FLAG OF MERIT
Portland. Ore- April 28
Oregon Shipbuilding Corpora
tion received today the V. S.
maritime commission's first flag
of merit for outstanding liberty
ship production as another
freighter th seventh this
month went down th ways.
Before the famous bait! of
Belleau Wood in 1818, Colonel
Albertus W. Catlln of th U. S.
Marines told his men "Civ 'cm

The Leopard s Spots Can Change
llE don't believe the Oregonian will call the Sat-
" EvePost naughty names anymore, for the great
American Weekly has changed its spots 1
Yes, while no public announcement is made, the
last issue shows a marked change, not only in the
editorial staff roster, but in the contents.
After many years of isolationism, which even
extended after the declaration of war, the Post is
now, as pro-war as a U.S.A. recruiting sergeant
And one distinguished name on the masthead
is conspicuous by its absence the enthusiastic pro
ponent of America First Mr. Garet Garrett 1
JISTEN to this blackface box on page 10:
"We. all of us Americans ar partners In on big
business now. Its called the American War Effort and It
has enrolled the services of every citizen until this war
Is won. On page 39 on branch of this business of ours,
th U. S. Army Recruiting Service, publishes an ap
peal to all Americans. We heartily recommend it to you."
It is a STIRRING appeal for young men to be
come officers in the U. S. flying service.
EVEN more striking, perhaps, is the editorial page
which only a few weeks ago was stressing various
undesirabilities in Russian doctrine, dangers of in
flation in this country, with emphasis also on New
Deal inefficiency and waste.
Nothing at all subversive, of course, but on the
other hand, decidedly critical of allied philosophy
and U. S. war administration to date.
Now, with Garet Garrett kicked out, we have
appeals for increased food production with strong
commendation of the administration's agricultural
policy, and an urgent U. S. call for Chinese relief.
DUT the most emphatic evidence of a change of
heart is apparent in the news articles, particular
ly one entitled "What's Wrong with Revolution", by
the well known war correspondent Demaree Bess.
Now Bess is the man whose articles so aroused
the indignation of our conservative contemporary the
Portland Oregonian, when the ugly epithet of liar
was employed.
IN this article while the author does not deny prac-
tices and policies in Russia, which are in violation
of the ideals and aspirations of this democracy, does
conclude on a note that puts these two great "demo
cratic" countries in the same "revolutionary bed";
maintains that Russia, relatively speaking, is "almost
conservative"; while "Stalin's converts, far from be
ing a menace to us at the present time, are a strong
bulwark of our existing order."
THER war articles in the same issue are of the
same general tdnor. The lead "Wasps of War,"
predicts guerilla fighters are paving the way for
eventual defeat of Hitler and Hirohito" while the
most interesting article of all, "Japan's Islands of
Mystery," while stressing the difficulties of driving
Japan out of the South Pacific declares this can be
done and the United States is the power to do it,
while the brutality and bestiality and unpopularity
of Nippon's warriors are convincingly brought out
VES, it is quite a change, and to the Oregonian as
well as all other right-thinking Americans, a very
welcome one.
We have a pious hunch that a sudden down
ward curve in the subscription list since Pearl Harbor
had SOMETHING to do with itl

who are building these canton

where an air base four miles
square Is under way. and at var
ious other points in the north
west where shore stations of the
navy and depots and similar de
velopments are In progress from
Spokane to Klamath Falls.
SECRETARY Stlmson writes
that his concern arises from the
fart that he is primarily respon
sible for military efficiency and
because he must rely upon In
dustry and Industrial workers to
supply munitions and because he
"Is responsible to the parents of
these splendid young men In th
army for seeing to it that they
are not surrounded by a virions
and domorallting environment."
The secretary is far from satis
fied with what steps have hith
erto been taken, as he writes
that si-Kregnted district and pe
riodic examination of prostitutes
has boon a farce.
Surgeon General James C.
Magre of the army medical

