SPRAGUE, Editor and Publisher Member of The Assodatedl Press The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this newspaper. Dr. Dillehunt Retires The University of Oregon Medical School at Portland, is the only medical school in the, northwest, and enjoys the highest rating as av school for the training of physicians and sur er Ann. Its ttresent splendid plant and its high professional standing are due in very great degree to the energy, capacity and personality of Richard B. Dillehunt, who is retiring after serving as a member of the faculty since 1911 and as dean since 1920. 1 The medical school has been fortunate in its leaders, first Dr. S. E. Joseph, from: 1887 to 1912, and then Dr. K. A. J. MacKenzie, 1912 to 1920, and then Dillehunt "Dilly" to everyone who knows him. It was MacKenzie who took the school from a single downtown building, with a "free dispensary," out to Marquam hill. But the plant, with the affiliated institutions, has been developed under Dillehunt. From the single building in 1920 a great medical center has been created on the heights overlooking the city. For the medical school proper have been added a fine library and auditorium. In asso ciation are the Multnomah county hospital, an outpatient clinic, the state tuberculosis hospital, the Doernbecher children's hospital,9 and a nurses' home. On a nearby height is located the veterans' hospital. Portland, ! largely through the leadership of the medical school, has become an important center of medical and surgical treatment for the west. Oregonians really do not know Portland's high standing in- this field. Little of the cost of the new plant was borne by the state, asic from the tuberculosis hos pital. Dillehunt obtained numerous large con tributions which put into reality his dreams for a medical center. ; While he is now terminating the task he has carried through the years, after relaxing his load in recent years because of his own ill health, his heart will still be with the institutions on Marquam hill. Portland has al ready recognized him as a "first Citizen," several years ago.' The state as a whoJe owes him much for the enduring work he has performed. Dr. David W. E. Baird, who succeeds him, has served as associate dean since 1937, so he knows his job; and the state board of higher education knows his' ability. He takes over full responsibility with the best wishes of all friends of the medical school. fJ c & f V t ii-fnrM! - ri1 Gty Expansion The discussion which arose a few weeks back regarding overloading of city sewers, attributed to the serving of houses in sections just outside the city limits should revive interest in one of Mayor Doughton's proposals, made when he took office, and that is the extension of Salem boundaries. While the city has a population of over 30,000, there live about its borders several thousand more. They are really part of the ur ban community, working in the city, belonging to its organizations. -Why not have them come Is' as full-fledged voting and tax-paying mem bers of the city? It is true that these property-owners now escape city taxes. Yet these taxes provide es sential services which they really need, such as fire protection, city water, sewer connections. The city cannot be expected to furnish at the , same cost, or at any cost, these vital community services, to those who are outside its gates. And these are quite indispensable for any neighbor-"' hood which is becoming thickly settled. Salem doesn't want to stretch its boundaries to embrace a wide area of vacant acreage, re quiring streets, police and fire protection etc. It would like to include those districts which are urban in fact though not so indicated on the map. . . I In any annexation proceedings the consent both of the city and of the people in the territory to be annexed is required, so there is no danger of roping in these districts without their con sent. Some of the progressive citizens living outside the city limits might well take the lead in supporting Salem's expansion , to take them in. Then the fussing over fire' protection, sew age connections etc, will be over with. PamI Malloa Gty Playfields ' The city playgrounds committee is recom mending a budget of over $14,000 for operating the city's playf ield and swimming pools during the coming year. This is more than twice the v$7000 spent in the current year. The Statesman wants to make one point while this budget -is under consideration: the best way to prevent juvenile delinquency is to do something positive. And in cities that means to provide clean and decent recreation; and diversion for youth. When the time of the boy or girl is not well filled, mischief is apt to result Gangs grow out of the quest for com panionship. . - i - Boys and girls will be busy this summer, but between jobs they will want to swim and play. They deserve this chance all the more because they will be enlisted In the army of production when school ends. So the budget committees of city and school district should study carefully the requests of the playgrounds committee, and do their best to supply the funds which they feel can be used to-good advantage to operate playgrounds and pools. - ': - . ; Congress has a radio room, now for the ben efit of its members, who can' go in,: speak a speech, have it recorded, and then send the plate to stations in their home "deestricks" for the Information and adification of the people. Sen ator Holman, Representatives Ellsworth and Angell have made use of the facility. It is a convenient way of "reaching the people these officials represent, less exhausting than a trip over the territory; and if the listeners do not like the report they can tune out at any time. The famous "drug store cowboys" have rivals. General Somervell pastes a label "drug store admirals on the war strategists who have graduated -from the Monday morning quar terbacks' club. " i Bombs by Trainloads British