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. One hastens to add
that possibly the Germans have

One thing both combatants are

ment will be used. The board of
directors have made tentative plans
to remodel the library of the lower
grade building for use, as the prin
cipal's office. Library space will be

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. Throughout this period
the mtllage had steadily decreased

Under Arrest

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." Salesmen Beaten

PCE's Better Bonneville Bargain
Farmer Harper gives down-to-earth proof that
PGE gives a better Bonneville bargain with low
rates, but without tax subsidy.
Just 23c a day, on an average, buys enough
electricity, at low PGEBonncvilte rates, to do all
these jobs on the Harper farm:
Operate a S horsepower deep-well pump to
irrigate various crops, supplying the equivalent
of 9 inches of rain on 25 acres once during
the dry season.
Operate barn and milk house
equipment, consisting of a shallow-well
pump, fanning mill,
cream separator, and electric
fence.
Operate household equipment,
consisting of a refrigerator, 3
radios, iron, washing machine,
vacuum sweeper; in addition to
lights for all buildings, and small
appliances.
"Current at PGE-Bonneville rates
is the biggest bargain on my place,"
says Mr. Harper.

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."
