Miss Clark GOS SARD'S Expert on figure analysis will be here for INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION T omorrow Adri rienne s Raw Materials for Army and Navy of Million Men Navy Second to None Requested by Convention CHICAGO. Spt. 27. (P) The 1940 convention of the American Legion wu awarded to Boston today. Im mediately after delegates voted unani mously to gather In Boston next year. Mayor M. J. Tobln thanked the Le gionnaires and assured them the rally In his home city would be "the greatest ever held" by the ex-service men. CHICAGO. Sept. 27. (JP) The American Legion demanded today the government adopt Immediately porgram to provide raw materials sufficient to maintain an army and navy of 1,000.000 men for at least a year. The report of the national defense committee which was adopted by the 21st annaal convention, asked: A navy second to none. ' That the Panama Canal and Its approaches be made Impregnable. A modified voluntary program of military training for CCC enrollees. Increase of the regular army to 280,000 and of the national guard to 486,000, their respective peace time strengths, and a subsequent re moval of the numerical restrictions. Develop Air Program. Formation of a national guard In Alaska and prompt strengthening of all defenses in the northern terri tory. Continued development of a vigor ous aeronautical program; a ban up on the export of helium gas "to any country for any purpose"; that none but American citizens be em ployed In factories making airplane parts, as a precaution against sabot age. Robert J. Shaw of Iowa, chairman of the national defense committee, declared the nation's preparedness "must be strong enough to meet any Intended invader before an In vasion begins." Other policy makers of the Legion entered the convention with a "pro nouncement" demanding that con gress continue in session during the European war crisis, but avoided spe cific recommendation for neutrality legislation. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson In an ad dress to the convention asserted "we must become so strong in the air, on the sea and on land that none will dare attack us." Halting hit 1 Mow Legionnaires as "ex-warriors of the war to end all wart" he said, "we don't need to make a second fool's sacrifice." and enter the European war. The nation's sole reliance should be Its own might and unity. When the United States declared war against Germany In 1917, Gen. Johnson said, "we were told we would get International decency. Now Just look at the damned thing." Portland PORTLAND, Ore.. Sept. 27.

A coroner's Inquest held yesterday afternoon at 3:30 at the Perl Funeral home In the murder and tulctde of Mr. and Mr. George A. Baker last Saturday afternoon at the couple's Pine Tree auto camp, five miles south of Gold Hill, determined that the couple met their deaths by gun shot wounds from shots fired by Mr. Baker. The Jury, composed of E. S. Sleight. A. G. Bishop. L. E. Wateon. H. F. Piatt. H. N. Butler and N. S Young, did not find which of the two de ceased died first. This phase of the inquest concerned a will which au thorities revealed was written by Mr. Baker on the day of the tragedy The will. It is said, bequeaths two- thirds of the estate to Bnker's chtl dren, and one-third to Mrs. Baker, who died from two bullet wounds, Witnesses giving testimony relative to the murder and suicide at the inquest Included George Vincent, 13. year-old Central Point high school student, who was the first person to appear at the scene of the crime; Joe Collins who resides near Tolo; state police officer Clark Johnson. and Dr. William P. Holt who exam ined the bodies. Dr. Holt stated that he couldn't say positively which of the couple died first, but that It was probable that Mrs. Baker died first by bleed ing from the gun shot wounds. She was shot through the mouth and the back. Mr. Baker called at the office of a Medford attorney Saturday morn ing to make out a new will, then took a bus back to his auto camp, arriving there after 2 o'clock. The shootings apparently took place be tween 3 and 4 o'clock. Wall St. Report NEW YORK. Sept. 27. (AP) War shares retreated In the atock market today under cover of a show of strength In rolls and utilities. As the glamor faded from the re cently buoyant "war babies," other groups had difficulty carrying on. The forward march In rails and utili ties, brisk for a time In the fore noon, became halting and uncertain. Approaching the recent highs, many stocks encountered larger offerings from traders who concluded It was better to accept profits and wait for the next turn of events In Europe and the neutrality fight.
