Say Arranges
Oregon Displays
Far Abroad
Graphic displays of Oregon's out
standing scenic and recreational at
tractions have been arranged for In
Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, St.
Louis and other travel centers for
the summer by Harold B. Say, di
rector of the travel and information
department of the Oregon state
highway commission who Is now on
a tourist seeking trip to the mid
west and east.
The scenes will include all of
Oregon's better known spots such
as Crater Lake, Oregon Caves, Mt.
Hood, the Oregon coast and Colum
bia river highways, Silver Falls
state park, the high Wallowas and
various fishing and vacation activi
ties. These displays will be in the
form of illuminated transparencies,
enlarged photographs and kindred
material placed in attractively
dressed windows of motor clubs and
other travel bureaus.
Say reports to his office here that
. these organizations are not only
willing but happy to feature Ore
gon and that motor clubs and other
bureaus which he has visited are
unanimous in declaring that motor
ists are becoming more interested
each year in Oregon; that motor
ists are making longer trips; and
that this increase of interest in
Oregon has been marked during the
past three years.
The Conoco Travel bureau In
Denver, one of the largest in the
country, reported that where one
person in B.2 in 1936 asked for
routing to Oregon, one in seven re
quested It in 1939; and forecast
that the number will climb this
year.
J. E. Crouch, manager of the tra
vel division of the Cleveland Auto
mobile club, said 80 per cent of his
routings were for western trips and
he estimated 75 per cent of those
would visit the Pacific northwest,
E. S. Matheson, manager of the
tour bureau of the Michigan Auto
mobile club, largest in the land with
140,000 members, said use of western
tour books had jumped from 35,000
last year to 52,000 this year. Math'
eson forecast a steady increase In
travel from Michigan to Oregon's
vacation wonderland.
Second Series
Of SUCC Tests
A second series of tests to set up
new two year merit registers for po
sitions with the state unemploy
ment compensation commission was

year are included in the series, ap
plications for which must be re

the board at its Portland office,
701 Spalding building. Any Oregon
resident having the required experi
ence and other qualifications may
take the examinations, which are
to be held, probably in August, in
Portland, Salem, LaGrande, Klam
ath Falls and Roseburg.
Examinations to be given, along
with salary ranges, follow: Clerk
typist $900 to $1,380; clerk-stenogra
pher $960 to $1,680; key punch op

As a result of written tests re

set up for employment service and
accounting positions. Another ser

all merit registers must be renewed
every two years.

Military Resistance
In France Crushed
By DeWitt MacKenzle
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
Whatever may be the ultimate outcome of the German
armistice terms laid down in the historic forest of Compiegne
today, the chance of further effective military resistance bv
continental France has been crushr . -
ed. Colonies may elect to hold out,
but the mother country must bow
her neck to the burden of occupa
tion and rule by enemy soldiery un
til the entire war is finished.
Alrea'dy In recognition of the
close of this phase of the blitzkrieg
the Battle of Britain is swelling up
in heavy bombings by both sides,
with considerable loss In civilian
lives. It won't be long now before
we get the full fury of the final
stage of the conflict to determine
whether the British and French
empires shall survive or whether
Adolf Hitler shall rule Europe.
Capture of the great port of
Brest in Brittany has given the
Oermans the last point of vantage
of this sort that they needed for
their onslaught. All the continental
channel ports, and all the North
Sea ports clear to the Arctic, now
are lined up in nazl hands to act
as bases for the assault .
England faces two dangers star
vation and invasion and it would
be avoiding the truth If one didn't
recognize the great gravity of the
British position. Premier Churchill
the other day told the house of
commons:
"We shall defend our Island what
ever the cost may be. We shall fight
on the beaches. We shall fight on
the landing grounds. We shall flBht
In the fields and streets and In the
hills."
Undoubtedly the British will do
exactly that if the German threat
of Invasion Is carried out. And with
some two million men already under
arms, the little island should give
a good account of itself.
There still remains, however, the
grim and perhaps more dangerous
threat of starvation through the air
and submarine blockade which the
Germans intend to Impose with all
their power. We must remember
that England is dependent on sea
borne imports for more than seventy-five
percent of her foodstuffs.
British Food Minister Lord Wool
ton Informed the house of lords
Wednesday that the country has
enough of the most essential foods
to last "for weeks and weeks," even
if nothing else comes Into the
country. He added:
"Up and down the country, in
places we hope have been kept
secret, we have iron rations to be
used only in great emergency."
That statement was meant to be
reassuring, but it scared me. Food
supplies for "weeks and weeks'
aren't sufficient for a country of
more than forty-six million popula
tion under siege. I saw England on
short rations in the World war. In
deed, during the German unrestric
ted submarine warfare of 1916-17
the allies came as close as could be
to losing the conflict.

