SPRAGUE, President ! ,y U Member of The Associated Press ' The Associated Presa is excluslrely entitled to the Die tor. f publication of all newt dispatches credited to It or net other wise credited In this newspaper. Retail Trade Distribution Salem and its immediate environs territory in which under any circumstances Salem would be the natural center for all retail trade account for approximately half of Mar Ion county's population of slightly more than 75,000. Salem's-537 retail stores enjoyed, in 1939, total sales of $20,279,000. The almost equal number, 503, of retail stores outside of Salem sold goods amounting to $6,605,000. Judg ing purely from the census figures, retail trade outside of Salem did not fare badly. The 2530 persons, including pro prietors and employes and likewise counting employes not directly engaged in selling, had total sales averaging about (8000 per employe. The 954 persons similarly engaged in re tail trade outside of Salem had total sales averaging about $6900 per capita. Considering overhead costs in the larger city establishments and the breakdown which shows an even greater preponderance of heavy merchandise sold in Salem, the crossroads stores and those in Silverton, Woodburn and the smaller cities must be, in general, "doing all right." Still, the comparison of Salem's total trade with that of the remainder of the county tells a story that has to do principally with the development of good roads and of the "motorized family;" in other words, with the universality Of the automobile. People are inclined to do their buying a little farther from home and the trade of the crossroads stores and the smaller cities has suffered. Most serious casualty has been the old-fashioned "gen ral store." For all of Oregon, this type of business has de clined 65 per cent in number of establishments and 67 per cent in sales, in the last decade alone. There are only about 250 such stores now in Oregon, 17 of them in Marion county. In food sales, the small city and rural stores have not fared as badly as in the all-merchandise comparison. They sell close to one-third of the food that is handled. Salem has a big edge in the department store field, still bigger in wear ing apparel and furniture. When it comes to hardware, lum- r and building material the establishments outside of Sa n handle almost one-third. Drug stores in the smaller com munities also do well. And as for the automobile, the thing that caused this trend, while the Salem dealers sell more than 80 per cent of the cars and repair parts, outside-of -Salem filling stations do better than any other class of busi ness; there are 77 filling stations in Salem or were in 939 compared to 112 elsewhere in the county. Those out side the city enjoyed almost 40 per cent of the business. Retail merchants in communities outside of Salem doubt less regret this long-distance shopping "trend; if it is any comfort to them, Salem merchants have almost equal cause to regret it. There is a theory that Salem people trade in Portland, the people from Marion county's smaller cities trade in Salem and those from er cities. The census figures support the theory. For each person in Marion county, retail sales in the county amounted to $358 in 1939. For each person outside the immediate Salem trade area, retail sales outside of Salem amounted to about 1174. But for every person living in Portland, retail sales in that city abounted to about $590. "That's where our money goes. From Thiers . France is more cut and any other she has suffered since the English armies chased her queen and dauphin south century. In 1525 her king was captured by' the Spanish and afterwards ransomed: in 1713 she was forced to accede to the treaty of Utrecht, but did not suffer invasion. In 1815 the ill-clad armies of Bleucher and Yorck stormed down the Oise and the Seine into Paris, where the populace greeted them with joy and pulled down Napoleon's column in the Vendome . to show their enthusiasm. But not harsh, once Louis XVIII marck met Thiers in the garden house of Versailles almost as an equal, and concluded terms with him which France was able to meet inside of three years. But this time it is different. When Hitler defeated France t he meant to insure that France would never again become a power with whom Germany, would have to reckon on equal terms, at least within the "thousand years" for which he has undertaken to the Vichy government rules much more by the leave of Hit ler than ever the National Assembly, of 1871 ruled by the fiat of Bismarck and of William I. This has been illustrated Vichy regime; but it' has never been more evident than in the weeks iust cast durinir which the fate of Pierre Laval has been a bone of contention between the reich and the new French state of Marshall Petain. Laval was dropped, and at Once German discontent was manifest; later he had a per sonal conference with the aged were reported healed. But still he has not been taken into the government, and the pro-German minorities of Paris grow more dissident and more vocal. This would not be quite so bad were it not for the pro gress of events ?in Africa, where the army of General Wey gand is under constant pressure to participate in the British victory in Libya. General DeGaulle made such an appeal last week, only to be answered by Weygand with the latter's peculiar brand of personal fidelity to Petain, which is, to speak the truth, about the only bond which still seems to hold the French Algerian empire loyal to the Vichy government. Should Petain suddenly fall victim to the Naziphiles in Paris, Weygand,who still hates the Germans more than the British, could hardly fajl, to come in on their side. What Admiral Darlan's French fleet would do, however, is an entirely dif ferent matter, and one not capable of easy solution. Only the end of the war can finally solve the French problem. If Germany wins, she will be nothing more than Frankmark the Frankish province west of Lotharingia. If Britain prevails against the might of Germany, she may again take, her place as the most graceful of all nations. But In either case she has far to go, and a stony road to travel. State Labor Department . From time to time movements aimed at consolidation of various state departments have been launched with no appreciable success to date. The less ambitious proposal of Rep. J. D. Perry to consolidate all those state agencies deal ing with labor, under one. commission. may, because of its simplicity, fare somewhat better. ; The logic of the proposal to combine the workman's compensation and unemployment compensation commissions " 1j obvious since they already have the same personnel.

