MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE,' MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1943 PAGE THREE CITY MINISTERS FOOTBALL AT "U" Resolution Unanimously Adopted Challenging Ac tion at Session Yesterday The Medford Ministerial as sociation at a specially called session yesterday challenged the action of authorities of the Uni versity of Oregon, in permitting the use of the campus for Sunday football, in the following unani mous adopted resoution: MEDFORD MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION Medford, Oregon Oct. 23, 1943. Since the authorities of the University of Oregon have by permission broken a time-honored moral principle held sacred since the founding of the insti tution by permitting the use of the campus for Sunday football: THEREFORE, . be it resolved: 1. That we vigorously chal lenge this action as a breach of trust vested in them by the State of Oregon for violating a traditional principle held sacred by the people of its common wealth. 2. We protest against the use of our state owned campus for the desecration of a tenet that is in direct violation of a command ot Uod. wnicn is Drefaced bv the word "remember": "Remember ?he Sabbath day to keep it holy the Sabbath day and hallowed it." Sunday, recognized as the Christian, Evangelical Sabbath, has ever been the bulwark of our democracy and of our mor al and spiritual life. Further more God commanded that Sab bath observance be extended to gll generations as a perpetual covenant. (Ex. 31:16) ; 3. We regard the action of the university authorities as an em barrassment to like neutral sis ter institutions of our fair state, who sustain and respect this principle held by evangelical Christendom. ' 4. Finally, be is resolved, that the grant of the university au thorities by this institutional is presumption for them to pre- Slimo tn UOt fnr tha nonnla r.f Oregon in the choice of a matter so grave as to involve the viola- DUTCH BOY PAINTS Full Stock YOUNGER'S APPLIANCE SERVICE CO. 31 N.

Seattle United Press Correspondent, London, Oct. 23 (U.R) A quar ter-million German war crim inals, the hatchet-men of Hit ler's new order, stand open to Indictment by the world today with the formation of the Allied war criminals commission which one day will prosecute the case ot humanity against them. Retribution for the crimes of these men, and thousands of equally-guilty Italians and Japa nese, was foreshadowed yester day when representatives of 17 of the United Nations met under the chairmanship of Sir John ounun, oruisn lord cnanceuor, to draw up the legal framework for dealing with Axis atrocities. ' Face Death Penalty In any civil court they would face the death penalty, and the organization of the Allied com mission promises that, in one way or another, they will not be permitted to escape-. , Whether they ever will ji brought to the bar of justice is an open question. Certainly more than 250,000 ' men will never be executed by due proc ess of law in a post-war world weary of killing. ' But observers are convinced that many thousands - of Ger mans never will survive the eventual collapse of the Nazi regime. The Quislings will be left to their countrymen and. except for those who seek sanc tuary in Germany, few of tl.em are likely to come to trial. Men who have had access to the long and growing records of German . tortures and spies compiled by a dozen European undergrounds believe the esti mate of 250,000 Nazi war crim inals is a conservative one as the Gestapo and its spies alone probably exceed 500,000. ' Leaders Only -The quarter - million figures does not include petty stool pigeons, nor does it include the Fritzes and Johanns and Hem- richs who pulled the triggers in the German firing squads, be cause they were obeying orders. But it does take in most of the Nazi leadership, almost the entire Elite Guard Officer corps, and the hundreds of German army officers who suppressed tl.e countries Hitler conquered. The lists ' include first, men who stand accused before the entire world; second, those who have committed crimes against a particular nation or social group, and third, those who. have con sistently carried out the orders ol their superiors against anyone and everyone who balked the new order. While Russia was not rep resented at the organizational meeting of the commission which first was proposed at President Roosevelt's press and radio conference on Oct. 7 it is likely 'that the Soviets will produce the longest lint of crim inals if they agree to partici pate -in the commission's work. Fact-Finding Aim The commission primarily will be a fact-finding body, and for various reasons it probably will not have jurisdiction over Hitler, Himmler, Mussolini, Graziana, Tojo and other main criminals. Its main function will be to expose the thousands of under lings, from Nazi storm troopers t - Japanese colonels, who have been crushing humanity in the wake of the Axis armies which almost swept the world. The court, whose composition has not yet been announced but which may already bo in ses sion, will indict the countless little men whose crimes began when Germany attacked Poland. The various governments-in-exile whose nationals have been affected by the atrocities will submit their evidence as In a preliminary police court hear ing, and wherever possible, the commission will identify the persons against whom it believes charges should be brought.

Rarennolt (United Press Correspondent) American Army Base, Assam India, Oct. 23 (U.R) In a jungle operating room,' insects crawled over the patient s body while he was under the knife The appendix was gangrenous and pneumonia followed the operation, but the soldier lived. He . is Pvt. George T. Sum mers, 25, of New York. The surgeon was Capt. Michael R. Mazzei, 30, of Staten Island, New York. Summers was at an isolated army jungle outpost. One day the medical orderly there, Pvt. Pilar Valdez, 30, of Robstown, Tex., radioed this base: "Two days ago patient started chills. Fever up to 104." Believed Malaria Mazzei checked the symptoms by radio and figured it was malaria. But 36 hours later Valdez radioed that Summers no longer responded to treatment. . At the jungle outpost, on a mountain, Corp. Verl L. Beough Charles H. Bourne, 24, Staten Island, and Pvt. Irving G. Van Osdal, 25, Indianapolis, Ind., picked out eight Naga native tribesmen to help them. They loaded . Summers on a stretcher and started down the mountain. At the base, Mazzei, two sur gical assistants, Sgt. Fred J. Brown, 25, California, Pa., and Sgt. Vincent Paesano, 28, Pitts burgh, Pa., and a driver, Corp. John J. Healy, 23, Jackson, Cal., loaded a stretcher, bedding and medical equipment into a car and headed Into the jungle. "After driving 70 miles up what had once been a road, we started up a slippery jungle trail with some Indians to carry our equipment," Mazzei said, Hike All Day They hiked all day into the night, crawling through vines. stopping now and then to pick leeches off their legs. They finally found a place where they thought they could set up an operating theater the cabin of a Scotsman who ran a mine. Late in the afternoon the next day Summers was brought In. "I found that he had not only a ruptured gangrenous appendix with local peritonitis but also early pneumonia," Mazzei said. "The case was a sight. We gave him a spinal anesthetic and made the incision." Mazzei worked until mid night. The light, attracted hordes of flying insects. Mos quito netting was useless. "They'd climb over the pati ent, swarm under the light and try to get into the wound," Mazzei said. There was no rubber tubing to drain the wound so they im provised one with the finger of a rubber glove stuffed with gauze. Their retractors for keeping the incision open had been lost in the trek through the Jungle. Dig Out Appendix "We had to hold the wound open with our fingers while we swabbed it and dug out the ap pendix," Mazzei said. Mazzei put Summers on a fluid diet though using army rations, and on sulfa drugs. For four days they fought for bis life In the sweltering jungle heat. Then he began to im prove. "After that he was a regular case and we carried him on down to the base here," Mazzei said. "He's in rest camp now recuperating.
