Willkie Proposes Decentralization Factories in Small Towns His Idea; 'Candy Stick' Policy Is Opposed ' DES . MOINES, Iowa, Aug. -(AV-Weadell L. Willkie said Mon day that widespread decentralisa tion of Industry was one answer to the country's defense problem and then told a luncheon meeting that "candy stick government" in France had enabled Germany to crush that nation "like an egg shell." In a day of intense activity, the republican presidential nominee talked farm problems with mid western agriculture leaders 1 and then said to a crowd gathered at the state capltol: . "In - the defense program and in the Industrial development that must eome in connection with that, those who lead the affairs ot government must see' that - many of the. pianta that -will be built will be; located in towns-like the towns scattered all, over the state of Iowa." Moving downtown to a press as sociation meeting,. Willkie made an impromptu talk in which he asserted that "the French were just as brave and intelligent as the Germans, and Great Britain and France together had greater resources than the Germans. "Yet France was crushed like an eggshell. Why? Because they had adopted the candy stick theory of government. When a child cries you give him a piece of candy and try to quiet him." The nominee's only elaboration was that France's defense prob lem was essentially one of pro duction, Just as is America's.

Design of Prize Float Explained State Vocational Board's Six-Point Program Is Delineated Six young students of creative design in Art Clough's class. at the Eugene vocational school, con ceived and executed the uniquely designed emblematic float which carried away a first prise for the state board of vocational educa tion in the Parade of Progress at the Saturday night Salem Centen nial celebration. Award, according to the Jud ges, was made on the basis of the ingenious use of symbols to de pict the role of the state board in vocational education. Three herole-elie pairs of hands supported the board's six-point program. The first pslr of hands represented labor and Industry, the second, the public and bus iness, while agriculture . and the home were paired for the third set of hands. Revolving cog wheels turned the six-point pro gram, displaying six sections which represent the vocational program, L e., agriculture, home making, rehabilitation, distribu tive education, trade and indus try. In the center a tower, topped by Oregon's emblematic beaver, conveyed the idea of the state's supervision of the program. The red, white and blue color scheme prevailed. The thought behind the design, according to Clough, is the aim of making Oregonlans more con scious of Oregon's background, its resources and history. - He hopes to see a greater utilisation ot the Oregon theme. in the crea tion of summer homes, in travel promotion and in the development of commercial design.

Agriculture Has Part in Defense Position of Farmer to Aid Nation Is Outlined by Kiwanis Speaker American agriculture and its re lation to national defense was discussed yesterday before the Sa lem Kiwanis club by William Teutseh, assistant director of ex tension at the state college. In addition to its normal sup ply of young men, the nation's ag riculturists esn furnish enormous surpluses In most baste food aad fiber commodities, the speaker said. A 890 million bushel surplus ot wheat, aad Immense stores ot corn, cotton and meat all assure the nation of adeqaate food sup plies hi ease of war, he Indicated. American farmers are also ready to make adjustments to meet world as welt as national needs. "Farmers' committees on land utilisation are set up in fell parts of the country," he declar ed, "and can change the direction of farm production poHcy In a 24-hour period on notice from Washington." Dr. Teutseh emphasized th,at adjustments in agricultural pro duction would almost inevitably flow from changes In the political complexion ot Europe, but indicat ed that American farmers were ready to meet whatever demands might be placed upon them. The bulb and nut markets, he noted, have already been helped rather than hindered by the absorption ot European supplies by Germany.
