Society Seeking To Aid Crippled When Help Needed If there is a crippled child or a handicapped adult in your family, the Oregon Society for Crippled Children and Adults wants to know about it. Mrs. C. B- Partch, chairman of this year's drive, declared today that the services of the society are available to crippled persons and that the society is "eager to give assistance where it is most needed to bring health and strength to either child or adult who needs aid in the battle for a normal life." "We shall never feel that we have fulfilled our purpose until we are giving full aid to every crippled child and adult who needs us. This is- why we hope to enlarge our funds this year in order to expand our services," she said. "Funds are being raised dur ing this Easter Seal .month from the citizens of this community to help those who are less for tunate," Mrs. Partch added. "Facilities of our society are maintained by this community participation in the Easter Seal drive. We want to see these serv ices extended to as many crip pled children as possible who need a crutch or therapeutic treatment as well as adults who need a helping hand to overcome a handicap. Need Funds "We cannot do this however," she said, "unless we have the funds to work with lor services to the crippled are expensive services since they require high ly trained professional per sonnel". Mrs- Partch pointed out that all but a small percentage of the funds raised during Easter Seal drive are used right here in the community, with considerably less than 10 per cent going to the National Society for Crip pled Children and Adults, Chi cago, to finance its program of research and education and a national program to aid the cerebral palsied.

PHONE 2-1521 Corner Iowa and Siskiyou Blvd. Aboard U.S.S. Curtlss in San Diego Bay, Apr. 6 (U.R) An un worried U. S. navy is using re ports of foreign submarine ac tivity off the California coast to help train crews in anti-submarine work, Vice Adm. Calvin T. Ourgin said today. Durgin, commander of the navy's powerful first fleet, said that nothing had been uncovered to prove that foreign subs were operating off the coast. He added that even if subs were found, they have every legal right to be there. Reports Too Vague . "The reports that come in on submarines are too vague," Dur gin said. "They are incomplete and offer little to go on toward searching." Durgin predicted that more reports of submarine activity will be flowing in. "It's just like flying saucers," he said. "Once somebody sees a submarine, more and more people will begin seeing them." "If we were at war, our meth ods of seeking out enemy under water craft would be entirely different," Durgin said. "Then we could use depth charges throughout suspected areas. It is extremely hard to find a sub by observation only. "However, these reports are serving as good training for the crews of destroyers taking part in the searches." Cities Good Targets Durgin said almost any city on the west coast would be e good target for a submarine capable of launching rockets. "A submarine could surface at about 20 or 25 miles and fire toward the city. Actually he could come within four miles and be there legally as long as we are at peace," Durgin said. "However, I doubt that the sub could come that close with out being sighted." He said we do not know how far potential enemies have gone in developing rocket-launching submarines or atomic warheads. "That is the advantage of a dictatorship," Durgin said. "A dictator can pick the time and place for an attack, whereas we must keep our forces spread so as to be prepared where he may strike." Anti-Sub Work Strong Durgin said the United States' anti-submarine work is the strongest tit has even been in time of peace. He said, however, that it is so widely spread that it would be impossible to stop a "Pearl Harbor" by subs off the coast. He said he did not believe such an attack would come in the near future. "Before starting a war, a na tion must have a backlog of equipment and men ready to move into some area. I know of no potential enemy that is so prepared," Durgin said. New Methods Durgin said the navy is con tinuously developing new and better methods of submarine de tection. He said the latest is the XP-5-Y, giant patrol plane be ing built for the navy by Con solidated Vultee aircraft corpor ation. The 60-ton plane, scheduled to be test flown within a few days, will be equipped with the most modern radar detection de vices, capable of locating sub marine that are below the sur face. United Strength Said Only Way To Abolish Warfare New York, Apr. 6 U.R Dr. Robert A. Millikan, of California Institute of Technology, said to day the only way to abolish glo bal wars is for all "peace-loving nations" to join in stopping any aggressor "even before he gets started." Millikan, vice president of Cal Tech's board of trustees and 1923 Nobel prize winner in phys ics, said the "responsibility is wholly on Russia" for sabotaging the efforts of the United Nations toward collective security. United Strength Seen "If Russia will not join in the effort," the scientist-educator said, "the next thing to do is for the rest of the world to keep strong themselves and to unite their strengths against any na tion that threatens to attack any one of them. Millikan discussed war and peace in an address prepared for the 1950 Brand Names day luncheon at the Hotel Waldorf Astoria. The fate of human well-being and human progress, he said, rests upon "two great pillars the spirit of religion and the spirit of science. Both are needed for ending world conflicts," he said. Security One Hope "The one hope before mankind for the abolition of world wars is collective security. "The game of the aggressor nation has always been to pick off the weaker nations one by one. That is just what Hitler did and just what Stalin Is try ing to do now. But there is no nation on earth strong enough to dare to make war against the united strength of all the rest of mankind with any hope of success." Coke Drinkers Hold Up Portland Drug Store Portland. Ore.. Apr. 6 U.R Four young men drank their cokes at the Davis drug store here last night and then held up store clerks for an undetermined sum of money, city police re ported today."