The proposal, awaiting final ap
proval at the 38th annual conven

Liquor Commission
Seeks New Quarters
The state liquor commission, meet'
ing here today with Gov. Charles
A. Sprague, said it was looking for
new headquarters and warehouse
facilities in Portland.
"We are thinking of either buy
ing or leasing new headquarters
and new warehouse facilities," the
commssion said, "as our present
facilities are inadequate."
The commission granted four 11
censes and refused five others,
refusals being on grounds that the
licenses are not demanded by pub
lic interest or convenience.

In Seattle
Seattle, June 21 (P Tyre H. Hol
lander, head of the Seattle American
Legion post subversive activities in
vestigation committee, last night
told a community club that there
were 1,821 members of the com
munist party in Seattle and 71 party
units in King county.
"It is up to you people, as
American citizens, to defend your
country by reporting subversive ac
tivities and backing the Legion In

and who, with his mother, holds
communist meetings every Sunday
afternoon.
Hollander said there were about
half a dozen "pink" professors at
the university, and that numer

Possibility of
Incendiarism
Being Sifted
Hoqulam, Wash., June 21 (P)
Fire Chief Charles Crawford inves
tigated today the possibility that a
fire which caused an estimated
$800,000 damage to the Poison lum
ber and shingle mill "A" last night
was of Incendiary origin.
Crawford said he noticed a sus
picious looking character loitering
about the property when firemen
were called to the shingle mill to
extinguish a blaze at 4:30 p. m. This
fire was quickly extinguished. A
half hour later, shortly after the
shift had finished and the millmen
had left the plant, fire broke out in
the planer mill.
The second fire spread rapidly de
stroying te mill and 10,000,000 feet
of lumber. All Hoqulam and Aber
deen fire fighting equipment, aided
by auxiliary lines from neighboring
industrial plants prevented the
blaze from spreading to the nearby
Posey Manufacturing company1
plant after the flames had eaten
into the Posey lumber yard.
The burned lumber included
million feet of spruce which was to
be loaded aboard the freighter Ken-
mar today for shipment to the east
coast for airplane manufacture,
The blaze was Grays Harbor'
second heavy Industrial loss In re
cent months. The Aberdeen Plywood
company plant was destroyed by
fire March 1 at a loss of $800,000.
The Poison plant, one of the most
modern and most regularly operat
ed on Grays Harbor, employed ap
proximately 250 men.

KruQon'a vegetable Ingredient
compared with other medicines tried
before. This modern capsule remedy
has given surprising relief from so
called rheumatic aches and pains,
dizzy spells, bloating, distress after
meals, headaches, nervousness, night
risings or backaches which so fre
quently accompany faulty bowel ac
tion. One of the recent local cases'
where KruQon was so completely
satisfactory was that of Mrs. J. W.
Wilson, 201 South Commercial
Street, Salem, a highly esteemed
lady who has lived here for the past
fifteen years. Read her praising
statement as given to the KruQon
Representative at the Fred Meyer
Drug Co., 148 North Liberty Street,
this city:
Until after I had taken KruQon
I would not have believed that such
small amount of medicine could
be so completely satisfactory," said
Mrs. Wilson. "I had been ailing In to
many ways for years, all brought
on through faulty elimination be
cause for years I had been so badly
constipated. Suffering with poor di
gestion followed every meal t ale.
Gas would form and I would bloat
badly and suffered with such severe
pain 1 don't see now how I stood It.
Foods soured on my stomach and it
seemed there was nothing I could
cat but that would cause mc suffer
ing. In this condition I could not
get the rest and sleep I needed at
night and everything I did during
the day was becoming an effort for
me, feeling as I did. But KruGon
wasted no time In helping me.
"The action of tills modern cap
sule remedy was Just whnt I had
been wanting to fit my case," con
tinued Mrs. Wilson." It began with a
thorough easy action thbt did not
gripe or nauseate me as so many
previously tried remedies had done.
Once given proper elimination of
those clogged intestinal impurities
I was feeling different than I had
In years. I now eat and enjoy my
foods, nothing I eat causing mc any
distress afterwards. 1 get the rest
and sleep I need for I am not both
ered at night any more, rise each
morning refreshed and relieved of
that pain which had accompanied
my suffering for so long. 1 do not
hesitate to recommend a medicine
like KruGon to all who suffer as I
did."
