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."

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."

IS GIVEN STUDY
Means of Applying Brakes
On Inflation Urged By
Wallace Solons Ponder.
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.
