Newspaper Page TextTuesday, May 21, 1940 Ten The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Landon Confers With Roosevelt Tomorrow Washington, May 21 (JP) The White House said today that Alf M. Landon definitely would confer with President Roosevelt tomor row, although there had been a mixup in arrangements, and that as a preliminary, Rep. Wadsworth (R., N. Y.), would lunch with the chief executive today. Wadsworth is a campaign man ager for Prank Gannett, New York newspaper publisher and a repub lican presidential aspirant. Stephen Early, presidential sec retary, said that efforts had been made to postpone the visit of Lan don, 1936 republican presidential nominee, until Thursday. But through a misunderstanding, he said, some of those involved in making the arrangements thought the engagement was being cancelled. Now, Early explained, the original plan for the president to talk with Landon tomorrow will be followed. Chicago, May 21 (P) Alf M. Lan don, who said last night an invi tation to a White House conference had been rescinded, announced to day he was going to Washington af ter receiving a personal telephone call from President Roosevelt, The republican leader received a long distance telephone call in the midst of a conference with report ers regarding last night's cancella tion of a White House invitation. Landon said the call was from the White House and the president "wants me to come on down." Landon said the president person ally called him. He said he would leave for Washington this afternoon by train. The 1938 republican presidential nominee stopped off In Chicago last night en route to Washington for a luncheon appointment with Mr. Roosevelt. Landon received word from Brig. Gen. E. M. Watson, presidential secretary, that the meeting had been postponed "in definitely."

Hitlers Objective Is London, Not Paris By Louis P. Lochnar With The German Western Armies, May 21 (F) The fa mous Eiffel tower of Paris was clearly visible to the advance guards of Adolf Hitler's forward-dashing army this morning but it was by no means certain that the fuehrer would endeavor to cap ture the French capital In a hurry. He seemed more concerned with routing Belgian, French and English troops headed fc the French coast of the English channel. No less a man than General Wal ther von Reichenau, commander of the eighth army, was selected to perform this task. Yet even von Reichenau was not too busy to offer a welcome to Amer ican correspondents visiting the German western armies as Hitler's personal guests. Von Reichenau is credited with Mobilization of Industry Urged Portland, May 21 (P) H. W. Pren tis, president of the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, said to day "the time has come for a great mobilization of private enterprise in America." "By private enterprise we do not mean unrestricted activity," he ex plained. "We want a seasonable amount of umpiring by the govern ment, but we do not want the um pire to get into the game and send players to the sidelines." The freedom of America, Prentis told an interviewer, rests on a tri pod of representative democracy, civil and religious liberty and free private enterprise. "Undermine either of these and our freedom is lm pedaled," he add ed. "The moment government begins to plan the economic affairs of a nation, the government must mold public opinion through the news papers, the radio, motion pictures, the schools and churches. "Whenever the rights of these ag encies are endangered, there rises a strong agency In its defense. Free private enterprise is being threaten ed today, and it Is our organization, the National Association of Manu facturers, which has undertaken the defense. "Creeping collectivism has been appearing in alarming rapidity through many agencies, and we are out to defend the principles set up by the founders of the nation. We have been so busy with material af fairs that we have lost sight of these principles." Prentis Is here to attend the Ore gon industrial leadership conference, Alaska Will Have National Guard Washington, May 21 (P) Enlist ment of a National Guard in Al- nska Is planned by the army as part of the new defense program for that area. General George C. Marshall chief of staff, told senators about this Inst week when he won a $12, 000.000 appropriation for defenses In that area. The testimony has just been made public. Seventh Grade Ushers Hosts to Graduates Woodburn The seventh grade ushers gave the eighth grade grad uates a party Thursday evening at the home of Jo Ann Tweedle. A acan venger hunt was held, games played and a wiener and marshmallow roast was held. Present were Robert Austin, Tom my