MacArtlmr Puts
On War in Southwest Pacific;
Staff Smooth; Seldom Excited
By MURLIN
uuuu, MacAKTHUR'S
uci. A-iwiae worid)-One night last week a record flight of
deadly Flying Fortresses lifted from a dusty advanced field
somewhere in New Guinea, climbed over towering mountains
to the east and headed across the south Pacific for Rabaul in
Japanese-occupied New Britain.
Their mission was planned at
tralia; ii is possiDie mat personal
orders from General MacArthur
sent the bomb laden B-17s on
their nocturnal flight Py
It is certain that before the next
day was many hours old,' General
MacArthur knew of the blasted
jetties, twisted machine shops, and
charred supply dumps which the
bombers left behind them at Ra
baul. For MacArthur, - America's '
only few star general serving
abroad. Is keeptnr a firm hand
on the direction of Increasingly
active and Important warfare la
the southwest Pacific
It is a man-sized Job to direct
war over an area greater than the
United States. . The commanding
general must move ., fast, think
fast and outguess the enemy on
land, in the air, at sea.
General MacArthur's workday
starts at 7 a. m. and Lieut. CoL
Charles H. Morehouse of Ticon-
deroga, Six, medical otncer in
-GHQ, says it' never ends.
; "The general has time; for no
thing but work," says Morehouse,
l sr at A a au.
epic escape from the Philippines.
"He accepts no social engage
ments, seldom goes to movies. He
feels nothing is as important as
work. Despite his strenuous
schedule he is physically stronger
now than when he left the Phil'
ippines."
Heading an organization of
handpicked men who ' function
smoothly and efficiently, MacAr
thur's day varies only slightly
when be is at general headquar
ters. - , '
Vohuninoas radioed reports,
covering the 24 hoars prior to
midnight on far flang battle
fronts, are studied first each
day. They come from patrols In
trackless Jangles, from pilots
just returned from hazardous
bombinx missions over New
Guinea, New Britain, the Solo
mon, from wankUM o Derating
at sea. . '.
MacArthur's amazingly reten
tive mind quickly absorbs the key
points in the reports and gives
him comprehensive grasp of the
snuauon.c - . . -
. highly Important ,communJ-
the official record of various bat
tie areas in the southwest Pacific
must be decided upon next Mac
Arthur receives several suggested
tests and decides on the final
'form..'; ;.;! "
The " remaining time before
lunch is devoted to mail and to
military conferences.
MacArthur reads all letters,
answers some himself. Letters
from mothers, fathers and
. sweethearts of officers and men
who were m the Philippines
receive close attention. When-
' ever possible MacArthar gives
them the last available Infor
matiom. --
There are f request conferences
with various officers, his staff,
and most recently with Chief of
Staff Richard K. Sutherland.
MacArthur may pace up and
down the room as he talks with
a seldom burning - cigar ' in his
IiiiiiiI -n Ytm TriraitH '
When a plan is decided upon,
MacArthur issues his directives.
The details are left to officers
who are expected to handles ef
ficiently their ends of the prob
lems. MacArthur wiU back to the
limit an officer who makes an
honest mistake, but he has little
patience with Incompetence
Even when an important battle
. rages in MacArthur's area, there
Is little indication of excitement

Disbarment
For Schmalz
Permanent disbarment of Dist
rict Attorney H. V. Schmalz, Har
ney county, was ordered by the
state supreme court here Wed
nesday. He : was charged with
misappropriating funds from the
estate of Sarah Hamilton Brown,
which Schmalz administered.
The order, other than prevent
ing Schmalz from practicing law
for the remainder of his life, also
disqualifies him as district attor
ney. Gov. Charles A. Sprague will
appoint a successor to Schmalz
to serve until the end of 1945.
The court's order said Schmalz
admitted that he failed to account
for all of the funds of the estate
but he denied any wilful wrong
doing, and pleaded negligence.

Review of Adams
Family Given
By Judge Lusk
"A congressman's duty is to
his country, his whole country.
and nothing but his country,'
John Quincy Adams said "100
years ago and congressman to
day might well pattern their ac
tions after the lead of that dis
tinguished citizen. Hall S. Lusk,
Oregon supreme court Justice,
told Salem Rotarians Wednesday.
Having served one term as
president of : the United . States,
Adami v was defeated for reelec
tion and later was elected to con
gress over the protests of his
friends who thought it was not
fitting that an ex -president to
serve in the national congress.
Judge Lusk said in telling of the
history of , the distinguished
Adams family.
Adams long fight for the right
of citizens to petition their gov
ernment for the redress of wrongs
was given in detail by the speak
er, who pointed out that this is
the 100th anniversary of that long
congressional battle, finally won
by Adams.

Criticized as
Old-Fashioned
NEW YORK, Oct 14 -VP)- The
state penitentiary of Oregon, lo
cated at Salem, was-criticized as
"an example - of old-fashioned
penology" by : the Osborne Asso
ciation, Inc. Wednesday.
The association is a privately
supported national survey or
ganization. It cited the Oregon prison pro
gram as one Desi aescrioea as
stagnant" Which "provides only a
piinimum of essentials for im
provement of redirection of the
prisoners. The association also
held in its annual report that the
orison's methods "although not
overt! r crueL are anything but
constructive. - s -
It charged the administration
with being "satisfied to carry on
in a placid tempo, undisturbed by
newer trends in prison -manage
ment
The report continued: "The
sterility of the program . .' and
the lack of progress during . the
past two ears ... bear witness
to the need of administrative
guidance and control by a cap
able executive with adequate
training? and experience in the
penal and correctional field.
Attached to the report was
letter by Governor Sprague writ
ten in August, 1941, pointing out
that several - improvements had
been made since the investigator
visited the prison. The governor
said: -
"I have not discovered in my
reading of your report any in
accuracies insofar as statement of
fact goes. I am also aware of the
truth of many criticisms, partic
ularly as regards to the lack of
an education program.
"We are "hoping with the con
struction of a new , dining room
and hospital to have space where
certain industrial and educational
activities may be carried on."
The association praised prog'
ress in Washington ana cauior
nia prisons. :' ' '
The association has been sur
veying penal and correctional in
stitutions since 1925. Dean Wayne
Morse of the University of Ore
gon law school is on its advisory
committee.;

Western Lumber
Up3 per Cent for 9 Months
SEATTLE, Oct ItrVfy-K 3
lumber production for the first nine months of 1942 over the
same period of 1941 was reported Wednesday by the West Coast
Lumberman's association.
"This is a record of triumph
the industry has ever contended
with," said the association's re
port, "particularly in shortages of
tires, equipment and manpower.
It is a record that contrasts with
recent pronouncements that the
industry is unable to supply the
war effort ---v;
"While west coast lumber yet
faces a tremendous tide of war
orders,' the industry r has gained
strength in the past year to meet
increasing war needs and : new
war uses 1 for wood soldiers'
bunks, truck bodies, small land
ing barges, many types of heavy
construction."
The weekly average of west
coast production during Septem
ber was listed at86.1 per cent of
estimated c a p a c ity 166,962,000
board feet " The weekly average
of the preceding month was 174,-
173,000. .
- Total production for the first
nine months of the year was 6,-
791,011,000 feet, compared with
6,57454,000 in 1941 and 5.524,
713,000 in 1940.
The industry's unfilled order
file stood at 1,149,806,000 feet
