London, tti confer with him ttmorrow at the White House and announced that London has accepted. White House Secretary Stephen T. Early said earlier cancelation uf the engagement was the result of a mixup due to negotiations through intermediaries. He said Roonevelt cut through the confusion this morn ing with a long distance telephone cull to Landon at Chicago. It was decided then that the 193G republican standard bearer wuuld lunch tomorrow ut the White House, us hud been planned last week. Hie announcement of the new en gtigement came a few hours after Hug. On. Edwin M. Watson, anoihrr White House secretary, hud said the luncheon had been called off. Early said, however, that lioosevelt merely had wanted to postpone the lunch eon engagement for one day rather than to cancel It entirely. The confusion followed reports that Roosevelt is considering the possibility of forming a coalition cabinet, perhaps by naming Col. Frank Knox as secretary of navy, replacing Secretary Charles Edison who Is resigning to run for governor of New Jersey. AFL Counsel Predicts Defeat of Picket Law PortluiHl. Mnv 21 HI1" Jusnih A.

NAZI COLUMN JABS LINE TO CHANNEL AREA Allied Forces Split by Thrust ENGLAND IS GOAL (crman (Jains Still to Ik Consolidated; Forces Fur lichind Ily Joe Alex Morris fthitl ftm (MM- Nw tsUt'irl fjermuny's mechanized forces diove a pruilebd through Picurdy to the EngUxh channel today in Adolf Hitler's cliinut'tic blitzkrieg agulnst the allied armies in northeastern France and lirlgium. In lightning but powerful blows that seemed lo smother allied counter attacks, tlie German armws were of ficially reported to have broken up the mam Krrnt h army in the north. captuird its staff and commander, Cieii. Henri (iiruud. and tukrn the towns of Amiriii, Arrus and Abbe ville in a drive to cut off and attack possibly 1.000.000 Hritihh, French und Belgian tttMiMi in Plunders. Peak of the blitzkrieg attack was at Abbeville, a French port at the rnd of thr Somtnr bay, where the Somme river flows into the channel 70 miles from the shores of England Abbeville itself is 12 miles from the chunnel rousl. llradllnes Scream "Channel reached!" screamed the headlines of every Berlin newspaper. "Allied armies cut off " And t)r conservative Hamburger Frem iVn Blatt furecust that lite (Itrmun armies, already attack ing tlte retiring tli itish and Belgians eat ttf Client, would soon strike a most powerful blow at the allied forces isolated in Flanders. After that, it was indicated, the German thrutt again! England- fur which the British government pre iwred with great speed will be pos sible. Meanwhile. German armies took !oti and Hrthel lo surge closer to Paris and the Gernan air force again hammered with tremendous force at tlie British and French fleets, re porting the bombing of five warships and It transports or merchant ves sels. Fronts Broken In Paris, tlie French contended that furious fighting still was in progress along bfokctt fronts in northern France and that their lines hatl given ground only at great cost to the nazLs, but Reynaud admitted tti the senate that Amiens and Arras hod leen taken. Thr full extent of the German gains and of the allied counter attacks, can Lie determined only after further operations on a vast battle- front that ts confused and tumbled as a result of the nuzi strategy of strik ing wilh meehoni;d unit far in ad vance of their main forces and far behind the enemy lines. German parachute troops were be ing used extensively in an attempt to strengthen and consolidate the lines pushed forward in lightning fashion into northern r ranee and it was re ported that the allies might speed their near eastern army to France lo bolster their defenses. Position Dangerous The German statement that the channel had been reached climaxed 11 days of warfare through the low countries and in northern France and made the allied position seem as dangerous if not more dangerous than at any time during the World war. The Germans still are not a far advanced in French territory as they were at the high mark of the World war, when they surged to the sub urbs of Paris. But thev have achiev ed the capture of a channel port. which they fulled to do throughout the World war, and they have moved with far greuter sneed. Furthermore, from Amiens, the Germans are in a position to strike southward toward Paris at any time they can consolidate their positions in the north. And if thev succeed in bringing together their vast pincers operations against the allied armies in Flanders the entire channel coast will be in their hands with Eng land only n few minutes away by airplane. Portland's Trade Off Third During War Portland. Muy 21 Ul' Portland's foreign trade has dropped one-third since the war in Europe began, it wns reve;iled today. Since January 1 Portland has ex ported goods worth $6,600,000, com pared with exports worth $9,750,000 during the first four months last year. Outstanding loss in off.shore com merce was that to the United King dom, where the decline totaled $2. 100.000. Other western European countries bought $ 1 ,000.000 less of Portland merchandise than last year. Some gains were registered from the Philippines, Japan, Russia, and Latin America. Waterfront observers were hopeful that inauguration of Moore-McCor-mack steamthip service to the east ern coast of South America, and re alization of rumors of a new service to the orient might boost Portland shipping.

