PAGE SEC MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON', SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1941 SE CITY OFFER OF SUNDAY HELP Portland, Sept. 6. MV-The state) employment service re ported today that Oregon'i crit ical harvesters' shortage was "somewhat eased" but large portions of some crops still .would be lost unless more pick ers volunteered. ' Officials estimate! that 7900 Portland residents would work in hop, bean and prune fields Sunday. Emory Worth, employment service official, said 10,000 pickers would be needed in In dependence hopyards next "We'll be okeh for Sunday." he said, "because of the efforts of the clubs and unions. But many of these workers can stay only one day, "Today we had a call from HcMlnnville for 400 prune pick ers and couldn't fill it. At least 500 bean pickers are needed near Salem and West Stayton. "The next two or three days will tell the story of the prune crop. The situation is acute with .picking time short. "The bean crop should be har vested by the first of the week. The yield has been more than normal, so growers are not fac ing serious loss. "Hops have not been greatly hurt as yet because the crops will not mature for another 10 days. Conditions still improve if the skies remain clear. If rain comes, growers face the danger of mildew." Cjhurch ' Jtfotices (Ooatlnued From Pag Pita.)

Septeaber 1. BY RICHARD L. NEUBERGER Special Writer. 7e Onaoaua LIKE THE BOSS." which Is his way of referring to the presi dent of the United States, Har old L. Ickes says he would like to return to the Pacific north west "again and again and again. The secretary of the interior, under whose jurisdiction are a fourth of the lands of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon tana, walked slowly along the shores of blue Lake Crescent in the Olympic national park. He pointed up at the great Douglas fir "rain forests" mantling the steep slopes of Storm King mountain. A shred of cloud hu.'.g like a banner on Storm King's pinnacled summit Mr. Ickes explained that he has no intention of asking for further national parks in the Pacific northwest "It has been claimed," said he, "that I have ambitions to lock up vast ex panses of the region in addi tional parks. This is not true. I am not even asking for the cre ation of new national monu ments. The forest service has declared that there are areas of such superb grandeur in the northwest that they ought to be preserved in perpetuity. Play Areas Urged "For my own part, I would like to see the establishment of recreational areas in appropri ate instances." Mr. Ickes walked up the steps of Storm King cottage, nestled among tall firs, and sat down in the log living room. He was shown several of the re cent motorlogs sponsored by The Oregonian and the Oregon State Motor association. Care fully he looked over two on Mount Rainier park in Wash ington and the Mount Jefferson wild area in Oregon. Pointing to the stories, he said: "Our people should be en couraged to visit places like this. Communion with the woods and wilderness is good for our citizens. The more of them who know about the for ests and mountains the better." Besides being secretary of the interior, Harold L. Ickea is also oil administrator for the presi dent He was asked about the effect on travel of shortages in facilities for transporting pe troleum. "Well." he answered alowly, "there may be some ad verse effect for a time. Spring Travel Hoped "However, the travel to places like the Olympic national park may not begin again in force until next spring. By then we sincerely hope to have the ' problem solved, at least on the Pacific coast Oil tankers are -1 Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickea. photographed dur ing visit to Olympic park. being constructed faster than ever before. American ingenuity and resources are turning out these vessels in record time." The secretary pushed an old straw hat back on his head. "It wasn't an easy job to set aside this park," he volunteered. "There was plenty of opposi tion. "I suppose I made many ene mies insisting on an adequate park with wide, generous boun daries. All I can say is that I feel it was worth it I am sure that you on your motoring trip will agree to that, and I am sure that men, women and chil dren will feel that way for many generations to com. Surely no one can really grudge to posterity this beautiful corner of our vast land." The Olympic national park was established by congress and President Roosevelt in 1938, one year after the presi dent visited the northwest to dedicate Bonneville dam and was so impressed by this sec tion of America. It is the na tion's newest national park. If anywhere in the northwest there are forests primeval, the Olympic peninsula is that place. Within a few rods of Lake Cres cent lodge and Storm King cot tage the thick woods begin. Long before white men looked across the sea and saw Ameri ca's distant shore, these trees were growing. They grew in the rain. No part of continental United States has heavier pre cipitation than the Olympics. Rain in some parts of the pe ninsula reaches 122 inches. The forests are of tropical thickness and density. Woodsmen call them "rain forests." Lake Crescent Noted Best known of the resorts in the Olympic national park is Lake Crescent along the ex treme northern edge of the area. Trout fill the lake and in the hills to the south there are trails of boundless beauty and Intrigue. Lake Crescent is only 20 miles from Port Angeles, one of the taking-ofi places by boat for Victoria. The entire park la ribbed with trails. These are wilderness trails in every sense. Roads penetrate but a small portion of the park's total area. Most of it is accessible only to the adven turer willing to go by horseback or on foot The Hoh valley and the Queets river present spec tacular vistas and picturesque trails.

McMahan, an nouncing that the slate bar trial committee had cited him on mis conduct charges, said today he would refuse to appear and would not tile an answer. McMahan charged that the move by the bar "is a political maneuver by lawyers, by men who don't like my Independence in the way I conduct court." McMahan said the bar charges were based on the filing of an affidavit of prejudice against McMahan by Robert T. Mautz, Portland lawyer, last December, and McMahan' resulting de nunciation of Mautz. The bar complaint says that McMahan's statements "are wholly false, unfounded In fact and defama tory and libelous of the said Ro bert T. Mnuti." N.Y.A. AIDS 2, OREGON STUDENTS Washington. Sept.

FIRST AT U-BOAT (Continued Prom Page One) Truth Challenged Senator Capper (H-Kas). a member of the senate foreign relations committee and one who has not voted consistently for administration foreign meas ures, directly challenged the truth of the nazi statement. "My opinion is that the Ger mans have made some misstate ments in their communique," he said. "1 can hardly believe that the president would order our warships to attack in an effort to incite the people into war. Beyond that, there is little that can be said until all the facts are known." In any event, the German pro nouncement cleared up any ling ering doubt as to the nationality of the submarine involved in the Incident with the Greer, something which had to be es tablished conclusively before this country could make a diplo matic protest. Where the conflicting claims are concerned, the American government would, of course, stand upon the report given to it by the commanding officer of the Greer. New Policy Seen On the basis of the statement of the Greer's commander that the U-boat fired first, there was speculation in congressional cir cles whether this was an indica tion of a new policy on the part of Germany. Some time ago Hitler announced that any ships which his submarines encount ered in blockade areas would be sunk. The application of this policy to American warships, however, has obviously been held in abeyance. Some suggested, that If Ger many now intended to attack American ships, its purpose might be tvo-fold: to increase the effectiveness of its blockade of England, and simultaneously to bolster its axis-partner Japan. Since Germany Invaded Rus sia, Japan has become surround ed with actual or potential ene mies. Moreover, the United States is shipping war supplies between the islands of the Jap anese archipelago to Vladivos tok and the Russian army. German U-boat activities against American naval vessels on the Atlantic, if continued and made general, might have the effect of attracting American ships from the Pacific to the At lantic, consequently easing the pressure on Japan. inere was a disposition on the part of some to believe that the uermans actually were without any knowledge of the Greer incident beyond what has been disclosed by the American government. Expressing this view, Connal- ly said the German communi que was merely "a ruse to make it appear that the U-boat had not been sunk." Fish Price Vote Astoria. Sept. 6.
