AID FOR REFUGEES
1ST BE HURRIED
SAYS R00SEVELT
Problem Caused by Europe's
Political Action May Be Ex
panded by War's Advent
Washington, Oct. 18. (AP)
President Roosevelt urged offi
cers of the inter-governmental
committee on political refugees
today to speed the task of help
ing 300,000 made homeless bo
fore European war began, in or
der to be prepared to cope with
new problems when the current
conflict ends.
He called for "redoubled vig
or" because of the possibility of
a refugee problem of "infinitely
greater magnitude."
Millions Threatened.
Speaking at a luncheon for
the officers, representing six
countries. Mr. Roosevelt asserted
"when this ghastly war ends
there may not be one million
but ten millions or twenty mil
lions" persons who will enter
Into the problem of the human
refugee.
The first task of the inter
governmental committee, the
President asserted, is to take
care of refugees who must find
new homes In other countries
as a result of dislocations be
fore the current war began.
The President requested that,
as the second great task before
the committee, "it start at this
time a serious and probably a
fairly expansive effort to sur
vey and study definitely and
scientifically this geographical
and economic problem of re
settling several million people
in new areas of the earth's sur
face." There are many vacant spaces
where European settlers could
live permanently, the President
asserted. Suoh areas, he said,
cover many portions of the Af
rican, American and Australa
sian portions of the globe, mil
lions of square miles located
in relatively young republics
and in colonial possessions or
dominions of older nations.
Quick Peaca Hoped.
"We hope and trust," the chief
executive declared, "that exist
ing wars will terminate quickly,
and if that is our hope, there is
all the more reason for all of
us to make ready, beginning to
day, for the solution of the
problem of the refugee."
The executive committee of
the Inter governmental commit
tee on political refugees came
here at the invitation of Presi
dent Roosevelt, who was chosen
to preside at the meeting.
The problem, the chief execu
tive added, Is not that of any
one race group or religious faith
and it must be faced actively If
the democratic principle based
on respect and human dignity
Is to survive and world order,
resting on Individual security,
to be restored.
TOLEDO SAWMILL NOT
Toledo, Ore., Oct. 18. (API
Delay In organizing fire-fighting
forces permitted a blaze to
spread rapidly and caused an
estimated $30,000 loss at the
Bittncr Log & Lumber company
Tuesday.
A new watchman pulled the
mill whistle instead of the fire
siren and emergency crews paid
little attention to the call until
smoke and flame began fanning
out from the shed beneath the
shingle mill.
The Toledo fire department
discovered the mill's hydrants
did not fit standard hose equip
ment. A hydrant had to be in
stalled before water could be
played on the fire.

Address Before Commons

LONDON. Oct. 18. (AP)
Britain has "made a good begin
ning" in the war against Ger
many, Prime Minister Chamber
lain declared, in the house of
commons today in a speech min
imizing British losses and saying
Germany had lost more than a
fourth of the planes which have
raided the British isles.
He paid tribute In his brief
weekly war report to the work
of defense forces in fighting off
the first German air attacks on
the country.
Enemy Loss Listed.
In the first air battles "fought
over our own coasts, we have
destroyed eight enemy aircraft
without losing a single machine
of our own," Chamberlain said.
He added several more Ger
man bombers might have failed
to reach home and said the casu
alties "thus certainly exceeded
25 per cent of the attacking
force, and may have been
higher."
The British navy "lias sus
tained severe losses, both in of
ficers and men," Chamberlain
said, referring to the sinking of
the battleship Royal Oak Sat
urday and casualties inflicted by
German air raiders on the Firtli
of Fourth Monday.
Sixteen men wore killed in
the Monday raid and 810 went
down with the Royal Oak when
a submarine torpedoed her in
Scapa Flow. British naval base
in the Orkney islands off the
north Scottish coast.
Attacks No Surprise.
Attacks on British fleet bases
were "fully expected," the prime
minister said.
"The extent of the enemy's
disappointment at the failure of
these attacks to inflict serious
injury on our ships may be
measured by the fantastic nature
of the claims which they have
felt obliged to invent."
The prime minister said that
since his last rejection of Ger
man peace proposals as too
vague, "there has been no in
dication from Berlin of the
views of the German govern
ment upon the issues."

JAUNT 10 COURT
Complaints are expected to
be filed soon, against a number
of bird hunters who, since open
ing of the season last Sunday,
have ignored trespass signs and
hunted on posted land. Sheriff
Syd I. Brown said today.
Protests poured into the sher
iff's office Monday and yester
day, from rural residents who
claimed stock was imperiled by
the wild shooting, pet bands of
quail blasted and backyards In
vaded by sportsmen intent upon
getting their bag limit.
The Oregon law provides a
fine of from S5 to S50 and cojts,
and a jail term for non-payment.
The sheriff said rural resi

complaints, but "were being
driven to it."

Such a scratch conceivably might
start a fracture. So we shot-blast
our springs to heal such tiny
scratches, "peening" the surface in
miniature like hammered silver.
Aii through this massive, power
ful, beautiful car you'll find special
precaution like that.
For example, we used to balance
by weight all sets of parts in our
tornadic Dynaflash straight-eight
engine, to cancel out even a hint of
"rough."
We do that still, but now we do
more. On special machines we elec
trically balance this great engine to
niicropoised perfection after as
sembly, paring metal if need be to
smooth its velocity to velvet.
Seat angles, pedal positions, shock
absorber travel-arc, brake areas,
