WALLA WALLA, April Z0-(ff)
Mayor H. O. West replied Thurs
day, to Gov. Charles A. Sprague
of Oregon for his criticism in
the' press Wednesday to the loca
tion of war projects in Walla
Walla.
"To say the least," West wrote
the governor, "I am utterly amaz
ed that the governor of Oregon
would publicly make a statement
that military establishments
should take into consideration
business factors of any commun
ity rather than strictly that which
the military believes to be in the
best interests of the defense of
this nation. . . I do sincerely
trust that the goveronr of Oregon
has been misquoted. . . ."
The reference was to Walla
Walla's air base and projected
army hospital. Sprague Was quot
ed Wednesday as saying, "I know
of no reason why so much should
go Into Walla Walla (Wash.) and
have LaGrande, Baker and On
tario apparently overlooked."

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30-(JP)
The Chronicle said Thursday night

criminals, manacled and under
heavy guard, have been spirited
away from Alcatraz island in a
secret evacuation of its prisoners
ment, millions of human lives
sacrificed, hunger j and impover
ishment, he said' f .
"No end can be seen to the
war and their human reserves
are running out.
"Their oil la running oat.
'; "Their raw materials are
running out. .' , , f
"Among , the Q e rm a n people
recognition of the inevitability of
Germany's defeat is growing.
"For the German people It be
comes clearer and clearer that the
only way out of this situation, is
the liberation of Germany frqm
me aaveniurous clique oz muer
and Goering."

Audience Finds Comic
Production: Is
NBjr MAXINE BUREN
The "Salem Toign school chorus
classes Thursday night opened
National Music week with the
yearly production bt a Gilbert and
Sullivan comic opera :this time
tne -Gondoliers.- jwk
Several things about theprO
auction were outstanding. The
chorus work was: unusually good,
perhaps because, with part of the
singers seated off the stager the
group on the platform was not
over-large,-1 yet the volume was
there. Several of the players were
outstanding,, notably the Duke of
Plaza-Toro, Reid Shelton, who
carried off his comical part with
poise and real grace. The scenery,
created by Carl Ritchie, was col
orful and interesting, adding much
to the success of the performance
Miss Lena Belle Tartar's direc
tion of the opera deserves of
course, special mention, and to
Alice Rose, the accompanist who
played almost constantly for over
two hours, go congratulations for
her excellent work.
Limited space does not permit
a repetition of the singers who
took even the lead roles, but it
is enough to say that each did his
part well. Some were obviously
nervous at first, but all warmed
up to the performance and, in the
style of many previous high school
actors, caught the spirit of the
music and gave the audience an
enjoyable performance.
Unwritten
Law Hit
(Continued From Page 1)
A Rogers, executive officer of
the medical corps.
Colonel Rogers said there was
b no written regulation, but that
there was an unwritten law
"based on the relationship of
superiors toward subordinates
as pertains to commissioned of
ficers of the army and is solely
a matter of discipline which,
to be maintained on doty, can
not be broken down off duty."
That was enough for Daniels.
If enlisted men are good enough
to fight and die for their country,
he wrote, they ought to be good
enough to associate with generals
or with nurses.
