Eight The Capital Journal, Salem,' Oregon Wednesday, August 21, 1940 Stocks Stage Genera! Rally Up to 3 Points New York, Aug. 21 MP) A ripple of confidence ran through Wall Street today and stocks made a general rally. Gains, which In Instances were as much as three points, improved By fractions at the close, but the rate of transactions was spasmodic. About 400,000 shares changed hands. Foremost in the calculations of the traders was the royal air force "show" against the German air ar madas. Observers noted growing optimism toward the chances of England to resist the Invasion. Adding to this psychology was the constant rise, as spotted in vari ous indices, of American Industrial activity under the spur af rearma ment. Included In the best performers were U. 8. Steel, Bethlehem, Gen eral Motors, Chrysler, U. S. Rub ber, Allied Chemical and Interna tional Paper. Dow Jones preliminary closing stock averages: Industrial 125.07, up 1.90; rail 36.79, up 0.21; utility 21.97, Up 0.35; 65 Stocks 42.37, up 0.59. Stock sales approximated 360,000 shares against 340,000 in the pre vious session. Curb stock sales were 60,000 shares against 54,000 yester day. New York, Aug. 21 (P) In one of the sharpest rallies since the start of the war decline, Canadian govern ment and industrial bonds in stock exchange dealings today pushed up 920 to $50 per thousand dollar bond Securities circles attributed the rise to buying based on President Roosevelt's disclosure of an agree ment with Canada for Joint Canadian-American defense of the nor thern half of the western hemis phere. $36,019,761 Loans On New Wheat Washington, Aug .31 The commodity credit corporation an nounced today that 70,955 producers In 29 states had obtained loans total ing $36,019,761 on 60,081,261 bushels of new wheat through August 8.

Comments that are being made are mentioned in a letter written to the council by Homer H, Smith, Insurance agent. "We note," writes Smith, "that the Salem council has passed some resolution or ordinance requiring citizens living outside the city of Salem, that call the fire department, to pay a fee of $25 If no fire fighting is done and $50 if it is necessary to use the equipment to fight a lire. "This is considerably at variance with the resolution that we were able to have one of the neighboring cities pass, wherein the city agreed to fight fire outside the city limits without any charge. It would seem to us that the city is making a high charge to the outlying districts when it is these outside districts that help the merchants of Salem, While they do not pay taxes they do their trading In this city, and it Is the surrounding country which makes Salem what it is. This has caused considerable comment by the people living outside the city and makes for Ill-will rather than the good feeling which we should have. "You have so few calls outside the city that it would seem that the city would be much better off In furnishing the fire fighting service at a nominal sum rather than an excessive charge of $25 for making a run, which certainly is more than It Is worth, more than It costs the city for fighting the average fire, which has been largely residences, and takes but a very few minutes in any. event. 'Being In the Insurance business I hear the comments made and In almost every case It is unfavorable to the city. The city might be Justified in charging a very nominal fee not to exceed $10 for malting run and probably $15 or $20 If they should have to fight a fire." Hitlers Prestige in Russia Waning By J. W. T. Mason . United Presa War Expert The Russian government, which has shown a consis tently realistic capacity for judgment during the present war, allows its newspapers to declare that Germany is getting no where In attacking Britain from' the air. That frank comment will bo unpalatable to Hitler but will be an additional spur. If any be need ed, to more Intensive German activ ity. The present problem In Europe thus is how Hitler will try to strike afresh to save his prestige, which the Russian criticism Indicates is beginning to wane on the continent. He has declared "total blockade" of Great Britain, but that is an empty gesture which Is not getting him anywhere. He must engage In some Muskmelons Move On Local Markets Unionvale, Aug. 21 Packing and marketing the seven acres of Spear muskmelons grown at the Jonn Shelburne farm In this locality was started Wednesday, August 14, with 60-pound crates. Thursday and Friday were about the same and with the sultry days the last of the week and no picking made Saturday when the Sunday harvesting was counted 233 50-pound crates of No. 12 size melons were gathered .This is proof of the splendid muskmelon growing conditions in 1940 as com pared to the 1939 season when an unusually poor muskmelon season was experienced.

Carries War to Berlin Gates Royal Air Force planes dropped (lares at Tegel 1) near the Ger man capital, sending Berlin residents scurrying to alr-rald shelters for an hour and 40 minutes. Later Berlin sources claimed one of the British planes was shot down near Oldenburg (2). The R.A.P. pounded German coastal bases near Boulogne and fanned out through Germany. Nazi warplanes returned to widespread overnight raids against the British Isles and London authorities admitted that a German long-range gun has bombarded the English coast (3). Associated Press Photo. Debate Challenge Renewed by Willkie Rushville, Ind., Aug. 21 (U.R) Wendell L. Willkie charged today that the Roosevelt administration's defense Droo:ram was "hopelessly inadequate, ized," and cnaiiengea President Roosevelt to debate this subject at the scene of some great national defense work. The republican presidential nom inee renewed the challenge for Joint aeoace despite Mr. Kooseveits Hyae Park, N. Y,, press conference state ment yesterday that his position as president and the pressure of do mestlc and foreign events precluded an active campaign which would result from acceptance of Willkie's challenge. Willkie said the third term Is sue and the challenge of the totali tarian forces to the democratic processes made It essential that Mr. Roosevelt engage in public discus- more conspicuous form of action. An attempt at Invasion seems a fading nazl dream unless Hitler has lost all self-control. Renewal of the air attacks on Britain with largely augmented squadrons may come but by this time the German high command must be aware of the highly specula tive character of an air blitzkrieg. The halt in intensification Is signi ficant of the exhausting nature of blitzkriegs when the defense is as powerful as British aviators have made it. Germany's military blitzkrieg through Belgium and northern France had reached temporary ex haustion when the Belgian army surrendered, preventing the Ger mans from quickly following through to cut off the British from the Dunkerque retreat. Similarly In the air It seems apparent that continu ous blitzkrieglng Is impossible. A second mass air attack on Bri tain, therefore, would have to be limited, as was the first; and a succession of intermissions not only causes any attacking force to dis trust Its competence but also allows the defense to become refreshed. Long halts are particularly discon certing for Germans whose military training especially emphasizes con tinuous action once a major offen sive begins, until the objective Is gained.

Producer's Co-op Starts Prune Drying Some new prune history was written today when the Producers Co-operative started up Its large drier and started drying prunes, the earliest prune drying known In the annals of the Industry here.

This is. caused by the extremely small crop, the major portion of which Is going to the canneries for a cannery pack. Manager woods of the Producers Co-operative states that the drying which will be done by the organiza tion will all be of large prunes. There Is no carryover of Oregon 40's and as a result, with the small amount to be dried, It is ex pected what are dried will bring a premium, although such a premium can only be secured on a limited amount. Prune canning will get under way to a small extent this week but It is expected the main pack will be held off for a start until next week.
