Machinists
In Shipyards
Ordered Back
(B, the Associated Press)
Resumption of full-speed produc
tion on (500,000,000 worth of defense
ship building In the San Francisco
bay area depended today on the re
sponse of striking AFL machinists
to telegraphed instructions from
their International executive council
In Washington to go back to their
jobs In 11 shipyards.
Possibility that the machinists
might go to work Monday was voiced
by Harry Hook, San Francisco busi
ness agent, who set a meeting Sun
day to consider the council action.
He said a "full and democratic dis
cussion" would be held, followed by
a secret ballot .
Action on this biggest obstacle so
far Interposed to the all-out ship
construction effort came last night

Old Bunco Game
Backfires on Slickers
Tacoma, June 13 (JP) The famous old bunco game of
"find the pocketbook" backfired here yesterday just as the
"ante was raised to $300,000
oner, alias John Nome, is being neio "
In the city Jail under a ball of
150,000,
Tacoma Police Chief Einer Lang
seth said this morning he had re
ceived a telegram from Boston,
Mass., police officials to hold von
Wagoner for them "at substantial
ball."
The prisoner, said Chief Landseth
this morning, was identified by fin
gerprints as the man wanted in Bos
ton on two swindling and two con
spiracy charges, involving $31,000.
Von Wagoner was arrested yes
terday on complaint of Oades J.
Kenyon, Santa Barbara building
contractor, according to Detective
Captain William Farrar. Kenyon
told police von Wagoner headed a
group that tried to swindle him by
using the ancient bunco game of
"horseraclng" and "find the pocket
book." Police are looking for two of von
Wagoner's companions, known as
Joseph Stewart, a fictitious racing
commissioner, and a "Mr. Patter
son," presented as an agent of J. J.
Raskob, who planned to build a
Spanish- villa.
Police said Kenyon had been in
duced to come to Tacoma for dis
cussion of a contract to build the
villa at Pebble Beach, Calif. He be
came suspicious, however, when von
Wagoner and Patterson found cause
to delay discussion and turned to the
subject of "horse racing."
Kenyon said he had been allowed
to find a pocketbook with $W0 In It
and papers identifying Stewart as
a racing commissioner. While Ken
yon looked on, Stewart sent von
Wagoner out with $675 to wager on
a horse race and the return was $2,
000. Next Stewart wagered a $100,
000 letter of credit and von Wago
ner came back with a $300,000 bank
draft, explaining the "cash was too
heavy to carry."
The race bookmaker then said he
would have to have either proof of
the authenticity of the letter of
credit or $100,000 in cash before he
could honor his own draft of $300,
000. The other two men persuaded
Kenyon to produce the cash.
Kenyon assured them they could
have the money in the morning, saw
them to bed, and called police.

PresidenfWarns
Labor Unions to
Stop Raiding
Washington, June 13 (U,F0 Presi
dent Roosevelt today warned labor
organizations to stop raiding each
other for, membership and notified
government agencies to watch such
jurisdictional strife.
Mr. Roosevelt's action coincided
with authoritative disclosure that
President Philip Murray of the
Congress of Industrial Organlra
tlons planned to match the adminis
tration's campaign against subvers
lve labor agitators with a "purge1
of CIO left-wingers who foment
"outlaw" strikes.
Mr. Roosevelt acted upon receipt
of a telegram from President Dan
iel Tobln of the AFL's International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauf
feurs, Warehousemen and Helpers.
Tobln, from Indianapolis, charged
that because of his union's unequlv
ocable support of Mr. Roosevelt in
the national emergency, Bundists,
Stallnltes, Trotzkyites and "other
subversive organizations" are seek
ing to destroy his organization.
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early said that Mr. Roosevelt was
vitally Interested in the develop
ments.
Strike Seizure
Bill Amended
In the House
Washington, June 13 (IP) The
house military committee approved
proposals today which would per
mit the president to take over strike'
bound defense plants whose man'
agementa refused to utilize federal
conciliation or mediation services,
They also would permit use of
troops to prevent unlawful picket'
lne.
Drastic changes proposed by
Representative Harness (R-Ind.) to
the plant seizure bill approved by
the senate yesterday were accepted
but final action was deferred until
Monday, when further amendments
also will be considered.
The amendments approved dlf'
fered' substantially" from the bill
passed by the senate yesterday, In
that they contain no authority for
the president to take over defense
plants merely because the workers
fall or refuse to abide by recom
mendations of the mediation board,
Members conceded, however, the
Harness amendment permitting the
president to use the nation's armed
forces to "afford protection" to all
workers who voluntarily return to
work after the chief executive or
ders production at the plants re
sumed would virtually allow the
government to take physical posses
sion of such plants. They empha
sized, however, that the Harness
amendment would not permit the
government to assume the manage
ment of the plants.
Tn the case of emnlovers who re,
fuse to utilize government concilia
tion and mediation facilities, the
committee recommended that such
refusal be construed as a refusal
to cooperate with the government
in the production of defense ma'
terlals, and, therefore, under sec
tlon D of the draft law, their plants
could be taken over and operated
by the government. Such employers
would be subject to Imprisonment
for three years and fines of not
more than $50,000.

