MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9. 1940.
GET SETTLED FOR
Finding Living Quarters in
Capital Difficult When
Law Makers Flock to City
Washington, Jan. 9. (P)
One of the greatest congressional
worries and one the folks back
home rarely hear much about is
that of the members in getting
settled in suitable living quar
ters in the nation's capital.
Finding a place is something
of a problem in Washington any
time, but in dead winter when
531 members of congress, 2000
members of the staffs and thou
sands of visitors reach the town
about the same time it becomes
a headache and one the congres
sional wives generally have to!
ease.
McNarys in Hotel
Senator and Mrs. McNary (R-
Ore.) and their five-year-old
daughter have been comfortably
settled in one of the large hotels
since the special' session. The
senator remained in Washington
during the recess at the presl-
dent's request so he could be
here for consultation If a crisis
in the European situation arose.
Senator Holman (R-Ore.), who
arrived the opening day of con
gress is housed will: friends in
Arlington, Virginia.
Rep. James W. Molt (R-Ore.) is
temporarily housed at the Uni
vcrsity club, but his family will
arrive Inter in the session. Rep.
Homer Angcll (R-Ore.) and Mrs.
Angell live in a new apartment
house southwest of the White
House and near the Potomac
river. Rep. and Mrs. Walter
Pierce (D-Ore.) are making their
home, as usual, at the Dodge
hotel, across the plaza from
Union Station and close to the
old house office building where
he has his office.
Hull Stubborn
Senator McNary, minority
leader, told an Oregon friend he
could see no hope of getting Sec
retary Hull to change his poli
cies in regard to trade agree
ments. Writing to R. A. Ward, gen
eral manager of the Pacific Wool
Growers' association at Portland,
McNary said "in my opinion we
can do nothing with Secretary
Hull about the injustices of these
agreements and the indifference
with which the agreeing nations
violate the terms of the reci
procal contracts."

Medford citizens, sympathetic
toward the plight of Russian
invaded Finland, have contribu
ted .$220.50 to the Finnish Re
lief Fund for aid to the non
combatants, It was revealed in
a check of local banks today.
Donations, which may be made
at any of the city's three banks,
have ranged in amount from SO
cent to $50, with most of the
contributors giving $1 or $2.
In a press release from the
New York City headquarters of
the Finnish Relief Fund, it was
disclosed that donations hnve
been pouring In at the rate of
$115,000 a week.
Former President Herbert
Hoover, who heads the fund,
stated, "every dollar of this
money will go for relief of non
combatants in Finland, not one
penny going for administrative
expenses which are being borne
by outside Interests."
people would like to treat the
British as they are treating
"their conquered people."
"But we on our side have no
such vindictive designs," he
said.
He labeled as a "vicious in
vention" of German propagan
dists the thought the British
would attempt to annihilate the
Germans. He described Ger
many's policy as a threat and
a menace "to the moral stand
ards on which western civiliza
tion is built."
Chamberlain declared Brit
; ain's mastery of the seas was
' unimpaired and England was
' ready to repel any invader from
the air.
Air Raid Withheld
"Four months have gone by
and the air raids have not
come," he said after mentioning
blackouts and other precautions.
He drew laughter a moment
later when he said:
"Some people are disappoint
ed, perhaps."
"I do not consider that the
risk of air raids is over or dim
inished," he said, "and I am cer
tain that we should make a cap
ital mistake if we became lax
in our policy or changed it. . , ."
"It is only on the sea that the
war may be said to be in full
operation," he said.
A survey of the war on the
sea, he declared, would show
that the results had been "not
unsatisfactory."
"The oceans of the world
have been swept clear of Ger
man shipping," he said. "The
German fleet, which at the be
ginning of the war was less than
a quarter of our own, has lost,
by capture, by sinking, and
above all by scuttling, 228,000
tons.
"If we subtract from our
losses by enemy action or by
the ordinary marine casualties,
our gains, by captures from the
enemy, by new ships or by
transfers from foreign flags, we
have lost up to date i22,000
tons."
Most of the remaining Ger
man fleet, he said, was "either
bottled up in foreign ports" or
confined to the Baltic.
