For his comments are perfectly proper, and if his identity were known we would gladly print them in full. There is another one again taking the Mail-Tribune to task for not giving its readers the facts regarding the war. "Look over your files the past ten days and then see if your face isn't red, victory after victory for the heroic Anzacs and now it is admitted, they are fleeing for their lives. How much i:nger are you going to keep up this farce, it has been going on ever since September, 1139." We admit it We have admitted it before. But having no spec ial correspondents over there, we have to depend up on the regular press services and they, in turn, have to depend upon the official war office reports. And it has been stated repeatedly, the war offices in this conflict are all doing the same thing, playing up news that is favorable, playing down news that isn't rIE only trouble with the British war office is, thara Viova Keen en few favnrnVila itsmn tn ronnrt And we again insist doesn't tell lies, it merely refuses to tell ALL the truth. For example, here is a condensation of the Lon don reports on the battle paper: May 20th: 1900 Germans disguised as New Zealand ers landed by parachute in Crete, but situation is well in hand. Nazis fail to capture airdrome, as Anzacs recapture military hospital for a time in 'chutists hands. All but one group of landing parachutists accounted for. May 21:Germany's attempt to land soldiers in Crete from small speed boats defeated, attackers of Canea quickly surrounded and accounted for. Germans suffer heavy losses, British losses comparatively light. May 22: Prime Minister Churchill tells Commons Nazi 'chutists csptura Candia but British still hold air port there. German gains only Isolated successes, sea landings again fail. Prime Minister adds "situation well in hand, German forces handicapped by lack of artillery and tanks." . May 23: British gain definite edge in Cretan war 16 Nazi air transports shot down, Nazi airborne detach ments at Candia accounted for all killed or taken prison er in bitter hand-to-hand fighting. Trend turning slowly to Britain's advantage. As long as British fleet wards off sea borne landings there is chance invasion will fail. S000 screaming Germans drown as guns of British fleet sinks flotilla of small Greek transports. Rescues impossible be cause of torpedo boat menace. May 25th: Defense position In Crete Improves as al lied forces recapture Land la and Retlno. Germans hold British off at Maleml airport, but elsewhere not so fortun " ate as Anzacs mop up. May 20: Major General Heywood, chief of British military mission to Greece reaches Cairo with Greek King, declares it still possible to hold Crete, but final re sult in doubt, as bitter hand-to-hand fighting continues. Anzacs superior in this type of conflict. May 27: London admits loss in Crete of 2 cruisers and 4 destroyers, declares battle hangs in balance as Brit ish land reinforcements. May 28: German sky troops retake Canea, British ad' mlt withdrawal to better defensive positions. May 28: Crete defenders threatened by German-Italian visa movement. May 30: No London report on Crete. Berlin claims battle is over and British are fleeing. May 31: London denies British flight, also Berlin claim of death of British Commander Freyburg as bis plane crashes in attempt to reach Egj THAT record, we grant, from the standpoint of we do doubt if our "penny else, can point out any specific misstatements of fact And when Crete is lost, if it is lost, there is no doubt of course, Britain will frankly admit it as she has eventually admitted her string of defeats in the past Again we advise our outbreak of the war, to take all official war reports with a grain of salt, for in this war even more than in any other, publicity is a strategy, and every belligerent makes the best story that can be made out of the facts. The misfortune of the in the direction of unrealiability or mendacity, but in the continuously depressing nature of the facts. Lindy Better "UR advice to Colonel Lindbergh is to go fishing for a spell. His last speech indicates the need of a rest and a change of air. Then, perhaps by the phere will have cleared sufficiently, for him to get his bearings, and pick out a safe place to land. P"OR we like "Lindy". We have never questioned his sincerity, his patriotism, or his right, to say what he believes, at any time, anywhere. But when he gets so far off the radio beam, as to accuse President Roosevelt of "being as bad as Hit ler," and seeking world domination because F. D. R. advocates (by implication) the occupation of Dakar and the Cape Verde Islands, then we see danger sig nals ahead, and high time to call it a day. Not for the sake of the cause, so much as for the sake of the "Lone Eagle". TOR while this department has opposed Lindbergh's thesis, from the outset, we have admired his cour age, his consistency and his freedom from personal rancour or intemperance. Moreover from his stand point, it has always seemed to this column he made out a prettv strong case. But this last outburst sundry other symptoms, strongly indicate, that Lindy is rapidly developing an allergy toward good balance rr.mmnn spnsp. vps anil irnnil Mti7pnshir. . 11 nlay l,e uie unsavory company lie nas um imoving towaru wnai ne consiuers me auss. mftjTtoud mate War News I in the mail this morning, the Churchill government of Crete, as printed in this is nothing to boast about objective reporting, but tablet" critic, or anyone readers, as we did at the definite department of war British war office, is not Go Fishing time he returns, the atmos taken with various and , trtbukb, medford. 11HATEVER it is, Lindy has definitely V sense of proportion, and therefore his e ness.

