L PX'GE TEN MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. QREOONT. SUNDAY. MAY 23. 1937 PROTEST PLAN TO A protest against th war depart ment' contemplated action In re moving all reserve offlcera who have bad more than two yean' active duty with the CCC. was wired to Oregon' representative In Washington. D. C, Baturday, by George Porter, mayor of Medlord, and Olln Arnsplger, presi dent of the Jackaon County Chamber of Commerce. The telegrams protested the plan by which reserve officers on CCC duty will be limited to two years' duty, and which will result In dismissal of practically all reserve officers now on duty with the Medford CCC dis trict. - The war department orders allow until December 31, 1937, for comple tion of the change, and offlcera now on duty will not be immediately re lieved, it Is understood. Z Major George B. Owens, command er of the Medford CCO district, had bo statement to make Baturday, other than to confirm the report that the new order would mean the dismissal within the next few months of every Officer now on duty at district bead quarters, and moat of those on duty In the camps, all of whom have naa from two to four years' active duty with the civilian conservation corps. 1 Mayor porter's telegram, which was tent to Senator Charles L. McNary, Senator Frederick Steiwer, Congress man James W. Mott and Congress- woman Nan Wood Honeyman, follows: "Understand war department or ders will relieve all reserve officers during next few montha who have been on duty with the civilian con aervatlon corps more than two years. This district is stnffed with experi enced officers who have survived tho weedlng-out process over a four-year period and the order would replace, these with green men. We sharply protest disruption of smooth-working organization successfully handling bundreda of thousands of dollars In expenditures and caring for thou sands of young men each year. Dis missal of man who have made good la contrary to public policy of fair play. We urge you use your influ ence to prevent dismissal of officers who havo served two years." The telegram of Olen Arnsplger, president of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, was also ad dressed to senators McNary and Stei wer, Congresswoman Honeyman and Congressman Mott. It follows: "We are Informed that the war department contemplates relieving all reserve officers on duty with the civil inn conservation corps who hive erved two years. Aa you know, thin chamber of commerce haa been close ly connected with the civilian con servation corps since Its Inception, and we bellevo thnt tho contemplat ed change would dlirupt a smooth working organization. It Is our opin ion that the dismissal of the present officers who have been trained In their work would be an extravagance by replacing them with green men. We reqrvst that you use your good offices to prevent this unnecessary replacement which we feel would greatly disrupt the present CCO or ganisation." Officers of the local headqtiarters bad no comment to make, but It Is understood the change, If It takes feet, will strip the district of ex perienced officers other than the two regular army officers on duty here. Major Owens, a regular army of ficer, recently complimented his per sonnel by requesting another year's duty in Medlord. The new order Is believed to be the result of agitation in Washing ton for using the CCC aa a training ground for reserve offlcera. Many obsorvera discount the value or CCC training to a military officer, and F.H.A. LOANS TO 1 BUY 2 BUILD 3 REFINANCE 4 MODERNIZE Interest at 5 Tha sound and thrifty way to HOME OWNER SHIP, C. L.
