DRIVE FOR BOND BUYING PLEDGES OPENS TOMORROW Campaign Will Last Week Minute Men' Will Visit Every County Home. About 1,000 workers, known as "minute men," will take to the field tomorrow to visit every home in Jackson county In the national defense savings stamp and bond campaign. Every person having regu lar Income will be asked to sign a pledge to buy a certain amount of savings stamps or bonds each week or month. The pledge Is entirely volun tary, no selling pressure will be exerted and each person will be asked to sign up for only what he feels he can continue regularly for duration of the emergency. Notation will be made on each pledge card If bonds and stamps are already being pur chased regularly through the payroll allotment plan or news paper carriers. The campaign will last a week. It is a test campaign In Oregon that the treasury depart ment Is watching with Interest and so the state committee Is anxious to keep Oregon as a model of patriotism. "This is a patriotic endeavor In which we are all striving for the same end victory for de mocracy, said Moore Hamilton, chairman of the pledge cam paign. "One way we all can help Is to invest In savings stamps and bonds to help pay the cost of war and at the same time practice thrift and estab lish an interest-bearing nestegg that will come in mighty useful after the war. "It should be borne In mind that this pledge campaign Is entirely voluntary and that the canvassers are merely trying to help In the defense effort. For that reason we feel certain that every family called upon will give the canvassers a cordial welcome and an opportunity to explain the. pledge system. We ask the sympathetic cooperation of everyone." Mr. Hamilton pointed out that the pledge books are the prop erty of the U. S. treasury de partment and their contents are confidential, canvassers being Instructed explicitly not to show them to anyone but authorized persons. ROGUE FOREST TO Washington, Jan. 19.

WILLKIE REFUSES UMPIRE POST SO Washington, Jan. 19. (AP) Friends of Wendell L. Willkie said today the 1941 Republican presidential nominee apparently had decided to decline official position with the government be cause he wished to preserve his private capacity as a citizen and be free to utter constructive criti cism of the administration's war effort. Willkie already has rejected an offer of appointment as one of a panel of arbiters to aid the new war labor board in its efforts to settle industrial disputes. President Roosevelt disclosed plans last week for the forma tion of such a panel, mentioning James A. Farley, Alfred E. Smith and Charles Evans Hughes, the retired chief Justice, as possible members. Willkie also was counted upon to become one of this group, but left a conference with the presi dent last week without commit ting himself. He since notified Mr. Roosevelt that he did not de sire to serve in such capacity. Willkie was reported to have been influenced in his decision by the possibility that if he be came directly associated with the government, he would not be at liberty to speak his mind about things that might go wrong In the war production effort.