bombers unloaded more than 2,700, 000. pounds of. high explosives over Duisburg the other night. That is an enormous amount of cargo. In tons it is 1,350. Reduce that figure to freight cars with a minimum loading of 20 tons (coal and ore cars haul much more); and that would mean 67 carloads a whole train.: How would you like to live in a city which had dumped on it out of the skies a freight train load of high explosive? . ; Think of the cargo also in terms of trans portation: the number of planes, many hundreds of them, crossing the channel, crossing The Netherlands, to strike at Duisburg not far in side Germany. And think of the haul in terms of high octane gasoline enormous quantities of it consumed in the flight. And think of the raid in terms of the planes that didn't return, 17 of them, representing the loss of materials and man-hours of labor. Think of the raid also in terms of airfields required, of ground crews as well as pilots, of manufacture and transport of bombs and gas. Remember too that raids on large scale are kept up almost daily from England to the con tinent. Thus you get some idea of the magni tude of the operations of the air forces. News Behind The News By PAUL MAIXON auction to whole or In Mrt strictly prohibited.) (DUtribuUon by King Feature Syndicate, Inc. Repro- WASHINGTON, April 27 The technique of call ing a national coal strike under the breath is not new. The men can straggle out here and there around the country every day or so until a national walk-out grad ually becomes a reality. The government cannot charge miners boss John Lewis with responsibility under these conditions, and could not prove it officially if the charge were made (they may have picked up some evidence indicating verbal orders were issued, but this will not suffice). Mr. Lewis thus puts Mr. Roosevelt in the hole in the first stages of their struggle. The skirmish last weekend by which the Lewis Celanese corporation workers were forced back to their jobs by the president shows, however, how shallow the hole is. Mr. : Roosevelt's order merely said "your government will take steps' if the Celanese workers did not work. Everyone knows he meant the troops would ' move in, take over, and require the resumption of work. Every government authority is confident of Mr. Roosevelt's ability to do the same In the coal strike situation. He has a certain popularity with the miners. Furthermore, AFL and CIO no doubt would throw full labor backing behind FDR in this or any other step. Their positions here have been embarrassed by the Lewis strategy. Members of the war labor board are known to have adopted some interpretations of the executive wage-freezing order allowing correction of in justices, and otherwise moderating it. Also, Man power McNutt has prepared for issuance a series of changes in the order freezing manpower. These labor moderations would have been made ""public before this, had not their issuance now ap peared to be a sop to Lewis. Labor is impatiently awaiting these orders and will exert pressure to hasten a conclusion of the Lewis affair. Highest cards in this game, therefore, still seem to be in Mr. Roosevelt's hand. The national bond drive is winging over the top of its quotas so strongly that people generally may not understand why treasury officials here are privately somewhat disappointed with : the results thus far. The fact is that the big banks and com mercial investors subscribed much more than their quotas, but individual citizens fell short. Experts in the matter say a large number of people apparently let their personal political opin ion of this administration dissuade them from buying to the limit It is no secret some people do not like the waste of war funds they see in their neighborhoods or many other defects In war policy. But the citizen who lets that matter Influence him from buying bonds Is foolishly getting two matters mixed up. The war cannot be won with out money.- v ; You are the soldier on that front. Unless the battle is won you are as much responsible as a soldier who does not do his duty. If you do not like this, government, the constitution provides ways and means for you to get rid. of it at the next election. - The concentration of bonds in the hands of these large investors is not a healthful condition. The restraint on inflation would be less. The cause of preservation of democracy is not served. No matter what you think of Mr. Roosevelt, you had - better buy another bond. - ? ; Rubber Synthesist Jeff era Intends to leave the government sometime in July or August regardless of how his various scraps to protect his rubber program turn out. If there had been no scrapping, he would have completed his job. Now, if the army is successful in getting a major portion of his machinery, there ' will be added reason for his leaving earlier. He wants to get back to railroading. All private reports of returning observers from Tunisia and the MacArthur front sing the praises of the army air corps. Management and efficiency of the air personnel is highly satisfactory to those in the know. Satisfaction also extends to the latest types of planes. One highest civilian authority says enthusiastically: . ; . . , . "They wiU win the war for .' ' ' i The fact that General Ben Lear's appointment as "head of the army ground forces was made tem porary (he is nearly 64) has inspired military rank and, file to hope for the permanent appointment of a young num. (Wounded, distinguished General McNair was 5). Most of the brilliant aggressive military leaders of history were young men. Few people realize that Grant was 39 years old at the outset of the Civil war, Sherman was 41, Sheridan was 30. These three won the war and, at Its finish, their average age was only 40 years. lNS. fe New Novel by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan They Won't Forget this "Tea Today's EacflSo Pirogtramnis KSLM THURSDAY -1394 K.

