C, Oct. 2. -I say to Douglas, 'If you don't keep still, you are going to be brought to Washington some day and be compelled to reveal what you have behind those (insur ance) policies." " . "If you don't keep still;" thus Senator Nye recently threatened Lewis W. Douglas, head of the great Mutual Life Insurance company. Why? "The newest fear" said the senator, "has been started by Lewis Douglas he has declared that if Hitler should win the war, an insur ance policy would not be worth the paper it is written upon." a IT is possible not to agree with the opinions of either of these gentlemen. In the present hys teria both of them are hopping pretty high. Certainly the argu ment about Insurance on both sides is likely to cause unwar ranted fear and even panic among many people whose only security is insurance for which they have saved and sacrificed for many years. Put that aside for moment. It is this "if you don't keep still" business threat ened by an influential senator that should give the public the greatest concern. There are more kinds of cen sorship and gag-rules than one to choke-off freedom of expres sion and debate in these terrible times. We can't afford to permit any kind of gags or censorship at all. , The senator is a member 01 a senate sub-committee which, direct authority from the senate, is seeking to censor motion pictures by con- (Contlnuod, ot Page Tn LET HIGHWAYl ON LITTLE BUTTE Salem, Oct. 2. & Contract for surfacing and oiling 4.0. miles of the Salt Creek-Hanley ranch section of the Little Butte secondary highway in Jackson county was awarded by the state highway commission today to No'rris Bros., Seattle, on a low bid of $48,660.

SCORES EXECUTED I TO Dread Gestapo Works Over time in Occupied Lands Reds Smash Ukraine Push (By Associated Press) A Greek uprising with ma chineguns, hand grenades and revolvers in Bulgarian-occupied Macedonia was reported today as German firing squads and public hangings were credited w;th snuffing out the lives of 170 anti-Nazi conspirators in Hungary, Belgium and old Czecho-Slovakia. The Germans asserted that an inciDient Czech revolt in Bo- hemia-Coldavia was "in hand' as 39 new death sentences were handed down in the Nazi pro tectorate. However, two German avia tors were reported shot in a dark street in Zagreb, the capi tal of the old Yugoslav state of Croatia. A recent government decree rjrovides for the execu tion of 10 "Communists" for each such attack. Gestapo Kept Busy With Europe's millions chaf ing bitterly under the yoke of Nazi conquest, German execu tioners and the dread Gestapo have been forced to work over time in the occupied countries Slipping through the night to kill, burn, wreck and spy on German occupying forces, con spirators by the thousands have challenged Hitler's regime in Norway, France, Belgium, Hol land, Yugo-Slavia, Greece, Ru mania, Bulgaria and elsewhere. Germany usually says these are Communists. Resorting to the "hostages" system of reprisal executing men in Jail for anti-Nazi at tacks committed by others Germany has threatened to re taliate against the whole popu lace for assaults on Nazi sol diers, has executed Dutch and Belgians by the score for aiding British fliers, and has shot or hanged untold hundreds who refuse to submit to German rule. French Restive In little Croatia alone, tens ef thousands of Serbs are re ported to have launched guer rilla warfare against the axis- sponsored regime. Some observ ers returning from Europe have predicted a French revolt within four months, while the Dutch news agency reported that sabo tage and anti-Nazi demonstra tions were on the increase throuehout Holland. Other major developments on the international scene included: 1. Russia's Red armies report ed smashing an attempted break through by great masses of Ger man troops on the southern , (Ukraine) front 2. Advices reaching London said violent fighting raged at the bottleneck gateway to the Crimea oenlnsula. key to con trol of Black sea waters, with the Germans making extremely slow progress southward. 3. Adolf Hitlers high com mand asserted that Nazi war- i planes were silencing Russian bunkers, field guns ana xanxs east of the Dnieper river, blast ing path for the advance of German troops pressing on to ward the great Doneta river Industrial basin. 4. In the siege of Leningrad, the Russians said that three Nazi assaults had cost the invaders more than 1,200 killed and wounded without gain and that Intense fighting at close range continued on the perimeter of Leningrad's outer defenses. 5. At sea, the Nazi high com mand reported the sinking of 683.400 tons of British shipping in September, crediting U-boats with the destruction of 452,000 tons.

T IS L' The recent surge of new rumors and wishful tmnKing about the proposed Beagle-Ante lope cantonment blew up today, as so many times In the past, on an authentic statement from a high army officer. The Associated Press report ed that Lieut-Gen. John L. De- Witt, commanding officer of the fourth army, stated that the projected Medford cantonment. well as several others, was still in the planning stage and that he did not know when It would be built or when addi tional army divisions being planned would be activated. The general, in charge of all troops in the west, said that he stood by his statement of Au gust 22 and had nothing to add to it. The general's statement today made clear again that the pro posed cantonment here is still, as it has been from the outset, on an "if, as and when" basis. In other words, army officers have said from the start, the cantonment will be built If, as and when funds for it are ap propriated, the army is In creased and need for the camp arises. In his August 22 statement, made at Longvlew, Wash., Gen. DeWltt announced plana to in crease the fourth army from about 90,000 troops to 260,000, the plans calling for the cre ation of five new "streamlined' divisions. He said that five new cantonments to house the ad ditional troops were being built or planned along the Pacific coast. He specified Medford as one of the places where one of the new divisions would be sta tioned. Army officers have promised from the beginning that the public would be kept informed of any official news regarding construction of the proposed cantonment here.
