Newspaper Page TextirEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. AUGUST 22. 1940. PAGE SEVEN BERLIN REPORTS BOMBS DROP UPON FACTORIES, SHIP Berlin, Aug. 22. W The German high command fa id to day that 15 airports and numer ous industrial plants, as well as port and rail facilities, were at tacked yesterday by German planes. . The communique said bomb hits were observed on industrial plants at Skegness, Great Yar mouth, Witney, Coventry and Bournemouth, as well as on the port facilities of Bridlington. It also claimed that German fliers bombed a ship in the yards at Southampton, and an other in a convoy on the cast coast of England. It said an air plane factory southeast of Lon don and an armament factory near Brighton were bombed. The communique acknowl edged that British airmen had raided north Germany, but in- sisted they caused only minor damage. The British lost seven planes yesterday, the high com mand said, while the Germans lost six. German air activity over Brit ain up to noon today was limited to the customary armed recon naissance flights, informed sources said. Authoritative German spokes men declared the Nazi "total blockade" of Britain would make it impossible for the reich to give assurance of safe conduct to any United States ships which might try to remove children from England. Supporting a similar State ment ltmri mmrMmr hv DNB 'official news agency, they said) oermany understands in nu-i manitarian impulse underlying U. S. proposal to amend the nnlit lour ia Rritith ehil- dren might be brought across , I the Atlantic. I But these spokesmen pointed, out mines form an essential part ; of the blockade of Britain, and mines which have been laid can not be moved. Therefore, they argued, the children conceivably would be exposed to greater dan ger on an ocean crossing than if they were kept at home.

This message is pri marily for them. New Dealers have dubbed the third term issue as "trivial". Thomas Jefferson didn't think so. All voters know that In re fusing a third term he helped strengthen a precedent set by Washington, but how many know that he foresaw the situ ation that confronts the Demo cratic party today, and left strong statements to guide vot ers of any party in such- an in stance? Can any true follower of Jefferson vote for the New Deal candidates in iiwot er-i talnly Jefferson would not have done so: Here are his words: "If the principle of rotation be a sound one, as I conscienti ously beliove it to be. with re spect to this office,, no pretext should ever be permitted to dis pense with it, because there never will be a time when real difficulties will not exist and furnish a plausible pretext for dispensation." (Written in J 809). "The example of four presi dents, voluntarily retiring at the end of their eighth year, and the progress of public opin ion that the principle is salu tary, have given it in practice the force of precedent and us age, in so much that should s president consent to be a can didate for a third election. I trust he would be rsjecled en this demonstration of ambitious views." (Written by Thomas Jefferson in 1821). True Democrats need feel no hesitancy in voting against a third term candidate, that the founder of their party would have done the same! Miss Rehge L. Rolle. Eugene.

Radio Highlights MBS brings two speeches of interest tonight. At 8:15, Lt. Gen. Hugh H. Drum will give a "critique of the first army ma neuvers from ogdensourg, N.Y.. at 7:15, Rep. T. V. Smith of Illinois will discuss "The Alien in Times of War." He is spon sored by the Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born. The Drum speech comes at the same time as a London broad cast by Arthur Mann. This will be recorded and broadcast at 7, with a Rome newscast a half hour later. NO entangling alliances is one of our traditions. No third term for any president is another. Are we getting ready to throw them ALL OVERBOARD? THE London' dispatch (Assoc! ated Press) continues: "The plain truth of the mat ter." said a neutral diplomat, "is that neither Great Britain nor the United States has a pow erful friend left anywhere In the world. It behooves them to get together and make the best of the sorry situation. Hindsight (always clear and plain) tells us that if we had followed Theodore Roosevelt's advice to "walk softly and car ry a big stick" we would now have more friends and the situ ation would be less sorry. p.Mn auwm nail m afn a n iiff t .- V 7 t, .,. tff,i V 1 y'V $ I , -ijiir'-"' : ' ' X'- '''1 r f- -mm.

GERMAN tactics in the air at tack on Britain appear to be changing. Instead of massed formations of planes they are now sending over large number of LONE bombers, which dive from the clouds, drop their bombs and run. If you shoot ducks, you will understand why. Massed flocks are easier to hit than singles flying like a bullet. rS 'THE "African front, the J British abandon Somaliland to the Italians as they inti mated at the start they would probably do. The British hope is to retain control of the Mediterranean, thus shutting off supplies from the Italian forces in Africa and ultimately starving them out. Florida has 43.8 acres of wa ter for each fishing license, ex cluding the ocean.
