March 4th was inauguration day for Presi dents elected the previous November, until a few years ago. Usu ally the weather was terrible. Nothing terrible about today after an absence of 24 hours the good old summer-time has returned, and everyone is feeling better. Weather has more to do with disposition than most people realize. Two golf items in the morning paper remind the writer of Hugh Starkweather, who recently resigned as "pro" at the country club. Not only was Hugh one of the best golf instructors that ever cured a slice, but a world-beater in the direction of golf "dope." Two years ago, for example, Hugh picked a pug-faced lad by the name of Jack Burke Jr., as "the coming champ" and just before the Bing Crosby tournament two months ago, informed the writer that Eill Nary, who was George Harrington's tournament partner, was "one of the best" but had not played enough to help George much. "If he sticks to the game a month or two, don't sell him short," concluded Hugh. Well Burke won his 3rd pro tournament at Baton Rouge Monday, and Nary finished second in a playoff threesome. That is known as "calling your shots." Speaking of the Medford golf club, Federal Judge Fee was and still is when federal court is in session an unforgettable figure on the course during the summer months. In the first place the judge is as big as a barn-door with his shirt on, and looks even more gargantuan with it off . Ram or smne it was always on. ine juage could hardlv be called an orthodox stylist at the game, but he had STYLE that was all his own. It driver technique, or perhaps more sledge-swinger at the county fair the heavily muscled gent trying to hit the peg so hard it would ring the bell and bring down a box of nickel cigars. When "His Honor" hit the ball fair and square, with a perfect follow-through, he won the long-driving contest hands down, but this really added up to what is legally known as a "non seauitur" for the award through and Judge Fee was too busy seeing where the pesky pellet was going to pay any heed to that. And he never loitered along the wav. un-hill or down dale it was all the same, with his caddy and the court-reporter (usually doubling for the afternoon as a golf opponent), trying hard to keep up. Judge Fee threw a bomb-shell into federal court circles here the day we arrived, by speaking his mind regarding his colleagues and when the judge speaks his mind, there is no more punch pulling than when he plays golf. He didn't like the way the federal grand juries had been selected or instructed, and maintained a new grand jury should be called in the Smyth income tax case. Instead of grand juries being limited in attorney's office, or in their places Judge Fee declared there was practically no limit to what they might do if they wished, or where they might meet, be it "a bar. night club or bawdy-house." So that was that. And did the' up and bust! One of them spent most of his time when instructing a new grand jury yesterday paying his respects to this member of of the Federal Court from "Or-Ree-Gon" although no names were mentioned. We quote Federal Judge Goodman: "It has recently beon said that the grand jury may seek information in a night club, bar or 'house of ill-fame.' and that tho grand jurors, separately or in group, can attend cocktail parties at the house of the prosecutor. "Such questionable practices may POSSIBLY be per mitted in icmo other jurisdiction. (Zingo!) "Such practices savor much of the view of those who be lieve that the moans, however disorderly, justify the end. They are inevitably violative of fundamental constitutional rights. ' "In Northern ' District of California, however, for over 100 years our Federal grand juries have met in the official quarters provided and have conducted their inquiries and deliberations there and no place else. In 1895 Judge W. W. Morrow sent a grand juror to jail for six months 'for com municating with witnesses in a Palace Hotel bar'." Your correspondent would like to be within ear-shot of Judge Algernon Fee when he reads that! It should be noted, however, that not only Judge Goodman but Judges Roach and Carter of the Northern California District fol lowed in MORE THAN ONE DIRECTION the line so emphatically recommended ten days ago by the judicial representative "in some other jurisdiction!" Here is something for the book. ' An editorial in Hearst's "Examiner" today speaks unfavorably of Hearst's favorite candidate for the GOP nomination, Senator Robert Alonzo Taft. (If the late William Randolph were alive that editorial writer would be fired at once such deviation from the Hearst line was one thing NEVER tolerated!) It is not the only indication we have noted recently that the Examiner has improved since the new and younger regime took over. Certainly there was room for it! - . Here is the polite little tap on the erring Ohio Senator's wrist for his vote against the admission of Alaska as a state, quote: "Senator Taft voted to recommit for reasons that do not appear valid to us. He said he would vote for statehood tor Hawaii because it was economically self-supporting, but could not vote for Alaska because it would remain an eco nomic dependency of the Federal Government. ... Senator Taft's vote indicates ho has a rather short-sighted view of America's critical strategic problem. . . . Wo can not admire Republicans moved by petty political considerations." That extract will be tacked up in a prominent place in the sanctum of The Medford Mail Tribune, and duly referred to when ever "Ye Editor" feels more than usually depressed by the "petty" considerations of Republicans WE can't admire or "petty" Demo crats, like Connally of Texas, for that matter! It is really a sad' reflection upon the mass intelligence of this country the kind of advertising copy that some of the largest concerns put out.

