I ATTITI DE CRITICIZED
WASHINGTON, April 15. The
nows from Vienna makes bitter
hearing for believers in human lib
erties, but some of it is pretty
stirring too. Stories or young stu
dents caught by anschluss at their
winter sport, making packs of their
sleeping bags and skiing day and
night through lonely Alpine valleys
until they had passed the Swiss
border; of old men and women of
fering a calm, passive resistance
to the conqueror; of quiet, decent
people choosing suicide rather than
an Ignoble submission these set the
blood to tingling.
In a letter from an English writer
comes a new tale as deeply moving
a any told thus far. The tale con
cerns H. O. Wells, whom close
friend the English writer is, and no
less a person than Dr. Slgmund
Freud, father of psycho-analysis, and
one of the half-dozen most distin
guished scientists in the world to
day. Some time before anschluss oc
curred. Wells was In Vienna and
visited Freud. The scientist, aged,
white-bearded,. but still clear of mind
and of eye. received Wells pleasantly,
and the two men fell to talking of
world affairs. The talk came around
to Austria, and Freud reviewed his
country's situation, ending the dis
cussion with a flat prediction that
Nazi Germany would move to cross
the Austrian border In the reason
ably near future.
Wells, convinced by Freud's, rea
soning and what he, himself, knew,
Instantly urged the scientist to leave
Vienna for a haven in London.
Freud made a slight gesture, of .fu
tility, and replied, "No, I am 82,
and that Is too old to go to a new
place."
Wells Insisted, demanding to know
what Freud, who la angrily loathed
by the nazis Just as Einstein was,
would do when anschluss took place.
Freud replied simply that he would
"go Into his library." Still Wells
Insisted, pointing out the personal

Federal Bond, Salary
Taxes Will Be Sought
For Income Increase
WASHINGTON, April 15. .AP) President Roosevelt,
pressing his drive for business recovery, said today he would
ask congress shortly to strengthen anti-monopoly laws and to
permit taxing the income from all future government bond
issues and government salaries.
Congressional leaders sought im
mediate authorization of the 94,500.
000.000 lending and spending pro
gram which Mr. Roosevelt recom
mended. Hope to Check Slump
Federal reserve board officials, fol
lowing the treasury's release of a
$1,302,000,000 gold credit, were ex
pected promptly to reduce bank re
serve requirements by $750,000,000
in order to provide a $2,150,000,000
expansion of the nation's credit base.
With these activities Mr. Roose
velt expressly hopes to check the
downward trend of business and re
store the national economic health
which he said in his radio speech
last night is essential to the pres
ervation of democracy.
"In recommending this program,"
he said, "I am thinking not only of
the Immediate economic needs of
the people of the nation, but also
of their personal liberties the most
precious possession of all Americans."
Democracies have perished and
dictatorships sprung up, Mr. Roose
velt continued, under the pressure
of unemployment and Insecurity and
confusion, weakness and lack of
leadership in government.
"Not only our future economic
soundness," he said, "but the very
soundness of our Democratic institu
tions depends on the determination
of our government to give employ
ment to idle men.
A Rich Nation
"We are a rJch nation; we can af
ford to pay for security and pros
perity without having to sacrifice
our. liberties into the bargain.'
His program for getting out of
the recession, he said, "Is going to
cost something but the "profit of
getting out of It will-pay for the
cost several times over."
The president, seated at a desk
In the oval room of the White House,
spoke slowly.. His 40-mlnute- talk
longest of his 1 1 "fireside chats"
came at the close of an unusually
busy day, and many listeners thought
his voice sounded tired.
The tone of his remarks was re
garded by many commentators as
more moderate than some of his
past speeches. Without giving any
indication whether lie had In mind
any specific setback his legislative
program has rec?ived. Mr. Roosevelt
said:
. "Because I do not expeot too much,
I am not disappointed. But I know
that I must never give up that I
must never let the greater interest
of all the people down, merely be
cause that might be for the moment
the easiest personal way out."
Would Keep Touch.
Describing how he talked with
great and small who called daily at
his office, he said It was his con
stant hope that "neither battles nor
burdens of office shall ever blind me
to an Intimate knowledge of the way
the American people want to live
and the simple purposes for which
they put me here."
Senator Byrd (D., Va., an ad
ministration critic, predicted the
spendlng-lending program would
cause a deficit of $4,640,000,000 in
the next fiscal year, beginning July 1.
ine president told the nation that
"this new program adds $2,062,000,
000 to direct treasury expenditures
and another $950,000,000 to gov
ernment loans and the latter sum,
because they are loans,- will come
back to the treasury in the future.
'The net effect on the debt of the
government Is this between now
and July 1, 193918 months away
the treasury will have to raise less
than a billion and a half dollars of
new money.
"Such an addition to the net debt
of the United Sfates need not give
concern to any citizen, for it will
return to the people of the Unyed
States many times over In Increased
buying power and eventually in much
greater government tax receipts be
cause of the Increase in the citizen
Income."
Recession Recent.
Harking back to the depression
days of 1933, Mr. Roosevelt said that
"five years ago we faced a very se
rious problem of economic and so
cial recovery."
"For four and a half years that
recovery proceeded apace," he con
tinued. "It is only n the past seven
months that It has received a vlsfble
setback.
"And It is only within the past
two months, as we have waited pa
tlently to see whether the forces of
business itself would counteract It.

