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

calls for hop pickers, bean pickers,
prune pickers and tree shakers
combined have been received at the
Albany office of the re-employment
bureau, it was reported here yes

mand for farm hands from farmers
in this locality, but thus far the
needs have been filled almost en
tirely by young men from the mid

to Edwards that the youths are ex
cellent employes, he added, and said
that It Is difficult to get local men

Smith Protests
Fees for Fighting
Rural Fires
An ordinance bill recently enacted
by the city council, providing for
a fee to be paid the city by property
owners outside the city to whose
premises the fire department Is
called In event of fire, la bringing
quite numerous protests. 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. Mr. and Mrs. Or-
val Stoutenburg are in full charge
of the melon crop on this farm
from the time the plants are taken
from the greenhouse until the mel

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. And
incidentally the total amount of
prune drying to be done this year
over the state will be the smallest
In the history of the industry, at
least since it became an Industry of
magnitude. 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.
