Volunteer . (iri volunteer for the Lish-Araerican war, General Wrig-O-Master Stop Odor Transfer IGWART'S Niles also bears the distinction of being the youngest United States adjutant general ever appointed, Theodore Roosevelt appointing him to that rank in 1906 for the Oklahoma territory when he was 24 years of age. It was Adjutant General Niles, who, as representa tive of the President turned over the territorial government to the state government when Oklahoma entered the union. 'With subsequent service In the Mexican wars and a background as Inspector geeral for the U. S. army in France during the first world war, General Niles who re ceived his brigadier-generalship in 1923, might be expected to have much to say upon current military affairs, but the fact is just the re verse. The general would offer no opinion upon possible trends of military events. "There are too many people doing that," he said. He thinks that people should heed what Gen eral Eisenhower and General Marshall have to say about the war because they are the two with the necessary information to make predictions. "Nobody else knows," General Niles asserted." Tough Fight Ahead However, the general did con cede that there is a tough fight ahead and the allies are just get ting into the fight. Anti he added ! emphatically, "We're not going to clean up on Japan 30 days after the German situation is settled!" The general considers that the : newspapers have been very con- servative in their war coverage both from the editorial and newt angle. He doe not think that they can be accused of being over optimistic. General Nil ui. tirement, volunteered for service m me present war but the gov ernment decided he had been in enough wars. Tried Again "It wasn't that I approve of bloody wars," General Niles said, "but an old soldier likes to get back to duty." Refused active military .sen ice, he purchased a stock and wheat ranch in north, eastern Oklahoma and began to contribute to the war effort in that manner. The general is especially proud of the fact that one of iiis last com mands, the 45th division, distin guished itself in Sicily. The visiting general has con siderable space in "Who's Who of America." Aside from his mili tary achievements, he is listed as treasurer of the school land funds of the Oklahoma Territory from 1903 to 1905. He also has had an extensive career as a banker and oil producer both in Oklahoma and Texas, the record shows. While in Oregon, General Niles visited his brother, Chief of Po lice Harry Niles, of Portland. Gen eral Niles' home is in Texas.

Willkie sent a draft of a proposed platform to the recent republican national convention but his views which differ from those In the adopted platform were not sub mitted to the delegates. The 19.40 republican presiden tial nominee, who recently made public the text of the document, said his representatives in Chi cago were unable to offer his pro posals due to the speed with which the convention disposed of the platform. Willkle's suggestions differed from the convention platform on foreign policy, states' rights, tar iffs, taxes, labor, the racial prob lem and other ranks. On foreign policy, the New Yorker urged: "Immediate creation of a coun cil of the United Nations as a first step toward the formation of a general International organization in order that all the peoples of the united nations should have a voice in the decisions which will shape the world In which they live." He also advocated "use of Am erican sovereignty In cooperation with other powers to create con tinuing international organization for the good of all with the pow er to uphold its decisions by force if necessary." The party plank promises "res ponsible participation by the United States in postwar coopera tive organization among sovereign nations to prevent military ag gression and to attain permanent peace with organized justice in a free world." As to states' rights, tbe Willkie draft said "factitious questions of 'states rights' " should not be per mitted to obstruct "the federal government in the performance of its necessary functions in the best interests of the nation." The convention platform avow ed Its intention to adopt measures to "avoid federalization of gov ernment activities to the end that our states, schools and cities shall be free." 3 .C FFC Milbert C.

(U.P Consider able deposits of high -alumina iron ore, or high-iron bauxite have been discovered In a large area In northern Washington county, by the 6tate department of geology and mineral industries, Gov. Earl Snell announced. Surface mining methods are in dicated in the deposits, the Gov ernor said, and while accurate estimates of available tonnage can not be made at this time, the de posits are scpaate, flat lying ones, five to 15 feet thick, usually with some feet of SUty soil overlying them. Assaying by the department in dicates averages of 20 to 25 per cent Iron, 25 to 35 per cent alum ina, six to 12 per cent silica and fifteen hundredths per cent phos phorous in the deposits. Near transportation and post war labor supply and markets, the deposits are unique In this country, and no commercial opera ions for this type of ore are under way here. Similar material In Nor way hBs been successfully reduced In electric furnaces, the Governor said.
