Reign of Terror
In Madagascar
London, April 23 (IP) Agents of
Vichy government were reported
today to have Instituted a virtual
reign of terror on the strategic
French Island of Madagascar In
their attempts to round up all sym
pathizers with the Free French
movement. ,
Dispatches to the Daily Express
from Tananarive said Governor
General Ai-mand Annet had arrest
ed hundreds of De Gaulllsts on or
ders from . Pierre Laval, . Vichy's
new chief of government and pro
ponent of collaboration with Ger
many. Annet's own secretary as well as
other members of the island admin
istration were among those reported
arrested.
The situation on Madagascar is
of concern here because the Island,
situated off the east coast of Af
rica, liesa athwart vital allied lines
of communication with India and
there has been speculation that the
Japanese might try to gain a foot
hold there.
Annet was quoted recently as say
ing the Island would be defended
against any aggressor and the Ma
dagascar radio has denied any Jap
anese or German encroachment.
The Dally Express dispatches to
day, however, declared:
"Madagascar is not being defend
ed against Japanese infiltration and
it cannot be defended against Jap
anese invasion."

On the Russian war front, Soviet
dispatches reported that the Ger

The significance 6f this lay in
well-informed military predictions
that Hitler's long-heraldec offensive
would strike Its heaviest blows on
.the southern flank, in a drive to
ward the oil-rich Caucasus. Now,
according to the Russians, the Ger
mans' preliminary "feeler" thrusts
have been crushed and the nazis
forced back on the defensive.
Russian dispatches also reported

McNary Offers Bill
For Crop Alcohol ,
Washington, April 33 (IP) Sena
tor McNary (R., Ore.) asked con
gress today- to authorize construc
tion and operation of plants to pro
duce .alcohol for war purposes
from grain and other surplus farm
crops and from forest products,
He Introduced a bill (S2474) to
authorize the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation to make loans to
finance and operate such plants.
McNary said he was convinced
from studies made by a subcom
mittee of the agriculture commit
tee, of which he is a member, that
alcohol .could be, produced from
farm and forest products.
"In the Pacific northwest we
have a large supply of surplus wheat
and, at times, surplus of Irult,
berries and other farm crops and
forest wastes which could be prof
itably utilized."
Land Denounces
Delay on Ships
Washington., April 23 (U.B Chair
man Emory S. Land of the marl-
time commission charged today that
"Infernal agitation" among shipyard
workers and delays In deliveries of
steel plate are retarding the ship
building program. "This infernal
agitation' is going around Jn every.
body's head about whether it should
be a closed or open shop, or, whether
they should join this or that union,"
Land told the senate committee in
vestigating the war program,
He called for "stabilization of la
bor relations sometimes known as
freezing relations."
When he asserted that the ship
building program could be SO per
cent ahead of present production,
Sen. Harold H. Burton (R., CO, ask
ed whether "loafing" was respons
ible for the lag.
"It certainly has a bearing on It,"
Land replied. "One of my pet
peeves Is loafing In the yards. We
have got to build up morale and
that Includes everybody from man
agement to labor.". .
' "That brings up the qestlon whe
ther morale should be built up by
legislation or whether we should go
to other factors," Burton said.
"I don't care how it Is done as
long as we stabilize relations," Land
said. "I want ships."
Oreaon Caves
Yield Relics
Philadelphia, April 23 U.R Evi
dence of early man's transition from
spear thrower to use the bow and
arrow has been found In eastern
Oregon caves, Prof. L. S. Cressman,
head of the University of Oregon's
department of anthropology, told
opening sessions at the Ameiican
Philosophical society's annual three
day meeting today.
Dr. Cressman said that the Ore-
gon caves also yielded fragments of
colled basketry, which "must have
been brought in by migratory peo-
pies." His paper, "Cave and lake
bed cultures of south central Ore
gon, In the northern great basin,1
also dealt with discoveries made in
"the bed of an ancient lake."
"The bed of an ancient lake,"
he said, "has given us three hori
zons: (1) the oldest, when horse,
camel and some elephant-like ani
mal slaked their thirst at the
dwindling water holes and were
hunted by man; (2) a second, about
the shore line when the lake was
beginning to refill about 4,000 years
ago; and (3) the historic Modoc cul
ture about the modern shore line,
dating about the beginning of the
Christian era."

