Greece Renews
Aid Appeal
Washington, Feb. 21 (Pi The
Greek government, It was learned
today, has made a second urgent
appeal to the united States for
help particularly for warplanes
"before It Is too late."
The result has been to start de
fense officials on a fresh canvass
of available supplies In search ot
aircraft that can be spared to re.
inforce the Greeks In their struggle
with the Italians.
Greece's renewed plea for the as
sistance promised by President Roo
sevelt some time ago reached here
during the last several days. It
arrived Just before the signing this
week of the Turco-Bulgarlan non
aggresion pact which may alter the
Balkan status quo and exert a de
clsive effect on the military and
political future of Greece.
Cimon P. - Diamantopoulos, the
Greek minister, conferred with Un
dersecretary Welles yesterday, but
both refrained from statements on
their talk. It was reported, how.
ever, that they had discussed Greec-
e's situation In the light of the most
recent developments, Including the
Turco-Bulgarlan pact, and that the
question of speedy American aid had
been "mentioned."
The problem of finding planes for
Greece- Is admittedly beset with dif
ficulties, for aircraft factories al
ready are loaded with orders for the
army, navy, Britain and China. The
question, however, was understood
to be under study by the navy de
partment and the national defense
commission s priorities board.

American Aid
Sought for Use
Of Irish Ports
London, Feb. 31 WV-The British
government is seeking the Rid of the
United States and Canada to gain
the use of Irish porta on the
ground - that a German-dominated
Ireland would constitute a definite
threat to their interests in the At
lantic, an usually reliable source
said today.
This source asserted that despite
Prime Minister Eamon De Valera's
Insistence on absolute neutrality for
Ireland, there were almost "con
tinuous discussions" regarding Irish
ports which Britain says she needs
to counter German aerial and sub
marine attacks on her shipping.
It was said there was a movement
to get the United States and Can
ada to take a lead In these dis
cussions.
"The feeling here, this source
said, "It that Ireland Is a potential
enemy base In the Atlantic which is
Just as much a problem from a long
range viewpoint to the United States
and Canada as It Is immediately to
Britain."
It was reported that at the In
stance of Britain De Valera already
had been given an unofficial Ameri
can Intimation that there Is con
slderable sentiment In the United
States that If the British need Irish
bases they should have them.
To this was added a reputed
American view that Irelands neu
trallty actually leaned backward In
favor of Germany.
Wendell Willkle was said to have
given some hints of American
opinion during his conversations
with De Valera In Dublin February
4 and some sources expressed the
hope that the United States might
return Willkle or another as an of
ficial emissary to urge Ireland to
put Irish ports at British disposal.
Plan Trip up
North Santiam
County Commissioners Glrod and
Smith and County Engineer Hubbs
are scheduled to make a trip over
Junction Monday with Market Road
Engineer Cutler of the state high
way department and probably other
state highway officials to look over
the road.
The trip Is an offshoot of the of.
fer by Marlon and Linn county
courts to give the road to the state
for a secondary highway, the state
to take over Its maintenance and
future Improvement.
Examination will probably be fol
lowed by a report by the state high
way engineers to the commission on
the condition of the road and as to
Just what the state will be getting
if It accepts the offer.
While the commission Is mulling
over the offer of the county to give
It the North Santiam road, the
county court this morning In turn
accepted from the state the rem
nant of the old Pacific highway lm
mediately south of town which was
abandoned by the new Improvement
made there last year.
The highway commission sent a
letter and map to the county court
today along with a copy of a reso
lution It had passed abandoning
the pieces of roadway. The letter
advised that unless the county court
accepted these pieces of abandoned
highway for public use they would
revert to the property owners.
i The court, on motion of Commis
sioner Smith, voted to accept the
pieces of road which are used by
property owners in the vicinity.
Auto Crashes Into
Laden Farm Wagon
A spectacular traffic accident
that, miraculously, did not result in
serious Injuries to anyone, occurred
near the Big Chief service station
north of Salem about 0:30 oclock
this morning.
Edward Ira Piatt, route 1, Canby,
an employe in the state senate
chamber at the legislature, was
driving north. Ahead of him was
James Delbert Weathers, Salem
route 8, driving a team of two
horse hitched to a light vehicle on
which were loaded a plow, harrow
and other farm Implements. He
also was driving north.
Piatt's automobile crashed Into
the horse-drawn vehicle, badly
wrecking It, scattering the lmple
ments and Injuring Weathers to
some extent.
Weathers had a lighted lantern
on the rear of his vehicle, but wea.
ther was foggy, and Piatt said he
didn't see the light.

