(Continued From Page One) ing to official information here, German and Italian activities in Latin American countries are be ing directed toward inculcating nail and fascist doctrines, en couraging potential "fifth col umns," and fomenting opposition to inter-American policies or plans for unified hemisphere de fense. "To date the Spanish falangist propogandists appear to have ac complished very little." an in formed source said, "but they are increasing and expanding their activities among the Span ish speaking peoples of the American republics and might become a menace to American solidarity unless they are ex posed." y PURE KILLSJIAIIEN (Continued From Page One) out" in the area, some 35 miles southeast of here, and reports of neighboring ranchers led a belief the pilot might have gotten off his radio beam. Residents of the Simpson ranch two miles from White mountain, the crash scene, said they heard a plane being "gunned" to gain altitude a few moments before they heard an explosion, and this brought the observation that a pilot off his beam, be lieving himself over San Diego because of a xone of silence, might have started down, real ized his position and attempted to climb out of danger. The craft struck just 20 feet below the ridge, exploded and burned. Wreckage was hurled over the top of the 3000-foot granite summit and scattered over a half-mile area. The wreckage was found at 7:30 a. m. (PST.) yesterday, about 13 hours after the crash. The big plane, en route to the naval air station here, carried three members of a board of in quiry appointed to investigate the Texas accident, and the four survivors of that previous mis hap. , .w , The four had parachuted to safety when their bomber, being ferried from here to Pensacola, Fla, by way of Corpus Christi, Tex, encountered a severe storm. A fifth crew member "bailed out" but was killed when his 'chute failed to open. The pilot and co-pilot, who risked their lives to ride out the storm and land the ship on a small pond, proved ultimately to be the only survivors of the seven aboard the bomber. The dead were Lt.-Comdr. Joseph Henry Gowan, 54, Head Hill, Ark, pilot; David Everett Ferguson, 33, Neponset, W. Va., co-pilot; Lt. Comdr. Stephen Bland Cooke, 42, Harrison, Ark., Lieut. Victor S. Gaulin, 34, Lowell, Mass., and Lieut. James Cyril Flemming, 36, Reading, Pa., members of the board of inquiry; Frank Recke Jr- 30, National City, Calif., L. J. Hughes, 30, Grand Rapids, Mich., H. E. Neff, 34, San Diego, and A. M. Parry, 31, Los Angeles, survivors of the Texas mishap; and Marvin Magee, 32, Long Beach, N. J, and Frank Richard Naylor, 25, Dayton, Ky., crew members of the wrecked trans port plane. CONGRESSMEN APPROVE F. R.'S DEFENSE TALK (Continued From Page One) ry out the will of the president's speech means war and dictator ship in this country and what can be worse?" Rep. Marcantonio (AL-N. Y.) called it "a big push in the blitzkrieg against the peace and freedom of the American peo ple, with demagoggery as the major weapon." Other comment: Senator Tobey (R-N. H.): "It did not contain a great deal of factual Information about the progress of the defense pro gram." Senator Ellender (D-La.): "The president covered too much ter ritory when he outlined plans to try to give the whole world the kind of life we have in this country."

Gavel PresanUd County Judge U. E. Reeder presented the gavel to Judge Vandenberg just before the lat ter swore in new county officials, as well as several justices of the peace and constables elected last November. The officials include County Clerk Mae K. Short, Sheriff Lloyd L. Low, Treasurer Chester Langslet, County Com missioner John Reber, and Dr. George Adler, coroner. In calling the docket, there appeared to be s number of cases on which affidavits of prejudice had been filed against retiring Judge Ashurst, but on which no orders for new judges had been signed. A list of these cases was made up and inquiry will be made of the supreme court about them by the clerk. Concerning affidavits, Judge Vandenberg said he wanted the attorneys to feel free at any time to disqualify him as judge in this manner, but to expedite matters, orders should be sent to court without the affidavits.

We know that endur ing peace, cannot be bought at tho cost of other people's free dom." "Four Freedoms" Tho "four essential humun freedoms" were described by thu president as "tho very antithe sis of tho so-culled new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb." He described theso "freedoms" "The first Is freedom of speech and expression every where in the world. "The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere In the world. "The third is freedom from want which, trunsluted Into world terms, menus economic understandings which will se cure to every nation a healthy pence time life for its inhabi tants everywhere In the world "The fourth Is freedom from fear which, tianslated Into world terms, means a world wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thor ough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor anywhere in the world." In terse phrases, the president warned congress and the coun try against what he called "ap peasement." "As a nation wo may take pride In the fact that ' we are soft-hearted," ho said, "but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.
