The ditch follows the Belgian border and Is supported by gun casements, thick beds of barbed wire, and a parallel system of anti tank rails. The defense line re places completely an ineffective sys tem of forts smashed by German armies in 1814. Decision to fortify the zone was made after March 7, 1936. when Hitler denounced the Locarno treaty and ordered his troops to occupy the Rhlneland. The anti-tank ditch, wide as a canal, was projected when France recognized the potential threat of a German lnvassion of Belgium and Holland, and the entire system was completed in two years.

Ingalls Talks On Lincoln to Kiwanis Club Women of the nation should unite to dispel the myth of Abraham Lin coln's love for Ann Rutledge In honesty to the memory of Mary Todd Lincoln, his wife, the victim of malicious gossip and slander for years, Claude Ingalls, publisher o: the Corvallis Gazette-Times, told the Klwanls club today In speaking about Lincoln. "No one ever heard of Ann until two years after the death of the president," Ingalls de clared. Mrs. Lincoln died, he said, of a broken heart after being a& cused of many things. Including that of being a southern spy because most of her relatives were south erners. Lincoln cannot be compared with any other great man because none had the same mission as he had, and he is revered as the greatest civilian from the days of David to General Pershing, Ingalls said. He was des cribed as opposed by the church because he was not orthodox and entered into olflce as no other rul er In the history of the world, op posed by hostile legislatures and ridi culed as a clown by opposition news papers. Lincoln possessed the ma jor principles of the republican party 20 years before that party was conceived, yet did not accept It un til after It had been formed two years. He knew nothtng of mili tary affairs and was faced by Jef ferson Davis, a graduate of West Point. Lincoln, Ingalls declared, truly "belongs to the ages." Ingalls was Introduced by Gover- ner Charles A. Bprague, lormer business associate In Corvallis. Spe cial music was provided by the Sa lem high school gins' octette. Grand Jury lo Meet Monday Tlie grand jury will convene again on Its own motion next Monday, February 19, probably to give further consideration to the matter of its investigation Into the office of city recorder. This action was taken by the grand Jury Saturday afternoon before its retirement for the week and after It had filed Its report on grist of Indictments with Judge McMahan and received back from Judge McMnhan the presentment It had filed with him several weeks ago in the city recorder's matter. The court in returning the pre sentment held that It was not a legally filed presentment, that it had been given out to the press im properly and as such was void and or no force. In addition he held that the presentment contained only one fact of minor Importance, and that presentments are to be built on facts. This left the matter of the Jones investigation in very much what ever status It might have been be fore the grand Jury filed its pre sentment and thus It Is assumed that the grand Jury reconvening on its own call plans to discuss what further steps shall be taken In the matter. The present grand Jury was eon tinued over from the preceding term and Is the same grand Jury which presented the indictment, having been continued over into this term on order of Judge McMahan.

Deficit Policy A Vicious Circle New York, Feb. 13 (P) The gov ernment's deficit spending policy was termed an obstacle to business recovery today by Harley Lutz, pro fessor of public finance at Prince ton university, addressing the mid winter trust conference of the American Bankers' association. "We have before us," Lutz said, the outline of a beautiful vicious circle. The taxes that can be collected from a $90,000,000,000 na tional Income will not suffice to cover the kind of spending program that was launched to build us up to the $90,000,000,000 income level, and we shall be told that the gov ernment is shooting at $100,000,000,- 000, where it hopes to balance the budget. "This kind of logic belongs In the same class with theories of perpet ual motion and bootstrap levltatlon. The needed driving force must come from private economy. It will never come from a policy of gov ernmental deficit financing." Another speaker, Roland E. Clark, of Portland, Me., president of the association's trust division, said: "xne domestic situation in our own country gives us cause to fear that we may fail to preserve our long cherished right of Individual initiative unhampered by undue governmental regulation and ad ministration, and also fail to keep our time-nonored iorm of govern ment by legislation enacted by rep resentatives of the people, thus re sulting in a government by executive decree and subject to the whim of bureaucratic administra tive officers." Continuation of Picket Law Repeal From Page 1 liclty attendant upon the goon trials then In progress, labor lead crs have all along maintained that a reversal of popular opinion would result from the quieting down of warfare on the labor front and they have been conspicuously bending their efforts to that end. But at the same time sponsors and friends of the picketing law, warned of labor's Intentions to seek repeal of the act, have been busily engaged hi strengthening and en larglng their forces for its defense, Tlie Associated Farmers, who initi ated the measure, have doubled their membership in the past year, as have their affiliated Industrial allies and several new citizens' groups having the same objectives have been set up. Evidence of the activity of these groups is contain ed in the endorsements being given candidates for local officers all over Uie state. Any attempt to repeal the picket ing law will have widespread rami fications and stir up another hor net's nest. County politics cams to life again today with news of three lm pending candidacies. Sheriff A. C. Burk, democratic hr cumbent for two terms, announced that he would before night file his declaration for re-election. To friends and other interested persons H. F. Durham, former prin cipal of the Parrish. Junior high school, confided that he will seek the non-partisan nomination for county school superintendent. To add further spice to the two way contest for county commission er M. M. Magee, farmer of the Ma cleay district, is giving consldera I J on to the suggestion of friends that he become a republican candidate. FREE!!

ELFSTROM 375 Chemeketa Alien Fishing Bills Held Move :or Defense Washington. Feb. IS WV-Repre- sentatlve Kramer (D-Oalif) said to day four bills being studied by the house merchant marine committee to restrict operation of fishing ves sels on the west coast by aliens were "more national defense bills than fishing bills." Fishing vessels operated by aliens. he asserted, constitute a "menace to the fleet." The committee had up for hearing a bill by Kramer HR 5837) to deny all vessels not wholly owned by United States citizens the privileges of vessels of the United States; a bill be Sheppard (D-Callf) HR 8180) to require at least 75 per cent of the crew of any United States fishing vessel to be citizens; and two similar bills HB 7694 and HR 1780) by Chairman Bland (D-Va.) Bland criticized the national defense theory of the proposed bills. "Even if we passed the most rigid legislation under high hea ven," he asked, "what is to prevent these same people from going to Mexico or some other neighboring state and carrying on their es pionage activities, and leaving us In a more unfavorable position tnan we are In now?" Harry Lundeberg, president of the Sailors Union of the -Pacific (AFL), said the bills would Impose unjustified hardships on Japanese fishermen on the west coast who entered the country legally prior to the Oriental exclusion act, but who cannot become citizens. About 450 such Japanese are now engaged in the sardine fishing In dustry, he said, and the proposed legislation would "drive tnem into the bread line." He urged an amendment to exempt aliens "legally admitted" who had been engaged in the in dustry for some time. Quint Tourney At Leslie High A district A. A.
