systematic policy of pin-pricks,
challenges, humiliations and
ven moral aggression.
"Tha relch government is,
therefore, centering its entire
attention upon this problem."
The conference was one of
the most serious ever held by
the spokesman.
Cross was speaking, he said,
at the moment when "Great
Britain is in a death struggle."
The German government for
some time has become accus
tomed to formulations by Amer
ican officialdom which "are
guided by certain rabullstic
characteristics," the spokesman
said.
"Demands and interpretations
are launched as though actions
contemplated did not fall with
in the scope of practices defined
by international law."
Unbearable
The English-American discus
sions over the United States as
sistance to Great Britain have
become Increasingly interestingt
the German spokesman added,
because it is unbearable for
Germany to let things drift fur
ther. The importance of the Wil
helmstrasse spokesman's utter
ances may be gauged by the fact
that there are several rumors
in press circles that Foreign
Minister Von Ribbentrop him
self was originally intended to
come before the foreign press
to give the German reaction to
the Cross proposal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (P)
Secretary Hull declined today fo
comment on statements made in
Berlin to the effect that Germany
would consider it an unfriendly
act if the United States requisi
tioned foreign flag ships now in
American ports and sold them
to the British government. The
secretary was asked at his press
conference if he would give the
views of tha American govern
ment on the question and replied
in the negative.

"Flreilde Chat"
With the public's interest fo
cused on the big job of produc
ing arms and military equip
ment, it was learned from usu
ally well-Informed quarters out
side the White House that the
president was considering a
"fireside chat" on the status of
the program. There was no In
dication when It might be given.
The new four-man board will
be given full responsibility to
make decisions of policy, with
out conferring with tho presi
dent. But, said Mr. Roosevelt,
if any of their decisions went
wrong, he would call in the four
and talk it over with them.
The board, he indicated, will
have all the powers which the
president constitutionally can
turn over to subordinates. Un
der the constitution, he said,
there can be no second presi
dent. The new Lockheed Interceptor
Is reported to have a top speed of
500 miles an hour. The P-38 can
climb 4000 feet a minute, car
ries a one-pound cannon and
five machine guns, and has a
range of 1100 miles.
During the first three quarters
of 1940, American civil airplane
production showed an increase
of 69.7 per cent over the same
period of 1939. A total of 4S43
planes were constructed during
this period.
During 1939 nine of the most
important American aircraft cor
porations had net sales totaling
$255,004,218, as compared to
$171,016,224 In 1938.

OKLAHOMA CITY. (IP)
Butch, a mongrel pup owned by
Henry Van Bu.ikirk, was per
mitted to carry home a can of
dog food.
Now he practically camps at
the store. As soon as a cus
tomer opens the door, Butch
dashes in, grabs a can of the i
same variety and runs home. The
proprietor tried hiding that
brand behind other cans but the
pup dug through the pile and
came up with his favorite.
Chasing the dog did no good.
So the store owner Just adds
each of Butch's "purchases" to
the Van Busk irk account.

press of Klamath county and
the state of Oregon, comment
ing on the "fulrness of the

and said nowspupers in this

have operated with "eminent
fairness."
He asserted that no news