It wus announced toduy by CUM La Fountame, county WPA operations superintendent. Of the 3 men released, said La- Fountatne, seven have found private employment, and it is expected that bout a dozen more will be called back, when and if a new community sanitary project now in Washington awaiting tlte approval of national headquarters of the work projects administration, is started up ui the county. Four men who were on the court house site improvement project, fin ished last week until the building is constructed, have not yet been dis posed of. said Ut Fount aine. but will be transferred to the community san itation project recently, making it necessary to submit a new applica tion to Washington. rorty men are still working on the C. O. I. project of the WPA, building canal roads. No other projects are ready at this time, stuted tlte nuper intendent. although several are being drafled and submitted to state and district offices of the WPA. John Gilbert, deputy ruadmaster. is posting notices for the reest.iblish- ment and leiialization of the United. Ogg.

Of the sum. $01, 119 has been advanced by the fed eral agency, and $22,702 will be sup plied by the county. ine local oil ice has submitted to the district office the initial draft for project of constructing sidewalks and curbs in Sisters, and for the Red mond airport improvement. Revised application was made nec essary for the latter, because of the length of time that has elapsed since the first project at the airport was approved. The old project was not finished by the WPA. A C. O. I. blanket work project which will take a year to complete, has been sent to the state office in Portland in its initial draft form. Further decision on the.se projects should be made soon, said LaFoun taine.

HOOD LINE Company's Fleet Now Up To 27 Machines Extension of operations, purchase of five new buses of the latest type and a general speeding up of sched ules that will reduce the traveling time between Bend and Portland a half hour were announced today by the management of the Mount Hood stages, headquarters of which are in Bend. The addition of the new buses, two of which are to be delivered on June 1. will bring the Mount Hood fleet up to 27 machines. The extension and improvement in service had been contemplated three years ago, but the plan was held in abeyance pending the completion of the Central Oregon highway. With that route now nearing completion, the bus line is ready to place in op eration a series of new schedules that will bring traffic through Bend not only from the east, but from the north and south, and over the Cas cades from the west. Between Bend and Portland, an ex tra schedule is to be inaugurated, with buses leaving Bend at 7:30 a. m 1 p. m. and 5:45 p. m. Returning, these runs will start from Portland at 7:30 a. m., 2:30 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. Service over the McKenzie pass will be started on May 25. The Bend departure time will be 8:15 a. m. and the arrival from Eugene will be at 7:25 p. m. This will provide laylight operations over the scenic Cascades.

Just ahead of the construction crew is a public roads administration unit of six men under the supervision of R. C. Gov. an, engi neer in charge. The present work of the engineers is that of placing grade stakes. This morning, the E. L. Gates Con struction Co., firm awarded the for est boundary -Dutchman flat section t-ewntract, -hod rcrew M frmen on the job. The sudden disappearance of the snow in the Dutchman flat area came as a "break" for contractors and engi neers. Only last week, contractors considered the possibility of suspend ing work on the route, because of snow conditions. The depth of the snow in the Dutchman flat country early in May w?s the deepest in any part of the eastern Cascades. With the snow barriers now gone, work on the job has been speeded up and two shifts are being used. Grading work has been extended about four miles beyond the starting point, at the torest boundary a short distance west of Bend. Grubbing and clearing crews are some two miles ahead of the grading operations. At the present rate of construction, the clearing and grading of the for est boundary-Dutchman flat unit will probably be completed around July 1, engineers have estimated. Public roads administration engi , neers have established their head quarters at Big springs, but all mcm- I bers of the large contracting crew t make Bend their headquarters. Most , of the men are Bend residents. Frank Gates is in charge of work for the contracting firm. j , ' j pnlef ItlCT fnr Armv GnUSlIIlg IOr Army J L lCCrcadCU Oj xJlllXZl portiand. May 21 tP Col. H.
