Phone 4164 OIL SUITS SEEN DEFENSE THREAT Washington, Sept. 19. (J!) The defense commission was re-; ported today to have criticized a proposed anti-trust suit against the big o!i companies on the ground that it threatened delay to the preparedness program by disrupting tentative plans and discouraging cooperation by in dustry. The commission has communi cated its opinions to Attorney General Jackson after a study of the contemplated civil action against 22 major oil companies and about 300 subsidiaries. Jack son requested the defense group's views last July 26 be fore deciding whether to file the suit- Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 19. (,pi Edmund M. Totand. formerly general counsel for the congressional committee in vestigating the national labor relations board, suggested to day that any "fifth column" search "might very well start in the NLRB". In an address prepared for the metal mining convention of the American Mining Congress, Toland declared, "the hint of radicalism permeates 'a great part" of the board's personnel. Findings of the so-called Smith investigation committee, he said, "would seem to warrant the conclusion" that any "fifth column" search should begin in the NLRB. Vital Defena Link Toland said the board, "be cause it has been given juris diction over disputes between capital and labor, Is one of the most vital links In our defense program." He cited examples of what he called evidence of "how utterly un-American ideas" per meate the board structure. He reported that Edwin S. Smith, a board member, served as United States secretary for the league against war and fascism. Toland said Earl Browder, United States communist chief. described this group, later known as the American league for peace and democracy, as a "transmission belt for commun ism." Toland also contended there was a "close and intimate con nection" between Smith and Harry Bridges, west coast CIO leader. Law Aides Favor heds He declared that a "large number" of the board's legal staff were members of the Na tional Lawyers Guild, described as "not prepared to take any stand which conflicts with the communist party line" by A. A. Berle, assistant secretary of state, in his letter of resigna tion from the guild. The NLRB employees union, Toland said, contributed $400 to the American friends of Spanish democracy, and contri buted also to CIO union organiz ing drives, but not to AFL un ions. The board's "latest act of in solence," Toland said, was its refusal to abolish its division of economic research, headed by "Russian-born David J. Saposs," when it was "the Intent of con gress to abolish the divis ion ." by force. The league of nations, devised by Woodrow Wiison. with the co-operation of states men like William Howard Taft, Elihu Root and Charles Evan Hughes, provided for policing the world with an army and navy made up from all the signa. toy nations, under authority of the world court. If this had been adopted war anywhere would have been impossible. But isolationists and pacifists and jealous politicians in con gress wrecked the league of na tions. Faced with the problems of meeting the onslought of total war, congressional slackers dal lied and quibbled as though man na, instead of bombs, were fall ing from the skies. They espec ially opposed compulsory mili tary training, pretending to be lieve an army could be made up by voluntary enlistment, while their white-feathered psy. chology infected the youth of the land who flocked to marriage bureaus, thus hoping to escape the draft. They seem blind to the fact that in this war fewer soldiers are killed than civilians. When bombs begin to screech and burst pacifists and draft dodgers will want to break into the army as the safest retreat. But we shall find, as the British have proven, that it is safer to fight than to run, and this fact should hearten the white-feathered members of congress. Strange as it seems, a large contingency of obstructionist "statesmen" are from states west of the Rocky Mountains. If they really represent the sentiment of their constituents, what has be come of the rugged courage that prompted the quick-trigger which subdued the savages, ban dits and outlaws in pioneer days? Maybe they are misrepresenta tives; and this seems most likely, for each primary and general election is leaving some of them at home. WILLIAM E. PHIPPS, Medford, Sept. 19.

W Nazi occupied Norway faces a famine this winter and undoubtedly will need relief for several years, E. B. Hauke of Minneapolis, su preme president of the Sons of Norway, told interviewers yes terday. The German invasion cost Norway $150,000,000 and 15 de molished cities, he said.

Pres ent coins and most stamps bear the head or figure of "La Belle France." . Slackers Congressmen and Others To the Editor: If Nero was condemned for fiddling while Rome burned, what penalty should be meted out to a congress that fiddles and haggles and delays action for defense when- the world is on fire? Censure, of course, should not go to congress as a whole, but to the obstructionists, the isolationists and slackers who refuse to fight the fire they themselves helped to kindle. For isolationists and pacifists, no matter how good their inten tions, are actually responsible for this, the second world war In 1918 they should have known what everyone knows now, that outlaw nations, like outlaw In dividuals, can be controlled only r i V : x Justalittie V Better and 37.080 boxes of Cornice pears from the Medford area up to September 17.
