Tribune EDFORD Full Associated Press Full United Press Thirty-fourth Year MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 19' No. 192. IB) 1 Kit M FAWO OF atthe ADMINISTRATION NfllO.iL VICTORY ASSURED mm Washington, D. C. Nov. 2. Whenever cautious Republicans have criticized new deal policies to remedy this or that, new deal ers have sneeringly answered: "What have you to otter that is as good or better?" It has been a rather devastating ques tion, but at the regular congres sional session the Republicans will undertake to answer with a complete program, submitted in the form of a series of measures. Now being formed is a com mittee of Republicans who will study the farm problem (listed under 17 phases1, and their ideas for solution will be drafted and presented next spring. Only member of the committee from the Pacific northwest is Repre sentative James W. Mott of Ore gon. Mr. Mott and Representa tive John Z. Anderson of Cali fornia, are sole spokesmen on the committee for the vast area west of the Rocky mountains and Pacific ocean. This gives some idea of the burden placed on the committeemen and the scarcity of Republicans. pOMMITTEEMEN are assism- ed to subjects particularly affecting their respective re gions, thus, Mr. Mott is on the study of vegetables and canning industries; fruits, foreign mar kets, reciprocal trade treaties and effects, dumping, barter, etc. .all matters important tP Washington and Oregon. Republicans are determined to make a strong bid for the farm vote in 1940. This was formerly a Republican asset, but it went new deal. As the farm prob lems are still acute (members of the inner circle of the White House group blame this on Henry Wallace, secretary of ag riculture), Republicans feel that if they can offer something bet ter, the agrarian vote will re turn to the G.O.P. (Cotton and tobacco farmers always have been Democratic). It is worthy of note that neither the Republican national committee nor the "policy com mittee" headed by Dr. Frank of Wisconsin, which was appointed to incubate ideas for the 1940 national convention, are partici pating in the program directed by Joe Martin, aggressive minor ity leader of the house. The program is to be the handiwork of Republican representatives, although they will invite in- ( Continued on Page Seven ) COPCO'S NET PROFIT UK :i FISCAL YEAR Ssn Francisco, Nov. 2.

BY TESTBALLOT Lower Branch Votes Down Motion to Include Em bargo in Final Draft of Bill Washington, Nov. 2. (P) The house went on record In favor of repealing the arms em bargo today, thereby insuring swift enactment of the neutral ity bill advocated by President Roosevelt. ' The action was taken on a motion by Rep. Shanley (D., Conn.) to instruct house con ferees to include an arms em bargo in the bill's final draft. The house assured that the em bargo would be repealed by flatly rejecting the motion. The vote was 242 against the motion to 181 in favor of it. Conferees To Meet House conferees will meet with senate conferees tomorrow morning to compose differences between senate and house ver sions of the neutrality bill, en actment of which Mr. Roosevelt asked when he called congress into special session Septem ber 21. The principal point of vari ance between the two versions is that the house bill contains only a modification of the pres ent ban on arms sales while the senate measure completely removes the embargo. Both measures provide for a cash and carry system of commerce with belligerents. Final Action Soon The conference committee was expected to put the bill into final shape quickly. The house and senate may give it final approval either Jate tomor row or Saturday. Administra tion leaders predicted adjourn ment of the session Saturday night. The house vote on repeal was the third of the day. First rejected was a proposal by Rep. Wolcott (R., Mich.) that the house advocate inclusion in the bill of a prohibition against federal reserve banks or other government agencies financing any purchases by belligerents. The vote was 228 to 196. Then by a vote of 244 to 179 a motion for partial repeal of embargo was defeated. E: Redwood City, Calif., Nov. 2.

Germany and Russia Speed Swap of Needed Materials Berlin, Nov. 2. (Pi A great whirl of activity in the Soviet Russian trade headquarters to day was visible evidence of nazi communist economic cooperation whereby Germany hopes to get raw materials she needs for the war. The trade deal with Russia has brought about a rush of busi ness which has overflown the j Russian embassy.

