PAGE ETGHT MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY. AUGUST 5, 1940. "Yes-Maybe" Radio Highlights COOPERATION EVEN ii APnil I III! IlllllrV II- HI WiNb Noted Aviator Says Agita tion for U. S. Entry in War Increasing at Fast Pace Chicago, Aug. S. (IP) Amer ican opinion is now definitely and overwhelmingly against in volvement In the European war, says Col. Charles A. Lind bergh. The noted American aviator, in an address yesterday at a peace rally at Soldier Field, urged "cooperation" with Eu rope "in our relationships with the other peoples of the earth." He told a crowd -estimated at 40,000 that agitation for Amer ica's entry into the European conflict had increased with 'alarming rapidity. "But," he said, "when the danger of foreign war was fully realized by our people, the un derlying tradition of American independence arose and in re cent weeks its voice has thun dered through the weaker cries for war." Cooperation Urged Interrupted frequently by ap plause. Col. Lindbergh pleaded for American cooperation with Europe although advocating the non-interference of this na tion in Europe's internal af fairs. "It is only by cooperation that we can maintain the supremacy of our western civilization and the right of our commerce to proeeed unmolested throughout the world. Neither they nor we are strong enough to police the earth against the opposition of the other. "In the past we have dealt with a Europe dominated by England and France. In the future we may have to deal with Europe dominated by Germany. But whether England or Germany wins this war, western civilization will still de pend upon two great centers, one in each hemisphere. U. S. Should Rearm America should rearm "fully" for its defense; Col. Lindbergh said, and should "never make the type of treaty that would lay us open to invasion if it were broken. "But if we refuse to consider treaties with the dominant na tion of Europe, regardless of who that may be, we remove all possibility of peace."

VISITORS HAVE SEEN Treasure Island (Spl) With total paid attendance at the 1940 Golden Gate international exposition reaching three mil lion recently, the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland exhibit build ing has drawn more than 600, 000 visitors through Its doors. This estimate Is based on ac curate percentages obtained by careful checking at varying hours of the day and ever a period of weeks and months. That the Wondcrlnnd exhibit is fulfilling the purpose for. which it was intended, that of publicizing the Wonderland sce nic region of northern Califor nia and southern Oregon to ex position visitors from all parts of the world and attracting more vacationists and tourists into the region, is attested by the heavy attendance, thousands of registrations and favorable comments and the routing of hundreds of parties into the area. The Exposition will definitely close September 2!l. The question most frequently asked In the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland and other regional exhibit buildings Is: "What Is lo be done with these beauti ful buildings and exhibits?" Consensus among visitors Is that the buildings should be preserved as permanent region al exhibits in the respective arras. This opinion Is being so gen erally expressed bv public and press that it is reported that the California commission for the exposition is In o favorable mood to make it possible, nt relatively smalt cost, for each of the regional groups, through the county governments, to dis mantle, transport and rc-erect the exhibit buildings at stra tegic points In their ar-as as a permanent means of attracting visitors Into their territories.

IS EXPECTATION OF OEAUTREINT Hugh Model Prisoner During 13 Years Since Convic tion in Siskiyou Murders Salem, Ore.. Aug. 5 (U.R) Hugh DeAutremont, who with his twin brothers Roy and Ray killed four men in a brutal Southern Pacific train robbery in 1923, believes he will somi! day be pardoned for his crime. He has served 13 years of a life term. He has been a model prisoner and now works In the prison print shop where he edits the prize-winning penitentiary magazine, Shadows. Hugh, who has aged consider ably in the past few years, told the United Press that "serving a life term Is no fun." Asked If he expected ever to be released he said: "Oh, I suppose I will eventu ally." Prison officials think differ ently, since there is a federal "hold" order on him, ordering his arrest on a federal train rob bing charge if he is ever re leased. Release Chance Ramote The chances of any of the bandit-brother trio ever being released seem remote to most observers. The hold-up murder at tunnel 13 In the Siskiyou mountains has been voluminous ly reported as one of the most brutal in the modern annals of crime. The three brothers practised shooting for weeks and then on a dark night stopped the train at the edge of the tunnel, shot down Fireman Marvin Sidney Seng, Brakeman C. C. Johnson, Mail Clerk E. E. Dougherty and Engineer Sidney Bates. The death of Bates was calmly dis cussed in front of the engineer himself before Hugh shot him in the head. The chase lasted half way around the world. Hugh was caught while masquerading un der the name of Rice in the United States army in the Phil ippines, and Roy and Ray were taken . at Stcubenville, Ohio, while Hugh was being tried. E Answering the first call In more than a week, the fire de partment rushed under a ward alarm this noon to the north end of North Central avenue where grass was burning between the W. A. Martin house at 117 East McAndrews road and the Tim ber Products company, the blaze creeping dangerously close to piled lumber. The blaze was put out before any damage was done. Evidence indicated the grass had been Ignited by hot ashes dumped In the yard, Edward Canoosc, assis tant fire chief, reported.

HUCKLEBERRIES INj RESULT OF BLAZE WEEK-END FORAYlSET BY CIGARETTE Huckleberry pickers came into their own over the week-end when the woods were virtually full of them. In some areas the pickers picked the crop clean, Rogue River national forest headquar ters stated today after a survey had been made. Two hundred week-end pick ers in Blue canyon went home with a total take of 500 gallons, headquarters said. One family, after camping in the area several days, drove off with 70 gallons, according to the tabulation. The Blue canyon crop was virtually depleted, a survey showed. Five hundred gallons of ber ries were taken over the week end from Huckleberry City (Huckleberry mountain) by 300 pickers. The crop there also was practically depleted. Fifty pickers harvested 100 gallons in the Lake o' Woods area. There were fewer pickers and better picking In Huckleberry gap on the Umpqua divide, but no check was made of the har vest, headquarters stated. AT FT. Klamath Falls, Aug. 5.

Buck farm on the Little Apple gate road because of a careless or thoughtless picker who was blamed for throwing a lighted cigarette away yesterday and thus starting a fire that burned almost an acre of stubble field and some timber. Rogue river national forest headquarters quoted Mr. Buck as saying he would have lo put a stop to berry picking on his land because of the danger from careless smokers. Headquarters pointed to this as another ex ample of how the carelessness or thoughtlessness of one per son can ruin the pleasure of many. A crew from the Star ranger station of the Applegate district put the fire out. Another fire started by a careless smoker in the upper end of Cherry creek north of Rocky Point yesterday was dis covered and put out by Edward Dingman of Klamat'h Falls, headquarters reported.

DESTROYER SALE TO HELPjRITAIN World War Commander Sees Most Critical Time in Next Few Weeks Duty Cited Washington, Aug. 5 (IP) A proposal to send to beleaguered Britain at least 50 American de stroyers carried the endorse ment of General John J. Persh ing today. The man who commanded American soldiers In France during 1917-18 declared that de stroyers left over from World war days should be made avail able to the British as a safe guard of American freedom and security. Predicting that the most criti cal time for England would come in the next few weeks and months, Pershing said in a radio speech last night: "If there is anything we can do to help save the British fleet during that time, we shall be failing in our duty to America if we do not do it." The general of the armies said he saw "grave danger" for the United States in the present world situation, and blamed disasters in seven of eight na tions on "appeasers who would not take the danger seriously, who would not prepare while there was still time." Pershing declared that "today may be the last time when by measures short of war we can still prevent war (for the Americas)." FAV0R3RD TERM St. Louis, Aug. 5.
