Only two cases have been found in the army in which such envelopes actually have been opened by censors it was said. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson told his news conference earlier that in the 268 cases the outer envelopes containing the ballots had been opened by cen sors and that in two cases the in ner envelopes had been opened. The war department, however, said later that subsequent check nig showed this to be an in correct report. Grange and Labor Join Support of Bank Amendment Portland, Oct. 13 Organized labor and the Oregon State Grange have joined the Oi'cgon Bankers association, Portland Chamber of Commerce and numerous civic groups in sup porting the constitutional amend ment to be submitted to the vot ers on November 7 which would remove the dual liability for stockholders of state banks, J. B. Booth, chairman of the commit tee supporting the plan, an nounces. "The proposed amend ment," said Mr. Booth, "makes it possible for Oregon state banks to enjoy the same oppor tunity to improve the capital structure that is now afforded the banks of 45 other stutcs in the union." Since the enactment of the federal deposit insurance plan available to both national and state banks, the dual liability feature has been removed by law from the national banks. Forty-five other states have re moved it from their state banks. The law, as it is submitted to the Oregon voters, provides that state banks van eliminate the dual liability feature, when and if they provide federal deposit insurance. In other words, only such state banks as have the fed eral deposit insurance which pro tects deposits up to $5000 will enjoy the right of removing the dual liability feature.

(Governor Bricker Is sched uled to speak at 5:45 p. m. to day from the rear platform of his special train at the Medford depot.) By Charles B. Deggei United Press Correspondent Aboard Bricker Campaign Train. Oct. 13. (U.R) Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio will wind up his campaign for Ore gon's six electoral votes today after coming out for U. S. main tenance of bases to protect Amer ican interests "around the world (f necessary," The Republican vice presiden tial nominee will make only three rear-platform talks today on the eve of his entrance into California. Bricker will chat with railroad station gatherings at Roseburg, Grants Pass and Medford and Ashland, during his final day in Oregon. He will meet Gov. Earl Warren of California at Sacra mento tomorrow noon, speak at luncheon there, and make a ma jor address at San Francisco to morrow night. Talks At Eugene The governor's endorsement of protective bases was made last night at Eugene, Ore., when he told a press conference that the United States "should maintain bases within our sphere of re sponsibility." ' In response to newsmen's questions, he explained that he meant "sphere of responsibility to trade and security." "In other words," he was asked, "if our trade extended around the world ." "We should maintain bases wherever our interests lie," Interests lie," Bricker completed the question. However, he quickly added that he did not "necessarilj mean "military" bases in every ocean and on every continent but "bases from which we could protect our spheres everywhere." Not Imperialism , "And there's no imperialistic design in that either," he said. Bricker declared that his views on world bases did not mean that he endorsed the pending bill In troduced by Sen. Kenneth Mc Kellar, D., Tenn., which, he ex plained, "might go too far". The McKellar measure calls for American acquisition of Japa nese mandated islands between the equator and the 33d parallel In the Pacific. Brickcr's final formal speech In Oregon was delivered last night at the University of Ore gon, in Eugene, where hundreds of students greeted him with a torct) light parade. He charged that bureaucrats were "stuffed to the suffocation .point" into cities throughout the nation. He demanded that the bureaucratic system "patchwork" be "taken apart and streamlined govern ment substituted." Bureaucrats Victims He defended the "bureaucrats" ai. "victims of the system" and said that only the system should be indicted, that many of the in dividuals "are trying to do their jobs honestly and patriotically." Bricker gave "random figures" showing that the state depart ment has 23 major and 53 minor divisions; the interior department 27 and the agriculture depart ment 31 separate divisions. There are 62 independent offices and establishments, exclusive of war agencies, he said. "This patchwork of bureaus must be tnken apart," Bricker asserted. "The government must be reorganized and governmental functio is streamlined. This is an. other reason why this nation needs a change of leadership." Us.