The Cost of Ambu Believe it or not, some indl- vlduals who have nothing wrong physically ara pleased if they find a doctor who thinks an opera tion is necessary. Not that they en joy being dis sected of course they know they'll be under anes thesia for that but they seem to crave the role of pa tient in the drama. Perhaps some such idea is in the back of the mind of the pa tient who needs treatment for hemorrhoids or hernia when he comes to the choice of methods. From correspondence with read ers I gather that a good many of them find it difficult to de cide whether to take ambulant (injection) treatment or to enter a hospital and submit to the radical operation. "I have consulted Dr. ," writes one such patient, "and he said he couldn't promise cure nor could he tell Just how long it would take, but he would do his best and the maximum fee would be not over (let us say $150) in any event, if I decided to have the ambulant treatment But a doctor connected with the hospital here will operate for $100, and that price seems more in line with my limited sal ary The patient falls to consider how many weeks' salary he will lose while he is hospitalized for a major operation and after he returns home from the hospital before he will be in condition to resume work. Indeed, that is one of the features which make the ambulant or injection treat ment the method of choice in most cases of either hernia or hemorrhoids these days, no in terruption of ordinary work or activity. Another feature Is the com parative freedom from the risk involved when one undergoes an operation. Finally the patient under am bulant treatment usually suffers little or no serious discomfort whereas the discomforts follow ing hernia operation or the standard operations for hemor rhoids are plenty. Of course the doctor could not and would not promise a cure no honest doctor or surgeon ever does. If a doctor, surgeon or specialist promises a cure or pre tends to guarantee one you may be certain the fellow is a quack and a dangerous one to have any truck with in any circum stance. An honest doctor can only do his best and it goes without saying that he is as is a Bigger Car a Finer Car yet its price is close ' Jt to the lowest! f JL rt f: 70 7?0 m I I J Sp5y j j tOt TNI 01 IUH "T0100" SIX OUtlHISS C0U I 11 I I j f ' Oarvwfwsf at PoMkk, Mick Star rex, optkmal II I aaaaaaaaaaaaBa. .

KsUFsse Washington, D. C, May 31. Reduction of the number of CCC camps in Oregon is inexorable The CCC enrolleea are offered better pay through the National Youth Administration, and there is also the army competition. Between these rivals and orders from Office of Production Man agement the CCC organization is taking an awful beating. There Is a possibility that CCC will be reduced, eventually, to the vanishing point. First, the director of the bud get slashed 13S camps from the organization. Then the house committee whacked off another 129, making a reduction of 264 camps or sz.boo men. next OPM proposed transfer of 30 camps to the various military reservations. At this point the secretary of the treasury sug gested that if congress wishes to practice economy it could re duce the CCC appropriation to next to nothing. DIRECTOR McEntee of CCC Is having additional troubles. His enrollees are of military age, the selective service age; young fellows quick to learn the mysteries of trucks, tanks, ma chine guns and other imple ments of war. Of the available pool from which to recruit the ranks the draft is taking thous ands. OPM wants 10,000 of these youngsters located at military reservations to receive Instruc tions which will make them bet ter qualified to cross the line from enrollee to draftee. An even greater menace to CCC is the NYA, which has been given the task of training young people. At present more than 388,000 ara on the payrolls of NYA. Of these 135,000 art In shops supervised by NYA and 33,000 others are at residence centers who also work in shops; 96,000 on construction Jobs and 119,000 on white collar or pro fessional Jobs. There are 14,000 of them working directly for the army at cantonments. Under NYA hundreds of young Oregon boys are being taught the funda mentals of trades and are im mediately leaving for aircraft plants, shipyards and other na tional defense projects. Of course, no community ' wishes to see a camp of CCC, j located nearby, closed, but i there is little that Director Mc-i Entee can do about it I SENATOR McNary has a bill , amending the Harrison narcotic act to permit Oregon farmers to raise poppies for seed. The seed is used in qusntities by bakers. Dr. Geo. R. Hislop of plant Industries, O.S.C , has found that the bureau of narco tics unsympathetic in fact,! quite nasty and uppity. In the matter of growing poppies for seed. The bureau is suspicious and intimates that anyone who raises poppies will be raising dope which will be bootlegged and provide an additional source i more than the lowest' and therefor Ins that afford an new car vow rVmiac " I'r't,lo"f for contrsbsnd opium and mor ! phine. To straighten out me su-j uation the amendment has been introduced, but the buresu in tends making a fight against it. aaa ACCORDING to Reclamation Commissioner John Page, at a senate committee hearing, the Deschutes project should have 31,000,000 this year, Instead of the 400,000 provided by the budget In the interior depart ment supply bill. The big Job on the project is drilling a tunnel through Smith Rock. This it a Job that the CCC boys, who are working on the project, are not qualified to perform and a con tract should be let. The $400 000 appropriation is Insufficient to more than make a start and unless there is a substantial sum provided it Is contended that completion of the Deschutes project will be delayed for sev ers! years. a e a INDIAN bureau says a road along Sprague river, bisecting the Klamath reservation, would be "valuable." It is roughly esti mated to cost $600,000 and a start could be made with $150, 000, but what with national de fense, etc., the road is in doubt However, Senator Holman found a good witness in an of ficer from the bureau to build up a case and background. The road would save many miles of travel and be used by Indians and whites alike . . . Dr. Arthur H. Mountford, at the Roseburg veterans' facility, is being trans ferred to the central office in Washington, D. C.

NO member from Oregon or Washington voted against the bill to prohibit sale of beer near military cantonments, despite wires opposing the bill which came from the northwest.
