" The two men, he said, were
the last employees hired and

necessary to drop them first.
"The board instructed me to
cut down on expenses and there
fore even though the two men
gave good service, I was forced
to let them go," said Bartlett.
"The release of the two men was
no reflection upon their ability."

Lions Told of
War in Manila
Stanton Turner, for many
years general secretary of the
YMCA in Malina, who organiz
ed the underground during the
war, and who was prisoner of
the Japanese told the dramatic
story of the beginning and end
ing of the war there as speaKer
before the Lions club today.
He praised the GIs for their
courage in "taking the worst
that could be taken" at the
start of the war, and praised the
Filipinos for matching theiri
courage. Of the force that held
Bataan at the start, he said, 78,
000 were Filipinos.
Of the GIs he said: "They
saved our lives there, and I wish
you could appreciate that they
saved yours."
He referred to General Doug
las MacArthur as "the great
statesman of the Orient and one
of the great statesmen of the
world."
He told a story of the horror
of the Japanese occupation by
an army of 250,000 Japanese
that had trained for the purpose
for two years in Formosa, aided
by the navy and the air force
that surrounded the islands.
The attitude and courage of
the Filipinos, he said, taught him
that "democracy had won and
that spirit is the greatest force
in the world."
Democracy to succeed, he de
clared, must be under the leader
ship of men of Christian prin
ciples.

Suspect Held
In Hearse Theft
A man, nabbed by McMinn
ville authorities in a stolen car
from Salem, is scheduled to be
questioned concerning the theft
and smashing of the W. T. Rig
don hearse.
City detectives explained that
the prisoner held in McMinn
ville was found in a car stolen
from Charles M. Greene, 2370
Adams. Greene's car was taken
during the same period of Wed
nesday morning that the hearse
was wrecked at 24th and Che
mekela streets.
The car thief, identified a:
Edward Charles McEwan, was
slated to be questioned concern
ing the theft of the hearse on
the possibility that he may have
been involved in the case and
taken the Greene car after the
Rigdon vehicle was wrecked.
The location of the wreck and
Greene's home are in close prox
imity. Another factor is the
time of the theft.
McEwan is to be returned to
Marion county by a deputy from
the sheriff's office. Detectvies
emphasized, however, that there
was no definite information to
connect McEwan with the hearse
case. Other clues are also being
worked on in an effort to find
the hearse thief.
Two Youths Pinched
For Theft of Auto
Two Juveniles from Washing
ton state are in county jail here
held for alleged car theft from
Seattle because they showed
flirtatious inclinations from the
car with girls walking along
State street near Wilson park
They happened to carry on these
activities as Deputy Sheriffs
William DeVall and Merle Wood
were driving back from the
state penitentiary and spotted
them.
When one of the boys said the
car, a Chevrolet, they were driv
ing belonged to his stepfather
and then failed to remember his
stepfather's name the officers in
vestigated further, found he had
no driver's license and the boys
were jailed.
According to information se
cured by the officers one of the
boys who lives in Seattle took
the car at 5:30 in the morning,
picked up the other boy at Cen-
tralia and arrived here shortly
before 1 o'clock. Soon afterward
they were in jail. Both boys are
15 years old.

Declare War
Continued from Fajre 1)
He also lashed out at the way
these same leaders are handling
Legion funds. They vote them
selves large salaries or expense
accounts, and 'make a dear
with members of the "machine1
to see that they appoint each
other to fat positions when time
for new committee appointments
arrives.
'If there are not enough com
mittees to accomodate these
men," Belgrano said, "new com
mittees are organized not be
cause the committees are need
ed, but so that machine mem
bers will not be left out of the
picture."
Reflects on Legion
All this is decreasing the
value of the Legion organiza
tion," Belgrano said.
He also quoted figures which
prove that the Legion is, finan
cially, headed downhill, and
said "if this keeps up, the Legion
will go bankrupt!
Belgrano blamed it all on
racketeers who "take over" the
Legion administration.
He said that prior to World
War II this problem did not exist.
but that it has been flourishing
in the last few years.
A new national public rela
tions officer was jecently ap
pointed by the Legion. This offi
cer was the target for many of
uelgrano s sharp remarks Thurs
day.
This man does not fit the
qualifications for the job," Bel
grano said as he shouted from
the platform. "He was hand
picked by this machine of racke
teers who are ruining the whole
Legion setup.
Belgrano said he was going to
the national convention in Phila
delphia late this month and start
a campaign against these politi
cians.
He said that what the Legion
needs is more World War II vet
erans in the leading positions,
"We must break away from
this corrupt condition, or the Le
gion will lose its cardinal prin
ciples."
He said that the present lead
ers in the Legion do not believe
in these principles; they only be
lieve in themselves.
Belgrano did not once criti
cize the Legion principles. He
just talked against the men who

McClellan took a beating late
yesterday when he failed to get
approval of an amendment
which would have earmarked
Sl.350.000.000 of European re
covery funds for buying surplus
American farm commodities.
Lucas challenged the com
modity amendment on the
ground that it was new legisla
tion and violated the rules.
When Vice President Barkley
upheld Lucas, Chairman McKel
lar (D., Tenn.) of the appropri
ations committee appealed the
ruling.
The senate voted 52 to 32 to
uphold Barkley, thus stripping
the McClellan commodity rider
from the bill.
Permits Granted The county
court has issued the following
moving permits: Louis O. Grit

'The Legion stands for God

purpose could be greater than
that."
All his remarks were not con
fined to condemning the na

many states, including Oregon,
were somewhat prone to helping
oil the "machine.
Several times in his emphatic
address Belgrano was forced to
pause while the audience burst
out in applause. He was loudly
cheered for a full minute when
he finished.

More Chairs for
Use of Juries
Following a conference with
Circuit Judge George R. Dun
can and Rex Kimmell Thursday
the court authorized purchase
of an additional 12 chairs suit
able for jury use and also of a
type suitable for use in the new
courthouse when it is construct
ed. The circuit judges stated that
in October they expected to
start conducting jury trials in
both courtrooms and under the
present set-up provision is made
for jury trials in the courtroom
used by Judge Duncan but not
in the others.
County Clerk Harlan Judd
who has been investigating
prices reported on a chair he
recommends at $51 each, being
of the same type as that now
used but being $2 cheaper per
chair than the ones now in use
which were bought a few year
before the war.
It was stated this would b
about the only cost except for
some sort of a temporary rail
ing to be thrown up around the
jury box which will amount to
some plywood and some dolled
up 2x4s.
The circuit court docket has
attained dimensions where it is
considered necessary to b
working two juries to keep up
and it is expected the dual jury
system will be started in Oc
tober. Truman Firm

amount and duration of the pro

aid plan to run through June)
