Rep. Fish of New York, rank ing minority committeeman, an nounced that seven republican amendments would be offered, in cluding one to forbid the presi dent to give any part of the navy and another to limit the bill to one year. Brit Mi Order for 3000 Planes Meld in Abeyance Morgenthau told tbe senate foreign relations committee that British orders for 2000 fighting planet were being held In abey ance because the British lacked enough dollar exchange. He also said that In order to pay for the war equipment already- ordered. British citizens had arranged to sell "every bit" of property they own In the United States within 1 months. When Senator Clark (I-Mo asked whether this in cluded New York real estate hold ings of Lord aad Lady Astor, he asserted: "If Lord and Lady Astor own real estate In New York, their as sets will be on the auction block along with all the others." Morgenthau waa the target of evere questioning by senators critical of administration for ebra policy. In response to queries, he said be had charged tbe Brltlah World war debt off "attentally long; ago, bat he did tot "necessarily" Intend to do llkewiae' With the new obliga tions contemplated under the bill. Morgenthau said that unless congress passed. tbe lease-lend bill "there Is nothing for England to do but stop fighting." The war equipment which Great Britain has already ordered from American manufacturers will end her ability to pay cash in this country, he said, and if the flow of fighting materials Is to continue, some formula must be worked out. Tbe lease-lend measure, be added, was tbe best formula that has been suggested. "Tbe decision rests with the congress ot the United States." be said, "whether Great Britain. Greece and China continue to fight." Governor Pleads Cause of Youth A plea that youth not be vic tims of the bewilderment, cyni cism and despair growing out ot present culture destruction was voiced Tuesday In Willamette uni versity chapel by Governor Charles A. Sprague. Faith In the rise ot a stable civ ilisation from the chaos Is the need. Governor Sprsgue said. The peace structure which was being erected after the first World war was crushed; Sprague posed the question, "What would the people do with peace If they had It?" la the present military and philoso phical revolution, for their econ omic and diplomatic relations would still need settling.

Rublnoff. nationally famous, violinist-con ductor, has. In cooperation with the Salem Junior chamber Of commerce, arranged to award three medals for tb best violin ists among students of local grade and high schools. Tha medals, of gold, stiver and bronze representaiag first, second and third prises, are an exhibition at Ilartman Brothers, State aad Liberty streets. Each medal Is suspended from a rosette of red. white and blue ribbons. Oa tbe face of each medal Is a replica of Rublnoff's famous 1100,000 Stra dlvarlus violin and space for the winner's name and the name of his school. The reverse side bears the Inscription "Rublnoff Violin Auditions First Prize" (or second or third) the date and the loca tion. ! Competition for these prises starts immediately and will con sist . of a series of eliminations, school by school, under the super' vision of Wesley McWain of Wil lamette university. Finals will be held at the Feb ruary 4 meeting of the Junior chamber at the Argo hotel. These auditions are Intended to uncover youths of musical pro mise. Tbey stem from the mae stro's never-to-be-forgotten diffi culties In securing music lessons as a child in Europe. Here In the United States he found a school system offering a wide scope of music training. Anything he can do to further this..-work is his contribution In grateful appreciation of the op portunities afforded him in Amer ica. If. Incidentally, he Is enabled to aid In furthering the good work of the music classes all well and good. For as Rublnoff sums up. "Good music students make good citizens." General Answers Newsmen Queries (Continued From Page 1) i "I think . so. That cortalaly Is our hope." Then a reporter asked tbe spe cific question whether the general believed that Britain could beat Germany with the aid envisioned if the lease-lend bill goes through. "Yea," waa the ataccato reply. The expected great German of fensive probably will start iln April or May, Marshall said. De spite his opinion that Britain would win out eventually with Americas aid. he emphasised that the present situation was "ser ious." j "I think It's oae of the most critical periods la the history of the world," he said. j Asserting that Germany had never yet brought her full aerial power to bear, he said that only by faster production could the United States send more aircraft to the beleaguered Island. As! to whether any equipment 'now own ed by the American. armed forees could be shipped abroad, he said "We have tfeed for all the modern equipment that has been delivered to aa." t - In response to more questions he said that the United Btates army air force is adequate to hold off any enemy, under circum stances as they exist "at the pres ent moment, bat If Britain sboald faU ta tha lanuaedlata future It would aa "insufficient. -. ! Turning again to the 'prospects of a German attempt to' Invade England, he said the establish ment at a bridgehead serosa the English channel woald be a ter rifically dangereas undertaking, repairing that tha Germans first get complete control of the alri ; The British have a Tery sal. aat spirit, a splendid air corps aad the advantage of position ' across . the channel, tha sesv. cral said.

McMa han. proposing that tha present 12700 salary be Increased to $3 100 but It wonld be merely a bookkeeping change so far as the district attorney waa concerned. Judge Tells Details of District Attorney's Office ' The jndge pointed out that the district attorney has expenses of 9100 a year which would come out of his salary and reduce It In effect to $1800 a year, except that he has been paid this amount "at the sufferance of the connty court." Tha judge'a letter, de claring this to be an Indefensible practice from several points of rlew, follows: 'The district attorney'a sal ary la $2700 a year and being a state and not a county officer there Is no law by which he can legally secure any . f eea, per quisite, or compensation of any kind from Marlon county.' Un der the law he must pay hit stenographer, his office rent, furnish his stationery, type writer, and atamps out. of his salary. These expenses actually reduce his salary to $1800 a year. For many years the coun ty court has paid these expen ses. As a result the district at torney has received $900 a year at the sufferance of the county court. "The district attorney is not only the legal advisor of all county officials, but If any county official violates the law, it becomes the duty of the dis trict attorney to prosecute him. It the members of the county court pay out money not auth orized by law, It becomes the duty of the district attorney to force them to make restitution thereof. If they refuse or fail to collect money due the coun ty, they are likewise responsi ble. They could be indicted, if guilty, for malfeasance in of fice. "This situation Is not only violation of public policy, but It has become Intolerable. I, therefore, request that' you in crease tbe district attorney'a salary to $3(00 a year."
