TBI REGISTER-GUARD. EUGENE. OREGON. Pag Two. Witnesses Denied Use of Auditorium SEATTLE, March 20. W Several thousand of Jehovah's Witnesses, a sect, today were de nied use ot the civic auditorium for mass meeting to "help win the war on the home front," and bear N. H. Knorr, New York city, president of the Watch Tower so ciety. The lease was cancelled after City Councilman James Scavotto pointed out that a 1938 ordinance forbids use of the auditorium "for any purpose which will tend to engender religious or racial antag onism." Police were dispatched to the auditorium today to oust 250 mem bers of the sect, but later Police Chief Herbert Kimsey conferred with Mayor John F. Devin and decided to permit the organization to hold rallies in the auditorium this afternoon and tonight, "be cause they had rented the build ing In good faith." He assigned several policemen to the building to insure good or der. Announced as the first Pa cific northwestern visit of their eastern leader, the scheduled meeting tomorrow had drawn thousands from all over the re gion, and between today's meet ings men, women and children dstiributed literature in the bus iness district or walked the streets with signs announcing Knorr's talk.

"That's an accelerated stall," he explained. "There used to be a lot of rumors that P-38s were death traps when caught in a stall like .hat" Mattern moved a control. The uropellor on the right engine slow ly stopped, but the plane still flew (aster than a Japanese Zero.-' "They used to say these Llght ilngs couldn't fly on one engine," Mattern shouted. "But watch." He banked the lane vertically, first to the left, then to the right against the dead motor. The bank threw me from one side to the other as Mattern yelled something about false rumors of certain death for pilots who banked against an idle engine. I ventured a smile and found that my jaw seemed to swing down into space and para lyze my speech. "We won't try anything more fancy," Mattern said as the plane leveled out. But suddenly he went into a short power dive that near ly shot me through the floor ot the cockpit. "That's only about 6-G's," Mat tern smiled as he explained that a 9-gravity pullout from a dive makes a plane occupant weigh nine times his normal weight and ! usually lose consciousness when the blood Is forced from his head. With one engine dead Mattern i duplicated the maneuvers he had put the plane through with both engines roaring. Then he carefully set the craft back on the airport runway, with only one engine op erating. "Think nothing of it," Mattern ssured me as I caught my breath. "We'll all be flying planes like these after the war Is over. It's that extra engine that's important. TUNS IN CLIFTON .

The owner would be notified by mail, and a notice would be published once in the Register-Guard. Both notices would ask the owner to call im mediately for his dog, pay cost of impounding, buy a license if the dog had none, and "give the chief of police reasonable assurances that the dog will not again run at large." The dog would then be re leased. The ordinance would also auth orize the chief to sell the dog, if not claimed, five days after pub lication of notice. Dogs not called for in 10 days would be "killed in a humane manner under direction of the humane society." Any dog owner believing himself "aggreiv- ed by the seizure and impound ing" ot his dog would be permit ted to appeal his Case at a sum mary hearing before the chief and the recorder. Violators could be and, upon default ot payment, lm fined a maximum of $25 and costs prisoned one day for each $2 ot such fine unpaid. The ordinance points out that the U. S. is at war and that the ad ministration has declared that maintenance ot victory gardens is essential to "national preserva tion," and that "no whole hearted compliance with the administra tion's policy can be had if dogs are permitted to run at large and de tsroy gardens." If passed, the or dinance would state that "the council declares it to be necessary tor the peace, health, and safety ot the city of Eugene that this ordin ance take effect immediately upon its passage. . . ." . Claypool said that he had In tended to present plans for an or dinance that was "virtually the same" to the council Monday night, and that a delegation from the humane society will appear to apply for continuation of allot ment of funds from license fees to pay an "agent for control of dogs" or dogcatcher. "My personal opinion," he said, "is that unless the dog situation is brought under control, and unless we consider other people's rights in regard to flowers and vegeta bles, they will resort to drastic means to protect themselves and their property." Mayor Large expressed the rope that those with suggestions for the solution to the problem, including dissenters, would appear at the meeting so that whatever action the council takes will be "just for all concerned." Woman Tries Mailman Job; Load Too Heavy PLAINFIELD, N.J., March 20 (U.R)Mrs. Florence W. Jacobs, wainting to do her bit to relieve the manpower shortage, got a job as a letter carrier. She start ed work last Thursday, quit to day. "I don't mind the walking," she said, "but the load is too heavy." The Islands of the Bismarck archipelago in the South Pacific were called the New Britain group before 1884. Inventor Dies Testing 'Chute SEATTLE, March 20, The 13th naval district staff head quarters announced tonight that a civilian employe of the Sand Point naval air station here was killed when neither of two para chutes he was wearing opened in a scheduled 10,000 foot drop near Arlington, north ot here.

