SALEM, Greg, July 22.-Senator
Holman. Republican, of Oregon
yesterday described Pacific Coast
defenses as "criminally obsolete,
woefully inadequate and poorly
distributed
Senator Holman, member of a
special Senate subcommittee ap-
pointed to investigate West Coast

Roosevelt and his subordinates ARE

He charged that the guns at
Fort Stevens could not reply to
the Japanese submarine which
shelled the Fort Stevens reservation
June 81 because they are of 1898
vintage and lacked range.
Senator Holman said there were
no naval planes at Tongue Point
because they were all away on an
undisclosed mission. He said the
Portland air base was not notified
of the attack until several hours
after it was over.

Back to England After
Being Injured in Egypt
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 22-Capt. Ran
dolph Churchill, 3l-year-old son of
the British Prime Minister, predicted
today that 'if we're lucky" the
United Nations would win the war
by the end of next year, land If
we're. unlucky then We'll win by the
end of 1914, s..
1--WE, the British, were only one
quarter ready for this war" Capt.
Churchill said at a press conference.
Germany prepared for 20 years for
this war. The English have not been
as clever In this war as the enemy.
"We have been largely enthusiast
tic amateurs in this war as compared
to professional military men. We
still have y 1otto learn. but We are
learning fast and we are going to
Win."
Injured in Auto Crash.
Capt. Churchill, member of Brit
ish parachutist formation, reached
here yesterday from Egypt, where he
suffered crushed vertebra in an
automobile accident last May. He is
returning to England to recuperate.
Earlier, it was reported that Capt.
Churchill was injured during a
British Commando raid, but he said
he was hurt in an auto accident last
May which took the life of British
newspaper correspondent. The ac-
cident occurred near Cairo.
Capt. Churchill said that he took
q hopeful view of the Egyptian situa-
ton.
II think Rommel has shot his
bolt" he said. Whatever help he
wants must come from Russia-and
I don't think he's going to get it,"
AS Capt. Churchill talked, he bent
forward to ease the pain in his back,
which was strapped by splints. His
face was marked by bruise suffered
in the auto accident.
Had Air Superiority.
"We had decisive air superiority
in Egypt, but I realize the results
were disappointing to the folks back
home" he said. You don't get the
same sort of dividend in the desert
in air warfare. It's hard to hit any
thing; the troops are scattered and
there are no long lines of troops to
gun for.
"The 88-millimeter anti-tank guns
the Germans used were terrific. We
couldn't match them. But tremen-
dous reinforcements from this coun-
try-superior tanks, guns-are reach
ing us out there, and I am extremely
hopeful Of the result"
Capt. Churchill said that there
was no American fighter plane that

Formation of the naval counter

would receive the same pay as their

commanding officer would be given
the rank of lieutenant commander
and that she probably would be ''one

Service of the sailorettes would be
restricted to the continental United

from duty aboard planes or combat

Few Drivers Beat
War Speed Limit

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 10. CUP)-
The average California motorist is
obeying the new federal 35 mile per
hour speed limit and those who still
drive at high speed often have pre-
vious bad arrest records, it was
concluded today by Motor Vehicle
Director James M. Carter after the
first week of the new order.
Carter said between 85 and 80
per cent of cars are complying with
the new speed, while the relatively
few exceeding the limit are travel
ing at high speed. About 20 individ-
uals were cited during the week for
exceeding IS miles per hour and the
division of drivers licenses found
previous records in nearl. every
case. The division will take quick
action in these cases, including suS-
pension or revocation of the license.

The governments resentment over

Chilean and Argentine neutrality
aroused speculation today whether
President Juan Antonio Rios would
cancel his projected visit to Wash
ington.
WelleS told the natiCn foreign
trade convention in Boston Thurs
day night that Chile and Argentina
were letting Axis agents stab the
United Nations in the back and
that Axis agents in those countries
supplied the tips that made it pos
sible for submarines to sink many
allied ships.
The Chilean government conSid-
cred that Welles offended the dig
nifty of the country and instructed
its embassy in Washington to pro-
test to President Roosevelt. His
remarks were regarded as partic-
ularly untimely, coming on the eve
of Rios departure for the United
