A 1 Ml i! . M VA and Russia was a PauUMallon "scoop" two weeks ago... But the first definite information of the Hitler-Stalin rift which culminated in actual hostilities and the first authoritative pre diction of such an outcome was published a year and two days before this war broke' out and the author was Ralph W. Barnes of Salem, Europe an correspondent of the New York Herald Trib une who was later killed in a plane crash in Yugoslavia. Barnes' dispatch disclosing .this develop ment, filed in Berlin June 19, 1940,. was in fact the cause of the order two days later that he leave Germany. The dispatch, reprinted in the Herald Tribune last week, said in part: BERLIN, June 19 As France waited for - Armistice terms and Great Britain faced possi ble invasion, a drama was being unrolled today In eastern Europe which, .under other circum stances, would have attracted primary atten tion. With half a million or more Soviet troops occupying the three Baltic states of Lithuania, . Latvia and Estonia, the Soviet-German pact of non-aggression of last August, which- at no '. time was based on anything more substantial than opportunism, appeared to have been li quidated in fact, though not in theory. - . To put it bluntly, the Wilhelmstrasse and, presumably, Fuehrer Adolf Hitler himself are . angered by this abrupt occupation in force of the Baltic states by the Red army. In effect, the Soviet-German pact of Aug ust recognized this area as a sphere of Soviet influence, but this was the case only because at the time it suited the purposes of Der Fuehrer. He and his aides will not forget the act of Mos cow in sending a powerful mechanized army into the Baltic area while the bulk of the Ger- m?n fighting force is occupied in the west - - There is no reason to doubt the reports from Kaunas and elsewhere of German troop movements in East Prussia. . . Undoubtedly they are intended only to have a deterrent ef fect. Presumably, no one in the Soviet Union considers it advisable to tackle today a Ger many victorious in the west. Likewise, it is not reasonable to think that any one in the German high command has any thought of an attack on Soviet Russia now, or even soon. .What Is hap pening today in the Baltic may not have Its se quel until next year or the year after. iMost observers have found it difficult to envisage Hitler, not preoccupied elsewhere, leaving undisturbed in Soviet hands a territory which was conquered centuries ago by Teuton ic knights and which up to 1939 was domina ted in some degree by their descendants in the foim of the Baltic barons. . . One point is certain. Soviet-German rela tions have cooled remarkably in recent weeks. . - Barnes concluded with the quotation from Mein Kampf relative to the Ukraine which was carried in this column on Tuesday. His dis patch is reprinted here today not only to call at tention to the fact that a Salem man was among the first to "call the turn" but in order to fix the approximate date when the Berlin-Moscow rift began." Ncuberger Reports Members of Oregon's 1941 legislative as sembly well knew, when Richard Neuberger took his place among them, that they were go lnf to be "written up in the magazines." Dough ty Dick wrote one analysis for the United Press which was widely circulated; now his article "I Go to' the Legislature" has appeared in Survey Graphic. . ' ; Comparing his over-all impressions of the session with our own final conclusions in which the final hectic night of lawmaking holds per haps unwarranted vividness, we find Neuber- ger's verdict decidedly mild. Considering the lugubrious fate of most of his own pet Ideas, it may be observed that his appraisal of the leg islature is surprisingly charitable. His major criticism is found in this paragraph: The outstanding human shortcoming in the legislature is timidity. In front of most of the members, tantalizingly near, is the will-o'-the-wisp lure of higher office. The temptation is . strong to avoid taking a position on red-hot Is sues. Why court disasterf One parti culamleg islstor can be depended upon to develop a stomach attack the night before a bristling question is scheduled for debate. We never learned the truth of the report that on the evening of one of these convenient "attacks" ..a well-tipped bellboy smuggled a sirloin steak , and hashed-browns into his hotel room. Yet Neuberger is not sure, having been "on the inside," that the timidity of politicians ex ceeds that of any other group. Recalling the deft, positive strokes with which he has paint ed word-pictures of other large concepts, we are a bit disappointed in his appraisal of the lawmaking process and those who engage in- it. Pet haps the trouble is that he was "on the in side," that he got too close to the scene to see it. in broad outline. Relief Relief administration in Marion county de veloped, several years ago when the need for public assistance was more evident than it is -todayi some serious flaws which were first brought to public attention by this, newspaper. Light shed upon the matter at that time was beneficial. Now the grand jury has brought In 'a report which is critical but at the same time temperate. ' .. More case workers and other changes design ed to expedite service in cases of need are rec ' ommended; the present quarters of the public welfare commission are deemed unsatisfactory and the method of , budgeting relief expendi tuivs is criticized.' .Unfortunately the report was filed at a time when the county administrator was away on vacation. It would be pointless to discuss the problem in detail prior to his return. About all that may be said authoritatively is that, whatever the cause, there has been excessive delay