Although Miss Maynor was vir tually unknown until two years ago when she was discovered by the famous conductor. Serge Kous sevitzky of the Boston Symphony orchestra, she had already won ac claim for mature and fully equip ped artistry and a breathtaking purity ot tone and line. Of her, Olin Downes, leading critic of the New York Times, wrote: "She should be able to reach almost any height as one ot the leading concert singers of her generation." Miss Maynor is credited with having a remarkable range, going from brilliant high notes to the dark ones characteristic of her race. Of special interest is the ef fortless manner in which she pro duces the most difficult passages. Aircraft Industry Reorganization Seen NEW YORK, March 2Q.4M Evidence piled up this week that the aircraft industry is reorganiz ing itself for a supreme effort to attain the 10,000 planes month output mark before the close of 1943 Such a rate would be almost double current estimated produc tion and would translate Into real ity the peak 120,000 annual plane total requested by President Roos evelt shortly after Pearl Harbor. A big step toward speeding pro duction came when Henry J. Kais er, shipbuilder, took over manage ment of the Brewster aeronautical corporation on a non-salary basis. Kaiser was elected chairman of the corporation, which, according to the U. S. navy has been laggard in IV delivery of fighting craft The navy department made it plain that Kaiser's appointment had its blessing. Brewster was the second plan company to come under Kaiser's management in recent weeks. Ear lier this month he took over Fleet wings Inc., a producer of planes for the U. S. army Another move to speed output came in the merger of Consolidated aircraft maker of the famed Lib erator and Vultee aircraft which produces craft for the navy. The companies had been affiliated and were under the management ot Tom Girdler, who had been call ed from his post as head of Repub lic steel to help increase plane pro duction. At the same time it was .learned that makers of both planes and aircraft parts are planning to get together in regional councils in the belief that move will help the industry hurdle many ot the prob lems still existent Red Cross (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Thursday night by Jane Thacher raised $88.75.

Understanding Said Reached on French WASHINGTON. MarM, -n j(U.R)A complete understanding on Anglo-American policy to ward the French situation has been one of the concrete results of British Foreign Secretary An thony Eden's visit here, it was learned tonight. Both governments are empha sizing the desirability of greater unity in the French fight against the Axis and are endorsing the military leadership of Gen. Henri Honore Giraud as the rallying point for that unity. Gen. Charles De Gaulle, lead er of the Fighting French group, will be welcomed as a partici pant in French cooperation but will not be supported in any rival movement to assume leader ship ot the French cause as a whole..

Newspapers Make Changes To Help Save On Newsprint By JAMES MARLOW and GEORGE ZIELKE WASHINGTON, March 20 UP) Maybe you haven't noticed it but American newspapers par ticularly the large ones are changing, a little here, a little there, in order to save good white paper. It's a face-lifting and squeez ing process to give the readers the same amount ot news and enter tainment they always have re ceived but to do it in less space. The same changes are not be ing made everywhere, but here are some examples of what is hap pening. Reducing the width of the paper and! the number ot headlines and column "heads," keeping margins narrower, editing the news close ly to cut out unneeded wordage. using only four columns to print comic strips Instead of the peace time five, cutting various features. Recently commenting on this space-saving job, Fleming New bold, business manager of the Washington Star, said: "We're giv ing fewer words- but not less news." The reason for all this: Because of a shortage, the war production board last January 1 ordered all newspapers using more than 25. tons of print paper in a three-month period to reduce their consumption 10 per cent. There are 1,787 daily newspap ers in the country. Between 900 and 1,000 of them, using less than the specified tonnage, are not af fected by the order. But the large ones are, since about 430 news papers us approximately 80 per cent of all the paper in their field. Nevertheless, many of the unaf fected small ones are cooperating. Reasons for the shortage, WPB men say, include: Reduction in the number of men willing to cut pulpwood in mid winter when better-paying jobs are available in shipyards and factories; the many usjes of wood pulp, sulphite and sulphate and the various forms of wood fiber by the armed forces. Another space saving method some publishers started using it back in depression days is to re duce the amount ot statistical fi- Portland-Built Cmi Tracker, built nader lend-le struction here sev.ri 4 others of Its tyne . k.- "i outfromtheXI The ship ls already seas with the Briti nouncement said, command of G.

This also eliminated a lot of un sold copies which piled up on newstands in pre-war days when editions tumbled after one anoth er off the nation's presses. Newspapers helped work out the 10 per cent print paper reduction through a publishers' advisory council which sat down with three top-flight newspaper executives now working for the WPB. . These three W. G. Chandler, general business manager of the Scripps-Howard papers and direc tor of WPB's printing and pub lishing division; Harold Bittner, publisher of the Pittsburgh Sun Telegraph and Chandler's assistant consultant, and Matt Sullivan, cir culation manager of the Gannett publications and chief of the division's-newspaper section have this to say: Large and small, the newspapers have pitched in to help in the pa per conservation program. At the same time, of course, they are helping themselves. No further print paper cut Is ex pected before July 1 and may not even have to occur then, Sullivan says, if publishers continue their present efforts and if supply is forthcoming from Canada.
