VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON Weekly News Review----------------------- Crim. -------------------- By Joseph W. La Bine---------- International Last week as neurotic Europe jit­ tered and shivered, Adolf Hitler led 1,500,000 troops through unprece­ dented maneuvers. In England, there were signs that Neville Cham­ berlain’s “kid glove” policy toward Germany and England was break­ ing down. In Shanghai, Japan made bold advances on the International Settlement. (See below). Into such a troubled world stepped U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull to deplore once again the “tide of lawlessness.” A good maker-of- points, Statesman Hull listed a sev­ en-point international program to . . . a CORDELL HULL “narrow mental horizon." accomplish this aim: (1) economic reconstruction; (2) adherence to in­ ternational law; (3) observance of treaties and their orderly modifica­ tion when necessary; (4) abstention from use of force; (5) non-interven­ tion with other nations’ internal af­ fairs; (6) disarmament; (7) collab­ oration for culture. To America, Mr. Hull’s speech was a warning that U. S. isolation is no longer possible. To European chancellories it was intended to be a pep talk for internationalism. But as comment drifted back home next day from London, Berlin, Paris, Rome and Tokyo, it appeared Mr. Hull had only made his friends dear­ er, made his enemies stronger. Berlin spoke of his “narrow men­ tal horizon,” Rome called him “idealistic and impracticable,” To­ kyo said his speech was a “repeti­ tion of his idealistic diplomacy which contains nothing not included in recent pronouncements.” But from ally-hungry Paris and London came only praise. Two days later Franklin Roose­ velt found occasion to make another official U. S. utterance on Democ­ racy vs. Dictatorship. At Ontario’s Queens university, where he got an honorary degree, the President (1) extended the Monroe doctrine to Canada by promising that “the peo­ ple of the U.‘ S. will not stand idly by if domination of Canadian soil is threatened by another empire;" and (2) took a slap at Hitler, Mus­ solini, et al, by remarking: “We cannot prevent our people from hav­ ing an opinion in regard to wanton brutality . . . undemocratic regi­ mentation . . . misery inflicted on helpless peoples.” To France this was proof that “the democracies of the world are standing together." Foreign Last February 20, dapper Anthony Eden resigned as Britain’s foreign secretary because he didn’t believe in consorting with dictators. But Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain set out to make friends with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Ap­ pointed as Eden’s successor was Viscount Halifax. Next came conversations at Ber­ lin and Rome, a British-Italian friendship pact, a plan to take for­ eigners out of the Spanish war, an avowal of peace from Hitler. Until last fortnight Neville Chamberlain was a success at winning friends and influencing people. But a few days later his house of cards collapsed. Italy began anti­ British propaganda despite her "friendship” agreement. Hitler massed 1,500,000 men for war maneuvers despite his peace avow­ al. Generalissimo Francisco Fran­ co, Spain’s rebel commander, balked at eliminating foreign fight­ ers, presumably on advice from Berlin and Rome. What was still more disheartening. Viscount Halifax met secretly with opinionated Anthony Eden and was reported ready to resign. Some thought Neville Chamberlain might also resign, placing weather-beaten Sir Samuel Hoare in line for the premiership. • At Cologne an anti-aircraft gun | was planted in front of the U. S. consulate, barking every 20 minutes at an imaginary enemy in the sky. Throughout Germany, troop trains pulled reserves to the borders of France, Poland and Czechoslovakia for Adolf Hitler’s 15-day war maneuvers. From many points, foreign observers sent word of wholesale rebellion among workers drafted for “state tasks.” Nowhere was this Nazi show of ! power more keenly felt than in little ' Czechoslovakia, where 400,000 I troops were secretly mobilized to forestall a sudden invasion move I WHA T to EAT and WHY In September, 1934, the body of a headless woman was washed ashore on Cleveland's Lake Erie front door. The next three and one-half years produced nine more headless bod­ ies, seven of them men, two of them women. In each case, clues were maddeningly absent; always the same mutilation and cleavage of bodies, always the papers and boxes into which the pieces were packed, always the hopelessness of identi­ fication. Last week, rummaging around a lake front dump, police stumbled on an eleventh victim, headless like the rest. Four hours of patient ex­ amination brought no clues. A few hours later crowds swarmed over the dump, uncovered a twelfth tor­ so. Both were women; one may have been a Negro. As police continued to seek the “mad butcher of Kingsbury Run” they knew only that he was a sur­ gically skilled maniac who appar­ ently has no other motive except a fiendish desire to dissect human bodies. 6International Lawlessness9 Deplored by Secretary Hull by Germany. Meanwhile, England’s Lord Runciman made little prog­ ress in his mission to settle the scrap between loyal Czechs and pro­ Nazi Sudeten Germans. As nego­ tiations reached an impasse, Su­ deten Ernst Kundt warned the gov­ ernment that the “gap is unbridge­ able.” • Fortnight ago, Chinese national­ ists in Shanghai celebrated the first anniversary of Japan’s invasion by raising flags and waging guerrilla warfare. Result was an invasion of . Shanghai’s International Settle­ ment by Jap secret service agents who were promptly spanked and sent home. Last week two French soldiers were seized and taken to the Japanese embassy where they were held despite protests. Though Shanghai itself now lives peacefully under Tokyo rule, the foreign-owned International Settle­ ment houses 1,000,000 Chinese still loyal to Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek. Shanghai diplomats feared that Japan might attempt to seize the settlement, a move that would send U. S., Great Britain and France into an outraged uproar. Meanwhile, Tokyo tightened its belt once more, taking more econ­ omy measures to speed up the war in China. Hankow, long-sought ob­ jective, still remained 100 miles away from war weary Nipponese. X Causes of Food Allergy A the old saying that “one man’s meat is another man’s poison.” They are victims of the curious^ ' ---- — .... - phenomenon known as food al­ ble, because they vary so widely individuals who are sensi­ lergy and have an abnormal reac­ among tized, and often one person is sen­ tion to the proteins in certain sitive to a number of foods.