HENDRICKS The John Sager tory 2-4-41 of Mrs. Morrow again: no loyal Northwesterner will deny honor to bra Ye boy: H , Some reader wlU recall the story of the Sager family in this column for the issues of Decem ber 1Z to 18, 1940. Copies of the paper and a letter were sent to The Reader's Digest. In answer, a letter from The Reader's Digest, editorial office, Pleasantvllle, New York, was re ceived, reading: t . I "Please accept our belated thanks tor your letter of Decem ber twentieth, and for the conies of the Oregon Statesman which yon sent as. i "Careful study of your column with its detailed criticism of 'Child Pioneer has led us reluct antly to reeognise certain histori cal inaccuracies in Mrs. Morrow's account of John Sager's journey. T, "May we point out, however, that the story is not presented as a factual account; It was admit tedly 'gleaned from letters and diaries of Oregon pioneers.' Such sources are very apt to contra dict each other, and much of their information is likely to consist of hearsay, rather than eye-witness, evidence. "It was hoped that readers would take these considerations into account, even while drawing inspiration from the 'blood and iron' of John 8ager, which you as a loyal Northwestern will cer tainly not deny- his memory. "Thanks again for checking up on us, and for the additional in formation you hare supplied. Sincerely yours, The Editors. Certainly, no loyal Northwest erner will deny the memoir of John Sager the honor due it for his "blood and iron" faithfulness, and for the bravery which he dis played in the Whitman massacre the bravery which cost him his life. Nor would this writer detract one deserved jot or tithe or tittle from the memory of Mrs. Mor row, now deceased. S "a But that author (Mrs. Morrow) had already been conspicuously called to account for statements tending to cast aspersions upon the memory of Narclssa Whit man, martyred victim of the mas sacre in which John Sager lost his life. And she (Narcissa Whitman) was as fine a woman as ever walked the earth. S So, the member of the editorial staff of The Reader's Digest should have been a little more on his guard; the member who went back some 14 years to dig up a story from (of all places) a de funct Hearst magasine; a story as impossible as a f 1 i g h t to- the moon; as untrue as that the moon is made of green cheese. This writer has nothing against the Reader's Digest. In fact, he is a Reader's Digest fan; thinks that publication is in many ways the greatest in the world, or that ever was in this world. To tell the many ways In which that publication Is great and unique and remarkable would re quire too much space. It has a history that is wonderful, and ought to be told. This column hopes, some day, to give the prin cipal points of it. The editorial writer (or selec ter) who was fooled by the 14 year old fable will probably not be caught again. Though, of course, he may. This columnist has worked In his line more years than he wants to tell, and he has been fooled many times and even yet has no illusions of being immune. S mm One of the outstandingly great things about The Reader's Digest is that it has acquired the great est circulation of any magazine or newspaper on earth, without de pending to the extent of one cent upon advertising for whiskey or gin or intoxicants of any kind. or on cigarette or other tobacco boosting. That is remarkably unique, when it is considered that the main stay of most of the great magailnes is upon the space sold for booze exploitation. j Social Security Extension Voted The senate resolutions com mittee Monday reported out favor ably a memorial to congress urg ing that the federal social securi ty law be extended to include pub lic employes, farmers and persons who own their own businesses. I Theodore Nelson of Salem, ex ecutive secretary of the Oregon Pension federation appeared be fore the committee.. He said it would be an injustice not to ex tend security benefits to these persons.

