HITLER REACHES HIGHEST POINT OF LONG CAREER (Continued From Page One) wives were seated around a table in this order: (German) Field Mryhal Her mann Wilhelm Goering, Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, Von Rib- , bentrop, (French) Rear Admiral Maurice Athanase Le Luc, Gen eral Charles Buntziger, Leon Noel, General of Aviation Jean ; Marie Joseph Bergeret, (German) ; iiess ana JieiteL The French listened silently wnue &eiiei read. Then they filed out to their tent to, telephone their govern ment - Hitler reviewed an honor guard outside the car while the band thumped out German an thems; then left Compiegne as wiftly as he had arrived. Rosa in Greeting When the French delegates en tered the old car, Hitler and his staff rose to greet them in con trast, German officials asserted, to the manner in which the Ger man delegates were greeted in 1918. Then, it was declared, the Victorious French did not rise. Hitler and his staff gave the nazi salute and the fuehrer ask ed Keitel to read the preamble. The general immediately began. Beside the officials present, the only others to witness the ceremony were German and for eign newspapermen and officials of the foreign office and the propaganda ministry. Only the preamble, with its statement of broad purposes, was made public immediately. The detailed terms for the armistice which the French took to their tent were not disclosed at once. German authorities previous ly had said the terms would not be published until France had accepted or rejected them. A guard greeted the fuehrer as he arrived at the railway car. Views Monument After saluting the Alsace-Lor raine monument, Hitler walked down a long lane In the hot sun to where another monument to Marshal Foch stands in commenv oration of the 1918 armistice. With arms folded, Hitler look ed at the inscriptions, then quickly entered the car. Dr. Paul Schmidt, the fuclv rer's famous interpreter, read a French translation of the pre amble after the German version was read by Keitel. After Hitler's departure Kei tel and the general staff officers remained in the railway coach to discuss technical details of the capitulation. At 4:24 p. m. (8:34 p. m. PST) the French left the car for the nearby tent where telephone, writing and other facilities were provided them. OFFER SECRET L m ANSWER DECIDED UPON (Continued From Page One) the complete demilitarization of the French. 2 To obtain full guarantees "necessary for continuance of the war against Great Britain." This indicates French industries. materials and wealth will be taken over by Germany to fight England. 3 To produce "pre-conditions for a new European peace. Immediately after the reading of the preamble. Hitler depart ed amid the strains of "Deutsch land Uber Alles." Not Conquered The preamble asserted that the allies in the world war, support ed by American troops, "did not successfully in any way conquer the German army, navy or air force." A question of the peace was the fate of the French navy. whether if Hitler demanded it, France could hand it over for the renewed "battle of England.1 Besides peace with Germany, France faces the issue of peace with Italy. Premier Mussolini, following an appeal by France for a separate armistice, agreed to set a time and place for de livery of terms as soon as the French government appointed plenipotentiaries. F FLEET MAY REVOLT (Continued from Page One) west of Grenoble with heavy losses. BERLIN, June 21 UP) Ger many's military machine shoved steel spearheads deeper Into France "on schedule" today. Reports of additional booty came as hey mopped up sec tions of the Maginot line and took new places in Normandy, Brittany and the region between the Loire estuary and the Rhone valley. The newspaper Der Angriff said two 35,000-ton French bat tleships, the Clemenceau and the Richelieu, were seized at Brest, where they are being built. The high command reported these successes: capture or 700 brand new tanks at Nevoy, near Gien; the sinking by submarines of four British merchant ships, one of tnem a Royal Mail steamer of 11,000 tons, and the sinking by fighting and dive-bombing air units of a 10,000-ton transport ana a 4000-ton auxiliary war ship in the Girone estuary. DECLARES AID TO ALLIES IE OF TIFF S (Continued from Page One) he was opposed to "stripping our defenses to aid the allies." Probe Advised "We should learn if that Is true," Vandenberg said, adding that the views of Stimson on the samo subject also should be learned. Senator Clark (D-Mo.) broke in to suggest that the White House make public Woodring's letter of resignation. Ho con tended the White House state ment that the Woodring letter was "too personal" to give out was a "subterfuge." In the house. Rep. Carlson (R-Kan.), asked a congressional investigation of what he termed Woodring's "dismissal." His res olution also contemplated that the investigators "determine what influences are at work in our nation to involve us in the European war." The senate military commit tee today ordered hearings on President Roosevelt's nomina tion of Henry L. Stimson to be war secretary, and Stimson himself will be called to testify As a momentus senate debate over foreign and defense poli cies shaped up around the Stim son appointment and that of Col. Frank Knox to be secre tary of the navy, it appeared there would be no action on confirmation for more than a week. Republicans Call Probe Chairman Sheppard (D-Tex.) said that Stimson would be called for testimony "in a week or so" and it was expected to be at least that long until the naval committee acts on the Knox nomination. The naval group will hold its first meet ing on the subject tomorrow. Members of the military com mittee said that demands for hearings on Stimson came chief ly from republicans but that once such a procedure was de cided upon there was no oppo sition to calling the nominee himself. Both Stimson and Knox are in frank agreement with Presi dent Roosevelt s program of ma terial aid to the allies. To critics who charged that he was setting up a "war cab inet," the chief executive re plied in a statement last night- The appointments to the cabinet are in line with the overwhelming sentiment of the nation for national solidarity in time of world crisis and in be half of national defense and nothing else." The surprise nominations, which flabbergasted many mem bers of both major parties both in and out of congress, brought immediate speculation that cab inet reorganization might be continued with retirement of Miss Frances Perkins as secre tary of labor. There was no comment in administration circles. Called I NNS ( L El CLOSES 1940 MEET (Continued from Page One) can be made for any office on the referendum ballot.

