rusted Derringer pis tols, one double-barreled. On the Indian's arms were six copper bracelets to denote his rank when he reached the lands where came' walked up to the arrow, . LONDON, Oct. 14.-(P)-George Bernard Shaw today criticized the addresses of Prime Minister Cham berlain and declared wartime Britain should have a national or ator to match the "very able speeches" of Hitler and Stalin. Shaw also recommended estab lishment of a council of British policy whose duties would be "to censor and expiain to Mr. Cham berlain any speech be might de liver in parliament." The 83-year-old playwright's criticism was contained in a let ter read at the opening of a con ference on war aims by the Fabian society, a socialist group. The conference, Shaw, said should rule out of order "all mean ingless words like Hitlerism, total itarianism, aggression, security. liberty, democracy and in general all parliamentary language." Shaw said Chamberlain's con elusion in speeches was that it was for Germany to make her choice and added: "We have had enough of leav ing the initiative to Herr Hitler, He invariably takes it." Bourbons Uniting For 1940 Battles One Strong State Society Is Aim; MeNary Boom Is Taking Hold (Continued from page 1) nr traditional of the "opposition" by keeping the majority party on its toea. Their supreme effort will be to retain the shrievalty; but they are Just as aware as are the republicans that the field la wide open for most of the other offices in the county. Preliminary to any major of fensive In that direction, however, the democrats have an organiza tional problem on their hands. The leaders of the Oregon State Democratic club are convinced that the party has been weakened by a plurality of organizations and are moving in the direction of consolidation. The meeting of the Marion County Democratic society here Friday night was the first local move in that direction. The club, headed by Avery Thompson, voted to affiliate with the state club which Incidentally will have headquarters in Salem, home of its president, J. F. Ul rich. Other groups such as the Young Democrats in this and other coun ties will be urged to affiliate with the state club, while retaining their own autonomy. After solid arity is attained the next big task will be selection of a strong slate for the 1940 campaign and that's when developments will get interesting. Naturally "available" material is already being scanned. The state board of control and the state banking board will meet on Wednesday. Important devel opments are expected only from the meeting of the banking board. Selection of a state banking su perintendent is scheduled. There were reports Saturday that Gov ernor Charles A. Sprague was dis posed to favor the appointment of Fred Lamport of Salem, that Treasurer Pearson wanted to re appoint Mark Skinner, incumbent, and that Secretary of State Snell was non-committal. But actually, Sprague and Pearson have been just as silent as Snell in the mat ter, and anything beyond that is mere speculation. Whatever the decision on that point, when it is made the way will be cleared for action in the similar case of the office of in surance commissioner, now held by Hugh Earle. Whether the in surance business is all it might be or not, it's reported that most of the insurance men in the state are receptive. There is specula tion that if Lamport gets the banking post, the second con gressional district might expect recognition in the appointment of the insurance chief if it has a man eligible the third district having furnished the utilities and corporation commissioners. ' - Governor Sprague's McNary- for president gesture has reached the United States senate, it was reported Saturday. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas said the sug- eestlon was "very timely." Re- nublican leaders are planning to ask the governor to head a Mc- Nary-for-president club, but that will have to await the senator's approval.

Senator Suggests Seizure of Indies Lundeen Would Take Isles to Pay British War Debt WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-()-Senator Lundeen (FL-Mlnn) sug gested during senate neutrality debate, today that the United States seise British possessions in the Caribbean in payment for the war debts and let himself in tor ft denunciatory barrage from ad ministration supporters.

When he had concluded, white haired Senator Connally (D-Tex) arose to speak on behalf of em bargo repeal and promptly lashed ont at Lundeen' proposition. "He's opposed to war." Con nally observed acidly, "but he wants us to send our navy down to take the Bahamas by armed force this man of peace! If he wanted these islands, the way to get them would be to negotiate for them at the conference table by peaceful means."
