Music Week in Wartime I
"Music maintains morale" is a timely slogan,
this year, of National Music week. No proof is
required, but merely reminder. We are aware
that 'National Music week is fostered annually
for the purpose of encouraging wider apprecia
tion of. good music, and were it not for this
slogan we would scarcely dare to mention again
at this time the "lift" which such songs as
"K-K-K-Katy" gave the soldiers in 1917 and
'18. Doubtless the sponsors of this annual week
are quite content, even gratified, that songs
of the stamp of "You're a Sap, Mr. Jap" are in
42 being spurned alike by soldiers, civilians and
even swing band leaders. It may be a sign that
progress actually lis being made. Of course it
is unfortunate that the soldiers haven't some
really inspiring new popular songs in march
time to help them on their way. But then, we
have an abiding suspicion that civilian morale
is more in need of bolstering just now than
service morale.
An apparent obstacle one encounters in giv-j,
ing National Music week verbal endorsement
in the light of current world events, is the wide
spread identification of the best in music with
Germany. But this Is not by any means a
parallel to the case of the Korean-Japanese
cherry trees. The Medford Mail Tribune in
mentioning this circumstance listed the names
of Haydn, Mozard, Beethoven, Weber, Men
delssohn, Wagner and Brahms. Just for the
record: Haydn and Mozart were Austrians,
Beethoven lived most of hisc life in Vienna,
Brahms spent his later years there; Wagner
was so far as we "know the only one on the list
who interested himself in politics he was ban
ished for his liberal sympathy with the 1848
revolution. And Mendelssohn, if he had lived
Jn Germany in the last decade, also would have
been forcedinfo exile. He was a Jew.
To the extent that classical music is identified
with Germany, it serves as a reminder of the
culture and decency which lo'ng have charac
terized that people in spite of the frequent re
surgence of militarism afid the current prev
alence of an even more sinister ideology.
"Fostering Hemisphere Solidarity Through
Inter-American Music" is the official slogan of
music week in 1942. It is true that there is a
homogeneity of musical style in this hemisphere
which fortunately contrasts with the diversity
of language forming a barrl er at the Rio
Grande. There may be greater urgency than
we know, for aggressive promotion of a com
munity of understanding, through music, among
the Americas. As an international language,
music likewise can scarcely avoid playing
constructive role after the war, in re-cementing
the severe ties of the western, culture's cur
rently isolated branches.
Play Ball
"Forget defense. Attack." That is the na
tion's war slogan. Now the trouble with the
Salem Senators last year distinctly was that
they were long on defense but weak on the at
tack. That sort of ball team wouldn't do at all,
this season. -
Well, that isn't the sort of ball; team we
have this season. Batting averages are not in
cluded jn the reference files of this . office but
we are aware that some new players named
Johnson, Gonzales and Leininger have been
busting fences up north and that Warren,
Cameron and Manager "Baldy" Peterson have
been banging that onion on the nose. Looks
' like we're going to have a hitting ball club. Now
about the pitching, that may be another story.
And yet, here come the boys home from a pair
of series on the road, only one game short of
even-steven, and with a series victory under
their belt.
Refusing to throw any cold water if any is
to be thrown it will be literal, H20 water, and
the circumstances are entirely out of our hands
, we bespeak for the Senators in their opening
game such a crowd as greeted organized ball
to Salem for the firstiime two years ago. It
should be a great season. It is both patriotic
and' good sense to' stay in town, get our recrea
tion right here in Salem this year. , By presi
dential proclamation, baseball is endorsed
suitable morale-building, distinctively Ameri
can recreation.
Play ball!

