OTTO 7 imhfr( htr f-rysrfoif hCPinttrre In this age of steel tanks and ships it is interesting to note that the Army is as dependent upon wood to day as it was in the days of the log stockade, and the Navy is dependent upon lumber as it was in the days of John Paul Jones. The Army needs wood for great cantonments; the Navy uses 300,000 feet of lumber for the decking on a single steel-hulled battleship and a million feet for t la sintne moDiie ary aocK. inai is wny me mius 01 this area and the entire nation are working at capacity in an effort to meet military needs. That is why men are sorely needed in sawmills and woods of Jackson county so that war requirements can be satisiiea. e e e e JACKSON County has a sizeable stake in this indus try. More than 11 million dollars worth of lumber was marketed from the Medford working circle last year, with Uncle Sam directly or indirectly the major customer. Lumber dollars have flowed freely through the arteries of trade in this section of the state. They should continue to db so in the form of payrolls after the war, as this industry needs no peacetime conversion and postwar demands are cer tain to be heavy. "IXE must, of course, guard carefully such an im- portant source of income. Technological prog- ress Unas wood producing almost everything homes, plywoods and plastics, synthetic tires, motor fuels, paper, textiles and even explosives. New words such as"compreg," "papreg" and "impreg" hint of developments of which we are scarcely aware today. And the greater the expansion of wood uses the more will be the payrolls of this industry to bolster Rogue River Valley's postwar economy. FIRE is, of course, the greatest single threat to the forests the source of immediate and future wealth. And rierht now is the dancer time for fire in southern Oregon. A destructive forest fire at this time would curtail wartime production and thus hamper the war effort t would lay waste southern 'Oregon s great scenic resources, destroy wilaliie and ravage trie an-im portant water-shed sources of municipal and irriga tion water and hydro-electric power. MORE than that, it would divert manpower from Via -lftVi ft i-Arli-f inn vifallv raaAaA way ma. terials to the non-productive task of. fighting fire, Lightning-caused fires are keeping present fire-fight ing staffs busy. Every precaution should be taken to see that man-made fires do not increase the serious problem now faced. ' e e e e a THROUGH the energetic work of "Keep Oregon Green" committees, this program has become al most a religion with the people of this valley. Educa tion with young folks through the Green Guards is paying dividends too. The public here is alert to the danger of forest fires and aware of loss that a damag ing blaze would mean to every person living in southern Oregon. Keeping Oregon green is a matter of self-interest as well as a responsibility of good citizenship in this state. A ND so, with temperatures high and humidity low " at this time of year, it behooves everyone who enters the forests to drown theircampfires and see that cigarettes are not carelessly tossed aside. Never was an ounce of prevention quite so important. H.G. . Eden Was Right The failure of the Simla conference sustains For eign Minister Anthony Eden in his declaration at San Francisco. Subject to severe criticism by the members of the East Indian press and the "rebel" delegation for his statement that Britain would give India Dominion status, whenever the Indians could agree among themselves, the official spokesman of the British dele gation nevertheless stuck to his guns, insisted that Britain had done her share to bring about a satis factory settlement the delay was due, not to Britain but solely to the inability of the Indian factions to agree. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, July 16 The Berlin conference, of Messrs. Truman, Churchill and Stalin t the head of substantial en tourages, will be long and thorough. Those who left here early, including Joseph Davies (who seems to be a sort of new Harry Hopkins to Mr, Truman on Russia) made plans to be away a month. In ner plans call for Mr. Truman's return about Aug. 13. What will be the subjects for discussion is a matter of com, mon popular speculation, tne commonest and most popular running to International diplo matic crises on the front pages. Last week's crisis was Turkey. This week added Tangiers and Berlin food.

