Newspaper Page TextMAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdford, Oregon, Tuesday, April r, 1938 J ndooessa Loyalist Forces Advance on Two Fronts; Enter West Sumatra Pe Gaulle Expected To Get Call To IHlead France Asain Fans opt A man of silence is looming again to day as France's man of destiny. Nearly 18 years have elapsed since Gen. Charles De Gaulle's historic call to a beaten France on July 18, 1940, to fight on. Today, as France heads to ward a new crisis that many Frenchmen fear could mean the end of the Fourth Repub lic the tall figure of De Gaulle is marching again toward the front of the nation's stage. De Gaulle, now 67, is do ing nothing to hasten his re turn. For nearly five years he has maintained a strict silence watching from his re treat at Colombey-Lcs-Deux-Eglises, 100 miles east of Paris, while one weak middle-of-the-road coalition gov ernment after another has fallen. "De Gaule's great strength today is his silence, com mented one astute French pol itician. Comeback Talk Widespread But talk of a De Gaulle comeback is more widespread today than at any time since he quit as government chief in 1945 frustrated and anger ed by the refusal of French politicians to accept his ideas of a "strong" French regime headed by a chief of state with powers as sweeping as those of the President of the United States. Many French politicians to day fear a return of De Gaulle to power. They regard him as too "autocratic." Some also fear that De Gaulle could not null France ' out of its Algerian and AA A n A s . tiff v . ft 1 GALLON PICNIC JUG NOW ONIY $349 Save 81 ( now! Has spout for asy pouring.

As one French deputy said: Majority Against De Gaulle "In a vote today for or against De Gaulle, not 20 per cent of the National Assembly would vote for him as gov ernment chief." But ask what would happen if France is plunged into a prolonged, insoluble govern ment crisis, or if the Algerian war drags on another six months, or if there is Com munist or extreme . rightist rioting and you get a dif ferent answer. , Those who know the World War II resistance leader best say he himself is more and more convinced his hour is ap proaching again. But, above all, they say he will return only if he is invited by an overwhelming majority of French political leaders and in no case as the result of a military coup. About 150 Attend Chrome Mining Industry Meeting Cave Junction About 150 miners and others interested in a continued market for chrome , met in Cave Junc tion March 29 to form a united front for the southern Oregon and northern California chrome, met in Cave Junc- mg as temporary chairman of the group was Bruce Man- ley, Medford attorney. J. W. Pressler, consulting mining engineer, Grants Pass, served as acting secretary. With two objectives in mind, (1) getting a temporary extension of the government's chrome buying program for the stockpile; and (2) discuss ing plans for the establish ment of a ferro-chrome refin ing plant in southern Oregon, the group elected six raembers to an interim or fact finding committee, and ten members to. a committee which will lay j the groundwork for a perma-' nent miners' organization in this area. On the interim committee are Fayette Bristol of Grants Pass, owner of the Rogue Silica plant, and state repre sentative from Josephine county; Eugene Brown, O'Brien, and E, V. Cooke, Cave Junction, Illinois Valley chrome miners; Manley, Colin McClendon, Crescent City and J. W. Pressler. Members of tlve organiza tion committee are Elwood Hussey, owner of Brown town, a gold mining area near Holland; Manley, J. W. Pressler, Les Childs, Grants Pass, a member of the State Board of geology; Dorothy Kartes, Canyonville; Roy Gardner, Eureka; A. L. Roy, Gold Beach; J. Hogue, Yreka; Walter Freeman, Cave Junc tion . and Frank Grover, Grants Pass. Committee reports, and the formation of a permanent or ganization will be made at the next miners' meeting at the Cave Junction American Legion hall, Saturday, April 26, at 2 p.m. At the suggestion of Les Childs, a petition asked the U. S. government to retain a program which will enable chrome mining to continue as a profitable industry in the west, was formulated at the meeting and signed by those present. The petition has been sent to the executive department of congress. Factory Workers Sticking To Jobs Washington (IP) The La bor Department reports that fewer factory workers quit their jobs in February than in any month since World War II. The "quit rate" dropped to 6 per 1,000 in February, re flecting the limited number of job opportunities. Factory layoffs declined "substantially" last month from high January levels, the department said. They skidded from 38 per 1,000 in January to 27 per 1,000 last month. Hirings also dropped slightly last month. The department said layoffs dropped most in, the previous ly hard-hit heavy manufactur ing plants. Aircraft plants re ported a pickup in hiring