URGES SENATORS TO
AID BRIDGES OUSTER
Grants Pass, June 19. -fP)
In the "name of the American
Legion of Oregon," Nlel R.
Allen, department commander,
today urged Senators McNary
and Holman to support passage
of a bill to deport Harry
Bridges, alien leader of west
coast labor.
Allen's wire "urgently" re
quested that McNary and Hol
man do all In their power to
have the senate Join the house
in its favorable action "as un
mistakable gesture of an arous
ed citizenry exercising its pow
er of sovereignty over aliens
in our midst. We believe Amer
ica's duty to herself In this
time of crisis requires that she
declare and exemplify In no
uncertain terms . . . power
which is actually the power of
national self-preservation.
"The citizenry now looks to
congress to correct the weak
kneed Indecision and vacillation
of an executive agency of the
government which now sym
bolizes the attitude toward all
aliens within our borders."
Allen declared the power of
the citizenry over aliens "is
subject to no constitutional
limitations."
DEBT REFINANCING
"The Farm Security Admin
istration, through Its farm debt
adjustment service. Is assisting
debt-burdened farmers in Jack
son county to continue with

otherwise they would have been
unable to operate." advises Eu
gene Hampton, farm security
supervisor for Jackson county.
"Farmers are being assisted
through a committee of farm
ers and civic leaders In the
county In getting obligations
refinanced, which in some cases
means prevention of foreclosure
of property and In other cases
reductions of annual payments.
They are also Instrumental in
some cases In getting contracts
rewritten and obligations ex
tended. This sen-Ice is not re
stricted to Farm Security Ad
ministration borrowers, and
creditors as well as farm debt
ors are eligib'e to apply," con
tinued Mr. Hampton.
Anyone desiring information
