McKay Endorses Orchid Sale
On 174 Marine Anniversary
Two hitches in the army haven't dimmed Douglas McKay's
admiration for the United States Marines.
The governor, calling attention to the 174th anniversary of
the Marine corps tomorrow, said that "No American should
forget the grand war record of the men and women of the
""Globe and Anchor." He said al
I so that the "Orchids to Marines'
sale, to be held throughout Ore
gon tomorrow for the benefit of
the Marine Corps league wel
fare fund, "deserves wide support."
The tag sale will be a part of
the Marines' birthday observance
in Oregon, an observance that
will include such additional fea
tures as banquets and gatherings
of Corps members, veterans and
their friends.
Governor McKay, an Army
veteran of both world wars,
made known his views on the
Marine Corps in a letter to Wil
liam W. Strong of Eugene, com
mandant, department of Oregon
Marine Corps league. The letter
said, in part:
Your 'Orchids to Marines' sale
deserves wide support. It is for
a fine cause and, besides raising
needed funds, should serve to
recall to the public mind the ex
ploits of the Leathernecks in
their 174 years of courageous
and patriotic assistance to their
country. In the history of all
branches of the armed services
there is to be found the impres
sive lesson that our hard-won
liberties will be preserved no
matter what the cost.
This is but one of a multi
tude of reasons no American
should forget the grand war rec
ord of the men and women of
Globe and Anchor. I am sure it
something no enemy of our
republic can help but remember."
Morse Says Not
Campaigning
Portland, Nov. 10 Ml Sena
tor Wayne Morse told an audi
ence last night he would have
plenty to say about CVA when
he campaigns for re-election.
"I expressed my views on
pending CVA legislation in my
October 14 speech. In my cam
paign I will enlarge on those
views, but I have not yet begun
my campaign," he said.
Earlier, other speakers before
the banquet session of the 37th
annual Oregon reclamation con
Kress had opposed the Columbia
valley administration proposal.
They were applauded.
Morse talked primarily on
economy in some services. He
said he thought national defense
budgets could be trimmed three
billion dollars without harming
lecurity.
La Selle Coles, Prlnevllle, said
Oregon should push water re
sources development. He said
if this wasn't done, California
might demand use of the mois
ture, particularly in the Klam
ath area.
Senator Morse will make his
first fall public appearance in
Salem Thursday night when he
speaks at Waller Hall at 8 p.m.
His talk will follow the senators
appearance at an informal din
ner at the Senator hotel at 6:15
p.m. The dinner Is sponsored
by the Marion county chapter of
the Young Republicans.

terday. The cave-In, in tunneling de
signed to carry heat and elec
tricity conduits to university

bering" in the shaft.
Four other shafts were order
ed closed until work has been
done to strengthen them.
More than 39.000 wells are

industry.
PUTS HOPE IN RESERVES
Naval Reserve Officer Says,
To Unify, Start at Bottom
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Nov. 10 U. John P. Bracken is a navy man
who believes in unity in the services. He's big enough to back
up his beliefs.
Bracken, a commander In the U. S. Naval Reserve, is 6 feet,
4 inches, and has the brawn to go with it.
He is president of the Reserve
Officers association, composed of
officers from all branches of the
reserve services only organ
ization of its kind. Bracken's
main purpose in life at the mo
ment is dedicated to the "attain
ment of national security through
a strong military reserve pro
gram." John Bracken has had many
a "main attainment." .
He's a lawyer of only 37 who
can, like few others, boast 19
years in politics.
In high school and in college,
he was a star debater and dab
bled in school politics for prac
tice. He was born in Carnegie,
Pa., and attended the University
of Pittsburgh. In 1939, he re
ceived a degree in law at the
University of Pennsylvania.
The last war wasn't very old
when the restless navy man vol
unteered for active duty. He
helped navigate the crippled
USS Marblehead 9000 miles back
to New York after she had been
nicked badly in the battle of
Java Sea.
After a tour of anti-suhmarine
duty in the Caribbean, Bracken
returned to the Pacific in time
to take part in the' invasion of
the Philippines, Iwo Jima and
Okinawa.
The other night In Pittsburgh,
the navy man-orator-lawyer had
a chance to spout on his favorite
subject unification of the
armed forces.
They must, he says, start from
the bottom.
He got a little rougher than
that. The reserve commander
went so far as to suggest a plan
which eventually would make
Annapolis and West Point post
graduate schools.
"While real unification would
be one beneficial result of the1
officer procurement plan," says
he, "we now are more interested
in the fact that, at far less cost
to the taxpayer, it would pro-1
vide a high caliber of regular
career officers and a steady in-1
put of trained, young reserve'
officers." j
Bracken feels that the last is
the most important. Our most
potent military strength, he says,
lies in our ready reserve and not
in the standing forces. i
"In the last war," he puts in!
for emphasis, "nine out of ten
officers in the navy were reserv
ists and the proportion was even
higher in the army and air
force."
Bracken believes that high
school graduates who spend a
year as enlisted men should be
picked competitively for two
year college scholarships. They'd
take a normal course - with
emphasis on the military.
At the end of their second
year, two-thirds of them would
be given additional two-year
scholarships, picking their own
service. Plus summer months at
camp, at sea, or at an air base.
Upon completion of the last
two years of college the kids
again would be screened one
third to do the graduate work.
