WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1932 THREE COMMUNITIES THREATENED BY FIRE IN OREGON FORESTS Residents Hope For Rain But: Weather Bureau Forecasts Dry Spell Portland, Ore., Oct. 5.—()—Forest fires roared through western Oregon and southwestern Washington Wed- nesday, threatening to destroy three small towns. Flames already had left one Oregon town in ashes and des-| to other classes and other industries. | troyed half a dozen buildings in an- other, The deserted mill town of Wendling in Lane county, central western Ore- gon, still stood Wednesday as 2,500 men fought flames that threatened it. Residents had fled. Amboy, a little town in southwest- ern Washington about 40 miles north | of Portland, was virtually ringed by} flames that had swept over thousands of acres of timber and brush land and destroyed several farm homes. Fear was felt for the safety of six families who determined to fight the mile- wide path of fire to save their homes. Across the Columbia river in Wash- ington county, Oregon, the mill town of Cochran was nothing but ashes. Its 200 residents fled shortly before! their homes were burned Tuesday.| In the same county 15 houses in the Bales Creek country were destroyed by_a 35,000 acre fire. The postoffice, a store, a service station and several homes were burn-/ ed in Wyeth, east of Portland. Every available man guarded the hamlet of Birkenfeld in northwest Oregon. Four hundred men, battling all night, had/| temporarily won their struggle) against a blaze threatening the Clark and Wilson Lumber company’s plant North of Vernonia. Forest service officials said they believed rain would be the only ef-| fective check against flames which | parade in broken formation from north of the Columbia river to the California border. The weather bu- Teau forecast continued dry weather. Although hundreds of lives have been imperiled by the fires, only one has been lost. Damage in the Coch- ran area alone was estimated by fire | fighters at more than $2,000,000. | einen | c° NTINUEJ) from page one- U. S. Senator Nye Fires First Shot | In Fall Campaign | tended to destroy the confidence of | friends of the progressive cause,” he said. “We hear about dissention within the ranks of those nominated in June. Before this campaign is over I shall not be surprised to hear that I and others on the ticket have been engaged in fist fights. Let none be fooled by this sort of campaigning. Our ticket stands united in the cause of decent, responsive government. Each one on that ticket entertains | farm. It must therefore be seen that|by comparison with the wrongs and} and warmer to- the utmost confidence in the purpose lend just that additional push needed to accomplish the enactment of help- ful farm legislation so early as this next winter,” he said. Of his own candidacy, Senator Nye said: “My record and my aims are sufficiently well known to make un- necessary enumeration of them here. Upon the record I must stand and am glad to stand as a candidate for re- election. I have made mistakes and cannot hope to avoid making more in the future. But I shall try not to make the same ones a second time. “I went to Washington seven years ago and undertook my duties with one determination, namely, that my | services should be devoted entirely to the catse of fair play for all the peo- ple, and determined that fair play to yall could not exisit with that third of our population living on American farms left to their own destiny with- out help while our government was responding as fully as it knew how | “I shall pursue like lines in the fu- ; ture, and with your continued encour- | agement, will hope that persistence in ‘the cause of fair play will once again | give us that clean and responsive kind lof government our American fathers intended should be ours. If in this effort I shall find myself in conflict with party and administration lead-}| ers, whether that leadership be Re- publican or Democratic, I shall not fear any charge of being against my party or against the administration. “It is my belief that he serves his party best who ser his country and its people best. Political parties have their place under our form of gov- ernment, but parties are sometimes influenced by other than the best in- terests of the people. When a party is found in defense of selfishness and greed, and, as is sometimes true, in defense of looters, thieves and crooked! men and crooked interests, party loy-! alty ceases to be a virtue, just as party loyalty ceases to be a virtue when a party shuts its eyes to the! interest of the masses of people who| after all are the ones who sustain both government and parties.” Scores Congress’ ‘Blindness’ Speaking of the “blindness with} which congress under big business leadership” has proceeded to remedy present-day conditions, Senator Nye said: “there is no doubt but that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation setup has responded to some common and local needs and has been helpful to the people. Its main response, however, has been to the great and greedy corporations and has not re- sulted in such a flow of good all up} and down the economic line as was needed. If only the great sums spent by this setup in this emergency had been directed to the securing of fair prices for agricultural products this fall, we would today find the flow of | business in every establishment in the land and we would be fast on ovr way out of this thing we call depression. “Genuine help for the American farmer will come when America is ready to admit that prosperity does | not come through five-minute bolster- ings of the stock and bond market, and that today, as much as ever be- fore, America is dependent upon @ prosperous agricultural industry. From that industry flows all genuine wealth. A third of our population lives upon the farms of America. An- other third, consisting of the business and professional men and their fam- ilies in agricultural communities, are directly dependent upon those on the our government in helping us out of of the others. “The ticket is one deserving of the }our economic predicament will save |both time and money if it will throw j | petitions of nations in preparation for more war. Unable to bear up under | the burdens of the last war the world is insanely at work today getting ready | with greater armies and greater na- j vies for the next war. And if such a |War can come or must come, we can | assure ourselves that it will be 80 |devastating as to quite destroy our | civilization. To win sanity in this | competition is most necessary. Many Problems at Home “Then at home we have still more |and as great problems, difficult prob- lems which are going to be painfully slow in finding adequate remedies. We have a job of reconstruction on our hands rivaling any after-war pe- riod, a job made the more difficult by reason of the manner in which selfish interests have entrenched themselves and woven their greedy interests into our economic fabric. More than that, having delayed so long the applica- tion of honest and helpful remedies to @ sick and crumbling economic struc- ture, the nation now has a structure so twisted and tangled that salvage is made doubly difficult. There is suffering, destitution and hardship on every hand to be met. There are problems of taxation and economy to jbe dealt with in no uncertain way. “But I look forward to these years with some little anticipation after all for there are good results in the offing. There is great and worth- while work to be done; a great na- tional emergency must be met; there is call for willing hands; there is de- mand for determined minds, minds | set to meet and solve these problems before they get beyond solution and before our country is wrecked and crushed by its own folly. “While the odds against solution of our grave problems may often ap- pear as great as stone walls, remem- bering the splendid endorsement and favor I have enjoyed at the hands of the people of North Dakota, I cannot do other than gladly undertake a share of the responsibilities with a firm resolve that truth shall prevail, that America will be brought to her senses, and that fair play will once again become the dominating influ- ence in government. Determination Is Key “Truth will let us undertake our national job with such determination as prevailed when we undertook to overcome impossible obstacles during the war. How impossible it is to con- ‘clude that there is nothing to be done except to sweat out this depression. How foolish to insist that we are de- stroyed economically and are beyond repair; how foolish seems a conclu- sion that we can do nothing to save the lives and the property that are threatened today when we know how nothing was permitted to stand in our way during the war to accomplish victory. If we could rally every neces- sary resource and spirit to destroy lives and property to win that war, most assuredly we are able to rally the necessary degree of spirit and resource to save lives and property in time of peace. “Through these years of greatest economic discouragement the Ameri- can people have shown @ greater pa- tience than can be boasted by any previous civilization. But let us not fool ourselves into believing that | America is beyond the reach of revo- ‘lution, Indeed, there are evidences of |such revolution on every hand today.

