Hi OREGON STATESMAN. Satan, Oregon, Friday Morning. March 15. 1940 PAGE THREE Diplomatic Scrap Shifts Southeast Norway, Sweden, Finland Combine Seen; Many ; Dispossessed (Continued from page 1) take up the offensive against Ger many and "all their enemies." The meeting was called . to thresh oat the whole question of allied strategy in the face of mounting criticism of Britain and France for failure to get help to the Finns in time. HELSINKI, March lA.-iAf-A new army was on the march to night in saddened Finland an army of 100,900 men, women and, children forsaking their firesides in ceded territory to find strange homes within Finland's newly shrunken frontiers. By foot, in autos, wagons and on trains they moved through the snow-clad country taking their pigs, horses and cattle with them. They carried what clothing and family heirlooms they could gather on short notice before their land is turned over to Russia. Approximately 500,000 other persons are In refugee centers, having fled there for protection early in the war. About 140,000 of them may re turn to their homes what Rus sian bombs have left of them but Finland must find new homes and new livelihoods some place in the rock-bound land for about 460,000. Practically None Want Soviet Rule Juho Koivisto, assistant minis ter of agriculture who is in charge of moving the people, said that no pressure had been brought to force families to leave the ceded areas, but that experience showed practically none of them wanted to live under Russian rule. Most of those to be moved are from the regions north of Lake Ladoga since the ceded Karelian isthmus was emptied of civilians and turned over to the army al most completely during the war. Only 2000 persons are remain ing in Kanko, the south coast port leased to Russia as a naval base. The state has been paying the entire cost of feeding and shel- Ski Stars Put Through Paces 6. 5 4 y Up in the air flies one of the nation's best all-around skiers, Olaf Ko degard of Timberline Lodge, Ore., pictured in a near-perfect Jump turn while training for the national four-way championships at Mt.

Koivisto said that an effort would be made to keep friends and neighbors with common traditions and customs together but that "very grave social problems' are ahead, the psychological shock of moving persons from places where their families had dwelt for gen erations is extremely serious, he pointed out. The Finnish government feels that the refugees have a right to expect new property and new homes to make up for what is lost to Russia.

The trawler was hit several times and the engine room flood ed. "The vibration was terrific and you could see the engine founda tions shifting," said the captain. "Our ' position was extremely dangerous and no doubt the whole crew risked their lives. Throughout the chase the ves sels pounded each other with shells. Closer and closer the trawler drew until we got with in fully effective distance and sent the submarine to the bot- ! torn with gunfire. j "There were no survivors from i her. "Although in a sinking condi I tion, the trawler remained in the ! vicinity for some time. We hung ! about until a dense oil patch was j created by the wrecked U-boat. Then, battered and damaged, we reached our base and the dangerous condition was fully re vealed to the crew, who found the engines had shifted five inches." Court Defers Job Of Solon Picking Members of the county court in dicated yesterday that they expect to sign an order within a few days continuing indefinitely the vacan cy in the Marion county delega tion to the state legislature caused by the recent resignation of Housemember Walter Fuhrer. Similar action was taken last fall, it was revealed, when John Steelhammer resigned as a mem ber of the legislative body to ac cept a position as special legal ad visor to the county. The post carries no stipend dur ing periods when the legislature Is not in session, and in the absence of a special session would include no specific duties during the re mainder of the term, which expires in January, 1941. 2 Lost Children, Mother Reunited EUENE, March 14.-(P)-Two youngsters who boarded at the police station for two days while seeking their "lost" mother were reunited today. The children, Bobbie and Fern Green. 14 and 16 years of age, came from Lakeview to find their parent. They had only a general delivery address.

Jones, Pittsburgh oil man. The amendment would place an absolute $5000 top on the total contributions that could be made by any individual or corporation In a single year. Contributions above that figure would be "per nicious political activity" and would be punishable by fines of at least $5000 and prison terms of at least five years. The amendment won the sup port of some senators who favor the Hatch bill. For example, Sen ator LaFollette (prog., Wis.) said: "The Bankhead amendment Im proves the bill. It strikes at the heart of one of the political evils which ought to be corrected, and I think friends of this bill should be glad to have It in there." Hatch hopefully expressed the view that the amendment would not seriously affect his bill's chances. Earlier in the day, the cham ber defeated, 60 to 28, an amend ment by Senator Pepper (D, Fla.) to permit "voluntary" political activity by state-federal employes affected by the measure. At Hatch's request, the senate wrote Into the bill a provision guaranteeing such employes the right to vote as they please and to express both publicly and pri vately their opinions on political matters.