Twenty 11 - Jelliffe, Bert Sedgwick's man savant, was tidying the bar at the end of the living room about 750 pjn, when there was , a sharp rapping at the "French doors leading onto the sea view terrace of the Sedgwick Del Mar beach, house. ;';."'v.v ?:. v:; . "Oh . . . ah . . . good-evening Miss Templet" n, No doubt you've heard the news" ; y v "Yes, Jelliffe. Open both doors, please!" ' Goggling, Jelliffe hastened to obey. Miss Templeton turned to someone on the sand outside. . "AH right, boys. Bring him In!" A short, sloping-shouldered in dividual with a prominent Adam's apple and a huge oaf of a person, leading a sorrel race horse, entered the living room. "Oh, I say the horse cawn't possibly " - - . "Shut up, Jelliffe. Bring him In, boys!" "Pipe down, limey!" "Yerse!" Miss Templeton turned to Jel liffe. "I shall be using Mr. Sedg wick's bathroom all evening, Jel liffe!" she said, cheerily. "I see you are struck dumb. I advise you to stay that wayl" - Fireman Dunnevan r e a c hed . out his hairy right fist and pass ed it under Jelliffe's nose. "Yerser he said. "The master's bawth Is right this way, boys," said Miss Tem pleton. - . The three of them, followed by The Shamrock, disappeared to ward a rear wing of the villa. Jelliffe was Just beginning to pick up his scattered wits when the two thugs returned. "Don't make no falst moves, Umey!" ' "Shoont I slap him over, Ben ny!" "That will not be necess'ry. I might add that any friends of Miss Templet'n are friends of ours. May I get you gentlemen . a drink?' "Ner!" There was the sound of a ner vous whinny' from the rear wing. : lnora's voice could be heard calling for. assistance. Tim and Benny sprang up and ran to the master's bathrooW Elnora stuck her head out the door. - ' "The beast is .trying to get out!" "You go watch the Limey, Miss Elnora. I an' Tim will stay with Shamrock!" "Well,1 perhaps that's better." Tim and Benny entered the bathroom and Miss Templeton, sighing with relief, went to stand guard in the living room. The horse Felipe, now known as The Shamrock, had come a long way from beans .'and' cab bages! He seemed to realize this. He was standing on the bottom of Mr. Sedgwick's handsome sunken plunge. Encompassing him about were panels of color ed glass and tile, many chrom ium gadgets and. strange odors of English toilet soaps. The Shamrock rolled his eyes at Tim and Benny. He shivered and : snorted., " ' ,; . -, ." Wina rww aalrf Fireman Dunnevan, "you ain't In no wuss jam'n I an Benny." Then, sink- . . - J - .1 1 .L. stool, Tim made a .final sum ming up. "We ain't never been in no Jam like this before, Ben ny. This is orful like a banshee's nightmare. Yerse!" Seaman Linn spat philosophi cally. . - - ! . : ' f. f ' - We're better off than wfd be If The Shamrock was to win 'at race tomorrer. You heard what the Skipper said." The Shamrock snorted and stamped a forefoot. ' , "It aint no way to treat a horse, Benny!" ' "Nor US sailors, neither! ' Then, Seaman Linn was be mused by deeper philosophical moralizings. "Jest look 'at Shamrock, Tim. Three weeks ago he was a happy farmhorse. Now, he's a nervous wreck. He looks jest like Erin Go Bragh looked. 'At's what horse racin can do to a horse." Fireman Dunnevan grunted. "Maybe he Is Erin Go Bragh, Benny!" "Nuts. His feet ain't sore." "They'll be sore if he don't quit stomping, Benny." Seaman Linn lighted a cig arette and stretched out on Mr. Sedgwick's rubbing table. (To be continued) KOAC THTJESDAY 556 K. - 10 AO News. - , r---i Meeting Postponed.
