Turkey wants peace, said an edi torial in Yenl Sabah, but a bitter struggle Is preferred to "peace gain ed dishonorably." The editorial criticized an editor ial In the Sofia newspaper Mir which reportedly suggested that Ger man victory Is Inevitable and urged that small nations capitulate with out resistance. "Mir suggests such a common, humble low course that It dishonors the Bulgarian pride and patriotism we have learned to know," Yenl Sabah continued. "There Is no Turk who would not agree with Hit ler that people who do not defend their country's Independence with all vigor should be looked down upon. If Germany comes south she may find Bulgaria bowed before her, but when she arrives at the Turkish frontier she will meet her match, which is the reason she probably will not come here." An editorial written for the news paper Tan by Sadru Ertem, a de puty In the national assembly, stated: "Germany has become Russia's greatest enemy. The tripartite pact aims openly at substituting the las- cist world order for the Soviet world revolution as a world ideo logy." 2 Army Fliers Feared Crashed Oakland, Calif., Oct. 21 (Pi The army asked the coast guard today to dispatch boats to Monterey bay for a search of the waters, on the chance that a missing army plane crashed into the sea. A search by air and land for the plane and two army reserve offi cers who disappeared Saturday had been fruitless. Those missing were Lieut. Volney R. Stiles and Lieut. Natham H. Samuels. They left Oakland Saturday morning on a routine training flight to Monterey. Verl Howe reported today he saw a plane of the same type circle the capitol airport between 10:10 and 10:30 a.m. Saturday. It then headed over Monterey bay toward the city of Monterey. Shortly be fore, the ranger in the tower near Los Gatos reported sighting a sim ilar ship. The plane carrying the two lieutenants should have been on a schedule coinciding with the time given by the two observers. The swift, low-wing monoplane should have required less than 40 minutes for the Oakland-Monterey flight. It carried radio equipment. Twenty-five pursuit and observa tion planes left Hamilton field to day to Join In the search.

The attorney, T. D. Cosgrove, urged the tribunal to reverse the conviction of the Times on a charge of contempt growing out of editorial comment on two labor cases and a woman politician. The conviction, Cosgrove asserted, violated the right of freedom of the press. He spoke after Allen W. Ashburn, Los Angeles attorney, had contend ed for the state that the right of freedom of the press was not "ab solute" but was limited by "the con ception of Independent courts." The Times' case was argued after Ashburn had urged the court in a separate case to uphold the con viction of Harry Bridges, west coast labor leader on a charge of con tempt of court. Ashburn asserted that the state had the right to determine what constitutes contempt and this is "not subject to federal control." Bridges' conviction resulted from the sending to Secretary of Labor Perkins ot a telegram, subsequently published, which criticized a deci sion by the Los Angeles superior court Arguments were begun Fri day. 614,000 Register For Oregon Vote An all-time record total of about 614,000 persons will be eligible to vote In Oregon's general election, compared with 638,100 in the pri mary last May and 657,811 In the 1938 general election.

Continuation of Hambro Speaks from pase 1 Success of the League of Nations in reducing the narcotic evil and commercial vice, with establishment of health departments to stamp out vast epidemics is due to the fact that such experts in their respec tive lines were Important chairmen of committees. Serum was stand ardlzed throughout the world and even accepted by Germany after its withdrawal from the league. Problems faced by a peace con ference are more economic than ra cial, he Indicated, with mistakes of distribution along racial and popu lation lines falling in the past be cause coal was placed in one state, factories in another and the fact that agriculturists and industrialists were unable to get their products to natural markets. The speaker used the word "state" in reference to various countries or nations. Com mercial, economic and financial con ditions should all be considered, he said. Following the meeting Hambro met informally with state, county and city politicians and greeted per sonally as many of his great audi ence as could get into the reception rooms at the Chamber of Commerce. A reception with the Sons of Nor way in charge will be held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms from 6:30 to 7:30 o'clock tonight to en able as many people of Norwegian descent to meet him as possible.

Oct. 21 (IP) Germany lost approximately 67,000 men in the battle of Norway, - Including both land and sea actions, Carl Hambro, exiled president of the Norwegian parliament, said in a speech here last night. "Thousands more were wounded," he added, Indicating that Norwe gians gave strong resistance In sec tions. "Resistance would have been greater, but for the Gorman trick of taking over the Oslo radio and announcing in Norwegian that the call for mobilization was a mis take," he declared. "The nazis ob tained control of all mobilization centers." Germany has "failed utterly" to establish a legal government in Norway, Hambro said, and "Nor wegians at home are living In a state of revolution. loyal to the king, now operating the official government from headquarters In London."

Farley was represented by friends today as believing the November 5 presi dential election would be the clos est in years and, that President Roosevelt would prooabiy win Dy a slim margin. The master-manager of the 1932 and 1936 campaign believes 1,000,000 votes in big, battleground states are likely to make the difference between the winner and loser. Farley hit the 1936 election bulls eve with a prediction that Mr, Roosevelt would lose only Maine and Vermont. But that was Btrlct ly a beef-steak dinner and party headquarters pool estimate. Farley's private Judgment expressed on the day he chose Maine and Vermont In the Blltmore hotel pool was that Alf. M. Landon, republican candi date, would get a few more states than that. His political Judgment Is rated tops and new deal campaigners are wishing Farley would come out in the open with a Roosevelt election prediction even though he rejects all bids to make a Roosevelt-Wallace speech. - But Farley will refuse to speak in Oils campaign. He still main tains his opposition to a third term cldldacy. It is expected, how ever, that Farley's dislike of a third term will not presuade him to bolt this year and that he will vote the ticket straight on Novem ber 6. Mrs. C. D.
