Reds Take Up Nazi's Allied Accusations (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) icle charged that the Swedish so cial democrats were supporting the Finnish "bankers and industrial ists" although they had refused to aid the workers and refugees from Spain. Position "Unneutral" The Red Star attack on the al lied powers said that they were maneuvering the Scandinavian states Into "an unneutral" position under the guise of aiding Finland. The ultimate purpose of Britain and France, the magazine said, is to bring Sweden and Norway Into the war bloc so that they can be used as a spring board for attack on Germany from the north. French sources were quoted by the Red Star to the effect that the Rhlneland fortifications on both sides had resulted in a "stand-still" on the western front. Therefore, these sources were credited with arguing, the allies must attempt to establish a Scan dinavian front with the help of the Finnish factions headed by Mar shal Carl Gustav von Mannerheim, chief of Finland's Brmies. In order to achieve this end, the British and French are now offer ing mutual assistance pacts to Nor way and Sweden, the Red Star as serted.

MOUNTJOY & CARMICHAEL 'home decorations' 77 East Broadway Eugene, Ore. THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON ttflfe Health Of America Said Best In History (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) erative programs x X x one ob stacle to efficient administration in the states lies In rapid turnover of personnel due to partisan poli tical considerations. During the fiscal year, one sixth of the state health officers were replaced. He suggested a merit system for filling all responsible profes sional positions. During 1938, Dr. Parran said, infant mortality dropped to 50.9 per 1,000 live births, the lowest on record. Maternal mortality was 4 per 1000 live births, the lowest recorded. The lowest death rates In his tory were established for typhoid and para-typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, infantile par alysis, spinal meningitis, tuber culosis, malaria, pellcgra, diges tive tract diseases and nephritis. Roads Dangerous Parran said that automobile accidents continue to take more lives than typhoid, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diph theria combined. Cancer and heart diseases were the only major causes of death which increased during 1038, the upward trend being attributed to a larger proportion of the popu lation living to older age. Parran said that a "curious public indifference" was respon sible for a steadily increasing number of smallpox cases. There are more smallpox cases in this country than any In the world excepting India. The national health service sur vey of 800.000 families compris ing 3.000,000 individuals indi cates that there arc 7,000,000 per sons In the United States suffer ing from rheumatism; 3,500.000 have heart ailments; 3,700,000 from arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure and 3,400,000 are victims of asthma and hay fever. Greatest unsolved problem in medicine, Dr. Parran said, are mental and nervous diseases. There are more than 617,000 of these cases in hospitals, he said.

Hore-Belisha, a national liberal, then will be on the back bench and will have the chance to tell why he quit. But there were some doubts whether he would do this. He sent a message to his con stituents today that "whatever task may fall to me I shall per form with vigor but I have no thought at the present moment but that of winning the war." Siltcoos Lake Shore Lines Are Defined The shore line of Siltcoos lake is defined by the state attorney general as 100 yards distant from the low water mark on the lake and this does not apply to the several islands in the lake, ac cording to District Attorney L. L. Ray, who has received an opinion on the question from the attorney general. The opinion was asked for by the state game commission to which the matter of hunting ducks in the lake from boats was submitted. The request was made at the instance of the Lane dis trict attorney. Several local men who hunt on the lake and others who have islands there have recently asked what the shore lines of the lake really are. The law prohibits hunting ducks in boats in the lake beyond the shore line. eenifiG soon 72 n ! !
