CITIZENS PART IN
NATIONAL DEFENSE
TOLD BY DONAUGH
U. S. Attorney Declares All
Should Cooperate With
Enforcement Agencies.
Held in Connection With Man's Death
Citizens have a responsibility
in cooperating with law enforce
ment agencies in upholding na
tional defense laws but there
will be no witch hunting, Carl
C. Donaugh of Portland, U. S.
attorney for Oregon, said at the
weekly luncheon-meeting of the
Kiwanis club in the Hotel Med
ford yesterday. Mr. Donaugh is
here for the fall term of U. S.
district court.
The department of justice is
meeting its responsibility with
4t other departments in the en
W forcement of statutes incident
to national defense, laws per
taining to sabotage, subversive
activities and the destruction
of property being manufactured
on national defense contracts,
Mr. Donaugh said. He coun
selled that while citizens also
have a responsibility, no private
organization or individual is
authorized to take the law Into
its own hands or to conduct
investigations of neighbors or
suspicious characters.
No Spying
"We are nbt living in a coun
try where citizens are spying
on one another or where citizens
are under constant surveillance
by law enforcement officers."
Mr. Donaugh pointed out. Nev
ertheless, he added, "we ask
that any citizen having infor
mation regarding improper ac
tivity submit it confidentially
to the federal bureau of inves-
w tigation or local law enforce
ment departments for appro
priate investigation.
Most people regard the pres
ent world war in a military
sense, overlooking the destruc
tion of civilian populations and
thus under-estimating civilian
responsibility in national de
fense and in supporting statutes
designed for national defense,
the government attorney said.
He asserted that in the first
World war the death rate was
one civilian to 75 soldiers
whereas in the present war it
is one to Zva.
"We are concerned in the
present emergency with crime
prevention not only from an
Idealistic, moral and good-citizen
standpoint but also from the
standpoint of the protection of
life and property," he said. "In
a country such as America, free
f at the moment from military
invasion, the program of Hitler
Is to break down morale, cause
dissension and create a lack of
confidence of the citizen in the
ability of law-enforcement to
protect life and property. The
Hitler program seeks to render
ineffective the ability of Amer
ican industry to aid Britain and
also to properly defend our own
country. That is why no citizen
should become hysterical or
fearful but must remain ever
watchful in detecting the ac
tions of anyone who might be
engaged In plans or acts of
sabotage."
Crime Cause Questioned
Speaking of crime in general,
Mr. Donaugh said it was a
fallacy to attribute crime to
unemployment. While economic
conditions have some bearing
on crime, they are not the fully
responsible factor, he declared,
W asserting that though employ
ment increased greatly last year
crime in the United States in
creased 2.2 per cent.
Mr. Donaugh was introduced
by Ctto Frohnmayer who point
ed out that the guest was the
first person in Oregon history
to be appointed for a third term
as U. S. attorney and that when
he was first appointed in 1S33
at the age of 32 he was the
, youngest Oregonian ever to be
come U. S. attorney.
These three youngsters were held In Portland. Me., for "safekeeping" in connection with
the death of a man identified as Grainger C. Browning whose blood spattered body was found in
a Maryland thicket Left to rightt Leona Ellen Cunningham, 14; Herbert H. Cox. 16. and Ida May
Price, IS, all of Alexandria. Va. Richard 8. Chapman, assistant county attorney, quoted Cox as
saying he shot a man when the latter tried to make love to one of the girls.
In The
Day's
News
By Frank Jenkins
THE new situation created by
the Japanese cabinet change
remains in the talking stage.
JAPAN'S new premier, General
Tojo, says in a radio speech:
"Speedy action and iron will
are the only way in which to
overcome our present difficul
ties." He adds:
"Japan must strengthen its
ties with the treaty nations.
(Meaning the axis powers.)
WHEN Tojo speaks of the axis
" powers, he means Germany.
Germany is the axis (whatever
axis means.) Italy is an unwilling
partner, dragged along by force
and coercion against the will of
the Italian people. The others
are stooges or slaves.
ANYWAY, the impression Tojo
wants to convey Is that Japan
is ready to fight on Germany's
side at the drop of a hat.
The important point at the
moment is that he TALKS first.
If Japan really meant to go all
out for Germany, regardless of
consequences, she would shoot
first and talk afterward.
NEED FLAX PLANTS
Corvallis, Ost. 20. P) Un
less additional flax processing
plants are built it will be impos
sible to increase the fiber flax
acreage in Oregon by 90 per
cent as desired under the farm
defense program, Robert Taylor,
Adams, said today.

CHINESE newspapers In Hong
kong (probably well inform
ed) indicate, however, that the
situation is explosive. They say:
"The new Japanese cabinet
smells of powder."
4-
cision Is to create a diversion in
the Pacific that will result in
withdrawing from Britain a
large part of the material help
she is now receiving from this
country, she will take steps that
will PROVOKE WAR with the
United States.
WHAT these steps (if taken)
will be, no mere uninform
ed citizen knows. An attack on
Russia might draw us in. Or an
attack on the Dutch East Indies.
If we fight, it will be in the
name of defense. But the policy
of DYNAMIC defense outlined
by President Roosevelt months
ago is elastic. A Japanese attack
on the Russians in Siberia would
threaten Alaska. A Jap attack
on the Dutch East Indies would
threaten our supplies of rubber
and tin.
OENATOR Wheeler, with whose
utterances this writer has
rather seldom agreed of late,
says:
"I can not imagine anything
more helpful to Hitler than us
jumping into war with Japan,
If there is any likelihood of our
going to war with Japan, then
we ought to CONCENTRATE
our efforts on building OUR
OWN defenses."
If we concentrate our efforts
on building our own defenses,
Britain will suffer in the way of
badly needed supplies she has
been receiving from us.
THAT is undeniably true. Still,
' with the situation as it is, on
ly harm can come from leading
Japan to believe we won t fight.
IN the present explosive situa-
1 tion no ordinary, uninformed
citizen, without access to ALL
the facts, can draw an accurate
conclusion as to what we must
do. We can only rely upon our
leaders, who do possess the
facts.
IN Washington, peppery Senator
Pepper, whose tongue is set on
a hair trigger, says:
"The only way to deal with
the Japs is to draw a line and
warn them that if they cross it
there will be shooting."
AGED Senator Norris of Ne-
braska, who isn't a fire-eater,
says:
"We can't appease Japan any
more than we can appease Hit
ler. If Japan wants to attack us,
she'll attack. All she Is waiting
for is to try and feel certain she
is on the winning side."
That is probably true. If Japan
has made a decision and the de-
