Mr. Fatland is from Condon
over In eastern Oregon and we
suppose it did his heart good to
see that the sophomores at Cor

Nothing like a good old pair of
levis to make a man feel wild

thing. The moleskins, by the by, were
victims of the war. Seems the
jtuff they're made of is manufac

find the boats to ship the cloth

when war hits a sophomore in the

Much to the surprise of the cer

Walker Urged to
Seek State Post
Senator Dean Walker, here
from Independence Saturday, said
that while he had not given seri

republican primary for state
treasurer, he had received a lot
of encouragement.
Walker indicated that he had
received letters from many parts
of the state urging him to enter
the treasurer's race.
In the 1939 legislative session
he was chairman of the senate
ways and means committee.
In ease Walker does not enter
the contest for state treasurer he
probably will be a candidate for
president of the senate at the 1941
legislative session. He repre

publication of copies of the. pre

violation of law. and that thus "it
is necessary for mo to publicly
state that in legal contemplation
no presentment has been made to
me."
The presentment was not re
leased to the press by the grand
Jury, by the clerk of the court, or
by himself, the Judge asserted,
and so its publication constituted
contempt of court.

Roosevelt, calling the
Russian regime an absolute "dic

In the American Youth Congress
opposing loans to Finland, and
drew from John L. Lewis a bristl
ing new attack on his adminis
tration. Speaking to the coil gr ess a few
hours after Mr. Roosevelt had
addressed it, Lewis observed that
the president had advised that
they not adopt resolutions con
cerning matters on which they
were not expert.
If the same rule were applied
to the democratic party, Lewis
declared, the president would
"lose the next election" and the
president's own "efficiency"
would be Impaired.
The CIO chieftain's sally was
greeted by a cheering, whistling
ovation that was made the more
marked by Its contrast with the
reception accorded the president.
Greater Applause
Reserved for Lewis
Mr. Roosevelt had addressed
the delegates to the congress
from the south portico of the
White House while his audience
stood in a cold rain on the lawn.
His remarks were frequently ap
plauded, but there was no ap
proach to the tumultous greeting
given Lewis, and one or two in
dividuals booed the chief execu
tive.
Lewis, who spoke in the labor
department auditorium, derided,
too, the president's discussion of
economic problems, telling the
members of the congress that
they had asked for assurances
regarding jobs, peace and civil
liberties.
"What did you get?" he de
manded thunderously.
"The president said substan
tlally that under certain condi
tions and under certain forms of
government you wouldn't have
the privilege of standing on the
lawn in the rain asking for jobs.'.'
The congress delegates heard
the president speak of Russia in
denunciatory phrases almost un
precedented as a statement by
the chief executive about the
government of a nominally
friendly nation.
Denunciation Is
Almost Unprecedented
Facing the 4066 by "police

26 Billion Error
Charged to FDR
Dewey on Trip West Says
President That far
Off, Total Debt
HELENA, Mont., Feb. 10-A)-Thomas
E. Dewey, republican
presidential aspirant, asserted to
night that President Roosevelt in
a statement of government debt
"made an error of twenty-six and
a half billion dollars . . . The
greatest financial error In his
tory." The New York district attor
ney said in a Lincoln day address
that Mr. Roosevelt made "the fol
lowing astonishing statement" at
his press conference Monday:
" 'The total owed by govern
ment is no greater than it was in
1932. In other words, local debt,
state debt, county debt snd city
debt had gone down the full ex
tent that federal debt had gone
up.' "
Dewey, who is en route to Port
land, Ore., cited treasury and oth
er figures to show that while state
and local debts were almost un
changed in 1939 compared with
J 93 2, the United States govern
ment debt "increased 121,000,
000,000 and the debt of govern
ment agencies by another $5,500,
000,000.00 "Just to measure the size of the
blunder," he continued, "that err
or was about equal in dollars to
all the money spent by the United
States government in its whole
history from the day George
Washington took office until the
outbreak of the great war in

Lincoln Day Opportunity
Seized by Republicans
to Blast New Deal
(By The Associated Press)
James A. Farley entered the
presidential campaign Saturday
night by consenting to the entry
of delegates pledged to him in
the April 30 Massachusetts demo
cratic primary.
William H. Burke, jr., Massa
chusetts democratic chairman,
made public a letter from Farley
giving him "authority, or power
of attorney, to file delegates
pledged to my candidacy."
In a statement. Burke said be
had no direct knowledge of Mr.
Roosevelt's intentions, but he
added his belief that "Mr. Far
ley's procedure in agreeing to en
gage In a contest for the Massa
chusetts delegates has the approv

Republican leaders in a prelude
to the 1940 campaigning, de
nounced President Roosevelt's
new deal in nation-wide speech
making last night.
Their addresses were in con
nection with the anniversary on
Monday of the birth of Abra
ham Lincoln, first republican
president. There were celebrations
in scores of cities. Others are to
be held Monday and on succeed
ing days next week.
Flying Trapeze Is
Wearying, Asserts
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.),
mentioned as a candidate for the
republican presidential nomina
tion, told a St. Paul audience that
Americans were "tired of life on
a flying trapeze" and added:
"They are tired of experiments
that never end and patent medi
cines that never cure. They aro
tired of bureaucrats, boondog
gle, barnacles, brain trusts, bal
lyhoo and bankruptcy. An elo
quent and decisive majority
composed of republicans and Jef
fersonian democrats alike will
repudiate the repudiators of the
American system."
Vandenberg suggested as part
of his program "quarantine the
third termites."
In Louisville, Senator Austin
(R-Vt. ), assistant minority lead
er, declared that supreme court
decisions had applied brakes on
the new deal. But he added:
"They do not stop the building
up by the new deal of new instru
ments of public power which the
president has said might, in the
hands of others, place shackles
upon the liberties of the people.
What? Is It inevitable that we
have a third term or a dynasty?
Or must we choose the shackles?"
New Hampshire to
Vote on FDR Slate
Among political developments
on the democratic side was a de
cision by New Hampshire demo
cratic officials to enter an "offi
cial slate" of delegates pledged to
Mr. Roosevelt in the March 12
state primary the first of 1940.
Friends of Vice-President Gar
ner reiterated that he was seek
ing to "smoke out" President
Roosevelt on the third term issue
by his entry into the April 9
Illinois primary. Mr. Roosevelt's
name has been entered in the
primary by Chicago's Kelly-Nash
organization, but he has given
no Indication of approval or dis
approval. At Buffalo, Attorney General
Robert H. Jackson praised the
new deal, saying it "has been
merely a shaking off of old tra
ditions, a defiance of old lethar
gies, and a setting about with
new energy to reshape our eco
nomic and social system to stand
the shock of financial collapse,
social confusion and international
brutality."
"You can no more rip the
philosophy of the new deal out of
future American life than you
can rip out the philosophy of the
Emancipation Proclamation or
the strong doctrine of the Dec
laration of Independence," Jack
son asserted.
