OF SUNDAY HELP
Portland, Sept. 6. MV-The
state) employment service re
ported today that Oregon'i crit
ical harvesters' shortage was
"somewhat eased" but large
portions of some crops still
.would be lost unless more pick
ers volunteered.
' Officials estimate! that 7900
Portland residents would work
in hop, bean and prune fields
Sunday.
Emory Worth, employment
service official, said 10,000
pickers would be needed in In
dependence hopyards next
"We'll be okeh for Sunday."
he said, "because of the efforts
of the clubs and unions. But
many of these workers can stay
only one day,
"Today we had a call from
HcMlnnville for 400 prune pick
ers and couldn't fill it. At least
500 bean pickers are needed
near Salem and West Stayton.
"The next two or three days
will tell the story of the prune
crop. The situation is acute with
.picking time short.
"The bean crop should be har
vested by the first of the week.
The yield has been more than
normal, so growers are not fac
ing serious loss.
"Hops have not been greatly
hurt as yet because the crops
will not mature for another 10
days. Conditions still improve if
the skies remain clear. If rain
comes, growers face the danger
of mildew."

LIKE THE BOSS." which Is
his way of referring to the presi
dent of the United States, Har
old L. Ickes says he would like
to return to the Pacific north
west "again and again and
again.
The secretary of the interior,
under whose jurisdiction are a
fourth of the lands of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana, walked slowly along the
shores of blue Lake Crescent
in the Olympic national park.
He pointed up at the great
Douglas fir "rain forests"
mantling the steep slopes of
Storm King mountain. A shred
of cloud hu.'.g like a banner on
Storm King's pinnacled summit
Mr. Ickes explained that he
has no intention of asking for
further national parks in the
Pacific northwest "It has been
claimed," said he, "that I have
ambitions to lock up vast ex
panses of the region in addi
tional parks. This is not true. I
am not even asking for the cre
ation of new national monu
ments. The forest service has
declared that there are areas
of such superb grandeur in the
northwest that they ought to be
preserved in perpetuity.
Play Areas Urged
"For my own part, I would
like to see the establishment of
recreational areas in appropri
ate instances."
Mr. Ickes walked up the
steps of Storm King cottage,
nestled among tall firs, and sat
down in the log living room. He
was shown several of the re
cent motorlogs sponsored by
The Oregonian and the Oregon
State Motor association. Care
fully he looked over two on
Mount Rainier park in Wash
ington and the Mount Jefferson
wild area in Oregon.
Pointing to the stories, he
said: "Our people should be en
couraged to visit places like
this. Communion with the
woods and wilderness is good
for our citizens. The more of
them who know about the for
ests and mountains the better."
Besides being secretary of the
interior, Harold L. Ickea is also
oil administrator for the presi
dent He was asked about the
effect on travel of shortages in
facilities for transporting pe
troleum. "Well." he answered
alowly, "there may be some ad
verse effect for a time.
Spring Travel Hoped
"However, the travel to
places like the Olympic national
park may not begin again in
force until next spring. By then
we sincerely hope to have the
' problem solved, at least on the
Pacific coast Oil tankers are

being constructed faster than
ever before. American ingenuity
and resources are turning out
these vessels in record time."
The secretary pushed an old
straw hat back on his head. "It
wasn't an easy job to set aside
this park," he volunteered.
"There was plenty of opposi
tion. "I suppose I made many ene
mies insisting on an adequate
park with wide, generous boun
daries. All I can say is that I
feel it was worth it I am sure
that you on your motoring trip
will agree to that, and I am
sure that men, women and chil
dren will feel that way for
many generations to com.
Surely no one can really grudge
to posterity this beautiful corner
of our vast land."
The Olympic national park
was established by congress
and President Roosevelt in
1938, one year after the presi
dent visited the northwest to
dedicate Bonneville dam and
was so impressed by this sec
tion of America. It is the na
tion's newest national park.
If anywhere in the northwest
there are forests primeval, the
Olympic peninsula is that place.
Within a few rods of Lake Cres
cent lodge and Storm King cot
tage the thick woods begin.
Long before white men looked
across the sea and saw Ameri
ca's distant shore, these trees
were growing. They grew in
the rain. No part of continental
United States has heavier pre
cipitation than the Olympics.
Rain in some parts of the pe
ninsula reaches 122 inches. The
forests are of tropical thickness
and density. Woodsmen call
them "rain forests."
Lake Crescent Noted
Best known of the resorts in
the Olympic national park is
Lake Crescent along the ex
treme northern edge of the
area. Trout fill the lake and in
the hills to the south there are
trails of boundless beauty and
Intrigue. Lake Crescent is only
20 miles from Port Angeles, one
of the taking-ofi places by boat
for Victoria.
The entire park la ribbed
with trails. These are wilderness
trails in every sense. Roads
penetrate but a small portion of
the park's total area. Most of it
is accessible only to the adven
turer willing to go by horseback
or on foot The Hoh valley and
the Queets river present spec
tacular vistas and picturesque
trails.

