IIP) Adolf Hitler's World war su perior, Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, declared Saturday night German-Americans would be smart to have no traffic with the bund and said he believed the organ ization was disappearing in the northwest. Wiedemann. Nazi consul gen eral in San Francisco and often called the German dictator's ace trouble-shooter, was en route to his San Francisco offices after visits to consular offices here and in Seattle. He left Portland for San Francisco Sunday. The bund he said was based upon the "Fuehrer prinzip" and had no place in democratic America. "Their stupid speeches can give us only trouble. , . here in America it is wrong to go like the bund, Wiedemann said. He was less talkative con cerning American neutrality which he styled a "political subject" but said he was "hop ing Americans remained of neu tral mind. As an old soldier Wiedemann said he felt he would like to be at the front but admitted per sonally he did not like war. He said he hoped some day the world would be free of war but remarked pointedly he had hoped the same thing 20 years ago. He .laughed when a reporter suggested the blockade might be lessening his consul duties in asmuch as cargo shipments to Germany had virtually stopped, but refused to comment. When it was suggested that with the mines and submarines the block ade sometimes looked as much like Germany's as Britain's, the debonair Bavarian agreed with a laugh. How long would this war last; Wiedemann shrugged, "not too long, I hope." He said he liked the west coast of America and hoped Hitler saw fit to continue his San Francisco appointment for three or four more years. ENLIST IN NAVY Washington, Nov. 27.

Morse of the Univers ity of Oregon law school, feder al labor arbitrator on the Pacific coast, told Tacoma businessmen today ..he "regretted a growing anti-labor wave on the coast be cause it does not give labor a fair chance in arbitration cases. Morse told a Tacoma chamber of commerce meeting he is op timistic that labor conditions on the coast will improve "as both sides are recognizing they must have public confidence if they are to continue to do business and that to keep that confidence they must be fair in their deal ings and keep their records clean. "The labor movement Is suf fering from growing pains and. I believe firmly in the rights of both strikes and lockouts in the settlement of disputes," Morse told the businessmen. "But I feel many cases could be settled without so much economic loss if the court of arbitration was brought into the case early and not as a last resort. "We must recognize that the great advancement made by the labor movement has been made as a result of the use of econo mic force and In the long run most of these advantages nave been worked out for the benefit of the emplcjyer as well as the employe."

Lionel Barrymore comes to the New Riaito thea tr for tomorrow and Wednes day in the picturization of last season's gra" Broadway and San Francisco stage success, "On Borrowed Time." As the lovable old, outspoken and cussing "Gramps." Barry more marks a new milestone in his amazing record. It Is Gramps who desperately fights Death in order to prevent the young grandson he loves from falling into the hands of a scheming and unscrpulous aunt. Beulah Bondi plays Grandma and Bobs Watson, the boy star of "Boys' Town," has the role of Pud, the young grandson. "Hidden Power," starring Jack Holt, will play as the added feature". Deanna Durbin Hit On Craterian Bill Miracles do happen, even in this day and age. Latest miracle to come to pass is Deanna Durbin's new pic ture, "First Love," seen last night at the Craterian theater. The miracle lies in that, for the sixth time, Deanna has come through with a smashing suc cess, excelling her previous ftve pictures, each of which was claimed to be unexcellable at the time of its making. "First Love" presents Deanna as a parentless girl who, treated like a poor relation by the fam ily of her wealthy aunt and uncle, comes through to a tri umphant victory over her sur roundings. Outstanding feature of the picture is that, for the first time, the producers have injected a goodly share of ro mance In the production, some thing lacking In youthful Miss Durbin's earlier successes. Deanna sings four beautiful selections in "First Love" "Home Sweet Home," "Ama pola," "Spring In My Heart" and Puccini's "One Fine Day," from the opera "Madame But terfly." Her voice Is growing in power and feeling, giving added beauty to her excellent lyrie soprano renditions.
