Sublimity. Grasshopper Army Attacks Coalinga, Cat. Coalings, Cel.. April 31 U.R This town was surrounded by an invading army of billions today and advance units already were entering Its out skirts. Business was at a standstill and municipal authorities mobollzed vir tually every able-bodied male to hold back the invaders, and, if necessary, fight them through the streets and from house to house. Meanwhile, they appealed for out side aid. Coalinga could not de feat the attackers alone they said it had to have state and federal aid, and at once. Already the attacking army had wrought frightful devastation. Commanders of the defending army surveyed the advancing hordes with fear. The were so tightly grouped, that a pencil point Inserted among them could not touch the earth, and there were so many the earth Itself seemed to be moving. This army was composed of grass. hoppers, the variety known as the 'devastator." Its objective was the young gardens, the stately trees, the lush lawns of this San Joaquin valley town. The town actually was In a state of emergency. Barrel after barrel of poison bran mash had been spread but the hopper army, composed of a type known as devastators, was so great that those killed by the poison merely formed a protective blanket for the hordes following "They are such hard things to fight," complained volunteers "you kill one and a thousand takes Its place." Agreement on Silverfon Road Work Sought Members of the Marlon county court and a special road committee from the Sllverton Chamber of Commerce are meeting here this af ternoon with the state highway com mission and It engineers in an ef fort to clear up the situation rela tive to a proposed $37,000 Improve ment of the Salem-Sllverton high way with federal secondary road funds. The county court was scheduled to confer with the commission at 3:30 o'clock and the 8tlverton dele gation later in the afternoon. Dr. P. A. Loar, Zetta schlador, Sllverton mayor, T. T. Leonard, president of the Sllverton Cham ber of Commerce, and John Oople rud, Brush creek farmer and good roads advocate, are on the special committee from Sllverton to plead the cause for the east end of the road. The county court Is agreeable to having the Improvement placed on the east end of the road If con ditions of the federal bureau of roads can be met. The original plan was to Improve the east end of the road on the south route from Bush creek school, but wnen all of the right of way conditions had not been met the court switched over to a recommendation for the west end of the road from Salem. This change met with protest from Sllverton and a large delegation met with the court here recently to re gister objections. The upshot of that meeting was the naming of the com mittee designated to attend the meeting today and see If the matter could not be Ironed out so the ori ginal plan for Improving the east end of the road could be revived. Campus Chatter by Eleanor Swift University of Oregon Excitement reigned In the Igloo Saturday night when students "whooped it up" at the annual AWS carnival.

Mencken Raises Question of Press Control Washington, April 31 W Mem bers of the American Society of Newspaper Editors considered today predictions voiced by Henry L. Men cken as they gave attention to passible means of averting censor ship In event this country should become Involved In war. Mencken told the editors yesterday conditions of government control of the press In event of war would be "even worse" than In the World war when, he declared, "every news paper man In the United States did his work under threat and duress.' Walter Harrison, managing editor of the Oklahoma City Oklahoman, said he Intended to bring up the subject of press freedom at a meet ing of the resolutions committee. We reconlze the drift all over the world against Individual free dom," Harrison said, "and we possi bly ought to reaffirm our faith as Americans m the fundamentals of freedom guaranteed In the consti tution and we ought to continue to fight for them regardless of what happens." Mencken, Baltimore Sun papers writer, raised the press-control Issue yesterday with the statement that If the administration succeeds In promoting a general war In Europe, and the United States, as seems in evitable, Is accommodated in the forefront of the fray, then the news papers of the country will suffer a series of headaches beside which those of the moment- will seem to be only friendly tickles." After a private conference with President Roosevelt last night, the editors occupied a good part of their day with meetings bearing on the possibility of conflict abroad.
