sociation, guest speaker at the
luncheon meeting of the club at
the Hotel Medford, who was in

ed by the speaker as agriculture,

000,000; mining, $6,000,000, and
lumbering, $30,000,000. Another
income source of importance is
the tourist business, Mr. Stan
ley said, bringing (11.665,00 to

DEVALERA BALKS
U.S. USE OF PORTS
London, June 11. VP) Irish
sources said today that Prime
Minister Eamon de Valera of
Eire had refused to permit the
United States to use either sea
ports or airports in Ireland as
a stepping stone for transporta
tion of war supplies to Britain.
The Irish prime minister, with
the memory of bombs dropped in
uuoun May 31 still fresh in his
mind, was said to feel that use
of any part of southern Ireland
for such purposes would open
the country to German air at
tacks as a legitimate military
target.
It was understood, however.
