SPANISH ACTIONS
IN LATIN AMERICA
WATCHED BY U. S.
(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

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.,

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

Senator Ellender (D-La.): "The

County Judge U. E. Reeder

peace and constables elected last
November. The officials include
County Clerk Mae K. Short,

missioner John Reber, and Dr.
George Adler, coroner.
In calling the docket, there
appeared to be s number 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.

"Third, by un linpressivo ex
pression of the public will ai)d
without regard to partisanship,
wo are committed to tho propo
sition that principles of morality
and considerations for our own
security will never permit ui to
acquiesce in a peace dictated by
aggressors and sponsored by op

ing peace, cannot be bought at
tho cost of other people's free

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

"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

pride In the fact that ' we are
soft-hearted," ho said, "but we
cannot afford to be soft-headed.
"We must always be wary
of those who with sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal preach the
'ism' of appeasement.
"We must especially beware
of that small group of selfish
men who would clip the wings
of the American caglo in order
to feather their own nests."
To make the United States
safe," Mr. Roosevelt said "the
immediate need is a swift and
driving increase in our arma
