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.

JAPS TO FORTIFY
0EV0TE0 COUPLE
I
New York, Nov. 2. (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.

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.

A nation-wide upturn in busi-:

Mr. and Mrs. Penney arrived
in Roseburg Wednesday for a
brief visit with his sister, Mrs.
W. B. Strawn, a resident of this

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.
