N axmy of 250,000 young men is
be recruited and put to work
In the forests. , These young men will
be selected according to aeml-mill-tary
standards, they will work under
Mint-military discipline and will re
ceive 30 per month and subsistence,
which is military pay.
The primary purpose is unemploy
ment relief, NOT improvement of the
forest, which Is merely a secondary
consideration.
f
CONSIDERING all the conditions
that are involved, it la. a fine
and commendable project. These
young men will NOT be receiving a
dole. They will be earning what
they get, thus retaining their own
elf-respect which is going to mean
a lot to them and to the country
AFTER the depression la over.
And some incidental benefit will
follow the work they are doing
especially in Oregon, where a lot of
the work Is to be dqne.
STILL. this thought persist in the
mind of this writer, at least,
whether It occurs to anyone else or
not:
If some way could be found to
enable private Industry to finance
Itself, the great lumber Industry of
Oregon could provide employment for
these same men, under normal work
ing conditions and at wages that are
at least normal for these times.
The BIO need, if we are to restore
employment, la to enable private in
dustry to function again.
A FORMER resident of long Beach,
interviewed the other day by
an Oregon reporter, made this state
ment; "Of all the dreadful fcara that
can be Inspired by the Imminence
of death, there la nothlrur compar
able to the awful and mysterious
menace of an earthquake . . ."
Be added: "Shipwreck and fire can
be understood, but an earthquake U
an unfathomable terror. It Instills
one with a dread that paralyzes the
mind."
IP YOU happened to be much on
the roads Immediately following
the recent Southern California
quake, you will know that many
ahared this man's views. The high
ways were full of cars with Cali
fornia licenses, heavily loaded with
baggage and speeding AWAY from
California.
lIIIiL Southern California suffer
ff irretrievably as a result of this
terror of earthquakes? Probably not
For thousands of years, some of the
earth's most pleasant regions have

with' reasonably frequent catastro
y pbes. and the fear inspired by them
has NOT prevented people from go
ing on living In these places.
It will not prevent people from
going on living In Southern Califor
nia.'
TKrs writer has heard this
A thoughtless statement expressed
many times:
"Oregon is bound to benefit from
this earthquake In Southern Cali
fornia, which will frighten people
away from there and UP HERE,
where we don't have such catastro
phes." That Isn't straight thinking. Ore
gon CANT benefit permanently from
ANYTHING that Injures so good a
customer as Southern California,
which provides he best market we
hare for our surplua products.
1F YOU are a business man. can you
1 hope to benefit from anything
that ruins your best customers.
Of course you can't.
OP ALL the silly ideas that ever
existed, the silliest Is that Cal

and California Is the best customer
Oregon has.

OF RUTH JUDD TO
Doctor Declares Accused
Woman Not Shamming
Insanity In Court Out
burstsNew Date Apr. 28
PHOENIX, Aril., April 18.
(AP) Governor Moeur late to
day signed the proclamation or
the state pardon board granting
Winnie Ruth Judd a reprieve
from hanging until nevt Friday.
April 38.
FLORENCE, Ariz., April 18. (AP)
An "Insanity taint" revealed by her
aged mother, went Into the record of
Winnie Ruth Judd's sanity hearing
today aa a basis for expert testimony
that the young confessed slayer of
two women la deranged mentally.
Dr. Harry E. Plnkert of Coolldge,
Ariz., alienist for Mrs. Judd. declared
from the witness stand the testimony
and behavior of Mrs. K. J. McKlnnell
aided' la convincing him of the con
demned woman's Insanity. The moth
er told the Jury she believed a strain
of Insanity In her family "fell some
what on me and even more on
Ruth."
New Date April 28
During this testimony, word came
from Phoenix that the atate pardon
board had granted Mrs. Judd a re
prieve until April 28 from April 21.
when she was to have been hanged.
Her counsel sought a reprieve to as
sure completion of the sanity hearing
Bnd possibly appeal to the ' United
States supreme court.
"Does testimony and behavior of
the mother mean anything to you In
connection with the daughter?" asked
O. V. Wilson of Mrs. Judd'a counsel.
"Yes." anawered the psychiatrist;
"It means something to me in two
ways.
"First, it convinces me of the her
ldltary taint.
"Second, It means something to me
In view of the fact that she herself
la not normal mentally."
"Tell us something about how you
can catch feigning or shamming In
sanity." "When a person attempts to feign
Insanity, he must feign something he
knows about," Dr. Plnkert said.
"Was Ruth Judd shamming?" asked
Wlllson.
"No, she was not."
"She would freeze up," he declared
"A person in that state will not
co-opertae they want to fight "
Mrs. Judd In Outburst
"Fight!" Mrs. Judd spoke up sud
denly, from her chair where she faced
the alienist from across Vie court
room. "Flghtl They stole 15 out of
my drawer I"
She wept a moment, and then be
came quiet again.
"If she had the acting ability of
Sarah Bernhardt, Ruth Judd could
not produce the perfect picture of
Insanity she presents.' Dr. Plnkert
asserted.
Regarding Mrs. Judd's outbreak ot
yesterday, the witness declared It
was due "to the same emotional
pressure that prevents her telling a
connected story that pressure plies
up until the emotion breaka under
the stress, aa you saw yesterday."
