NATION EXPECTS
THREE QUALITIES,
GRADUATES TOLD
Bishop Bruce Baxter Ad
dresses Graduating Class
Of Medford High School.
Reason, resourcefulness and
responsibility are three qualities
which this nation expects of its
educated peoples, Bishop Bruce
Baxter, Portland, Methodist
church head, told members of
the 1945 graduating class of
Medford senior high school
Thursday night when the tradi
tional ceremonies were held at
the auditorium. The class num
bered 181 graduates, some of
whom are already in the armed
services and were unable to be
present.
Discussing reason. Bishop Bax
ter said two of the problems to
which the class members must
appy their reasoning powers are
how the world may attain inter
national peace and how to solve
the alarming increase of juvenile
delinquency. "Peace this time
must be real, and not a mere
moratorium between wars," he
aid, "or the next war will bring
annihilation of civilizations."
Resourcefulness, the Bishop
aid, should not only include
ways to meet physical problems,
but "inner resources" and he
quoted Madame Chiang Kai
Shek who once said "There is a
limit to physical endurance but
there is no limit to spiritual re
sourcefulness." Standards Needed
Educated people of America
must maintain high .standards,
the speaker said in discussing
responsibility, and added that
they should "not just talk, but
do something." He said the prob
lem of race prejudices was one
of this nation's main pieces of
"unfinished business" and in
closing urged the class members
to remember that religion brings
a vital, sustaining influence to
life which nothing else supplies.

Truman In Message On Status Of War
Calls For Increase In National Efforts
Washington, June 1 (U.PJ
President Truman today called
for renewed national effort in
uie war against japan.
He said the American force to
be used there would be more
than double the size of the pres
ent army in the Pacific. This ap
parently meant that any army
of nearly 4,000,000 will be used
to subdue Japan.
He threatened Japan with a
steadily-increasing air war and
urged Japanese civilians to leave
their cities "if they wish to save
their lives."
Appeal To All
- Mr. Truman set forth his views
in a 9,000-word special message
to congress on the status of the
war. It was an appeal not only
to congress but to all of the na
tion against any letdown from a
false sense of feeling that the job
is just about done.
While telling in great detail of
elaborate plans for intensifying

today said he has sent an urgent
request to the War Production
Board to lift directive L-208.
He also notified the Chamber of
Commerce that he will keep
them advised on developments.
Lifting of WPB directive
L-208 would bring about early
resumption in mining in - this
area. In a wire to Senator Cor

taken from miners and new. ma
chinery should be obtainable
where Tabor is available, such
as this area. . ':'"-;

the war against Japan, the Presi
dent noted that the strength of
the army would be reduced from
8,300,000 to 6,968,000 in the
next year, making it possible to
restore a total of 2,000,000 offi
cers and men to their homes. He
pointed out though that this
would be possible only by main
taining selective calls at a level
substantially higher than re
quired merely for combat re
placements. -. i
"By maintaining our army at
this size," he told congress, "we
shall be able to more than dou
ble the force we now have in the
Pacific and hurl against the Jap
anese an overseas force larger
than the 3,500,000 men who
united with our allies to crush
the Wehrmacht and the Luft
waffe." Policy Told
The President said our mili
tary policy for the defeat of
Japan calls for:
1. Pinning down the Japanese
forces where they now are and
keeping them divided, so they
can be destroyed piece by piece."
2. "Concentrating overwhelm
ing power on each segment
which we attack."
3. "Using ships, aircraft, ar
mor, artillery and other material
in massive concentrations to gain
victory with the smallest possi
ble loss of life." .
4. "Applying relentless and
Increasing pressure to the enemy,
by sea, air and on the land, so
that he cannot rest, reorganize or
regroup his' battered forces or
dwindling supplies to meet our
next attack."
"If the Japanese insist on con

point of reason,'.' he told con

the same destruction as Ger
many. . '''.- . -

While describing this nation as
"now at the peak of its military
strength," the President sobered
any optimism which might be
attached to his report by an
nouncing "we have not yet come

He estimated the current
strength of the Japanese air

OF
Building Is Over-crowded,
Equipment Replacement,
Repair; $102,000 Needed
(Editor's notet Here is the sec
ond article in a series to be pub
lished before the June 12 special
city election, in order to acquaint
Medford residents with the proj
ects for which they are being
asked to vote funds.)
Enlargement and general re
pair and renovating of the pres
ent Medford public library must
be undertaken in the immediate
future or the service offered will
fall far below the standards
maintained by most cities of a
comparable size, a report sub
mitted by the library board to
the city council last winter
shows. The report states that the
building is now so overcrowded
it is impossible to add needed
new volumes without discarding
an equal number of older .vol
umes, and that the heating sys
tem, lighting system, shelves, ta
bles and other equipment are
badly in need of replacement or
major repairs.
One of the projects covered in
the special city bond election set
for June 12 provides for enlarge
ment and repair of the library
building and purchase of new
equipment at an approximate
cost of $102,000.
Short of Books
Using figures supplied by the
American Library association,
the board members compiled a
report showing that the average
number of books per capita now
in the library is about one-half
of the number recommended for
the population served. It is also
noted that whila (1 per capita
per year is considered the mini
mum figure required to purchase
an average number of books for
the population served and to
keep them in condition, the
budget for the Medford library
at present is but 60 cents per cap
ita per year. '
A survey of 20 cities located in
various parts of the nation shows
that library cost per capita some
times runs as high as $17, many
average from $3.50 to $8 or $10
while Medford i per capita cost
of 67 cents is one on the lowest
listed.
Would Add Space
The proposed addition would
add 13,092 square feet to the
floor space of the library build
ing and make it about three
times its present size. Plans call
for an addition to the west with
a 14-foot frontage and 90-feet
depth along Oakdale avenue.
The architecture would conform
to that of the present building
and plantings would be re
arranged to previde a pleasing
background for the structure.
The interior would be rebuilt to
provide better service for pa
trons and better working condi
tions for the staff and the heat
ing and lighting systems would
be modernized.
Members of the board, J. C.
Boyle, chairman, Otto Frohn-
mayer, Mrs. W. E. Lantis, Mrs.
Frances Cochran and Mrs. E. B.
Pickcl, in the report stated that
the present library staff should
be hfghly complimented for be
ing able to continue any kind of
reasonably satisfactory library
service under the present unsat
isfactory conditions,

three greatest cities lay scorched
by superfortress fire bombs to
day as the B-29's followed up
their demolition of Tokyo and
Yokohama by starting raging
conflagrations In Osaka, Japan's
greatest industrial center, with
a 3,200-ton Incendiary attack.
Returning airmen reported
that smoke from burning Osaka
billowed five miles into the air
and radio Tokyo admitted flames
still were scourging the city
many hours after the bombers
had left.
Yokohama Hard Hit
Pilot reports indicated Osaka
had suffered the same fate as
the port and industrial center of
Yokohama, attacked Tuesday. '
Intelligence reports of 21st
bomber command revealed to
day that nearly nine square
miles of Yokohama have been
burned or damaged just under
seven square miles being attrib
uted to the Tuesday attack.
Details of the huge fires
which raged in Tokyo last week
destroying, by Japanese ad
mission, the bulk of the central
city district were still being re
ported by Tokyo radio.
Tokyo said the central govern
ment would stay on in Tokyo
even if the whole metropolis it
reduced to ashes.
Tokyo also revealed that the
homes of the two greatest indus
trial and financial families in
Japan, the Mitsui and Mitsu
bishi, had been burned down in
the attacks. It added with possi
