Secretary lckes Tells Miners To Go To Work

WASHINGTON, May % (P) - Prospectors in the Western Stat es and Alaska were told to go to work or get off their mining claims, by Secretary Ickes in a warning that Congress was in no mood to pass legislation suspend ing annual assessment work.
 He told miners that they have until July in which to do S10O worth of development work on their claims.
 Senate and House Committees shelved the suspension legisla- ton proposed for this year, and unless this work is completed by July l, Ickes said the claims of miners operating on public lands in western states would be sub ject to relocation and those in Alaska subject to outright for feiture.

War Still In Air In Europe On Memorial Day

UNDATED, May 29 (P)-Mem ,orial holidays gave Europe's dip lomats a rest and Europe's mil lions at least temporary respite from alarms with Russia holding the secret to the answer to the Continents biggest question, that was-Will Russia accept Britaln's proposals as approved by France for bringing the Soviet Union into the British-French front? Moscow is still silent
 Identical messages were dellv- cred to the Kremlin Saturday by representatives of Britain and France but in London the press and the public took the agree ment for granted.
 In France, the graves of 30,00C American soldiers killed in the World War, were decorated in Memorial services held a day in advance of American Memorial Day in order to coincide with the European holiday
 In Spain, the Nationalists said Franco would fulfill his promise to send home all foreign troops by the end of the week.

War Nay End Democracy.
Senator Tells Audience

; There are those who would like
to see war simply because it might
secure the passage of those meas
ures of complete regulation and
control which they know cannot be
secured in times of peace" said
Sen. Taft, emphasizing that he did
not refer to President Roosevelt.
"I doubt If England or France
have the resources or credit to make
the purchases in this country which
were made during the World war"
He suggested that any wartime
control measures be administered
strictly on an emergency basis, with
an effort to preserve the spirit of
private enterprise. Taft said gov
ernment control of business and
agriculture already had proven i'm
practical.
IF we go to war for democracy,
we may find that our own demo-
cracy has disappeared he declared.
Sen. Taft will speak in Portland
Thursday night before proceeding
to San Francisco.

Poles Rally for
Crucial Battle Of
War Against Nazis
Continued from Page -

SO that the Nazis have been forced
to take drastic measures to strength
en- their position in the face of
continued French advances toward
the main Rhineland forts.
Operations were chiefly on a 60
miie front, with the French report
ing methodical advances by infan-
try and tanks against increasingly
heavy German artillery fire. Ger
mans caught in French cross fire
while attempting counter attacks
to protect the weakest sections of
their line suffered heavy casualties,
it was reported In Paris.
In London, where the participa-
ton of British troops in the fight
ing was hailed in newspaper head
lines, there also were jubilant dec
larations that the German anti
aircraft defenses were weak. Bras-
ish airplanes repeatedly have flown
over Germany, picking out import
ant cities and escaping detection
as they dropped propaganda leaf
lets, the London statements con-
tended, although it was emphasized
that real test of Nazi defenses
would come only if important mill
tary objectives are bombed.
Obviously, the war on two fronts
was taxing Germany's fighting
strngth. Men up to the age of 48
were called to the coIors in the
Reich. Bread soon will be rationed.
Women were doing the work of men
all over Germany.
Although such fatcors are favor
able to the allied position, they
were far short of showing that the
Reich fighting power had suffered
any serious damage. The Nazi high
command reported that the Posen
loop" in western Poland was rap
idly being cleaned up and commu-
nication lines strengthened for
what was expected in Berlin to be
a death stroke at the Polish armies
So far the rains reported in some
sections of Poland had not been
sufficient to hinder the Nazi mech
anized forces seriously, although
continued rain would be a great
disadvantage.
The Nazis confidently predicted
that, as soon as their positions
have been consolidated after last
weeks swift advances, they would
quickly encircle and destroy the
Polish armies in the Warsaw Lodz
sector, push on to Lwow in the
southeast and then be free to turn
their full strength against the Brit
ish and French.
When they do turn to the west,
they said, there will be a million
more troops in the Rhineland and
there will be effective submarine
counter-attacks against the Brit
ish blockade of German shipping
lanes.
