E 10-LEASE Washington, May 15 (U.R) A government official who re cently visited Europe told a house agriculture subcommittee today that European nations overestimated their lend-lease requirements in order to build up their supplies for postwar civilian use. "They all did it France, the United Kingdom and Russia especially," he said. "At least, that'll what the present facts indicate." The official asked that his name and position be kept con fidently '. He said he was speak ing a. a private citizen who had recently visited Europe, and did not want to identify his depart ment with his statement. He tes tified at the opening of a three day conference of cotton pro- IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA vs. 75 Bags, more or less, each containing 50 pounds FLOUR; 52 Bags, more or less, each con taining 25 pounds FLOUR; and ioo Bags, more or less, each con taining 50 pounds FLOUR: PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on the 9th day of May, 1945, 4 Bags each contain ing 50 pounds FLOUR, 5 Bags each containing 25 pounds FLOUR, and 41 Bags each con taining 50 pounds FLOUR, were arrested and taken into the pos session of and now are in the possession of the United States Marshal for the District of Ore gon, pursuant to a warrant and process duly issued by the Clerk of the United States District uourt for the District of Oregon, in a suit for condemnation and forfeiture, entitled, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Libel ant, v. 75 Bags, more or less, each containing 50 pounds FLOUR, 52 Bags, more or less, each containing 25 pounds FLOUR, and 285 Bags, more or less, each containing 50 pounds FLOUR, brought under the pro visions of Section 334, Title 21, U.S.C.A., wherein it is sought to have the above-described article of food condemned and forfeited for the following reasons: That on the th day of May, 194'5, the said article of food was ship ped in interstate commerce from Tacoma, Washington, to Med ford, Oregon; that the said ar ticle of food is adulterated with in the purview of Title 21, United States Code, Section 342(a)(3) in that it consists whol ly or in part of a filthy substance by reason of the presence therein of rodent excreta and rodent hairs, and within the purview of Title 21, United States Code, Sec tion 342(a)(4) in that it has been held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth; that all persons claiming any right, title or interest in and to the said article of food, are hereby noti fied to appear on or before the 4th day of June, 1945, in the Federal Court at Portland, Ore gon, to show cause, if any there be, why the same should not be decreed against and forfeited to the United States as adulterated food.

"By overestimating their re quirements," he said, "the French have received enough cotton to last through the first half of 1946. And if they are able to get some more of the short staple variety, there will be American cotton kicking around France for quite some time." F San Francisco, May 15.

Heinz Guderian, Ger many's number one tank expert. said today American and Ger man soldiers should shake hands "just like after a football match." In a plea for soft treatment of Germany, he said the allies "ought not to make the same mistakes as after the last war in not permitting Germany the pos sibility to exist." "It would be difficult not to make these mistakes in the hate born of war," Guderian said in an interview. "The victory cries for indiscriminate punishment of the defeated. "But a soldier after battle soon feels at home with the other sol dier. It's like a football match when you shake hands and wish each other luck. Politicians and businessmen unfortunately feel and act otherwise."

I'iUI TAKEN BY DEATH Salt Lake City, May 15. U.R) Heber Jedediah Grant, first native of Utah to become presi dent of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) church, died last night. He was 88 years old. Although he had long been in poor health, few of Grants' fol lowers were aware of the seri ousness of his illness until a few hours before his death when it was announced he had suffered a relapse. Grant's widow, eight daugh ters and their husbands and two church councillors, J. Reuben Clark, former U. S. ambassador to Mexico, and David O. McKay, were at his bedside. Death was attributed to old age. Grant assumed the presidency Nov. 23, 1918, and in the follow ing 26 years guided the church through the most crucial period of its development in this nation and abroad. In later life, Grant had be come an uncompromising foe of polygamy, although he had em braced it in his youth. Liberated People Gleeful As German Tyrant Taken Away St. Peter's Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands, May 12 (De layed) (U.R) Wildly cheering, singint and dancing townspeople and neighboring farmers today watched a sight they had been waiting to see for five ,long weary years the German garri son commander marched off un der military arrest.

All the Channel islands had been liberated by the small token force which preceded the main body of troops landed to day. It was estimated unoffi cially that some 30,000 German military and naval personnel were in the bag. By Roger W, Babion (Special Correspondence) Babson Park, Mass., May 11. (Special Correspondence). We shall be passing up vast oppor tunities for national advance ment if we now fail to capitalize our recent lessons on how to educate. I mean the lessons which have been taught to us by the new techniques of train ing men and women for war. Public Schools Vs. Military Training It is true that civilian educa tion is aimed at peaceful object ives. As commonly practised, the most popular courses are the socalled "outside activities", although most of them are non educational. I refer to jitter bugging, juke-boxing and those graver pastimes which may not be immoral, but surely are a facsimile thereof. In military training, the purpose is "How to win and come back alive". Nevertheless, the two educations (civilian and military) can be alike in attitude, even if unlike in subject matter. The famed super-speed and ultra-efficiency of military train ing are not to be explained by mere mechanical methods alone. Stroboscopic or slow-motion pic- Ltures,-models in miniature, high- pressure coaching, pocket-size texts, these modern boosters are worthy of attention by every school committee. The inner dif ference, however, which puts army and navy training long miles ahead of our house-drawn public schools is the superior build-up of educational attitude. Raising Mental Age Wartime Lesson In the schooling of the armed forces, both trainers and train ees are consciously dealing in life or death. However immature in years, the servicemen are quick to feel the adult attitude of those who learn their lessons "under live ammunition." This "adult attitude", this precocity of maturity, is what makes mili ary instruction click and tick. Our public schools should dupli cate, in peacetime, this wartime BIRTHS SILVERBERG To Captain and Mrs. I Cargill Court, May 15, 1945, a girl, Elizabeth Louise, five pounds, at Community hospital.

When we extend the range of education to cover maturity, we automatically increase the pow er of education and tap its un explored and undreamed possi bilities. The surest way to raise the standard of living and true security is to raise the average "mental age" of the population. Hence, another way to raise this average mental age is to encour age adult education. This re quires supplementing our pres ent public school system with new adult educational systems. School System Needs Reformation Our school system in Its juve nile branches offers alluring possibilities of . refo r m a 1 1 o n. Speaking brutally, but realisti cally, most of today's schools under the influence of hardhead ed politicians, softheaded senti mentalists and emptyheaded par ents are a mess. That the school certificates of graduates are traditionally engrossed on the skin of the sheep seems grimly fitting when we look up the I.Q. of this self-regimented animal! Yet, unfortunate is the fate of those of us who seek to reform the schools. The prospective con traversy, resistance, obstruction and reaction are shocking to be hold. The possibilities of reform are alluring, but the path of re form is appalling. It may be better to leave the schoolmen to stew in their own juice for awhile longer and turn attention to development of adult educa tion. But I will say more about Adult Education next week. Importance Of Adult Education In countless camps all over the world, it has been demon strated that boys and girls be come men and women most promptly and most surely when the mark of an educated man or woman is not a diploma but a dog-tag. I foresee that my real ism will shock the sentimental ists, but the statement stands. Yes, the double failure of the antiquated public school system Is that It results In delayed ma turity of the virtues,- while prompting precocity in the vices. If it is hopeless to re-organize the schools, there is high hope to organize Adult Education. It could, it might. It may become America's outstanding contribu tion to world security. Surely, we can educate for life as effici ently as we educate for death.
