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."

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."

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

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

F. Willard 388 382 355
Whlteaker .. 190 182 160
This extra enrollment at Con
don and Lincoln schools has been
handled so far without the addi
tion of new facilities.
A study of population distribu
tion is now being made by a com
mute of principals and a report
will be made next week. The
school board is expected to take
action on the problem at its next
meeting.

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

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
