Washington, June 19 (U.R)
Gen. 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.

CBM Leo Bellon Of
USS Comfort Crew,
Spends Leave Here
CBM Leo Bellon, son of Mrs.
A. T. Schmidt, 622 West Fourth
street, is spending a leave visit
ing at the family home here. He
reports back to duty June 23.
CBM Bellon saw service in the
Guadalcanal, Philippines, New
Guinea and Okinawa campaigns

the time the hospital ship was
hit by a Japanese suicide plane.
He s;iid the ship was hit April

were known dead and 40 were
injured. Six of the dead were
doctors and six were nurses. The
plane, CBM Bellon said, lodged
at surgery and considerably dam
aged the ship
The ship was attacked in the
Leyte campaign and once- pre
viously off Okinuwa, according
to the navy man, but was missed
both times.

fore making the final plunge.
The attack occurred at night, he
said while the ship was fully
lighted Those on board thought
it was a friendly plane, thinking

a hospital ship according to rules
of the Geneva Conference, he
stated.