IT is the "milk trust" that
Is fighting the unionizing of
dairymen by John L. Lewis, ac
cording to lieutenants of Lewis.
These aides are trying to attract
dairymen to the coal miners'
union and Washington and Ore
gon are listed on th scop of
their planned activities. The or
gantzers Insist that they will not
burn down barns nor shoot cows
to persuade dairymen to Join the
union.
Dairymen, say Representative
Stevenson of Wisconsin, ar los
ing money by not having their
milk powdered. Milk drying
machinery should be in every
dairying community, he says.
and the machinery should be
obtained before WPB puts the
kibosh on metals. A quart of
powdered milk contains more
vitamins and calcium than 28
eggs. 183 slices of bread, or 14
cups of carrots. In powdered
form the milk needs no refrig
eration and cannot freere, and
150.000 quarts powdered can be
carried In an airplane. Butter
makers can use th separated
milk and make money on each
10 gallons of the milk left after
the pound of butter is produced.
The separated milk la a hv
product which is "velvet." As
the northwest Is one of the lead
' Ing dairy sections. Increased
attention Is suggested to the
I milk drying business.
FCLP mills, of which there
are about 40 In th northwest
states, have been advised to
build up stockpiles of sulphur.
The sulphur was curtailed last
year whrn ships specializing in
that cirgo were diverted. Now
WTB suggests accumulating all
the sulphur possible, intimating
that ther will be troubl with
transportation facilities later
Order has been Issued that no
canned goods move In refriger
ator cars. This Is a prelude to
other restriction on shipping.

THE MYSTERY
A reader reports her experi
ence with allergy:
After reading your pam
phlet I began
taking tan
grains of sol
uble potassium
chloride two
or three times
day.
"Believ 1 1
or not, as soon
as I began tak
ing It my
sneezing spells
vanished. Now
I take th cal
cium and vita
min O right along, twice day,
and my hivas also hav disap
peared. The relief I experi
enced after the first fw doses
of solubl potassium chloride
was very similar to that I had
felt when my physician gav me
adrenalin.
"Now I am enjoying my dally
work in the production depart
ment of Red Cross chapter
especially since I no longer
wonder if my hands, feet or per
haps face will be all swollen
from th hives, and I do not
have to carry a package of ex
tra handkerchiefs."
On request I will mall copies
of the pamphlets "Relief for Al
lergy" and "The Calcium Short
age" to any reader who pro
vides a stamped envelope bear
ing his address.
Allergy is still a mystery. In
some cases perhaps merely sup
plementing the regular diet with
calcium and enough vitamin D
to Insure assimilation and utili
zation and retention of the cal
cium, brings relief. In others a
dose of soluble potassium chlor
ide (of course well diluted)
taken Immediately when th al
lergic attack occurs has a happy
effect. In the allergy pamphlet
I mention that some physicians
believe potassium may mobilize
or activate or Increase the ac
tion of the internal secretion of
the adrenal glands adrenalin.
In other cases neither of these
remedies proves effectual. How
ever, neither can do any harm
in any case, so far as I know.
The calcium feeding should be
continued regularly over a
period of months. The soluble
potassium chloride may be kept
on hand and taken as an emer
gency remedy for the discom
fort of the attack. The calcium
Is corrective or preventive. The
potassium Is simply a palliative
Communications
Let Soldiers Fish
To the editor:
Note In Medford Tribune of
April 24th, an account of a
member of the army air corps
home on a furlough, fined for
fishing near Butte Falls, with
out a license. It is most regret
able that any man serving this
country In time of war is not
allowed to fish to his heart's
content sans license. After all,
the streams and fish belong to
Uncle Sam and surely the boys
serving him so nobly are en
titled to all the privileges that
our great recreational areas af
ford. There is little that w can do
for them who are willing to
sacrifice so much for us. None
of us know what lies ahead for
these lads. Let them be happy
while they can.
Mrs. Blanch Garrett,
Ashland, Oregon.
Why th Dillerencet
To the editor:
Will someone pleas tell us
why th boy in uniform Is pun
ished and penalized for quit
ting, while the man In overalls
is given free rein to stop the
defense th uniformed boy is
building.
Such as Bridges and others
of the same calibre that ar go
ing out on strike, have caused
us too much damage and ex
pense. And In times like these
when efforts and expense
should be expended in defense,
they should be given a quick
send-off. In a war like this they
are willing that other men
should die to perpetuate a civi
lization which has been kind to
them. Would that they might be
set apart forever, forgotten by
a land they chose to forget in
Its hour of dire peril.
The racketeers that go out
on strike at this time not only
play the part of a craven but It
is a form of treason and should
be punished as such. Men are
dying to preserve the liberties
and rights, which enable rich
strikers to escape performance
of their duties as men and as
citizens of a free country. It is
difficult to believ In th sin
cerity of th men who deliber
ately shirk their duty, however
obnoxious Its performance may
be. It is not In th least under
standable when human liberties
are at stake.
If I was on the selectlv ser
vice board I would see that th
numbers of all strikers would
be drawn and rated A l and rec

