YES) (Oakland Tribune) "Mr. Sidney HI 11 man's statement to congressional committee concerning h I s C.I.O.-P.A.C.-N.C.P.A.C. com mlttce was so soft-spoken that one might draw the conclu sion that a campaign contri bution would not melt In his mouth. He asserted that his dual organization is not a po litical party. Horrors, no, it is non-partisan and educa tional." . Salem has taken preliminary steps for a state fair next year.

(Ad in Pendleton East Oreonnlnn Sept. 1, 1394.) The early set tlers did not always emerge from the little end of the horn. Gov. Di woy of New York on his enmpaifm tour will make 50 speeches, via stump and radio. This will bring out the 1940 charge, "the republican candi date Is talking too much." HEAP FIREWATER!

The cause of this was that I'eo was fined by Re corder Lash Monday, Just any other would be finer. The amount was $10, about double what had been assessed hereto fore. Peo also remarked that he proposes o write to Washington, D. C. and have the law changed. Before this when he got drunk he was not troubled so much, and consequently he desires to return to the old regime." (50 Yrs. Ago col. Pendleton East Oregonian). Oh stall Trlbunt Wtnt Ada, How About Camp White? Washington, D. C, Sept. 6. (Special). The War Dept. advises Camp White has been placed on caretaker or Inactive status, but official order provides that Camp White hospital be maintained so that hospital facilities may be ready for use at any time on 30 days notice. The War Department further advises that the Camp will not be officially declared "surplus" until official survey of Its post-war uses for training has been determined. (Signed) Guy Cordon, U. S. Senator. The above wire from Senator Cordon removes all doubt that Camp White is now on a caretaker basis, a moot question for several weeks as the personnel at the camp has been steadily decreased. Some re ports have been to the effect the camp would be aban doned entirely and all equipment and buildings ship ped out; others that in a few weeks more units would be moved in for final training or reassignment. It appears from the above neither report is correct, either training or reassignment will be out entirely under a caretaker basis; while if the entire camp including the hospital were to be abandoned, both would be officially designated as "surplus". a a TPHE above was in answer to a wire from the Mail Tribune in an effort to learn definitely what the present status of Camp White and the hospital are. It appears the hospital will be retained for the dur ation at least and may be opened up at any time if conditions render same status of the rest of the camp will not be known until the results of the official survey have been announced. "THIS announcement will at least eliminate further uncertainty and speculation, as far as any return of the camp to the status quo ante is concerned. Such a return is simply out. There will be disappointment in many quarters, but after all with the war in Europe practically over and the war in the Far East far ahead of schedule such a situation was only to be expected. Meanwhile there is good reason to believe that the hospital unit at the camp will eventually be used for some purpose, and will not be torn down and shipped out as some reports have maintained. Is Hitler Suing for Peace? The report that Herr von Papen, ex-Nazi envoy to Turkey and Dr. Funk, are in Lisbon discussing terms of peace with allied representatives may not be true. But it is fairly certain that before Germany capitu lates, as was the case with Italy, there will be such preliminary discussions, and the German representa tives in all likelihood will be from the Funk-von Papen group. For while these two men have apparently been loyal representatives of the Hitler government, they are not Hitler or Nazi types. They are educated men sophisticated and shrewd. Hitler would certainly not be foolhardy enough to send any of his brass-knuckle gangsters on such a mission, for he would wish to get the best terms possible. Von Papen and Dr. Funk, would talk the allied language diplomatically at least, and probably do as well as any pair available in the Third Reich. RUT that will be nothing to boast about as far as " Nazi Germany is concerned. The conditions as was true with Fascist Italy will be tough, very, very tough. Hitler and his gang will fare no better than Musso lini and his and in all probability the former will not have any aimed pal to rescue him as the latter did. DUT in spite of all this talk about unconditional ' surrender, when Nazi Germany does surrender, there WILL be conditions all right. And undoubtedly they will be determined before the papers are signed not "after how could it be otherwise? Hitler Germany will have no more to say about them than Mussolini-Italy had, but there will be a pre-peace. understanding in writing, as a practical matter it could hardly be otherwise. And the preliminaries will probably be decided upon in some such convenient place as Lisbon, as the Italian terms were decided upon in North Africa. Even so we would put down this Funk-von Papen rumor, as just another one of the many phony reports, hovering around in the air, rather like vultures soar ing above, with their eyes on the dying beast beneath. Retribution Yes, it's a cruel fate facing Germany. But only what Nazi Gpmi.mv has hrmnrhr nn Vinrenlf Tn foot I here, we think, is a classic JllrulV-t. The country that deliberately decided to live by the sword, in a world of peace, now must follow the biblical injunction, and die by it. The country that declared might to be right, now must suffer from a superior might that IS right The country whose government accepted the Nietzsche doctrine of anti-Christ, that broke every moral law of God and man, in its mad pursuit for power, through force, now stripped of power, forced tl its Wnnne in fnoi nnA Vti-n.i.sM. .., .,t.. . . .. j I .... ....v...u ... iiiiu iiunui, villi llllll PUUUt" and sanctuary only in a revival of the faith it desecrated and renounced. The defeat of Gemianv will as a great military victory, which will be true but we believe ultimately it will be seen as a far greater moral victory.

