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.

Nazis Accuse
Czech Foes
BERLIN. May 21. 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

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.

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.
The committee rejected propos
als to increase or lower the amount
of ' local contributions.

build up the big state total which
nominated Charles Sprague to

conceded to Hess interest turned
to the local races where the vet

Truman Chase, Earl Hill and

by Henry L. Hess, 26 years his

which made timbered Oregon a

The 74-year-old democratic

a major general to carve a second
and even more spectacular life as
a politician, went down to defeat

Schooling, Childs Win
In Linn-Lane Test
WASHINGTON, May 21.
John L. 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. Law
renson polled better than a 600 ad
vantage in his own county, but
Schooling's home strength over
came this margin by a lurge totnl,

In the republican nice for the
same nomination Charles Childs,
Linn county, polled 5,782 votes to
defeat his only opponent, Mrs.

by a margin of 1460 votes.
In the democratic contest
Schooling polled 3008 votes In
Lane county as compared to Law
renson's 1022. In Linn county
Schooling's total was 1053 as com