Pendleton East Oregonlan. - OIEGON eTTATESMAIL Salsa, 1 .Vrrcdi J.imwifi'- Wotan's Chapter 15 Continued The following morning, Sir John Meredith called again at Scotland Yard and stopped for a few minutes with Halley of the Special Branch to ask him If he could get him some information concerning the man who called himself Igor Levlnsky. Then he drove to a club for lunch, where he met the tall, grey-haired Scotsman wha was the chief of the combined Intelligence Depart ments of the Foreign and Colon ial Offices. "Hello. Sir Hector. Will you lunch with me?" he asked. "Hello, Meredith," cried McAl lister. "You're Joining me." While enjoying an excellent Amontillado at a small table, the intelligence chief asked, "You don't speak German, do you?" Meredith looked surprised. "Only a few words. Enough to ask my way to the nearest beer garden." "That's a pity," remarked Sir Hector and relapsed into silence. Sir John watched his quietly and then said, smiling, "The last time you acted like this with me, It was the prelude to your pack ing me off to Arabia after the Shaikh al Jebal. What are you thinking about now Germany?" The big man sighed, drank the remainder of his sherry, put down his empty glass, and ob served, "I wish you could speak Today's Garden By L.ILLIE L MADSEN Requests for shrubs that flower In July and August are reaching me from gardeners who desire to make additional plantings this spring. It is true, that variety of late summer blooming shrubs is re stricted' but there are a number of attractive shrubs that do bloom during these two months. Frequently heading lists of these summer blooming shrubs, one finds the Scots bell heather (erica cinerea). These come in white, in a rich purple and in fine pink shades. The Cornish heath and the Dorset heath also bloom in late summer. Then there are a number of yellow brooms such as genista aetnensls, spartium junceum, gen ista virgata, eystus nigricans, and others. These do well In sunny places. Hydangea Hortensls, in blue and pink colors, are well known here and like best a place in at least a semi-shade. Pruning of these should be done In esrly spring when each stalk is cut down to one pair of dormant buds of last year's young wood. The hardy fuchsia, rkcartanil, with ita pedent coral-red flowers. Is one of the attractive blooming plants in August. Ventlan sumach (rhus continus) is also listed al one of the desireable mid-summed blooming shrubs. It grows about eight feet high and has', rosy flowers of curious shape. Two evergreen shrubs with white flowers are escallonla lveyl and hoheria populnea. The .hoh eria almost reaches the , propor tions of a small tree. .- And don't forget the hardy hi biscus .which blooms In late July through August into September. .

