NAVY DIVE BOMBERS
WILL PRACTICE WIH
ARMY GROUND FORCE
Washington, June 25
New steps to weld American
land, sea and air forces into a
closely coordinated fighting
team were disclosed today by
General George C. Marshall, ar
my chief of staff.
Lifting partially the secrecy
surrounding some important de
fense preparations, he reported
that navy dive bombers would
be teamed with ground troops
for the first time in late summer
maneuvers.
The arrangement for use of
navy dive bombers was made
with Admiral Harold R. Stark,
jchief of naval operations. War
games employing more than
350,000 men are to be held in
Louisiana in August and the
army's field training is to be
topped off in November with
other maneuvers in the Caro-
linas.
Terming the use of the navy
bombers "logical," Marshall said
that in the event of war "con
ceivably carrier-based planes
would have to be used with
troops."
QUARTET ESCAPE
SUBMERGED GAR
Marshfield, Ore., June 25.
UP) Four persons escaped from
an automobile under 10 feet of
water near Gold Beach, Ore., It
became known here today with
the entry of Mrs. F. R. Moisan
Eastside, Ore., into a hospital for
treatment.
The automobile of Eastside
Mayor and Mrs. Moisan, their
dcughter Lois, 15, and Anname
Chabot, 16, went over a 40-foot
embankment into the water Sun
day. Miss Chabot extricated
herself and Moisan from the
car and towed Moisan, who can
not swim, to shore. Lois man
aged to get her mother out of
the car and bring her to shore.
Mrs Moisan was badly shaken
and bruised.
L
Washington, June 25 (IP)
The state department today an
nounced establishment of a new
Immigration policy, centralizing
the issuance of all immigration
visas in Washington, with em
phasis on the immigrant's suit
ability "to the national defense
program."
Instead of visas being granted
by immigration officials in the
field the new set-up will make
it necessary for visa applica
tions to be passed on by inter
departmental committees, which
it is understood will compromise
representatives of the state, war,
navy and justice departments.
Rome, June 25 (IP) Italian
authorities announced today that
special authorization would be
required for departure of Ameri
cans desiring to leave Italy
under new measures described
as "analogous" to those applied
to Italians in the United States.

The most extraordinary mail
route in the United States
twists 95 spectacular miles up
the immense chasm of the
Snake river from Lewiston,
Idaho, penetrating the heart of
the American wilderness. There
is no other mail route like it.
Every Friday morning an ad
venturous 32 -year -old Irish
river-runner named Kyle Mc
Grady pilots his flat-bottomed
diesel boat Idaho into the core
of Hell's canyon, deepest abyss
on the continent, and brings to
several hundred scattered men
and women their solitary con
tact with the outside world.
Area Little Known
Hell's canyon is one of the
least-known wonders of the na
tion. Although considerably
deeper than any other gorge in
North America, its picturesque
scenery and people have gone
largely unnoted. Yet this r;iion
can be visited in three ways1
by boat, by car and by trail.
Oregonian-AAA Motorloggers
combined all three methods.
The trip began and ended in the
familiar white car, but in be
tween we traveled in forest
service rigs, on foot and of
course on Kyle McGrady's boat.

This sort of journey to Hell's
canyon can be made in four
days by virtually anyone who
reads this article.
Travelers on the Idaho must
bring along their own food and
bedding. The Snake's surging
torrent is so swift that the trip
upstream requires 20 hours and
that coming back only 6Vl
hours.
The little towns near Lewis
ton soon were left behind. The
road long the river straggled
off into rocks and sagebrush.

Route-taken by the motorloggers in their journey to spectacu
lar Hell's canyon of the Snake river is shown on mao above.
We passed the last telephone
poles. The banks of the Snake
straightened into hills, and
presently the hills stiffened into
crags. Like a frayed carpet, civ
ilization on the shore gradually
disappeared and blended into
the fastnesses. A thin trail re
placed both highway and rail
road track along the bank.
From Johnson's bar, whero
boiling water barred farther
ascent, we climbed to Hat point.
From the summit we looked out
over one of the most remark
able spectacles in the nation.
Peaks Like Hobgoblins
Directly across the chasm the
seven serried peaks of the
Seven Devils loom up like stu
pendous hobgoblins. They sur- .
mount a vast stack of hills and
cliffs. Far below. Hell's canyon
is so deep that it seems filled
with a blue haze like some
painting by Maxfield Parrish.
The Snake river, carrying more
water than the Rio Grande and
nearly as large as the Columbia
itself, Is a thin strip. Mountains
and bluffs all bend In tribute
to the immense declivity, their
shoulders forming a huge NT
shaped trench. The scene is so
wild and awesome that the en
tire earth appears to be buckled
and wrinkled beyond repair.
The best way for motorists to
reach the chasm is on the road
which goes from Enterprise,
county seat of Wallowa county,
to the little settlement of Im
naha. From Imnaha a forest
service grade twists like a
dragon up the wall of the can
yon of the Imnaha river ana
Uen goes up the ridge to Hat
point. It is 40 miles from Enter
prise to Imnahaand another 24
miles from Imnaha to the rim
of Hell's canyon.
Salem. June 25. IIP) F. H.
Laguardia, U. S. director of
civilian defense, advised Gov
ernor Charles A. Sprague today
that Oregon's plans to create a
force of volunteer civil reserves
meets the requirements of the
federal government.
"It is apparent that these mat
ters are in good hands, and that
you and the officials charged
with the responsibility of the
protection of life, and property
arc fully alert to your duties"
Laguardia wrote.
Laguardia added that his of
fice would issue instructions to
the states for further defensive
measures.
Alfred P. Kelley, commander
of the Oregon department of the
American Legion, telegraphed
the governor today that the
legion would give the state "its
full cooperation in the home de
fense program."
Kelley also asked the 120
legion posts in the state to co
operate with county defense
councils in enrolling the volunteers.

Washington. June 25. (.P
The office of price administra
tion and civilian supply sent re
quests today to 47 of the largest
manufacturers of furniture and
to 16 producers of household re
frigerators to halt price rises
and cease other activities lead
ing to inflation and economic
"demoralization."
Leon Henderson, price admin
istrator, asked the furniture
makers to cease immediately the
"open" method of quoting prices.
A growing number of furni
ture manufacturers are refusing
to quote firm prices, but instead j
are leaving me mauer or prices '
open until the time of shipment. I
Hendersons letter stated. He1
declared the practice would up
set the market and seriously af
fect the price level.
