Of Reserves Told
; Coordinator Will Be Named
: Next Week; Registrations
O f Volunteers Set Soon
, ; . " By ISABEL CHILDS
. " No amateur sleuthing, persecution of so-called subversive
elements, no flaunting of expensive uniforms is to feature civilian
participation in the war now threatening, Chairman Douglas Mc
Kay and State Defense Coordinator Jerrold Owen assured mem
bers of Marion county's defense council as it met in organization
session Friday night in Salem chamber of commerce rooms.
1 The part of civilians, speakers
constantly emphasized, is likely to
be similar to that played in na
tions now involved in war: Keep
ing communications lines open,
protection of public utilities and
Industries by fighting fires, build
ing public morale, meeting the
DOUGLAS McKAY
emergencies of the moment with
prepared organization, and pos
sibly air-raid protection.
First activity expected of the
county organization, Owen - de
clared, is to be enrollment of the
Oregon Civil Reserves, volunteer
. service for which both men and
women will be eligible.
Among other questions, reg
istrants will be asked if they
would be willing to submit to
beta flnaerprlnted for FBI
records. Three character refer
ences for ability and loyalty will
be required of each applicant.'
From this group of registrations,
each of which may contain an
expressed preference as to field
of service, will be selected men
and women to receive special train-,
lng as police and fire-fighting re
serves; persons who will comprise
the great planned network of air
warning service, and those who
will do the more prosaic tasks
required of first aid workers and
home economists.
Not a cent of payment for
these services nor even expenses
for county defense councils has
been arranred or seems likely
to be provided, Owen declared.
Only funds in sixht to-da to for
the program are those asked of
the federal government by the
national director, Mayor F. IL
LaGuardto of New Tork City,
who has requested appropria
tion of $99,000,000 for emerg
ency purchases of flre-flfhtlng
and police equipment, he sold.
That equipment is to be por
tioned out to communities where
It is needed, to be returned after

Ford Signs
Union Pact
Contract Includes
Dues Check-off;
Wages to Rise
WASHINGTON, June 2H)-
The Ford Motor company, last of
the big non-union firms in the
automobile industry, signed a con
tract with CIO's united auto work
ers union Friday, agreeing to a
union shop, and a dues check-off.
The conclusion of the history
making pact after a fortnight of
negotiations, took place in the
office of CIO president Philip
Murray and in the presence of
Harry Bennett, Ford personnel
director, and more than a score
of company and union repre
sentatives. By the signing of the agree
ment, Ford becomes the first big
producer in the motor car field
to install a union shop and the
checkoff system by. which the
company deducts union dues from
the pay envelopes and pays them
over to the union treasury.
Under the terms of the union
shop clause, all Ford workers
must remain or become members
of the CIO union. The union, in
turn, agreed to accept all Ford
workers into its ranks. A union
shop differs from a closed shop
in that, under the closed shop,
the union usually supplies the la
bor force.
The contract specified no fixed
amounts by which wages are to
be increased, but statement by
R. J. Thomas, union president,
said the company agreed to pay
wage rates ?which will be at least
equal to the highest paid in the
various classifications by other
motor car companies. The com
pany has 120,000 employes but
there was no Indication how many
would receive raises.

WASHINGTON, June 20-V
Without a record vote, the senate
approved Friday a relief fund of
$936,900,000 for the fiscal year
beginnig July 1 but ignored Presi
dent Roosevelt's request for elim
ination of a number of existing
restrictions on WPA.
The measure now goes back
to the house for consideration of
950,485,000 of senate increases as
well as numerous other amend
ments. Both the senate and the house
approved the $875,000,000 asked
by the president to provide Jobs
or an estimated 1,000,000 persons
during the 12 months beginning
July 1. This was a sharp reduc
tion below the $1,381,000,000
available for WPA during the
present fiscal year when an aver
age of 1,700,000 persons were em
ployed. WPA headquarters already
had notified state and local of

must be dropped from relief

Accuses Nazis
Of Piracy in
Moor Sinking
By The Associated Press i
In a solemn message to con
gress. President Roosevelt ac
cused Germany Friday of trying
to capture the high seas in an
outlaw plan for world conquest,
and he declared before the
United States and the world:'
"We are not yielding and we
do not propose to yield."
He did not say Just how this
country would meet the German
policy of lawlessness and terror
on land and piracy on the sea"
whether, for example, by arm
ing merchant ships or putting the
fleet into action to protect them
nor did he recommend any spe
cific line of action to congress.
Even before Mr. Roosevelt had
thus spoken, there was specula
tion in Berlin as to whether a for
mal break in American-German
relations was in near prospect.
The nazis, seeking to support their
action in ordering the ouster from
the reich and seven occupied ter
ritories of US consular and Ameri-
can
Express employes, insisted
that it was not primarily in re
taliation for similar United States
action against German consular
workers and propagandists.
