PASTOR-AUTHOR DIES Portland, Feb. 1 (U.PJ The Reverend Joseph P. Clancey, 85, pastor of St. Anthony's Catholic church In Portland, has diet fter a short illness. Father Clan cey gained wide fame mora than decade ago from two playa he wrote "North of 83" and "Princess oi the Mohawks," rridir. rb. !. in Editorial. Correspondence Stockton, Calif., Jan. 27: If permanently In California we would cnoose biocKion. nnu un less we could find more butter there than in Medford we would choose the Hotel Stockton for permanent resiaence. e e e e e Our first motor-trip to California from Medford was in the year IBIS, in a 'Tin Lizzie," owned by Fred Gowles, former rancher in the "Big Sticky" district, but for many years now a resident, and prominent civic worker of Santa Barbara, Calif. We left Medford about 4 a. m. on a cool September morning from the "Glalze" Hill, and had our first blow-out at the corner RiuraiH Drive and Main. fore we reached "Castle Crags" ning and camped for the night. six and one-hall miles per hour, Pacific!) But we know the "Old Timers" will confirm our story, lor thev remember what 'Tin Lizzies" were like 38 years ago; ana what outer-casings and inner-tubes not least, what the hinhways were There were no naved roads was the "Dollar Hide" toll-road in nav to set on it. but WE had with the riaht-of-way strewn durned thing, while Fred worked the throttle and HOW he worked ltl We are not certain, but we that finally was successful, and tain, and around noon-time, could Cal-ee-for-nee-A. Then we had to load up again. So. as staled, we reached "Castle Crags" about sundown and slept on the lawn in front of the was a fountain nearby which we distinctly recall, lunea ne tauor to sleep, and served us all as an extremely cool shower-bath, the next morning. (Oh. yes. we forgot to mention the third member of the party was Leonard Woodford, a young and rather cynical husbandman, as we recall it, who Cowles). But where docs Stockton come In? Well, it's this way: The second night after trying to make progress all day, we reached a small dust-heap by the S.P. track called ' Anderson" where we again rolled up In our blankets and saved hotel expenses. None of us had more than $5 cash at the time. (That Is the time Fred tried to shoot a blanket-stiff with his new Luger revolver, but that obviously la another story). The third night again no paved roads and again trying to get that 'Tin Lizzie" to function we reached after a terrific struggle (and we mean Just that) Woodland. And then we were headed for San Francisco, but instead of taking the road to that metropolis we got lost in a fog, ended up in Sacramento for lunch, and spent the night In the most ex pansive and luxurious hotel "Ye Editor" had ever seen up to that time, the Stockton hotel in Stockton, Calif. I No more blankets, no more wet, hard ground, no "Luger" pistols, no more dirt and dust a soft, clean 'bed and a bath, at a new steel and concrete hotel it had been built for strength as a result of the recent S.F. earthquake, and was it on that cold. Clear night, some 38 years ago, the "Promised Land!" e a e e e And it is nice nowl , And Stockton has not changed much, at least what we have seen of it. Nor the old port down on the river, nor the older boats, it is about as it was when Mark Twain and Bret Harte were there so how could one of the "Older Boys" fall to enjoy it? e e a e e Well, eventually we did gel to San Francisco. But that was the NEXT day, and after we were arrested for being in a "pro hibited" area In Golden Gate park but that TOO, Is another story. We remember we stayed at a hotel in S. F. called the St. Regis but not reminiscent of tho hotel In New York by the same namel We stayed there because the hotel, while somewhat obscure as far as Cooks and tho "Red Book" are concerned, had the business acumen to run an "ad" In the Medford Mail Tribune and the only way to get paid lor that ad there was no cash Involved In those days, was to take It out In trade! So that "Ye Editor" did. (And history will record, If history is accurate, that he paid for it!) a e e a a But there Is a nostalgic appeal to this old hotel, It Is old but It is good, with nice old elevator men and bellboys and good food and an air of relaxation and laissez-faire about it. We would like io stay here a few daya, but we are off for Arizona in the Good Ship Sedan, many buckets of water have passed over the dam since the GS Sedan set out for foreign parts. We hope she be haves better than she did the last time, but doubt It. We tried to get away from Medford at 8 a. m. but the starter went dead and it took us an hour that early in the morning to get anyone to push us. An all-night taxi man tried it. but his bumper was too low and he wanted to get to bed anyway, so we naa to punt, up tne state police and finally God bless the state police! we got the necessary push and were off for Ashland. It was slow going In the fog but In the Llthia City It was clear as a bell and clear all the way to this welcome haven. a e a a a Those who haven't motored south since "befoh the wnh." have a aurprise for them a pleasant one. The road is greatly Improved and the scenery also with very attractive winding lakes of a strange olive tint, and the bare red hill sides enclosing them.

"truth sex- urn," Is claimed to. remove all inhibitions and cause people under Its influence to reveal their Innermost thoughts and tell nothing but the truth. It is currently reported as being used on suspects in several cele brated cases. It has been sug gested If the "truth serum" were available to the public many women would be able to find out what has been puzzling them for years, i.e. what their husbands really think about. Whether this would be an ad vantage to a wife I cannot say. However, I doubt that it would be advisable for a husband to use anything like that on his mate. A man is better off if he doesn't know his wife's Inner most thoughts. An eminent psychiatrist with a long and varied experience with female patients recently said: . "If . the average husband knew what his wife really thinks about in her quiet moments he would be astonished, amazed and in many cases alarmed." Atklno Query from client. Q.

News Behind The News By Paul Malloo Washington, Feb. 1 The Pearl Harbor investigation has cleared the air over the great est naval dis aster of all his tory, only by dividing the fog into two parts. If you look carefully thr o u g h the accumul a t e d mass of testi fied details, you will find there Is not much remain ing confusion about the facts. But there is such a divergence of interpretation over what the facts mean that an agreed report is impossible. The Demorrats will write one version, the Republicans an other Any objective historian will have to seek to assign the blame In future, calmer, non politclal years. But he can start with the following conclusions which represent the studied impres sion of impartial observers who have heard it all and were can vassed by me for their personal conclusions: e e e A DM. Kimmcl and Gen. Short " cleared themselves of lone responsibility and required Washington to share the blame. They showed they haf not been advised sufficiently of Informa tion in the possesison of Wash ington officials to take the pre cautions necessary or otherwise prepare themselves for such a disaster. They did not escape responsibility but the evidence showed clearly why Washington never dared court-martial them Everyone here. In the White SEE US . . .

His name was brought into the inquiry only in connection with his efforts, a year or more earlier, to keep the fleet based in Hawaii instead of on the west coast. He was proved re sponsible for the over-all policy which kept the fleet there. By Inference he shares some de gree of the responsibility of Gen Marshall and navy for fail ing to make their Hawaiian agents aw ire of an attack they knew was coming somewhere Their testified excuse Is that they got their Information from secret code and did not want to use the normal avenues of communication, including the telephone, for fear the Japs would find out their code had been broken by us. Mr. Roosevelt also was shown to have been responsible for moving three battleships, an aircraft carrier and several de stroyers into the Atlantic ear lier, thereby weakening the fleet, but it was not shown def initely, as suspected, that he and Churchill had an agreement for aggressive parallel diploma tic action against Japan (some contended this provoked the Japs to attack). e WASHINGTON did know the ' Japs had established a "wind code" to notify their out Ivlntf fnrrp feast wind rain" mpant a hrpnlr with the United States).
