gast Salem Club Members
Interested In Red Cross
East Salem, Oct. 26 The Red Cross is promoting the organiza
tion of home nursing courses again this fall. All suburban wom
en's clubs have had the classes made available, and one ol the
, first clubs to take advantage of
the offer is the Rickey Garden
club. At their meeting last
week Mrs. Hardie Phillips was
appointed by the president, Mrs.
Oliver Rickman, to take the
names and make arrangements
for the classes. Mrs. Ralph
Moody and Mrs. Donald Young
from the Salem chapter were
present at the meeting to ex
plain the plans made for these
classes.
This club is now one of the
most active of East Salem wom
en's groups as at the same meet
ing a rummage sale was planned
with Mrs Ted Miller asked to
find the place and time; im
provement of the Rickey school
grounds, traffic past the school
during school time with Mrs.
Ross Chrisman and Mrs. Frank
South on the committee for the
inquiry; covering the garbage
trucks as they pass this school
and the hot lunch program of
the school all being considered
at this meeting.
Elected at the meeting were
Mrs. Vic Withrow, chairman of
the flower committee, and Mrs.
Pete Pederson, secretary.
This past week-end Swegle
school received the new desks
for the intermediate room which
were ordered the first of the
year. They were badly needed
as very old double desks and
tables had to be used most of
last school year and desks that
hed been borrowed were re
turned to another school.
Douglas Pike, an eighth grade
student at Swegle, has been out
of school for several days be
cause of illness.
Keith La Due, younger son
of Mr. and Mrs. V. M. La Due,
of Hollywood drive, is home for
his discharge from the army.
He has been with the army of
occupation in Japan for about
a year.
LIGHTS GO OUT AT
POWER MEETING
Florence, Ore., Oct 26 U.R
The big wigs of public power
including Bonneville Adminis
trator Paul J. Raver were
meeting at the hotel here, trying
to agree on a plan for bringing
more electric power into west
ern Lane county.
Right in the middle of the
discussion power failure black
ed out the conference room.
Mrs. Linna Ragan came to the
rescue with a kerosene lamp,
and the talk of more electric
light continued.
And Raver agreed to have
the region resurveyed for a
possible extension of the pow
er service.
Towers Raps
Ickes Article
Honolulu, T. H., Oct. 26 U.R
Admiral John H. Towers, mil
itary governor for all American-occupied
islands in the Pa
cific, said today he "resented"
former Interior Secretary Har
old L. Ickes' indictment of the
navy's government on these islands.
. Towers charged in his state
ment that Ickes' statements in
a magazine article, were "equal
ly divided between gross mis
j statements and purported events
; of several decades past.
The commander-in-chief . of
Pacific ocean area said that as
: far as he knew, Ickes never had
: been in the Pacific, "much less
. visited any of the islands in
I question."
Replying to Ickes' recom
mendation that the islands be
placed under another branch of
. the government, Towers said it
is "self evident that the navy
will have to continue to provide
most of the services yet would
have little to say in matters of
administration." He said this
hardly seems logical.
Towers said the relative im
portance of Pearl Harbor had
not diminished, but the navy
would be happy to get "our
eggs out of one basket" by de
velopment of Guam and some
of the minor bases to the west.
Ouster Small Price to
Py, Wallace Says
'San Diego, Calif., Oct. 26 U.R)
Henry A. Wallace said today
his ouster from the cabinet was
a small price to pay for the
"definite contribution" of his
Madison Square Garden speech
to the cause of world peace.
"I wouldn't change a word
of that speech," Wallace told a
press conference.
"It served a useful purpose,"
he said, "and I believe that the
cause of peace was greatly ad
vanced as a result. It had its
effect on the statements of many
World leaders but apparently
had no effect on Winston
Churchill."
Wallace was due to fly to Ta
coma. Wash., today to continue
his speaking tour to help elect
"progressive democrats." w

Discipline in
Army Stressed
Manila, Oct. 26 (U.R) Maj.
Gen. J. G Christiansen, western
Pacific commander, today urged
his officers to show the utmost
possible leadership in building
a well-disciplined American
army force in the Philippines.
Christiansen issued amemor
andum to all company and high
er unit commanders pointing out
the heavy turnover of army per
sonnel in the Pacific and asking
their best efforts in handling the
influx of recruits.
"This situation should chal
lenge you to exercise every
ounce of leadership you have,"
he said.
Christiansen's action followed
by one day the report of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur conceding
ill-feeling between American
soldiers and Filipinos. MacAr
thur laid the blame on a na
tionalistic feeling among citi
zens of the new republic, and
on irresponsible actions by some
American soldiers.
"We have three major jobs in
the Philippines," Christiansen
said.
"First, we must have an army
which conducts itself in such
manner that the Filipino people
will continue to welcome us as
guests in their land. This im
plies that our soldiers be dis
ciplined, courteous, respectful to
authority and other people's
rights, properly dressed, prop
erly behaved.
"Second, we must retrain our
army. Since our non-coms are
young and inexperienced and
our replacements untrained, it is
obvious that officers must sup
ply the experience necessary to
make this new army.
"Third, we must perform our
current mission a task which
cannot be neglected.
"Let's combine our efforts to
build our new army of the Phil
ippines the army which we all
want to be a worthy successor to
that fine army which won the
war."
Yets Administration
Opens More Offices
Portland, Ore., Oct. 26 (U.R)

nearly double the contact staff.
Five new full-time offices

Pass, Ontario and Burns, but
only that at McMinnviUe will
open immediately. Space is be
ing sought in the other cities.

Says
OKAY LADIES we have just re
ceived a shipment of ladies' watches.
Better throw the dishes under the
sink and park the baby next door and
get down here. These are the world's
most famous makes and guaranteed
to keep perfect time, not always ac
curate but what there is is perfect.
No kidding, when the husband goes
down to the grocery store or makes
a trip to the office at nite you can
lime him right down to the second
and tell him off without fear of con
tradiction. My goodness, anyone
would think my wife keeps that close
lab on me . . . and I'm not kidding.
Say men, why not buy her one of
these for Christmas while they are
available; she'll check you up anyway
so you may as well make her happy
about it.

Rent Strike
Plan Dropped
Seattle, Oct. 26 (U.R) Bluntly
warned by King county Prose
cutor Lloyd Shorett they risked
criminal conspiracy charges, Se
attle's striking landlords today
officially abandoned mass re
fusal to rent vacant apartments.
President J. H. Totten of the
Pioneer apartment group, be
sieged by bitter protests from
irate veterans groups after at
tempts to extend the landlords'
strike across the nation, con
ferred with Shorett yesterday.
"If a landlord leaves an
apartment vacant and he has
previously entered into an
agreement with others to do so,
we will leave It up to a jury
lo decide whether he docs it as
an individual or as part of a
conspiracy," Shorett said.
Countering that while the
owners group did not want to
"go out on a limb or do any
thing detrimental to the public
or against the law," Totten in
sisted that his group was not
holding itself responsible for
continued refusal to rent by in
dividual owners.
Told that 400 empty county
apartments would be rented if
OPA ceilings were abolished,
Shorett flatly warned Totten
