For a year after his return to
i the city to make his home he
practiced law here. At the time
of the Spanish American war he
. for 18 months as "US appraiser
of customs.'' In 1910 he was di-
' rector of the census - for a large
portion of western Oregon, filling
the same position in 1930, when

" .Robert Jackson Hendricks was
' born May 6, -1863, on a farm in
Coooer hollow. Fouc county, De-
tween Dallas and Monmouth, son
of Mr. and Mrs. David Russell
Hendricks. He had his e a r 1 y
schooling at Jacksonville and
Athena and served his appren-
tiMoMn a ih nrinU ri trade at
Roseburg and Eugene.
At the age of 16 he began his
: newspaper career, and a year
' later , became editor and manager
of the Roseburg Plaindealer.
. While a student at the University
- of Oregon, he utilized his spare
time operating a Washington
hand press, doing job - printing
and setting type, for the Oregon
State Journal, published by Har
rison R. Kincaid in Eugene from
1864 to 1909.

while yet a anlversity student.
With George H. Saubert, also
from Roseburg, he bought the in

Statesman, and became ; editor
and manager of the paper, con
tinuing at that post for -44 years.
Others bought and sold interests
In the newspaper, but Mr. Hen
dricks continued as the head of
the institution.
The enterprising young owners
of The Statesman in 1893 bought
the second and third linotype ma
chines in the state, were firmly
optimistic not only about the fu-
' ture of the then-new labor sav
ing devices but about the state as
a whole and the Willamette val
ley in particular. - -
At his editorial desk Mr. Hen
dricks felt the pulse of the com
munity as he, an ardent worker
for the state's advance, knew it.
j For "many years, up to the time
1 of his death, he was a member
of the board of trustees of Wil
lamette university, serving much
of that time on the important
. faculty committee. Long active
on the directorate of the Salem
YMCA, he had served as presi
dent of that body and was an in
terested participant in the work
a First Congregational, but of oth
i er denominations in Salem as
well. He was for a number of
"years a member of the city library
board.
As a newspaperman, he made
the force of his publication felt
' outside the area of Its actual
circulation by employing nam
erous young men from the uni
versity here, and from nearby
Institutions of hlxher learning"
r who, under his tutelage, became
outstanding in the field of Jour
nalism ever the nation.
In 1928, he and his partner of
25 years, Carle Abrams, sold the
publishing company to Earl F,
- Brownlee and Sheldon F. Sack
i ett, who later, at separate inter
vals, sold to Charles A. Sprague,
present owner. But Hendricks
remained as editor emeritus and

Farm; Worker

1 ' ! :
Deferment Rules Are
Liberalized, New (
Crops Listed j
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-P)
Selective service announced Tues
day it was liberalizing its rules
for deferment of farm workers,
an action which followed j con
gressional criticism that many
farms were being crippled by in
duction of their workers into the
armed forces.
Wide discretionary authority,
however, was left with local
boards, which may set the j stan
dards for deferment high or low
as their judgment dictates, i
A new guide for the boards,
approved by the department of
, asrlenitmre, the war manpower
commission and farm organisa
tions, provides that a local board
. weald be Justified la some eases
. in deferring an agrlealtaral
worker vho prodneed :- as little
as eight war units of , essential
prodaets. In the past. If anlts
was the standard.
A war unit Is a measure of pro
duction of essential farm pro
ducts. For example, one milk cow,
one acre of beets and one acre of
carrots, each represented one war
unit. Twenty feed, lot cattle like
wise comprise a unit.
Thhe WMC said, howveer, that
production of 16 units would re
main as the national objective" of
each farmer, although that stan
dard would not be used in grant
ing deferments.
In addition to revision of the
war unit standards, several addi
tions were made to the list of es
sential products for whose pro
duction farmers may be defer
red. . ,
Furthermore, selective serv
ice boards were advised! that
when. In their opinion, an agrl
ealtaral worker who Is not pro
ducing at least eight war units,
could produce them If employed
elsewhere, the board should no
tify the WMC'i local employ
ment office and allow 30 days
for placement of the worker on
another farm.
The new guide also directed
that deferred agricultural workers
should not be reclassified if they
move from one agricultural job
to another as long as they contin
ue to be necessary to the war ef
fort. Crops added to the original list
of essential products include to
bacco, short staple cotton, wood
products, ducks and geese, goats,
vegetable seed and honey. The
original list of fruits - was made
more detailed.

