Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1942. BEST STRATEGY, !E( Rotary Sponsored Speaker Cites Long Preparation in Nippon For Onslaught. Only by bombing Japan Itself can we hope to crush this pow erful and unscrupulous foe to her knees. This is the opinion of Dr. I. F. Fisher of Vancouver, B. C, for 22 years a resident of Japan and for 17 years the only foreigner on the teaching staff of the Jap anese naval college in Tokyo. Dr. Fisher, speaking before a ca pacity crowd at the Medford high school auditorium Tuesday night under sponsorship of the local Rotary club, emphasized his belief that Japan's moral, military and economic fronts are strong and her long accumula tion of war supplies will sustain her through a long war. "Japan can't take it when re verses come', Dr. Fisher said. That is our great hope." The educator did not paint a rosy picture in reviewing Jap an's long preparations for war. viewed during several years In that country. Bombing Is their only fear, he said. Shelter for Emperor When Dr. Fisher left Japan on the last boat bound for the western hemisphere Tokya had but one air raid shelter, built for the emperor. One 13-mile shallow subway in Tokyo pro vides the only other shelter in case of bombing and a great por tion of the heavily populated cities are highly vulnerable to incendiary bombs. "The so-called finger-nail hold of the Japs on the tip Islands of the Aleutians might well be come a strangle hold," Dr. Fisher wanted. "The price for dislodging the Invaders from this highly strategic point should be paid at once for a sur prise aerial attack upon Japan is impossible with Attu and Kiska In Japanese hands." Since 1931, when the military factions asumed control of Jap an, her naval yards have been in operation on a 24-hour day basis. Fisher said. Enthusiastic applause greeted his statement that unpatriotic strikers who would sabotage war production here should be Immediately conscripted and sent to the front lines In Lybia. Information concerning Jap an's feverish preparation for war with the democracies, fur nished to American authorities by Dr. Fisher in past years, was met generally with skepticism, he said. These preparations in cluded the training of a vast army of specialized, well equipped fighting men, perfect ed in technique of fighting in Jungles or snow. Elaborate propaganda methods used by the Nippon in building a war atti tude within the country and a feeling of unsuspecting friendli ness in America and Britain were outlined by the speaker, Japan Is highly literate and has among government con trolled newspapers two great papers with more than 2.000,000 circulation each. Moving pic tures, novels, plays and even operas hammering home the propaganda mesages of the Jap anese military had the people "utterly cowed" and convinced that war with America was in evitable, acording to Dr. Fisher. At least 99 percent of the peo ple are behind the empire's war program and their morale will be difficult to brak. Fifth Column Used Young Japanese high school and college - students In this country who were railed to the home-land and "re-Japped" were our greatest menace In fifth column activities before the war, Fisher reminded, and he declared that only by complete evacuation of all Japanese from vital coastal areas could this menace be met. The Jnps invested everything In war bonds without benefit of "intensive campaigns and kisses of movie stars," Dr. Fisher em phasized. "Even gold from their teeth and glasses rims was poured into the war chest to build a gold reserve in America for the purchase of scrap iron and aviation gasoline. More over, every Japanese home Is prepared for first-aid, air raid emergency and ambulance serv ice, an added indication that the people are willingly cooperating in the war program. "Failure to actually invade Australia and the Coral Seas. and Midway defeats are the only hitches so far in the Japs' war time-table. Our only actions, with the exception of the lone air raid on Tokyo, have been defensive.' Our task of crushing this enemy will be a long and costly one, said Fisher. He was Introduced by E. C Corn, chairman of Medford Ro tary club's war effort commit tee. Preliminary remarks were made by Leonard Mayfield, president of the Medford club. eaglepTTchurgh TRUSTEES SOUGHT Carl Esch, Lester Throckmor ton, Mabel Kingery and Mattie V. Brown, trustees of the Pres byterian church at Eagle Point filed a friendly action yesterday against Wesley Childreth, seek ing the appointment of trustees for the First Baptist church of eagle roint. The suit is filed for the con tinuance of a trust created in April 1906, when the late Wit liam Ulrich and wife, deeded a lot in Eagle Point, to be used by the First Baptist church, or oth er religious organizations, when not in use by the Baptists. It Is set forth, there has been no Baptist. church there, for five years, and more, but has been used by the Presbyterians for some time, as an actively func tioning organization. The appli cants ask that they, all residents of Eagle Point, and Childreth resident of Rogue River be ap pointed as trustees, to comply with the terms of the deed. Staff Sergeant Dan J. Ehr- heart, former Medford high school football star now sta tioned In Australia with the U. S. army air force, was a mem ber of a crew of an American bombing plane that recently shot down one and damaged two of 13 Japanese Zero fighter planes in a 45-minute running fight, according to a United Press dispatch. The dispatch quoted Captain Maurice Hogan, pilot of the bomber, as saying his crew is the "grandest" in the whole air force. Three of the crew were wounded in the fight, none ser iously, and the plane sustained five cannon holes, 62 shrapnel scars and numerous bullet holes. Sgt. Ehrhcart is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Ehr- heart, operators of the Corner Inn, 204 South Central avenue and the Chicken Dinner Place, 33S South Riverside avenue.
