PAGE TWO ppnnpp rnivp BRITAIN NEEDS iinTN 'TOOLnoiiNlWrAi A word picture of England with IU morale high and need ing only the "tools" from Amer ica to win the war wat painted for members of the Kiwanis club Thursday by Dr. F. John Scrog- ' (le, retired London banker and . minister. "Can Hitler win?" asked Dr. Scroggle, and answered his ques tion with the statement that the German chancellor cannot win ' without superiority on the sea and in the air. Admitting Germany's numer- ical superiority In aviation. Dr. Scroggie asserted that statistics show the British have a four-to- one fighting advantage. "There is one word," said the speaker, "that answers all the ' claims that the Germans are su perior in the air. That word is Dunkirk." Dr. Scroggle told of recent exploits of the British fleet to prove that Hitler cannot win on the sea, and he asserted that . British shipping losses have been offset by acquisitions and con struction. The speaker scouted stories that London has been virtually destroyed by German air raids. There have been extensive raids and damage, he said, but Lon don covers a huge area and the destruction has been small in view of the size of the city. Dr. Scroggle said that the ma jority of English people are not "appcasers" but that for a time the leadership of the country was given over to international appeasers. Prime Minister Win ston Churchill, he said, is the leader in the present situation, for he never was in agreement with the appeasement group. George Mclntyre introduced Dr. Scroggie. According to Dr. A. Theodore Smith, requests for talks by Dr. Scroggie have been coming from a number of civic and fraternal organizations, but he and his wife may not be able to respond to all. He is here at the request of the First Presbyterian church and part of his time originally allotted to the church was al lotted elsewhere; U Mrs. Scroggie addressed the Soroptlmist club Thursday giv ing firsthand information as to the activities civic and other wise of the English women in the crisis. Thursday morning Dr. Scrog gie addressed the seniors and juniors at the Klamath Union high school, on his life and work in the great bank of which he was president many years, and as to actual war conditions. It developed that his nephew is in charge of radio communications in "the hot spot" on the British channel. On Friday afternoon Dr. Scrog- i: II in i; mi: i; SPECIALS!

Mrs. Scroggie is to speak to the high school girls at 1 o'clock Friday. The weather permitting the Scroggies will be taken to the beauty spot in Klamath county, Crater lake. They are to leave on the morning train for Port land,. Saturday. Last night Dr. Scroggie spoke on "The Influence of Life," using as the basis of his address, "Be not confirmed to this world, but be ye transformed." He said very briefly: "These two words are in op position to each other. Be not fashioned according to this world, but be ye transfigured. for we have here the same word used of Jesus on the transfigura tion mount. While the church started out to spiritualize the world, the world has secularized the church. Paul summarizes the three enemies of the Chris tian, the lust of the flesh or ap petite; the lust of the eye. or avarice; and the vigor and pride of life. These things crowd into the life until God is crowded out Many of the things for which we give our lives may be legitimate enough, but if they crowd out God, they are wrong. In the Bible are three defenders of the Christian, God the Father. God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God the Father opposes the world; God the Son opposes the devil; and God the Holy Spirit opposes the flesh." LADY CHAMBERLAIN DIES LOIfDON, Feb: 13 (iP Lady Chamberlain, widow of Sir Aus ten Chamberlain, died here to day after a short illness.

Since Britain severed diplomatic relations with Rumania Monday, Rumanians have been warned to observe the blackout. Bulgaria's Claims A Bulgarian radio broadcast was heard in Budapest asserting Bulgaria's claims against Greece to an outlet to the Aegean. Greek claims of fresh advances in Albania strengthened belief among observers that Germany might not wait much longer be fore going to the aid of her Ital ian ally. Political quarters said the Yugoslav leaders were asked to go to Germany to discuss the present political situation in the Balkans" and joining the axis.

The attitude of General Maxime Weygand, whose armies in French North Africa might become a threat to the axis. 5. The attitude of all France's North African colonies, and 6. France's attitude toward the United States. Which, if any, of these points Franco hoped to clear up in his conference with PeUin was not ascertained. But authorized com ment in Rome indicated that all were involved, in varying de gree, directly or indirectly, in the Franco-Mussolini meeting. These commentators, inter preting the official Italian com munique on the meeting, flatly extended the official Wording to include Mediterranean and Af rican "problems." The Rome communique: "In talks which took place on the morning and afternoon of February 12 . at Bordighera be tween the duce and the caudillo and Spanish Foreign Minister Serrano Suncr, the identity of view of the Italian and Spanish governments was ascertained on European problems and those which interest the two countries in the present historic moment." (Madrid's communique, ap pearing to restrict the scope of the conversations to EuroDe. said: ... It is possible to state that there was complete identity of views of the Spanish and Italian governments on all prob lems of a European character interesting these two countries in the present historical mo ment.") In Rome, an authoritative source said: "Spain's attitude of solidarity with the axis powers continues." Axis circles and at least one newspaper, II Popolo Dl Roma, scoffingly dismissed as "infan I tile" the conjecture abroad that I Mussolini, through Franco, had sought to make a separate peace ! with Britain.

D. A. Salaries The committee held up action on a house-approved uin to in crease district attorneys' salaries from $149,600 to $188,000. sev eral committee members object ing to the provision that the state pay salaries of deputy dis trict attorneys in Multnomah county. Salaries of deputies in other counties are paid by the counties. Rep. Angus Gibson (R-Lanel, chairman of the house ways and means committee, objected to the "political pressuro of the district attorneys In asking us to pass this bill." The committee withdrew the program of aid for crippled chil dred from the public welfare commission and transferred it to the University of, Oregon Medi cal school, with a $106,000 ap propriation. A bill to permit legislators to examine lists of public welfare clients was approved by the com-; mittee, which amended it to pre vent legislators from copying the lists. The measure is intended to head off a resolution calling for investigation of the public welfare commission. The house passed unanimous ly and sent to the senate a bill to provide free blood tests for all expectant mothers to detect syphilis. The bill was amended to per mit women with religious scruples to refuse the tests, which must be made within 10 days after first consultation with the physician. Legislative activities reached top speed with a vote of confi dence for tho state highway com mission in the house and four committee hearings last night. The house defcuted a resolu tion which would have set up a legislative committee to arbi trate disputes between the high way commission and towns over location of highways. Speed Limits The senate roads and high ways committee voted in favor of a bill to set a speed maximum on the highways of 45 miles en hour, 25 miles an hour in resi dential districts and 20 miles an hour in business districts. A hearing wat held on a bill to change truck taxation from a ton-mile levy to a flat $5-a-ton basis. A. F. Harvey, superin tendent or motor transportation for the state public utilities com-' mission, testified It would reduce tax income by $123,000. Truckers said revenue would not decrease because many truckers now evade the ton-mile tax. Looking for a Good Time?

Randolph took the address, in vestigated by mail, then took a trip to Iowa and Illinois where he found, successively, brothers My ron, Robert and Burt Stono and half-sister, Mrs. Clarem-u Adams, lie also found a birth certificate which proved that ho too was a Stone. It was belatedly revealed to tho 42-ycar-okt l'orllaiuler that his parents were divorced short ly after his birth and his mother remarried, becoming Mrs. Charles Randolph. He was given his foster father's name but never told of his real parentage. His three elder brothers contin ued to live with tho futher, who also remarried. A daughter was born to the second union. The older brothers later learned from an aunt that their younger broth er, under the name of Randolph, resided in Portland.
