MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRTDAY, JULY 18. 1941. PAGE NTNB British Ambassador and Wife Present as 1000th Hudson Bomber Departs Los Angeles, July 18. The 1,000th Hudson bomber for Britain took off dramatically for England yesterday with 30. 000 aircraft workers cheering It on and Viscount Halifax, Brit ish Ambassador to the United States, and his wife bidding it Godspeed. Jimmy Mattern, famous American pilot, took the plane Into the air Just after Lord Hali fax had addressed a crowd at the Lockheed plant in Burbank. Just before Mattern gunned the plane for the takeoff. Lady Halifax briefly expressed Eng ' land's appreciation of the ef forts of American aircraft work ers, and said: "Now your labor takes wings, go, Jimmy Mattern, and God bless you." Dramatic Departure Mattern circled the factory field twice, each time banking nd diving to within a few feet of the crowd. Then he flew In to the east. Lockheed officials said he would not take the plane all the way to England, but de clined to disclose his itinerary. Halifax addressed the work ers during their lunch period, after he had toured the factory, i He was introduced by Robert ' E. Gross, president of Lockheed, who called upon the audience to "Join me in a demonstration of our spirit." The crowd roared Its approv al of aid to the British, and cheered again when Gross called for a show of "thumbs up." "I bring the thanks of my people for the skill, craftsman ship, work and goodwill you are putting into these fighting ships," Halifax said. In a prepared address Lord Halifax also brought the person al thanks of an R A F. pilot who had flown one of the bomb ers on a sortie over occupied France. Telling the story, the ambassador related: Shot to Pieces " "Heir, the pilot said to me, 'it (the machine) was shot to . pieces. Pretty nearly everything was shot to pieces. Look at the rudder, not much left of it, but the old kite brought us home 850 miles on one lung. Not an other aircraft in the world could take the punishment this one did today and yet make its land fall. If you ever get to Califor nia drop into the Lockheed fac tory and tell them thanks for me. This is a kite that doesn't know when it's beaten.' "That is the quality of sturdl ness that has led many high of ficers in the Royal Air Force to use the words the Hudson Lock heed is a household word In our coastal command." " "All that you give us." Hall fax continued, "will be used in the defense of freedom of speech, thought and religion, and the personal liberties, which things the English speak- lng people the world over value . more highly than life itself. "You know, we know, and if the nazis do not know it now they soon will, what you're do ing. Plane Will Do Bit "This plane (referring to the 1.000th bomber) when it gets to England will do its bit to swell the stream of war material which one day will become a flood as preparation becomes production. Planes and ships, ships and planes from this coun try to Join those that our men and women at home are turning eut, are what we need most. "In making these two vital parts of war equipment Califor nia is doing a Job second to none and the men and women of Lockheed and Vega may well be proud of their part in it." The ambassador's address was a non-political statement of Bri tish gratitude, but in an earlier press conference he touched up k on the situation at Iceland. "There will be no wholesale exodus of British troops from Iceland at present," Halifax de clared. "British troops will move out only in the proportion in which the United States sends its sol diers in. How long the process will take, I can't say." There have been demands In this country that British troops leave Iceland, now that Ameri can occupation has taken place. Has Own Idats Halifax declined to comment officially as to whether the Uni ted States should enter the war actively against Germany, but said: "I have my own ideas, of course. I am afraid they can't be expressed here." When he left the city hall he was picketed by a group of wo men carrying anti-war placards. "The signs bore such legends as "Wake Up America the British are Here", and "To Hali fax With Halifax United for Peace." The Briton tipped his hat to the pickets, walked through their line to his limousine, and bowed again slightly before en tering the machine. CARSON TO HEAD CIVIL1ANDEFENSE San Francisco, July 18.

The United States blacklisted 1,800 persons and firms in Latin America today in an ef fort to bolster national defense and close export channel1! to Germany and Italy. The black list was promul gated In accordance with a proc lamation of President Roosevelt. On the list were individuals and business establishments which the proclamation said were deemed to have been act ing "for the benefit of Germany or Italy" or their nationals, or in collaboration with them. Also on it were certain per sons to whom, the proclamation said, the exportation of "any article or materials" from the United States "is deemed to be detrimental to the interest of national defense.
