school were considered Wednes
day night at a meeting of the lo
cal advisory committee for de
fense education, headed by Supi
Frank B. Bennett. ' Approval by
the state board for vocational ed
ucation ia needed.
The increase is made possible
by summer vacation of the pub
lic schools and is called for by
increased need of trained defense
workers. No further extension is
to be made, however, in the avia
tion sheet metal classes because
the board expects 1 the present
schedule sufficient to meet the
demand.
Members of the committee are
Harry Scott and Robert Crawford,
J r., " employer representatives;
William En tress and Herb Barker,
employe representatives; W. H.
Baillie, Salem director of the state
employment office; Frank G.

rights of labor and agriculture to
organize and to bargain collec
tively, but the emergency requires
immediate, effective authority and
action to eliminate all threats of
violence, destruction of property,
intimidation, coercion and illegal
collusive practices whether in in
dustry, labor or agriculture,"
The statement nrged that, in
sofar as practicable, the costs of
the defense program be paid
from current income, adding
"this retakes a tax program
with a broad base. , in which
everyone will take part la ac
cordance with his ability to pay.
In this emergency all unwar
ranted profits ef industry, labor
sad agriculture should be re
captured by appropriate taxa
tion to help pay the cost of the
defense program."

sued the statement were Presi
dent Edward A. O'Neal of the
federation, L. J. Taber, head of
the grange, and H. . Babcock
and: N. C. Williamson of the
council.
They also requested that agri
culture be given equal recogni
tion with industry and labor and
be represented on all national de
fense agencies, and advocated a
farm prices,- industrial prices and
wages for labor.

June if matters were not mean

It was, however, an implication
that squared not at all with some
what 4 roundabout reports from
Vichy France, on the same sub
ject of the Ukraine, , :
Tha-sense or These reports ana
they were heard in diplomatic cir
cles was . that Adolf ;. Hitler and
Joseph Stalin in a1 recent secret
meeting had made a deal by which
wheat production m the "Ukraine

mit it to serve ax the breadbas
ket' for the whole of Europe in
Hitler's new scheme to tie Europe
and Africa closely together.
' Whatever the altlmate meaa
mg of an these reports they did
reflect a sense ef the Imminence
.of Important events that per
vaded Europe, aad one thing
appeared, reasonably probable:
-That the axis was Indeed
yifnif; gome sort of new
move, and that perhaps it was
to be oa the diplomatie front.
This was suggested by a wire
less announcement . from Berlin
that Mussolini would make an
important declaration' today, Fri
day, before an extraordinary ses
sion of his fascist -grand council.
When the axis gives advance ad
vertising, tot such a thing,,- it us
ually means that an adventure in
persuasion is under way, -
As to the middle east, it seemed
Impossible that a great, show

on the contrary sought to -show
that fte British (were taking the
initiative, asserting that British
soldiers were making read
Thursday night .to land on the
north Syrian coast and to attack
from .Palestine . and Trans-Jordan.
The Turks, non - belligerent
' British allies, were in great fear.
Their foreign minister, Sukra
Saracogla, called la German
Ambassador Frans von Papen
and was understood to have
told him that Turkey was most
anxious about reports of the
German movement Into Syria
and weald take additional "se
curity" measures along her awn
southeast frontier.
- The French government at
Vichy, whose at least nominal
control of Syria made It the key
to the German plans, seemed to
be Jeaning more and more to the
German side."" ' ' ,
To that government during the
day Cordell Hull, the US secre
tary of state, directed a state
ment that French-German collab
oration was "inimical?- to the
rights of the United States and
other nations and- he Indicated
that the American policy toward
France was changing a policy
whicn had been "continue friend
ly and helpful cooperation with
France." : . .j -
