Thirty-fifth Year
MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 1940.
No. 85.
SUMACH WuiH
,
Washington, D. C, June 29.
Life for the people of the Pa
cific Northwest will be different
beginning Monday, July 1. On
that date the effects of the war
In Europe will be felt in a per
sonal and material manner.
Things will be different in many
ways and conditions as they ex
ist today, in many respects, will
be gone forever, at least insofar
as the present generation is con
cerned.
July 1 inaugurates the fiscal
year of the federal government
and marks the start of the mucn
discussed national defense pro
gram. It marks the imposition
of new and heavy taxes levied
for national defense, and these
taxes are but preliminary to
higher taxes in the next session
of congress. Taxes are what will
first make the people conscious
of the defense costs. They will
have an awareness of what is to
come when they pay more for a
ticket to the movies, when they
buy a gallon of gasoline, a pack
age of cigarcts or a quart of beer
or liquor.
IN the ensuing 12 months the
'federal government will spend
for national defense $5,377,552,
058, or S448, 129.338 each month,
and every penny of this im
mense sum will be collected
from the people of Oregon,
Washington and the other states,
territories and insular posses
sions. The federal government,
of course, has no place from
which to obtain revenue other
than the pocketbooks of the
American people. When the time
comes to pay personal income
taxes next March (on 1940 in
come), thousands of Oregon peo
ple who have never filed a state
ment before will be paying some
thing to the collector of internal
revenue. But like the construc
tion of national defense, the new
taxes are only the beginning.
A FTER Monday no one can be
hired by WPA unless an affi
davit is made that the applica
tion does not belong to the com
munist party, a Nazi bund nor
to any organization which seeks
to overthrow the American gov
ernment. A false affidavit means
a $2000 fine or a two-year jail
sentence and if the state ad-

American consumers will begin

In several instances, they will
pay more than during the world
war.
Excise, commodity and service
taxes will advance by from 10

from present rates.
An additional $1 per barrel
on beer will add a Jhird of a
cent per bottle: an extra 73 cents
per gallon on liquor will add 19
rents per quart; and 25 cents
more on each 1,000 cigarettes
will add half a cent to each

The gasoline tax will Jump
from 1 to l'i cents: radios from
5 to 5'i percent of their value;
passenger cars from 3 to 3'
percent: and so on for 30-odd
other items.
Amusement admission taxes

of 41. The scale of 1 cent for

Bucharest, June 29. UP)
Russian seizure of German
owned materials in ceded Bess
arabia led to mounting fears
tonight of complications be
tween Germany and the Soviet
Union.
At Chilia Harbor, on the
Danube, the German grain com
pany, Dunarex, had a large
quantity of wheat ready for
export but all was seized by
the Soviet committee headed
by the mayor.
In the town of Baltzi, in
northern Bessarabia, long strings
of freight cars loaded with sugar
were ready to leave for Ger
many but after the cession of
the territory to Russia the popu
lation refused to let it go.
Rumanian authorities were able
to get away only a few of the
cars.
Germany and Italy tonight
promised military and air assist
ance to Rumania, it was re
ported on high authority, if
Soviet troops attempt to make
further advances into this patch
work kingdom beyond the areas
reluctantly ceded by King Carol.
Informants who are close to
both palace and cabinet said the
axis powers had given broad
and . flat assurances that any
more penetrations would be
stopped.
Emergency Move Near
A number of government bu
reaus, however, arranged meet
ings Sunday to discuss plans for
an emergency seat of govern
ment in the Carpathian moun
tains. (Bucharest is in southern Ru
mania, near the Bulgarian bor
der. A move to the Carpathians
would place the government in
the approximate center of the
country.) ,
Foreign correspondents were
told that military authorities
had taken over the communi
cations system, and military
censorship becomes effective at
midnight Saturday. Some Lon
don correspondents and others
already have had their tele
phone connections cut off in
the past 24 hours because of
stories they filed.
Bessarabia Seised
Bessarabia, which the Rus

Washington, June 29. (VP)
President Roosevelt, terming it
a measure for mutual protection
of this country and "loyal aliens
who are its guests," signed to
day legislation requiring regis
tration and fingerprinting of all
foreigners in the United States.
In putting his signature to the
bill enacted by congress as a de
fense against "fifth column"
activity, Mr. Roosevelt said that
it did not carry "any stigma or
implication of hostility" toward ,
aliens.
Urging cooperation of citizens
and non-citizens alike, he de
clared, too, that it would be un
fortunate if "any loyal aliens
were subjected 'to harassment."
In addition to the placing of
this law on the statute books,
defense developments included.
The army announced experi
mental organization of an arm
ored corps of two divisions.
Armed with 1,400 tanks, 600
artillery pieces and more than
13,000 automatic and semi-automatic
weapons, the corps will