Eniile. Harold Fisher. Wilbur Hirks. Don Stewart. Charles Bean. Dale Dryer, Inn Leighty, Barbara Jones, Dorothy Johnson, Albert Hu Rlll, Joy Randall, Donna Dean, Arlene Rmolnlsky, Walter Miller. Clifford Wilkins. Dora Thompson. Alice Nus scar, Bruce Nelson, Gordon Dixon, Robert Earl. Beverly and Homer Da venport. Dorothy Davis and the ush ers, JoAnn Tweedle, Beverly Hughes, and Al Stone. John Mills, the other usher, was not able to be present. Australia's birthrate of 17.8 a thousand. Just computed, is the highest in seven years. J ' knowing every detail of Germany's famous Pincer tactics. He covered himself with glory during the Polish campaign by a practical Illustra tion of how these tactics can be applied. With von Relchenau's army on the right wing apparently heading in the direction of the French and Belgian coastal points and with the left wing gradually moving south ward, Hitler could afford to let the center take care of Itself, as indi cated In yesterday's high command communique. Paris will fall Into his lap, he feels, like a ripe apple from a tree if von Reichenau can Intercept the allied forces heading for the coast. Be sides, Hitler is not nearly as much interested in Paris as in London. One must not forget that Hitler regards the present war primarily as a fight with the British empire. Months of incessant propaganda have Inculcated this Idea also in the minds of the German people. Significantly, every radio an nouncement concerning events in the west ends with the stereotyped playing of the song "We Are Sailing Against England." No tune Is ever played Indicating an anti-French theme. The antt-Engllsh song also was played during the seizure of Denmark and the Norwegian waters. Library Ruins Seen by Newsmen With the German Western Arm ies, May 21 (fp) American news paper correspondents, guests of Adof Hitler, Monday saw the ruins of Lou vain library, which was erected on Herbert Hoover square by co-operation of numerous Am erican universities. The building had been gutted by fire. Its 700,000 volumes must be con sidered lost. All floors have been swept by the blaze. No one seemed to be able to say by whom or how the blaze had been set. From the basement wisps of smoke still rose. Latitude Given Politics, Religion Washington, May 21 (U.R) The U. & Supreme oourt snld Monday In unequivocal words thnt in the realm ot reunion and politics the greatest latitude must be pre served for the expression ot an in dlvldual's opinion. Accordingly, the court held that a Connecticut statute regulating the solicitation ot funds for religious purposes is unconstitutional. At the same time it set aside the conviction of a member of the Je hovah's Witnesses religious sect charged with breaching the peace by playing before Catholics a phon ograph record attacking that faith.

J May 21 (IP) New Jersey's primary election today, last in the nation at which presi dential delegates will be chosen, was expected to test the impromptu vote-getting strength of utilities magnate Wendell L. Willkie, repub lican "dark horse" possibility for the presidential nomination. Willkie's sudden appearance on the New Jersey political scene ex panded election Interest which otherwise had been confined to the bitterly waged fight between former Governor Harold O. Hoffman and State Senator Robert C. Hendrick- son for the republican guberna torial nomination. A "write-in" campaign undertaken on Willkie's behalf by Independent groups almost on the eve of the election was given Impetus yester day when 500 New Jersey republi can leaders turned out at Somer ville to hear the 48-year old Will kie blast the new deal as "Incapable" of preparing the nation's defenses. New York District Attorney Tho mas E. Dewey is the sole candidate to file in New Jersey's presidential preferential primary and Is expected to win support of the state's 32 delegates to the national G.O.P. convention. The size of Willkie's "write-in" vote, however, observers said, would influence the allegiance of dele gates after the first few ballots at the convention. U. S. Senator W. Warren Barbour (republican) was expected to re ceive nellgtble opposition for re nomination, while James H. B. Cromwell, U. S. minister to Canada, was unopposed for the democratic nomination for United States sena tor, and Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison was without opposi tion for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. The election will present President Roosevelt with 32 votes in the demo cratic national convention since all delegate candidates are pledged to a third term, despite the fact the president has not entered the pri mary. Oath Given to Young