vtjcz roua No Favor Sways Ut: No Fear Shall Atof - - From First Statesman. March 11. 1J51- THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING CO. - CHA&LE3 A SPRAQUE. President Member of The Associated Press Tbe Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches credited to ft or not other wise credited in this newspaper. " "Light on Public Affairs Freedom of the press is a noble concept to which the a. a a ew . as ar 1 M 1 average citizen suoscnoes ratner oiinanaeaiy. ne Knows that freedom of the press is guaranteed in the United States constitution, and he knows in a hazy sort of way that there vras rather sharp insistence upon inclrsion of that guaran v tee, back there in the nation's dawn. Of its prime necessity to the success of free government he has given little thought ; and of the martyrs who gave their lives, or on occasion only their ears, to establish the free press principle, he has scarce ly known. Yet it is only necessary to point out that a free press is the only device through which citizens may know what gov 'ernment is doing, so that public opinion may crystallize and exercise that control of which it is capable. That freedom of the press is a principle easily overlooked, may be blamed in part upon a press which too seldom exercises it directly and explicitly for the purpose which the founders had in mind. Casually and with scant attention, the press performs this vital function day after day. Sometimes the press itself for gets that it is so functioning. Of great, vital and burning public issues the front page headlines scream. But there are smaller matters having to . da with the finances of public agencies and the less spectacu lar legal processes, in which the public also has a stake. Of these, it is the duty of government to keep its citizens in t formed, and the press is the medium through which this may ! be economically accomplished. But this too is a matter on Which both the public and officials of larger and smaller governmental units need occasionally to be informed and re minded. The nearest thing to a dictatorship that the United States has known was the Huey Long administration in Lou isiana. One of the principal means whereby Huey succeeded in flouting the ordinary rules of law and justice and in con trolling state and local affairs through the spoils of graft, was the repeal, early in his rule, of the laws requiring publi cation of budgets and itemizations of public Expenditures. Thereafter, if a man's name appeared in two 0 three places on the public payroll, no one but the "insiders" was likely to know it. Huey Long is dead and most of those "insiders" who abetted his schemings and attempted to perpetuate them later, are in prison. But the lesson of Louisiana's shame needs to be retold again and again throughout the land. The press, though subject to suspicion as an "interested party," conceives it to be its duty to remind public and gov ernment of the necessity of these safeguards. Looking toward that same goal, the press of Oregon is sponsor of several bills in the present legislature designed to encourage the pub lication of public agencies' fiscal records. And though it is an "interested party," the press has not sought to make this publication more costly, but Only more general and more uniform. That the lesson needs frequently to be repeated is evi denced by the fact that there are before the legislature also several bills which would reduce present requirements for publication. One has to do with the periodical "statements of condition" of state banks ; others deal with the publication of legal notices. In Multnomah county, where adequate dissem ination of such information is most difficult, it is proposed that, merely posting a .notice in the courthouse be declared sufficient Such proposals suggest a failure to realiz the principle involved. . Nothing now before the legislature constitutes a frontal attack upon freedom of the press but, perhaps inadvertently, the wording of a bill admirable in its intent to protect candi - dates for public office from irresponsible slander, may serve to inhibit proper criticism of such candidates. It would seem wise to amend HB 174 in such manner that the press will re main free to brand a candidate unfit and cite reasons, provid ed good faith, reasonable belief and opportunity to make de nial are required in the interests of fairness. After Bengazi and Tripoli? J . The RAF airmen who bombed an air field near Tripoli, the capital of Italian Libya, late Monday, showed the inten - tion of their chief, Wavell, to wrest full control of that pro vince from its Italian overlords. The army of the Nile has already demonstrated its own ability to do the job, which .f leaves only the question of "where do we go from here?" to ; be answered when the last gun is fired and the Australians face the French sentries on the borders of Tunisia. It should be clear in the first place that the British army will not go promptly to Sicily or to the Italian mainland it . self to follow up its crushing victories over Marshal Graziani and his army of road builders and "old fascists." Any thought ' that Italy will suddenly disintegrate politically and econom ically with the fall of Libya is very much of an assumption, .which is thinly borne out when one realizes that Libya has been among the ranks of the fallen for some time to most in tents and purposes. The fascist regime can probably hold power in