Beet Sugar Enlists
If, having registered for sugar rationing, there
is need for sweetening your disposition in lieu
of the customary sweetening of your morning
coffee, the news that the beet sugar industry
is going 'all out" to fill the shortage and the
sugar bin may turn the trick.
It is true of course that this industry has
been ready and anxious to go "all out" in each .
of the recent years but has been curbed by the
federal government, the department of agri
culture having cooperated with the state de
partment to protect the markets of Cuban and
territorial producers. Jt is equally! true that
this newspaper in company with others in the
west scolded the government for this policy
and -now, when our judgment in the matter has
been confirmed though in a manner differing
from our original contention, is no time to
retreat from it. ' . ; j
But all that is spilt milk, or "spilt sugar if
you please. The encouraging news is that a
record crop of sugar beets is in prospect and
that this Pacific slope industry is expected to ,
go far toward overcoming the .' shortage. Of
course it will be 1943 before the results become
generally noticeable. . i
two figures should just about dispose of the
"army of the unemployed" which existed two
years ago.
There is, as a matter of fact, a scarcity of
workers in many localities; just this week it is
reported that a ceiling on war production in tha
Detroit area is in sight due to manpower limita
tions. Jobs are hunting for workers. But
scattered throughout the nation there still are
some 3,600,000 workers hunting for jobs. It is
a matter f incomplete adjustment.
This week has been designated by presiden
tial and gubernatorial proclamation as Employ
ment week. The aim in contrast to that of
similar weeks in most years of the past decade
is that of completing the adjustments to tht
end so that every person shall be usefully em
ployed. Of all the commodities Which should
not be wasted in these times, manpower is tht
most precious, man-hours the most irreplace
able. News Behind

The president had Ample

He based his decision on rec

board decided women would not be needed until
next year, that registration should wait until job

Employment Week j 1
Non-agricultural employment in the United
States has increased 14 per cent since June,
1940, the month in which this nation really be
gan to recognise its role as the "arsenal of de
mocracy." Almost "forty million persons now
are employed, exclusive of agriculture, a gain
of about five inillion. Two million persons
most of whom Were in the labor force in mid
nun now are in th armed service Thos
the White House dinner table.
... "
Conclusion-jumpers around the country seem to
be leaping in mass to the idea that the war will be
over by Christmas, that it is just as good as over
now, Hitler is licked, Japan will fold. That is a
pleasant but dangerous assumption.
A complete answer is suggested by a phrase
dropped by Admiral Stark in a rninor interview
in London. He said this time "we must have com
plete victory."
The axis has waged an all-out war. Only satis
factory way it can end is by all-out peace. Last
time there was an armistice before an allied soldier
had touched foot on German soil. There followed a
political peace wrought by distortion of Wilson's
14 pointsT
The French politicians schemed it as a revenge
for French defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. Jt
settled nothing, only allowed time for Germany to
rearm and take counter-revenge. f
Now even if Hitler's campaign in Russia fails
(it is too early to say yet that it will), even if the
army should take over in Germany this year and
seek an armistice, and even if this should cause
Japan to seek terms later, we will not necessarily
have won.
The only terms possible are unconditional sur
render. We cannot have another "breathing spell
peace to allow the same aggressive elements to get
together in another 20 years and do it all over
again. e Aggressor might must be destroyed per
manently. Consequently anyone who wants to guess on the
curbstone today that Hitler's recently indicated
weakness means the end is near is expressing
only a hope. Official planning here is being done
on an entirely different basis.
Congressmen do not like, the way Leon Hen
derson is establishing his rationing and price con
trol units around the country without consulting
them on patronage. Henderson seems leaning to
ward state councils of defense for personnel and
these are under the governors of states, who have
their own political entourages.
To keep In good with the congressmen, however,
Henderson Is now seeking a liaison man who will
keep his fences mended constantly on Capitol Hill.
Neither State Secretary Cordell Hull nor Com
merce Secretary Jesse Jones was told by the presi
dent of his order divesting them of certain func
tions and transferring these to the board of eco
nomic warfare.
When Hull complained, FDR said something sar
castic about some people in other branches of the
government over-interpreting his move. By "some
persons," he meant Milo Perkins who is running
the board of economic warfare behind Vice Presi
dent Wallace's name.
Jones did not complain although he suffered the
only serious loss (mostly control of raw materials
corporations like the Rubber Reserve Corp.)
The president's warning merely told Perkins not
to take his newfound power too seriously, but it did
not give Hull or Jones anything except consolation.
The big silent front of the wari the past few
weeks has been along the convoy route to Russia.
Absence of news from it suggests the great bulk
of materials from US and from Britain are being
pushed through safely. 1 .
The concentration of effort along that line ex
plains why; the German sub attack upon our At
ltntic coastal lanes was so successful for a time.
Our protective destroyers may have been working
on more important "business. ,
Fall of Mandalay and loss of Burma caused no
surprise here. Anyone who knew what the British
and Chinese had on that fmnf
tnree Jap divisions moving up from the south;
and one mechanized division coming in from Indo
Ouna, knew well the result could not be otherwise.
But the monsoon season is expected to stabilize
matters there just about where they are. Bombing

