m-fense Program Reviewed
Governor Sprague reviewed for
the vc lc run Oregon's military de
fense program, and emphasized
the lmM)it.inee of such a program
because this slate faces the Pa
cific. "I believe that too much our
eye are focused on Kurope," the
governor (ki'lared, touching on
some of the development Just
across the western ocean and re
minding the capacity audience
that point In Japan and China
are closer to the Oivgon roust
than am some of the countries of
South Aaicrlca.
Civilian defense I vital under
modern warfare, the executive
said, outlining the civilian protec
tion program on It applies to Ore
gon. "I have authority to create a
state guard, hut that nuthorlty
will not Is? exercised unless neces
sity nrlses," Governor Sprague de
clared. His statement wa greeted
hy applause. If such a guard is or
ganized, it will Is- a mule defense
organization, of one or two regi
ments, the governor said.
Reserve Being Organized
Governor Sprague said that
there is now being organized In
Oregon civilian reserve. This
work Is being supervised hy the
newly created county council of
defense. In the near future, the
official reported, there will be an
enrollment of aircraft observers,
as part of the civilian defense
scheme. This will he first under
taken In western Oregon.
"We must tie prepared," Gover
nor Sprague said, agnln remind
ing hi audience that Oregon Is n
coastal state, fronting on the
broad Pacific, lie warned that
people must be ready not only to
bear Increased tax burdens and to
sacrifice certain conveniences, but
must also tie preinred for "sterner
shocks."
The solemnity of the governor'
address was once broke.n when he
said: "You lire too old to fight."
Immediately there was a murmur
of protest from the veterans, most
of them men who served In 1917
1918. The governor, when the pro
tests died away, reminded the vet
eran that selective service offi
cials have set 35 yenrs ns the pre
nt, upper age for effective military
service, and that this age Is be
ing further reduced. Governor
Sprague also Included himself In
the "old" group, nnd the protests
of the veterans gave nwny to a
round of laughs.

War Chiefs Want
Guard to Stay
Stato Units May Be
Kept in Service for
An Additional Year
Washington, June 21 'in The
war department announced today
It ha recommended to the presi
dent that steps be taken to obtain
nuthorlty to continue the national
guard and reserve officers on ac
tive duty for more than one year.
The war department explained
that legislation by congress will be
necessary to retain the national
guard In active service beyond the
x-rlod of nno year for which Its
units were Inducted.
"The final decision I a matter
of the public policy which must
rest with the pn-sidenl nnd con
gress," the war department said.

the announcement because It has
been "flooded with queries" from
the field ns to whether or not the
national guard would be allowed
to return home after 12 months
of service.

ed because whatever the decision,
there are many adjustments which
the citizen soldier must make In
his affairs," the statement said.

2S0.R00 national guardsmen, in
cluding 21.800 officers, on active
duty In the federal army. Heserve
officers on active duty total 51,500.

(Delayed) Authoritative inform

pact was being negotiated and
that a German trade delegation
was expected here soon.
Informants said that the nego

Axis officials at Bucharest have
evacuated their families to the

Diplomatic quarters here re
ported that Germany had based its
right of sending replacement
troops through Finland to lar
northern Norway to concentrate
huge forces in Norway.
Diplomats explained that Fin
land, like Rumania, was cooperat

bilization because of bitterness
against Russia regardless of any
concessions Russia might make.
Diplomats said that German prep

be merely a means of exerting

Missing Diver
Finally Found
In Deep Water
Entire Crew Believed
To Have Died; Attempts
To Communicate Fail
Portsmouth, N. H.. June 21 tUi
The missing submarine 09 was
located early today lying on the
blue mud floor of the Atlantic, hi
440 feet of water, with Its crow of
33 either dead or beyond hope of
rescue.
Rear Admiral Richard Edwards,
commanding the Atlantic subma
rine fleet, radioed the following
message to the Portsmouth navy
yard from the naval rescue ship
Falcon:
"Believe submarine definitely
located in 440 feet of water. Large
quantities of cork, oil, air and
decking sighted. Two grapnels at
tached. Will attempt to send diver
down about 7:30 a. m. tEDT)
when the Chewink (another res-'
cue vessel) arrives with equip-!
ment. Have made continuous ef
fort to communicate but have re
ceived no indication of life in sub
marine." Knox Visits Srrno
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox
visited the spot off the isies of
shoals, accompanied by Admiral
John D. Wainwright, commandant
of Portsmouth navy yard.
"Everything is being done that
can be done," Knox said. He added
that he was disheartened to learn
of the extreme depth of the 0-9 a
depth that balked both rescue and
salvage operations.
Knox found a huge flotilla of
rescue and salvage craft standing
by the scene, 15 miles off the New
Hampshire coast. Plans to send
down a diver to inspect the ill
starred undersea craft, resting on
the blue mud floor of the Atlantic,
were deferred temporarily.
The floating wreckage included
bits of cork Insulation, indicating
that at least one part of the anti
quated submarine's hull had been
crushed by the terrific pressure of
the water, which at that depth,
measured almost 200 pounds to
the square inch.
The Falcon's grappling hooks
had located an object on the ocean
floor shortly after midnight. The
rescue ship had dropped three
buoys to mark the spot, although
it already was littered with float
ing wreckage and an extensive oil
slick.
Navy divers were preparing to
go down to explore the ocean
floor, but divers can endure that
depth for only seven to ten min
utes, depending on weather con
ditions and the strength of the
man, and it is an eight-hour proc
ess to send a diver down, bring
him back and resuscitate him.
The 0-9, built 23 years ago, once
decommissioned, then recommis
sioned during the present navy ex
pansion program, was built to
withstand only 200 feet of water
and a navy officer here said the
pressure at 400 feet could be ex
pected to crush the submarine's
hull like an egg shell.
The divers, nevertheless, were
assigned to work in relays In an
apparently futile effort to save
the two officers and 31 men below.
The 0-9 had failed to come to
the surface yesterday after a two