and some decline in layoffs. The seal of Chicago con tains a shield, an Indian, a ship, a sheaf of wheat and a Loyal Column Cuts Oil Route To Palembang Singapore (IPl Indone sian Loyalists advancing on two fronts have entered West Sumatra, driving within 65 miles of the rebel strongholds of Padang and Bukittingi, the Jakarta government said to day. An Army announcement said loyalists moving south westward from Pakanbaru marched unopposed Saturday into Bangkinang, 60 miles northeast of Bukittingi. At the same time, Jakarta said, a loyal column driving west from Rengat seized- Sun gailangsat, 65 miles west of Padang, and cut the oil route leading southeastward across Sumatra to neutral Palem bang. Late Monday night, high rebel officials in Bukittingi told the United Press that in surgent counterattacks in the Taluk-Lubuk Djamibi area east of Sungailangsat, were holding the loyalists back from the Palembang road. Reports Denied Reports that Jakarta was receiving arms from the Com munist world continued to circulate here despite con sistent loyalist denials. One usually reliable source said today President Sukar no's regime has signed muni tions contracts with Czecho slovakia. Radio reports from the U. S.-operated oil fields of cen tral Sumatra said that a "wave of lawlessness and thievery" is sweeping Caltex Company installations. An unidentified American official was quoted as saying that armed bands moved" into offices and other installations Sunday and "intimidated the guards, broke down doors and took what they pleased." All Americans have been evacu ated from the installation. airyclh Claims Tor, Reduction Tolly' Rogue River Boy Struck by Automobile Rogue River Garry Moore, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Moore, route 1, Rogue River, suffered bruises when he ran in front of mov ing car in downtown Rogue River Saturday, according to Police Chief Wes Peters. Moore . was taken to Jose phine General ' hospital in Grants Pass. Driver of the car was A. Allen Eastgate, 612 Farragut St., Medford, police said. The boy ran out from between parked cars, they added. Washington (IF) Financier Bernard M. Baruch warned today that a federal tax cut would be "folly" and urged labor and management to pledge a freeze on wages and prices. The famed adviser to presi dents advised the Senate Fi nance committee: "Inflation, gentlemen, is the most important economic fact of our time the single great est peril to our economic health." In a prepared statement, Baruch said the road to na tional economic health in cludes these steps: "Determining the require ments of national security and doing all that is needed to meet them." "Barring new inflation ary adventures. Foregoing tax reductions. Avoiding deficit spending." "Strengthening the credit of government by refusing the debt on a long-term basis and planning definite amortiza tion." "Stopping the price-wage spiral and the abuse of credit." Baruch said -the recession "is the inevitable aftermath of a period of inflation that could at least have been miti gated, if not prevented." "There is no cause for alarm if we will learn from our mistakes and call a halt to the practices which are re sponsible for this situation," the elder statesman said. A tax reduction, said Ba ruch, "will increase the defi cit, add to the debt, and fur ther weaken the government's credit. To reduce revenues be fore our defenses are secure and our debt manageable is uneconomic and immoral." Any new public works pro gram to fight the recession should be placed on a self liquidating basis, Baruch urg ed. Local action would be more effective than federal steps in such projects, he added. "Local governments can best survey their own situations." "It would be an inspiring and salutary thing if the lead ers of our great labor unions and businesses would jointly pledge to the President that for one year there will be no increase in wages or prices and that profit margins would at least be frozen," he said. Baruch called for individu al self-restraint in private Ky CANDIES $ tiifcJvTr PERFECTS 1 jgif EASTER I jSk Gay Easter Basket Filled wirh fresh Easter.

"Its excessive growth," he said, "has been one of the major factors in our pres ent difficulties and is one of the weak links in our eco nomic chain." "I have often been shocked by the lengths to which banks, merchants and advertisers go to press credit upon the con sumer with which to buy things they can be persuaded to want, but do not need," the financier said. Discussing inflation, Baruch said th problem "follows from the selfish struggle for special advantage among pres sure groups. Each seeks tax cuts or price increases or age raises for itself while urging the other to make the sacri fices and with little regard for the national interest." The recession, Baruch said, ways the case with hang is "a hangover after a long I overs, we have only ourselves inflationary binge. As is al-1 to blame."
