MEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1939.
FIRST CANADIANS
AT SCOTCH PORT
'Where The Hell Is Hitler?'
First Question Expect
No Picnic Says Leader.
By Draw Mlddlelon
Somewhere In Great Britain,
Dec. 19. IF) Cheering, sing
ing and shouting, "Where the
hell is Hitler?" the vanguard
of Canada's contribution to the
empire's armies strode down
transport gangplanks Sunday
and Monday in a fog-shrouded
Scottish port.
Stolid Scots yelled themselves
hoarse and warplanes and guns
of men o'war kept watch.
Leading the first contingent
of the Canadian active service
force, which includes a hundred
or so United States, boys, was
Major General Andrew G. L.
McNaughton, grizzled veteran
of the World war.
"We know this Is not a glor
ious adventure but a Job that
has to be done," General Mc
Naughton told newsmen.
Eden Among Greeters
Officially greeting the Cana
dians on the dock were An
thony Eden, dominions secre
tary, T. A. Crerar, Canadian
defense minister, Vincent Mas
sey, the dominion's high com
mission in London, and Major
General T. S. Bldwell-Webster,
deputy quartermaster general
of the British expeditionary
force.
Two thousand Scots formed
an unofficial welcoming com'
mittee and split the Sunday
quiet with their cheers as the
identity of the troops became
known.
Speaking to the troops, Eden
said "It may be the struggle on
which we are engaged may be
long it will certainly be tough
we all know that. But In the
assurance of the unit of all peo
ples of the British common
wealth is the certainty of final
victory."
Travel Long Distance
The troops included a battal
ion of infantry from the mari
time provinces and a hospital
corps that had traveled 6,000
miles from British Columbia.
The first man ashore was
Sergt. Bernard Grcgson, of St.
Stephen, New Brunswick, who
left his wife and two children
to "take a whack at that fel
low." The stalwart, tanned men
from overseas were like a
breath of fresh air In the dingy
Scotch port. They cheered the
slim grey ships which convoyed
them and the sailors cheered
back.
They cheered the people on
the dock and how the Scots
cheered backl
"It's Canadians coming," one
woman shouted hysterically.
Hundreds of Dogs
Stolen And Sold
To Medic College
Minneapolis, Dec. 19. W)
Police marked "solved" to
day the repeated disappear
ance of scores of pet dogs.
Detective Lieutenant Nate
Smith, arrestin" five sus
pects, said one, Charles Krue
ger, 99, had admitted par
ticipating in the theft of
some 500 dogs, which were
sold to the University of
Minnesota for medical study.
Each dog brought $2.50.
Orders are now being taken
by the county agent's office for
triple-superphosphate as a fer
tilizer for legumes. Applications
for 80 tons of the phosphate
have been filed, at a cost of
$36 per ton, plus a handling
charge of $1. The cost is taken
out of the 1940 fall payments
of the soil conservation pay
ments, No definite date has
been sot for the first deliveries,
but they are expected to arrive
the last part of January.
Farmers are urged to place
their orders at once. '

' Washington, Dec. 19. (P)
The Roosevelt administration
turned down flatly a war loan
inquiry from the British gov
ernment last spring, It was
learned officially today.
The "inside story" of pre-war
financial preparations showed
that Jesse H. Jones and others
told the British such a loan
from the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation was "out of
the window" as a matter of
policy, despite the opinions of
a half dozen lawyers that it
legally could be made.
The British wanted to know
about government loans because
the Johnson act forbids private
American bankers lending to
World war debt defaulters. At
security for a loan of possibly
$1,000,000,000, the British pro
posed their holdings of Amer
ican stocks and bonds.
Since the war actually has
occurred, the British have be
gun selling their American se
curities in small but steady
amounts. Rumors have been
heard of a plan to sell the near
ly $1,000,000,000 of British
owned securities to a Canadian
corporation, but these hpve not
been confirmed.
Ecclei Plan Followed
One of the plans for guarding
American markets In case of
war made at that time and car
ried out this fall came from
Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of
the federal reserve board.
Eccles and George L. Harri
son, president of the New York
federal reserve board, won se
cret authority in April to buy
$500,000,000 worth of govern
ment bonds if war torpedoed
the government bond market.
The purpose was to prevent a
rapid price change.
In the first two months of
war, Eccles' group purchased,
for the 12 federal reserve banks,
$405,000,000 of treasury bonds
and $32,000,000 of treasury
notes.
In April, too, Ecclei devised
the plan followed In September
of giving banks not members
of the federal reserve system
the same par-loan privileges en
joyed by members. This was
intended to prevent small loans
from making distress sales of
government bonds.
FiVE AUTOISTS
WHITE HOUSE BUSY
' Two autoists, charged with
passing other vehicles on the
Pacific highway, with Insuffici
ent clearince, were each fined
$3 and costs in justice court
yesterday.
They were Roger E. Card,
Jacksonville, and William B.
Calvert, Medford. Both entered
pleas of guilty. It was charged

Point, charged with driving an

ald C. Tuttle of Shady Cove

the same offense.

FOR YULEREUNION
Four-Generation Family
Gathering Requires Plan
ningPresents in Mail.
By Beth Campbell
Washington, Dec. 19. tP)
The external quiet of the White
House hid busy preparations to
day for the traditional Christ
mas celebration to begin when
the President and Mrs. Roose
velt return from Hyde Park late
this week.
Menus have to be prepared
and foodstuffs ordered for the
turkey dinners, children's par
ties and regular meals Incident
to a four-generation family re
union, led by the president's
86-year-old mother, Mrs. Sara
Delano Roosevelt.
Christmas presents and cards
for the family have begun to
move rapidly through the mail
room. A special force is keeping
account of the gifts, which are
placed in storerooms and not
opened until Christmas.
Rooms For Children i
Special rooms are being made
ready for the two youngest
members of the family nine-month-old
John Roosevelt Boet
tlger of Seattle, and 17-months-old
Franklin D. Roosevelt III.
Especially exciting to the ser
vants is the expected return of
the president's two oldest grand
children, "Sistie" and "Buzzie"
Dall, with their mother, Mrs.
John Boettiger and her husband.
Portable playground equipment
bought when they lived at the
White House still reappears dur
ing their visits.
Sistie, now 12, and Buzzie, 9.
probably will have a younger
playmate for-their romps this
time. Mrs. Roosevelt has said
he hopes that Secretary of
Commerce Hopkins and his 7-year-old
daughter, Diana, again
can spend Christmas at the
White House.
The evergreen trees by the
front door and the wreaths in
every window, which always
make the White House a stun
ning green and white picture
at Christmas, will go up just
in time for the president's re
turn, so that they will be fresh
throughout Christmas week.
