Ralph Barnes
Is War Victim
Former . Salem Boy First
War Correspondent
to Fall Victim
(Continued from Page 1.)
' From Rome he was transferred
to Moscow. Russia, where he re
mained for four and a half years
and where he accomplished . a
number of unique journalistic
feats, imoDK. them the report of
famine conditions in the Ukraine
in 1932, He was also the first
American to greet Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh on the occasion of
the latter flight to Russia la
litt.
From 'Moscow he was trans
ferred to Berlin, and in March,
1939, was made chief of his pa
per's London bureau.
He. remained In London until
last March, when he was ordered
to Berlin to reorganise the Herald-Tribune
bureau there, after
which he was expected to return
to London.
Barnes had barely reached Ger
many, however, when the nasi
invasion of the Low Countries oc
curred, and he was ordered to re
main in the reich rather than
seek to return to England.
Writes VlTid Word
Picture of Dunkerque
During the period of the Dutch,
Belgian and French defeat he
- sent dispatches constantly, and
his report of the devastation at
Dunkerque following the British
retreat at the end of May was
one of the most vivid written
during the present war.
Late in the summer, however,
- he was ordered out of Germany
by governmental authorities who
objected to the frankness of his
writing, and from there under
took a jaunt through southeastern
Europe, eventually reaching
" Cairo In Egypt.
Here he remained until his
" death as a correspondent accredit
'. ed to the British Mediterranean
eforces. As their guest, he partici
i. pated in one or more bombing
raids against Italian bases in the
Mediterranean region, and also
was aboard a British cruiser dur
" ing a- voyage of the British fleet
through the Mediterranean in
search of the Italian navy.
. The stories which he wrote back
to his newspaper were unexcelled
for vividness of description and
for carefulness of interpretation of
the British war effort.
Visited Her in '34;
' Family Now in Salem
Barnes was last in Salem for a
brief visit during the summer of
1934. Mrs. Barnes and their
daughters returned last August,
however, following his return- to
the continent where his family, be
cause of the war, could not fol
low. His last story, published in last
Friday's Herald-Tribune, reached
Salem yesterday morning, and de
scribed the . reactions of Italian
soldiers captured' by the Greeks.
It was believed ts be readily un
derstandable that he should have
been aboard a British, plane at the
time of his crash near Greece,
since he had been covering t h e
. Halo-Grecian conflict since its out-
; break three weeks ago.
i Word first came by telephone
to Mrs. Barnes from her mother,
Mrs. Paranougain, of Portland.

DEATH OP A NEWSPAPER MAN
"American war correspondents
have faced death In many forms in
the burning cities of Poland and
Belgium, in the frozen forests, in
the bomb-strewn streets of Lon
don. None of them faced risk more
willingly or more often than
Ralph Barnes of the Herald Tri
bune, who was killed In the crash
of a British bomber on a moun
tainside in Yugoslavia. He was a
hard-working reporter who had
hunted tbe news in many lands.
Like scores of others who now
serve the American publi. He was
Intent, above all, on getting the
story, whatever the discomfort,
whatever the danger. He now be
comes the first casualty of the
American press In this war. To the
newspaper which he served so de
votedly, and to his wife and chil
dren In far-away Oregon, the
newspapermen of The Times wish
to offer their sympathy and sor

Foreign ministers of Germsjay, Spain and Italy met In Bercbtesgadesi to pat what was believed to be
final touches on axis plans for a gigantic lee play oa the Mediterranean through Gibraltar (1)

and for a German drive through Bulgaria to outflank and crush tbe Greeks. Arrow through Spain
shows route axis forces could take to attack Gibraltar from the north. Double pointed arrow in Af-

