Seeks Post With
Lone Star Hangers
PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 21 ()
Those tough cowpunchera down
Lone Star way will have to say
"Yes, ma'am" to ono Texas
ranger If Evelyn Frances McDon
ald gets her wish.
If they don't Well, Evelyn
Frances thinks she'll be able to
handle the situation.
The husky miss just finished
up a littlo Job of timber falling
in an eastern Oregon lumber
camp and Is looking for new
fields to conquer. Texas fields
preferred.
Miss McDonald who Is 22, said
she went to the Fir Mountnln
logging camp as a cook, "But when
a fallor learned that I had
chopped down trees with my fath
er In southern Cnlifornln, he asked
me to work with him."
Tho modern Paulino Banyan did
all right, too, sue said, until somo
of the boys got a little upset over
having a woman doing their work.
"Rather than have any trouble,
I left camp," she related.
Police work provided the next
lure, bo Miss McDonald sent au
application to tho Texas rangers.
Now sho Is waiting hopefully for
tho answer.
She's not at all dismayed be
cause tho rangers have been noted
In the past as a rather exclusive
band of males. The question of
physical fltnesa was dropped
when Evelyn Frances flexed her
muscles. She says she can hnndlo
a mean brono as well as awing an
axe.
And the girl Is determined.

Germany Sees Another Po
land on Dardanelles
in Russian Talk
' WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (P)
Senator Reynolds (D-NC), an
nouncing he was opposed to re
peal of the arms embargo, told
the senate today, that, in- the
sinking of the British liner
Athenia, "the finger of guilt
more clearly points to soviet
Russia than to any other nation."
"Fantastic though it may
seem," the North Carolinian as
serted, "it is certainly -less fan
tastic than some of the other
startling surprises of the past
several months which already are
proved beyond any question.
Russia profits
"Whllo at tho moment most
Americans believe that Germany
sank the Athenia, there has not
been published a shred of con
crete evidence to prove this."
"But In the absence of . con
crete evidence." Reynolds con
tinued, "there Is a much stronger
circumstantial case against Rus
sia than any other nation . i . .
Let ns remember that the two
principle enemies of Russia are
Germany and Great Britain. What
could be sweeter than to help
shove them into a life and death
struggle from which Russia could
pick up tho profits with little
or no cost to herself?'
, Reynolds said that it the Rus
sians did sink the Athenia "they
must have chuckled with glee
when they figured the entire
world would blame It on their
German ally and not on the Rus
sians."
' The North Carolinian, who had
not previously- announced his
position on the administration
neutrality bill, said that while
he favored many of Its provisions
he thought repeal of the arms
embargo would be "unwise and
dangerous."
"I will be compelled," he add
ed, "to follow what I conceive
to he my obligation as a senator
of tho united States fand not
of Europe and the world) to
vote against sucn repeal."

dynaihlted a small steel tootbrlde
spanning tho river near the electric
plant at Ketnas, 12 miles north of

The bridge waa used in peace

crossed daily to the Kembs re

the fall of 1938 when these work

by French employes.
By The Associated Fresa
Soviet Russia, unsuccessful ne
gotiator with Turkey, broke her
silence today on tha Ankara pact
with a declaration in the govern
meat newspaper that Britain and
France "drew Turkey into tha
orbit of war."
The newspaper Izrestla assert
ed Russia herself had thwarted
alleged plans to drive a wedge
between the German-Russian
partnership by falling to negotiate
a parallel pact with Turkey.
It warned that Turkey "as
sumed such a responsibility
which cannot but tell upon her
policy in the very near future."

aea, but over Turkey herself
in expressing a belief Turkey
probably would be carved up.
Air raid alarms were sounded
in the Grimsby and Hull area on
England's east coast, and In

A German announcement de

that the failure of German troops
to cross Into France in drlviug

' "England and France have

"They threw down the gaunt
