Page Two. THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Council Backs : Health Officer; Lashes Speeders ' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) j and fire department positions. Dr. Anderson explained at this meet , Ing and was supported by W. L. Van Loan, president of the Lane ' County Health association, that . the duties of a public health of I ticer do not include actual medical work but lie in the field of pre i vention and control of disease, ,, unitary inspections, etc., and that it was desirable that some change I' b made in the city's policy of de- manding this service of the city ; health officer. ! Councilman Sam Bond declared that this policy had been set by the civil service commission and that the council would leave the matter up to that group to sug gest any change. Dr. Anderson agreed to examine the present candidates for civil service jobs on his own time in his own office as a means of cooperating with the council. Several council members brought out the fact that the city's $1,000 contribution to the county city health budget does not go di rectly to Dr. Anderson's salary but to the general support of the health program. Support of the council was giv en the police committee and the police department in the strict en- I hUnd at Miriiwhi tvhltm kin 90 pnqf.

The officers both in cars and afoot will "crack down" on all offenders, ac cording to Mr. Bond, The council also authorized Recorder John Fields to impose stiffer penalties for traffic violations. Definite speed limits are to be set in the city which will be an nounced before the enforcement campaign begins and then burden of proof in the event of an arrest will rest with the driver and not with the police officer. It has been suggested that the 25 mile per hour speed limit for cities be upped to SS miles on through streets. Reports on the U. S. army biv ouac site on West Thirteenth ave nue, on hangars at the airport for the private fliers, and on preven tion of the smoke nuisance were held over until the next meeting. The council heard a report filed by Chief C. F. Bergman and ap proved by Mayor Elisha Large and Sam Bond, chairman of the police committee, disciplining Sergeant Roy Wilcox and Officer Joseph Cullender for violations of the civil service code. Wilcox was demoted from ser geant to patrolman and suspended for 30 days without pay beginning immediately for carrying on a business for profit outside his po lice duties. He is allegedly main taining a cabinet shop just outside of Eugene. Cullender was sus pended for 10 days without pay for discourtesy to the public. He allegedly engaged in an alterca tion with two motorcycle riders In March of this year. C. A. Horton's audit of the city books for 1940 was approved and placed on file. The hiring of a man at $4 per day to mow the grass and weeds on city lots was ap proved. Permission was given the Pageant association to hold the kick-off parade 6n June 14, and the Firestone company was or dered t6 erect a barrier of some nature to keep cars at the station from parking 6n the sidewalk. A bill of sale was issued to J. E. Coldren for his bam located on the airport property. In answer to the Eugene Fruit Growers' request for a special gar bage hauling license the council approved the creation of a new special $25 per year license for persons or businesses to haul burn able wastes to the city dump. This is for non-c6mmerial uses. Following the adjournment of the council W. J. Smith, president of the Oregon Wild Life Federa tion presented a colored moving picture and a talk on the pollu tion of the Willamette river and the need for control. He praised the steps being taken by Eugene towards the construction of a dis posal plant. School Board Ousts Carnival (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) notified of the board's decision and so could take no action. The board gave its unanimous and enthusiastic approval of the plans to create sub-districts with in' the city to handle the shifting school population. A map show ing these districts is now being prepared and will be printed in the paper soon. Compulsory at tendance of children in each dis trict at the school of that district will begin next fall. The resignation of Dallas Nor ton, Eugene high school social liv ing teacher, was accepted. Mr. Norton will become principal of the Lorane high school. The res ignation of Miss Irene Haubrick (Mrs. Alyn Shaw) second grade teacher at Lincoln was also ac cepted and Miss Thelma Sundrud, now of Oswego, was named to fill tne vacancy. Mr. Norton's place will be taken by the return of Edgar Goodnough who has been on leave of absence to attend school in Hawaii for the past year. G. D. MacLaren. chairman of the board, was designated as the schools' representative to the joint Lane county defense end canton ment council. The Sigman-Fell insurance agency will write the clerk's bond for the next year. uavia uranam, state superin tendent of adult education, was a guest at the meeting and discuss ed future plans for education and Americanization in Eugene.

There have haan raexswt Viat French Dakar, on the rim Of the Airican hump, is being used as a reemlnr TT-hnaf hnan hv tha Germans. These reports still must oe accepted with reserve, for the reason that the use of a base im plies the availability of adequate supplies, and fuel oil, among other things, must be imported by French West Africa. Probably however, a limited supply of oil still axists at Dakar, sent there originally for the use of the French naval units now holed up in the harbor. The Robin Moor appears to have been sunk 600 miles south of the Cape Verde Islands (or roughly the same distance south west of Dakar). The date was May 21, according to official reports to Washington. That was four days before Ger man Grand Admiral Eric Raeder charged that United States Atlan tic air and naval patrols were ag gressive and warned against their extension, saying in the same breath that use of American con voys would be an open act of war. It was just six days before President Roosevelt declared that nazi occupation of Dakar, the Cape Verde Islands and The Azores "would directly endanger the freedom of the Atlantic and our own physical safety." It may be that for the time being the Robin Moor sinking Is an isolated Incident and that the axis, unable to obtain adequate supplies at nearby bases and threatened constantly by British warships from Gibraltar, will be unable to conduct extended war fare In the south Atlantic until Gibraltar is made useless aa a British naval base. On the other hand It is possible that a number of long-range axis submarines already have been sent into South Atlantic waters on a mass hit-and-run expedition which will last until shortage of fuel and other supplies forces them back to Italian Mediterran ean ports or to the west coast of France.

The rich agricultural and tim ber resources of the valley which to a large extent are shipped to all parts of the country and which are vital in the. defense program would be endangered by floods, both in the natural state, in the industrial plants, and on the way to market. Another important point orought out is that a flood today would cause more damage than 50 years aen beraiiRA murh mnri timber has been removed from the mountains and the waters from the melting snow would run off much more rapidly. An incidental result of the proj ect but one very important to the national defense nlans is the reconstruction of roc and high ways which would bi .ecessary in the building of these dams, par ticularly the Detroit dam on the North Santiam.

Skirmishes There was no specific report of any military clashes in Syria which seemed to amount to more than brief skirmishes. Diplomats in Ankara heard re ports that the Allied columns al ready had reached Damascus. The reports said that only slight re sistance was being offered by the French and there were no indica tions there that the Axis would come to the aid of the French. The Turkish view was that Syria would be occupied by the Allied troops within a week or two at most.

He said Germany was allow ing Italy to occupy all of Greece and that Greece is now part of Italy's Mediterranean "living sphere." Churchill's address was devoted to a spirited defense of the British campaign in Crete which had been under parliamentary fire. British Lose 15,000 He placed British losses at 15, 000 men killed, injured, taken pris oner or missing, slightly less than half the expeditionary force. In addition, the action cost the British four cruisers and six de stroyers. He estimated German losses at 5,000 men drowned, 12,000 killed or wounded, 185 fighters and bombers destroyed and 250 troop carriers destroyed. A dispatch from Harold Peters, United Press staff correspondent, reported that heavy fighting was in progress between the Litanl river and Saida, 22 miles south of Beirut. Some quarters believed that French resistance would crumble bile as it approached their "no man's land."