Gates Bridge
State Tenting Official
and Hubbs Inspect
Condemned Span
E. O. Rickett's, bridge testing
engineer tor the state highway
commission, yesterday accompan
ied Marlon County Engineer N. C.
Hubbs on an inspection tour to
the Oates inter-county bridge over
the North Santlam river.
RIcketts and Hubbs looked over
supports of the structure with a
view to determining whether the
bridge, now condemned with re
spect to general traffic of all
kinds, might be repaired so as
to last for a number of years
more, or should be removed and
replaced by an entirely new struc
ture. Their report was not made
public following their return last
night, and It was believed that
the matter would be taken up
today by the full Marion county
court, and any action agreed upon
submitted to the Linn county
court for its approval as an inter
ested body.
County Commissioner R. S.
Melson. said yesterday that a new
wood span could be constructed
at Gates at a cost of from $10,000
to $12,000, or a steel bridge
erected at a price of two or three
times as much.
The present bridge, he Indi
cated, is a wood structure some
35 years old. Its replacement was
considered a number of years ago,
but no action was taken because
ot controversy over where a new
structure should be located.
Attention was focussed on the
matter Monday when delegations
from Gates met with the county
court in an effort to obtain speedy
action in restoring cros-river
traffic at Gates.
Giving of Thanks
Relative to Plight
Bishop Dagwell Holds US
Should Be Thankful;
Praises English
Thanksgiving is a purely rela
tive thing. Bishop Benjamin D.
Dagwell of Portland told the Sa
lem Kiwanis club yesterday at its
regular noon luncheon meeting. v
When we look around us and
see want and misery, mounting
taxes and the conscription of ar
mies, we may feel that there Is
not much to be thankful for," the
bishop' said.
"But when we consider the
plight of Britain, which has so
much more to endure than our
selves, we can see that, after all.
we do have much to be thankful
for.
"And, similarly, the poor French
people must think the English
should be thankful, and the. Poles
the French.-
Bishop Dagwell , who is a mem
ber of the Committee to Defend
America by Aiding the Allies,
spoke appreciatively ot the morale
of the English people, subjected
to constant air attack for months.
Their fortitude should consti
tute an admonition to all more
fortunate peoples on Thanksgiving
day, he said.
V. E. Kuhn, president-elect of
the club, reported that final ap
proval has been given to Salem
as the 1141 district convention
city of Kiwanis following Bishop
Dagwell's talk.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. ll-F-President
Roosevelt todsy called
upon labor's leaders "with the in
terest ot the nation at heart" to
find a peaceful eolation ot the
problems dividing their followers
into opposing camps.
Alls President William Green
seat immediate assurance to the
executive that the American Fed

where, any time, any place," to
discuss negotiation with the Con
gress ot Industrial Organisations

City.
"We as a people today have the
common determination to put our
country above all else," the pres

was ao indication here that a sim
ilar message had been sent to the

President Roosevelt said:
"Among the things which labor
will contribute, I venture to sug
gest, is an unselfish, a fsr sighted
and a patriotic effort to bring
about, a Just and an honorable
peace within the now divided la
bor movement.
"Labor leaders with the inter

advantage of their followers in
mind, can, I am sure, find the wsy

Possible Altering
Of Budget Seen
E a s t-Countr Delegation
to Seek Funds for
Animal Control
At least one delegation is ex
pected to sppesr at the final Mar
lon county budget meeting." sched
uled for November 17 In the coun
ty courthouse.
Final approval will be given at
the budget meeting to approval
of 1941 county appropriations ss
agreed to by the members ot the
county budget committee at their
meeting early In the month. Items
msy be changed, however, and
delegations appearing will hare
specific alterations in mind.
A group from esst-county areas
Is expected to ask the committee
to restore a 8500 Item for preda
tory animal control in coopera
tion with the federal biological
survey.
This Item was cut from the or
iginal proposed budget on the
ground thst Interested citisens
could form a predatory animal
control district if they eared to,
thus saving portions of the coun
ty unconcerned with animal con
trol from expense.
Another delegation may ap
pear to urge an appropriation tor
a domestic science supervisor in
connection with the county
agent's office. That anything eaa
be done en this Item is doubtful,
however, since the matter Is new
snd may not be written into ths
budget at the final meeting.
New vault space and increase
In available space in the county
clerk's office through removsl of
partitions may also come in for
discussion.
Members of the budget commit
tee, in addition to the county
court, are A. A. TJlvIn, Ray Glatt
and E. L. Welder.
