EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, August 29. 1944 OF FR'S POWER ASKED BY ALF M. L Continuance of Same Man In White House Held Main Issue. Topeka,, Kans., Aug. 29. (U.R) Alf M. Landon, 1936 Republi can presidential nominee, last niliht urged abolition of govern mental war emergency powers "at the earliest possible mo ment" and the election of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey as president. "ThB tpmntation Is great, whatever party is in power, to continue those vast powers," he told Kansas Young Republican leaders. "It is always easy too easy from the best motives to forget authorized procedure for a short cut to immediate prob lems." Landon advocated the election nf Dewey "to restore before it is too late our 150-year-old rule of passing the executive office iiround." He said the issue of the elec tion is not only the continuation of the same party in power, but of the same chief executive, who seeks another term a total of 16 years as president. "Laying aside all questions as to the job he has done, I submit to the intelligent and calm think ing Americans that it will only be natural for any man, con fronted with the great problems if domestic and world recon struction, to desire to hold on 1o the established controls of the lives of all Americans," he said. Mr. and Mrs. George V. Holz Kang of Park street left early Monday morning for Eugene having been called there by the sudden death Sunday afternoon of Mrs. Holzgang's brother-in-law, Edwin E. Reiser, 129 N. Lawrence street, Eugene. Mr. Reiser was drowned In the Wllla mctto river while rescuing his 11-year-old son, Wayne, who had slipped and fallen Into tho water. The child was saved.

Bachcldcr of Portland, formerly of Mcd ford, has many friends In this city who will be grieved to learn of the tragedy which has bcfullcn her.

R. Hussa, vice-president, announced here today. Hussa said that prewar ship ments of lumber between Wash ington and Oregon ports to points In California averaged about 1,000,000,000 board feet a year. Before the war there were about 90 ships available for the trade, however, the majority wore out dated wood - constructed steam schooners. The balance of the craft were steel constructed craft, converted to the lumber trade. Of the entire prewar fleet, about 12 vessels remain in opera tion. Hussa, who designed the new vessels, said they would be constructed with a carrying capacity of more than 2,500,000 board feet coastwise storage and much In excess that for offshore storage. He pointed out that few receiving points have facilities for storing large quantities of lumber at one time, and the de lay caused In assembling and discharging cargoes of great amount has been prohibitive In the past. The freighter will have a draft of 18 feet, and is designed with out 'tween decks. The greatest expense in loading results from "heading up" the holds and the cheapest cargo to handle is from the deck load. Hussa said the new craft carrys the house at the stern, which permits the stowage of tho deck cargo in one piece, eliminating much expense. There are three large holds. The hatches are largo enough to permit adequate stowage prob lems. Dooms are long. There are no hold stanchions. To date, four of the vessels havo been contracted for. Ways at Albina now are being pre pared for building of tho new croft. TOKYO PREPARES FOR HEAVY RAID By United Pron Tho Tokyo radio warned the Japanese peoplo today that the war Is "steadily approaching the homclond" as Allied bombers were revealed to have struck new blows from the Kurilcs In the northern empire to the Dutch East Indies.