Italy as long as there is any to hold, especially with the ultramontane help which has already arrived from across the Brenner. Mussolini showed in 1923 what he could do to suppress civil . disorders, and not all the castor oil bottles have been thrown j "into the discard. But that still leaves the question of the disposition of the : British African force. Presumably a part of it will remain to , hold the African coastline for British naval bases and to guarantee against any sudden change of heart on the part of General Weygand which would cause that mysterious indi vidual to throw his French forces into the German balance and seek to accomplish what the Italians failed signally to ' do. A part of the army may likewise be sent into East Af rica to help bring a successful conclusion to the war against tthe Italians in Abyssinia and along the Red sea coast; some might even be sent to Albania to aid the Greeks. More the British can hardly do, at least with the war in its present stage. No troops are needed. in England itself; there is no place where an attempt to invade the continent ; ;can succeed. Churchill speaks of 1942 and 1943 with glow- j ing hopefulness. There may be use then for an army which has accomplished a brilliant offensive campaign,! but in the meantime the war, at least in Africa, is on the verge of a long ; period of waiting and still more waiting. - ! i - ; Bill for Deposing Judges 1 v - - Speaking of "inverse ratios" as: legislators dealing with . unemployment compensation are forced to do, it is probable ; i' that persons in a good many walks of life are likely to go era- zy in inverse ratio xo meir iuu in tneir ieuow men. rresum- ably that goes for legislators but it goes double for editors, f redoubled during legislative sessions, q . If it were considered mandatory that this department 1 ! expose the fallacy of each vicious or faulty or otherwise bad , bill in the legislature, there wouldn't be time nor space for ' ' anything else. We just have to realize that when some mis- :: guided legislator introduces a bad bill, there are 89 smart and agile fielders waiting to catch him out, and a lot of interest ed parties backing them up in case they all fumble. 1 ' , So we just stick around looking for bad bills that have ' some degree of plausibility. And we had no intention of 1 mentioning the bill that proposes to stop the salaries of cir , cuit judges and supreme court justices who are ill and unable to perform their duties for a stated period, and to oast them if they are off the job for a longer time. . , . . - that the bill does not assign anyone to be judge over the jud Thm Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS Charles Craft assisted : 1-5-41 in erecting; some of the ' first ' residences In Salem; contractor for Santlam ditch : a "a i . . ' : j This columnist got mixed on the early Craft and Croft fam ilies, in the series which ran through the issnes of Friday.! Sat urday and Sunday last, concern ing the first cemeteries of Salem. Charles Craft had no relation ship to the Crofts, H. and F. F. Croft, who were dyers, and must hare - worked in the Willamette woolen mill, Salem, first factory of Its kind on this coast. "a Charles Craft, not Croft, was a tanner, as Hamlin Smith of Sa lera, son of the early pioneer, Fabritas Smith, remembered, as told to this writer. Also, Chanes Craft was; the grandfather of Mrs. Cora J. Hoi man, widow of. Thomas Holman, her home at 965 North Summer street, Salem, and some of her rery early recollections are of the tannery of her grandfather.. His tannery was located on North MU1 street, near where Center street of the present crosses" that street. She remembers, as a small child, wading in the stream at the tannery. That must hare been the rery first tannery In what be came Salem. a The two tanneries listed in the 1871 Salem Directory, those of F. M. Morgan and E. Strong, the latter father of Amos Strong, must have come later. The Strong tannery was on North MiU creek. where North High street! now crosses it. High street was not opened at that point, to join Broadway, until many yers later; 40 to 50 or more years later. Mrs. Holman has good photo graphs of her grandfather, Charles Craft, showing him to have been a strong. Individualistic character: a true type of the early Oregon pioneer. Under the heading of the 1845 covered wagon immigration, Bancrofts History of Oregon mentions Charles Craft as a mem ber, and later along says: "Charles Craft settled at Sa lem, where he assisted in erecting some of the first residences. He died July 23, 1869." He was, as gientioned in the former series, ne of the three incorporators of the Lee Mission cemetery, of date Jane 27, 18.19. So he lired only four days less than a month after the date of that filing. He was also a member of the board of trustees of the Lee Mis sion cemetery, and, by the same sign, a member of the board of trustees of the First Methodist church of Salem, which (and its Sunday school) had its beginnings in the mother mission of Jason Lee, 10 miles by water below the site of Salem. S . That is the condition down to date. George P. Litchfield, who married Aurelia Craft, daughter of Charles Crafty Vhose (A are na's) twin sister died In infancy, was a member of the board of trustees of the First Methodist church of Salem, and so, of course, of the board of the Lee Mission cemetery. Mr. Litchfield was the father of Mrs. Thomas Holman, and she in