Proebsfel Tells
Of Far East
"We overlooked our opportunities,
neglected our obligations and failed
to take the proper attitude in the
East Indies until the tires began to
come off our cars and we ran short
of tin," L. Proebstel, for a quarter
century a resident of the Malayas
and other Oriental sections, assert
ed during an address today before
the Salem Lions club. Proebstel,
now associated with the state
training school for boys, declared
that while the Japanese were the
only people who could successfully
rule Asia, they had nothing to offer
the world in the way of decent
civilization and culture.
"We overlooked the Japanese
when we decided to give indepen
dence to the Philippines," the
speaker asserted. "And when the
British and the French permitted
the Italians to enter northern Afri
ca, the Japanese were given notice
that their tme to strike was near."
Proebstel said that it was pos
sible that the Japanese who were
being denied rubber, tin, steel and
other essentials decided they might
as well go to war in an effort to
avoid national suicide. He declar
ed that rubber and tin in Malaya
had -created more millionaires in
that country than any other section
of the world.

Labor Leaders
Rap Regulatory
Legislation
Washington, March 26 iff) Wil
liam Green, president ol the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, and Philip
Murray, . CIO chief, Jointly advised
congress today against passing labor
legislation which might start an
"undeclared war among ourselves"
and divide the nation into groups
fighting each other.
In statements prepared for pre
sentation before the house naval
committee, they assailed a" bill to
suspend the closed shop and ex
tra pay for overtime in war plants
and said It was dictated 'by labors
enemies.
"I charge that the sponsors and
supporters of this bill are now wag
ing an undeclared war against Pres
ident Roosevelt and against the
workers of America, who believe
in the policies of his administra
tion," said Green In his statement.
Murray declared the naval com
mittee had the responsibility of
"correcting misinformation that has
been sponsored and fostered by anti-labor
grounds . . and of
rebuking once and for all those in
public life and in private life who
are attempting to disrupt and di
vide our nation into groups."
The American Federation of La
bor head told the committee that
"We cannot afford in the nation's
crisis to take time out to fight an
other and undeclared war among
ourselves here in America."
Said Murray:
"This is not the time for any Pa
triotic American citizen to ma
lign or spread misinformation about
labor or to divide this nation into
groups-fighting each other Instead
of our common Axis enemies."

Indian Unrest
London, March 28 (IP) Apparent
ly seeking to counter Sir Stafford
Crlpps' mission to India, the axis

launching its own Indian Indepen
dence movement.
The Berlin radio broadcast a

would convene March 28 in Tokyo
for a two day conference.
"Definite measures will be under

pledges of greater freedom.

VichytoStop
War Guilt Trial
New York, March 26 CUPJ The
Vichy French government was re
ported reliably today to have de
cided to interrupt the war guilt
trial of five former French leaders
at Riom because of the critical at
titude taken in a recent speech by
Adolf Hitler.
Private advices reaching the
United Press said that it was unof
ficially reported that the trial
would be "interrupted permanently"
as a result of Hitler's speech,
which assailed the trial at Riom as
a political maneuver.
' Thi nazi-controlled Paris press
echoed Hitler's remarks later by
demanding that the Vichy govern
ment take action to end the "poli
tical" outbursts at the trial.
Former Premiers Edouard Dala
dier and Leon Blum have scored im
portant points at the trial by ham
mering at Marshal Henri Philippe
Petain's acts and words in the pre
war days and by attacking the
groups which now are strongly In
favor of collaboration with the na

because of limited man power, war
Industries will eventually have to
get along without men Ideally fit
ted for armed service, adding that
the U. S. "never permitted depen
dency as a reason for not having
enough men in the armed forces."
The association, a group of state
heads of U. S. departments and
agencies in Maryland, was told by
the draft chief that government
should set the pace for the nation
by asking deferment only of truly
essential men and by making
brains and "abolishment of red
tape" take the place of man power.