D., Oct. 5.—(AP)— Leaders of the farmers holiday and dollar wheat associations in North Dakota Wednesday brought new life into the two movements aimed to return the price of farm products to @ profitable basis. Meeting in Pekm, the dollar wheat group laid plans tor incorporating and appointed a committee to out- line a plan for obtaining members. Meanwhile, announcement was made at Jamestown by U. L. Burdick that plans for an extensive campaign to organize the state were launched at a meeting of the North Dakota Farmers Holiday association’s execu- tive committee. A permanent organization of the Nelson County Farmers’ Holiday as- sociation was created at Michigan and in Cooperstown members of the Griggs ,county unit passed a resolu- tion opposed to picketing of highways. At Sanish farmers were preparirig to load 52 cars of livestock in the face of objections from “farm strike” sup- Porters. Nelson county farmers formed a Permanent organization of the farm- er's holiday association at a meeting in Michigan attended by 500 persons. R. H. Andrews, Mapes, was elected Permanent president, F. W. Keitz- man, Lakota, vice president, and Nel- son Elvick, Michigan, secretary-trea- surer, Officers of the organization will call another meeting soon, when de- tails of a campaign to obtain members will be formulated. The crowd listened two hours to an address by John Simpson of Ok- Jahoma, national president of the Farmers Union. The speaker told how the holiday movement had spread throughout the farming territory, and while he urged against violence, he advised farmers to band together and make every law- ful effort to advance prices of their Products. Five hundred farmers and business- men gathered at Pekin and indorsed the aims of the dollar wheat asso- ciation, which plans to organize town- ship and county units in all north- west states. Dell Willis of Tolna, originator of the movement, principal speaker, out- lined the plan under which the or- ganization is working. Association incorporation papers have been prepared and will be for- warded to Bismarck by the associa- tion officers, who are Willis, presi- dent; J. C. Fahey, Tolna, secretary, and Dr. A. O.

Sees ‘Loyal Republicans’ During one of the latter appear- ances, the president voiced his ap- preciation of the reception and said “escorts from every city along the route” had given evidence they were “loyal, hard working Republicans.” A voice from the audience inter- rupted to add “and Democrats too.” Replying in a voice that was drowned by the noise, the president was heard to say that “all are welcome.” In his speech before a throng which included it of Iowa's leading Re- | publicans, the president said Repub- lican policies “are winning out.’ confetti, ticker tape throwing crowd | ty.

Democrats in the house, the presi- dent continued, “produced a program of pork-barrel legislation in the sum of $1,200,000,000” and passed a bonus bill which “would have made our cur- rency a football of every speculator and every vicious element in the fi- nancial world.” House Democrats also, Hoover said, Passed a bill “which would have made the government the most gigantic Ppawnbroker of history.” Under-mined Confidence “All this under-mined public con- fidence and delayed all the efforts of the administration and the pow- “If we continue to fight along these lines we shall win,” he added.

If it ever passes, it will end hope of re- covery. This program was passed through the Democratic house of rep- resentatives under the leadership of the gentleman who has been nomin- ated the Democratic candidate for vice president and thus these mea- sures and policies were approved by their party.” A moment later when the president asked: “Do you propose to place these men in power and subject this coun- try to that sort of measures and poli- cies?” many voices shouted, “No.” Hoover reviewed at length what he called the administration's “battles. on a thousand fronts” against the “economic storm.” Ks Safety Still Threatened “Seldom in history have we gone through greater dangers or have the difficulties before the nation been of such gravity,” he said. ‘We are con- tending today with forces at home and abroad which still threaten the safety of civilization.” Applause greeted Hoover when he said: “And above all we have fought to preserve the safety, the principles and the ideals of American life. We have builded the foundation of re- covery.” Thousands of people in their dis- tress, the president said, were saying that “things could never be worse.” “Let no man tell you that it could not be worse,” he added. “It could be so much worse that these days, distress. ing as they are, would look like verit- able prosperity.” “Many of these battles have been fought in silence,” the chief executive continued, “without the cheers of the limelight or the encouragement of Public support, because the very dis- closure of the forces opposed to us would have undermined the courage of the weak and induced panic in the timid.” The president said at one point in the battle against foreign withdrawals of gold and hoarding in this country his treasury secretary informed him that unless a remedy could be effect- ed the nation could hold to the gold | standard “but two weeks longer.” “Being forced off the gold standard in the United States,” he added, “meant utter chaos.