(U.R) The strange spectacle of Nazi forces in disorderly flight In the west while putting up a terrific fight against Russia in the east was attributed today to German fear of Russian vengeance for un counted atrocities In the Soviet Union. Both allied and Russian obser vers believed Germany would rather lose in the west to the Americans and British than In the east to Russia. The Germans never attempted to bring up reinforcements to delay the allies In France, al though they were continually re plenishing their hard pressed forces through Poland where they lost as many as 1,000 tanks In some weeks. A German army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Kurt Dittmar, in his weekly broadcast to the German people, attributed the collapse in France to the lack of reserves and the material superiority of allied forces. Dittmar's explanation was in contrast to the fact that the Germans have been able to find resources to hold the Russians in Poland and on the borders of East Prussia. This situation of letting one front fall while bolstering an other was emphasized by one Russian observer. He said that while the Germans were collaps ing at Avranches, in Normandy, leading to the Falaise encircle ment in one of the most com plete defeats of the wehrmacht's history, they were moving 12 full tank divisions to the War saw area. Some observers believe Adolf Hitler has hopes of effecting a stalemate along the Siegfried line, but if this fails the war will be over and the Anglo Americans can pour through Germany. They think lt likely that the Germans will not quit on the Russian front until the British and Americans complete the occupation of Germany. One Russian observer said he thought the Germans were wrong if they are basing any hope for the future on this plan. AH the world knows Ger manys' record in Russia. Mil lions of Russians have been tor tured and slaughtered indiscrim inately or driven to slave labor in Germany. "Russia will not forget Lub lin's charnel house, or Baby Yar's thousands of corpses or the decimation of numbers of villages, towns and even cities." Allied- observers took the same view that Germany was afraid of Russian occupation. ' "No one can safely predict what steps Stalin will take." one Billed snurrA cilrl "avaa-. Ik., I ...

NOTED METHODIST CRUSADER, FOE OF AL SMITH, PASSES Chicago, Sept. 6 U.R) Bish op James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist church, vigorous dry crusader during the prohibition era, died today at Wesley Memo rial hospital. Bishop Cannon, of Virginia, was 79. He died at 6 a. m., of a heart ailment. He had entered the hospital last Friday. Bishop Cannon's career reached Its peak in 1928, when he was believed to be primarily responsible for the shift of the Democratic votes of the "solid south" In favor of Herbert Hoo ver, thus bringing about the de feat of Alfred E. Smith, wet Democratic presidential candi date. He was born Nov. 13, 1864, at Salisbury, Md. He was gradu ated from Randolph Macon col lege in 1884 and attended Prince ton Theological seminary. He be gan his religious career In 1888 on his 24th birthday. Twenty years later he was elected bishop. Bishop Cannon rose from com parative obscurity to national renown through wide publicity given to senatorial investiga tions Into his activities as chair man of the Virginia anti-Smith committee. In 1928 he was called by the Steiwer committee to ex plain how he disposed of a $65, 300 contribution received from Edwin C. Jameson, New York capitalist. Cannon accounted for only $17,000, but he was exon erated. EXHIBITION HERE Recovered from a dark and hidden section of Colorado's Grand Canyon where they and their progenitors had lived more than 100 years, a group of tiny horses having an average height of two feet and weighing less than 100 pounds Is being shown In Medford today, Thursday and Friday from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m., at the former Adrienne location on North Central avenue, just north of the United States Na tional Bank. Ernest W. Rltter, who Is dis playing the midget animals, spent several years painting scenic views In the Grand Can yo narea. He frequently heard an Indian legend about a herd of horses that was driven into the canyon in the early 1800's by warring Indians. Later, a sec tion of cliff broke off, trapping the animals within. Inbreeding and starvation over a number of horse generations caused the animals to diminish in size, according to Ritter, who led an exploration party Into the canyon In 1940 and brought out 11 of the 50 tiny horses found. Their diet consisted of cactus, and thev could not at first see the light. Daily Weather Report Foreratt. Medford and vicinity: Clear tonight nd Thursday. Slightly cooler Thurs day.

COCKTAIL LOUNGE -DANCING- Home Cooked Dinner and Private Parties by Appointment Phone Trail 1404 for Reservations LOIR TAMER GETS HEAVY CUT Washington, Sept. 6 (U.R) Congress was offered another comprehensive plan today for one of its biggest 1945 problems, the drafting of a tax law for the postwar period. The new proposal came from the research committee of the committee for economic devel opment, which suggested a tax structure calculated to raise be tween $17,100,000,000 and $19, 500,000,000 after the war. While the CED plan would cut all wartime levies, it would offer the greatest proportionate reductions to the lowest brack et taxpayer, who would be re lieved of the present three per cent normal tax, and to the up per bracket income recipients and the corporations. , The plan would reduce per sonal taxes on a net Income of $2,000 (after deductions but be fore exemptions) for a couple with two dependents from the present levy of $45 to nothing, on $4,000 from $505 to $360, on $10,000 from $2,245 to $1, 800 and on $1,000,000 from $900,000 to $597,070. The CED proposal was the third postwar tax plan, offered by a business group this sum mer. IN NEVADA VOTE Reno, Nev., Sept. 6. (U.R) U. S. Senator Patrick A. (Pat) McCarran tonight apparently had won his third and hardest fight for the Democratic nomi nation, holding a growing lead over Lt. Gov. Vail Pittman, Ely publisher. With only 34 scattered pre cincts in. the state yet to report McCarran's lead was nearing the 1000 mark. Returns from the missing pre cincts, observers said, could not change the ultimate result. Throughout the campaign, one of the most hectic in Nevada his tory, Pittman, younger brother of Nevada's late Senator Key Pitmtan, hammered relentlessly at McCarran's record as an as serted pre-Pearl Harbor (sola-1 tionist. He also attacked Mc Carran's record for alleged non. support of the Roosevelt admin istration. Adm.