PLANS
EARLY AIRING OF
RELIEF REQUEST
WASHINGTON, April 15. (AP)
House appropriations committee
members arranged today to start
hearings Monday on President Roose
velt's request for $1,250,000,000 for
relief in the seven months starting
July 1.
Congressional leaders had not de
cided however, whether to attempt to
Incorporate the entire recovery pro
gram In one big bill. Senate Dem
ocratic Leader Berkley said he plan
ned to confer with house chieftains
promptly about the course to be fol
lowed. House Democratic Leader Rayburn
said legislators who had discussed the
program with the president received
the Impression no new legislation
would be necessary for the public
works administration.
If It should be. it probably would
be included In the relief appropria
tion bill, since the appropriations
committee has handled all PWA- ap
propriations anyway.
The house banking committee al
ways has had charge of housing leg
islation, but committee members said
they knew of no plans for a now
measure and that Chairman Stcogall
(D., Ala.) did not expect to return
to Washington until after Alabama's
primaries next month.
Housing proposals could be in
cluded In an appropriation bill, pro
vided the house waived Its rule
against legislation In an appropria
tion measure.
Representative Belter (D., N. Y.),
leader of a house PWA bloc, said he
was preparing a PWA bill which
would make the agency permanent
and forbid transfer of its funds to
any other government body.
ALASKA FISHERY
SEATTLE, April 15. (AP) A two
month dispute neared an end today
as 20.000 men from Pugct Sound to
southwestern Alaska prepared for the
delayed start of the 1938 ' Alaska
salmon fishing season.
With only the vote of a few small
unions remaining for final artlfica
tlon of a government peace proposal,
packers and steamship lines rushed
plans for an early resumption of op
erations. Packers already have ratified the
peace proposal, which gives the men
wages similar to the 1936 scale while
a fact finding board determines from
perusal of records what the final fig
ure shall be.
The reopening means nearly 100
canneries operated by about 85 com
panies will be geared for operations
which provide for Alaska annually
more than $800,000 in revenue from
case taxes on the canned product.
WASHINGTON. April 15. The
senate appropriation committee ap
proved today a $50,000,000 Increase
In CCC funds for the next fiscal year
In line with President Roosevelt's
recommendation.
The proposed increase, previously
approvfd by the house, would pro
ride funds for continuing the present
1.501 civilian conservation camps.
Under regular Appropriations, the
number of camps would have been
reduced by 301 on July 1.

