TWO WARBALLOT
Washington, Oct. 13-iJ.R)
There have been 268 cases dis
covered in the army and navy
in which censors have stamped
war ballot envelopes, the war
department said today. 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.

Vice Presidential Candidate
Winds Up Oregon Cam
paign Today.
(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."
