Oregon Citv, May 24. iVy
The body of Mrs. Ella W. Perrin.
65, Oregon City, who disappear
ed while on a stroll Thursday
was recovered from tha Willam
tie river yesterday.
It's up to Medford
AS stated a few days ago, the important thing about
ho armv rnntnnmpnt. at this time are not. the
benefits but the obligations.
If anv doubt existed in this direction, the same
was removed at the Friday luncheon of the Chamber
of Commerce, when Myron Hunt, architect in charge,
told a few truths, most of them unpleasant.
In fact no doubt should exist now in any quar
ter,' that this cantonment project, presents the most
compiicatea ana serious civic pruoiem m iui-ai Hist
ory, and the community is going to need the best
ability and highest intelligence it can muster to suc
cessfully solve it.
BUT it CAN be done. Medford has never fallen
down on any important job yet. This is no time
to begin.
Booster talk and Humdinger jargon, are not
needed. The less of that sort of thing, the better. .
What will be needed what IS needed is hard
work, intelligently directed, with intelligent direc
tion the more important.
So boys, girls, lets get the best brains we have
organized and functioning at the earliest possible
moment 1
For this job, is not only going to need hard work,
it is going to need wisdom, resource and imagination.
It is also going to need the best brand of civic spirit,
the spirit of unselfish public service, that we
have, and no community in the state of Oregon, po
tentially at least, has a better.
T'OMMITTIES and sub-committees are important.
The sooner they are named and get going the
better.
But most important, in the opinion of this paper,
is a competent directing head, a leader and coordina
tor, who can be on the firing line, not only when his
normal business doesn t interfere, but ALL iHb
TIME!
For this cantonment business, isn't a part time
job, its an all-time job, and unless confusion is to
be worse confounded, and vast energies oaaiy neeaea
are to be wasted ; responsibility should be concentra
ted in one person, and that person should be the
BOSS. the directive and administrative head of
this cantonment project with the various committees
and sub-committees under him.
.....
XHTH no such "boss" the Mail-Tribune greatly
fours tho fatal iinx of all such endeavors.
everybody's business becomes nobody s business, and
a hundred times the cost of such an administrative
head, is lost, in confusion, divided responsibility, du
plication, and wasted effort.
Finally let this point be stressed:
UNLESS the civic duties involved in this under
taking, are assumed promptly and successfully dis
charged, not only with dispatch but witn true via
ION, this cantonment we worked so hard to get, will
not prove a community asset, but a liability. '
For French Consumption
THE speech by Admiral Darlan, was undoubtedly
for home consumption. For certainly it will have
little effect in London or Washington.
Deeds speak louder than words, particularly
when a war is on. And all of the French vice-premier's
assurances, that France will never declare war on
England, or hand over the French fleet to Germany;
mean little in comparison with the fact, that France
allowed Germany to use her air bases in Syria, and
declares she will f ight to the death against any British
attempt to seize them.
MOREOVER, while Admiral Darlan, was very
guarded in his statements, the implications
throughout were to the effect, that the Vichy govern
ment has picked Hitler to win, and intends to stand
by the winner, letting the consequences be what they
may.
So while the present government of France un
doubtedly has no intention of declaring war on Eng
land, or turning over its fleet to Germany, (or any
other nation) it does intend, to abandon its former
ally and throw its fortunes in with the totalitarian
"new order," not because it loves Germany or hates
Britain, but because, it believes such a course will
be the best guarantee of a secure and desireable
French future.
In other words as before stated in this column,
France, realistic, materialistic and self centered,
again demonstrates she can always be depended up
on to be 100 loyal. to FRANCE I

