Newspaper Page TextTen Slocks Drift Irregularly In Light Trading New York, Oct. 31 (U.B Stocks drifted irregularly lower today in the quietest trading In several weeks. Prices held in a narrow range after a slight easing in early dealings. The American Iron it Steel In stltutt reported this week's steel activity at a record nign on a ion nage basis. The news had only minor effect on steel stocks, having been large, ly discounted. Similarly, automobile shares show ed little response to a Detroit re port predicting that production this month and next may set new re cord highs because of huge Back logs. Most leading stocks registered mi nor declines. Most Issues were dull, Nash featured motors in volume and made a slight advance in con trast with losses in the leaders General Motors and Chrysler. New York shipbuilding and In ternational Mercantile Marine were active and firm. Douglas Aircraft gained more than a point. Air Line issues were narrowly mixed. Warm Weather Costly for Turkeys Albany, Oct. 21 (P) Warm Octo ber weather Is costing turkey grow ers money, they said today. Birds otherwise in prime condi tion have not sprouted ptnfeathers, a defense against cold weather. Consequently many turkeys going to market in the near future must be nraded down. Killing will start In four Albany plants late next week. County Agent F. C. Mullen estimated the Linn county production at 200,000 birds, approximately 6 per cent be low last year's level.

Carload mostly, The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Milk Control Board Makes Statement A formal statement has been Is sued by the milk control board through C. E. Grelle, chairman, of Portland, relative to Us new pooling order for the Salem area board, says the statement, having seen "fit to approve the compromise pro posals submitted to it by the dif ferent groups of dairymen. The statement goes on to say: "For years the Salem market has been the scene of bitter differences within the industry leading to num erous law suits and counter suits, which, at times, have occupied the attention of the public and kept the Industry in a turmoil. "Last spring It appeared that a compromise of differences was pos sible. The board encouraged the dairymen to work out their own problems and it agreed to approve any reasonable proposals the in dustry could make within Itself, provided such proposals compiled with the provisions of the Oregon milk control act. Finajly, after sev eral months of negotiations, the problem has been worked out to the general satisfaction of both the board and the Industry, "The board is putting a new pool ing order into effect in the Salem market effective as of October 1, and with the present attitude of cooperation prevailing in the in dustry, the consuming public, well as the Industry, are, for the first time, In a position to realize the full benefits to be derived from the Oregon milk control law on the Salem market." Recover Loot in Burglars' Cache Pour typewriters stolen from the Dundee schoolhouse, three electric toasters and a radio taken from the Hazel Green school and other art icles taken in schoolhouse burglaries were recovered by Marion county officers Sunday in a cache near Six Corners north of Newberg. Guiding the officers to the cache was Ken neth Hatfield, who admitted to be ing an accomplice of Charles Russell Street in the burglaries. Hatfield, 22, was arrested by Chief of Police Omar Halvorsen of Silver- ton Saturday night. In justice court here today he waived preliminary hearing and was held to the grand jury. He failed to make bail of $1000 and is held in jail. The same dispo sition was made of Street's case fol lowing his arrest last at Vancouver, Wash., last Thursday while he was trying to sell one of the radios. Street, who is 43, was arraigned in justice court Friday. HulHnff Resumed Frank Island After suspension for almost a month because of damp weather, clover-hulling In this locality was resumed Friday.

Smash in Near East Likely to Be Delayed Br DeWitt MuKensie (Auoclat.d Preta Stall Wrlt.r) Fuehrer Hitler has been moving mighty fast in swinging the Balkans into line with the idea of attacking Britain by means of a drive through the near east, but it strikes me there's no certainty that he has moved fast enough to permit ot full offensive before next spring. The nazl chieftain's week-end po litlco-economlc accord with Yugo slavia further consolidates the posi tion which the Berlin-Rome axis Is creating for the big smash. With Rumania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia now apparently safely in the sack, the potential battle-line of the dic tators is right up against the fron tiers of Greece and Turkey. But there comes the hitch. These pro-Brlttsh, Turko-Oreek allies are the hold-outs the badlands of the Balkans who, possibly with the encouragement of Russia, stand be tween the axis and Its near east ern ambition. Unless they change Strong Navy Urged by Knox Washington, Oct. 21 (P) The United States fleet was reminded today of Its responsibility as the nation's "first line of defense against attack," and told that the newly concluded Rome-Berlin-Tokyo pact was directed at this country. Navy Secretary Knox, In his mes sage to bluejackets and officers for Navy day, October 27, urged that the fleet be kept "strong, efficient and ready" In "this serious time in our nation's history." "The outspoken aim of the mili tary alliance recently formed by Ger many, Italy and Japan is the appli cation of pressure on all nations not now at war, Including our own na tion," said Knox in the message released yesterday. "In Europe, Asia and Africa wars are being fought for world domina tion. Those wars are prosecuted to destroy democracy and the free processes of trade and culture ..." This year, as last year, no general Navy day visiting of fleet units or bases will be permitted "in the in terest of national security." Clark to Pursue Aviation Course Corporal William B. Clark of Turner, has been selected to pursue an airplane mechanics course at the California Flyers school, municipal airport, Los Angeles, according to an announcement by the command ing general of Hamilton Field, Calif. The course of instruction Corporal Clark is to undertake will qualify him as Junior airplane mechanic and will be a boost toward higher rank and pay In his military career. He has been for some time on duty with the 18th pursuit squadron at Hamilton field as an apprentice air mechanic. Clark, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Clark of Turner, Is graduate of Salem high school with the class of 1937. He enlisted in the air corps at Vancouver bar racks, Wash, in January, 1040, and has been at the west coast air base since August 11, having trans ferred from Moffett Field on that date. The fact that Corporal Clark has attained the rank of non-commissioned officer In less than a years service indicates a high de gree of ability and industry," com ments army authorities.

The fall rains will be coming any time now forerun ners of a fierce winter and these will turn the roads and country sides into a well-nigh hopeless mess of gumbo and I mean deep, greasy mud. I've motored in all those countries after the autumn storms had be gun, and have no doubt that It would be making a heavy gamble to inaugurate big military operations in this sea of mud.

In the following letter, how ever, the Intended housewarmlng is actually a shower: "My sister and her husband moved into a new house,. and I would like to have a surprise housewarmlng for them. May I ask their friends and suggest that each donate some money so we can buy something for the new house?1 The answer therefore is the same as that for a shower. In other words, one cannot possibly ask people to a party given for a member of one's own family to which there is ad mlttance fee of any sort. If some of the guests themselves club to gether to buy a present, that would have nothing to do with your plan. But the idea of taking up a collec tion, or any other plan for present- giving, started by you, would be in very bad taste.

We trust the young people all right, but we don't exactly trust what other people may say that would reflect on their good reputations. Would I be taking any chance about this it I let her go? Answer: According to present day propriety, it is permissible for a young man and a young woman to go on an over-night train trip, in an open pullman or tourists sleeping car, because all the people In the car serve as chaperons.
