which with the guards of
Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Wyoming comprise the division,
includes 301 officer and 4,225
men, but recruiting campaigns
will bring the total to 5,811
men.
Salem, Sept. 3. (P) State
armories will be taken over by
cities when the Oregon national
guard 1 mobilized September
16, Major General George A.
White, who is in San Francisco
conferring with Fourth army
officials, telephoned his. office
here today.
Cities in which state armories
are located will pay all operat
ing costs of the armories. The
mayor of each town in which
there is state armory will be
asked to appoint a board of
three citizen to administer the
armory during absence of the

cated in Salem, Ashland, Med
ford, Roseburg, Cottage Grove,
Albany, Dallas, Eugene. Marsh
field, McMinnville, Silverton,
Woodburn and Tillamook.
No official word regarding the
armory had been received by
either Mayor C. C. Furnas or
Capt. ' Carl Y. Tengwald. com
manding officer of Company A
and custodian of the building.
The mayor said, however, that
it would be reasonable for the
citiee to take over care and oper
ation of the armories and indi
cated that Medford would be
ready to cooperate in any ar
rangements designed to aid in
the national defense program

Medford Valley Area Re
ceives Welcome Moisture
Medford wa given a preview
of winter today.
Snow gave winter coverings
to the top of Mt. McLoughlin
and Mt. Scott and other high
peak in Cnter Lake national
park. It wa snowing hard this
morning on Mt. Scott, the look
out on the mountain reported
to Rogue River national forest
headquarter. No snow fell at
the Crater lake rim level, how
ever.
The lower altitude were
treated to rain that wa much
needed for farm and forest land.
While the rain was light in the
valley, It was received with wel
come relief because of the lark
of irrigation water for fall crops
The state and U. S. forest er-
vice also welcomed the rain as
a forest fire preventive, though
it value will be only temporary
unless more fall. Up to half an
inch fell in the forest areas; the
U. S. weather bureau measured
.10 of an inch.
Precipitation Heavy
Total precipitation for the
year ended August 31 was 22.60
inches, 4.S2 in excess of normal,
the weather bureau said. That
compared with 23 inches in the
comparable 1937-38 period,
highest on record. Snow short
age last winter accounted for
the inadequate storage of irri
gation water.
The temperature early this
afternoon stood at 67 degrees,
six degree lower than it was at
the same time yesterday. Maxi
mum yesterday was 76 degrees,
lowest thi morning 32. Offices

tion today were expected to
give way to fair weather tonight
and Wednesday except for some

and on the coast.

IN DRAFMJEBATEi
Washington, Sept. 8. W '
William Kenneally of New York,
a youthful union leader, rose
from his gallery seat during
house debate on conscription I
today and yelled out:
"American conscription is
American Fascism."
He then dodged through gal
lery door, but policemen set ,
upon him and took him to the I
office of the house sergeant at
arms.
On the route to that office,
the police with their prisoner In
custody encountered a delega
tion from the national maritime
union's New York group. Ken-
neany said he wa chairman of
the NMU unit of a delegation of
600 which came to Washington
from New York to oppose the
conscription bill.
Kenneally was released a few
minutes after and left the capi
tol In a taxlcab for the Union
station, possibly to accompany
the delegation back to New

ing it variously "the direct road
to dictatorship," and a policy
needed "to see to it that our na
tion is properly defended."
"Peacetime conscription is
un-American, un-democratic and
un-republican," Representative
Fish (R-NY) declared to gallery
applause after Representative
Cox (D-Ga) spoke of members
of anti-conscription delegations
as "lousy bums."
"It Is much Detter to train
without fighting than fight with
out training," Representative
Sabath (D-Ill) said in arguing for
the selective service legislation.

Day escape from the Arkansas
penitentiary here.
Two of the escapes, both ring
leaders, were captured after a
30-minute gun battle at Garland
City, in extreme southwestern
Arkansas early today. No one
was injured.
Another gang of five armed
convicts cornered along a high
way near Columbia, La., at about
the same time, killed Frank
Gartman, a posseman, while
using three youthful hostages as
shields.
The convicts, surrounded In
a clump of trees two miles
northeast of Columbia, still had
with them the two girls and
boy who were abducted yester
day when the men took their
automobile at Rayville, La.
Gartman, Columbia automo
bile dealer, was shot and killed
when, as a citizen-deputy,' he ap
proached the parked automobile
of the convicts shortly after mid
night. The abducted youths are Anna
Laura Diamond, daughter of the
Rayville marshal, Vonciele Wit
liams and Jerry Harnigle, all
about 16 or 17 years old.
