Dwight D. Eisenhower wants to teach the German peo ple that "crime doesn't pay. He wants to do it by punishing those responsible for war crimes. not the German people as a whole. In measured words the five- star general sounded the theme of this country s participation in the military occupation of Germany. "You can t build peace on hate or with a club," he declared. Punish Criminals "You must find the war crim inals and all must be punished. That's the only way I know to teach them that crime doesn't pay." Eisenhower, who is head of oc cupying forces in the American section of Germany, and also U. S. representative on the allied control council in Berlin, made his views clear yesterday follow ing his trumphant return to America. "Ike" grinned his way through a glorious day that included pa rades, a speech before congress and the supreme court, a mam moth civic luncheon, presenta tion by President Truman of a third distinguished service med al, a press conference, visits to General of the Armies John J. Pershing and to wounded vet erans at Walter Reed hospital and a White House buffet sup per. His officers and men went with him to supper and ate tur key, sweet potatoes, ice cream and angel food cake in the dark paneled state dining room. Be fore eating Eisenhower present ed President Truman with a flag bearing the blazing sword insig nia of SHEAF supreme head quarters, allied expeditionary forces. Would Erase Staff It was at the press conference that genial General Ike outlined his views on punishing German criminals but educating the re mainder of Germans to a belief that aggression and brutaility won't get by in a civilized world. As for punishment, Eisen hower said the German general staff which has planned wars since 1806 must be destroyed. Members must be segregated so they cannot pass on their doc trines. Their records must be de stroyed. He said 15,000 German war Friday's Election Important For Institution Improvements Even though there are no can' didates, the special election scheduled June 22 for Oregon voters is one of the most import ant in the history of the state ac cording to state officials. Because of a peculiarity of the state in come tax laws, the special elec tion has been found necessary in order that $10,000,000 which Oregon has on hand can be used to erect new buildings, remodel others and purchase needed equipment for state institutions. In addition to the bill author izing the levy for the state build ing fund, voters will also vote on the measure authorizing a tax on cigarettes for the support of public schools. Need Long Seen For several years past state officials and leading citizens of Oregon have from time to time urged a sweeping program to modernize and enlarge the state hospital, the training schools for boys and girls, the Fairview home for the mentally deficient, the schools for the bund and deaf and other institutions where wards of the state are cared for. In addition educators have stressed that the institutions of higher learning are in great need of new buildings and new eqiup ment and that the greatly in creased enrollment anticipated for the post-war period will make the need ever more acute. With this problem in mind, and looking forward to the post war era when returning service men will be in need of employ ment, the last legislature took steps to put into effect the build ing program long deemed neces sary. The state tax commission estimates that by the end of June Oregon will have about $13,000, 000 surplus from state income tax monies, but the law is that income tax funds may be used only to cancel out the state prop erty tax. In order to make $iu, 000,000 of this surplus available, the voters have been asked to authorize a special levy for two years which will then be can celed by the surplus on hand and in realitv never collected. Robert S. Farrell, secretary of state, urged passage of the meas ure when he visited Medford last week and Dainted a vivid picture of the deplorable overcrowding now a problem in every state in stitution. Telling of patients sleeping in halls, of buildings termed fire-traps, of training schools so crowded additional persons can be cared for only when a like number are released, Fan ell declared it was high time the state took steps to provide more than the bare minimum of care for the unfortunates in the institutions.
