PA OF. FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, 'AUGUST 28. 1940. AMERICAN LEGION "Blessed Event" for Elsie Norwegian Crown Princess and Children to Be Hyde Park Guests. New York. Aug.. 28. After perilous voyage during part of which death teemed to lurk In every wave, the army transport American Legion ar rived in New York harbor to day with more than 800 Ameri can refugcci. The voyage, which began at Petsamo, Finland, Aug. 16, car ried the vessel through mine areai north of Scotland at a time when Germany was pro claiming unrestricted warfare In British waters. The Norwegian crown princ ess Martha and her children, fleeing from Scandinavia were taken off the American Legion down the bay by a coast guard cutter. They landed at the Bat tery, where arrangements had been made to take them immed iately to the Waldorf Astoria hotel. The reception at the Battery probably was the least spectac ular ever accorded visiting roy alty. A small crowd huddled in the rain outside the covered pier and watched the crown princess and her retinue whiz past in a motor caravan. The princess held her .1-year-old ion. Prince Harald in her lap In the first car. She wore a blue ensemble, with a silver fox carf and a wide brimmed, dark bat. She also carried a large bouquet of roses. During the trip up the bay ahe remarked that the weather was the same as it was when he came here last year to open tht Norwegian pavilion at the New York World'a fair. It was dark, rainy day. Mrs. Florence Jaffray Harrl tnan, U. S. minister to Norway, nd a number of other diplo mat remained aboard until the vessel docked in Brooklyn. The royal party planned to drive to Hyde Park tomorrow and be the guests of Mrs. Frank lin D. Roosevelt until the crown princess can find suitable quar ters. The American Legion was picked up 800 miles at sra by two United States destroyers forming an honorary escort. Virtually all the 897 passeng era were Americans fleeing countries under German and Russian domination. (I (sr;- ...... . L-., A fall mm THE GRANGE LL.jr ....... It's a daughter for Elsie! To a tensely expectant world, that news was given out in Hol lywood as Elsie Borden, Ameri ca's bovine sweetheart, gave birth to a bouncing baby that is the very' image of its famout mother. Telegrams of congratulations are pouring in from everywhere at the announcement of the blessed event that left even Winchcll gasping. The new arrival has been christened "Beulah". That seem ed to meet with the approval of both mother and daughter and they have settled down to a period of rest. After that in about ten days Elsie will re turn to her work under the kllegs at the R.K.O. studio where she Is being featured in the motion picture "Little Men" from the story by Louisa May Alcott. But Beulah's arrival was cou pled with another surprise an- - it " Urn A-mrA thai ihmrm "mini' be a solid, nation wide structure wherein all th component parts are organized both vertically and horizontally," but said further that this wai "by no means a movement for a political party." KONOYE CALLS ON JAPAN TO ADOPT NATIONAL POLICY ARKANSAS BLAST KILLS MINE CREW Tokyo, Aug. 28. UP) Pre mier Prince Fumimaro Konoye told Japan today she must adopt a new "national structure to "unite the total energies of the state and the people" so as to "take an active part In the estab lishment of a new world order." He spoke to a group of 26 political leaders forming a com mittee charged with organizing the "new structure" in the wake of the dissolution of all Japan's old political parties. The premier has been expect ed since taking office July 22 to establish a totalitarian regime. But his abstract phrases today left doubt as to the exact form of the "new structure" and some observers thought he took pains to avoid the appearance of fol lowing European totalitarian pat terns (such as the fascist or nazi parties). Bates, Ark., Aug. 2t.fP) Ten men. the entire crew of the Bates Coal corporation mine, were killed by an explosion deep down In the slope-type shaft here a few minutes after they went to work late yester day. State Mine Inspector J. W. Fitzjarrell of Fort Smith pressed an investigation in an effort to determine the cause of the blast which occurred approximately 1,700 feet under ground. The badly burned bodies were removed from the mine before midnight and taken to Heavener, Okla., and Hartford, Ark., mort uaries. The mine is a few miles cast of the Oklahoma border. OF REVOLT PLOT Vichy. France, Aug. 28. lP) The French government dis closed today what it called a British Inspired rebellion In France'! African empire. The government declared that "all necessary dispositions have been taken to localize the situa tion." (General Charles de Gaulle, recognized by Britain as the leader of "free Frenchmen." an nounced yesterday that the gov ernor of Chad, French territory in the heart of Africa, had noti fied him of a decision to fight on at the side of the British, rather than yield to the Vichy government.) A communique said that this was not the first time that Brit ain had attempted to Influence French colonies in Africa, re ferring to a British offer of pro tection for all parts of the French empire which sided with her after France's armistice with Germany and Italy. The communique also referred to British Prime Minister Chur chill's offer shortly before the armistice to make Britain and France one country, with com mon citizenship. This, the communique said, was incompatible with French interests. Salem, Ore., Aug. 28 '.TV Western women have changed their views on conscription and defense since last spring, Mar ian Martin of Bangor, Me., said yesterday. The assistant chairman in charge of the national Republi can party's women's division told an interviewer that when she was here last spring the ivomen favored "strict isola tion." The women of the west now favor a strong defense and the tendering of all possible aid to Great Britain short of men. 'The nation no longer is sec tional on defense matters," she added. ' 'She said Republican women believe that "when experts like the army men and leaders like Mr. Willkie favor the principles of conscription, there It no other course open." Miss Martin was here to at tend the ceremony notifying Chart s L. MeNary of the Re publican vice-presidential nomination. The Andes mountains reach their highest altitude of mora than 19,000 feet.

In response to insistent mands, Elsie was guest at Golden Gate International position last week-end. Elsie is no ordinary cow. sie is in a class which other cows of history such as Mrs. O'Lrary's lamp-upsctting bossle. or the high-jumping bovine of story book renown, could never hope to attain. For that reason producers of Elsie's picture are reluctant to let her out of their sight. Realizing, however, that she is public property. like any other movie star, they consent ed to give Elsie a week-off to meet the folks on Treasure island. She'll arrive In San Francisco on the Southern Pacifies "Lark", be greeted and feted by civic dignitaries, and escorted to Treasure island for an elaborate two-day program where every fair visitor will be invited to meet Elsie and Baby Beulah.
