OPXCON STATESIIXIT, Salem. Oregon, Tuesday Morning. April 22. 1)41 Snell Driving Class Proves Apt Pupils - Seven consecutive Saturday mornings of going to the state fairgrounds for an hour of driving -instruction brought their reward to 30 women last Saturday when they were told by C. D. French, Salem, state driving instructor, jat they had completed the course prescribed by the secre- .: tary of state's office and were, i with varying amounts of addi- tional practice, ready to apply lor " their goal a driver's license. All the fine points of stopping 1 on a hill, of parallel parking and of giving correct signals were ex plained to the neophytes by I French and were faithfully as similated, if not mastered, by his pupils. What many of the drivers did not know is that their instructor is an author whose first book "Railroad Man" a biography of his father, was published by Mac millan company in 1938. While , giving instructions in the Portland - high schools this week French plans to use his leisure moments in doing research work for a sec ond, volume. During the two years he has : jbeen giving lessons for the state, French believes 2500 people have taken instruction from him. Over 480 pupils in the high schools of . Salem Woodburn, Silverton, Mo lalla, West Linn, Oregon City, Beaver-ton, Hillsboro, Taft, Clo verdale, Tillamook, Dallas, Sheri dan and McMinnville have just completed their instructions given by him. Chamber Hears Talk on War . Merchant shipping on the At lantic, rather than fighting in the Balkans or Africa or bombing in Germany and Britain, is the key to the war's outcome, Dr. R. I. Lovell, professor of history at Willamette university, told mem bers of the Salem chamber of commerce at their Monday lunch eon. Britain's supply situation may be critical by the end of this year unless the submarine warfare is checkmated or replacements for the merchant fleet are built more rapidly, the speaker indicated. The United States could not help- Britain with an AEF of less than ten million men, so there is no prospect of participation soon in land fighting in Europe, Dr. Lovell asserted, nor is there a prospect of direct invasion of this country by nazi forces. The dan ger to America lies in the pene tration of Latin America where there are already 20 million sub jects of the axis powers, many of them in influential positions. Though there have been many stirring events in the war, the most significant steps this year have been theenactment of the lend-lease bill and enabling ap propriations in the United States; the seizure of axis ships in Amer ican harbors, which was legally justifiable, and the agreement to defend Greenland, which was not, Dr. Lovell said. The question of convoys is now paramount, he added. Defining the United States' current posi tion, he said this nation was "in the war" but not "a war."
