PAGE TWO Axis Protests Ship Seizures 1 Embassies Act Quickly When US Takes Ovei 68 as Protection (Continued from page 1) Into "protective custody" on grounds of actual or prospective sabotage. Meanwhile, the Costa Rican government - moved to "protect two axis ships in Punta Arenas harbor, only to be greeted by fires aboard said to have been set by the crews. ; The fires broke out about the time that armed police were approaching to place a sp'acial guard "in order to avoid sabotage." In the Philippines, too, the United States navy took over four Danish vessels in accordance with the sweeping action instituted in the United States- during the weekend. . A high treasury official said the government could take clear title to any of the ships which it could prove were "willfully damaged" by the crews. It was not until after the United States entered the World war that it seized German or other foreign ships in American ports.

A brigadier-g e n e r a 1 in the World war, Dr. Everson told of his experiences in charge, of a di vision sent to bolster Italian mo rale and spoke humorously; of the manner in which the Italians and the Austrians across the battle line were made to believe there were eight divisions. At times the troops would parade, he recalled, and after "passing in re view" would hurry back to the starting point, change from cam paign hats to helmets and join the parade again. I j He told of the intrigue and "rottenness" encountered in the southern campaign and related in cidents which plainly showed that he did not hold the Italians in high esteem ' as fighters. j InOneEas..

The MacDowell club very apparently enjoys singing togeth er; ibr-membership, active in the whole circle of musical Salem, likes to work. Every movement of Director Bernard Barron's baton meant something to the group last night, and the audience suspected that the director at times was respon sible for the laughter on the faces of otherwise serious songsters. Choice of selections was excel lent for a spring concert, and the prevalence of lighter numbers made especially effective the ren dition! of ' Palestrina's "O Bone Jesu'" and Weatherly's "London derry 'Air." A Mozart arrangement of the alphabet and "Show Me How a Gentleman Rides," a German folk song, were pleasing encores for an audience that asked for even more music than chorus and di rector! would present. Filling the difficult role of ac companist for he entire program In a manner that earned her spe cial plaudits was Miss Fla via Downs, Salem pianist.

FDR Returns From Jaunt ABOARD ROOSEVELT TRAIN EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON, March 3 l.VP President Roose velt Monday saw two spectacular demonstrations of the processes by which the army molds men and machines into fighting trim, but he commented particularly on a group of 75 millimeter guns which he said were going to Greece. He said it was all'right for re porters to say that the World war vintage artillery pieces were not all the war equipment which would be dispatched to Greece, but he would not discuss quanti ties. The president's statement that some 75's soon would be on the way to Greece was the first dis closure of any specific kind of weapons which have been re leased to Britain and Greece un der the lease-lend program. Far surpassing anything he had seen before of the actual methods of training were the swiftly paced shows put on by 75,000 men in khaki, first this morning at Fort Jackson, SC, and again late in the afternoon at Fort Bragg, N. C. . The president said he was well satisfied with what he had seen at the two posts and exclaimed in amazement when told that one building at Bragg had been com pleted in 32 minutes. .

Clouds only dripped 1.94 inches here throughout the month. Those aforementioned records, which some say don't lie, reveal that the late lamented month of March left the Salem area with a uew heat record for that month. 7f degrees tabulated on the 27th. day. The month also brought down the Ire of assort ed valley farmers and King Bing Frank Doerfler and his Cher rians for, respectively, crop- stunting early morning rhni temperatures of 32 degrees en the 15th and 24th days and re nigging en prayed-f or - sunshine during the blossom festival.

The majority opinion, by Jus tice Roberts, conceded that -the United States is a juristic person, in the sense that it has capacity to sue upon contracts made with it or in vindication of its property rights' but that the Sherman act -created new rights . . . available only to those on whom they are conferred by the act." The decision said that other sections of the law empowered the government to . act against combinations in criminal and in junctive V proceedings and that congress intended section 7 only for the use of the public.