STAND OF ARITA
Tokyo., June 30. (Sunday)
UP) War in Europe has pre
sented Japan with a "golden
opportunity" and she must take
a "strong attitude," a group of
leading Japanese army men
decided at a conference last
night, the newspaper Nichl
Nichi said today.
The paper said the confer
ence followed a broadcast to
the empire yesterday by For
eign Minister Hachiro Arita,
who enunciated a foreign pol
icy based on creation of a jap
anese - dominated Asiatic
sphere."
Instructions relative to the
"strong attitude" were sent to
all army corps, and were inter
preted as orders to be on the
alert for opportunity to con
solidate Japan's position.
Observers believe, however,
that the military men were dis
appointed in Arita'f speech be
cause it advocated cooperation
in the formation of spheres of
Influence and also avoided en
couragement for the axis pow
ers, rather than coming out
flatly for a redistribution of the
world's resoruces as a prelude
to peace.
Japanese language newspa
pers reported the military ser
vices were attempting to
squelch rumors that they fav
ored avoidance of friction with
the United States and Great
Britain. According to these
papers, the military view is that
friction with these "old Influ-

London, June 29, Scotland
Yard's fifth column squads to
day arrested tall, blonde Lady
Mosley, pre-war friend of Adolf
Hitler, wife of the imprisoned
British fascist leader and daugh
ter of a British peer.
In doing so, a wary and
menaced official Britain not
only took cognizance of the
fact that Lady Mosley shared
actively in Sir Oswald Mosley's
"British Union" activities at
home, but it reached back also
into the curious friendship of
two pretty, high-born sisters
for the fuehrer of nazl Ger
many. During the years of appease
ment the two sisters were fre
quently in Germany as the per
sonal guests of Hitler. Lady
Mosley became so pro-nazi that
she trained her two small sons
by a previous marriage to an
swer the door of her town house
and greet visitors with upraised
arms and cries of "Hell Hitler!"
Lady Mosley, 30 years old,
was arrested at her Country
house, Savetay farm, Denham,
Bucks, near London,
Plainclothes men took her
into custody under the blanket
defense of the realm regula
tions.
Her husband. Sir Oswald, was
arrested May 23.
Their marriage was announc
ed by Sir Oswald In his fascist
newspaper, "Action," on No

issue which disclosed a son
had been born to them a few

(United Press War Expert)
Russian seizure of Bessarabia
and Bukovlna from Rumania
threatened serious complications
during the past week in the
Balkans and disturbed German
and Italian plans to keep con
tinental Europe passive while
attacking Great Britain. Possi
bilities that Hungary and Bul
garia would follow Russia's ex
ample in Rumania are causing
Berlin and Rome to exert all
pressure in their power to hold
the Balkans in check,
Rumania threatens to resist
further territorial dismember
ment and if a Balkan war were
started, Germany could not
concentrate her whole energy
upon plans for an Invasion of
England. Even as the situation
now exists, Hitler . must give
some consideration to nussia s
real intentions which may be
aimed at checking too large ex
pansion of German influence in
Europe,
Occupation of Bessarabia and
North Bukovlna gives Russia
advance bases for bombing the
principal Rumanian oil fields,
so vital to Germany and stop
ping oil shipments from Asia
Minor to Germany via the Black
sea and the Danube. Russia, too,
now has a mountain frontier in
Bukovlna bordering on Czecho
slovakia, which in itself is a
potential threat to Germany's
expansionist program in south
eastern Europe. There can be
no doubt that Russia is work
ing to have an important say
in the new European balance of
power after the war, at the ex
pense of Germany and Italy.

Philadelphia. June 29. UP)
The rear guard of the Repub
lican national convention squab
bled over the selection of a na
tional party chairman today
and settled the issue tempor
arily by appointing a stib-com-mitee
to confer with Wendell
Willkie and choose the man.
Important Influences backed
a move to continue John D.
M. Hamilton in the Job, with
Willkie's apparent concurrence.
The opposition had the leader
ship of Alt M. Landon, the
1938 presidential nominee, who
at Cleveland four years ago se
lected Hamilton as his pre
convention manager.
Later 'Hamilton, in a state
ment, termed the creation of
a sub-committee "very natural
in view of the rapidity with
which events have moved in the
last few days."
Willkie, meanwhile, left the
city without making known his
choice. He and his attractive
wife sailed as guests of Pub

yacht Jamaroy for a brief sea
voyage before returning to New
York and then taking a longer
