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.

ALFRED'S FLORISTS
ASHLAND, Ore. 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."
