Ue Mail Tribune. Waal AOe,
Yes or No? r
To be or net to be to have compulsory military
training in this country after the war, or not to have
it? That promises to De a miDject ior rougn ana
tumble debate for some time, with very eminent au
thority on both sides.
President Roosevelt has endorsed a year of com
pulsory military training for all youth in the pest
war period.
On Tuesday of this week however, twelve Ameri
can college presidents, headed by such eminent edu
cators and publicists as Presidents Sproul of Cali
fornia, Tressider of Stanford and Conant of Harvard
urged the President to abandon such a program, as
"both unwise and dangerous." We quote :
1. It Is not related to the successful prosecution of the
war.
2. Its adoption would be a revolutionary change in '
fundamental American policies, a move that would be
"extremely unwise and even dangerous" until the postwar
international situation Is clarified.
3. Peacetime training is only one phase of a rounded
defense program and "to adopt it under the stress of war
and have it prove unwise might Jeopardize an intelligent
and long-run defense program."
4. It Is impossible to "determine intelligently" the ex
tent of defense measures that will be needed after the war,
since "no one can foresee the international situation when
the war is over."
5. "The people are fighting the war with high hope
- it will eventuate in an enduring peace. If congress should
now prescribe a year of compulsory military training,, the
action together with the necessary accompanying measures
for mobilizing industry and science would be interpreted
as meaning that we must continue to live for an indefi
nite period In an armed camp." '
As if in rebuttal for his chief, Mr. Harry Hopkins
in the March "American" comes out, not only for
compulsory military service but for what he calls a
"perpetual allied army of occupation in Germany
and Japan, to prevent these Axis countries from re
arming and again seeking to conquer the world."
If this is necessary then why should President
Roosevelt bother about a new post-war League to
maintain world peace ?If peace can only be assured
by keeping armies of occupation in the enemy coun
tries fgr an indefinite period then a League to en
force peace would be superfluous surely BOTH
programs would not be needed, or feasible. .
e e . . , i
WELL, all this hulabaloo for compulsory military
training, as we view it, comes under the head
ing of one of our favorite topics the American pas
sion for extremes.
Only three or four years ago this country was the
most pacifist large nation in the world. The one issue
upon which there was practically no disagreement
was that of keeping out of war keeping out at any
cost. Those who deny this and were alive four years
ago should have their heads examined the truth of
the statement is written all over the front pages of
the American press and the records of the national
congress.
POM that extreme the American people have now
switched over to another and the exact opposite.
Not only have we close to 10,000,000 men fighting in
foreign lands, but we want at least the President
of the United States and his alter ego want not
only the perpetuation of a huge army and huge navy,
but compulsory military service ana our sumieia
placed on guard in foreign lands in PERPETUITY I
Whewww that is certainly some order!
True to type, however, the ever emotional and im
pulsive Uncle Sam will after this war almost inevit
ably switch back again to the other extreme and
eventually be approximately where he started from.
"We, the people," will then insist upon withdraw
ing our troops from Germany, Japan and all other
foreign lands; we will insist upon the reduction of
armaments, including our own, and we win jnui
imitate the "medieval example" of decadent Europe
and make universal and compulsory military service
the law of the land. ' !

ENGINEER TELLS
OF PROPOSITION
FOR IIS. GOODS
'
Solons Hear Story of 'Deal'
Offered Federal Employe
For Favorable Report.
By Frederick C. Othman
United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 1 (U.R)
John van Ginhoven, a little guy
with larylngltis, croaked his
story Into a senatorial micro
phone.
Chairman James Mead of the
War Investigating Committee
tossed him a cough drop, but it
didn't sem to help. Everybody
in the room strained to hear
him, including Jacob Goldberg,
a New York auctioneer whose
face became scarlet and stayed
that color the rest of the after
noon. Tells His Story '
: I'll simply introduce John,
a $5,600-a-year engineer for the
government's defense plant
corp., and let him tell his tale
In his own words. He'd gone to
Cleveland, O . to look over a
supply of surplus materials that
the DPC was getting ready to
sell, and there he met Goldberg
and a Mr. Moss. From now on,
John does the talking:
"I went upstairs in the Hotel
Clevelander to see Jake Gold
berg and this Mr. Moss. On the
dresser were two bottles, one of
liquor. The other might have
been gingerale. (Chairman Mead
asked if there was any ice.)
"There also was a pitcher of
ice. Yes, I had something to
drink. I had gingerale. We had
a very pleasant conversation.
Goldberg said our men were
doing a marvelous Job. Then he
told how he had been a liquida
tor for years; how, when nobody
else could sell thousands of army
bugles after the last war, he had
advertised them in Boy Scout
magazines and sold them all.
Talks Big Money
"Sandwiches were brought up.
and coffee Goldberg sent a suit
of clothes down to be pressed
and we got to talking about fam
ilies and children. Goldberg said
the war soon would be over, and
there would be big money for
engineers like me. I said I hoped
so. because I wanted to buy a
little farm to raise my children.
He said if I wanted a mortgage
maybe he could arrange It. Moss
said iirkb was a very smart iei-
low. I said X guessed I wouldn't
take advantage of that offer.
"Then we got to talking about
how his organization could liqui
date our surplus materials. Gold
berg said he needed men to se
lect the material. He said a fel
low like me didn't make much
money
Proposition Legal
"I smiled benevolently. He
said his proposition was strictly
legal. He said he would take a
number of us on his payroll. He
said we should be worth ?15,
000 or $20,000 a year. His pur
pose was that I would recom
mend that his company take
over these materials. I would
quit The Defense Plant Corp.
and then go on his payroll.
He said he would train us
He said for me to remember that
this was a big thing; that It would
amount to billions. He also said
to remember that I was In
position to lay stones in his way
He said I could report for him
or report against him. He said he
could take.cnre of me in a nice
way, or in a nasty way. I became
very much concerned.
Adverse Report -
That about covers Van Gin
hoven's testimony, except that
he went to headquarters and
urged his bosses not to have any
dealings with Goldberg. Later
on. he said, he was amazed to
learn that Goldberg was auction
ing off federal properties.
Goldberg, a portly citizen with
white hair and black eyebrows
squirmed on a round-bottom
chair. His face, ears and necK
soon turned red and he still was
leaning forward to catch the
testimony, when Chairman Mead
recessed the hearing for the day
I asked Goldberg whether he
cared to comment. H .said, un-
smilingly, that he did not. The
hearing will continue. Goldberg
will get his chance to testuy.

