TO RUSSIA, ITALY
REPORT AT 101
Nazis Heartened by Actions
of Molotoff and Mussolini
War Initiative Looms
BERLIN, Nov. 1. (JP) DNt!,
the official news agency, said
today Germany's ambassador to
Russia, Count Fricdnch Werner
von Schulenburg, would leave
Moscow tomorrow for Berlin for
a visit of several days
The German ambassador to
Italy, Hans-Gcorg Viktor von
Mackensen, returned to Berlin
early this week.
The purpose of vori Schulen
burg's journey was not an
nounced, but it was indicated
he was coming to make a period
ical personal report.
Planet Shot Down
The supreme army command's
communique today raised to six
the number of planes shot down
by the Germans on the western
front and in the North sen today.
Today's communique reported
only desultory artillery fire and
reconnoitering activity on the
western front.
An unconfirmed but general
impression that Germany now is
ready for some "positive initia
tive" In the European war devel
oped in informed quarters.
This followed two external
events of interest to Germany-
the reorganization of the Italian
cabinet and Soviet Russian Pre
mier Vyacheslaff Molotoff's dec
laration of policy.
Informed circles held neither
development injured the Ger
man cause and now nothing re
mains to bar German war
initiative.
Dr. Frick Boasii
The impression Germany was
preparing for some "positive"
action was increased by Interior
Minister Dr. Wilhelm Frick. In
an address at Danzig last night,
he observed "England rejected
the fuehrer's hand extended in a
gesture of peaco and now others
(Germany's enemies) shall have
what they wanted."
Frick declared Germany has
the world's finest army, and
that "no power can snatch vic
tory from the German people.!'
Announcement several thou
sand Jews has been ordered to
leave Vienna and Maehrisch-
Ostrau, near the Polish border,
to settle in former Polish terri
tory between the Vistula nnd
Bug rivers caused deep concern
among Jewish residents in other
parts of the roich.
The fear grew all Jews physi
cally able to travel would be
packed off to the reservation in
Poland within a short time.

If a modern airport is made
available here, largo and fast
ships of United Air Lines will
make regular stops for mail .ind
passengers, it has been revealed I
by Fred Brenne, chamber of I
commerce secretary.
A special chamber committee
is working on the possibilities.
Eugene's airport, built many
years ngo when the standards
were much lower, is inadequate
for modern ships because of sur
rounding hills.

PRANKS FEATURE
NIGHT IN COUNTY
After getting first hand in
formation through alert patrols
last night and checking on the
few complaints received today,
city, state and county authori
ties have come to the conclusion
that Jackson county's Hallowe'en
celebrants conducted their ca
vortings in a very mild and or
derly manner, in comparison
with other years.
Chief of Police Clatous Mc
Credie stated that no serious
property damage marred the
night in Medford, although the
streets were literally jammed
with hilarious youths. A picket
fence was torn down and several
trailers were removed from their
rightful location, but other than
that the youths confined their
prankcry to soaping windows,
overturning garbage cans, play
ing "trick or treat" and the like.
The sheriff's office reported
that it didn't have a single com
plaint last night from the out
lying districts. Talent appeared
the hardest hit, it was stated,
with several signs being torn
down, but no serious damage
done. Sheriff's deputies patrolled
in all the surrounding towns and
claimed celebrations were of a
rather quiet nature.
In Jacksonville, state police
and the sheriff's office reported.
a huge "Chic Sale" structure was
dragged by a hundred or so
youths and placed in the middle
of the highway in front of the
old courthouse, where it stood
most of the night, while automo
biles carefully found their way
around it.

FOR COMING YEAR
(continued irum page one)
Mayor C. C. Furnas commented
that he was not disputing Mr.
Iverson's assertion, but that if
such a promise had been made
it was an unwise promise.
Mr. Iverson objected infor
mally to the dropping of a $608
annual rental charged the water
department in past years. Mr.
Farrell explained that the city
used to make a tax levy to help
liquidate a water bond issue, but
since the bonds have been re
tired and there is no further
levy, the water department felt
the city should provide free
quarters.
Mr. Iverson said he thought
it was a "sort of swap," but ex
pressed the fear the water de
partment would have $600 more
a year "to spend" whereas the
tax payers would have an addi
tional like amount to pay.
Tend to Grow
Referring again to the airport
levy, Mr. Iverson - stated that
"these little items begin to creep
into the budget and then have a
tendency to increase year by
year. The school budget has got
away from us entirely and is
now ruiyiing hog wild."
With Mr. Iverson's protest
recognized, the council adopted
a resolution approving the bud
get. Councilmen H. S. Deuel, C.
H. Herman and George T. Frey
were absent.