Asthma or asthma; or he seems to be common in persons may have a tend­ who are sensitive to milk, eggs ency to what ap­ pears to be bron­ chial or head colds. It has been de­ termined that these symptoms in an in­ dividual who is al­ lergic are due to intolerance of certain proteins. Even when the offending foods are fruits and vegetables, it is the pro­ tein that is responsible. It has been suggested that the sensitiza­ tion results because at some pre­ vious time, an unsplit or undi­ gested protein in some way passed through the membranes lining the digestive tract and entered the blood stream. This acted very much like a foreign substance and sensitized body cells in some way so that whenever the same food is eaten, the disturbing symptoms occur as a sort of defense mechan­ ism. “1 am quite confident that he is su­ perior in learning and ability to anyone else available and that his character is equal to his gifts. He has been a dear friend of mine for many years, but I am confident that the judgment I express is not the child but the parent of my affec­ tion." Thus, in 1932, wrote the late beloved Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes regarding Harvard’s Felix Frankfurter, whom he wanted ap­ pointed to the Massachusetts Su­ preme court. But famed Jurist Frankfurter declined the offer and — ★ — Other Offending Substances Foods are not always responsi­ ble for allergy, and the symptoms may be produced by contact with wool, feathers, dust, pollen, dander from horses or other animals; or even the sting of a bee. Discovering the Offenders The ideal procedure for the al­ lergy victim is to find out the of­ fending foods or substances and avoid them. For early recognition of a tendency to allergy may pre­ vent discomfort and trouble. There are two ways to discover the trouble makers.

So did an­ other great liberal. Justice Benja­ min Cardozo. To fill Justice Cardozo’s post was a job confronting Franklin Roose­ velt last week. Since the court al­ ready has a liberal majority he would not find it necessary to con­ sider that factor. Some thought a westerner should have the job for reasons of geographical distribution. Others thought it should go to a Jew or Catholic for religious rea­ sons. Though no appointment was ex­ pected before congress reconvenes, pro-Frankfurter sentiment was growing rapidly in Washington.

PENNSYLVANIA’S GUFFEY He wrote too many letter». 1 ’ I I i learn by experience, either by keeping a record of the foods eat­ en and noting the appearance of symptoms, or by eliminating from the diet, first one and then another of the foods that are suspected of causing difficulty. The other is to let your doctor conduct simple skin tests. Small scratches are made on the arms and legs, and each scratch touched with a solu­ tion made of the protein of a food or substance known to cause trou­ ble. If a person is allergic to that substance, the skin around the scratch swells and becomes in­ flamed. The inflammation disap­ pears after a few hours and causes no pain or inconvenience. Other Foods Must Be Used Once the offending food or foods are determined, they should be eliminated either for all time or until the individual becomes de­ sensitized. If the trouble maker is an uncommon food, such as lob­ ster or clams, the allergy presents no great problem, but when chil­ dren react to necessary foods such as milk, eggs and wheat, the homemaker faces a difficult task. When milk is the offending food, it must be avoided, not only as a beverage, but in bread, cakes and puddings. Sometimes dried or evaporated milk, goat's milk or soy bean milk may be used in­ stead. When wheat is the trouble maker, the alternatives include cornstarch, rice flour, potato or rye flour; rice and corn cereals; tapioca or barley. When hen’s eggs are injurious, duck’s eggs can sometimes be used with suc­ cess, or meat or fish may be sub­ stituted. Sometimes after a period of ex­ clusion, an immunity is built up so that later the foods may be re­ introduced gradually into the diet. — ★ — Don’t Jump to Conclusions Send for This FREE Army ers to contribute to campaign chests of Gov.