Playing Favorites
To the Editor: In my survey
of the cigaret situation I have
observed that there are plenty
of cigarets, but like a lot of other
Items, they are for a (chosen)
few.
I have walked in several
stores and asked for cigarets
right after some other person
was seen buying them and was
told, we only sell them to reg
ular customers.
Or they say they don't have
any and turn around and get
them from under the counter or
In back of the store for certain
people.
There Isn't a grocery store or
drug store in Medford that I
have not patronized in the past
ten years. But they don t Know
me if I ask for cigarets.
They make people feel guilty
to even ask for them. "Share
and share alike" doesn't seem to
fit into the cigaret situation.
Certainly, everyone wants the
soldiers to have tneir cigareis,
but if they are so badly needed
by soldiers, why do some folks
at home receive as many as five
cartons of cigarets from a sol
dier. It doesn't make sense to me,
why can one person buy them
and not another?
Some stores have bacon, but
only for their friends or regular
customers. They have oacon nia
den like they have cigarets and
chocolate bars hidden.

ORGANIZE IZAAK
WALTON LEAGUE
The Jackson county chapter of
the Izaak Walton league was
organized at a meeting attended
by 73 members at the Knights
of Pythias hall last night.
The local chapter is affiliated
with the national organization
and the Oregon state chapter
and will cooperate with the Ore
gon state game commission in
opposition to high dams on popu
lar angling and recreational
streams and the continued
stream pollution in the state. -Many
Attend
Attending the meeting were
John Ebinger, president; Ken
neth McLeod, secretary, and Al
bert Harris, director, of the
Klamath Falls chapter of the
league, and E. S. Hughes, presi
dent; "Slim" Bartlett, vice pres
ident; Bruce Terrell, secretary;
Mrs. L. Smith, treasurer; Allan
Wllcoxson, past-president; Ex
Senator Wipperman and 24 oth
er members of the Grants Pass
chapter. .
Addressing the meeting were
Presidents Ebinger and Hughes
and . State Game Commissioner
Kenneth G. Denman, represent
ing the commission, all of whom
gave outlines of what may be
expected on a number of Oregon
streams if all the proposed gov
ernment plans for damming of
streams and diversion of water
and power plant construction
are carried out.
Most Drastic
Among the most drastic was
said to be the contemplated di
version of the Klamath river at
a. point near Keno to take the
river through a series of canals
and a tunnel through the moun
tains, delivering it into the Pitt
river in California. There it
would flow into the Sacramento
for storage behind the Shasta
dam, where the government is
short of water to come up to
the reclamation bureau's esti
mates before the dam's construc
tion. ' Commissioner Denman gave a
brief outline of the proposals
for high dams on Rogue river
and the results that would be
achieved, stating that the game
commission knew from exper
ience on other similar projects
mat ail migratory fish runs
would be destroyed by the plan.
Rogue River
Pointing out that Rogue river
was valuable not only as a world
famous angling stream, but also
for the many miles of river
frontage that would be destroy
ed for outdoor recreational use,
he said the proposed dams would
submerge all the property from
near Shady Cove to a point well
above the mouth of , Big Butte
ureeK.
He said the oroDosed rerout
ing of the Crater Lake hiehwav
would prevent travellers from
seeing Rogue river between Gold
Hill and a point near Flounce
Kock.
Stressing the point that the
game commission and conserva
tionlsts had no desire to deprive
agriculture of securing irriga
tion water, -Denman pointed out
the greater value of the recrea
ttunal advantages from the
Rogue river, and suggested some
of the other plans of the bureau
of reclamation for water from
smaller reservoirs constructed in
other locations be used.

PENNY-PINCHING
Washington, Feb. 1 U.R) .' -
Rep. John D Dingell, D Mich.,
today urged the house to insist
that the war department issue
more distinctive discharge but
ton "worthy of the patriotism,
valor and sacrifice" of the coun
try's veterans. . - -
He accused the war depart
ment of penny-pinching in issu
ing to veterans of World War n
buttons which he described as
"a cheap plastic Imitation of
what ought to be a real mark of
distinction."
Dingell reminded his listen- V
ers that beneath a toil-greased
shirt, may be found the indelible
scar of a German or Jap bayonet
or bullet.
. Although the button was in
tended to protect returning serv
icemen and women from jibes, lt
achieves Just the opposite effect,
he continued. ,
"The reasons are obvious,"
Dingell said, "the discharge but
ton is too small, indistinctive and
inexcusably cheap. Instead- of
being made of bronze or other
suitable metal,' it is a gilded
plastic mould, about on par with
products heretofore made in
Japan."