COSMETIC SURGERY
a competent plastic surgeon.
Surgeons who limit their
practice to correction of these
cosmetic faults or blemishes and
to reconstructive surgery (pre
venting and ameliorating ef
fsts of wounds, burns, scars)
seem to have an inferiority com
plex like that of the dentists (in
relation to the general medical
profession). At least I have found
it difficult to learn what physic
ians or surgeons in the com
munity are qualified to give
such treatment. Apparently they
hesitate to acknowledge this,
just as many dentists use only
the title Doctor on their pro
fessional stationery and leave
you to guess whether they are
near-doctors, queer-doctors or
just too dumb to know what it
is all about.
Perhaps the wise course to
follow if you contemplate cos
metic or sculptural surgery of
any kind and do not know of
such a surgeon whose reputa
tion is unquestionable, is to ask
the guidance of your own fam
ily physician or any physician of
layman or a stranger in the com-: standing in your own commun-
munity who has occasion to con- ity. He or she will refer you to
suit a physician, surgeon or spec- a reliable plastic surgeon. Once
I a cantonment, but It may, on
j the other hand, be a station for
the army air corps. Two large
airports are being developed at
I Burns and at Redmond, a score
of miles from Bend. Nearest
army air corps station to the
Bend-Burns region is the bomb
er group at Pendleton.
For maneuvers centnt Ore
gon would be ideal for troops;
there is an abundance of idle
land public domain available
and very few settlers. Much of
the terrain is blood-drenched
from the wars between the
Bannacks, Piutes, the troops
under Gen. O. O. Howard and
even earlier military expedi
tions in the 1850s. in fact, first
general knowledge of many
sections of central Oregon was
gained by military expeditions
For more than 40 years that
part of Oregon has been ignored
by the soldiers of Uncle Sam.
War department planners are
once more giving it serious con
sideration for air corps or. a
cantonment. On land as blank
as the Bend-Burns region the
army has assembled many thou
sands of troops in the south
western states, where they are
housed under canvas instead of
in wooden barracks.
ialist but knows of none, may

society and asking for the in

vice provided by the medical
society free of charge, as an
ethical duty. Of course the phy
sicians, surgeons or specialists
whose names are so provided
are members or fellows of the
medical society. Would you
want one who isn't? Would you
choose a lawyer who is not
recognized by the bar associa
tion? But if you seek a cosmetic
surgeon or a plastic or recon
structive surgeon, you may not
find It so easy. In the first place
the medical profession as a
whole is still pretty narrow
about some things, and so, while
some two dozen specialties are
formally recognized as special
ties, among them surgery, ortho
pedec surgery (correction of de
formities) and industrial surg
ery (treating injuries of indus
trial employees) the A. M. A.,
does not recognize doctors who
limit their plactice to corrective
surgery, and therefore the local

growth on the eyeball surface, but
a clouding of the crystalline lens

DUT undoubtedly the French people are dubious,
discontented and fearful. In Africa many desert
ions to the De Gaulle banner are reported, while the
independent and intensely nationalistic French spirit,
can't help but be palled and broodinply resentful over
such a military control by a recently hated foe, as
exists in the occupied portion of France.

that Harry L. Hopkins is to be
superseded as the most influen
tial member of the president's
entourage. On the contrary, the
idea of enlarging the president s
staff seems to have originated
with Hopkins. It was Hopkins
who sounded out Datt. Having
rather sensibly realized that he
could not handle all the work
the president wanted done. Hop
kins apparently proposed that
other men be chosen to supple
ment him, in addition to the
small group of younger men
who are already members of his
staff.
...
ASSUMING that the above
" - theory is correct, there is
little likelihood that the en
largrd White House staff will be
composed chiefly of New Deal
ers, who will elbow the busi
nessmen out of their present po
sitions in the government. On
the contrary. In talk with men
around him, the president has
shown that he Is remarkably im
pressed with the work of some
of the businessmen brought to
Washington by the defense ef
fort. A curious distinction Is made
by the president's circle. Thev

