WASHINGTON, May 2. What Pres
ident Roosevelt told Chairman Mc
5 wain of the house military com
mittee about published secret war
test t m o n y wa
plenty. But what
he said privately
at a White Hours
dinner the night
before was even
more. Apparent
ly the president
has not been so
greatly aroused
about anything
In a long time.
The affair has
deep roots. The
McSwaln forces
and the war de
(Al l. MALL ON
partment "general staff have been
more or less openly at odds for a lonr;
time. It may not be true that Mr
McSwaln let the matter out Inten
tionally, but you can never make
Chief cf Staff MatArthur believe any
thing different. These two misunder
stand each other with deep and re
lentless feeling.
It wo a General MacArthur, as well
as the state department officials, who
helped to Inspire Mr. Roosevelt's
wrath, if It really needed any Inspir
ation. What made MacArthur red-headed
was that the published secret told
the world the weakest points of
American defense. In fact. It disclosed
how any foreign power could best go
about, attacking the United States.
For Instance, it contained a list of
vital areas of attack, mentioning oil
refineries, pipe lines and water routes.
Even more, it told how the attack
could be instituted easily if any for
eign country would secretly send over
a couple of freight-fueling ships and
establish temporary air bases at
points nearby. Then the bombers
could come along later In a hurry,
pick up fuel, and go to work, before
we knew what they were about.
Perhaps some of this has been fig
ured out by some of the foreign pow
ers. But If they did not know it be
fore, they do now.
These roots were neatly covered
up In the public handling of the mat
ter. The army officer whose secret
testimony was disclosed was. Induced
to make a statement that his testi
mony represented only his personal
opinions. This hardly fooled any for
eign military men or anyone else. All
It did was to lay the diplomatic dust
which was being kicked up, mainly
from Canada.
What made the Canadian angle so
embarrassing for the state depart
ment is that the non-militarized
frontier between this country and
Canada Is one of the diplomatic pets
of the department." We are forever
calling the attention of other nations
to it as an ideal for them to folio
To have the army make it appear
that we were contemplating secret air
bases there was, to say the least, ex
asperating The worst of it was that the Can
adian government requested an ex
planation almost at the very moment
that Under-Secretary of Stat Phil
lips was unveiling a tablet here com
memorating the signing, 118 years
ago. of the Rush-Bagot agreement,
whereby the United States and Can
ada agreed never to militarise their
frontiers.
The fundamental fact of the situ
ation is that Canada and every other
nation secretly makes military pre
parations to meet any eventuality.
Everyone knows that military men
have to keep In mind the possibility
that treaties my be broken. In this
Instance, any other nation might well
use Canada as a base for air attack.
Just na Germany used Belgium (in
violation of treaties) for the attack
on Prance. At least this possibility
must be considered.
For that reason, the incident may
not have serious consequences.
You cannot blame every war office
In the world for laughing.

IN LAMSON TRIAL
DEFENSE TARGET
SAN JOSE. Calif., May 2. (AP)
In the second day of arguing to
save David Lamson from tho gallows
for wife murder, Defense Attorney
Edwin McKcnzlo launched Into a
vigorous attack on prosecution medi
cal testimony In Lamson's second
murder trial today. His argument la
expected to continue through to
morrow. Dr. Frederick Proescher, county
pathologist who testified for the
prosecution, In his testa Indicated
bloodstains on the Iron pipe found
in the bonfire Lamson was tending
the morning his wife was found dead
In t'.e bathroom, waa special target
of t.ie fire.
"What a careless witness this Dr.
Proescher lsl" exclaimed McKenaie.
"I have had 22 years of trial experience
but In alt of It I have never known
a witness who changed his story
quitft as frequently as did he'
McKenzie insisted the cloth con
tained only paint stains, that it was
"Innocent cloth," and that the piece
of pipe also was "Innocent,"
Dr. A. M. Moody, San Francisco
pathologist and state experiment
witness, was also scored for his tes
timony about the cloth. Dr. Moody
was talking "in a field not his own,"
that of biochemistry, the lawyer as
serted. He said the testimony was
impeached by. the physician's admis
sion he hnd never seen hematopor
phyrin crystals, which are "all im
portant In blood tests."
Dr. Jesse Carr, another San Fran
cisco prosecution witness, drew the
lawyer's fire for his statement that
there were "about 000 elements."
"The only two points In chemistry
that Dr. Carr mentioned are abso
lutely and completely wrong," said
McKenzie.

By CLAYTON V. BF.RMIARD
Associated I'rcxs Staff Writer
SAI-EM, May 3. (AP) One wee
ago tonight a small line of smoke
lazily drifting skyward from the dome
of Oregon's cspltol gave the first no
tice to a shocked citizenry of a fire
which within a few hours laid low
the state's 60-year-old historic build
ing. An hour after the first signs of
the catastrophe became visible the
copper dome gently bowed Its head
In a harmony of color to bid fare
well to the thousands who had learn
ed to look upon Its crowning peak:
us a symbol of stability built up by
the ear'y pioneers, and to love lta
greenish hue.'
prrtrlal Pkliire Chanced
One week iBter that fire had
changed the entire picture of official
Oregon and particularly the immedi
ate aetup at the capital city. The
results and development during
those seven hectic days since the
very .core of material government was
suddenly swept away reveal a differ
ent course than had been followed
or had even been suspected.
The state planning board, called
Into action immediately after it had
been created only several months ago.
atarted work on plans for the con
struction of a new cnpltol building
at a cost ranitlng from 2. 000 .000 to
more than 5,000,000, a structure that
would take care of the future needs
of state government.
Speelnl Sesnliin lter
Governor Martin, forced to shorten
his trip to southern Oregon, declared
a special session of the legislature
was inevitable, but such a session
would not be held for at least several
months. Emergency meetings of the
board of control have been held dally,
and sometimes called Into session as
much as three times a day.
A voluntary caplotl fund, started
with a 1 bill, was continuing to
grow. It will be used for some spe
cial feature of the new building.
Baling of the old structre, after
all vaults had been opened and found
vlrtualy Intact and what materials
could be salvaged In the form of (Ilea '
and supplies had been taken out, waa ,

F O. Leary of Portland, using crews
of SERA workers.
Other than the supervisor and

by relief workers. Two IB-men crews
were started today, working six houra
each daily. The construction of an
eight-foot board fence around th
ruins was the first step In the wreck

would clear out the Interior before
felling the walls. Only workers will
be permitted near the building, the
fence to be constructed a distance of
60 feet around the structure.