founder of the Sunshine
Division, well deserves the
monument which it gives him:
Under the heading, . "Captain
Carroll H. Tichenor," the Port
land Oregonian of yesterday
carried a well written, Just and
truthful editorial.
It is an article which merits
copying generally, and especial
ly in Salem; deserving here a
mass of particulars that make
a still more remarkable record.
The editorial article reads:
"Captain Carroll H. Tichenor
of the police department, long
commander of the Sunshine di
vision and the Police Reserves,
will be found to be that almost
unknown character among us
the irreplaceable man.sJt is writ

N. H. asks how to control the
blight which strikes pyracantha
(firethorn). "
Answer: It is now too late
for the first spray of lime sul
fur 1 to 25 solution just before
growth starts in the spring. But
just before the blossoms open,
spray with 1 to 35 solution of
lime sulfur and at two-week
intervals if the season is par
ticularly rainy. This also con
trols the mildew which fre
quently hits the pyracanthas.
D. C asks about Biburnum
Carlesii, soil requirements, place
to plant and propagation. Car
lesii is not particular to soil
conditions but likes best a very
fertile soil that is not too dry.
Also ft wants full exposure to
the soil. Propagation is by soft
wood cuttings. It is best to buy
small specimens as there, is often
difficulty in transplanting larg
er ones. The shrub must be kept
well watered all summer if
planted this late in the season.
Mrs. N. M. sends a little twig
of a feathery foliage with coral
, blossoms. This is a tamarix. This
needs full sun. It is excellent for
the seashore as it tolerates salt
spray and likes the wind. The
soil should not be too heavy. If
your soil is heavy, lighten it
with sand. Prune after flowering.

