With IA new cargo ships sliding
down the ways, America put a vital
span yesterday into the bridge OF
ships" by which this Government
expects to contribute to the down.
fall of Adolf Hitler.
1t was the largest mass launching
since World War days and was
notable, too, because among the
vessels which hit the salt tides were
three of the new liberty ships" de-
signed for mass production. The
launchings took place on the Allan
tic and Pacific Coasts and on the
Gulf of Mexico as well
Called Blow at Menace.
President Roosevelt signalized the
occasion with the unusual device of
an electrically transcribed speech,
heard at all the launching cere-
monies, in which he called the event
telling blow at the menace to
our Nation"
The President focused attention
particularly on the launching OF the
Patrick Henry, one OF the liberty
ships. at Baltimore by recalling the
Virginian's famous Give me liberty
or give me death"
There shall be no death for
America, for democracy, for free
dom" Mr. Roosevelt said. There
must be liberty, world wide and
eternal That is our prayer-our
pledge to all mankind"
At the hour of the Patrick Henry's
launching, American merchant ships,
wherever they might be, were
dressed-if conditions permitted-in
their brightest bunting and blew a
salute on their whistles to the new
vessel. Shipyard whistles all over
America did the same, and Ameri-
can ships as well.
Launchings Begin Early.
The days launchings began at
Chester, Pa. a little after 6 am.

cargo ship Surprise was eased into

In addition to the three ships of

included six ships of the Maritime
Commissions &C" types. two ships
built with lease-lend funds and or
dered by the British government,
one of combination passenger and
cargo design, an Army transport and
an oil tanker.
All are part of the commissions S

ships have been let.

By the Associated Press.

ROSEBURG, Greg, Sept. 81
StreSsing that Il am not making
references to individuals" Repre-
sentative Martin of Massachusetts,
warned the Nation tonight of grave
problems arising from and follow
ing the war.
In a speech broadcast from the
Oregon Republican Clubs conven-
ton, the G. 0. P. national chairman
said:
I'VE will be faced after the wal
with an incalculable national debt
with world which can offer us no
markets but which will demand
that we restore all the shattered
nations and feed all the war-strick-
en- peoples while we are trying to
rebuild their economies, with our
vast unemployment at home, with
taxation the extent of which can
not even be guessed.
IF we believe we have seen agi-
tation by the enemies of our form
of government-by the Fascists and
Communists-let me say we haven't
seen anything yet. The Fascists
and Communists will have fertile
fields in which to plant their propa-
ganda for debt repudiation. property
confiscation, abolition of the Con-
stitution and a return to tyranny
in government"
He pleaded for a strong, out
spoken minority to preserve the
two-party system of government.
He demanded that the Nation
cease spending money for monde
fense purposes. Mr. Martin as
sailed what he said was a policy OF
giving defense and civilian busi-
ness preference to large industries
cutting "the little man" of from

mer presented an agreement
whereby the government would
continue to use the field as an
emergency airport, would install,
mainta n and pay all expenses
in operation of the present light
ing system. The only contin-
gency is thai the city would be
obligated to keep the grass now
ed and field level.
Earl Walters, it was revealed
at the meeting is the only city
airplane pilot with a government
permit to instruct students. He
stated that if the city took back
the field he would be glad to en-
ter into contract to keep the
grass cut for three years. Mr..
Walters said that he would also
erect a building suitable for
repair shop and hanger. The
only hangers now at Heath are
the ones privately owned by
Warren Weiant on land adjacent
to the field.
At council meeting Monday
night the city solicitor was also
given the authority to enter in
to a contract with Mr.. Walters as
outlined in the foregoing para
graph.
Heretofore private individuals
or business firms owning air
planes had to get special per-
mits to land at the field. I'm
der city control this is not neces-
sary. Mr.. Walters promised that
he would set up an equitable ar
rangement with airplane owners
to take care of the small ex-
pense Of keeping the grass cut,
but that he will assume all re-
sponsibility.
The new arrangement will
make it possible for young men
in the community interested in
learning to be pilots, to receive
training locally. At present it
is necessary to go to Columbus
or GAINESVILLE. An agreement will
be worked out with Denison stu
dents to receive instruction in
flying, said Mr.. Walters.
Councilman Stare, in remark
ing upon the city's resuming con-
troll of the airport, remarked: IL
am sure that Newark has taken
another forward step in aviation,
and by passing this resolution is
looking into the future" His
comment was the consensus of
opinion of the entire council
body.
From national defense stand
point Mr.. Walters revealed last
week that he has also been in
communication with the govern
ment, and that there is a good
possibility of establishing a gov
ernment training school for local
aviation enthusiasts.

Legislation was passed author
izing Margaret Courson to ex-
tend a sewer in Conrad avenue
for her residence. An ordinance
was defeated making it unlawful
to park in Pound street from
West Main street to the south
end of the street, except on the
west side. Considerable discus
sion ensued in regard to the mat

for. Tests were made, according
to Councilman A. d. Lockwood,
and it was found that a fire
truck could operate between two
cars parked opposite on the street
by exercising only the greatest
of caution. Several members of
council felt that in the interest
of safety, the parking restriction
should be voted. However, it was
revealed that the majority of the
residents on the street were
against the ordinance, and it was
defeated by a six to three vote.
A motion was made to install
