H Tell One PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, May 21. UJ.P.V Czechoslovakia called a year's class of combined reserves and special reserves, as well as certain specially trained units to the colors today for "special exercises. The call came on the eve of the critical municipal elections and after the fatal shooting of two farmers of the Sudeten German minority by border guards when they ignored commands to halt while crossing into Germany on a motorcycle. The incident, which occurred at the border town of Eger, caused a furor in Germany, where troop movements have been reported along the border. Show 'Em New Guns Calling out the reserves was at tributed oficially to the necessity of training the reserves in the use of new weapons. One year's normal reserves com prises 70,000 men. The special re serves are the older men, past 40, who have had briefer training than that now prescribed for regular army service. The Sudeten German party promptly denounced the call to the colors as "mobilization" and charged that It was done by the military without consent of the state.

U.R News papers joined today in a chorus of angry denunciation of conditions in Czechoslovakia and, in effect, demanded that the Czechoslovak government take immediate action to end alleged "aggression" against the German minority. Newspaper policy is controlled by government agencies under the totalitarian principle and, to make the campaign the more impressive, such newspapers as the Voelkis cher Boebachter, official organ of the Nazi party, and the Essen Na tional Zeitung, personal organ of Field Marshal Hermann Goering, economic dictator, joined in it. The articles were interpreted in political quarters as indicating that certain quarters in Germany wanted to give the Czechoslovak government to understand that Germany may lose patience if al leged "incidents" continued. As regards reports of German troop movements on the Czechor slovakia frontier, it was said in well informed circles that Sir Ne ville Henderson, British ambassa dor, asked Under Secretary Baron Ernst Von Weizsaecker at the for eign office yesterday regarding them. Weizaecker was said to have re plied that the troop movements were merely the transfer of troops from winter to summer quarters. Washington Solon Pleased With Hess WASHINGTON. May 21 Senator Schwellenbach (D-Wash) asserted today that Henry L. Hess was making an "amazing showing" in the Oregon primary for tne democratic gubernatorial nomina tion. Governor Charles H. Martin, Schwellenbach said, "has the state machine and the Portland city machine." 'Against that." Schwellenbach added, "I think Hess is giving a re markable demonstration." Elan Anderson Denies "Re Rule Linfieiu Evangelist Brougher Declared Unfair In View Of Situation McMINNVILLE, May 21. OP) Dr. Elam J. Anderson, retiring president of Llnfield college, today attributed student objections to lectures by Dr. Russell M. Brough er, New York evangelist, to a dis like for emotional evangelism rather than to communistic ten dencies of undergraduates. Dr. Anderson denied Broughcr's statement that a petition demand ing that the faculty cancel the evangelist's campus speaking en gagements and that the First Bap tist church close its revival meet ings and require Brougher to leave town were signed by 14 students. Student Denies Charges Paul Starring, named by Brou gher as leader of the student ob jectors, denied that he was a com munist or that he had circulated communistic literature in a high school class he taught. Students said they refused to raise their hands to- attest their faith in God because they objected to emotional evangelism. Petitions were circulated after the incident. Brougher spoke on the campus twice without further demonstra tion. Anderson Makes' Statement Dr. Anderson, in a prepared statement, expressed regret at -the "discourtesy" to the evangelist and added: "As to the presence of students sympathetic toward communism, all information points toward the fact that undoubtedly there are some. The proportion in the stu dent body is as low, if not lower, than found in all denominational colleges of the country." Brougher indicated that the al leged communistic activity on the campus would be laid before the Northern Baptist convention at Milwaukee, Wis., May 26-31. Dr. Anderson, vice president of the or ganization, said he would welcome the chance to disprove the pres ence of wide-spread communist tendencies. A a, - - r. v 15?

Willamette Flood Control Okayed WASHINGTON, May 21. IM The senate commerce committee approved today without major change an omnibus flood control bill passed by the house. The bill would authorize con struction of projects to cost $375, 000,000 during the next five years. It would retain the principle of local participation through a con tribution of 30 per cent of the cost of lands, easements and rights of way for reservoirs.

Martin, who brought to the executive chair of Oregon a personality that wrote deeply Into the state's history. lost his sent todiiy, vanquished by Henry L. Hess, 26 years his Junior, after a politicul battle which made timbered Oregon a nation's stage. The 74-year-old democratic governor, who retired from a bril liant army career a decade ago as a major general to carve a second and even more spectacular life as a politician, went down to defeat In Oregon's primary election after aa thunderous a battle as this state has ever seen.

Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organiz ation, predicted today increasing political strength for labor. Speak ing at the second convention of the United Office and Professional Workers of America, a CIO affili ate, Lewis said: "As our union grows In strength we will grow in political strength, because growth in political strength is a natural by-product of the or- i ganization of workers to benefit their members and to benefit the still larger group of their fellow workers who are not yet mem- , bers." Lewis made no direct reference , to the Pennsylvania post-primary 1 situation, in which the White House is trying to reunite factions of the democratic party for the November election. ; Lewis had luncheon yesterday with President Roosevelt. C. A. Schooling, Lane county, won the democratic nomination for senator in the Linn-Lane legis lative district by a majority of 1,375 votes over his Linn county opponent, J. A. Lawrenson.