Attorney Yakima, May 21 (IP) Judge Jere- miah Neterer Monday administered the oath of office to Lyle Keith who at 32 years Is said by court officials to be the youngest attorney to serve as district attorney in the east Washington district of the federal court. Mr. Keith's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Keith of Spokane, came to Yakima to see their son sworn in. No sooner had Keith become dis. trlct attorney than he resumed his grilling of Albert Jaeskel, Golden dale, who Is charged with murder for the slaying of an Indian in a quarrel over sheep grazing. Keith questioned Jaekel for more than two hours. Red Finn Hall Raid Investigated Aberdeen, May 21 (IP) Prosecu tor Stanley J. Krause announced Monday that FBI agents have launched a "thorough and impar tial Investigation of the Red Finn hall raid here December 2." The agents conferred with Krause, Special Prosecutor Paul O. Manley and Police Chief George S. Dean today. They refused to comment to news men. Krause said they told him they were not Investigating the Laura Law slaying case. The hall was wrecked by a mob the night of December 2 after a so-called "vic tory dance" had been scheduled by alleged sympathizers of Russia's in vasion of Finland. This Is the first time the FBI men have come here on the hall .raid case. Neutrality Called Near Betrayal Toronto, Ont May 21 (Neu trality in the current war "amounts almost to a betrayal of modern civ lllzatlon and highest moral aspira tions of mankind," Archdeacon A. P. Gower-Rees of Montreal said Monday. Addressing almost 2.000 Canadian and United States delegates to the first International Credit Men's congress, the Anglican church of ficial said neutrality might be the "right national attitude" in some disputes, but added: "The Issues at stake in this pres ent conflict demand that every na tion shall decide without delay on which side It should devote its strength."

' ) Wanted a Medicine Like the KruGon for The Past 50 Years Mrs. Ludwig Is Now Feeling Fine; Foods Digest Properly, Aches and Pains Relieved, Sleeps Good, Is Glad to En dorse the Modern Capsule Remedy KruGon Is NOT A LIQUID . . . but Is a full-strength, capsule rem edy, which tens of thousands throughout the country acclaim as a "God-send" as It has given such surprising results after all other MRS. MART J. LUDWIG medicines tried and failed. KruGon has been made to help suffering people . , . and no expense has been spared. It contains more REAL MEDICINE per dose than any other medicine we know of. The success we have met with has led us to be lieve that no similar preparation has been as successful In bringing desired results to such a large pro portion of its local users. For example, read what Mrs. Mary J. Ludwlg, a well known, high ly respected lady who Uvea at 838 West 3rd Ave., Eugene, Oregon, said recently in talking with the Krt Gon representative who la at th Fred Meyer Drug Store, 141 North Liberty street, Salem: "I know there are many people that are needing a preparation like this KruGon," said Mrs. Ludwlg. "I do hope my statement of facta con cerning my case will be the mean of others learning about KruGon, My health problems began mora than fifty years ago with constipa tion and this has been the dread of my life. I ached all over, espe cially in my neck, shoulders and down my back. I did not sleep at night but would lay awake by the hour and each morning I simply felt terrible. I was sluggish, pepless and had to force myself to do every thing. Even my foods often did not digest properly and that only added to my already miserable condition. I lost my appetite, did not have my usual strength and really my case was alarming. But the medicines I tried were not made for me and it was not until I began KruGon than I found the very medicine I has wanted all these years." "When I first began KruGon I had no faith In it at all but It was not long until I was one of its most faithful boosters," continued Mrs. Ludwlg. "With the first few dosea I was given proper elimination and then I soon showed rapid Improve ment in many ways. I am feellnff better today than I have in years. My bowels are regular, appetite has re turned and I enjoy my foods with out any distressing effects after wards. My aches and pains have been relieved, sleep good, have more strength and energy and have found a new Joy In living which has been unknown to me for years. Is It any wonder I am glad to speak a good word for a remedy like KruGon?" The Special KruGon Man Is dally meeting the local public at the Fred Meyer Drug Store, 148 North Liber ty street, Salem, where he Is intro ducing and explaining the action of this modem capsule remedy.
