' Folder Printed in
- Kern-Rrgaer Shop
r It was also observed last week
that a folder distributed by the
candidate in Salens and other
' valley cities which denounced the
Oregr.a press, as unfree for re
fusing to publish in full his cam
paign announcement, was printed
by Kern-Regner Printing com
pany In Portland, which also
prints the L highly pro-Nssl Ger
man' language publication i'Nach-
, rlchlen," i and is allegedly the
source of other pro-German liter
ature. Brown refused comment last
week on the source ot his funds,
whether they were of personal
I origin or -from political cohorts.
' He also refused to divulge names
of fellow-campaigners with the re
mark that "the arm of the Jew
is long and vindictive," evidently
ii referring to fancied persecution
j ot his partisans should they make
themaelres known.
Political observers were quick
" to note, soon aftsr the announce
ment of Brown's candidacy, that
in many ways it forms a strong
contrast to those of his father.
Bam Brown, in years past.
The elder Brown, known for
the frankness of his statements
as well as the fairness of his cam
paigns, never stooped to the brand
of race prejudice now purveyed
T by his son. A liberal, bis political
career was watched ovr by Cath-
olic and other minority groups as
a protection to thir political
rights in a way which is in
sharp contrast to the announced
statements ot his son.
Whatever Brown's political
theory and practice, however, he
has yet to be considered by reli
."able authorities a serious con
' tender, either intellectually or po
litically, for the post now held by
Representative Mott.

Spring's address was given
when Herbert Benjamin, New
York member of the executive
committee of the American com
munist party, failed to arrive
from San iTrancIso as expected.
The speaker" described the war
abroad as fought between
"groups of plunderers, robbers
and thieves for colonies, spoils,
and! new. markets." Its back
ground, he declared. Is "two gen
erations of 'capitalist Imperial
ism." ' --v
Raps TJS Policy
Spring declared the war policy
of the national administration to
depend on preventing the collapse
of the British empire, the sure
guarding of war profits, an en
deavor to capitalize on the in
volvement of imperialist rivals in
increasing 'colonies, markets and
spheres of influence, and on slan
dering the peace and contentment
of the Soviet union.
The Rnsso-German pact of last
August, he affirmed, was an ad
mission by Chancellor Hitler that
the red army of Russia was too
powerful to be opposed. He ex
coriated the war policies of the
French and German governments
both before and after the declara
tion of war last September. f
Spring denounced the Roose
velt administration; and pleaded
for the organization of a workers'
and peoples' political party stand
ing solidly for a peace policy..

' Dr. O. A. Olson and Floyd Bres-

or the city limits before the coun
ty court yesterday which asked
action by the court In Improving
and widening their highway from
the city limits to the four corners,
or at least through the heavily
settled district along Evergreen,
Park and Childs avenues.
The delegation recalled -that
residents of the vicinity had
pointed out to the court last win
ter the fact that the road is nar
row', lacks a non-skid surface, and
is not provided with walks to ac
commodate heavy pedestrian traffic-
r
- Court members Indicated . that
they had given thought to the
problem since the appearance of
the delegation' last winter, and
that they had virtually decided to
non-skid the surface of the. road
even though 'construction of side
walks Is probably impossible at
present. Mention was also:: made
of the possibility of widening the
highway by , building ; two-foot
rock shoulders on each side of the
right of way,' but no commitments
were made by the court.
Residents of Park street, close
to the area under consideration,
also petitioned, the court for oiling
their street, which extends seven
tenths of a mile and serves 32
houses. The petition was signed
by S7 residents, . who stated that
last year they had-paid for oiling
themselves.