Tuesday Morning, xecniary , ii "Only One More River to Wedge German. I could use you. Once more McAllister relapsed into silence and Meredith regard ed him, his eyes twinkling. "Come on, Sir Hector," he said, 'let's have it. Even if you can't use me, you know that my middle initial Is 'O' and that it doesn't stand for Oswald or Osrlc, but Oyster. That's me." he nodded. "The Nazis worrying you?" Sir Hector shook his head. "There's a very big Nasi worry ing me. At least," he qualified his statement, "I suppose he's a Nazi." "Hitler, Goebbels, Ribbentrop?" suggested Meredith. Once more the big man shook his head. "No," he replied. He's called Max van Wallenfels." "Never heard of him," ex claimed Meredith, and then, a moment ' later, "Yes, I have, by Jove, he's a soldier. Isn't he?" Sir Hector nodded. "Yes, he's a soldier," he said. "And a good one too. His full name aqd title is General Prince Max Carl Adolf von Frltzen von Wallenfels." "H'm," said Meredith. "Quite a lot of him." "As a matter of fact, there is," said McAllister. "He's a terrific fellow, about five inches over six feet." Sir Hector laid down his soup spoon and leaning forward once more, went on. ."He's dropped the title now. Just calls himself General von Wallenfels. He's been a soldier all his life and is the real thing in top-notch German aristocracy. One of the princely families of Europe and that sort of thing. Started in the old White Hussars to whom I was attached one year during maneuvres be fore 1914. A grand regiment, the Hussars! Max von Wallenfels was an A.D.C. to the Kaiser and In the last official war was on the staff of the Crown Prince. I've heard lots of fellows say that if little Willie had listened a bit more to friend Wallenfels they would have taken Verdun. That's as may be, but he is a first rate soldier. And for some years now, ever since Hitler came Into power, he's been practically my opposite number." "Intelligence s e r v i c e," r e marked Meredith. Sir Hector nodded. "Absolute ly! And he Is extremely clever. I'd give my right eye to know what he's up to at the moment." "How old is he?" "I don't think he's sixty yet," replied Sir Hector. "I knew his wife at .one time when I was at Heidelberg. She was Princess Katherine's daughter." "Youi mean the old girl who used to smoke cigars and gave he husband a caning when she found hlmwith that grand duch ess?" "Yes. The girl was a poor dis pirited sort of creature. Quite un like her mother. Anyway, she married Max von Wallenfels. They had no children. He's the last of his line." i "I'm beginning to remember now, said Meredith. "Wasn't there some famous, er er scan dal connected with the Wallen fels a good many years ago?" "There was," said Sir Hector. "I was in Germany at the time when its lid blew off in . Court circles. It seems that young Wal lenfels killed a friend in a duel and was sent to a military fort ress for three years to tool, off, and that tragic duel publicized the Tery thing they wanted to hide. It was his sister., you know. "What became of her?" asked Meredith curiously.

"She never got over the result of that duel." "And the child?" The big Scotsman shrugged "Farmed out somewhere, I sup pose." He leaned back to allow the waiter to, plafie a steak in front of him and said. "Well that's a long cry from Rugen Is- iana. "From what?" "Rugen Island, an irregular shaped bit of land off the coast of Pomeranla, near Stralsund." "And Rugen is, I suppose," aald Meredith quietly, "the. reason why It's a pity I don't speak Ger man?" "Precisely," replied the chief of the Intelligence Department. then asked a question which as tonished the other. "D'you know young Bobby Fairweather?" (To be continued) Senate Refers Banking Bills Two bills, slated for third read ing in the senate Monday, were re-reterred to committees for fur ther Investigation. One bill, by Senator Walter E Pearson, Multnomah county, re lates to loans of Irreducible school, university and state col lege funds. The other bill, by the committee on banking, relates to the issuance of stock by corpora tions. Both bills were re-referred to the senate banking committee from which they originally were reported out favorably.

When they see local stocks of value, or each rich prize as Americas aecaritte or gold, they require the own ers te "sell" these to them. : The "selling" process is ,even neater. The Germans pay the own er of the valuables in the local currency of the occupied coun tryfranc in France, guilders in Holland. This currency is obtained mainly by levying upon the occu pied country the cost of occupa tion, fines, assessments, wnatever sums the Germans say are neces sary.

They are. being forced into ini tiation. -I ' The polite finesses; of this form of robbery may sound complicated. The results could not be simpler.

The cost is footed by the subject nations which squeeze themselves into inflationary bankruptcy to raise the ' money so they may be robbed. - The work of this nazl wrack upon Europe can be observed' on prices on the bourses In Amster dam and Paris. A continuous rise in the value of securities has been noticeable since June. Prices have more than doubled, in growing realization of the inflation that is being forced upon them. But food and commodity prices in the occupied areas have not risen. The nazls control the costs of these staples. They only let the stock markets go The system is not new. It w a s worked first in Czechoslovakia and Poland before its advent into western Europe, and to a limited extent in Germany itself before that. Germans were required to register their stock holdings ear ly under Hitler. In Many cases, holdings of Jews were subse quently confiscated 1 because the owners were absent or had fled the country. In cases where a particular business is privately owned and has no public issue of common stock, the naxis look up the own er and require him to sell at a fixed price. The extent of these operations la western Kurope up to the end of November Is evident in the fact that the subject na tions had then paid since June over S billions in reichsmarks as cost of 5. months of occupa tion. Hitler's shotgun "buying" of American stocks, as a sideline of the process, will cause no heavy worry here.