turn is a member of the two boards. I There is a daughter of the Holnians, Grace E., of near We natchee, Washington, who won ders if she may be privileged to follow in line with her mother, her grandfather, and her great grandfather. Her husband is Winston I Wil liams, formerly of Salem, who Is now, as a lieutenant In the United States Army, in charge of the Eu liat Camp of the CCC at Brief, Wash., but, being subject to what ever assignment his superiors may designate for him, he may or may not find hlmBelf at any designated near or distant point required by changes in the war situation. George P. Litchfield and his brother Gilbert were for a long time (and the brother for a still longer time) owners of the sut ler's store at Fort Yam hilli fol lowing Ben Simpson, father of Samuel L. Simpson, Oregon's poet laureate, author' of "The Beautiful Willamette," etc., etc. 1i Then George P. Litchfield be came United States Indian agent for the Alsea reservation, and there, at Tachats, Mrs, Holman was born. Mr. Litchfield saw a good deal of the old political days of Ore gon, and was a participant in their ops and downs. . V s w ' J. W. P. Huntington, whose wife was a daughter of Charles Applegate, and so a niece of Jesse Applegate, the noted Oregon: pio neer statesman, who (Huntington) as a rery young man became prominent In politics (was a mem ber of the famous ISC legislature electing United States Senators Nesmlth and Baker), became In the late 1860s United States agent of Indian affairs for; Oregon. Huntington and some of his polit ical associates formed The i Ore gon Printing and Publishing com pany." and made a bargain for the purchase of The Statesman newspaper and its plant. Mr. j Litchfield was entrusted with the carrying of the- cash to make the purchase. He arrived from the Alsea section on horse back, in a stormy time, when Willamette valley roads were mostly mndholes in winter and dost heaps In summer; arrived at Corrallis. . f H V ;'hi- . A river steamboat was about to leave for Salem. He would seed the pony, to complete, his errand, fc ges, to determine whether they have neglected their duties or are unfit for service. And so it may be worthwhile to ex press a more fundamental objection. Circuit judges and supreme court justices, most of whom serve the public for protracted iessional capacity, deserve ratner better oi tne public than to be summarily tossed into the discard because of temporary disability. The. average private employer would not serve so harshly a faithful janitor, as this bill proposes that . the public treat its respected jurists. : OnraOIl CTRJEZURtL Cdmzn. i "v." V OiW?' ''iJ-i"' m' oh Wotan's Chapter 18 1 "Do you know Bobby Fair weather?" repeated Sir Hector McAllister as Meredith looked puzsled. I "O'you mean the racing motor ist? That youngster with so much money he doesn't know what to do with it?" t McAllister smiled. "Yes, I do mean him. And with regard to his money, he's found a use for It. That boy, Meredith, is Just a hun dred per cent brave!" "Well, you've got to have nerve to drive as he does," admitted Meredith grudgingly. "But for the rest, I've always thought him what American Journalists term a night club playboy." Once more his companion smiled, then said, "Young Fair weather has plenty of the slap dash courage required at .athletic sports, but he's now discovered an unexpected rein of more import ant fortitude." "High praise from you. Sir Hector," said Meredith. "What's he up to?" "Goebbles!" exclaimed the big Highlander. Meredith looked blank. "I don't quite follow." "Bobby Fairweather and half a dozen friends, all of them young and wealthy, are running a coun ter propaganda campaign which the Meich Minister for Propagan da Is finding singularly unamus Ing. They operate from cars with short-wavejs sets and they're got records made in German of all the speeches and articles which the German people are not allowed to hear or read. And I learn, on good authority, that Fairweather & Co. are getting their stuff through to the people. As far as I can gath er Himmler and his secret police are trying desperately to capture this bunch of boys who never operate from the same place twice. and they're having the time of their lives while It lasts. Oft Your Federal NORMAL TAX, SURTAX, AND DEFENSE TAX RATES Income taxes for 1940 are paid on net Incomes and on surtax net incomes. A stndy of the instruc tions that accompany the income tax forms will show how to com pute the tax on such Incomes. This brief statement should serve to help to that end. The Internal Revenue Code pro- rides for only one normal tax rate. and that is 4 per cent, of the net income less the allowable person al exemptions and credits tor de pendents, and an earned Income credit of 10 per cent of the amount of the earned net income but not in excess of 10 per cent of the amount of the net income. For in stance, if the net income is $3000, no more than- $300 earned net In come credit wonld be dedeuctlble from the net income. If the net in come is 4000 or less, there is paid only the normal tax Tate of 4 per cent. The personal exemption and credit tor dependents are also al lowable as credits against the net Income for the purpose of the surtax, the resulting net income being designated "surtax net in come. The surtax is imposed, on sur tax net Incomes In excess of S 40 00. The rates increase as the amount of the surtax net income In creases. - ; on arrival at Salem.

