The committee demanded that
war posts be awarded to men and
women with tout regard to party
1 affiliation and weeding out of un
: fit political appointees.
It called also for a drastic re
i duction in non-essential spending
and the elimination of "non-essential
domestic regulation."
The committee served notice
that it woald oppose vigorously
any moves by the Roosevelt ad
ministration to "use the war
emergency as an excuse for the

"We demand that such services

these points on conducting the

"Inasmuch aa lack of organiza

is taking place in the Willamette valley, with platoons of cavalry
reserves, Troop C, of the Oregon state guard being organized
throughout this defense area. v

expected to draw a large num
ber of men interested in horses

be able to carry on their usual
occupations while availing them
selves of the opportunity to re
ceive training from men experi
enced in military technique.

with Germany, Laval - said; was
like an obsession" with him.
After recalling the meeting he
arranged between Chief of State
Petain and Adolf Hitter at Mon
toire, at which the policy of co
laboration was arranged, Laval
asserted:
"Since Montoire, since October,
1940, the war has been extended
to all continents and taken on
new significance. To the reasons
which determined us to seek a
policy of accord and reconcilia
non with Germany there have
been, other reasons which art
even more compelling,'
"The gigantte battles which
Germany is waging against
bolshevism," he said, "net only
extended the war bat have re
vealed Its meaning. Do yea
believe that the Soviets, If they
were the winners, weald halt at
ear frontier?
Laval spoke just after bis new
cabinet had held its first meeting
under the chairmanship of Petain.
The chief of state welcomed
the chief of government and min
isters," a post-cabinet meeting
communique said. "President La
val thanked the marshal in his
own name and those of all min
isters and assured him of his com
plete devotion to his person and
to France. Admiral of the Fleet
Darlan attended this meeting."
Earlier it was announced offi
cially that German occupation au
thorities at Rouen have ordered
the execution of 30 French host
ages for the bombing of a Ger
man troop train April 16 in which
a "large number" of German sol
diers were killed.
A German notice said farther
that 8S mere hostages woald be
shot If those guilty ef this at
tack were net tamed ever for
punishment by Thursday. In
addition, 1090 "commvnists,
Jews and sympathizers" were
ordered deported to eastern Eu
rope. To prevent further attacks on
troop trains, the Germans in
structed that henceforth a num
ber of French civilians would.be
forced to accompany German
soldiers on all troop trains.
In still another anti-German
manifestation, the French popu
lar party announced that an at
tempt was made Sunday night to
assassinate Jacques Doriot, the
party's collaborationist leader,
during a speech in a theatre at
Rennes, Brittany. A woman on
the stage was said to have tossed
the bomb into the orchestra pit
where it exploded harmlessly.

Land Transfer
Nearly Done
Salem One of Foremost
Cities ; Arizona
Leads States
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20-P)
More than two-thirds of the
Japanese-operated farm lands of
Arizona, California, Oregon and
Washington have been transferred
to other operators.
The wartime civilian control ad
ministration which has expedited
the enlistment of emergency
operators to replace evacuees, con
sidered the job "over the hump"
Monday.
. Finding new operators f er the
remaining 3 per cent of the
Japaaese -controlled acreage was
proceeding rapidly with 5tf
farm applications aa hand, up to
April 17.
The WCCA bad shouldered a
job of finding new operators for
6603 farms of some 230,000 acres.
By the end of last week they had
4173 farms of 157,755 acres taken
under new management They
had loaned the new operators
about S1.000.QOO.
- Transfer 'went most rapidly, in
Arizona, where 96.6 per cent of the
acreage was in new bands. In
Oregon, transfer was 80.7 per cent
complete, in California 69 per cent
in Washington 58.8 per cent .
In Washington, a like prog
ress had bea made around Yak
ima and Bremerton. Ia Oregon,
transfers were 95 per cent com
plete at Astoria and Salem.
One "freezing" action was tak
en under the administration's war
powers. A ' northern California
landlord had refused to cooper
ate in the Japanese tenant's plan
for disposal of his equity. The
WCCA took charge, and will eith
er operate it temporarily, lease it
for the landlord or sanction a new
plan to get the land into produc
tion. Robert Lee Dies
