De Gaulle Threatens to Leave
Algiers Unless Demands Met
Algiers, June 21 U.R A last-minute effort to solve the most
serious crisis yet faced by the French committee of national lib
eration started in private conversations today with some officials
estimating that "there is a 50-50
, chance of success by tomorrow."
The private conversations
were undertaken after a short
meeting of the committee this
morning following a reported
threat by Gen. Charles De
Gaulle to leave North Africa
unless his demands for army re
forms arc accepted.
De Gaulle presided at this
morning's meeting and it was

Memphis M" A wrist watch
without inscription, lost by a
Memphis marine in the sands of
Guadalcanal last January, has
come home after a circuitous
journey of thousands of miles.
The watch, dropped by PFC
Leo M. Schnicdcr, Jr., as he
leaped ashore, was found in
February by a marine captain
who later turned it over lo a
Rod Cross worker in a San
Francisco hospital.
The Red Cross worker, Vir
ginia Bcnhnm, traced the watch
from the manufacturer through
the wholesaler distributor and
jewelry firm finally to Schnei
der's parents here.
The watch, still in good shape,
is being saved for its marine
owner who has some unfinished
business in the Pacific.
Who Said a Duck

duck owned by Miss Winifred

that dropped dead soon after.
Then Alex got so large Miss
Wood decided he should be in
the city park lake. She launch

the other ducks. Miss Wood
started for her car, a half-block

said the discussion was "quite
frank and quite bitter" but that
both sides were willing to make
another effort. Gen. Georges
Catroux again will attempt to
draw up a compromise and the
committee will meet again to
morrow.
Authoritative sources said De
Gaulle made known during in
formal conversations that he
intends to depart tantamount
the resigning from the libera
tion committee for either Bei
rut, Syria, or Brazzaville,
French Equatorial Africa, in the
event that his demands are side
tracked or rejected.
(A London dispatch said that
the American and British gov
ernments, their patience tested
by the prolonged political wran
gling in Algiers, may form a con
sortium to take over and hold
trust French territory until
a post-war government can be
established in France.)
(The dispatch said that it
would not be surprising if the
allies suggested to De Gaulle
that his retirement would be
the biggest contribution that he
could make toward the re-conquest
of France. A similar sug
gestion might also be made to
Gen. Henri Honore Giraud.)

zen in 1927, and his citizenship
was ordered cancelled In 1940
by the federal district court at
San Francisco on the ground
that he had concealed his com
munist connection.
Government Contention
Solicitor General Charles
Fahy, the government's spokes
man, said the naturalization act
required that an alien who ob
tained citizenship be "attached
to the principles of the consti
tution" and be "well disposed
to the good order and happiness
of the United States."
He added that the evidence
established that in 1927 the
communist party and Schneider
man "believed in, advocated,
and taught the overthrow of
this government by force and
violence.
Willkie said Schneiderman
had given "unimpeached testi
mony" that he had never .be
lieved in or advocated the use
of forces or violence or dis
believed in organized govern
ment. He added that govern
ment attorneys admitted that
the constitution of the com
munist party of America, adop
ted in 1938, did not advocate
force or violence.
Circuit Court Reversed
The federal district court at
San Francisco held that Sch
neiderman had obtained citizen
ship illegally because he failed
to reveal that during a five
year probationary period he
belonged to an organization ad
vocating violent overthrow of
the United States government.
In upholding the cancellation,
the federal circuit court at San
Francisco said:
"The trial court believed that
appellant's (Schneiderman) tes
timony as to his support of our
constitution and allegiance to
this country was incredible in
view of his admission that he
fully believed in and supported
the principles of the communist
party, and in view of the prin
ciples of such party. He cannot
say that the trial court's con
clusions are clearly erroneous
view of the substantial evi
dence in the record before us."

Unusual Manner
John Van Loh, 39, of route 3,
recovered consciousness at Sa

for the first lime after being in
jured in an unusual manner
shortly after 1 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
First aid men who attended
the case reported that Mr. Van
Loh was chasing a horse at his
farm near Liberty. The horses
collided with a rail, and the
rail was hurled by the collision
in such a way that it struck Mr.
Van Loh across the face.
After first aid had been given
he was sent lo the hospital.
H. W. Elgin, 1475 North Llb

