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."

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.

Full State Honors
Set For De Gaulle
WASHINGTON, July 8 (U.W
A full official welcome and an
elaborate program of state hon-
ors were prepared today for Gen. '
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-

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,

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."

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.
