Newspaper Page Text1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1942. PAGE THREE COAST'S DEFENSE HI Obsolete, Inadequate. Poorly Distributed is Word of Senator on Visit West. Salem, July 22. IJP) U. S. Senator Rufus C. Holman (R. Ore.) said today that the defense of the Pacific coast are "crimin- ally obsolete, woefully inade Q quate and poorly distributed." Holman, a member of a special senate sub-committee appointed to investigate west coast and Alaska defenses, blamed Presi dent Roosevelt and his subordin ates who, Holman said, "are more concerned with the plight of the people of Iraq and Iran than the safety of their folks here at home." He charged that the guns at Fort Stevens could not reply to the Japanese submarine which shelled the Fort Stevens reser vation June 21 because they are of 1898 vintage and lacked range. Planes All Away Holman said there were no naval planes at Tongue Point, because they were "all away on 11 an undisclosed mission." He said further that army bombers at the Portland air base did not attack the submarine because the base was not notified of the attack until several hours after It was over. Senator Holman said army air forces in the northwest are "grossly inadequate." He denied he is an isolation 1st, asserting he is a nationalist, who believes that adequate pre paration for war is the greatest insurance against war. He said the sub-committee would start its investigations in a few days, visiting every mili tary installation on the Pacific and Alaskan coasts. Jehovah Witnesses Hamper War Effort Say K. F. Carpenters Klamath Falls, Ore., July 22 (At Activities of Jehovah's Witnesses were vigorously con demned before the city council here last night by the Carpen ters' local, 190, of the American Federation of Labor. The carpenters, whose action was endorsed by the Central Labor Council, charged the re ligious cult is refusing to sup port the war effort. They asked the council to take steps to "hamper and prevent" Witness activities, such as the distribu tion of tracts and playing of phoi.ograph records on the front porches of unwilling listeners. In a statement to the council, the unionists urged that Jeho vah's Witm .ses be classed as "the most disrespectful element among the conscientious object ors and be looked upon with scorn and disapproval." The council will inquire as to what steps other cities have taken to control such activities I as those of the Witnesses. Station Cinderella Weds Sun Oil Heir Philadelphia, July 22 P Walter C.

Alaska Censorship Slapped by Mayor Of Far North Town Portland, July 22. (IP) "Wouldn't America rather know step-by-step that the Japanese are conquering the Aleutians than to hear all at once that all Alaska is gone?" Mayor J. W. Fletcher of Unalaska, Alaska, asked today in flaying the rigid censorship on Alaska war news. In an interview, Mayor Fletch er said: "Where it makes sense where there's even the least thread of chance that the enemy doesn't have certain information, cens rship is desirable. The Jap B'.iese knew they were there . . . and they knew we knew it be cause they had contacted our planes. Yet the public was kept in ignorance." Capturing Alaska is far differ ent than conquering continental United States, he raid. "Takf Dutch Harbor, Fairbanks, Nome and one or two Jther small towns and Alaska is lost," he said. 1 fl ;I J . 1 &( F Another group left here re cently for final physical exami nation in Portland before being inducted into the U.

And much interest is being displayed in the offer this week by the county war bond sales committee who have ar ranged the privilege of each per son buying a war bond being given a ride in an army jeep at the Victory Center Friday and Saturday. Many parents have telephoned members of the bond sales com mittee asking if their children could ride in the Jeep rather than the mother or father. W. A. . Gates, county bond sales chairman, said today that such arrangements can be made and as a result it is expected that many Jackson county children will be given the opportunity of enjoying a ride in the jeep. Purchasers of bonds this week are requested to ask for a dated copy of the bond application from the issuing . agency and take the dated application to the Victory Center either Frt day or Saturday. - The fact that the drivers of the Jeeps will be handsome soldiers with south ern accents" will probably ap peal to many feminine purchas ers of bonds, the sales commit tee says.
