Ten
Consul Sends
Warnings to
Britons in Orient
Tokyo, Jan. 31 VP) A BrltUh con
aular official's advice to certain
British residents to leave Japan
"before the Impending crisis In American-Japanese
relations comes to
a head" was disclosed by reliable In
formants today.
Wilfred W. McVlttle, acting con
sul general in Yokohama, was said
to have sent a letter of warning to
a selected list of about 30 Britons
In his district. Why these were
selected was not explained. It was
said that Britons In Tokyo and
other cities received no such let
ters. The informants said McVlttle's
letter read as follows:
"British subjects who have no Im
portant reason to remain in Japan
are advised to leave by the regular
shipping routes before the Impending
crisis in American-Japanese rela
tions comes to a head.
"Should war be declared it is
probable that:
"1. Sailings of ships of all nation
alities will be cancelled.
"2. Hurried evacuation will not
be possible.
"3. British subjects will not be
free to use their money or property.
"4. They will not be able to com
municate with their consuls and
some may be Interned.
"5. A neutral government will
then endeavor to arrange for their
evacuation and the payment of liv
ing allowances if Japanese authori
ties permit."
United states residents In Japan
were advised by the Washington
state department last October to
leave Japan, China and other orlcn
tal territories. Several hundred al
ready have left Japan. No new ad-
vice has been Issued to Americans
recently.
Church Observes
6th Anniversary
The Englewood church of the
United Brethren In Christ, nth and
Nebraska avenue, will celebrate the
sixth anniversary of the completion
of the present church building Frl-
' day night. There will be a no-host
dinner at 0:30 which will be follow
ed by a special program befitting
the occasion. Bishop Ura D. War
ner, of the Pacific area of the Unit
ed Brethren denomination will be
present. He will be accompanied by
Ira Hawley, superintendent of the
Oregon conference. Rev. R. C
Mann, former pastor and others
are expected to take part In the
program. . Several committees are
working hard to make the event
outstanding in the history of the
church.
The Englewood church was found
ed In the 400 block on Marion street'
In 1908 with 38 members. Later It
was moved to the present location
and named Castle chapel In mem
ory of Bishop Castle. In 1835 the
building which now houses the con
gregatlon was constructed and
named Englewood United Brethren
after the community.
All members and friends are cor
dially invited to attend the eve
nlng's program.
Corruption in
Democracies Hit
Pittsburgh, Jan. 31 (P) Dr. Ralph
C. Hutchison, president of Wash
lngton and Jefferson college, be
lieves Adolf Hitler Is right In
"preaching to the world about cor
ruption in democracies, because our
individualism has gotten out of
bounds, has gone to seed and is
unsanctifled and unregenerated."
"We need no argument that de
mocracy seems to develop corrup
tion," he told a group of Presby
terian pastors, "Our courts are
filled with the trials of corrupt of
ficials. In this state alone In the
past 10 years corruption has become
a by-word."
As a remedy, he said, "we Just
need to waken ourselves up to the
fact that we face In this country
and individualism which has grown
out of Christianity and now goes
to seed In widespread corruption.
More needs to be said in the name
of decency and righteousness." He
added:
"It is no wonder we are confused
when we have a depraved maniac
telling us what we need to be told
and proving it. It's gotten so
confusing today that we have the
pagan society of the totalitarian
countries advocating a return to
work at longer hours if necessary,
which is a fundamental principle of
the Christian philosophy, while we
advocate more laziness."

Homer Holcomb
Fractures Leg
Denver, Jan. 21 VP) Most of the
cow-waddles were strung out along
the home trail today, but one of
the performers who kept National
Western Stock show crowds In an
uproar all last week wusn't among
them.
Homer Holcomb of Hayward,
Calif., whose funny antics relieved
some of the tense moments In the
arena, was in a Denver hospital
with a fractured leg, the victim of
a rampaging Brahma steer.
It's part of his Job as rodeo clown
to distract the attention of the giant
steers until their riders can reach
safety. But at Saturday night's clos
ing performance he couldn't avoid
the animal which had been ridden
by Charles Colbert of Byers, Texas,
and the steer trampled him.

