THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE. OREGON Mayor's Recall Move Answered (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) he tried to run the council by threats of recall. It is a matter of public record that the mayor ordered James Green to draw up petitions for the recall of Council men Kendall, Morris, and Privat, and that because he could not re concile the ethics of this act with hit job as city attorney, Mr. Green resigned his position. t a mayor, lurtnermore, charged the three councilmen with 'conniving with the Mt. States Power company.' This ia totally false because the councilmen have never had a meeting of any sort with the power company officials or made any Diana with them. What the councilmen did was to defer to November 4 an election on the power Question requested for August 5 on petitions. TMs waa done solely as a mean of saving the city money by jumping a number of petitioned lection into one day, and with no possible thought of cheating the people of Springfield out of any of their rights. As a matter of fact, they are perfectly free to vote however they choose on November 4, and can do just as they would have on August 5. ine mayor says that 'two days before the time of the council meeting, it was known on the streets that a clique on the council intended to deny the request of the petitioners and refuse to call an election for August 5. This could not be true because the mayor himself was totally sur prised at the suggestion when it was brought up in council and had nothing at all to say about the deferment at that time. It was not a premeditated move and on the part of the council at that time. but it .did look a wise and rrioney saving thing to do. "we of the council named in the recall move, realize as well as anyone, including the mayor, that good and pure drinking water is of first consideration. We are In terested in doing our share- of government of the city of Spring field with the greatest efficiency and for the best good of the great est number. We do not want any citizen to drink impure water. We do think that it is unfair to spread propaganda about the source of our present supply of water which ia untrue. Newcomers to the town may not realize that Springfield's drinking water at present comes from the- Willamette before it is contaminated by the Coast Fork. "We do not care who owns the system. We are interested in se curing the most advantages pos sible for the citizens of Spring field at the most economic and sufficient expense. We are not chiefly concerned, as are some of the officials of city government, in furthering our own petty ends. "If the people want to vote for our recall, that is their business, Our business hag been to do the Job as we saw it in the fairest and squarest way. We can only offer the real truth in answer to un truth directed aeainst us." G. B. KENDALL R. E. MORRIS ED G. PRIVAT Moil Declares He Is Candidate SALEM. Aug. 28 OP) Ren. James W.

Fadden, who had been acting prime minister during roenzies recent absence in England, was elected unanimously as govern ment leader. Both are members of the coali tion government representing the united Australia and the united country parties. The labor party previously had invited Menzies .to resign in favor of a labor government rather than carry out his plan to return to London for war consultations while holding the premiership. Glenwood Talks Fire and Water (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) water board, with the censent of people at an earlier meeting, had decided to contract with Eugene. Further questions were discussed until the meeting broke up after three hours without formal close as Mr. Husband and one of the audience tried to clarify a point of disagreement. Mr. Hayes traced the process of forming, a rural fire protection district through the stages of con viction of need, petitioning the court for election, election, getting equipment, and training volunteer firemen. Cost of fire house and equipment would amount to ap proximately $10,000 or $11,000, according to the assistant mar shal's estimate. Difficulty in get ting and training firemen was also mentioned. He declared it would take five years to train the department, one year to get the minimum amount of equip ment, and one year to train for 50 per cent efficiency. These fac tors combined with the fact that the area's growth is undetermined led him to advise the group to rent protection until a later time. Junction City's assistant fire chief explained the way in which the rural fire district truck was used by the city in payment for fighting rural fires. He also relat ed the difficulties of building an efficient department, saying that it has taken about 10 years to obtain the present, efficiency. He seconded Hayes' advice, suggested the Eugene fire department was best equipped to help. In discussing the cost of secur ing water from Eugene, Husband told the group the two and one half mill assessment would mean the district would have to pay around S5670 a year. The uncer tainty of finding sufficient water at ' any level and the cost of dig ging a well 1 and building a chlorinating plant make contract ing for Eugene water a better business proposition, he declared. The possibility of water shortage in Eugene was brought up. Hus band said that Eugene water of ficials were unworried on that score. Mr. Husband advised the group that the limit authorized by law for bond issues should be voted in the Sept. 19 election. This will be around $48,000, he said. The meeting broke up by com mon consent when a misunder standing over the amount of as sessment to be levied arose. Sabotage May Lie Behind Gasoline Shortage Controversy WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 U,R) Deputy Defense Oil Co-Ordina-tor Ralph K. Davies declared to day that "Sinister and Planned" sabotage may lie behind the "multiplicity of misinformation" surrounding the gasoline shortage on the-east coast. He was the first witness in a senate investigation of causes of the shortage and means to remedy it. In a 51-page statement to a senate commerce subcommittee, Davies cited "carelessly broadcast" charges that the shortage has been "created artificially to foster a war psychology. Statistics issued by his office, he asserted, have been challenged in the press and by men m public life. . . "One cannot but wonder if- there does not lie behind these efforts to promote confusion and spread dissension, some purpose, sinister ana planned" he said. "Is it possible that we have here an attempt at sabotage?" Timber Sale Made By Umpqua Forest ROSERTTRfV Ctrm .

President, Jap Envoy Confer (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) said. "The conference wa very interesting and there may be an other, or others, later." TOKYO PRESS IRKED TOKYO, Aug. 28. OP) The possibility that Japan will stake her whole far eastern prestige on the issue of United States tankers carrying gasoline and oil to Rus sia's Valdivostok was reflected to day In the Important newspaper Nichi Nichl. 'It ia not a mere .problem of oil shipments it is a tremendous problem which means the success or failure of our international diplomtey," the paper asserted. Japan has made representation! to both the United States and Rus sia against these shipments, con tending their passage close to Japanese territory is causing dis quiet and anxiety in Japan. (Both countries have turned down the protests, Russia warning Japan that any interference will be construed as an unfriendly act.) Mission Criticised At the same' time the Japan Times and Advertiser, controlled by the foreign office, declared the United States military mission be ing sent to China constituted vir tual American participation in the war against Japan. The paper said this action belled any real Intention on the part of Washington of seeking a fair and amicable settlement as propound ed in last Sunday's broadcast by Winston Churchill. The Times and Advertiser said President Roosevelt' explanation that the mission was being sent to study China's needs for war ma terial was only camouflage for in corporation of the mission into Generalissimo Chaing Kai-shek's general staff. Nirhl Nichi said the Japanese Lrepresentatlon to the United States concerning shipments to Vladivos tok was "almost too reasonable." The American shipments are humiliating to Japan, which is de nied them, the paper declared.' It predicted the Japanese gov ernment would carry out Its de terminations courageously and without hesitation now that the at tention of the entire population was focused on the American ves sels bound for Vladivostok.
