PAGE THREE UN OF ARMS SALES FORffl AREAS Industrial Northeast, Few Midwest States and Coast Plane Plants to Prosper Washington, Nov. 2. (AP) The industrial northeast, a tew middle western states, and the aircraft plants of California and Washington appear destined to get the bulk of the "cash and carry" European war orders, if the arms embargo is lifted. It is upon these areas that the United States army and navy lean most heavily for munitions in peacetime. Administration of ficials suggested today this was the most accurate available gauge of the likely spread of foreign orders. All Have Raw Material, The northeastern and far west ern industrial areas particularly have the productive capacity to turn out arms and equipment with the speed that 3ritish, French and other buyers would demand. All states, however, produce raw materials and thus could be expected to share in any increased business activity. By some unofficial estimates, Great Britain and France are ready to place orders approach ing $1,000,000,000 with litttle delay if the embargo is lifted. In addition, at least two north ern neutrals have purchasing missions here. All Reticent, All are reticent, especially un til congress acts, but data col lected by the army and navy in connection with plans for indus trial mobilization at least show where the producers are. The number of plants and their army-navy munitions as signments, by states, provide a partial index to the spread of foreign as well as domestic or ders. They include: Washington 107 plants, all making either planes or parts. Oregon 64 plants, 14 prod ucts, including textiles, tools, dies and trunks.

(PI Samuel Walker and his wife, who through their 15 years of married life had never wanted to be apart, died together today because they were broke and desperate. Only strangers, hurrying to work in the midtown section of the city, saw them die two tiny figures hurtling from sep arate windows of a room on the 27th floor of the hotel New Yorker. He was 40; she was 36. They had had everything once money, a nice apartment. Un fortunate deals in the butter and egg business had brought their financial standing low. They had Riven up the apartment, turned to living in hotels. Early today they came to a decision. Dawn was whitening the skies. They climbed to the window sills, stood a moment. then rjlunged. The detectives found a dollar in their room, a few clothes, of good make but worn thin. 4 Jap Foreign Chief Makes Grew Wait Tokyo, Nov. 2 m Jap anese conversations with Great Britain and the United States will be postponed until a new central ( overnment is established in China, the newspaper Koku min said today. Yakichiro Suma, foreign of fice spokesman, who has pre dicted establishment of such a regime by the end of November, said Foreign Minister Kichisa buro Nomura was "too busy" to see American Ambassador Jo seph C. Grew because of activi ties in connection with the China affairs board, which met today. Tokyo, Nov. 2.(P)The navy announced today that effective December 1, it would establish at Maizuru, In the sea of Japan, its fourth major naval base. It said construction on the base, required under the fleet replenishment program, already had been completed. Maizuru, on Wakasa bay, 465 miles southeast of Vladivostok, first became a naval base in 1901. After 1923, it was reduced in size and importance in accord with what the navy called "the spirit of the Washington treaty although this was not required under the naval limitation agreement. . Its establishment as a princi pal base is the first report of major strengthening of naval shore stations since the treaty was denounced by Japan in 1934 and expired December 31, 1937. TEN -PER CEN. Roseburg, Ore., Nov. 2. (Pt A nation-wide upturn in busi-: ness conditions Is reflected by i a 10 percent gain by the J. C. Penney store syttem thus far in the current year as compared with 1938, J. C. Penney founder of the retail organiza tion which bears hia name, raid here today. Mr. and Mrs. Penney arrived in Roseburg Wednesday for a brief visit with his sister, Mrs. W. B. Strawn, a resident of this city. They are en route to their home in White Plains, N. Y after attending the national dairy show and Golden Gate fair at San Francisco. Button, button who DESERVES the button? AT ROGUE RIVER Rogue River, Nov. 2. (SpU At the 1939 budget hearing and special election held In the new high school building Monday evening, certain items on the budget were read and discussed. The budget as a whole was unanimously adopted by the qualified electors aft.r a ma jority vote to exceed the 8 per cent constitutional limitation. A discussion of existing tax structure lead to a conclusion that the present property tax as a means of school support is TWICE A YEAR, in this Company, we have a little ceremony in which veteran em ployees receive service pins, and some equally veteran executive shakes them by the hand and thanks them for the loyal assist ance they've given. This has always been a quiet, undisturbed, family affair. But now comes a veteran employee and upsets the even tenor of such proceedings by suggesting that it's all being done back ward. Veterans who haven't missed a payday in a quarter century, he feels, should step up and congratulate the repre sentatives of the Company and pin something on the Com pany's chest. His idea is that if an em ployee is entitled to congratult-, lion for 20, or 25, or 30 yean of faithful contribution to the success of the Company, the Company deserves to be con gratulated for managing to pro vide through bad times and good 20 or 25 or 30 year of unbroken employment, Maybe this difference of opin ion should be settled by a com promise involving a proper con sideration for both a pin for the employees and a medal (leather, at least) for the Com pany. For it turns out after 20 or 25 or 30 years that their interests, and achievements, and loyalties are mutual.
