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.

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.

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.

There will be no more berry
picking allowed on the M. R.
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.
A slight haze in the valley
today was attributed to a forest
fire in the Alturas. Cal., region.
Smoke from the fire is being

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)."

iance to the cause of the new
deal and for " the election of

Although a stormy debate

lution it was approved by a 507
