PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 1. 1940. SAYS CAMPAIGN LEVEL Socialist Candidate Raps Conscription; Says Town send Plan Won't Work Salem. Sept. 15 P) Norman rhomas, socialist candidate for president, charged today that the . conscription bill, which President Roosevelt signed Into law today, would give America "an army of aggression." Addressing 200 persons at a Dartv meeting here, Thomas added "there is no military need for conscription. It is a principle Inherent in the life of a totali tarian state." He said the campaign between President Roosevelt and Wen dell L. Willkic "Is at such a low level that it damns democracy. "Willkie's charge last Satur day that Roosevelt sold Checho slovakia down the river at the time of Munich was the new low level. Roosevelt did praise the Munich settlement and later he damned it. But that doesn't Justify Willkie's charge." Thomas declared the cam paign reminds him of " school- ground fight lull oi Dian-Dian. It has done nothing toward the settlement of the issues." Debate Spurned Thomas, running for president for the fourth consecutive time, said Willkie has refused Thomas' challenge to a debate. Jokingly, he asked reporters If they knew when Senator Charles L. McNary would de bate Willkie. He suggested the two Republican candidates could debate on reciprocal tariffs, public power and the McNary Haugen farm program because "they hold opposite views on these subjects." Thomas said the Townsend old age pension plan would not work under capitalism because "you can't pay old people more for not working than you pay young people for working."

Germany Deliberately In sulted Is Charge; Cannot Stand for Unfriendly Press Berlin, Sept. 18 (if) The German press launched a con centrated attack today on the Swedish government and press, charging certain newspapers in Sweden deliberately insult Ger many. Adolf Hitler's newspaper Voelkischcr Beobachter headed the procession by finding fault with the Swedish government for reprimanding one paper which asserted the British occu pation forces in Iceland had re sorted to terrorism, but failing to reprimand another which charged that terrorism was used in Germany. The Berliner Boersenzeitung found the Swedish press unneu tral in permitting unfavorable criticism of Hitler's Sportspalast speech of Sept. 4 forecasting in tensified air assaults on England. Rains of the past week over the Rogue River valley whi' beneficial, were not sufficient for fall plowing and seeding County Agent Robert G. Fowler reported today. Farmers are hoping for more rain this week. Reports were received that the ground is still dry in many sec tions. There has been some fall plowing in the more favored sec tions. The principal seedings will be oats, wheat, barley and vetch with some alfalfa. The rain probably did some damage to tomatoes, causing them to split, and be subject to "rot". Assistant County Agent Clifford Cordy said. Saturday saw the completion of most of the Bosc and Cornice pear crops, and aside from pick ing of red varieties of apples, there will not be much doing in the orchards until around the fir;t of October, when picking of the Winter Nelis crop will start. It is expected the fruit sea son will be over between Octo ber 13 and 20.
