by the state civilian defense
council and $30,000, in any one

board in special session Friday.
The funds were taken from a

or for state police expansion
should the emergency board so
decree.
Attorney General I. H. Van-

this money could be vised either
by the state defense council or
the state police without authority
of the emergency board.
Gov. Charles A. Sprague out

multiplied rapidly during the
past few months. He declared
that all of the 36 Oregon coun
ties were now organized and
functioning on a defense basis.
A budget prepared by Jerrold
Owen, state civilian coordinator,
estimated that approximately
$1100 would be required monthly
to meet the financial demands of
defense council activities. Bills
already contracted by the council

Salem Talk
"I'm not for the war but the
war is for us," Jay Allen, foreign
correspondent and recent prisoner
of the Germans in occupied
France, told a Salem audience in
the high school auditorium Fri
day night Denying any intent to
preach intervention, he said he
could see only three alternatives
for the United States; fight and
win the war, fight and lose the
war for failure to start soon
enough, or do nothing and lose
the war "and our souls as well.'
If Hitler becomes convinced
that he cannot win, before that
fact Is too obvious he will move
for peace on seemingly g-ener-ons
terms and they probably
will be accepted, In Allen's ex
pressed opinion. For the most
part he avoided "crystal-casing"
and presented a factual
though whimsical account of his
experiences In prison and bis
observations In Vichy and in
occupied Franee.
Frencn fascists, Petain among
them, surrendered when it wasn't
necessary, for what they thought
was their own good and that of
France, but they are bitter now
because "Hitler betrayed every
one, but especially his friends,'
Allen observed. He said France
lost because it was divided, one
group swearing by Hitler and an
other worshiping Stalin.

Sprague Speaks

.At Wire Conclave
PORTLAND, Ore, Oct 3
A free press needs liberty and
the courage to' use it, Gov. Charles
A. Sprague said Friday night at
the annual banquet of the North

meeting.
If the press lacks the, courage
to make full use of, liberty, the
governor said, it has no assur
ance that it wUl retain it.
A free press alone is not a
complete safeguard against des
potism, he warned. The danger
of despotism rests en constant
social dislocations with depres

The crisis of the present Can
only be solved, - he asserted
through removal of the underly-;

Democratic processes are in ac

the temperature and spirit of the
age. The revolution sweepjng Eu-j

Revision of Act
In Near Future ;
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-(JPf-
President Roosevelt reiterated
Friday that congress would be
asked to revise the neutrality
act and said t&at a final deci
sion on amendments to be re
quested would be reached ata
conference 'With senate leaders
of both parties next Tuesday.
At the same time, he said that
American merchant ships could
not-be armed against the at-
tacks of axis submarines without
the approval of congress. Congres
sional policy on that question had
been so clearly expressed, he said,
that it would not be right for him
to try to wiggle out of it
The latter statement was made
as part of his response to a re
quest for comment on the propos
al of Senator Pepper (D-Fla) that.
Mr. Roosevelt simply revoke the
proclamation issued under1 the
neutrality act This would have
the effect of lifting most of the
restrictions of that law." v ,
The president said "he thad
never heard of the Fepper plan .
which was advanced by the
Florida senator In a senate
speech Thursday. Then, cautioning-
the reporters against
trying to construe his remarks,
Mr. Roosevelt went on to dis

can ships could carry cargoes to
England.
He asked whether an area of
the sea in which one ship out of
