Twelve The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregdrt M6nday,July21, 1941 300 Consular icials and Families Move Washington, July 21 (P) More than 300 American consular officials and employes and their families ordered out of axis-dominated Eu rope when axis officials were ex pelled from the United States moved today toward Lisbon .Portu gal, from where they will sail for New York on Friday aboard the navy transport West Point. The largest unit, totalling 234, comprising those expelled from Ger many, Norway, occupied Prance, the Netherlands, Belgium and Yugosla via, was reported concentrating at Frankfort, Germany. This group will cross the French border into Spain at Hcndaye and go on to Lisbon by special train. While reports of the concentration at Frankfort comprised the latest information available here, an em bassy in Berlin said last night that the group left Frankfort yesterday by special train bound for Lisbon. After some delay at San Remo, Italy, a smaller group composed of 76 legation and consular officials lrotn Greece and consular officers from Italy, was reported en route across France, headed for Lisbon via Barcelona and Madrid. Both parties have been expected to enter Portugal at the same time the West Point arrives in Portu guese waters. With the German group were sev eral Americans who had been held prisoner by the nazls but were re leased as a result of negotiations by the state department involving the release of some German nationals who had been held in this country. Among the Americans were Jay Allen', correspondent of the North American Newspaper Alliance, who wan captured when attempting to cross the border between unoccupied and occupied France without a Ger man permit, and Richard Hottclet, United Press correspondent In Ber lin, who has been held In prison for four months. Berlin Reports May Cover Predicament By DeWitt MncKcnzie (Capital Journal War Analyst) The Germans declare that their primary objective in the Russian war is the destruction of the red army rather than the capture of famous cities a statement which may serve as a measure oi excuse lor me way the Muscovites have been holding the Invaders off, but undoubtedly sums the position up accurately. We may take this Berlin assertion as a fact because It is so clearly log ical that It brooks no dispute. Unless Hitler Is able to shatter the entire Soviet fighting machine thereby enforcing a quick cessation of Its resistance his capture of Moscow or Leningrad or Kiev will represent not victory but defeat. This is true because, as I have pointed out before, a quick and de cisive victory is essential for Hitler's purposes. A major war of long du ration with Russia must break the reich In the end. Batle in Fifth Week It therefore is with a quickening of the pulse that we see this titanic struggle entering Its fiftli week with out a decisive victory having been 'recorded. The nazis clnim to be ad vancing all along the line; the Rus sians say they are holding the en emya contradiction which means that the great front Is heaving with the fierceness of the batllc but that to far has been disclosed no mortal blow has been struck by either army. True, the nazis keep saying that the red forces are on the point of dissolution, but we have been read ing that for almost three weeks and the bolshevlsts still continue their remarkable resistance against su perior strength.

In 1041 the district valuation was $730,800 with a mill levy of 6.4 in comparison to a valuation in 1940 of $461,350 with a 9.1 mill levy. The district has In the bank an unex pended balance of $2557.43 from last year's budget, even though in the spring the manner of paying the teaching staff was changed back to a nine months' basis and the teach ers were paid at the close of the term In full for the summer months. The district is free of Indebtedness with the exception of an unpaid bal ance of $2000 on the gymnasium built In 1939. A year ago the direct ors attempted to retire the bonds but the holders refused to accept payment before the full maturity period. A check of the financial condition of the district over a period of years revealed that in 1932 the district was in financial distress and that in 1933 an all time high of a 21 mill levy was reached. Prom that time the district began to pay off delln quent Indebtedness and to take up the bonds on the lower grade build ing (finally retiring them In 1939) as well as bringing the school sys tern and building facilities up to standard.

La Paz, Bolivia, July 21 (JP A number of prominent Bolivians. In cluding Former Finance Minister Victor Paz Estenssoro, were under arrest today in connection with an alleged Nazi plot which police said had been smashed by the timely ac tion of President Enrique Penaran- da, advocate of close cooperation with the United States. Ernst Wendler, German minister. was ordered expelled from the country. President Penaranda said he had documentary proof that the minister had attempted to meddle in Bolivia's domestic affairs. Essenesoro, a member of the cham ber of deputies, and cabinet member until June 20 when he resigned in a disagreement over the exchange rate of the peso and dollar, was described by police as head of "the nationalist revolutionary movement." That organization was disolved au tomatically with proclamation of a state of siege. The country still was under a stage of siege, but the capital and provinces were reported quiet. De fense Minister Gen. Migul Candia arrived at Cochabamba, a farm center where a large German set tlement is situated, to lead further investigations there. Four newspapers, two of which were mentioned in Washington's Axis blacklist, were suspended by the government, and three newspaper men' were among those arrested. Commenting on the action against Wendler, the president declared in an interview that the government "could not adopt such serious mea sures without being fully convinced that its attitde was based on jus tice."

July 21 (At torney Guy Cordon of Roseburg, le gal adviser for the Association of Oregon counties, announced Satur day his intention of becoming a candidate next year for the office of congressman from the newly-created fourth congressional district of Oregon. Mr, Cordon returned Thurs day from two months spent at Washington, D. C, where he has been assisting in preparing legisla tion desired by Oregon counties In connection with federal payments in lieu of taxes on federally con trolled lands. "I feel," Cordon said, "that my long period of experience in dealing with the federal government in mat ters pertaining to public lands can be a make of service to the state of Oregon. During many trips to Washington I have had occasion to work closely with the members oft the Oregon delegation. The position" of congressman or senator holds no glamour for me. I know the mem bers of congress to be hard working people. Any man who goes to con gress from this new district will find plenty of good hard work, that will call for all he can learn and all he can do."
