Thursday June 13, 1940 The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Three Do or Die Call 'Announced to Republicans Philadelphia, June 13 (B A Mls-Bouri-born Connecticut Yankee in charge of arrangements for the re publican national convention an nounced today the forthcoming ses sion might be regarded as his party's "last call to the diner." "If we don't produce a leader to take us out of this trouble," Sam uel P. Pryor, Jr., declared In an interview, "this form of government Is gone. It might be our last con vention." By "this trouble," he explained he meant the domestic policies of the new deal. Co-workers of the 42-year-old ar- rangements committee chairman , nay the convention, opening here i June 24, has become a do-or-die proposition with Pryor. Those who know Pryor suddenly thrust into the chairmanship by the : death of Ralph E. Williams, of Portland, Ore., a month ago nsay he doesn't dally with "ifs." A close friend of Gene Tunney, Pryor once won the featherweight championship of Yale university. Now he does most of his battling in the political arena with his old ring spirit of always fighting to win. As a member of the resolutions committee, he will help draft the 1940 republican platform when the committee meets here next week in advance of the convention. "We'll get the whole platform on one page," he declared. That, his associates say, is typical of Sam Pryor. Barrow, England, has offered its German field gun, captured in World war I, as scrap iron. Chilean Liner wrecked After Hitting Canal Breakwater The 7,2l6-ton Chilean liner, Coplapo, with water In her bow up to the anchor line, Is shown berthed at Cristobal, C. Z., alter being towed Into the harbor after striking the west breakwater at the harbor entrance. The ship's 110 passengers and crew were rescued. Officials blamed the navigator's failure to see the breakwater lights. Ship channel where mishap occurred is wide enough so that a wreck would not have halted traffic. French A rmy Menaced By Destruction By DeWItt MacKenzie (Associated Press Staff Writer) Generalissimo Weygand's allied forces defending Paris are in a tight spot because of the insistent German turning movements which are calculated to encircle and destroy the mam jTench army, just now tight that spot Is depends on how close the nazl offensive is to the slack ening down moment which must come to all such great drives, One would expect the invading war-machine to show signs of slow ing up already, but it must be ad- TMtles 1000 1 Kli 1 trNKARA Nl ISC!

Italian planes raided Aden (3), British base in Arabia, Aden is 100 miles from Djibouti and principal city of French Somaliland (black area.) British believed allied armada in Mediterranean might clash with Italian fleet near Italian-held Dodecanese Islands (4), off Turkey. " mitted '.hat thus far those signs have been lacking. The assault was continued with unabated fury to day, the French announcing that the Germans were using 1,800,000 troops, which I should say would be about twice the defending force. Where Weygand's poilus got the strength to counter-attack north of Paris this morning and hurl the Hitlerites hack five miles is a mat ter of wonder. This feat speaks volumes, however, for the fighting spirit and stamina of the defend ers. The German turning operations have continued with some success on both allied flanks, and these represent the worst danger spots in the long battle line. On the French right wing the Germans have compelled a with drawal in the Meaux - Chateau Thierry sector and have crossed the river Marne. Here again Is a real threat to the allied line. Should the Germans be able to sever the allied front here It might presage a disastrous rolling back which, taken in conjunction with the turning movement on the west flank, would mean encirclement of the allied forces. Weygand's task Is to hold the German onslaught until there is the inevitable slackening of the offensive. As this Is being written a bulle tin from Berlin states that the French military will bs asked by the German high command to sur render Paris. Apart from other considerations, the nazls have been considerably concerned over world reaction to a destructive siege of Paris. If the present temper of the French doesn't change, this cos mopolitan city which belongs equally to all cultured nations will not be surrendered until the defenders are crushed. Danger of the city being destroyed may have been lessened today by the action of the military governor in declaring It is an "open city" and that the city proper will not be defended. Should Paris be razed, to my mind the effect of that tragedy will reach far beyond France. It will sweep around the world, and I can be lieve that it will have a potent In fluence on the minds of many.

High Court May Face Showdown San Francisco, June 13 VP) A showdown In the United States supreme court appeared probable tciay over the naturalization of William Schneiderman, state sec retary of the communist party, whose citizenship was cancelled yes terday by a ruling of Federal Judge Michael J. Roche. The Judge held that Schneider man had obtained citizenship Il legally because he failed to reveal that during a five year probationary period he belonged to organizations advocating violent overthrow of the government. Attorney George Andersen, who defended the 34-year-old commun ist, said he would appeal the deci sion and probably take the case be fore the supreme court. If the ruling Is upheld, it would pave the way for deportation pro ceedings against Schneiderman, who was born In Rumanov, Russia, and came to the United States in 1908. Judge Roche cited that testimony showed Schneiderman had belonged to two organizations now merged with the communist party, the Young Workers' League of America and the Workers' Party of America. Assistant U, S. Attorney Louis Mercado, who handled the govern ment's case, said the decision did not affect naturalized persons who Joined the communist party after they became citizens. Schneiderman, former Los An geles newsboy who ran for governor on tile Minnesota communist ticket in 1930, denied he advocated violent overthrow of the government, and said he would bear arms against Russia if this country were involved In war with his native land.