Russian Pianist Here
On Crescendo Series
Shows Fine Technique
By MAXINE BUREN
George Chavchavadze, dynamic
Russian pianist, appeared on
Tuesday night at the Salem high
school auditorium as third in a
series of four artists to perform
under the sponsorship I of the
school's Crescendo club during the
season.
This personable man. tall and
dark, who lived on the island of
Jersey before it was Invaded by
ue utnnans, now calls New Jer
sey "hOTM." i
He presented a vigorous and
spectacular program, sparing nei
ther himself nor his audience.
The pianist opened his program
with Schumann's sonata in G mi
nor and followed with nine nre-
ludes by Chopin, then a sonata
y tropin as the conclusion of
the first group. ?
In the second part of Hs Pro
gram, Chavchavadze showed what
hi remarkable strength, combined
with ; h i s excellent technique.

the vigorous march from Pro-
Konerx-s i "Love for the! Three

army and the public alike that
Hitler's boasted intuitive military
genius has suffered a third cru
cial failure in Russia despite all
his victories there.
Like the die-hard Russian de
fense : of Moscow a year ago,
which gave Hitler by his own ad
mission his previous darkest hours
of the war, his failure to turn the
north flank of the Moscow main
bastion at Leningrad or to crum
ple up its southern prime outpost
at Stalingrad appears to wreck
his whole, victory concept in the
east Soviet leadership undoubt
edly is already moving to exploit
the relief of Leningrad. As it
has already the .no less miraculous
defense of Stalingrad.
There have been German inti
mations of how and where that
next Russian blow in the north
Is to falL although Moscow! has
released no word of it Nazi high
command bulletins have repeated
ly mentioned for weeks Russian
pressure in the Lake Hmen sector,
south of Leningrad and north of
the Valdai Hills,
That is the direct rente to the
Fskev gateway Just sooth ef
the Peipus lake chain that forms
most of the Rasstan-Esthonuui
frontier. By every ladleattoa
Rassian heavy forces have been
albbliag westward toward that
vital communications key af the
whale Bast northern flank and
are within 109 miles or of
Pskov Junction.
Berlin has finally admitted loss
of the Celiki Luki nazi stronghold
on the Lovat.
There is striking similarity in
the situations on both the north
and south flanks of Hitler's de
teriorating Russian front. Pskov
is no less a key to his northern
flank, including what is left of
the Russian-broken Leningrad
siege ring, than Rostov is to his
retreating southern flank in the
Caucasus and astride the Don.
With Leningrad released at last
from Nazi investment, however,
there are more glittering possibili
ties of driving the foe off Russian
soil on that flank than in the
south. What seems indicated in
the north is an attempted repeti
tion of the strategy that trapped
an axis army to its destruction in
the Stalingrad pocket.
It is now clear that the Rus
sian purpose In the Stalinxrad
operations, once the nasi attack
stalled, was not to throw, the
enemy back there but to pin him
in place for entrapment and an
nihilation. 3rd Daughter

OTTAWA, Jan. 19-(P-A third

Netherlands. y
Both mother and daughter are

The birth was at 7 p. m., East

The birth made no change in
the succession to The Netherlands
throne. A son would have, become
automatically heir to succeed his
grandmother, the reigning Queen
Wilhelmina, and his mother, the
heiress apparent. !
A male has not been born to
The Netherlands House of Orange

