' Meanwhile, Iran's next-door-neighbor,

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."

Australian Prime
Minister Resigns
CANBERRA, Australia, Aug. 28.
(U.PJ Prime Minister Robert G.
Mnric recisnMi todav and A. 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?"

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.
