Relative to the bill's provision that natural wines may be served '-by the drink in licensed estab lishments, he said the ordinary serving of wine contained about 1 times as much alcohol as the ordinary serving of beer, though Rep. Jones insisted the content was about equal and that Rep. (Hedlund was mistaken about the capacity of the ordinary wine glass. . Dr. C. T. Hockett (R-Wallowa) said the bill offered some con trol of fortified wine and in re sponse to a question, said such wine was decidedly more injur ious than natural wine though improvement in the quality in the last two years had reduced the number of insanity cases traced to it. Dr. J. F. Hosch (D-De-sehutes) and Rep. Allan Car son (It-Marlon) defended the trade barrier feature, d esc rib lac barriers which, they claimed, California has erected arainst Oregon products. Car son said It was "ridiculous" to arrue that the bill would re duce employment when It was designed to promote a new In- dnstry In Oregon. The berry growers interest was empha- shed by Rep. HV II. Chlndgren (R - Clackamas) but Speaker Robert S. FarreU (R-MulU said developing m quality product was the proper solution. The vote was identical on Rep.

VALSLEV raOYfe 375 Center Street . - - i - - Noted Rlissionary Addresses Students of Willamette "You can choose, but you can't choose the results of your choosing," Dr. . Stanley Jones, noted missionary-evangelist from India, declared Wednesday to students of Willamette university and other listeners, both in the chapel and on the air. Hitler, in spite of his efforts to do otherwise, will create a united Europe with free men, Jones said in exemplifying the statement. Following the theme "What May and Modern Person Be lieve?" Jones, a principal speak er at the National Christian mis sion in Portland this week, stat ed, "You can't live by denials." Reveals Example As examples of the Bible word, "As you sow, so shall you reap, the missionary spoke on France as -succumbing first to militarism after being foremost in militarism at the end of the first World war, Italy getting its return after in vasion of Ethiopia, and the Unit ed States, after "refusing to par ticipate in world reconstruction after the World war, facing the necessity of entering when the world is in "bad shape." The universe is not by chance but by law, Jones reminded. "It would take more faith in 'chance' than I have faith in God" to be lieve that a font of type might ever be thrown into the air and come down in the form of a poem of Milton. In regard' to the theory of evo lution, Jones declared it does not eliminate the necessity of a pow er beyond. "It takes more intelli gence and foresight to hit one ball which will hit others and send them into pockets than to hit the first into the pocket." "No Clash Exists" No clash exists between real science and real religion, Jones stated, for they need each other and are coming together. Science is a power, he said, but it doesn't explain how to use itself. "The reverence and love of religion behind the technique of science will make a good world." "The day is full of faith" from the time a person gets up on through, even in acts which have become habit, Jones brought out, and this faith "which at first you carry, soon carries you." The missionary ended on the note which is the theme of the National Christian mission series, "Christianity Has the Answer." "Christianity,'' he said, "will work to the degree that you work it." CORVALLIS, Ore, Feb. -Christianity is stark realism ra ther than idealism, Dr. E. Stanley Jones, missionary, declared at the Home Interests conference Wed nesday. More than 600 delegates had registered from SO counties at the conference. . . , . 4 , . Dinner Precedes Poling Address Seventy five reservations from various city and valley churches have been received for the dinner being held tonight at 6:30 in the high school cafeteria in connection with the Dr. Dan Poling mass meeting at the high school audi torium at. 8 o'clock. Close to 150 are expected at the dinner which will be served by Chef 'Pop Crary. Don Douris, youth director for the First Presbyterian church, will act as toastmaster, and initi ation of members into the time honored "Royal Order of the Fork is planned. Miss Grace Cramer is chairman of the committee arranging the dinner. Lite reservations will be accepted up to noon today by calling 4894. Court Approves Deputy Payment The Marion county court yester day approved payment of a monthly salary of $175 to Talbot Bennett, deputy of District At torney Miller B. Hayden. The court in the same order also approved payment of $50 monthly stenographic hire, to the office of the district attorney, .a payment which under previous administra tions has also been accompanied by an allowance to the district at torney for office rent Location of the public prosecu tor's office in the courthouse, how ever, has obviated need of such rent allowance. iviiiii iiiiru iriicf The Senate Gets Hot on Aid Opponents Accused of Undermining FDR With Public (Continued from page 1) .. may get into war although I hope we dont If we do all this talk Is going to do us no good." , It- was wrong, the Kentuckian added, for anyone to charge that the president was "trying to get this country into war." Wheeler pounded a desk with a heavy fist and replied: "I'm not saying that the pres ident wants to cet us Into war. I'm taking the president's ewn words." He referred again to the chief executive's press conference statement of Tuesday, which he interpreted as "urging the British people to fight on." He asked how under such circumstances, Amer ica could refuse to go to the res cue of the British 'If they are go ing down." . "What I'm trying to do is be honest with the American people, Wheeler continued. "If this is our war, we ought to go to war. If it's necessary to crush Mr. Hitler and establish the English channel as our first line of defense, we ought to be honest about it. - Tsn net creating the lack ef confidence la the president ef the United States.