The princess is the third daugh

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
NORTH AFRICA, Jan. 19 (ff)
A spokesman for Gen, Henri Gir-
aud's French headquarters an
nounced Tuesday that a French
camel corps had captured Gat and
Serdeles, 500 miles south of Trip
oli and had wiped out all axis oc
cupation in the Sahara desert ex
cent Gadames. which la - now
threatened from all sides. ' '
Gadames is the Italian fort in
Tripoli tania just across the bor
der from the Fort Saint Anchor
of the Mareth fortified line in
Tunisia behind - which Marshal
Erwin Rommel may attempt to
take refuge.
Capture of Gadames, however.
would seriously threaten the turn
ing of that line even before it is
occupied.
The spokesman said the camel
corps had effected a complete lia-
son with Brig. Gen. Jacques Le-
clerc's Fighting French forces at
Ubari, 125 miles east of Serdeles,
and that both forces were now ad
vancing towards Tripoli with the
French camel corps protecting the
Fighting French left flank.
The problems of water supply
no longer were acute, and Rom
mel was faced with the imminent
decision as to whether to try to
stand at. Tripoli which In allied
hands would provide an excellent
base for bombing Tunisia or to
attempt a general withdrawal at
once on westward into Tunisia
itself.
New allied air attacks on the
enemy airdrome at -Castel Benito
near Tripoli also were announced
by the Cairo command, which said
that 30 .fires had been set off
among dispersed planes. Along
with raids on Tripoli itself, there
were destructive assaults on an
enemy traffic junction southeast
of Tripoli, and attacks on enemy
transport moving between the Tu
nisian ports of Sfax and Gabes
along the line Rommel would
have to use to" retreat into Tu

ner party last September In which

-. Meanwhile ' the state parole
board made known that it would
ask the legislature to submit again
the p r o p o s d constitutional
amendment making r possible - a
statutory enactment restoring the
voting privilege to persons con
victed of crime after their prison
terms have been served. It was
pointed, out mat the measure was
defeated, last November only by
a narrow margin and that a bet
ter public understanding of the
purpose might bring about a re
versal of the verdict. j
Seeking an approximation of
the "determinate sentence" sys
tem operative in other states, the
parole board also will -ask legis
lation requiring circuit judges to
impose the maximum sentence in
criminal cases or, if mere is no
legal maximum, to set a maxi
mum of not less than 20 years.
The purpose if not more severe
punishment but uniformity plus
greater leeway for parole at the
board's discretion. W .
It was pointed out that the dis
crepancy between sentences im
posed for identical crimes is not
conducive to convict morale, and
that in administering the state's
new policy of releasing, as many
convicts as possible on parole, the
boa rd encounters difficulty in
connection with one -year sen
tences. Persons serving such sen
tences are disposed to reject pa
role unless it is offered promptly
after they have served the mini
mum period, five months; for
with "good time credit they are
due for release at the end of ten
months. i
Marion county Sens. Fred Lam
port and John Carson have been
asked to introduce this legislation.
The parole board also asks re
peal of a 1905 "bench parole" law
which has been superseded by
other enactments.
-The senate passed, but sent;

rence in amendments, the bill I

That bogey which is rearing its
head in March, taxes, was the
chief subject of discussion when

members of the Salem Kiwanis
dub Tuesday afternoon. The new
secretary of state, selected for his
topic, "What I Would Be Thinking
About If X Were a Member of the
Leglslature'V and immediately
gravitated to the tax problem.
Farrell approved change of the
present tax law to payment In
quarterly installments rather than
sexni-anuually and suggested a
40-jnill property tax. .. He pointed
out; the hard road laying ahead
for income . tax collectors this
year who will have to track down
the! thousands of new residents in
Oregon attracted by defense jobs.
Property taxes should be adjusted,
he declared, since the federal gov
ernment has taken over sq much
land in the state for military en
campments. Compensation by the
national government or a higher
levy on the remaining state prop
erty holders was foreseen. Ore
gon has the highest income tax
and excise tax of any state in the
Unted States, Farrell declared,
his; policy would be a "walk softly
and travel far. Only suggested
legislation j has : been abandoning
driving examinations for licensed
drivers under 70 years of age, at
