Page Two. THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Morse Describes Bridges' Conduct (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) merely seated on the same plat form with Bridges. '. Morse at one point engaged in a restrained legal-worded ex- change with Government Attorney i Albert Del Guercio. Morse said Bridges had appeared before him ! in more than 40 longshore arbi- tretion meetings. ' "Did you ever say this: 'My im . prfssion of him (Bridges) is that ' he is more sincere in his support J of democratic processes than many i of his critics who seek to deport him'?" Del Guercio asked Morse. ! "I believe I said that in an artl 1 cle I once wrote," said Morse. J "By critics, did you mean the i attorney general?" "I had in mind anybody who ! disagreed with me in my opin t ion of Bridges' attitude Of the J democratic processes," replied i Morse. "Who is- trying to deport hjm?" J asked Del Guercio. "I thought this hearing was an 1 effort to find out the facts," said i Morse. "There is a government agency !. (department of justice) seeking to i deport him, is there not?" asked Del Guercio. "I am of the opinion, if as a result of this hearing, your J agency is convinced he is not deportable, you would not want to deport him," replied Morse. "It J would be a surprise to me if there i were any prejudgments on this. ' It is basic in uur government to wait to see what the record I shOW6." ; Portland Considered !

Plans Complete For Buddy Poppy Sale Here Saturday "We should all wear Buddy Poppies on Memorial Day." With these words, President Franklin D. Roosevelt concludes his written endorsement of the annual national Buddy Poppy sale conducted under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. In Eugene the sale of Buddy Poppies will be conducted May 24 under the auspices of Willamette Post NO. 293, VFW. According to Post Commander Tannehill, the committee in charge is making plans for a record-breaking sale of the little red flowers that have, been adopted as America's sym bol of remembrance. The letter from the White House reads: "Every orphan deserves a chance for happiness equal to that enjoyed by the average American child. This opportunity is given the orphans of veterans by the V.F.W. National Home at Eaton Rapids, Michigan, main tained by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. "Proceeds from the annual sal of Buddy Poppies make possible the maintenance of this orphan age. Buddy Poppies also offer a source of employment and relief for needy and disabled veterans in their home communities. For these two very real reasons, we all should wear Buddy Poppies on Memorial day." Former Lane Boy Drowns In South Lawrence Beaver, in the Trinity river near Dei Loma, Cal.

Glider, Xhufe Troops Pour On Isle Of Crete (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) About two-thirds of the cattle, calves and hogs received at the 63 major livestock markets in 1940 were driven in by truck. It was not disclosed whether the attempts were successful. Amid the dramatic struggle for Crete, the Germans notified Unit ed States authorities in Vichy that 140 American survivors of the Egyptian steamer Zamzam, sunk by a nazi sea raider, have been landed safely in St. Jean de Luz, France. The group included 62 men, S3 women and 25 children. Dispatches from Berlin said a German spokesman predicted the Americans would be released as soon as possible so they could re turn home via neutral ports. An official announcement said all 322 passengers and crew aboard the Zamzam had been saved. In the Middle East war theater, British and American citizens were reported streaming, out of French-ruled Syria. Reports from Jerusalem said more nazi planes had arrived at the Syrian airports of Damascus and Palmyra and that British and "free French" warplanes again attacked both fields. In neighboring Iraq, a Baghdad communique declared that heavy losses were inflicted on the British air base at Habbaniyah, 60 miles west of Baghdad. "The bat tle is continuing," the communique said. By contrast, the British reported yesterday that they had marched eastward from Habbaniyah, crossed the Euphrates river and captured the village of Fallujah, 40 miles from Baghdad. On the Ethiopian front, the British reported that the surrender of Italy's viceroy, the Duke of Aosta, made a total of 18,000 to 19,000 fresh prisoners captured during and after the 40-day battle of Amba Alaji British troops were, reported closing in on the remnants of two Italian divisions in the lakes re. gion south of Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital.. On the North African front, the British said there was "no change in the 6-weeks-old siege of the British garrison at Tobruk, Libya, while in the Salum sector, On the Egyptian-Libyan frontier, British mechanized patrols were' said to have "vigorously harassed" the stalled German and Italian col umns attempting to drive into Egypt toward the Suez Canal. In the air war of the west, bad weather forced a continuance of the lull in night attacks by both sides. Only sporadic bomb ings were reported. I In Washington it was reported authoritatively that the United States ' virtually has called upon Vichy for a forthright declaration of France s intentions by collabo rating with Germany. It was said the French government has been given to understand there could be no restoration of French-American relations to harmony until Vichy sent formal assurances that France would hold firmly to the terms Of her armistice in dealing with the Reich. BUYS OREGON RANCH MEDFORD, May 21 W) The mother of Movie Actress Ginger Rogers bought an 850-acre ranch on the Rogue river, 17 miles north of here yesterday, and said she would stock it. with cattle.

This has put an extra burden on both the Lincoln and Condon schools while figures show en rollment dropping especially at Washington and to some extent at Frances Willard and Whlteaker schools. Enrollment figures for the past three years and for April, 1941 show this trend: - April 1938 1939 1940 1941 Condon ISO 176 193 223 Lincoln 350 354 392 409 Washington . 148 140 121 115 F.

EAST GOING In reply to questions the boys declared that the trip was not proving hard for "we're taking it easy," going only about 200 miles tier dav. Usual driving speeds are reversed by the army for on the open highway the caravans travel at about 35 miles per hour, but on reaching the cities and a police escort they speed up to 50 miles. NEW RIFLE A group of city firemen were particularly interested in inspect ine the new Garand rifle now be. ing used by the army. One of the soldiers explained some of the features of this semi-auto matic weapon. The gun holds eight rounds and has proven out standing in accuracy. Much of the recoil or "kick" has been eliminated. PLANE COMES ALONG An army plane, easily dis ilnmilshcd because of the star and white stripes on the tail, circled over the city as one smau en vision of the caravan passed through early Wednesday morn ing. TARS GET IN WAY Different tactics were followed v.. iha aiiviv and the nolice in making the transit through Eu gene Wednesday. Instead of pass ing through a dozen or so at a time a group of from 25 to 100 trucks gather at the city limits and then roar through together. Difficulty was again caused by private cars attempting io crow the line of army trucks or to pull ahead, according to city police. Last of the 500 trucks passed through the city at 11. ao a. m. thus proving the efficiency of the new method. Handling local traf fic was much easier in this way the police declared.