in the handling of cases. ' 1 Aside from the question of quarters, the problem cited by the grand jury are. related to the statewide administration of public assist- " net-; efforts to bring about improvement where warranted may also bump into obstacles created mm MM Ntf'Tavor Sways V$; No Fear Shall Aic" Trom First Statesman, March 25, 1S31 by the legislature and the budget which cannot now be altered. That difficulties of this nature are foreseen is however no argument against a general airing of the problem. It seems strange that in these reputedly more prosperious times new problems of relief should arise; it also seems stranga that a taff of some 20 workers is inadequate to attend to the work in this county. But since these questions have arisen, their answers need to be sought. and immediate . B-19 Y She flew. "She handled like a million dollars," re marked Major Stanley Umstead after he had pi loted the 82-ton bomber B-19, biggest thing that had ever flown, on its first 65-mile hop. But of course he was under-stating the case, for 'she' cost 3 million dollars; If Marion . county's 3800 workers in manufacturing indus tries had to pay for "her" out of a year's wages they could just barely do it but wouldn't be able to pay the postage; Uncle Sam would have to come and get it. i She flew, and judging from the insurance ,,, figures presented here a couple of weeks ago, she stands an excellent chance to fly safely a greet many more miles. But she was built with the thought that the United States might en gage in war and that in such case she would fight. If those things happen it is likewise quite possible that some day an enemy missile will strike her in a vital spot and down in ruins will come those 3 million dollars. At the moment weperhaps will not have time to think of the constructive, humanitarian things that such a sum might have accomplished. Four teachers in the New York City school system testified in a board of education trial that they had loaned money to their elderly woman principal, or served as co-signers on her bank loan applications, amounting altogether to more than $6000. Still another teacher testified that she had peddled breakfast food which the principal had kept in a warehouse "for years" and had given the principal $2.10 worth of face lotion as a gift. There is more than one way to finance a home in which to retire and more than one way to hold a teaching job. . News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc..-re-; production in whole or In part strictly prohibited.) WASHINGTON, June 28. The national labor relations board, great champion of the union work er (mostly CIO according to the ATL), the Roose i i.ii hi pj iunoa ployees of the board. It seems from this publication that the union of board employees has been dealing with the board for three long and arduous, though very secret, ses sions, trying to get a contract to protect the rights of these said workers. f All that this fair-minded union bargaining committee has been, able to get out of the capital istic ogre that the board has turned out to be, is a proposal that the agreement be along lines which the board has never countenanced before. The board proposes an open shop, no checkoff, and says nothing about better wages, hours or working con ditions in its contract. This is not the worst. It act ually officially recommended that all it would do about labor's grievances would be to "consider them.' Reserving the right to hire and fire on merit, the suggested agreement proposed by the board supervisors would merely allow labor to complain, first to assistant chief clerks, then to clerks and di rectors, and finally to the board itself, from which there would be no appeal. Naturally no fair-minded labor group would accept such a proposal. Labor sets forth its case against its traitorous former champion In its own publication. Labor offered a substitute proposal setting forth genuine protective measures for, sal ary increases without favoritism, promotion by sen iority, a ban against layoffs without four weeks notice, and a union shop whereby the board fills vacancies from union rolls. ' Wrath of the union has naturally risen, because the shoe they offer is the same which the board has fitted to many an industrial foot In fact. It is so matt, it has hired a Washington lawyer, Robert E. Sher, to try to keep the board from gypping it. Mr. Sher started off as labor counsel in the June 14 session by charging "certain supervisory personnel" of NLRB with anti-union activity. He named three names "particularly, General Counsel Watts, Executive Secretary Stern, and Director of Personnel Stover. Mr. Watts, according to the re lator, related be had for some time been of the opinion that the union proposal was not workable from the management standpoint Board Member Dr. Leiserson was quoted as criticizing the Union "considerably," characterizing its technique as "inept" and some of its activities as "improper.' , Board Chairman Millis made the point, the magazine said, that he opposed bringing in an out side arbitrator "who doesn't know the peculiar con ditions of our Industry.' The third meeting? on June 24, adjourned with out agreement and it appears that the union may have to call a strike, defense program or no defense program, in order to get its just dues. This change of party line in the labor board, when the shoe was applied to its own foot, may be . juzt as shocking as Some of the switches on the par ty line recently in dear old Moscow, but is not like ly to have the same results. The labor relator notes that its executive committee decided to "use publi city in connection with its barxaininz negotiations CO.

