PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1941. ARMISTICE RITES Ml FOR IIS. FUTURE President and Official Fam ily Stress Perils of Nation In War-Torn World, By the AuocUUd PrtM The United States honored the memory of its world war dead yesterday in Armistice day observances that reflected grave concern for the future. President Roosevelt and mem bers of his official family all stressed In their addresses the perils which they feared for the nation in a strife-torn world. Mr. Roosevelt participated In the annual ceremonies at the tomb of the unknown soldier and then spoke in the Arlington cemetery amphitheatre. War, At Any Moment A little later. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles stood before the tomb of Woodrow Wilson in Washington cathedral and declared that "at any mo ment war may be forced upon j." 'Today," he said, "the United States finds itself in far greater peril than it did In 1017" with "the waves of world conquest , . . threatening, more nearly each day that passes, to engulf our own shores. Navy Secretary Knox, dedi cating a big new naval air base at Quonset, R. I., spoke of grave possibilities in the far east and asserted that "our people must understand that grave questions are about to be decided that the hour of decision is here." Sabotage Feared The army's chief of staff, Gen eral George C. Marshall, In a radio broadcast called to the country to be on its guard "We. must be prepared for a sudden and widespread attempt at sab otage directed at the entire mu nitions industry. Including the critical utilities and transporta tion facilities." Sergeant Alvln C. York, the famed doughboy hero of 1917 s Governor Proclaims Nov. 20 As Date for Thanksgiving; Same as Set by Roosevelt Salem, Nov. 12. W-Gover- nor Charles A. Sprague yester day proclaimed November 20 ai Thanksgiving day for Oregon citizens. The date it the same as pro claimed by President Roosevelt and by the governors of most other states. Next year, how ever, the date will be changed back to the traditional last Thursday of the month. The text of the proclamation: "Thursday, the twentieth day of November, 1941, has been appointed day of Thanksgiv ing for the united states oi America by the president thern of, the Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt. Now therefore I, Charles A. Sprague, governor of the state of Oregon, do pro claim said Thursday, the twen tieth day of November next, as Thanksgiving day for Oregon, to be observed as a public holiday. Measured by the statistics of the market-place this year has been prosperous one for all our people. Production of farms and factories has been at high and profitable levels. Labor has been fully employed at wages generally the highest in history. The fevers of prosperity have driven out the chills of the late depression. For these present economic advantages we should be truly grateful. "Nevertheless, the festal qual ity of Thanksgiving is now clouded by threat of war: 'for lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string.' Our usual en joyment of the season is tern pered with anxiety, which is felt the more keenly in homes whence young men have gone into the nation's military serv ice. The satisfactions which fol low the year's abundant har vests are dulled by knowledge of the want and distress en dured by fellow-belngt in lands visited by the scourge of war. "In this time of world trial it is most appropriate for our people to assemble In their cus tomary places of worship, on the day herein appointed, not alcne to thank almighty God for our material blessings, but to give thanks that we as peo ple are sensitive to the suffer lngs of the oppressed In other lands; and to pray that we be not slaves to our own fleshpots, but have the courage to bare the breast and raise the arm. f need be, that the oppressor may be overthrown. It is fitting also, in the midst of universal doubt and despair, that we this occasion to light anew the candles of our faith in the fath erhood of God and the ultimate brotherhood of man. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the state of Oregon to be affixed. "Done in the city of Salem this tenth day of November, tn the year of our lord, nineteen hundred and forty-one. "Charles A. Sprague, Governor." V - ? & lJMA,P?l MM ' KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBOl WHISKEY A.E.F., urged In an address at Evansville, Ind., that the United States declare war immediately. He had harsh words for anti intcrventlonists, dubbing every leader in that movement an 'appeaser of Adolf Hitler." In far-off Manila, Major Gen eral Jonathan Wainwright, com mander of the U. S. army's Phil ippine division, told an Amer ican Legion gathering that the troops in the islands were "ready to combat the forces of evil which now threaten the peace and prosperity of the western hemisphere and the Orient." Taking the contrary view, Norman Thomas, socialist lead er, and Senator Walsh (D., Mass.) used Armistice day ad dresses to challenge the state ments of these speakers. Thomas, at an anti-war rally in New York, besought Ameri cans to dedicate themselves "to carry on the fight against com plete Involvement In war with Japan and Germany." E Jack Albert Saunders of 33S North Riverside avenue was un injured when his car was struck by the locomotive of the north bound Southern Pacific passen ger train at the Main street crossing at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, the automobile being hit on the right rear fender and wheel and not damaged to any great ex tent. Saunders, traveling east on Main street, told city police he was looking for friends on the sidewalk and didn't see the train. The car was driven in front of the train, which was traveling slowly preparatory to stopping at the station.

Washington, Nov. 12 UP) A formula for applying the brakes to inflation and prices through a forced stamp plan sys tem of savings was reported under consideration In adminis tration circles today. The plan, said to have origin ated with Vice President Wal lace, was being studied by some congressional leaders with the thought that it might provide not only a curb on threatened inflationary price increases but also might open a relatively un tapped field for treasury bor rowing. As reportedly outlined by Wallace and others, the scheme would require the retail pur chasers of designated commodi ties to pay for a fixed quantity of defense savings stamps in order to obtain possession of the I article they were buying. Inflation Check Thus a man who desired to get a small $10 radio might be forced to buy $1 worth of de fense savings stamps in order to complete his purchase. When a i consumer had accumulated suf-1 ficient stamps,' he could turnj these in on a government bond which would be cashable after the emergency ended. Wallace was described as con tending that such a program would serve to check inflation ary buying primarily by making the actual cash outlay for pur chases higher. At the same time, the purchaser would be laying aside a portion of his income for expenditures after the emergen cy ended, thus reducing his cur rent buying power. While there would be no con trol of prices as such, advocates were represented as believing that the resulting decline in the demand for commodities on which stamps would have to be purchased would level off prices and prevent the inflationary in creases that accompany spirited bidding for articles that are growing scarcer because of the defense program's demands. DEER WRECKS CAR Tillamook, Nov. 12. (iP) A big buck deer galloped in front of the automobile of Mr, and Mrs. Wilson Applegren near here yesterday. Applegren swerved, the car went over a 50-foot embankment and both occupants had to be hospitalized for lacerations. OLD STAGE ROAD Injuries to her hip, back and pelvis were suffered by Mrs. James Bu;hong of the Old Stage road when she walked into the side of a moving county gravel truck an e'ghth of a mile north of the Willow Springs road in tersection on the Old Stage road this morning, the sheriff's office reported. Her attending physician said x-ray pictures were being taken this afternoon to determine the extent and seriousness of the injuries She also sustained a bruised knee and scratches on the face and head, the doctor said. She was confined in Sacred Heart hospital. The sheriff s office said that Mrs. James was very deaf, and that after obtaining the mail from her mail box she turned and started back across the road to return to her home. At the same moment, according to the sheriff's office, the gravel truck operated by Edward H. Tuttle drove past, and Mrs. James, not hearing or seeing it, walked in to its side and was thrown to the ground. Tuttle stopped the truck, and a passing motorist was hailed to take Mrs. James to the hospital.
