I feet free to take this step at this time because the critical period during which I again assumed office has passed. As you know, I have many personal interests to which I now desire to devote most of my time. Grandfather's Choice "I shall be glad to remain on the board, and to assist in an advisory way. May I recommend to the board that it consider the appointment of my grandson, Henry Ford II, as my successor. "To the officers and directors, I extend my thanks for the cordial cooperation always given me and to which is due so greatly the success of the com pany." It was the second time the elder Ford had resigned the pre sidency of the company he founded in 1903. He was presi dent of the company until De cember 31, 1918, when he was succeeded by his son, Edsel B. Ford. On June 1943, a few days after Edsel Ford's death he again assumed the office. His grandson and namesake, who had enlisted in the navy and advanced to the rank of lieutenant, was released follow ing his father's death and be came vice-president of the com pany on December 15, 1943. Some Ideas Differ The younger Henry Ford was born in Detroit on September 4, 1917. He was married on July 13, 1940, to Miss Anne McDonnell, at Southampton, L. I. They have two daughters. He takes over direction of a company with assets in excess of $1,000,000,000. It began with an initial paid-in capital invest ment of $28,000. His election lo the highest office in the company is not ex pected to bring any sudden changes in company policy, al though his associates admit he has many ideas differing from those of his famed grandfather. Throughout the presidency of Edsel Ford, the elder Henry Ford remained the dominating influence in the company's affairs. Full Story (Continued from Page 11 Herbert Brownell, republi can national chairman, and New York state Banking Superin tendent Elliott W. Bell, both mentioned as possessing the in formation, said they would de fer comment until they read the article. , Chamberlain said Dewey's decision to remain silent came after Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, said lives would be lost if the Japanese learned America had cracked the "ul tra" code. "More than 15 hours before Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt and the members of the Washington high command knew that the Japanese envoys were going to break with the U. S. the next day," Chamberlain wrote. "The only thing (they did not know was the precise point of the military attack, which they as sumed would be toward the East Indies andor at the Phil ippines or Guam." Confirm Story New York, Sept. 21 UP Her bert Brownell, Jr., Republican national chairman, and another lop advisor to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in the 1944 presidential campaign said today the gov ernor knew during the cam paign that the United States had "cracked" Japan's secret code, but that Dewey declined for patriotic reasons to use the in formation. Brownell and Elliot V. Bell, state banking commissioner, made the statement in comment ing on an article in the current issue of Life magazine which says that Gov. Dewey possessed knowledge, during the cam paign, that the late President Roosevelt had been forewarned of a Japanese attack. Lack nf Coordination "Our information indicated, among other things," Brownell said in a statement, "shocking lack of coordination between the president, the state depart ment and the armed forces leading up to the tragedy of Pearl Harbor." Dewey made his decision not to use the information, the na tional chairman said, after Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, had advised him to do so would tip off the Japs that their code had been broken, and might impede, the war effort and imperil "untold American lives." Patriotic Decision "In the face of this." Brown ell continued. "Gov. Dewey de cided and told me. that he would not use the Pearl Harbor data because he believed in Gen. Marshall's integrity and he would rather be defeated for president than to risk sacrific ing needlessly the life of a sin gle American boy." Bell, at a press conference. said Dewey's decision "was one of the most extraordinary ex- "VI Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Friday, Sepf. 21, 194" 9 Henry Ford II Salem Man Accused by FBI Norman S. Smith, 1464 Greg son street. Salem, is accused by the federal bureau of in vestigation, of being implicated in the theft of a piece of ma chinery valued at $500 from a Vancouver shipyard. With Smith was arrested Leonard A. McCoy of Battle Ground. Wash., a yard foreman whom, it is al leged. Smith induced to assist him in the theft of the ma chinery which is government property. McCoy was foreman in the shipyard's maintenance depart ment on the graveyard shift un til his arrest Wednesday. Smith left the shipyard July 20. They are charged with stealing a $500 Toledo pipe-cutting and threading machine from the yard July 1. Harry Sager, United States attorney at Ta coma, filed the complaint in Tacoma Wednesday. FBI officers said at Van couver that Smith, former jour neyman in the maintenance de partment, and McCoy loaded the machine into McCoy's au tomobile and smuggled it through the gate, taking it to Smith's home in Salem, where it was recovered Wednesday. The FBI investigators said that Smith paid McCoy $100 for his part in the deal. School Board Must Pay for Inaction Parents of children deprived of school in their own districts by inaction of a school board, have the right to send their chil dren to another district and to require the school board of their own district to pay for the chil dren's tuition and cost of trans portation. Attorney General George Neuner ruled today. The ruling was made for Su perintendent of Public Instruc tion Rex Putnam in connection with action .planned by school district No. 85, Marion county, in which the schoolhousc has been declared unsafe by the state bureau of labor. Pullman Held To Grand Jury Robert Theodore Pullman was held to answer to the grand jury today in a preliminary hearing on a charge of assault while