MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEPFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 18. 1941. PAGE FIVB 1L CHAIN IS Paris Newspaper Raps Nazis FAV0RFI1 RY FfPl With Double Meaning Poem I 1 1 1 WIIL.W U I I WW AVERS NBC HEAD New Network Regulations Not Based On Public De mand or Deficiency, Claim Washington. June 18. (IP) Niles Trammell. president of the National Broadcasting company, told the senate interstate com merce committee today that new radio network regulations issued by the Federal Communications commission would "disasterous ly affect the entire broadcasting structure of the nation." The regulations. Trammell as serted, are the result of "un proven charges of domination, control and monopoly" against NBC and the Columbia Broad casting System and are not based on public demand on a defici ency of service by the radio chains. He contended the FCC fore saw a possible breakdown in the competitive system of broadcast ing by private enterprise and was "perfectly willing" to recom mend a government-controlled radio monopoly for the future. William S. Paley, president of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys tem, charged the FCC "strives and strains to injure" Columbia and the National Broadcasting company. At the same time, Paley claimed, the FCC sought to "help" the Mutual Broad casting system. London, June 18. (SpU Nazis in Paris, recently were puzzled when the newspaper, "Paris-Soir," appearing on the streets with verse extolling Hitler I reich and damning Great Britain, prove 5 a sell-out among nazi-hating Frenchmen who be came convulsed with laughter as soon as they scanned the lines. The face of many a German "Let us honor and praise "England for aye; "Let us curse, let us raze "The nazy array. "Let us be the prop strong "Of the sailors' renown; 'To them shall belong 'The conqueror's crown turned crimson when It was dis covered that the quick-witted Parisians, by splitting the verse down the middle and making two stanzas out of it. had suc ceeded in giving the meaning a 100 per cent pro-British twist. The following English trans lation, from the London "News Chronicle," shows how the theme of the poem was changed to praise of the British by split ting it into two stanzas: the Lord of the Rhine is fit only for death; the land o'er the brine shall alone draw free breath. of Germany's lord the end is a pall: the curse of the sword on the Swastika fall." Hypothetical Question Chicago, June 18. (IP) De fense Attorney W. W. Smith propounded a hypothetical ques tion to an alienist in a murder trial. The question took 4.800 words and covered 16 pages.

Reversing all scientific fore casts, the census bureau said to day the American birth rate was rising. J. C. Capt, census director, asserted that in the first four months of this year alone, the crop of new babies was approx imately 20,000 larger than in the similar period last year and indicated an annual birth rate of 18.9 per thousand population, the highest rate since 1930. Dr. Halbert L. Dunn, chief statistician for vital statistics, said previous statistics Indica ted that not even enough babies were being born to keep the na tion at its present size. Now, he added, it appears that the birth rate is sufficiently high to cause an increase in the population of 7 per cent per generation. EON JUL! 1 Camp Hunter Liggett, Calif. June 18. (JP) Forty thousand soldiers will start their march back to Fort Lewis July 1, after completing the greatest mass war maneuvers ever held on the Pacific coast. The troops will take six days to reach their home post and will follow virtually the same route they took on their southward march. The east column of troops will drive over the new highway from Klamath Falls to Eugene, instead of going by way of Bend and the Mount Hood highway as they did on their southward journey. Fairfield and Redding, Calif., were added as overnight stopping places for the coastal column which will also bivouac at Grants Pass and Eugene. Ore., and Vancouver barracks, Wash. East route bivouacs include modesto. Red Bluff, Klamath Falls, Eugene and Vancouver Seattle, June 18. (JP) Re turned from Alaska with a re port that Russia had established military bases with German technical aid "at Alska's back door," Rep. Warren G. Magnus on (D-Wash.) said today he would recommend immediate creation of a Joint internation al highway authority to direct construction of an arterial road to the northern territory. Magnuson, chairman of the international highway commis sion, presided at a meeting of the body in Alaska and sur veyed the proposed northern routes of the highway. Magnuson said he was ad vised while in the north that four of the known Russian bases are located on the Kamchatka peninsula, only a few hours' flight from Alaska. One combined air and sub marine base is at Bering island, only 280 miles from the most westerly of the Aleutian islands, he said. RAMBLING FORTS London, June 18. (JP) Soviet factories were reported today to be turning out 100-ton tanks carrying one 105 mill! meter, two 75 millimeter, two anti-aircraft and eight machine guns. The report, from the Ankara correspondent of the British news agency, Reuters, said the Russians also had a new fighter plane capable of 400 miles per hour and a bomber with a range of 8.750 miles in productions. Germans in Moscow, Reuter said, appeared concerned over the immense number cf planes being turned out by factories mostly in Moscow and the Ural mountains. Closing time for Too Lata to Clae tfy Am u 1 :S0 p. m. Washington, June 18. (JP) Senator Mead (D.-N. Y.) asserted today that testimony taken by the senate defense investigating committee indicated that the of fice of production management was what he called the "culprit" delaying the construction of a hydro-electric project capable of producing 100,000,000 pounds of aluminum yearly. Mead made the statement after I. W. Wilson, vice president of the Aluminum company of America, had testified that his company was ready to apply to the RFC for financing the Fon tana project in North Carolina as soon as the OPM gave its approval. Provide Big Output Wilson said the project on the Little Tennessee river would provide power for a plant which would produce 100,000.000 pounds of aluminum annually. The New York senator asked Wilson whether he thought the OPM was withholding its ap proval because it favored having the army build the project on a plan which would let the alum inum company purchase it at the end of five years. The witness replied that he thought the OPM was studying the Fontana project as one of many to be considered before it decided on where to expand aluminum facilities. "It looks to me," Mead seld, "as if the OPM is the culprit in the delay in this instance, if this testimony is correct. Wilson said the company had a "very high opinion" of the In dividuals in the OPM and thought they were working as expeditiously as they could. "I can't account for the de lay," Mead insisted. Restriction Told Edward K. Davis, head of Canada's aluminum Industry, told the committee that the world's largest producers of the metal except the Aluminum company of America restricted aluminum output between 1931 and 1938. He explained that British. German, French, Swiss and Canadian producers worked out an agreement to restrict alum inum production "during the de pression." 'The agreement was substan tially altered In 1938." Davis, head of Aluminum, Ltd., testi fied. "I might say it was ab rogated." Under questioning by Chair man Truman (D.-Mo.) of the sen ate committee, Davis emphati cally denied that the Canadian Aluminum company and its 30 subsidiaries had been formed to control prices and production in the United States or was linked with the American company. Earlier Wilson, flatly denying charges by Secretary of the In terior Ickes, asserted that his company "has done everything PRICES CUT SAVE ON 1941 RADIOS l Vl : I II .; 1 129.50 RADIO-PHONO 109" 11 tubes Including rerllflei and tuning eye!

