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 Views Not
Seen By Republicans
NEW YORK M Wendell L.
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."

High-Alumina Iron
Ore Discovered
SALEM, Ore. (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

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

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
