Most of Clues Hold Little
Hope Trouble Developed
After Passing Over Here.
Mrs? W. A. Gates, head of
the war relief office for the
American Red Cross, reports
that the response of volunteer
workers since the entrance of
the United States into the war
has been whole-hearted and sin
cere, showing the willingness of
local residents to contribute
their time and effort to a united
front for victory.
As yet no yarn or material
is on hand for volunteer work
but all will be given an oppor
tunity to work iq the near fut
ure when the supply is expect
ed to arrive.
Mrs. Julia Myers of Rogue
River, who was 81 years old
December 31, has knitted 29
men's sweaters for war relief.
If one were years younger 29
men's sweaters would still be a
record. Would it not?
Volunteer office workers have
been kept busy at the Red Cross
war relief office getting gar
ments completed for the last
quota. Sewing of buttons, iron
ing, addition of labels and last
minute work must be done in
order that the local shipment is
in 100 percent shape for its
destination.

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.

Chicago UP Dr. Anton J.
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. There may be
many bad effects not sufficient
ly acute to cause persons to see
their doctors.

ADROIT POLICY
ANKARA. flJ.R) Turkey ent
ers 1942 with her little capital
on the Anatolian plateau seeth
ing with International intrigue.
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.