went lo first aid headquarters to
have the wound dressed.
How America Bombs the Axis
(First In II serlr-s of si stones on the
methods of attark used by bombers of
the U, s. Army Atr Forces, ss explained
by Instructors at the world's largest
school tor bombardiers.)
AAF Bombardier School,
Midland, Tex. When you read
that U.S. bombers have blasted
another German industrial cen
ter, you can be pretty sure it
happened something like this:
The biggest planes, four-motored
Flying Fortresses or Lib
erators came over at an altitude
between 25.000 and 35.000 feet.
Each formation covered a space
about the shape of the area it
was to bomb, but somewhat
larger. The planes were prob
ably "staggered," with no two
of them flying exactly abreast
of each other or at the same
precise level.
Even though one particular
factory might have been the
prime objective, each bombar
dier did not try to lay his
"eggs" right down the smoke
slack. The leading plane aimed
for the center of the target, and
the others dropped their bombs
in co-ordination.
Big Bombers Need Altitude
Combat has proved it advis
able that the big bombers, com
paratively slow and offering
large targets, must seek high
altitudes where anti-aircraft
fire and enemy fighters present
least danger. For this reason,
as well as because of their range
and load-carrying capacity, they
are used against Industrial in
stallations, docks and large
ships. They seldom attack hos
tile ground forces.
Fighters cannot escort the
heavy bombers on long-range
missions. So the Liberators and
Fortresses operate In large num
bers and in the staggered or
stepped-up formations for pro
tection as well as for maximum
effectiveness. From whatever
direction an enemy plant ap
pears, the gunners of many
Meat Ceiling
Sharply Cut
Seattle, June 21 lP) Sharp
reductions of ceiling prices ef
fective today, on all grades of
meat in Oregon and Washing
ton were announced today by
the office of price administra
tion through the office of war
information.
The new prices, a result of
price roll-backs to producers
which went Into effect last
Monday, will average three cents
per pound less to the consum
ers. Seattle packing houses, which
have awaited government clar
ification of government orders
since last week before they con
tinued production of the meat,
Saturday received forms and
regulations from the defense
supplies corporation. J. D. Paul,
president of Frye Packing com
pany, one of the few companies
operating on a curtailed basis,
said the orders were "clear as
a London fog," however.
Packers previously Md said
they would await the forms and
regulations to determine wheth
er they would, resume process
ing the meat. Little meat was
available at Seattle markets last
Saturday.
Washington, June 21 (P) An
average, 3-cent pound reduc
tion in the retail price of most
meats went into effect today
the second of three price roll
backs undertaken by the office
of price administration (OPA)
through payments of subsidies.
The cutback affects all meat
except cured and processed
pork, but those cuts will come
under the subsidy plan July 5.
The new meat prices follow
ed a ten per cent reduction in
butler prices earlier this month.
A similar reduction is scheduled
for coffee prices, but an effec
tive date has not yet been set.
Grower Reports
Excellent Berries
Silverton, June 21 Willard
Benson, prominent hills straw
berry grower, was a Silverton
visitor Sunday. He reported the
first picking in his fields to be
gin today with the berries of
excellent quality but the latest
for harvesting since he began
to raise strawberries in the Sil
verton hills.
This it attributed to the cool
weather and much rain.
Warmer weather is needed for
the best in the yield of the hills
berries which are selling for a
top all-time price.
Pickers are still needed and
are being offered transportation
from Silverton and other nearby
sections.

bombers can train their sights
on it.
Attack in Formation
A fair bombardier with an
American bombsight could plant
blockbuster within a city
square from an altitude of five
miles and think nothing of it.
Thus for offensive purposes
planes operating singly by pre
cision bombing could cause the
maximum of destruction. But
heavy bombers coming In singly
over a target are just what anti
aircraft gunners hope for.
So they attack in a formation
which will pass quickly over
the target area. When the bom
bardier of the leading plane has

Dewey Says
Regime Fails
Columbus, O., June 21 (U.R-
State governments must provide
working programs for solution
of the nation's food problems
because the administration has
failed. Gov. Thomas . Dewey
of New York said today in
warning of a meat shortage
jeopardizing the nation's "obli
gallon to feed the starving sur
vivors of a wrecked world."
' "No purpose would be served
in analyzing the Incredible de
ficiencics of the national gov
ernment in its 10-year campaign
to restrict food production in
the United States," the republi
can governor told the 35th an
nual governors conference.
"We are just now reaping
some of the harvest of these
policies," he said. "But as a
sardonic final touch, we now
find that out of the genius of
the OPA there was developed a
theory that it would be a good
idea to repeal the natural law
of economics that corn and hog
prices are tied together."
The result, he said, was
ceiling price on corn of $1,05 at
Chicago while the farmer got
$1.45 for the same corn "right
on the farm, just by throwing
it over the fence to his pigs."
The meat ' situation now,
Dewey said, is a "jumble of
paradoxes" because there actu
ally is a livestock population so
vast that we never can support
it.
"Right now in this country
our meat animals are eating into
the precious food reserves
which must be Increased if we
are even to begin saving the
undernourished people of a res
cued Europe," he said.
"There can be only one result
of this," he continued. "Human
beings will inevitably push the
pig away from the trough, to
eat his corn themselves. Live
stock will be reduced, and its
slaughter will for a time give
us the illusion of a continuing
meat supply.
"I think the illusion may last
until election day next year.
But then will come the time
when we will really know what
a meat shortage means."

will strike the ground at set

perfect the string will fall

Only the leading bombardier
sights the course. If all the bom
bardiers sighted the course, a
slight error might cause neigh

If the leading bombardier is
a little off in his calculations
as to course, the bombs from
a following plane will strike
the point at which he aimed.

Home Consumption
Cannery Project
Albany, June 21 Plans for
operating the Albany Canning
company plant in conserving
produce for home consumption
in this section are being com
pleted by John Welbes, who is
supervising the project under
the joint sponsorship of the Ore
gon vocational education de
partment, the U. S. department
of agriculture and school district
No. 5. Definite date of the open
ing will be made later.
Under the present plan, the
produce will- be canned for con
sumers at a charge of or 6
cents a can, including the cost
of No. 2 or No. cans, said
Welbes. Consumers will be ex
pected to provide the produce,
prepare it and fill the cans,
which will then be processed by
an experienced canneryman. A
home economics teacher will be
on hand to advise on methods
of preparing the foodstuffs for
canning.
One hundred cans per person
will be processed at the plant
without ration points being as
sessed, Welbes stated, but points
will be required for all cans ov
er that amount.

Boulder, Colo. VP) City peo
ple who dislike shoveling the
snow from their walks can sym
pathize with Forest Ranger Art
Randall. He had to climb to the
top of Mount Thorodin and
shovel the snow from the top of
the mountain into a huge tank.
That chore was necessary be
cause the snow is the only
drinking water source for the
fire lookout stationed on the
mountain this summer.

To Bomb Munitions

tached to the ninth airforce
fighter squadron, dropped two
bombs recently on an enemy
gasoline dump. When his craft
bounced 1000 feet he knew the
missiles also had hit an ammu

"It was just as though some
one had turned me into a ten
nis ball and given me a hefty
throw," said Fenex. "I quickly
felt the plane diving toward the
ground but was able to pull
through."
