ON THE MANNERHEIM LINE
IN FINLAND, Feb. lt-m-ln the
center of tbe little room a stocky,
black-haired youth was whanging
out melancholy lore songs on a
saw. humming an accompaniment
jwhlch sounded like a muted
-French horn.
Nearby two men. hunched over
'a table, concentrated on a game
of chess while a third amused
himself playing solitaire. A half
dozen others, flat on their backs
tn doubledecker bunks ranged
around the walls, were reading by
shaded electric lamps.
- The card player cast a tolerant
look at the musician.
"When we get tired of his
music we Just bat him over the
head," be told me.
" The scene was a dugout in a
rest area behind Finland's Man
nerheim line. The actors were
soldiers only recently relieved
jTronr front line duty in the Sum
ma sector, where the bittrest bat
tle in two and one-half months
of war wtih Soviet Russia has
been raging.
Confidnece Evident
... ,Their calmness and their cheer
ful. Joking attitude bespoke con
fidence) a confidence that has
stood the. Finns in good stead
- thus far to a battle against seemingly-
overwhelming odds.
Relaxing in their warm dug
outs, the soldiers . seemed much
like hunters waiting for a good
o'ay to track game through the
'forests, the sweeping plateaus and
the lake-studded valleys which
make this country a land of
breath-taking beauty.
The closeness of the war was
brought home to me, however,
when, after a few hours rest, I
climbed out of the dugout
through a door over which snow
and frost hung down In delicate
patterns like lace.
Accompanied by an officer I
climbed to a ridge clear of trees
above the dugout looking toward
the Russian lines. As we halted
for a moment the officer advised
me to pull my white cape around
me.
"You can be seen here," he
warned.
Scarcely had he spoken when
we heard a whistling sound and
four shells whined over our heads,
exploding in the rear. We hur
ried on.
The dugout I had Just left was
typical of most of those in the
Test area warm, well equipped
for comfort and lighted with elec
tricity supplied by dynamos.
On my arrival in this particular
shelter I had been greeted by a
young lieutenant who took me
into his office, partitioned off
with plasterboard. He turned on
a program of radio music, opened
a can of apricots, sent my shoes
and socks away to be dried and
offered me a pair of house slip

In this dugout, as in many oth
ers, the turn of a switch set in

I learned that even In these rest
areas close to the front line sol
diers have their suana bath the
famous steam bath which Finns
believe builds stamina. The troops
Just back from the front make
for these baths as soon as they
have a chance.
Leave Bath Hurriedly
An officer told me that a few
days before a dozen or more men
had been relaxing In the bath
when shells began dropping
nearby.
"They only had time to grab
their pants and make a run for
it," he said with a reminiscent
chuckle. "They certainly looked
funny dashing through the snow
for cover T"

said, "a speaker In Finnish of

don't know how they thought one
man could persuade three others

Lincoln Another Honorless Prophet

Audience Told by Corvallis Editor
Claude Ingalls, editor of the
Corvallis Gazette-Times, yester
day reaffirmed Stanton's phrase
that Lincoln "belongs to the
ages" in an address delivered be
fore the Salem Kiwanis club dur
ing its regular noon luncheon.
"Lincoln, like any other proph

The Finns earlier had denied

its report of regaining positions

positions had been vacated.
The British ordered more

or an atheist; and entered into of
fice wary of assassination plots
and confronted by an opposition
which ridiculed him as a baboon
and a clown."
Lincoln, Ingalls declared, from
early in his life adhered to the
same principles which later were
to dominate the formation of the
republican party.
"All of his relations were Jack
sonian democrats, but Lincoln
reasoned for himself and accepted
the principles of union as ex
pounded by Webster in his reply
to Hayne, and the doctrine of
protective tarrifs as set forth by
Clay."
The speaker singled out for
special criticism the assertion of
Hearndon, Lincoln's law partner,
that the president had never loved
his wife Mary Todd, but that all
of his devotion remained with the
dead Ann Rutledge.
"Women of the nation should
unite to dispel this myth of Lin
coln's love for Ann Rutledge,"
Ingalls said. "No one ever heard
of the legend until years after his
death when Hearndon circulated
it."
Lana Turner and
Artie Shaw Wed;
Feuded in Movie
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 1S.CP)
Artle Shaw and Lana Turner,
who "feuded" all through the
one movie they made together,
turned Hollywood on its ear to
day by eloping to Nevada.
Their 4 a.m. marriage at Las
Vegas dumfounded friends. The
beauteous, 20-year-old, Miser Tur
ner had made no secret of her
engagement for the last three
years to Gregson Bautzer, an at
torney, and only a few weeks ago
assured reporters she would re
tire from films to marry "Baut
zer "and this much is certain
it won't be aa elopement. I
want a church wedding."
Shaw, 20, had been married
and divorced twice before. Con
sidered one of the greatest of
"hot" clarinet players, he was
soloist in his band and made it
one of the top swing orchestras.
Six months ago Artie and Lana
made the picture, "Dancing Co
ed." "They battled all the time," a
fellow worker said.
"Shaw criticized her all through
the film, and when it was fin
ished they were barely speaking."
Nevertheless, Shaw said ha and
Lana had been friends for sev
eral months. Of their quarrels,
Lana said: "I guess that's love."