But where does this General Wallenfels fit in? "Almost accidentally," replied McAllister. "Young Fairweather reported to me at my office last week. Of course, he's not acting officially under my department, but we give him what help we can, which isn't much, and he brings back all sorts of useful tips. Last Thursday he told me an amazing story VI t seems that Fairweather and friends were broadcasting from a spot near Rostock on the War- now; some of the secret police ar rived at an awkward moment and Fairweather et ai Just did escape, They drove east, crossed the Rech- nits, and found themselves in that deserted stretch of country south of Stralsund. Here they abandoned the car, having first removed all marks of identification, and got a lift into the town. They stayed there, for about a fortnight while one of their number took a train to Stettin to buy another car. It was while they were lounging about waiting that Fairweather got on to this peculiar business of Wallenfels. "It seems that Stralsund is a garrison town with many troops there and Rugen Island, Just off the coast. Is forbidden territory. Fairweather gathered that they were cooking up something big there, because it was so heavily hush-hush in the best Nazi man ner " Meredith broke in. "What sort of thing are they cooking up?" Sir Hector shook his head. "That's what we don't know yet, but It must be something import ant because General von Wallen fels is there in person: at least, he's living in Stralsund but he Income Tax On a surtax net income of $4000 or less there Is no surtax. On a surtax net income in excess of $4000 and not in excess of $6000, the rate Is 4 per cent of such ex cess. The surtax upon a surtax net Income of $6000 is $80, and upon a surtax net income in ex cess of $6000 and not in excess of $8000 the rate is 6 per cent of such excess In addition to the $80. or a surtax of $200 upon a surtax net income of $8000. The defense tax, which the pre sent tax law imposes, is a tax of 10 per cent of the combined nor mal tax and surtax. The following example will show how to compute the tax on a net income of $8500, all of which rep resents earned net income, the taxpayer being single and wlthoat dependents: Nt ineoma .. 88500.0O Less personal xonptloB soe.oo BshtBc.

"Why?" asked Meredith. - "Because the majority of them are not soldiers." "But I don't understand, I thought you said he was the head of the Military Intelligence?" "So he is. But, at the present moment, he's working with a staff which consists of professors of languages, history, sociology, geography and anthropology." "What!" exclaimed Meredith. "What the devil for?" "Don't know. But the queerest thing of all is that the fellow who is a sort of chief of staff to Wal lenfels Is a man who held the chair In Aramaic and Hebrew at the University of Kietel and he's a Jew!" . "A Jew!" exclaimed Meredith. The other nodded. "Fact!" he said. "Furthermore, Fairweather found out that there's some sort of training camp on Rugen which is full of Jews!" "Ton mean a concentration camp?" suggested John. "I mean a training camp," said the other quietly. Meredith stared at him for a few moments in silence and then stirred uneasily in his chair and said. "Let me get this right. Am I to believe that the Nasi authori ties are training Jews for some serrlce?" McAllister shrugged. 'That Is what it looks like," he said. Sir John shook his head.

The Hrhtoninr soueese - which, labor has been putting on Henry Ford- wit h .fiitr words of appar- e n t encourage ment from tne a d m Inlstration I on the ildi hare made it ap pear that the e a r b u r etor of that rast inde pendent business is falling Into the clutches of me Moor organ- . tjaUoa ixing groups at long last. But don't bo too sure. So far they only hare the tall light. It is true 2 the supremo court will hand down a decision in two national labor relations board cases against Ford within a few weeks. These will undoubtedly be against Mr. Ford unless about fire of Mr. Rooserelt's recent ap pointments to the court sudden ly drop dead. It is also true both Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt hare said recently tho gorernment is em powered to take over any plant refusing to 'accept defense con tracts, which is lncontrovertibly true. Bat the whole case la en meshed hi snch legal tape that the final result seems' far less -close tbaa the surface events would indicate Mr. Roosevelt is empowered only to take orer Industries which hare refused a compulsory order. Ford has not done that. Here is what happened: The war department aent out invitations to bid on trucks. A clause in the invitation required the bidder to abide by tho federal labor laws (meaning the national labor relations act, Walsh-Hea-ley, child labor, etc) Ford sub mitted a price but scratched out this clause. The bid, therefore, was rejected and the contract for the trucks went to Fargo Motors company, subsidiary of Chrysler Motors. War Undersecretary Patterson, who knows as much about law as anyone around that department, is of the natural opinion that the hope of getting one of our fellows in?" "Not much. We're tried." "And?" "A certain captain of the Staf fordshire has ceased to draw his pay," replied Sir Hector grimly. . "Shot?" "We don't know. But his side kick, who was waiting for him on the mainland, heard some target practice going on at an unusual hour, and drew his own conclu sions." "Well, did they learn he was one of our fellows?" asked Mere dith quietly. Sir Hector shook his head. "No. We're all right there. He'd got a complete set of Austrian pa pers supplied by an out-of-work musician in Salsburg who doesn't like the Nazis." "Are there no other clues to this - Jtugen - Island business?" asked Sir John, holding a match to the other's cigarette. Sir Hector blew out a deep, blue cloud of smoke. "It's funny you're asking that, Mededlth," he said, "because I'm Just wondering whether I're not got an interest ing lead in this: I was talking to young Tangay over at the For eign Office the other day. He's just come back from Germany and was telling me that he heard of a strange outfit called the 'W' Bri gade; also known as "The Island Brigade,:" Meredith rubbed" his chin. "Yes. But would that tie up with those mysterious Jews?" "That provides us with two problems," sighed his companion.