HENDRICKS "Who are the quislings?" 6-29 41 is an inquiry coming to this desk. It is a new name for an old rascal and traitor: v y v As announced In this column yesterday, anlnquiry reaches this desk concerning the mean ing of the word quisling, used by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in his great and his toric address to the world from London on Sunday night last Quisling is a new word for traitor that will now go into every language. It is a word for a very scurvy and low traitor; somewhat "lower than the whales." 4 y v The Living Age magazine un dertook in its issue of July 2, 1940, to define this "new word for traitor," and made a good job of it, worthy of that author ity that was established at Bos ton in 1844. It "runs something like this: f "Dara Noiac Vidkun Quisling (Vldkun Quisling for short) is the person who has given a new -name for traitor (or "fifth col umnist") to all living lan guages." Quoting: S "The name of Quisling will go down in history not because he was, for a few short days, fol lowing the betrayal of his coun try, Norway's nominal ruler by the grace of Hitler, nor because he was the spearhead of the fifth column which helped to pave the way for the invaders, but because his name has en tered the languages of the world as the generic term for a new type of traitors who hope to win at least nominal power by sur rendering their countries to foreign aggressors. "Such, men as Hocha, presi- ' dent of nazi-controlled Bohemia-Moravia; Seyss-I nquirt, who prepared for Austria's an nexation by Germany; Mussert of Holland and Degrele of Bel gium, who played similar roles, as well as Mosley, the black shirt -leader of England, and Abetz of France whose efforts were nipped in time are now Cermaa soldiers la a rubber beat Germaay and Kassia, to lia backgroand But in Different Hands ' often referred to as the quislings of their countries. "When a few months ago, Rauschnigs book, Hitler Told Me,' was prohibited in Switz erland, even those who banned it hardly suspected how soon his prophecies would become facts. "Rauschnig heard from the mouth of the 'fuhrer himself that in the forthcoming war he would not be satisfied with the use of arms alone. No; his sys tem was the calculated use of deceit, to gain followers .by bribery and threats, and to con fuse public opinion, and open the road to the German advance by weakkenlng resistance. . s vv "In every country even in the least and healthiest nations there are isolated scoundrels and fools who, to obtain power, would be willing to make com pacts with the devil himself. "Such a man is Vidkun Quis ling. What makes the case of Quisling particularly detestable is that he was not a nonentity ' like Kunsinen. He is listed in the European Who's Who as a 'Nor wegian officer and diplomat' "Born in 1887, he completed his military education in 1911 and began a steady ascent From 1916 to 1917 and 1919 to 1923, he was on the Norwegian gen eral staff, serving as a military attache to Petrogad in 1918-19 and secretary of the legation at Helsingfors from 1919 to 1921r " During - 1922-23 he repre sented Norway on the Ukraine International Relief Committee. V S V "It was then that he met and married his beautiful Russian wife, 1 the former Maria Basi levna Pasek. In 1923 and 1924 he was the League of Nations High Commissioner for Refu gees in the Balkan States, and was secretary and delegate to the Armenian Commission of the League from 1924 to 1926. "While Russo-British rela tions were interrupted (1927-9), Quisling was charged with the care of British interests in Rus sia. Among the books he wrote were 'Russia and Ourselves are aletared abere as they crossed their laraslea ef aevlet seiL Nate . and 'Western and Oriental Poli cies. H "At one time the English held him in such high esteem that he was decorated with the Or der of the British Empire (re cently hastily stricken from the rolls.) Quisling's diplomatic ca reer came to its climax when, from 1931 to 1933, he held the high and responsible post of minister of defence. "It was probably this taste of eminence which turned him into a provincial fuhrer."