ticularly If they are prominent,
that they will be missed, that
their places will be difficult to
fill. But from president down to
laborer there is a ladder of prep
aration behind most of us. We
pass from the' scene of labor and
conflict and that scene goes on
virtually as before.
"In the case of CaDtain Tich
enor, it is not so simple. A 'cop
of the old era when college de
grees were uncommon, he was
a hardbitten sergeant - in com
mand of the police " reserves
when, following the first world
war, the regular police force
found it embarrassing to dig
down into their uniform pockets
for handouts; for all the bums
and unfortunate people they en
countered in the course of their
business. Under the then Ser
geant Tichenor's direction, the
police reserves began gathering
groceries and other necessities
for those who were down on
their luck. At first, Christmas
distribution was the principal
thought. Then the activity spread
to the yearj around. And this
program, which had developed
so spontaneously even during the
prosperous' twenties, became a
matter of major importance
when the depression fell at the
beginning of the 1930's.
V s s
"At that time, Paul R. Kelty,
then editor of The Oregonian,
looked around for some agency
which would meet the problem
of the family In dire and im
mediate need some agency to
which we could give our sup
port with assurance that every
cent would go to the emergency
problem. He found that the Sun
shine division the charity or-"
ganization of the police depart
ment and the police reserves
had already j become, under the.
direction of Carroll H. Tichenor,
an organization unique in Amer
ica unique because of the
character of its commander a
man who worried over every
penny, who had suffered pov
erty himself,! who combined the
carefulness and skepticism of
the policeman with the thought
fulness of a man who himself
had suffered!. And from 1930 to
1942, this newspaper has had
the privilege of sponsoring the
annual drivei of the Sunshine di
vision a period during which
the division has grown from a
little organization above the
East Side police station to a
great organization with ware
houses and j stores on Russell
street. r
The point j is that all this has
resulted, in :the main, from the
personality of a single man. No
other city in the United States
has anything even remotely ap
proaching the Sunshine division
of the Portland police depart
ment They all faced, the same
problem when the depression de
veloped at the beginning of the
thirties. But none of them, by
accident or deliberate develop
ment, found a Carroll H. Tich
enor. The police captain who
lies today awaiting his funeral
was one of the truly remarkable
men of America. Many, many
thousands of people are better
citizens because of him. Many
scores of men have laid aside
the highwayman's pistol because
his Sunshine baskets arrived for
their families in hours of des- ;
Deration. We surrender him to
eternity with 'very deep regret,
realizing that here was a man
without great advantages but
with limitless charity and in
domitable wilL who made an
irreplaceable place for himself in
the history of Portland.'
V S
So ends the editorial in yes
terday's Oregonian. Some of the
mass of particulars mafrj up
a remarkable life and shining
record follow.
First, Carroll Tichenor carried
number 71 in the Oregon state
reform school; was the 71st boy
received there; very well known
to this writer, who had a role
in handling the first 400 such
boys, as superintendent of the
institution for the four years
less two months, ending June 1,
1897; the first considerable term
in that position.
(Continued tomorrow.)
"It's not a conference, Es
teUe, said Martha, and added,
"Are you leaving?
"Why not?" Mrs. Gregg's
voice rose shrilly. "Why should
I stay? Tra not welcome here.
I'm not consulted about any
thing. I had every reason to
think this would be my house
but I've been cheated out of it
My son and I are alighted "
She was working herself Into a
genuine hysterical mood.
"Don't get so excited,! Es
16116," urged Martha. Again I
. marvelled at her poise and pa
tience. "My brother did what
he thought was best for all of
us. I have told you all along
that you and Sydney are wel
'come here just as welcome
now as when Walter was alive.
You have your own Income, left
as he thought best don't let's
go over all this again, please.'
The sheriff interrupted.
"Mrs. Gregg, 111 have to ask
you to stay here at Castaway
for the present, at least I have
nothing to act on, right now, to
justify any arrests for the mur
der of your husband. But I am
hoping, every day, that search
for the gun or for the killer
will develop some clue. That's
why I want everybody concern
ed to stay here if It Is possi
ble. In your case, I think, it
Is possible."
Estelle wiped her tearful eyes
with a handkerchief heavily bor
dered In black.
I felt sorry for Sydney, all
this time, standing back of his
mother, and saying nothing. He
spoke now:
"I've been advising my moth
er, .sheriff, that It will be much
harder for her to avoid publicity
if she does go back to the city
than if she stays here. But she
Insists nobody wants her here
she's very unhappy," he added.
He was no longer the cynic.
Martha crossed the room. Her
self-control was admirable.

"For you, sheriff," he said.
Allen reached for the Instru
ment "Please listen on the ex
tension in the haH," he said,
"and see if there's somebody
ringing In on the line. I wont
answer until you get there." J.
crossed the room quickly and
took down the receiver in the
hall.
"This you, sheriff? This Is
Worth Din-fee." I heard a
"click" on the line as somebody
I couldn't tell where took
down another receiver. I could
hear an almost breathless lis
tener. "Something has happened that
makes me decide to add to the
statement I made to you. About
the person hiding In the trees.
I told you I didn't know who
it was. Now I DO know" a
pause. Again I heard or per
haps I felt It somebody hang
ing on his words.
"What's up?" Allen demanded.
"IH drive over at once. -
"I can't tell you .now. But I
can positively identify the per
son. I'll be at my house at 8
tonight and give you the whole
story. Don't come until 8." He
rang off.
"Why wait until 8?" demand
ed Lance. "I don't like waiting."
And It would have been bet
ter if they had not waited.
Lance wanted to leave at
once for Durfee's house, but the
sheriff was firm.
"No use going until the hour
he set," he advised. "He's prob
ably got a reason for wanting
us at eight. Jumping the gun
might spoil the show."
But Lance fretted and fidget
ed with a holster strapped un
der his left arm, beneath his
suede jacket. He looked every
few seconds at his wrist watch
and made us all uncomfortable.