Bill to Place
Private Clubs'
Under Control
(Continued from page 1)
to some of the provisions of HB
450 which, among other things,
would require licensed barbers In
Oregon to be high school gradu
ates. These upstate barbers say they
were not consulted as to the pro
visions of the measure, backed by
the Portland union and championed
before the legislature by the secre
tary of that union In person, and
they object strenuously to the pro
posed Increase In the annual li
cense fee for employers to $3 and
the boosting of the license charge
for new shops to $10.
No Recess Likely
Efforts of a group of Portland
members to Induce the house to
recess for the week-end at the close
of today's business were apparently
blocked by Speaker Farrell's lnslst
ance that they remain In session
Saturday to clear the way for the
earliest sine die adjournment pos
sible. It will be the first Saturday
that the house has worked this ses
sion. Today Is the 40th day of the ses
slon and the last for which members
can draw $3 pay, although observers
predict that another IS days at
least will be required to clean the
calendars.
Favor Organization
Of Indian Youth-
Chemawa, Ore., Feb. 21 The unanimous decision of In
dian youth attending; the conference at Chemawa this week
was that a national organ'.zation of Indian youth should be
lormea, moaeiea somewnat aiier U!e
Future Farmers of America of their
white brothers. The report was sub
mitted today, signed by Loralne L.
Fry of the Colvllle tribe of Wash
ington, who was secretary of the
group.
At the same time resolutions of
the adult division, which included
government officials In the Indian
service, gave support to this ambi
tion of the youth. On the resolu
tions committee were Carl Stevens,
superintendent of Indian education
In the northwest, with headquarters
at Salem; George P. LaVatta, field
agent, Portland; I. R. Bowman, of
the Rocky Boy reservation of Mon
tana; Miss Wyona Florence, of the
Tongue River reservation of Mon
tana, and C. H. Lockett, of Wind
River reservation of Wyoming.
The youth committee expressed in
its report a desire that the national
youth organization be Jointly for
boys and girls, and Include Junior
high school students and members
beyond the high school level. This
form of organization they held de
sirable because It would give oppor
tunity for wider interest and greater
membership, develop more coopera
tion on the reservations and In the
Indian communities. In general the
plan Is development of character
and training for better citizenship,
and encouragement of the apprecia
tion of opportunities at home and
on the reservations. It would, said
the report, strengthen the confi
dence of the Indian youth In himself
and In his work and Improve rome
and surroundings.
The students among the visitors
numbered 16, representing 14 tribes.
Total attendance was about 68.
The resolutions committee men
tioned that recent surveys showed
that most Indian boys and girls re

after leaving school.

that "the new ration measures are
Inspired by the reality of facts."
"Heretofore, on paper, there have
been greater amounts (of fats)
which, however, could not be ob
tained because of the Insufficiency
of products," Gayda wrote. "The
government's policy is sincere and
serious and It does not want to
promise what it cannot really give."
At present Italians are allowed
only 38 ounces of fats oil, butter
and pork fats per person per

Lumberman
Raps US Policies
Seattle, Feb. 31 (P) Leaders of
the Western Retail Lumbermen's
association predicted 1,000 delegates
from the western states would be
asscmDied today for the second
day's session of the convention In
which governmental policies' Influ
ence on the building Industry Is a
dominant tneme.
"It Is most amazing." W. C. Bell,
managing director ot the associa
tion, told the gathering, "to see one
branch of the government the fed
eral housing administration spend
ing nuge sums or money to promote
home building, and see this same
program being constantly neutral
ized day by day through broad
statements generally discrediting
wie Duutung maustry and its pro
ducts. "Whether we like It or not, we are
being forced Into the position of
organizing a strong program ot de-
iense lor private building."
He said the Industry faced the
responsibility of telling "everv tarn.
ily In America it is easier for them
to own their own home today than
at the beginning of the century."
Counseling that the national de
fense program would bring further
regulation and restriction, Bell cau
tioned:
. "It Is our duty as patriotic Amer
icans to accede to these emergency
measures as they are needed, but
we must stand guard against those
tendencies that may destroy the
very things we have set out to de-
fend our homes and individual
freedom."

Eley Discusses
10 Year Plan
Development and beautiflcatlon of
the river front and Mill creek and
the acquisition of additional parks
and their betterment have struck a
more popular chord among the res
idents of the city than any other
portion of a so-called "10 year plan."
Frederick Eley, Salem architect,
chairman of the civic committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, passed
this Information along to the Salem
Realty board during Its luncheon
Friday. Eley said the development
of river frontage should play an im
portant part In any long term plan.
Eley warned that unless concerted
effort Is made by owners of busi
ness property In the district lying
between High and Commercial and
Ferry and Center, to modernize their
holdings, there Is danger ot two
districts being established. He point
ed out that In few instances have
streets with business houses on one
side alone really been important. He
said High street would not develop
because of the county property to
the east. Eley said, In his opinion,
the real civic center begins Immedi
ately east of the postoffice and ex
tends through the capltol grounds.
He made the suggestions that a
courthouse with business houses on
the lower floor might remedy the
situation.
The speaker declared that his
of the city working together on a
committee hoped to get all groups
coordinated plan which would be for
the common good of the entire com
munity. Legionnaires Urged