THREATENS SPLIT
IN JAP JINISTRY
Premier Konoye Ready to
Resign Unless Full Mobili
zation Is OrderedArmy,
Navy Oppose Changes
TOKYO. April lfl (AP) Premier
Prince Fumimaro Konoye was said
today to be ready to resign because
of a split among his ministers over
mobilizing Japan's full military
strength In an effort to achieve a
quick and final victory In China,
(Current dispatches from Shanghai
Indicate the Japanese drive In central
China has been stalled, at least tem
porarily, and that Japanese have suf
fered sharp reverses.)
The army and navy were said to be
strongly opposed to any cabinet
resignation at this time, fearing the
effect upon troops In China.
Putting Japan upon a full war time
basis would Involve Invoking the
national mobilization law, which
gives the government unlimited pow
er to draft Japan's manpower and
economic resources in a war emer
gency. The premier won passage of the
measure during the March sitting of
parliament after bitter opposition
only with a promise that it would
not be used during the present Inci
dent In China.
Tho fact that both Japan's lenders
and the public have been concerned
for some time by' what they believe Is
the danger of war with Soviet Russia,
contributed to the seriousness of the
dispute.
SHANGHAI, April lfl. (AP) The
Japanese army's spokesman today re
fused to deny or confirm the conclu
sion of most neutral military experts
here thHl the Japanese army suffered
a major disaster, Its first In modern
times, In the recent battle In south
ern Shantung province.
The experts said conservative esti
mates indicated Japanese forces had
suffered more than 50 per cent casu
alties in fighting of the past ten
days, in which they were thrown
back from Talerhchwang on the
grand canal to YlhBlen, 20 miles to
the northwest.
Japanese reports Indicated the Jap
anese command was speeding rein
forcements from the north, northeast,
south and southeast toward the
Shantung battlefield.
The foreign experts believed that
of 60,000 Japanese engaged In the
fight for Talerchwang 7,000 to 10.000
were killed and 20,000 wounded.
Jubilant Chinese claims of 20,000
Japanese killed were believed too
high.
Chinese losses, the foreigners esti
mated, were two or three times as
large as the Japanese, since the Chi
nese had much larger forces engaged
and won in the final phase by
smothering their foe by weight of
numbers, cutting off and destroying
Japanese detachments In hand-to-hand
fighting.

ANCIENT LAW 'WORK'
STILL SUPREME SAKS
FORMER PRESIDENT
SAN FRANCISCO, April lo. T)
Former President Herbert Hoover told
1,600 future farmers of America last
night that "nobody has yet been able
to repeal the old and original law
that unless people work and produce
somebody Is going to starve,"
Speaking at a banquet of the
eleventh annual Interstate livestock
and baby beef show, Mr. Hoover said:
"Whatever governments can do or
say they will do, they haven't beaten
that law yet. The only fellow that
beats It Is tho on that gets some
thing for nothing, and that does not
make the moral fibre of tho nation.
"I have Just visited Germany. It
Is a regimented state and a regi
mented agriculture and I don't like
it. But they have a national slogan
that has merits. That is: 'Blood and
the soil.' Men and women of America
attached to the soil can get this
country further ahead than Oermany.
And they can get it without regi
mentation." ALF UNIMPRESSED

you think about the president's radio
speech last night?"
Tho 136 Republican presidential
nominee grinned and answered:
"The speech sounded good if you

having heard it so many times be

many unemployed today as there
were when he went Into office. I
guess the Increase In the national

Additional Floor Space
Will Fill Long-Felt Need
A 915,000 building program to im
prove and enlarge the California
Oregon Power company building here
was announced todi.y by Hance H.
Cleland,. president.
Major features of the project are
the addition of a second story to
the building's one-story wing and
the re facing of the Holly street front
in keeping with recent down -town
Improvements, Mr. Cleland related.
There will be some remodeling of
the main and wing buildings and an
entrance will be provided on the
Holly street side. The building fac
ing Holly street now presents a solid
front of heavy masonry. The vault.
In which all company records are
kept, will be extended upward one
story.
fllve Needed Space.
Primary purpose of the enlarge
ment, Mr. Cleland explained, Is to
provide additional space for the ac
counting and other departments
which have been overcrowded for
some time. It waa pointed out that
floor apace has been so Inadequate
that the service department has beoa
forced to occupy the basement. When
the improvements are completed,
the service department will be trans
ferred to the first floor again where
more convenient service can be ren
dered the public.
Work will be started on the Im
provement tn a week or ten days.
The work will be done by the com
pany Itself and will be oomploted.
It was expected, In three to four
months. Plans were drawn up by
Clark & Keeney, Medford architects.
The Copco building Is I shaped
and extends from West Main street

facing Main street, Is a three-story
structure. An alley parallels the
wing facing Holly street.
