PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1942 E :t E UNABLE TO SERVE IN LEGISLATURE The war, that unsettling influ ence which Is wrecking so many plans and programs these days, has projected itself Into the Jack son county legislative set-up with the result that the county court will probably be called upon to name a representative to serve tn the place of Frank J. Van- Dyke, Ashland attorney, elected In November. VanDyke is now In training at Camp Roberts Cal., as a candidate for a com mission In the army and, it is said, has written a friend in Ash land that he sees little chance for furlough from his training to attend the legislature, which convenes January 11. Although the electorate voted slight increase in legislator's pay, the trip to Salem Is still un attractive, what with restif tions and difficulties in travel and lack of accommodations in the capital city. However, It is known that at least one Medford man is in a receptive mood and political wiseacres of the coun ty believe a man long-prominent in county politics In the Ashland end of the area may seek con sideration if, and when the time t comes to appoint a successor to vanity xe. Under Oregon law, no action will be taken until VanDyke no tifies the secretary of state that ha cannot or will not serve. It will then be up to the secre tary to notify the county court, the latter body having he power of appolnment. The Jackson county delega tlon, all Republicans, Includes, besides VanDyke, Earl Newbry, senator, and William M. McAllis ter, representative, who is slat ed to be speaker of the house, PAY RESERVATIONS FOR BONDS HEAVY The fact that the soldiers of the U. S. army are giving money in addition to their lives for the -successful conclusion of this war Is indicated by the fact that men of the 91st division at Camp White have had pay res ervations for the month of No vember totalling $35,448 for the purchase of war stamps and bonds. - A total of $34,448 for the mcr.th of November was ex pended by the 61st division men for war stamps and bonds, the $16,000 being on a voluntary purchase plan, the $33,448 on the pay reservation plan. II OF Portland. Ore., Dec. IS (U.B Edgar F. Kaiser, son of Master builder Henry Kaiser and general manager of three shipyards In the Portland area, was named the "first citizen of Portland for 1642" today by the Portland Realty Board. Citing Kaiser's contribution to the city and the war effort, a report issued by the secret nom inating committee said Kaiser "could appropriately be called the year's first citizen of the Pa cific northwest." BRIDE NEED ROOM Wives, mothers and sweet hearts of men at Camp White are flocking into Medford for few days visit with their loved ones and Chamber of Commerce aides said Saturday they have many calls for help in finding accommodations, some of which border on the pathetic. One young soldier came Into the chamber yesterday seeking aid in finding room for his bride, due to arrive Monday from Chi cago. He had tried all day to find something, he related In a choked voice, his liberty time from camp was drawing to a close and still he had been un able to make any arrangements for his wife. Secretary Frank Hull said literally dozens of such touch lng t ipeals are listened to daily. The chamber has found some rooms but Secretary Hull reit erated his plea that Medford residents having a spare room call the chamber and list the address so that incoming visi tors may find a place to lay their heads.

IS (U.R) On the battle-scarred quarter deck of the heroic cruiser San Francisco, Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the U. S. fleet, today presented the congressional medal of honor to Cmdr. Bruce McCandless for conspicuous gallantry in the great naval "battle of Guadal canal" November 13. The caprice of battle put Mc Candless, 31-year-old communi cations officer from Long Beach, Cal., in technical command of the heavy cruiser amidst an in ferno of shellfire and shrapnel. Against overwhelming odds, Mc Candless directed his ship vic toriously against a Japanese fleet. Admiral King arrived here from Washington, D. C, to rep resent President Roosevelt and congress in presenting the na tion's highest award for heroism to McCandless. Addressing the assembled crew, Admiral King said: "First, welcome home. Sec ondly, well done. It Is men like you in ships like this who do a major part in winning this war. I am confident that when your ship puts out to sea again you will be determined to do even more than you already have done so well." Admiral King then read the citation to Cmdr. McCandless, who has been raised in rank since the night of November 13 when the San Francisco fatally crippled a Japanese battleship. sank a cruiser and destroyer, and damaged several other enemy ships vainly trying to reinforce Guadalcanal. 'In the midst of a violent night engagement, the fire of a determined and desperate enemy seriously wounded Lieutenant Commander McCandless and rendered him unconscious, killed or wounded the admiral in com mand, his staff, the captain of the ship, the navigator and all other personnel on the navigat ing and signal bridges. "Faced with the lack of su perior command upon his recov ery, and displaying superb Initi ative, he promptly assumed com mand of the ship and ordered her course and gun fire against an overwhelmingly powerful force. HITS MINE, SUNK SOLOMONS ISLES Washington, Dee. IS U.B The United States has lost 22,000-ton transport in the South Pacific but American forces in the Solomons are still carrying the fight to the enemy with heavy bombing attacks on Japa nese sea and air bases, the navy disclosed today. U. S. bombers on Wednesday (island time) blasted a new ene my airfield only 130 miles north west of Guadalcanal. In another raid the same day, they de stroyed six Japanese Zero fight ers while scoring three hits on one tanker and "straddling" a second at Falsi harbor, 273 miles northwest of their home base. The lost transport was the for mer American President liner President Coolidge, which was being operated by the War Ship ping Administration for the ar my. Carrying 4000 troops with full equipment, it struck a mine presumably enemy and .went down but rescue work was so "prompt and efficient," the navy said, that only four men were lost. The sinking 10th of an Amer ican transport in this war oc curred in recent weeks but the navy did not reveal the precise time or place. The navy's report from the Solomons confirmed recent In dications that the Japanese were operating a new airfield at Mun- da on New Georgia island, pre sumably in an effort to check mate American fliers from Guadalcanal.