New Dealers no longer have an
easy access to the White House
where the president is preoccu

of the Interior Harold L. Ickes.
few of the New Deal leaders
have given any evidence of their
old-time fervidness In behalf of
the president's policies. Thomas
G. Corcoran, who was the dy
namo of the New Dealers, Is
practising law, and although a
determined effort was made by
his friends a few months ago to
land him an important job at the
navy department, there is every
reason now to believe that he
intends to remain in private life
for some time. In short, even
the most ardent New Dealers
see little chance of their re
turn to favor.
Whether or not you approved
the policies and methods of the
New Deal group, it did give the
government an extra drive that
was important in getting things
done. And it may well be that
the new staff which the presi
dent is gathering around him
will some day assume an im
portance within the government
comparable to that once achiev
ed by such White House favor
ites as Corcoran and Benjamin
V. Cohen and their followers.
PROVIDED a cantonment is
decided upon, it would give
impetus to a military highway
south toward Pacific highway
(U. S. route 99) and north to
the Columbia river where there
are several . military activities.
At present any plans for de
velopment of national defense
in central Oregon are foggy;
nothing is beyond the whisper
stage; scouting there has been
for information and nothing will
be done unless the army is in
creased (which it will be) and
congress votes money. With
these two provisos taken care
of, something may happen or
may not. Military missions are
not riding around the country
merely to look at the scenery
of the wide-open spaces and
wearing civilian clothes in order
not to appear conspicuous.
HERE is another bit of dope.
There are three places on the
Oregon coast surveyed for the
purpose of selecting a firing
range for an anti-aircraft bat
talion several battalions. One
is somewhere in the Tillamook
country, another is south of
Newport and a third is in the
vicinity of Bandon. The choice
appears to rest between Bandon
and Newport. War department
wants a space where the bat
talions can be trained in use of
anti-aircraft part of the coast
artillery) without doing damage.
Answer to this is firing out into
the Pacific ocean where shells
can burst and drop into the sea
with danger to no one. Halibut
fleet, of course, and coastal
steamers would be notified to
keep clear.
The anti - aircraft battalions

To the Editor: So the navy
couldn't keep the ship yard
producing!
Six or eight hundred work
men who wanted to work in
the San Francisco ship yards,
and had been employed there
until the CIO strike was called,
were escorted through the
picket line by "blue-jackets'
and while they worked the
managers of the two plants ad
mitted they couldn't keep the
production up to par.
Why did the navy mix Into
the mess and get a "black eye
out of it if they knew they
couldn't go the whole distance?
What is the "whole distance?"
In this case the whole distance
would be to put the plants un
der government supervision
and the workers under martial
law. In other words, give them
a dose of what Hitler gives
everyone who comes under his
domination
There are plenty of ways to
get men to do their duty. I
In this case, the best and
easiest way is to "weed out"
the union "big shots," starting
with John L. Lewis and Green
and so on down the line, and
let the real Americans step for
ward with their tools and go
to work. There's plenty of them
who want to, and competent
too. Are 10 million labor un
ionists to tell the other 130
million what to do?
This does not mean the elim
ination of unions and collective
bargaining. It does mean the
smashing of the hold the nazis
and the communists have had
on American labor for 20
years.
If we don't care to take this
step, I think it might be better
to tell England we can't do as
we promised and lay down on
the job like the yellow-livered
cowards we'd be.
The price of liberty is blood,
toil, tears, money and eternal
vigilance. Let those 120 million

100 miles inland, if necessary,
but if this far back (it would
be camping in Willamette val
ley) good highways, military
roads over which to move the
heavy anti-aircraft equipment
are required. A glance at the
Oregon state highway map may
provide a dlue. Before anyone
becomes excited, it is proper to
state that at present there are
not enough anti-aircraft guns
to defend Portland and months
will elapse before a sufficient
number have been manufac
tured to equip the numerous
battalions planned for all sec
tions of the United States.
Another matter: If possible, of
ficers say, they do not wish to
shoot over the Oregon coast
highway, preferring a location
between the highway and the

these requirements is still go
