A number of reports of seeing and Rearing a plane flying west and south of this city were given the sheriff's office last right and today by citizens, but most of them were indefinite and furnished but slight leads to the missing army photo graphic plane with two enlisted men and an officer pilot aboard which passed over this city at 10:40 a. m. last Tuesday, headed for a California airport. At that time the plane contacted the Medford airport and reported "all well." . O. V. Johnson, of the Poor man Creek district, who lives on the Sterling road on the Nunn place, five and one-half miles from Jacksonville, report ed today that last Tuesday be tween 10:10 and 10:30 a. m. he saw a yellow bi-plane with army insignia on the wings flving south at high speed. Johnson said a few minutes later the plane turned over Hopkins peak and headed back toward Medford, with black smoke pouring from the exhaust and he thought it was losing altitude. Discrepancy Seen Johnson reported to the sher iff's office and was shown a picture of the missing photo graphic plane. He said the plane he saw had only one engine. The missing plane has two. According to Sherif Syd I. Brown the missing plane, when it passed over Medford, was travelling 300 miles per hour. and was following the westerly lane used by southbound planes. At its rate of speed, it would be over Fort Jones, in Siskiyou county in about 10 minutes The sheriff theorizes any trouble that developed would have oc curred south of Fort Jones. The sheriff and army author ities request that any person; hearing or seeing planes about or around 10:40 last Tuesday morning make a report either to the sheriff or Medford airport Nazi Revolt Rumors Should Be Treated With Great Reserve a By DoWltt M.cKanile (Wide World War Analyst) The greatest stroke of good fortune that could come to the allies would be a revolt in Germany and the consequent col lapse of Herr Hitler. That perhaps accounts for the avidity with which a lot of folk are seizing on reports of disaf fection in the Hitlerian ranks and trying to squeeze over much juice out of this turnip. The tendency to wishful think ing probably has been increased by the seriousness of the allied posit inn In these opening days of the battle of the Pacific the effort being to offset the un comfortable facts that for the moment we apparently must take it in the neck from the Japs. Because of the danger that allied peoples may get a dis torted view of the military po sition, and become too confi dent, a spokesman for the British- foreign office has warned that reports of impending re volt in Germany should be treated with extreme reserve. That's good advice. We should not forget the adage about counting our chickens, et cetera. The reports in question cover two points. One is that there is disaffection among Hitler's army officers and men. His re cent shelving of several of his high command to cited In sub stantiation. The other Is that there Is growing ' discontent among the German people be cause of privations and military reverses. London newspapers have published a statement that the nazi government has set up machine-gun posts throughout Berlin and other key cities to guard against any possible ef fort to overthrow the regime. Of course, the allies have been working overtime ever since the war started to bring about a revolution in Germany. That has been one of their card inal points of strategy. They haven't forgotten that the Ger man army and people cracked in 1918. However, the allied command never for a moment has lost sight of the fact that there must be a combination of military and economic pressure to achieve victory. "The present position as I see it is this: Hitler's regime is as delicate ly balanced as an egg on the end of a pencil. Its strength lies not In the nazi doctrines but in the leadership of Just one man der fuehrer. Hitler's hold on his people has .been, and may well still be, one of the most remarkable phe nomena of our tlaae. Even those who have condemned many of his policies, such as his perse cution of the churches and the Jews, still have held that he hjs done great things for the fatherland. I encountered that attitude throughout Germany myself. Some of his more fanat ical followers regard him as a messiah literally so. However, Germans as a whole have been following, not Ideals or political doctrines, but their faith in the capabilities of an individual to achieve what he has set out to do. Undoubtedly some of this has been Just faith in Hitler's uncannr good luck, which has accompanied his un questionable skill. Thus we have a situation In which the people of the reich will have lost everything if they lose their faith in this one man. And this, consequently, would mean the downfall of Hitler. collapse of the house that Adolf built. Goering and the rest of his key-workers are but sha dows which must disappear when the sun goes down. JOINS "V" PARADE Wichita, Kas.

Carlson, University of Chicago physiologist, warned today that there may be a universal health menace in the chemicals men have mined from the interior of the earth. Particularly great, he said, is the potential danger of lead poi soning from the vast quantities of lead dumped on the earth's surface, from evaporated gaso line fumes burned and crumbled paint and fruit and vegetable sprays. "This poisoning," he said, "as well as others, including arsenic and fluorine poisoning, produces no symptoms until it is In an ad vanced stage.

This intrigue might develop into genuine peace proposals, but it is equally, if not more, likely that before 1942 is finished Tur key, like her Balkan neighbors, will be extinguished as a free nation or that she will be a battleground. President Tnoenu made over tures toward the first alterna tive when he told the Turkish national assembly at its first winter session on November 1 that he hoped Turkey would "be come the source of peace," but at the same time he recognized that the war probably will em brace ever-wider circles during the next year, A comparison between the pre sident's speech this year and the one he made on the same oc casion last year shows how Tur key's foreign policy has altered as war closed around her fron tiers. In 1940 he indicated that Turkey was a "non-belligerent" and that her policy, was based on her alliance with Great Britain. In his most recent speech he described Turkey as a neutral and referred only to her deter mination to observe her engage ments. He also mentional Tur key's unalterable friendship with Germany. Germany's Invasion of the Bal kans is responsible for the shift. Only Britain's growing strength in the Middle East and Ger many's difficulties In Russia pre vented it from going further. Britain's successes in Lybia fur ther stabilized Turkey's position. Because of Turkey's small stature among the warring pow ers, it is inevitable that she should reflect the play of force beyond her frontiers. Turkish statesmen, however, probably are telling the truth when they say their country would resist any invader despite his strength. STORK DOUBLES UP Centralia, 111.