But the substances which cause a disturbance differ with each individual, and the type of reaction also differs. For exam­ ple, a mother may be allergic to milk; her child inheriting the tend­ ency may be allergic to fish. Drinking milk may give the mother an attack of asthma; eat­ ing fish may cause the child to break out with hives. It !: difficult to generalize re­ garding the foods that cause trou- Last week, as Adolf Hitler pa­ raded his manpower before the world and England's Leslie Hore- Belisha began "streamlining” Great Britain’s army, many an American wondered about his own national defense. To their surprise, inves­ tigators learned that U. S. army of­ ficials are placing an accent on youth, are moreover tightening ef­ ficiency strings. New regulations require periodic reports on major generals and 12,500 officers below that grade. And, because a score of majors and brigadier generals reach retirement age this year, a wholesale reshuf- fling of upper ranks is in progress. But to Maj. Gen. George Van Horn Moseley, attending Third army maneuvers at Camp Bullis, Texas, officers were only part of the problem. Said he: “The No. 1 problem facing the United States today from a military standpoint is manpower, which is the worst in our history. There are five reasons, in this order: graft, crime, health, illiteracy and venereal disease." FOODS THAT OFTEN CAUSE TROUBLE C.

Alben Barkley and Gov. A. B. “Happy” Chandler were accused of misusing federal and state funds to influence voters. Investigating such charges last week, Sen. Morris Sheppard’s com­ mittee on campaign expenditures found a particularly juicy morsel. Uncovered in Pennsylvania were letters carrying Sen. Joseph F. Guf­ fey’s signature, urging WPA work­ ñus^^7 chart / Well-Known Food Authority Names the Foods That Cause Trouble In New York’s Madison Square Garden, 20,000 fight fans saw dusky Henry Armstrong enter a boxing ring wearing two crowns, world featherweight, world welterweight. In another corner sat Lou Ambers wearing one crown, world light­ weight. For 15 rounds they fought at terrific pace as Henry Armstrong clearly held the edge. In the fifth, Ambers dropped under a crushing right. In the sixth he dropped again under a fusillade of rights. But in the thirteenth he fought Armstrong to a standstill. At fight’s end, Henry Armstrong left the ring wearing three crowns instead of two, the first man in box­ ing history to hold three titles at one time. But from the audience came jeers, boos, catcalls, straw hats, cigar butts and pop bottles. Last week Secretary of State Cor­ dell Hull reported satisfactory prog­ ress with his reciprocal trade treaty program whereby the U. S. be­ comes “most favored nation” with a host of governments. Then came a stumbling block, thrown in his path not by a foreign power but by Mr. Hull’s next door neighbor. Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wal­ lace. In all the world there are wheat surpluses of 975 million bushels. Of this the U. S. has 325 million, Can­ ada 250 million. Easily the biggest competitors in wheat export busi­ ness, North America’s “good neigh­ bors” have made price-cutting moves against each other to sell a major part of the 400 million bush­ els the world export market needs this year. What Secretary Wallace suggest­ ed last week was an “understand­ ing” on wheat export policy with the Canadian government which lias pegged No. 1 wheat at a minimum of 81 cents a bushel and agreed to absorb losses connected with export business. After he reaches an agreement, Secretary Wallace hopes to make a similar provision for U. S. exports, subsidy money to come from customs receipts. Determined to dispose of at least 100 million bushels on the export market this year, Secretary Wallace might easily disrupt the reciprocal trade treaty by underbidding na­ tions now operating under agree­ ments with Secretary Hull. send for (2. 4]oulton tfoudtli ¿xplstni the \ free Sports Business PAGE FIVE The peasant note spells smart­ ness in linens today.

It must be borne in mind that many of the symptoms produced by food sensitivity may also result from other causes. For this rea­ son, it is unwise to decide that one is allergic without due investiga­ tion. Nor must the imagination or the current widespread discussion of the subject be allowed to cause adults or children to mask their unwillingness to eat certain foods with the false notion that they are unduly sensitive. On the other hand, homemakers should be sympathetic with both children and adults who say with good cause, “I can’t eat thatl” And it would appear that there may even be some compensation in this unpleasant situation. For a group of scientists who have studied the subject announced ■ few years ago that those who be­ long to the allergy group appear to have a definite capacity for be­ coming intellectually superior. Thus, the child who suffers from a skin rash or stuffy nose today, due to food sensitivity, is apt to be full of energy when he reaches manhood and exhibit unusual abil­ ity for cultural leadership. • WNU—C.