NOT ALL AWARE A large percentage of the adult population of the world Is unaware of the fact that the sots apparently rise and set, the same as the sun and moon. According to the army air corps. 400 cadets will be need ed every six weeks until the class entering late in Septem ber, 1940. Traveling flying cadet examining boards will soon start on a tour of various corps areas to enroll candidates. In order to obtain more ac curate wind tunnel findings on the new Boeing Stratoliner, a $16,000 model was built and tested. The research model was one-tenth of the size of the actual plane. Delegates elected the follow ing to the referendum election counting board: J. W. MacClem ents and Alice Wesllng, hoth of Portland; C. L. Jolly, Oregon City. A strong stand favoring the national defense program, voic ed repeatedly during the con clave, will be carried on by a national defense committee, created by passage of a resolu tion Friday morning. President Gurske announced the appoint ments will be announced next week In Portland. The delegates also adopted a resolution opposing sale or transfer of American ships to foreign registry unless replaced by ships made by American workmen. This resolution was adopted as a substitute to a resolution which sought a new trade agreement with Japan. Other resolutions were adopt ed asking vigorous organization or unorganized workers, with a plea for immediate organize tlonal work In the Rogue River valley, and thanking the city of Klamath Falls, local labor or ganizations, the school board press and radio for courtesies and facilities extended during the convention. The executive board Is also considering resolutions con demning the federal government for its classification of laborers on a Panama Canal project, op posing a ban on dog races in Oregon, and seeking alterations In the federation's per capita tax. Biggest stumbling block to an early end of the five-day meet ing was a PUD controversy, which was closed Thursday after two hours of argument when the delegates voted adop tion or a minority report ap proving the formation of Public Utility districts "so long as the Interests of all organized labor in Oregon are protected." Fred Irwin, business agent of the Portland Electrical Workers union. No. 125. took the lead in arguments against endorsement of PUD until safeguards are placed in the state law guaran teeing the rights of workers. He charged that sponsors of the measure approved all of labor's demands except that part guar anteeing a signed contract. "We have never issued a state ment aglnst public ownership," he said. "We realize labor is friendly toward public owner ship and we are too when we can get results." Others opposing the measure were J. Scott Milne, Portland, vice president of the electrical workers of the Pacific coast, and G. O. Hunter, vice president of the Portland central labor coun cil and executive board member of the state federation. Tha adopted resolution fol lows: "Whereas, tha full bcnoflts of Bonneville power have not and cannot accrue to the people of Oregon except by non-profit dis tribution, and whereas, low cost power is of vital Importance to the future Industrial wclfuro of Oregon, so that Oregon Industry may maintain adequate wage scales and yet compete with other sections of tha northwest, therefore be it resolved by this Oregon Stato Federation of La bor In convention assembled in Klamath Falls, Ore., ro-assert- Ing our former stand on the dis tribution of publicly produced clectrlciil energy, approve the formation of People's Utility districts in Oregon, so long as the Interests of all organized labor are protected." Heated argument preceded adoption of a constitutional amendment requiring all dele gates or their alternates to be citizens of the United States and not a party to or believer in tho precepts of any subvers ive organization. Opponents to the amendment asserted that many AFL organ izations are International In scope and that delegates there fore must include aliens. They argued, further, that the AFL would take action to overrule the amendment. A roll-call vote passed the amendment 131 to 20. Another Important constitu tional ajnendment was passed providing two-year terms of of fice, Instead of one-year terms, for officers of the state federa tion. The vote was 137 In favor and 14 against the amendment takes effect In 1941. By a vote of 108 to fl, delegates passed another amendment to require withdrawn or suspended unions to pay the current month per capita tax and a sum equival ent to two months before being readmitted.

Undoubtedly the British will do exactly that If the German threat of Invasion Is carried out. And with some two mil lion men already under anna, tha little Island should give a good account of Itself. "Weeks and Watks" There still remains, however, the grim and perhaps more dangerous threat of starvation through tho air and aubmnrlno blockade which the Germans In tend to Impose with all their power. We must remember thst England Is dependent on sea borne Imports for more than seventy-five per cent of her foodstuffs, British Food Minister Lord i Woolton Informed the house of lords Wednesday that the coun try has enough of the most es sential food to last "for weeks and weeks," even if nothing else comes Into the country. He added: "Up and down the country. In places we hope huve been kept secret, we have stored ra tions to be used only In great emergency." Is It Enough? That statement was meant to be reassuring, but It scared me. Food supplies for "weeks and weeks" aren't sufficient for a country of more than forty-six million population under siege. I saw England on short rations In the World war. Indeed, dur ing the German unrestricted submarine warfare of 1916-17 the allies came as close as could be to losing the conflict. The Germans now are within bombing distance of every port In the united kingdom. The entire south and east coasts are threatened from the large num ber of comparatively near air- All U. S.