Drager Avers
Money Repaid
Payments in Connection
With Mining Venture
Included in List
(Continued from Page 1.)
with a mining venture in Wash
ington in which he was concerned
along with O. D. Bower, former
sheriff J. J. McDonald, W. I. Sta
ley, D. B. Jennan and hia former
deputy, W. Y. Richardson,
Others had been drawn to pay
university expenses of George
Drager, the defendant's son: in
surance premiums for his wife;
and college expenses for his
daughter, Mildred. Several were
Introduced which Drager identi
fied as payments made by him
self Jointly with his brother, Rne
Drager, on a loan from the late
S. H. VanTrump. Marion county
horticultural agent, and another
group he testified were tax pay
ments on land owned in Multno
mah county.
In the case of payments made
Jointly with his brother, Drager
identified checks made out to him
by the latter in settlement of a
portion of the obligation. These
were shown to have been endorsed
by the county treasurer with his
official stamp and to have been
credited to the county account in
banks.
Says Richardson
Kept Books in 1015
Prior to testifying In respect to
the checks, Drager described his
position when he first became
treasurer In 1915. At that time,
he said, he had acted as cashier In
the tax collection division, then a
part of the treasurer's office,
while Richardson, his deputy, had
made up monthly statements and
had kept the office ledgers.
"I took care of the bank work,
bonds and warrants." he said,
"and waited on the counter. Gen
erally speaking, Mr. Richardson
kept the books and I did the rest."
In response to questions put by
Attorney Ross in reference to ad
vances made to county employes
on their salary warrants, the
treasurer Btated that he had ques
tioned the propriety of making
such advances but had been as
sured by Deputy Richardson that
such a procedure had the sanc
tion of long custom and was ex-
I pected of him as treasurer.
j Judge Approved
Advances to Contractors
W. M. Bushey, county judge at
that time, said nothing about such
i salary advances, Drager testified,
i but did give his permission for the
i treasurer to pay claim advances to
county contractors.
The defendant took the witness
stand at the end of the morning
session after Leroy Hewlett had
given final testimony for the
state, and John Llchty of Portland
and TI. G. Bover. county clerk.
had taken the stand to open the
case for the defense.
Llchty, attorney for the bond
ing company which made up the
ahnrtirfl foil nil In the treasurer's
office in 1938, testified that at a
meeting in Salem in November,
1938, Richardson had declared a
slight shortage existed on the
county books in 1916 when he
was first employed, and that dur
ing every year thereafter he had
regarded it as a bookkeeping er
ror and had sought to conceal it
by manipulating the county rec
ords. The witness said that Richard
son had denied ever telling any
one of the shortage, and also that
he had taken county money. He
denied altering bank stamps on
the reverse side of vouchers.
County Clerk Boyer, who spent
about an hour on the stand, iden
tified copies of official county
audits dating back more than 20
years and also the signatures of
county court members approving
them. In answer to a question by
Prosecutor Marsh, the defense as
serted that it sought to show the
treasurer had relied on the audits
as revealing an accurate account
of his affairs.
Final state's evidence given by
Hewlett centered about the rela
tions of the county court, of which
the witness was a member be
tween 1935 and 1939, with the
treasurer's office.
Monthly Reports
Refused, Declared
Hewlett stated that in 1935 he
had asked the treasurer to sub
mit a monthly report as required
by law, but that Drager had giv
en an "Indefinite answer" and
had not complied. He added that
the treasurer had actively op
posed an effort on his part to
have the county court sanction a
state audit of county books in
1937, on tbe grounds of expense,
lack of need, and unwillingness to
see Harry Roland and Warren Ri
chardson, county auditors, lose
their Jobs.
On cross-examination the for
mer commissioner declared that
he had received no assistance
from other members of the court
in obtaining reports from the
treasurer, and had approved ap
pointment of county auditors In
1936 and 1937 only on the assur
ance that he was to get "a correct
picture of the situation" from
them.
In response to direct question
ing by Ross whether there had
been friction between himself
and other members of the court,
Hewlett admitted that "harmony
did not exist." and that "my rec
ommendations were not followed,
to the detriment of the taxpay
ers." Direct and cross - examination
of the defendant is expected to
consume most of today's session.
The defense has also subpoenaed

er; J. C. Slegmund. county
judge; George Drager. son of the
defendant; D. W. Eyre, Salem
banker; Lawrence Rich, present
deputy treasurer; John Kirsch.