Sister Refuses
To Weep for
Loved Brother
New York, March 26 (U.R) "Scars
dale' Jack's sister refused to weep
today for she said she had known
he would never come out of the war
alive, and that he had died the
way he wanted jto all his guns
blazing at the enemy,
Janet Newklrk sat in the living
room of her home and told about
her brother, Lieut. Jack Van Kuren
Newkirk, 28, of. the Flying Tigers,
who was killed while strafing a Jap
anese airport in Thailand.
"He never expected to come back,"
she said. "He knew, that before
we even got into the war. And he
knew what he was fighting for.
Before the war started he wrote to
me:
" 'Perhaps if we are thrown into
this maelstrom something strong
will evolve from the struggle and
will make for better living than
we've known yet.' " ,
She said she liked to talk about
her brother. He was a tall, thin
fellow who tried to scowl some of
the time because his boyish features
belied his years and job.
He was painfully modest, too.
When he won the distinguished ser
vice cross In Burma recently all he
cabled her was "Squadron decor
ated." He sang soprano in the church
choir when he was a kid and sub
scribed to exercise courses in a
vain effort to put on weight. He
was born a marksman. At the age
of 10 he pinked a country sheriff
with an arrow on a dare and got
spanked. The same year he hit a
sparrow on the wing and because
he believed he should kill only
for food, like a hunter, he had the
sparrow cooked and ate it.
The last time he was in New York
he had to take a fast fighting plane
south. He told his sister he would
fly low so she could see hinu He
laughed when she told him it was
against regulations.
"He roared up to the side of my
office building and then climbed
right above It," she said. I shouted:
'That's my brother.' That was the
last time I saw him."

4-7 in Oregon despite the fact that
about 30 per cent of the slate's
rural schools will be closed by that
time, rationing officials said to
day. Original plans had called for
teachers to be tin charge of regis
tration which In many cases was to
take place at school buildings.
If schools are closed and teach
ers away there Is nothing to pre
vent county school superintendents
from deputizing other responsible
persons in each community to
make the registration, Rex Putnam,
state superintendent of public In
struction, said after a conference
with O. L. Price, state rationing

of their regular customers,' and
curbing sales to transient custom
ers to fixed amounts, usually five
gallons. A few dealers are reported
restricting sales entirely to their
regular trade and catering to the
general public only with the sur
plus of their supplies.
Most of the stations checked are
observing the 12-hour day, six-day
week edict, although some are
electing to remain open on Sundays
and close one day during the week.
Open hours generally observed are
from ,7 a. m. to 7 p. m.
Dealers generally were agreed
that a more uniform system of re
tail rationing would be desirable,
but several said that uncertainty as
to what the future may bring makes
it difficult to devise an equitable
system of distribution applicable to
the problems of all dealers. All
anticipated imposition of a ration
ing card or stamp system within
the next month or six weeks, along
with further curtailment of dealer
supplies.

Sea Patrol

today that there was a "shocking
lack of coordination" between the
various branches of the armed forc
es in protecting shipping off the
North Carolina coast from sub
marine attack.
The governor made public a tele
gram, sent to Secretaries Knox and
Stlmson, which sold that defenses
against "submarine depredations
certainly In the North Carolina
coastal area are wholly inadequate
and frequently inept."
The text of the telegram follows:
"After a personal visit Just com
pleted and upon the basis of re
liable reports I am definitely of the
opinion that the defenses against
submarine depredations, certainly
in the North Carolina coastal area,
are wholly inadequate and fre
quently inept and that there is a
shocking lack of coordination be
tween army, navy, coast guard and
air forces.
"I suggest an immediate confer
ence of those now charged with re
sponslbllty In the local area, with
a view to coordinating and making
more effective the defense against
German submarines which are
menacing our coastal waters with
impunity, causing tremendous tank
er losses and over-running the hos
pital and medical facilities on the
eastern coast of North Carolina and
possibly other states."
Another Ship Torpedoed
