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-

By Edward W. 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.

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.
