Court News
Favors Stiff
Fines for Parents
The parent who is fined $25
for the delinquency of his chil
dren will soon bring home to
him the responsibilities of fam
ily life, Justice Arthur D. Hay
of the Oregon supreme court
asserted as he closed his address
before the Salem Lions club
Thursday noon. Speaking on
education, the judge declared
that child delinquency has its
roots in the home and that the
parent is responsible. He advo
cated a stiff fine for the parents
"because that is the only lan
guage some of them under
stand." Justice Hay said too much
emphasis has been placed on
formal education, with many
parents sending their children
to college and university be
cause they thought it was the
thing to do. As a result, he
added, we have an over-abundance
of "white collar men" and
not enough mechanics. "De
grees after a name do not al
ways mean that the person in
volved has anything in the
head," he asserted. He said that
he "doubted if one per cent
of us are capable of original
thinking." ,
Too prolonged process of edu
cation becomes a vice, Justice
Hay said, causing the one in
volved to become exaggerated
over his importance in the
scheme of things. "Many col
lege men teach because they do
not know what to do. The man
who can demonstrate what he is
saying is the man who is the
most successful teacher."

The other raids were against

Merriam Talks
On Geology
It was 44 years ago this
month that Dr. John C. Mer
riam, noted geologist and pale
onthologist, then attached to the
staff of the University of Cali
fornia, made his first visit to
Oregon. Speaking to a group of
persons in Waller hall on the
Willamette university campus,
Dr. Merriam admitted that odd
ly enough, his first visit to Ore
gon was for the purpose of find
ing certain specimens of bones
from the fossil beds of central
Oregon to take back to Califor
nia. During his present stay in
Oregon, with headquarters at
Eugene, he is continuing his in
terest in the John Day valley.
He announced the formation of
"John Day Associates," an or
ganization which, he hopes will
carry on the work of developing
and preserving the fossil beds.
In the interest of the project
it is probable a small booklet
will be issued, carrying a de
scription of the spots involved
and which should be of assist
ance to those who visit the dis
tricts. The title is to be "The
Earth Shall Teach Thee."
During his talk Dr. Merriam
urged a better interpretation of
the aspects of nature that "we
have befor eus." Such an inter
pretation is bound to make bet
ter citizens of those who will
participate, he asserted. .
The speaker was brought here
by the Salem Geological society
which holds monthly meetings
on the Willamette campus.
Navy Classes to
Open in July
Willamette university does not
expect any additions to the 258
men who have been assigned to
the local campus by the navy
department in connection with
the V-12 program, Dr. George
Herbert Smith, president, stat
ed upon his return from New
York where he participated in
a conference of representatives
from educational institutions in
volved. The university has ask
ed for no additions to the list
since there is no desire to crowd
the facilities.
Dr. Smith learned during the
conference that the navy de
partment desires to have -their
men take part in the regular uni
versity program as much as pos
sible with a minimum of em
phasis placed on the military
aspect of their life. However,
the 258 will not come under the
regulation which calls for stu
dent body fees from the regular
students. Officers who will be
in charge of the program here,
who are now attending Colum
bia university, will probably
reach Salem early in July and
classes are expected to get un
der way shortly thereafter.
The men are to be housed in
Lausanne hall and the down
town YMCA.

Yamamoto Regarded Ablest
Naval Strategist of Japan
The followinr cloae-up of th late Admiral
manager of the former United Press bureau In
ese a,t the atart nt the war. He returned
diplomats and newspapermen.
By Robert Bellaire
New York, May 21 (U.R) Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was prob
ably the greatest military and naval strategist Japan ever had,
and his death is a blow to Japan comparable to what the loss of
Gen. Douglas MacArthur would
be to the United States. Outside
of Premier Tojo, Yamamoto was
the best known and most popu
lar of Japan's war leaders. He
was a poker player, a heavy
drinker, and a hard-hitting
fighting man, a man who would
go personally into air combat
anytime.
There is no question but what
he got close to Pearl Harbor
during the sneak attack of Dec.
7. How close no one here knows
for sure, but the report he sent
back is known. It was couched
in poker lingo and it read:
"American held a full house
but we had a royal flush."

Prison Labor
For OPA Work
Inmates of Oregon's state
prison have volunteered for the
task of addressing the 400,000
questionnaires and ration books
necessary to cover the state of
Oregon, Warden George Alex
ander said today.
The ration books were
brought to the prison in a huge
truck under heavy police guard
from Los Angeles, Calif., sev
eral days ago and the prisoners
who have volunteered for the
task of filling in the names and
addresses are waiting the ar
rival of representatives of the
office of price administration
who will supervise the job.
Because of the tremendous
amount of hand labor involved
in this task and the shortage
of manpower at this time of the
year the OPA is understood to
be turning to prison labor all
over the country for this Job
which represents a voluntary
contribution to the nation's war
effort with no pay attached.

Iioroku Yamamoto was written h? the
Tokyo who was Interned by the Japan
to tho United Btatee In th. exchanfe of
may have been harl kari may
well explain what happened to
that long-expected all-out Jap
anese offensive in the Pacific.
He was the brains of any Japan
ese offensive.
Yamamoto frequently said
that he would take his own life
by hari kari rather than loss
any Japanese territory. He re
peated that in a statement when
MacArthur came out of the
Philippines a hero In defeat.
Regardless of how he died,
Yamamoto's death would force
a new man to take over the proJ
jected offensive and that would
cause delay. The offensive has
n't started and meanwhile the
United States has had a chance
to get underway in the Aleu
tians. Thus Yamamoto's death may
have a very strong bearing on
what happens next in the Pa
cific. In June, 1042, when the Jap
anese moved toward Midway
and the Aleutians, Yamamoto
took the defeat at Midway very
hard. He talked very little
about the whole operations.
When he did, he referred to the
Aleutians as the main scene.
There was the gain. But Mid
way he termed a diversion.
There was the defeat.
At the end he said the Aleu
tians had to be covered "be
cause they are the pathway to
Washington."
Check Records
Of Realtors
A complete check of the rec
ords of all real estate brokers
is to be begun immediately in
order to determine the identity
of those firms which are to come
under the operations of the state
unemployment compensation
act. Due to decisions handed
down by the supreme court this
action is necessary, David Cam
eron of the commission told
members of the Salem Realty
board Friday noon.
While it was held several
years ago that salesmen did not
come under the unemployment -act,
more recent decisions have
reversed the earlier opinior,r
Cameron said. A case which
originated in Portland and was
carried to the supreme court by
the realty board of that city,
brought the issue to the fore in
Oregon.
Cameron explained that firms
who did not employ more than
three salesmen and who did not
pay out more than $500 in a
single quarter, were exempt
from the compensation act. He
said that the check of the real
estate offices would be a big
one and asked for the coopera
tion of all concerned.
