Labor Threat of Boycott Heard TUIamook, Ore., June, 21 (flV-Two resolutions asking boycotts against the Associated Farmers of Oregon were submitted to the Oregon State Federation of Labor convention yes terday after Ben T. Osborne, execu tive secretary, had threatened such action. Osborne charged that "misguided farmers who have taken membership In the Associated Farmers who are cooperating with the antl-unton as. aociatlon employers are unwittingly aiding their own enemies." He praised a joint state grange and labor federation committee and urg ed its continuance to "defeat the present attempt to divide the two great producing groups." Defeat of Governor Charles H. Martin In the democratic primary election Osborne termed "of first magnitude, not only for labor but for all the forces of sane government." The secretary predicted the next session of the legislature and the November ballot would bring anti labor measures, which he urged un olna to fight by assessing each mem ber 35 cents. A Struggle between AFU and CIO forces for control of the lumber In- dustry appeared near an end, Os borne said, because the CIO was at the point of "disappearing." No di rect mention of a statewide round up of alleged labor terrorists was made, but Osborne said "the labor movement should be militant, but militancy Is not synonymous with violence.

Salem, Oregon Strawberries Found Better Than Oranges Strawberries as a provider of vitamin "C" have a greater value than oranges, considered for many years as the outstanding commodity to build up several important structures of the body. Including the teeth, some special nervous tis sue and the like. That this Is a fact is derived from reading the results of a series of experiments conduct ed over a period of months by Dr. O. C. Bellinger, superintendent of the State Tuberculosis hospital. The experiments were largely In duced by learning that patients en tering the tuberculosis hospital were found to be generally low In their vitamin C." Naturally those commodities which were found to possess a high content of this vital element were the ones to be given sick folk.

Fresh Berries Best A report from Germany which said that strawberries had 50 per cent more than the average orange in vitamin "C Interested Dr. Bel linger, who had already conducted a number of investigations. Oran ges which were tested all during the winter months ran from 42 to 68 milligrams of vitamin "C" per 100 grams. Frozen strawberries were found to be about equal to oranges while high grade canned ones were found to run about the same. When fresh berries came on the market they were tested. The arrivals from California ran from 70 to 85. The locals commanded testing around SO and ran up to 95. while a batch of Marsha lis brought In from Drake's crossing in the Sllverton HUli country ran 111. Red Hearts from the same district tested 83, although they were not In prime condition. Wild berries gathered at a little higher elevation went 71. Checking back over the series of Investigations Dr. Bellinger has ar rived at the conclusion that soil, seed, varieties and even elevation play an important part In fruit when vitamin "C is at stake. Fruits should be In prime condi tion and "the more pains we take to put up fruit or vegetables, the higher will be the vitamin content of the canned stuff." Apples Not So Good While American food authorities generally rate strawberries about as tomatoes In connection with vita min "C," the experiments con ducted at the hospital have not borne this out. Since vitamin "C Is not stored In the body as several of the other vitamins are, there has been a con stant search for the commodity which will provide the greatest re turns. Along this line lt is pointed out that vitamin "C" la found In many fruits and vegetables, such as pineapples, pears and peaches, but to a less extent than In toma toes. Apples are still lower and vary so that some kinds of apples run six and seven times as high as others, but even the highest apples are only about one-fourth or one- fifth as rich as the best tomatoes. New potatoes run about half to the best tomatoes, but are subject to considerable loss as they grow older. The average serving of berries at restaurant would run about 100 grams and lt they were as rich as the Marshall mentioned above this would yield around 110 milligrams, which is two or three times much vitamin "C" as the human body needs each day. It would be a little more than equal to the re turns from a half pint of orange juice. China Prepares New Defenses Shanghai, June 31 VP) China re organized and strengthened Han kow's defenses today while Japan's offensive against the temporary cap ital remained stuck in the mud by the spreading flood of the Yellow river. Every day's delay to the Japanese, the Chinese high command said. has been used to bolster strategic points blocking what ia expected to be Japan's line of attack deeper into China's heart. They said Chinese lines now were virtually prepared to withstand any onslaught while Japan's mechaniz ed army still was bogged in the mire of the flooded battlefields and her air squadrons were grounded by rain. Sixty new divisions, numbering about 500,000 men, were said to have been prepared to take up posi tions In Hankow's last line of de fense. The unexpected delay also was vitally helpful, Chinese declared, In assembling new equipment. In cluding a large number of planes from Soviet Russia and elsewhere, 1200 Russian tanks, 380 Russian guns and 300 other guns. Blocked by the floods, the Jap anese were reported In a great re treat from the Honan province front where, two weeks ago, wavering Chinese resistance placed Cheng chow, Junction of the north-south Pelplng-Hankow and east-west Lunghal railroads, in peril of cap ture. Chinese sources said the Invad ing forces were divided Into two armies. One. they said, apparently would Join the Yangtze river of fensive against Hankow and the other would attempt a new cam paign against the Chinese com munist stronghold If) Shensl pro vince in the northwest. r-Sflf.V . t.

U Morgenthau, Eccles Clash In Bank Exams Washington, June 31 IIP) The disagreement between the treasury and the federal reserve board over bank examination policy reached a climax today In a demand by Secre tary Morgenthau for Immediate ad option of his program. Morgenthau announced he would send his recommendations to the president for approval without the endorsement of Chairman Marrlner S. Eccles of the federal reserve board If the latter, were not received in 48 hours. Tile treasury head has held up the new policy two weeks In an effort to get Eccles' approval. The comp troller of currency, the federal de posit Insurance corporation and the national association of state bank examiners already have endorsed lt. Eccles has opposed the policy on the ground that lt does not go far enough In liberalizing bank examin ations. He has reiterated In recent weeks that "restrictive" rules were retarding the flow of credit into business and thereby delaying recov ery. Morgmthau's new program pro vides some liberalization of banking rules, but places more emphasis on standardization. The chief differ ences In view as expressed by the two officials In recent discussions can be summed up briefly: Morgenthau holds that the first duty of banks Is to their depositors, and bank examinations should be strict enough to Insure full compll anee with that obligation. Eccles contends that deposit Insur ance, by removing the threat of bank runs, should permit more lati tude In making loans, and that lib eralized credit policies would stlm- uiste recovery. Among the "liberalizing" provl slons of the Morgenthau program are those to permit banks to purchase some local bond Issues which they do not purchase now, and to per mit banks to disregard temporary market depreciation of their highest grade securities.