UNIT FOR RENEWING USED CARS IN CIW An Innovation in the Improve ment in used car reconditioning procedure that has been hailed in automotive circles as a dis tinct contribution to used car values. Is the new training pro gram now in effect at Rogue River Chevrolet Co., where a unique mobile used car recon ditioning shop is now stationed, according to C. M. Hurd, head of this concern. The mobile re conditioning unit's visit to Med ford is the first appearance of this equipment In the Portland zone. Ralph T. Ure. divisional used car manager for the Chevrolet Motor company, Is also in Med ford assisting Rogue River Chev rolet officials in using the mo bile unit at the newly established reconditioning shops of Rogue River Chevrolet recently estab lished at 616-618 South River side. This unit, an attractive Chev rolet lVs-ton truck, is a complete used car reconditioning depart ment in itself, and is manned by a recognized service expert, a graduate of Chevrolet's used car reconditioning school. Under his direction, mechan ics at Rogue River Chevrolet Co. are studying all phases of the reconditioning operation, in the light of latest information on the subject developed by Chevrolet research mechanics. The truck carries all latest ap proved tools and equipment for the successful training of the service personnel of the Rogue River Chevrolet Co. At the conclusion of the two- week course, Rogue River Chev rolet used car men will have at their finger tips the accumulated information of several years of study and research on modern methods of used car recondition ing. 'This schooling for our serv ice experts is in line with the constant effort of Rogue River Chevrolet Co. to provide the best in service and values for motor ists of this area," Mr. Hurd said.

"Successful reconditioning of any used car means to the aver age buyer an increase in the amount of unused transports tion available in that particular vehicle. The greater the mileage-potential of a used car, the greater value it represents. Our mechanics are learning now every known method for increas ing this mileage-potential. SQUAWBU1E OWNER CONFIDENT Portland, June 18. (IP) The Squaw Butte mines, 33 miles west of Burns, will produce tin commercially within six months, William J. Becker, St. Louis, Mo., predicted. Becker, who represents own ers of the property, challenged a report by Dr. W. C. Mendcnhall, federal geological survey direc tor, which said no significant amount of tin was apparent in ore samples. Mendenhall's statement was "premature and possibly even misleading." Earl K. Nixon, di rector of the Oregon department of Geology and Mineral Indus tries said. He added that Mendenhall used a different assay method from that used by property own ers, who reported a high tin cone tent in the samples. While Firemen Played Van Alstyne, Tex., June 18..