NORTHERNJRONT Anti-Aircraft Guns and Brit ish Planes Get Two Scout ing Over British Lines With The British Expedition ary Force in France, Nov. 2. (JP) A hail of anti-aircraft shells from British and French batteries and machine-gun bul lets from British planes knocked down two German Heinkcl bombers this morning when three of them attempted a scout ing raid over the British lines. (A dispatch from Lille, France, said two British fight ing planes brought down a Ger man bomber in a skirmish over northern France. It was not dis closertimmediately whether this was'the same encounter). Bursts of smoke from anti aircraft shells encircled the three German planes. Out of the sky to the east streaked five British pursuit planes. Soon thereafter two of the German planes spun to earth. A general headquarters com munique failed to mention the third machine, which streaked homeward trailing smoke. "One of the planes was shot down by British aircraft and the other was brought down by the joint attack of British and French anti-aircraft guns, the communique said. 'S MELTS QUICKLY Chicago, Nov. 2. iPi Chi cagoans went to work in a win try setting today as .4 of an inch of snow fell during the morn ing hours. The wet snow clung to trees and lawns but melted quickly on sidewalks. A warm sun that boosted the temperature to 37 at 10 a. m., brought a quick thaw. Temperatures were low for the season virtually all over the continent east of the Rocky mountains and more than 15 de grees below normal in parts of the central and northern great plains region. Light snow fell in extreme northern Wisconsin, the north ern New York mountain regions and high elevations of south western New York, and in southwestern Kansas. Low tem peratures included 18 at Mount Ayr, Iowa; 8 at North Platte. Neb., and 25 in Kansas City, the coldest of the season there. "Fair and colder" was the general forecast for the south to the gulf coast. Russian experts were scurry ing about German factories plac ing vast orders for machinery and other Industrial products. In Russia, meanwhile, German buy ers were ordering Russian wheat, lumber and ores. Little money was involved be cause the deal was essentially one of barter arrangements on which German foreign commerce is based. The original trade agreement caHed for German purchases in Russia amounting to about $80, 000.000, but the deal subse quently was extended to an un disclosed amount. It was announced that in order to straighten out a snarl of tech nicalities, foreign office econom ics expert K. Schnurre, who signed the trade deal for Ger many last August, was hasten ing back to Berlin from Moscow where he directed ordering of the rcich'i war necessities.

(AP) Fed eral and county prosecutors united forces today in an un precedented action to destroy organized gambling today by cutting off communications ser vices to the vast M. L Anncn berg racing news empire. A government attorney said this was the first time in his tory that such a cooperative ef fort was undertaken. William J. Campbell, United States district attorney, and Thomas J. Courtney, state s at torney of Cook county (Chica go), addressed to three com munications companies an ulti matum that they cease serving the Annenbcrg network. The companies were the Amercan Telephone and Tele graph company and the Western Union Telegraph company. The utilities previously had been sent copies of an indictment ac cusing Annenbcrg and others of using interstate wires in the fur therance of a lottery scheme. Campbell at the time said that merely was a warning. Con ferences between the govern ment, the utilities and Annen berg agents followed. While the ultimatum covered only activities in the northern district of Illinois, Campbell said compliance with it would be a death blow, since contracts be tween the utilities and Anncn berg interests were executed in Chicago. FATAL SMASH CAUSED BY DEER Klamath Falls, Nov. 2. IIP) A truck wreck caused by a deer crashing into the side of the vehicle last night proved fatal to Marion Orville Braillicr, 29, in a hospital at Lakcview.

(IP) Speaking at a McNary-for-presi-dent rally last night, Senator Holman (R-Ore.) charged the new deal was not unwilling to see America in the European war so its "debacle of seven years of failure" might be stricken from the public's mind. Holman, keynote speaker, commended Senator McNary (R Ore.), minority floor leader, as the man best fitted by ability and temperament to assure peace and order for the country. He said no man was better quali fied by experience to steer an American course at the present "crossroads." At Crossroads. "America stands," he said, "at the crossroads. On the right is the road to constitutional gov eminent, responsibility and con fidence. On the other road, there is the way to rash experiment in the setting aside of the con- stitutioiand the possible loss of our form of government. He asserted the administra tion's "must legislation" was a form of dictatorship and that certain foreign trade treaties were made for the benefit of foreign nations at the sacrifice of American interests. Kern Crandall, state Republi can central committee chairman, predicted the McNary-for-prcsi-dent movement would spread to the east rapidly. McNaryannounced last Thurs day that he would permit plac ing his name before the Repub lican national convention as a candidate for the presidential nomination. DR. WTSlARY OP E Grants Pass, Nov. 2.

Change in World Domination Predicted by Roger Babson Boston, Nov. 2. (AP) Col lapse of the British empire as now constituted, but emergence of Russia, Germany, England, Japan or China, and possibly the United States as the world's dominating nations was predict ed today by Roger W. Babson, business statistician. This forecast was made In an address prepared for the execu tives and sales manager clubs of the Boston chamber of com merce. There Is no logical excuse for so many nations," said Babson. "There should be only four or five possessing armaments and a dominating voice In world af fairs.

Integral parts of stronger na tions." "America," he added, "must export or die; and to Increase our exports, we must work harder or longer and, by greater technical research, keep ahead of other nations. Battleships, airplanes and gold will provide this country neither security nor prosperity." Babson said he saw "no great future for the United States un til the dollar Is devaluated fur ther." "The British empire," he con tinued, "as now constituted, is bound to collapse. The world owes it much, but It has out grown Its usefulness. England however will survive and emerge stronger than ever as a great sea and air power.