Hormone Acts
Like Magic on
Grain Crops
Memphis, Tenn., April 23 (U.R) A
powerful hormone that has increas
ed production of some crops as
much at 100 per cent, was described
before the 103rd annual meeting of
the American Chemical society here
today.
The new compound levulinlc
acid has produced remarkable In
creases in yields, of ' cotton, corn,
oats, alfalfa, soybeans, cow peas,
beets and grasses, according to W.
W. Moyer, of the A. E. Staley Man
ufacturing Co., Decatur, 111., who
said the product "promises to find
Its greatest field of usefulness In
agriculture."
.Levulinic acid has been known for
more than 70 years, but only recent
ly has it been produced commer
cially. . It also has been found to be
useful in the manufacture of special
dyes for coloring plastics, and Is an
ideal metal cleaner.
However, the outstanding discov
ery, Moyer said, was Its ability to
stimulate the growth of important
agricultural plants.
The method of application Is to
soak or dust the seed before plant
ing or to dust the plants at the
flowering stage.
. At a leading agricultural experi
ment station it : was found that
treating the seed increased the cot-
ton yield by 650 pounds per acre and
that treating the seed and dusting
the flowers Increased It by 750
pounds per acre.
Oats showed Increases of 20 and
30 per cent, respectively; alfnlfa, 50
per cent; soybeans, over 40 per cent;
cow peas, 33 per cent', and grasses
12 per cent. In beets the yield was
more than doubled.
Brand Stresses
Free Learning
The right of free hearing, the
free flow of Information should be
the watchword of the country and
not so much that of free speech,
an Idea that has been much abused
In recent 'years, asserted Justice
James T. Brand as he discussed
some of the problems confronting
the average citizen during a talk
before. the Salem Lions club today.
"People won't fight for the right to
talk or for a slogan for any great
length of time,' he added. "Liberty,
however, is a weapon which may be
used toward the dissemination, of
Ideals. The free flow of facts to the
minds of the people is of everlasting
importance."
While admitting the correctness
of the theory that ."machines will
win the war,? Judge Brand pointed
out that It takes men to build them.
"No single man or group of men
can turn this country Into a flock
of sheep," he declared and added
"that they must know why they
fight.
Judge Brand said he felt sure that
the American people had gotten
down to earth and were now con
sidering the real weaknesses and
the real strengths In the present
struggle. .

Memorial
Services Held

vices for Lieut. Rex Putnam, who waa
killed during the course of duty
as an aviator in the United States
army, were held at the First Meth
odist church this forenoon.

"I will remember my covenant
which I made with thee in the days
of thy youth and I will establish it
unto eternity," Dr. J. c. Harrison
declared that lives such as that of
Rex Putnam were not for the early
twenties but that "principles for
which they lived and die are for
eternity." He then quoted from Vic
tor Hugo's Les Miserablcs where the
bishop says "It is not which you re
ceive but which you give that makes
you rich."
Speaking of the things and con
ditions which Rex had been able to
enjoy during his life, Dr. Harrison
pointed to the home life of his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Rex Putnam, Sr.;
the public schools and three years
at Willamette; the "church of the
Living God" and the "privilege of be
ing a citizen of the country for
which he lived and for which he
gave up his life."
Rev. George H. Swift, rector of
Saint Paul's Episcopal church, read
the scripture passage and offered
prayer for the young aviator. Rich
ard Barton, baritone, sang two so
los. No additional information con
cerning the death of Lieut. Putnam
has been received here. It is known
he was engaged in the ferrying of
airplanes to the Far East at the