armed with a dangerous weapon. His wife. Dorothy, died at a local hospital Tuesday night from a gunshot wound in the head inflicted in the early morning of September 9. Pull man contends the gun was fired accidentally in a scuffle. Sev eral witnesses were called. The first witness was Dr. C. D. Wood who testified to the na ture of the wound. Some of the shot from the small-gauge shot gun, he said, had penetrated the brain at the right temple, caus ing a paralysis of the left side. No powder burns were shown about the wound, he said. Other witnesses were Mr. and Mrs. Mike Gonzales who were out with the Pullmans at two taverns prior to midnight. Gon zales, notwithstanding a state ment he had previously signed, said he was very hazy in his rec ollection of what had happened, though he did recall some trou ble the Pullmans had while be ing driven home by the. Gon zales. Mrs. Gonzales had a clear remembrance of what occurred. Both she and her husband testi fied that Pullman apologized to his wife and showed affection for her. but that she was angry when they left the Gonzales car. Girl Wives to Attend School All children between (he ages of 16 and 18 are required by law to attend school or to be legally employed, regardless of their marital status, Attorney Gen eral George Neuner ruled today. However, school boards have the authority lo excuse any child from school under certain conditions if the child has com pleted the first eight grades. The opinion was requested by Lester A. Wilcox, assistant sup erintendent of the state depart ment of education, in connection with a question of whether a 17-year-old married mother was required to go to school. In another opinion, Neuner advised the Oregon state board of barber examiners that it has no authority to waive any re quirements for examinations of out-of-state barbers. In response to a query from Senator Lew Wallace, Neuner ruled that state census can be taken only through machinery and procedure provided by leg islature. Wallace also was advised that certain bills affecting only Mult nomah county are valid and their constitutionality would not be inquired into by courts on the grounds that provisions regard ing representation from various districts had not been complied with. The bills. were passed by votes of legislators represent ing dislricts outside of Multno mah county.

Bell said he had "no informa tion or opinion" on whether Roosevelt was aware of Gen. Marshall's request to Dewey not to use the information. He de clined to say how Gov. Dewey obtained information that the secret Japanese code had been cracked. Lt. Bohrerof Red Cross Here In Salem on leave is Lt. Mil dred Ann Bohrer of the Red Cross nursing service, who wears the insignia of merit awarded for superior perform ance of a hazardous mission. Lt Bohrer. before the war, was on the surgical nursing staff at Oregon State hospital and went to the front with General Hos pital 46, a University of Oregon unit. Lt. Bohrer is now assigned to Fitzsimmons General hospital in Denver, and will leave here Saturday on her return there, stopping first in Portland. She saw service in Africa. Italy, France and Germany, and much of that lime was with hos pital trains evacuating wounded soldiers from Ihe front lo the rear areas. When she receiv ed the merit citation she was with hospital train No. 66 in France near the German border at Strasbourg. "Our people will never know," said Lt. Bohrer, "what price the GIs paid for our peace. The only reason we over there were able to take it was that we had America to come back to." School Music Room Fixed-uo One of the most appreciated projects of the vacation time im provement program of the pub lic schools was the development of an acoustically treated music room for the use of Miss Lena Belle Tartar, who heads the music department. In addition to making the ceiling echo proof, a four lift platforjrt has been built at the rear of the room where chorus work may be con ducted in a more efficient man ner. "It's the first time we have had a room suited to the depart ment,' Miss Tartar commented, "It is restful and the students as well as myself greatly appre ciate the improvement." The first assembly of the en tire high school for the new term was held Thursday fore noon and the largest attendance in the past few years was re corded. It was found necessary o open the balcony to care for all of the students. During the summer acoustic board has been placed on the ceiling of the au ditorium over the balcony, as well as the ceiling under the bal cony. As a result, those in the rear were able to got all of the program. Principal Harry John son addressed the students con cerning what was expected of them. Lions Told About Alcoholics A man who said he wished to be known merely as "Chairman of Group No, 2, Portland," dis cussed the plan of "Alcoholics Anonymous for the benefit of the Salem Lions club Thursday noon. He stated that three out of every 10 persons who are now seeking help from the organiza tion which has a membership ot some 19,000 throughout the country, are women. He also said he knew through personal experience that there was no scarcity of membership material in Salem, but so far all efforts to establish a chapter here had failed. A group of approxi mately 45 Inmates of the state penitentiary' was credited with having one of the finest records in the history of the organiza tion. No person can really rid him self of the drinking habit unless he wants, to change and is will ing to admit that he Is in need of outside help, the speaker as serted. When he reaches that point, he has made the greatest step toward Is recovery. The chief characteristic of the alco holic is his "downright orner iness," declared the speaker. He said he did not believe an indi vidual could quit on his own and that he must seek outside assistance. "He must reach the point where he is willing to talk it over with someone." While admitting that "Alco holics Anonymous" Is not infal lible the speaker declared the results achieved are evidence that "we have something."