"I'm sick and tired of seeing the American people flim-flammed, whether by democrats or republicans. This la a desaoera ey and that means telling the people the truth. If that's being un-American make the most of It." An outburst' of applause from the galleries brought a warning from the chair when Wheeler said that if the president wanted to "stop these trends" all he had to do was support an amendment to the bm "to keep American boys from dying on foreign soil. Warns Isolationists Cities Will Be Bombed But Chandler had not finished. You fellows who call your selves isolationists are going to win some day," he said, his voice rising. "You are going to be com pletely isolated. They will come over from all directions, and they will bomb your cities and your houses." Referring obviously to Whee ler's plea for a negotiated peace, he asserted that it was impossi ble to negotiate with Hitler. One by one the countries who negoti ated with him have been swal lowed up, he said, adding: "And you fellows want to ne gotiate with Hitler. Tm not co in to do it. If you do It you're fools. Again there was burst of ap plause from the spectators. Wheeler swung to the attack again. He said that President Roosevelt would have been de feated in last year's election if the people had known he would pro pose the lease-lend bill, or if it had been included in the demo cratic platform. senator urown (D-Micn) re monstrated that actually the bill was well grounded in provisions of both the republican and demo cratic platforms calling for assist ance to countries which were the victims of aggression. Wheeler said administration efforts to ex pand that phase of the democratic platform had been overwhelming ly defeated by the convention's resolutions committee. "I think the senator from Mon tana (Wheeler) is innocently re sponsible for the feeling that has gone about and abroad that this is an issue of war or peace, said Brown. "I still insist the issue in this bill is war or peace," Wheeler shouted jumping to his feet. paifcnr.ar.to! ilr tAkc aov (SO: . ; Phone 3158 miiiflii'iki iniui OREGON STATESMAN.

John Riffe, a union leader who attended the conference, asserted a "definite attempt" was made to settle the strike which the union claims may embrace other mills of Bethlehem working on $1,500, 000,000 worth of defense con tracts. Riffe stated the union offered to postpone the strike 48 hours, but the company, he said, rejected the proposal. Thomas Burns, a defense com mission representative, said he felt if both sides would be "reason able" the strike could have been averted, and declared efforts to mediate the controversy are "not stopping." "It is too bad the strike dead line was set," he asserted, adding he has no "condemnation for either side.

George C Marshall, chief of staff, and other high-ranking officers conceded that mistakes had been made in the army expansion.

County Balked On Control The Marion county court's plans to use $500 from the emergency fund for predatory animal control in the east part of the county ap parently fell through Wednesday when Miller B. Hayden, district attorney, informed the court that such an expenditure would not be legal. The district attorney told the court that "an emergency fund is . . . created to be used for the purpose of meeting cases of press ing necessity arising suddenly or unexpectedly and requiring prompt action, and therefore . . . can be used only for the pay ment of expenditures made neces sary for some unexpected and un foreseen exigency requiring prompt action." By implication the district at torney ruled that the county's pre vious consideration of the preda tory animal Item at its first bud get meeting, at which the budget committee cut out the sum, and its later consideration at the second budget meeting, when the animal control budget was included, ex eluded it from the category of emergency expenditures. committee would act on the quest. nesteitieLd Eastern Air erDown - J i Eddie RickenLacker of "War Fame Said r llane Passenger Continued from page 1)' aid they had a crow searching the vicinity near Jonesboro.