Of ALLERGY
and has no curative value, to far
as I know.
A few years ago when allergy
was new or rather when It was
new to John Public there may
have been a bit of snobbishness
or smootiness about having It.
But, shucks, Tom, Dick and
Harry hav It now and it Is be
ginning, to be remarkable to
find an individual who never
has any at all or who is not
"allergic" to this and that
Now you know as much as I
do, maybe more, about allergy.
But any one who has had it
knows it Is no Joke. On the
other hand no one who is sub
ject to allergy should take it
too seriously. A bit of a nuis
ance at times, but life wouldn't
be interesting if ran too smooth

SALVAGE NAMED
F
NCO.
Chairman Fowler Announces
Group as Appointed By
Governor Plans Studied.
County Agent R. G. Fowler,
chairman, announced today the
personnel of the salvage com
mittee of the Jackson County
Civilian Defense council as ap
pointed by Gov. Charles A.
Sprague, and said plans were
being made for the handling of
the scrap in Medford and would
be explained In detail in the
next few days.
Other members of .the com
mittee are as follows: K. A.
Wells, Boy Scouts; Adj. Charles
Cox, Salvation army: W. A.
Howes, Pomona grange. Gold
Hill; E. C. Corn. Medford Rot
ary club; F. C. Homes. U. S. D.
A., war board, Ashland; Harry
Kaplon, Medford Bargain house;
J. C. Cass Wrecking company,
Medford and J. E. . Martin,
American Legion, Ashland.
To Regular Buyers
Fowler stated that all scrap
metal should be sold through
regular salvage concerns such
as the Medford Bargain house
and the J. C. Cass Pipe and
Machinery company, as the
sorting and breaking up of the
scrap is important in speeding
It on its way to the proper gov
ernment agency. The price set
by the government for the
scrap is $8 a ton of 2.000
pounds, Fowler said, and added
that citizens should gather the
scrap and deliver it directly to
the salvage concern.
"It is known there is a great
deal of scrap, cast iron and steel
available In Jackson county,"
Fowler pointed out, "and it Is
the patriotic duty of those who
have this scrap to collect it and
see that it is delivered."
Fowler mentioned the follow
ing sources for scrap: farm
tools, logging chains, wire fenc
ing, metal fence posts, motor
and motor parts, playground
equipment, pieces of all metal,
wall handles, plows, wheelbar
rows and such. He estimated
that an old combine would pro
duce about 4,000 pounds of
scrap to be converted into guns
and equipment needed by the
army.
Registrations In board num
ber one of Jackson county yes
terday for the nation's fourth

Chairman Guy Applewhite said
today.
This number appeared for

and Applewhite stated that the
total for th board was not
quite complete since a few shut
in men were yet to be regis
tered. The compiling of total regis
trations in board two is not fin
ished but unofficial figures in
dicate that 1,528 men signed up
in five communities. Ashland
registered 767; Central Point,
397; Phoenix. 183; Prospect, 92
and Butte Falls, 89 according to
reports from those communities.

RESTORATION OF
Work To Lead to Appropri
ate Degrees In Commerce
Long Controversy Ends
Portland, Ore., April 28 MP)
Oregon State college wa
granted the right to give ma
jor work leading to "appropri
ate degrees" in business by th
state board of higher education
today, concluding a long con
troversy over proposed restor
ation of the old school of com
merce lost In the 1932 reorgan
ization. a
In the formal action, propos-
ed by the curricula committee
and passed unanimously, tha
board avoided use of th word
commerce and left detail of
"courses, organization and ad-4
ministration" to be worked out
later. Acting President F. A.
Gilfillan accepted the action,
however, as essentially what
had been sought by the college
and pledged the institution to
fulfill the "opportunity snd
obligation" It afforded.
President Willard Marks ex
plained following the meeting
that the action does not consti
tute restoration of the old school
of commerce, but that it is de
signed to provide the necessary
new degree work to meet tha
educational needs of the state
from its land grant college un
der modern conditions. X
Personnel adjustments includ
ed:
Southern Oregon College of
Education: leaves of absence,

Portland, April 28 (JP
Budgets for the coming year
which lopped $234,036.29 from
current operating totals of the
state system of higher educa
tion, and forced a staff reduc
tion equal to 107 full-time mem
bers, were approved today by
the higher education board.
Because of the anticipated de
crease of 25 per cent in student
enrollment next year, most of
the reductions were made in the
instructional divisions, except
for the medical school where
no reduction will occur, the fi
nance committee reported.
The committee also pointed!
out that it had, in adopting the
recommendations of Chancellor
F. M. Hunter, purposely taken
the eloomiest view of enroll
ment drops, but hoped that
students would follow the uni
versal advice to continue in
college until called for other
duties.