show rodeo went to Dene Prultt, Ya

McMahan Comments
On Judicial Bills
Disapproval of an additional judge for this judicial dis
trict is expressed in a statement issued by Circuit Judge L. H.
McMahan, although he does express himself as favorable to a
transfer of Juvenile and probate
matters to the jurisdiction of the
circuit court.
In a formal statement he says:
Two proposed changea are under con
sideration. One Is to provide ' another
circuit Judge for this district, and. Inci
dentally, to make an extra lucrative of
fice for some lawyer. With about three
office holders In this atate to two that
re necessary. If more offices are created
It will be only a few years until the tax
payers will all be bankrupts.
One offered excuse for this proposed
hill Is that the dockets are congested.
This false statement was started months
ago to mislead the public so as to pave
the way for the creation of a new and
highly lucrative office.
Attorneys Blamed
About six months aso I set 32 cases for
trial. I held the Jury panel subject to
call for over six weeks and I tried Just
one case during that time. The day after
Armistice day I set many cases for trial
and I was able to get Just three rather
unimportant ones tried. This month I
dismissed 30 cases over a year on the
docket because the attorneys would not
try them. There has been no congested
docket; there Is none now.
Another proposition Is to place probate
and Juvenile work Into the circuit court,
make this county Into one district and
provide for another Judge to handle the
extra work thus added In the district. No
one Judge could do nil the work in thin
county even without the addition of
probate and Juvenile work added thereto.
This proposed law would be beneficial,
because It would afford protection to all
estates In probate and taice the Juvenile
work out of petty politics. The utter
absurdity of allowing estates to be

Reapportion
Bill Presented
A measure to reapportion the state
legislature on the basis of 66 2-3 per
cent by population and 33 1-3 by
area will be Introduced in the state
legislature, Sen. Lew Wallace (D.,
Multnomah), said last night.
Two other reapportionment meas
ures previously were drawn.
Multnomah county would retain
seven senators and 13 representa
tlves under Wallace's proposal. The
reapportionment plan of Rep. R. L.
Neuberger (D.. Multnomah), would
increase the Multnomah delegation
at the expense of up-state coun
ties. Another offered by Rep. E. W.
Kimberling (R., Grant), would not
change Multnomah's delegation but
would give each county at least one
representative.
All Oregon residents between 21
and 60 years who have lived 10
years in the state would pay one
per cent of their earnings to the
old age Insurance fund with a $15
annual maximum payment, under a
bill prepared by state Labor Com
missioner C. H. Gram. Such per
sons at 60 would be eligible for
pensions of $60 per month or more.

Stassen Favors
Creation of Joint
War Council
Washington, Jan. 21 W) Governoi
Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota sug
gested today the creation of a su
preme defense council composed ol
President Roosevelt and congress
ional leaders to exercise "the great
powers and authority" which the
lease-lend bill would delegate to the
president.
Asserting the most serious objec
tion to the measure arose from the
"unprecedented" delegation of leg
islative power to the chief executive
the republican governor said the
council idea would be a step toward
avoiding "internal controversy."
The proposal was submitted by
Stassen to the opening meeting ol
the council of state governments oi
which he is president.
"The great responsibility which
the executive bears for a successful
foreign policy and for the national
security," he said, "could well give
rise to the necessity for great lati
tude and authority for quick and
decisive action.
'It would, therefore, appear that
the device used In some states for
collaboration between the legislative
and executive branches of the gov
ernment might well be used In this
instance by the federal government."
Stassen said such a council, in
cluding both majority ana minority
leaders of the house and senate,
could "rapidly and effectively de
cide" any questions arising under the
plan for aid to Great Britain.
He declared presence of minority
leaders would be a "tremendous
force for national confidence and
unity."
Asserting that government of free
men and free women was being sub
jected to its greatest challenge since
the first blueprint was drawn at
Philadelphia, Stassen said the re
sponsibility of representatives of
state governments seemed clear.

West Salem P. B. Neely was re
lieved of his extra duties as city
marshal at a special meeting of the
city council last night. Inability to
qualify under provisions of the city
charter was the reason for the
change which gave the office to
Tony Ramlg, city traffic officer,
with no increase in pay.
The city charter requires that the
person named city marshal must
have been a resident of the city for
at least six months. The action of
the council does net in any manner
affect Neely In any other capacity