Salem, Sept. 9. OP) Circuit
Judt;e L. H. McMahan, an
nouncing that the slate bar trial
committee had cited him on mis
conduct charges, said today he
would refuse to appear and
would not tile an answer.
McMahan charged that the
move by the bar "is a political
maneuver by lawyers, by men
who don't like my Independence
in the way I conduct court."
McMahan said the bar charges
were based on the filing of an
affidavit of prejudice against
McMahan by Robert T. Mautz,
Portland lawyer, last December,
and McMahan' resulting de
nunciation of Mautz. The bar
complaint says that McMahan's
statements "are wholly false,
unfounded In fact and defama
tory and libelous of the said Ro
bert T. Mnuti."

HONORS AT FAIR

leader at Antelope, stated yes
terday on her return from the
fair. The girls took a number of
firsts besides many other
awards, she said.
In the style review firsts were
won in the blue ribbon group
by Janet Charley, Lake Creek
better dress division; Joan Den
ney. Oak Grove, informal party
dress division: and Patty von

the school dress division.
Other firsts were won by Mil

Miss von der Hellen had a lit
tle bad luck this year with her
fat lamb entry. The lamb got
sick and the rainy weather pre
vailing at the fair most of the
week didn't improve it any, Mrs.
Bradshaw related. Even so, the
lamb received second prize rat
ing. Last year Miss von der Hel

lamb division.
Club members returning yes

FIRST AT U-BOAT
(Continued Prom Page One)
Truth Challenged
Senator Capper (H-Kas). a
member of the senate foreign
relations committee and one
who has not voted consistently
for administration foreign meas
ures, directly challenged the
truth of the nazi statement.
"My opinion is that the Ger
mans have made some misstate
ments in their communique," he
said. "1 can hardly believe that
the president would order our
warships to attack in an effort
to incite the people into war.
Beyond that, there is little that
can be said until all the facts
are known."
In any event, the German pro
nouncement cleared up any ling
ering doubt as to the nationality
of the submarine involved in
the Incident with the Greer,
something which had to be es
tablished conclusively before
this country could make a diplo
matic protest.
Where the conflicting claims
are concerned, the American
government would, of course,
stand upon the report given to
it by the commanding officer of
the Greer.
New Policy Seen
On the basis of the statement
of the Greer's commander that
the U-boat fired first, there was
speculation in congressional cir
cles whether this was an indica
tion of a new policy on the part
of Germany. Some time ago
Hitler announced that any ships
which his submarines encount
ered in blockade areas would be
sunk. The application of this
policy to American warships,
however, has obviously been
held in abeyance.
Some suggested, that If Ger
many now intended to attack
American ships, its purpose
might be tvo-fold: to increase
the effectiveness of its blockade
of England, and simultaneously
to bolster its axis-partner Japan.
Since Germany Invaded Rus
sia, Japan has become surround
ed with actual or potential ene
mies. Moreover, the United
States is shipping war supplies
between the islands of the Jap
anese archipelago to Vladivos
tok and the Russian army.
German U-boat activities
against American naval vessels
on the Atlantic, if continued and
made general, might have the
effect of attracting American
ships from the Pacific to the At
lantic, consequently easing the
pressure on Japan.
inere was a disposition on
the part of some to believe that
the uermans actually were
without any knowledge of the
Greer incident beyond what has
been disclosed by the American
government.
Expressing this view, Connal-
ly said the German communi
que was merely "a ruse to make
it appear that the U-boat had
not been sunk."
