Eucene RegWer Cuard, Thur.d.y. July 6, 1941 j Hftmm Installed Head of Lions Club O'Connor Defends Ksnny Treatment PORTLAND, July B Defense of the Sister Kenny paralysis treatment was offered by Basil O'Connor, president of the national foundation of Infan tile paralysis, here yesterday. The famed Australian nurse'i system of treating paralysis by physical therapy was under fire recently by seven doctors who reported to the American Medi cal association that her treatment had not prevented or decreased the effects of the disease in 650 cases they studied. "Our foundation has spent over a half million dollars testing and evaluating the Kenny treatment and making the good of it avail able to the public," said O'Con nor, who was formerly a law partner of President Roosevelt. He credited the Kenny treat ment "which is not advanced as a cure" with considerable merit. "This controversy has stimulated a great deal of research and in vestigation, and some of our greatest medical discoveries have come as a result of controversies." NJ-I 1I Light Carriers Stinging Japs uriSHiMflTDNJiPt The navy . has diseased that nine light air craft carriers, built on cruiser hulls, have taken over a big and important tactical role in the war against Japan protection for big carrier task forces. 'They have a deadly sting," renorted the navy In revealing the I duties to which the USS Inde pendence, Princeton, Belleau Woods, Oowpens, Moneterey, Cabot, Langley, Bataan and San Jacinto have been assigned. "Airmen from a light carrier," the navy continued, "Join up with the larger air group from a big carrier to add a greater punch in a strike upon enemy shipping or Islands. "Or the light carrier's pilots as sume the vital job of protecting the task force against enemy at tack, thus freeing the larger car riers entirely to concentrate upon the mission of assault. "Some of the interceptions ac complished by protective planes from the light carriers have been spectacular; entire formations of attacking Jap bombers have been shot down before they could even get within sight of the fleet." The "Sun Setters"' officers and men of navy air group 23, operat ing from one of the ships, the navy said, "helped establish the worth of the light carriers in the fleet." When they sailed into the Pa cific last year, the place and func tion of the light carriers were un known. Now the "Sun Setters" are back in the United States, their worth and the worth of the light carriers proved at Makin and Tarawa; in the Solomons; at Rabaul, teamed with the big car rier Saratoga; in the Gilberts, in the Marshall Islands, in the Caro lines and off Hollandia. ha imltf nolntej out.

' Charles de Gaulle, who will ar- rive here at 4 p. m. for confer ences with President Roosevelt In an effort to smooth the troubled relations between the United States and de Gaulle's committee of national liberation. The White House and the state department revealed details of a program that will give de Gaulle military and diplomatic honors i usually "reserved for heads of states. No agenda has been prepared, which means that no subject will be specifically Included or ex cluded from discussion. What might have been a major stumbling block to amiable dis cussions apparently has been ell-N minated the specific question of recognition. Secretary of Slate Hull said yesterday he understood the talks would be on a general rather than specific level, con firming the assertion of French sources that de Gaulle did not plan to press for legal recoEnl- Hon.

Crumbaker Speaks Dr. Calvin Crumbaker, Univer sity of Oregon economics depart ment faculty and one of Eugene's city council members, was guest speaker for the program, discuss ing somo points to think about as the country observes the 168th an niversary of the Declaration of Independence. Mentioning the two, concepts of yovernment: One, where the citi zens are the end and objective, government existing for the peo plev secondly, that type where the state is supreme, or, as he stated it, individualism vs. collectivism, Crumbaker said it is well to con sider some moves and changes going on today. Referring to An drew Jackson and Abraha Lin coln as outstanding exponents ot democracy, and of Individualism, Crumbaker said we might well give though to the matter that iwrhups we have changed our thinking regarding our govern ment without realizing It. It is well that we think through on our definitions of democracy, of the term state and of collectivism, which in some forms can set, up a type of progress too. The im portant things to consider are where are we going, what Is the future, and If some of our think ing is changing, is It constructive, port of the SUV auxiliary; Mrs. D.- C. Driscou oi ine wl; mrs. B. M. Harnden of the Navy Moth ers: Mrs. Carl Pfelffer of the DUV, and Mrs. A. R. Tiffany of the DAE. Department Command er Smith will respond.

State Commission Purchases Bonds SALEM, July 8 (Special) Participation of the state of Ore gon in the fifth war loan amount ed to a purchase of $4,888,440 as fixed by the state bond commis sion on recommendation of State Treasurer Leslie M. Scott, and was announced by Governor Eajrf Snell, chairman. L. O. Arens, member state industrial commis sion is the other commission mem ber. The bulk of bonds purchased is ot early maturities, according to Scott, which was deemed neces sary because of the needs of the state for cash to carry on its ac tivities such as post-war plans beneficial to returned servicemen and industrial workers no longer engaged in war plant work.

Fox said that if the entrances were not sealed now, it would be a week or perhaps longer before the mine could be entered. The number of presumed dead was established by counting the missing head lamps, Fox said. Earlier, the doomed men had answered the tappings of rescue workers on a water pipe running through the mine, and some hope was held then for their rescue. But the rescue crews, including some of the 150 men who were in the mine when the fire broke out and made their way to safety, could do nothing after the one fire which had been extinguished flared anew. Rescue crews sobbed without shame as they abandoned their etforts and emerged grimy and weary fMm the shaft. Many had brothers and other relatives trap ped inside. One of the rescue workers de scribed the air as "a red hot furn ace the hottest place 1 ever was." WEDDING REPORTED BELLFOUNTAIN.

Hill, Wood burn, Ore., told today how an American infantryman killed three German officers with a rifle grenade that didn't ex plode. The private tossed the gren ade at the Germans as they hurtled by in a motorcycle and sidecar. "But," Hill related, "he was so excited he forgot to pull the pin in the grenade which is propelled by a blank cartridge." It didn't make any difference. The grenade smashed against two of the officers, killing them immediately, and the driverless cycle skidded off the road, fat ally injuring the third German against a stone wall. After that, Hill said, the pri vate recovered his unexploded grenade from a tree and marched off to find a new target.