July 16. (UP.) Police reported today that Ste phen Ostroskl, 36, was so "burn ed up" over his arrest on charges of Intoxication and breach of the peace that he set afire $300 he had on hit person in the police lock-up. AT a subsequent press conference held by Mrs. Pandit, this statement was vehemently denied. It was declared the British Foreign Minister was en gaging in typical "double-talk," that there was no internal disagreement in India, the only difficulty being that what all East Indians wanted "complete independence," Great Britain denied. e e e a a "THE reports from Simla certainly do not sustain 1 this contention. The new offer from Viceroy Wavell apparently was favorably received by many East Indian delegates but the old feud between the various factions, especially between the Moslem League and the Hindu groups again broke out, and once more any attempt to get together on any definite proposals had to be abandoned. e a e e e AS before remarked in this department, it is this aversion to any sort of give and take, any work able compromise, this stubborn insistence upon a whole loaf or none at all, on the part of the East In dian zealots that makes the entire East Indian prob lem so baffling and so persistently insoluable. As Foreign Minister Eden remarked, there can be no hope of Britain solving the Indian problem until some agreement can be reached among the Indians themselves as to what solution they w ill accept R.W.R. rOR many generations Britain has been accustomed to a diplomatic crisis a 'week, some times two in good weeks. Our venture into world leadership has, for the first apparent result, plunged us into the realm of succeeding endless crises in one part of the world or another. My guess is that the handling of whatever crises are upper most in the news of the moment may dominate the reports from the conference, but not the con ference. But that to be success ful, the meeting itself must deal inevitably with what causes all these crises, and eliminate the causes. e a e . THE new president, Mr. Tru- man, and bis new state secre tary, Brynes, are being sent on their way .with the private sena torial comment that they are not men "accustomed to giving things away." To this observa tion, one senator has rejoined: "Yes, but we have nothing to give away. This may be somewhat true in a territorial sense, but in a more accurate consideration we have the entire world to give away. We can give away other nations quite freely. The truth is we have leadership to assert. The cause of these crises is a developing imperialist policy by nussia. tier army occupation of European territory was blocked off from all news, by Moscow, ior several weeks after the sur. render, until a few days ago. ine commonly ascribed rea son for our exclusion, as of fered authoritatively, but priv ately, here, Is that Russia wished to liquidate all her enemies in those nations before letting us even into Berlin.

State Engineer Approves To the editor: Vour editorial in The Medford Mail Tribune re garding the fish problem, in the issue of July 2, 1045, has been noted. You are to be commend ed upon this article. In my opin ion, your suggestions are con structive and sound. Nothing can be gained by the extremists continuing to fight, but If all will join in having surveys and investigations and studies made of the difficulties can be worked out. It is hoped that local interests and others will read your edi torial and join in having the sur veys and investigations and stud ies made by those qualified to do so. Very truly yours, CHAS. E.

One can't do other than meditate, can one, when it's 190 in the shade? I was reflecting how much big ger the mosquitoes are this year. Due, no doubt, to the fact that meat rationing hasn't struck them yet. An interesting sight caught my eye; a busy little go pher, bless his heart, was busy pulling my pea vines under ground. Now there is an animal who really stores for winter. The rattlesnakes along here, fat little rascals, merely nip a bite out of your shin and think that is enough to keep them growing. I was so busy ponder ing this phenomenal fact, I didn t notice the big hawk when he scooped up one of my prize fry ers and made off. just as an old doe gathered into her maw the last leaf on my Elberta. I thought how amazing a bird the hawk is, to unerringly choose the fattest chicken and the amount they consume. And It s absolutely astounding what you can do tono, with a dear lit tle deer by raisiftg an orchard for its benefit.

E T E WEATHER Northern California Clear to day, tonight and Tuesday but with coastal fog mainly along the coastal and southern por tions. Few afternoon and eve ning thunder showers In central and southern ranges. Little tem perature change. Moderate northwest wind off the coast. Berkeley established the first junior high school in the United States. Chicago (U.R) American hos pitals are working on a plan to prevent a shortage of child spe cialists after the war, according to an official of the American Medical Assn. Dr. Victor Johnson, chairman of the association's council on medical education and hospitals. said the program was nation wide. It was started because American standards of maternal and child care were endangered by a wartime speedup in training of doctors.. American mothers and their children receive the finest care in the world because we have the specialists to apply our ad vanced knowledge in this field, -Dr. Johnson said. War Cut Training It takes ffve years of training and experience after internship to produce a specialist in obstet rics, howevpr, and war demands have ended opportunities for this kind of training, he explained. The usual methpd through which doctor obtains such training is by residency in a hospital and "most medical graduates are now permitted only nine months ot hospital work before entering active ser vice and a very small number is permitted a total of 27 months," Dr. Johnson said. 'This is entire ly inadequate to qualify a physi cian as a specialist." Before the council opened Its campaign to. help provide more residencies in obstetrics, it made some studies, starting in 1942, according to a report by Dr. Johnson and Dr. M. G. West moreland, in a recent quarterly bulletin of the American com mittee on Maternal Welfare. "The council made prelimin ary estimates that it would be necessary to supply about 12,000 residencies for two to four years after the war instead of the nor mal complement of about 6,000 for that period," the report said, 700 Residencies Goal Questionnaires to doctors in service indicated that of the 12,000 to 15,000 who plan to seek hospital residency training in all fields of medicine after the war, between 1,300 and 1,500 will want such training in ob stetrics and gynecology. To meet this need, the council has contacted 1,200 hospitals to date and urged their co-operation in the council program which will reach 1,500 hospitals eventually. Under the plan, the more advanced hospitals help the smaller ones to establish residencies and training pro grams in the field. The larger hospitals also are asked to sur vey their facilities to learn whether they can add more resi dencies in obstetrics. The goal of the program Is to develop the 700 residencies in this field which must be assured in order to keep and improve the high quality of care for we took for granted before the war, Dr. Johnson said.
