In all fairness may I say, that neither mayor, fire chief nor .com mittee chairman, has authority to , change the ruling of the council . as passsed in regular session. If there had been great danger of life involved in this fire, I am sure any or all of us would have made a different answer, regard . less. One rule of business we all . recognize, you can't buy a fire in surance policy after the fire has started. Your city council has tried ! every available means to get co ' operation on fire protection pro jects and has really bent over backwards, thinking of what might happen.

In regard tot the recent response to the Marcola fire; it has not been the intent of the council to offer a fire protection contract to communities so far out. Our serv ice would be of questionable value and no contract has been offered to them. As suggested by the Register Guard representative, the Nation al Fire Underwriters have been approached to send a competent engineer to make a major survey of fire hazards for the entire Eu gene area, and to make recom mendations for a correct approach to this problem, and which might serve as a pattern for other cit ies. This they are now consider ing. Insofar as the $853 politician commentator is concerned, run ning a political party is one thing but directing a city government is quite another matter. It is hoped that friendly co operative plans can be worked out with all urban fringe communi ties to prevent a recurrence of this most regrettable disaster. We earnestly seek your support and assistance to this end. I. O. STEWART. Two Men Held On Check Charges Two men, Joe W. Chandler, Oklahoma City, Okla., and Carl D. Garner, DeQueen, Ark., were being held Friday by city police on bad check charges. The two were arrested Thurs day and charged with passing one check for $7 and attempting to pass another for $10. The men were expected to be brought before a justice of the peace late Friday afternoon.

Mexico's President Manuel Avila Camacho issued an Order drastically restricting demonstra tions by the powerful Sinarquistae movement, which government spokesmen described as nazi-fas- cist. 3. Argentina told German am- basador Edmund von Thermann to reexport or destroy a short-'wave radio transmitter which was siezed in nazi diplomatic pouches an incident whlcn had aggravated re lations between Buenos Aires and Berlin. Mexico's foreign minister Eze- quiel Padilla minced no words In scorning the German proposal. The German minister. Rudt von Coilenberg, had called the black list "unjust and transcendental" and a violation of Mexican sov ereignty, in a note to the Mexican government. He said It was Mexi co's "duty" to protect affected firms. Mexico replied- she alone "is competent, in absolute fashion, to note on what occasions the liberty of commerce and the sovereignty oi Mexico are injured, : . ' Germans Await News'-' In Europe, Germany awaited news of advances in the Leningrad area while Russians were cheered by reports of defense successes in the Smolensk sector where the main German drive on Moscow was halted. Unofficial German reports Indi cated that the Red army took the initiative on the 17th day of the battle of Smolensk to push back the Invaders at some points, cap turing prisoners and war material. Harry L. Hopkins U. S. lease lend administrator, had a three- hour private talk with Premier Joseph Stalin yesterday, his sec ond since his unexpected arrival in Moscow by plane. Saying that his conviction that Hitler would lose the war was strengthened, he sa d after the in terview that "my short visit here has given me even more confi' dence." He was believed to have told the Russian leader that American production of war materials would surpass any foreign estimates.

Construction and Improvements projects under the supervision of the CAA are limited to airports owned by local governmental au thorities. Work is restricted to the development of landing fa cilities. All other improvements, including hangars and other build ings, must be done by local en terprises or local government. "No recommendations for Im provements or construction were made until a thorough survey by airport engineers estimated the value of the locations to national defense," Connolly said. "How' ever, while the airports have been selected to meet defense require ments, every extort has been made to select sites offering fu ture value to commercial and Civil i aviation, thus innurlnff n permanent return ' from this de fense investment." The work will be directed by Liuetenant Colonel Lucius D Clay, assistant to Connolly, who "Afow YOU CAN BUY USED CARS BLINDFOLDED?' -Sayl j W siLVA Guesswork has been thrown out and used car reconditioning has been put on a scien tific basis at pur place.

'Whak Too-ee' Pirates At It MARSHFIELD, Ore., Aug. 1. (U.R) Made of "pre-masticated1 Coos Bay pulp, world's champion spitting certificates rolled from the presses today, a few hours before expectorators from far and near engage in the first annual inter national and inter-collegiate spit ting derby at noon Saturday Aug. 2. "Remember not to smoke but to spit when the forests are dry," the legend on the certificate read: "We must keep Oregon brown." Bearing a picture of a Coos Bay Pirate because the Pirates are sponsoring the two-day regatta and fun festival, the certificates, 200 in number, will be awarded divisional champions. One will go to the man who wins the penta thlon or all-events title which will also win him a Myrtlewood spit toon, a bid to the next Olympics games and the rights to go barn storming. Grass has been mowed on the greensward behind the Marshfield postoffice, the referee and two judgs were already on the scene, and Chief Skull C. P. MacNabb said weather probably would be ideal for both plain and fancy spit ting. He said humidity was going down, few air pockets were found today and drift conditions were "quite satisfactory." In Brazil, government-sponsored aviation clubs have been set up in every state to stimulate air-mindedness. Oregon Officials, Press Give Views On Glenwood Fire (CONTINUED. FROM PAGE 1) had been forewarned of the1 chance it was taking. . . "The reason why the West Springfield community and scores of others similarly located throughout the state neglected to protect themselves was that they thought in an emergency their city neighbors would weaken and come to their aid .as they always had done in the past. . . . Procras tination and neglect finally caught up with them and they were caught in a trap of their own de vising." ..' Portland Law Similar The city of Portland has a law similar to that of Eugene prohibit ing the use of fire equipment in' rural areas not part of a regular district, according to a statement received from Acting Mayor William Bowes. Bowes recalled, however, only one instance about a year and a half ago where the Portland fire department refused to . answer a call. Both the Portland mayor and fire chief have .authority to order the fire deportment to go outside of the city limits. Each uses his own discretion and is not bound by any fixed rules. The consensus of Portland city hall opinion on the case, according to united Press, is that comnunv ities themselves should make agreements beforehand. Officials also stressed the point that depart. ment insurance doesn't cover in juries suffered by firemen outside of the city. Portland now has contracts with about half a dozen communities as well as a few individuals such as hospitals, Oregon shipbuilding company, and even private homes. They either pay regular service charge of about $150 for first call and $100 for calls thereafter or pay regularly monthly assessment of two mills.- Klamath Forming Policy Reports from Klamath Falls in. dicate that the city is now formu lating a definite policy to cover such situations. Not yet written into an ordinance, it would pro. vide that the department will go outside tor a major industrial fire. but the plant must provide crew and equipment, with the exception oi a pumper and operator. The department probably would also go out for a general conflag. ration threatening Klamath Falls itself. However, Chief Keith Am. brose is now taking up with fire underwriters any question as to the eiiect oi equipment being ab sent from the. city. Corvallis also has adopted a s!m LUar .ruling, , the Associated Press reported. At present a rural fire protection district is in the process of formation there.
