The elder Ford in his letter of
resignation to the directors
said:
"I hereby resign the office of
president of this company, to
take effect upon acceptance. 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.

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

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.

Room Fixed-uo
One of the most appreciated
projects of the vacation time im
provement program of the pub
lic schools was the development

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."
