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