For Hard Spanking
Kalamath Falls, June 18 () A
13-year-old girl who was spanked
for quarreling with her 11-year-old
brother was blamed by a coroner's
Jury here today for the fatal shoot
ing of her father at Canby, Calif.,
Tuesday night.
The father, Ray Harpham, 38,
Southern Pacific railroad telegra
pher, was shot through the neck
with a .45 calibre pistol. He was tak
en first to Alturas, Calif., and then
brought here where he died yester
day. The children's stepmother, Mrs.
Edna Harpham. testified at the in
quest that her husband had severe
ly spanked his daughter, Ramona,
for quarreling in the night with
her brother, Ray, and was return
ing to the children's room to quiet
further disturbance when he was
met at the door by a blast from
the pistol.
The girl is In custody at Al
turas. Landing In the rough, a golfer In
East London, South Africa, found a
new 22-carat gold wedding ring be
side his ball and Is now trying to

Something
Between Hitler, USSR
(This dftllr ftiturt, eonductd by DeWltt UacKenzle, Capital Journal war analrat.

A review of half-obscured news over the cast month and
a half makes it pretty clear
amiss between Soviet Russia
viic ropuria ui ucramn aemanas on
the Kremlin, backed bv military
pressure. But, while these demands
may be military as well as political
and economic, it would be rash right
now to predict anything more than
reluctant Soviet acquiescence In
some of them and evasion, if possi
ble, of others.
The British, who have made some
very bad mistakes about Russia in
the past, are going into the present
situation very thoroughly. Sir Staf
ford Crlpps, their ambassador to
Moscow, has come home to report
and there is a highly authoritative
hint designed probably for Russian
papers to copy, that he may not go
back.

Realtors Told
Of Defense
Housing Plan
Operation of the federal housing
act, with certain modifications In
effect, is expected to be continued
after July 1, although under the
original act, it was expected to be
brought to a halt at that time, in
the opinion of Joseph Nance, public
relations act for FHA, with head
quarters In Portland. Nance ap
peared before the Salem Realty
board Friday noon and told of le
glslaiton concerning federal hous
ing which is now before congress
Should the legislation fall of adop
tion, federal housing will be discon
tinued after Sept. 1.
Nance sketched briefly the provi
sions of the defense housing pro
gram, which is In effect in Oregon
in Portland and Pendleton. Under
the department of federal housing,
permission has been given to loan
contractors up to 90 per cent of
the assessed value of the completed
building. However, he added, It
must be established that there is a
real need for construction and that
the need will not be temporary in
nature.
Under the FHA approximately
$50,000,000 has been expended In
Oregon In the construction and re
modeling of dwellings, Nance said.
Senator Charles McNary wired
the realtors that the President does
not contemplate expansion of the
air base program In the near fu
ture. The telegram was In response
to one sent the senator by the real
tors concerning the possibility of
establishing a base here.
The realty board will take a va
cation from Its weekly luncheons
during July and August. t

that something new has gone
and Germany, and it supports
i 50n t0 believe that Soviet economic
help to the Reich has been very slim
and Is not picking up.
A few days after Stalin became
premier of Russia and thus accept
ed responsibility to the Russians for
the way his policies are carried out,
the Soviet union re-established dip
lomatic, trade and consular rela
tions with Iraq. At that time the
Iraqis, led by the Rashld All Al Gal
lant and backed by German prom
ises and a few German planes, were
fighting a war with Britain.
No Help for Iraqis
Almost at once there was a lot of
talk about the Russians sending into
Iraq what were, as in the Spanish
war, cynically called volunteers. The
Iraq radio reports, tunneled through
Germany, gave off a great air of
confidence in speedy Soviet aid,
and it looked as if Hitler, too, ex
pected it.
However, so far as anyone has
been able to find out, the U.S.S.R.
did absolutely nothing to help the
Iraqis to prolong the turmoil In
Iraq, and the British cleaned It up.
All this time Hitler, In seeking to
cement conquered Europe into the
solid political bloc which he deems
essential for ultimate victory, was
pulling France Into active collabor
ation and had, Indeed, obtained the
use of Syrian airdromes for opera
tions against the British In Iraq. At
length he told the French that he
and Stalin had reached' an agree
ment whereby the Russian Ukraine,
In the new order of things, was to
serve as a breadbasket for all the
hungry, beaten folks of the Euro
pean continent.
French Put Story Out
This looked pretty good to the
French and they put the story out.
wnat they either overlooked or Ig
nored was a highly significant Sov
iet agricultural report of May 23
which showed that spring sowings
in soviet Russia were some 60,000,
000 acres behind 1940 and therefore
that the Ukraine breadbasket, this
year anyway, was going to be pretty
light.
It is a pretty good bet that Ger
many did not overlook It. Therefore
there Is at least logic behind the re
port that Hitler is now demanding
a lease on the Ukraine, so he can
raise the wheat he needs himself.
The alternative may be the threat
of Invasion.
Power Cooperation
Urged by Bean
Portland, Ore., June 13 VPj A
plan of cooperation between public
and private power companies In the
Pacific northwest was urged yester
day by Ormond R. Bean, Oregon
public utilities commissioner.
"Our observance and study of the
power situation in Oregon and the
northwest leads us to believe that
the key to the situation Is a sue
cessfully worked-out plan of co
operation between public and pri
vate power systems with the neces'
sary interconnections and exchange
of power," Bean said.
"Today's conference seems to em
phaslze this need."
His statement was made at i
federal power commission confer
ence here, attended by represents'
Lives of all public and private power
systems in five northwestern states.
Leland Olds, chairman of the fed

The meeting was one of six being

bathing, sleeping on the sands,
can lead to exquLslte misery and
lo serious illness.
Much of this discomfort can be
avoided. People who burn easily
should consult a physician at the
first signs of discomfort. Allevia
tion Is possible, nnd protection
from serious results Is absolutely
essential.
The treatment of sunburn re

best Ingredients. Follow the doc
