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.

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.

An Investigation of all coal de

"This office is vitally interested

States Bureau of Mines has
agreed to send a mining engineer
to Investigate all of the coal de
posits in the state of Oregon.
This office will make a spe
cific request that the United
States Bureau of Mines engineer
investigate the coal deposits in
the vicinity of Medford and
Ashland." .
