Congresswoman Clare B o o t h e
Luce or former President Hoover.
Both are scheduled to address
the party's convention in a radio

Republican National Chairman

"At the same time?" Spangler
was asked.
''Yes," said the chairman. "They
will both be on at the same time."
"That should be interesting,"
one of those present at the news
conference observed.
Another, ignoring the by-play,
inquired seriously, "Who will
speak first?"
Spangler said it hasn't been
decided.
"Any contention?" he was asked.
"Oh. no," he replied, "the ar

Enemy Plane Carrier
Blasted At Genoa
ROME, June 21. (U.R) British
8th army troops have cleared the
Germans from Perugia and ad
vanced three to four miles beyond
the town, a communique said to
day, while French and American
units of the allied fifth army on
the British left flank pushed slow
ly northward against bitter enemy
opposition.
Driving rains' slowed the allied
ltrmles:all along the central battle-
front and desperate nazi rear
guards were putting up a fierce
delaying fight everywhere, but
there was no indication that the
main German forces had been sent
into action.
Twenty-three miles to tho west
of Perugia other 8th army forces
captured Chiusi and swept on
northeast of Lake Chuisi to High
way 73.
There was nomajor change in
the 5th army front to the west, but
headquarters spokesmen said
French and American troops were
running into savage resistance in
the Radiofani sector and north of
Grosseto.
The Americans on the Tyrrhe
nian coastal flank captured Monte
Pescali; a hill feature 10 miles
north of Grosseto dominating the
intersection of Highways 1 and 73,
where stubborn enemy rear guards
had beoa holding out for days.
On Hie American right, French
colonial troops occupied a number
of villages northwest of Radiofani
yesterday.
On the Adriatic coastal front,
British 8th army forces continued
their almost unopposed advance
northward, driving four miles up
the coastal road to the Menocchio
river. .

ROME, June 21. (U.R) Ameri
can Thunderbolt fighter-bombers
attacked and seriously damaged an
enemy aircraft carrier in Genoa
harbor, believed to be the 20,000
ton Italian carrier Regola which
was seized by the Germans last
September, it was announced today.
Minister Churchill were under
stood to have conferred already
by telephone.
Lyttleton's assertions left Hull
and other state department offi
cials indignant. Congressmen were
just plain mad. And British, offi
cials, ordinarily the tactful, suave
diplomats, were humiliated.
The blast by the 72-year-old
secretary of state could have had
no other effect than to make a
chastened man of Lyttleton, who
boasted in his address yesterday
that "frankness bordering on in
discretion is the right way to
treat our American allies." He
then went on to say that Japan
"was provoked into attacking the
Americans at Pearl Harbor."
Even after Lyttleton had issued
a memo explaining that his re
marks should not be construed as
implying that "Japan was forced
to make war on America," Hull
took the unusual step of issuing a
formal statement to comment on a
speech.
Lyttleton's statement, Hull said,
was "entirely In error as to trie
facts and failed to state the true
attitude of the United States. . . .
(which was) actuated by the sin
gle policy of self-defense."
"Japan for years had notorious
ly pursued a program of widest
conquest . . . and finally, in 1941,
she launched the unprovoked at
tack on the United States at Pearl
Harbor," he said.

Labor unions, the church,' the

four bulwarks of democracy and
when democracy falls the labor
union is the first of the four bul
warks to fall, Wayne L. Morse,
former member of the war labor
board and Oregon republican nom
inee for the U. S. senate, Tuesday
. 'ternoon told delegates of the
42nd annual convention of the
Oregon State Federation of labor,
meeting in Eugene through Fri
day, In a stirring speech in which he
defended the granting to labor
during the war of maintenance of
membership, Morse said flatly that
if the American economic system
were left to the whims of the em-
and i ploycrs the nation would have a
system of "benevolent paternalism
with most of the benevolence out
of the picture." He assured the
labor delegates that he vbi cor.
fident that the American profit
system was beneficial to both labor
and capital and that the post-war
goal should be a return to collec
tive bargaining with government
out of labor affairs. Without or
ganized labor America could not
maintain her high standard of liv

Ash Speaker
Wesley A. Ash, western man
ager of the wage and hour division
of the department of labor, in an
address opening the Wednesday
morning conclave, suggested that
local union bodies get together
periodically with the local organ
izations of the wage and hour di
visions In informal sessions and
translate the legalistic language of
orders and directives into "base

relations of his division with the
unions in Oregon were based upon
a human and realistic day-by-day
understanding.

Lane Told to Wake
Up and Buy Bonds
"Snap out of it Lane county!"
That should have been the title
for the talk given Wednesday for
the Lions club by E. C. Sammons,
Portland, state war bonds chair
man. "Your goal is $5,000,000. That is
less than you raised for the fourth
and third bond drives. You in
Lane county, as those in all Ore
gon, must go to wort- There are
no ifs and ands about it. Ring
doorbells, pound the pavement,
shame people into it but buy
bonds and sell bonds," Sammons
said, adding, "As a representative
of the United States treasury, I
charge you to do your very best in
putting over this fifth war bond
drive."
"It is not up to your war fin
ance chairman, or your bond drive
chairman, it is up to YOU ' and
YOU. It's YOUR Job, every one of
you, tp sell and buy series E
bonds," Sammons continued.
The state chairman expressed
appreciation for achievements in
the past and for the work being
done by bond drive leaders now,
but he pointed out
its crisis now" pointing to history-making
events going on in
Europe and the Pacific war zones.
There are no second guesses, no
second prizes in war. You either
lose all or win all. "We have got
lo win or become prisoners of the
nazis And the unspeakable Japan
ese. The success for what is go
ing on in the war depends on the
home front" Siimmo.is said com
menting further that financing Is
one of three major jobs for the
home front, one of the important
factors along with production and
morale.
He warned against complacency
and "over optimism."
Detloff Speaks
H. J. Detloff, vice-chairman of
the state war finance committee
and state chairman for war bonds
sales in the Oregon State Fed
eration of labor, was also a speak
er on the program, urging coop
eration between management and
labor to see that this all-important
job on the home front Is done
and done in big style. "It is pat
riotic to buy bonds of course, but
it fii more than that It is good
investing," Detloff told the
crowd. Whether or not employ
ers or employes like each other
docs not count in this business of
selling bonds. They must work
together in this important activity
and sell honds and mora bonds,
Detloff said.
Miss Betty Chldlaw, Rochester,