Yet "you ain't seen nuthin' yet" as the late, and lamented, Al Jolson was supposed to have said. (Al departed this life, incidently, suddenly and dramatically only a couple of blocks and only a year ago from where this is being written, when your special cor respondent was doing what he is "doing now.)

Court Room Displays Oregon State Flag Portland (U.PJ The Oregon State flag today hangs beneath the American flag in the circuit courtroom of Judge Ashby C. Dickson. The Portland jurist, an ardent states righter, said the legisla ture should require every school house and courthouse in the state to display the blue and gold banner. Dickson saw the California flag displayed in California courts last summer and when he returned to Portland he or dered an Oregon flag from a Portland firm.

Matter of Fact THE GREAT REPUBLICAN MYSTERY Washington The Republican situation in the South is just about the queerest feature of the current political scene. Its mys terious outlines are startlingly diclosed by a poll of the editors and political experts of 23 lead ing Southern newspapers. Their answers, which blanket the tra ditionally Solid South, are as follows: First, the established Southern Republican leaders almost unan imously favor the candidacy of Sen. Robert A. Taft . of Ohio. These men have run their state Republican parties for many decades like so many small, profitable, exclusive clubs, even in some cases holding their political conventions in their own houses, as indicated in the last report in this space. They control the party machinery, and if they can prevent hoi pol loi from breaking into their clubs, they will send Taft dele gations to Chicago. They are generally expected to succeed in Arkansas, Florida,' Mississippi, Tennessee and West Virginia. Second, the Southern popular surge in favor of General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower has caused a good deal of vul gar battering on the club doors in Alabama, Louisiana, Ken tuckyNorth Carolina, Virginia and Texas. It is very far from excluded that the old-line Re publican leaders will manage to hold several of these states for Taft. In others, the Eisen hower leaders may pick up a delegate or so, as they have in Kentucky, where the most bru tal representative tactics of the pro-Taft faction have held the Taft loss to an estimated two delegates. And in still other states, like North Carolina, a considerable share of "the dele gates may go for Eisenhower. rpHIRD, however, Sen. Taft, the favorite of the professionals, appears to be highly . unlikely to carry a single Southern state for his party, whereas Gen. Ei senhower would probably carry several of them. On' this point, the expression of the Southern editors and political experts is both frank and clear. For example, B. S. Griffith, executive editor of the Char lotte, N. C, News, writes that "If Truman is the Democratic nominee I think Eisenhower could carry the state. I am con fident Taft COu'd no rarrv 't regardless of the Democratic nominee. (But) i the -ficials can keep control,, the state will go for Taft at the con vention." Again, from Alabama, Fred Taylor, political analyst of the Birmingham News, writes that "Sen. Taft has a big bulge in Republican - organization sup port. But as for popular, sup port . . . Gen. Eisenhower has a wide margin." And Grover Hall of the Montgomery Adver tiser goes further,, saying that "right now Eisenhower enjoys a popularity second only to Jef ferson Davis on his inaugura tion day." . ; Over all, of the 23 editors and political experts queried, 14 gave their views on the national elec tion. A single editor, E. D. Lam bright of the Tampa, Fla., Morn ing Tribune,; opined that Sen. Taft might perhaps carry his state against President Truman. None of the remaining 13 held out any hope that Taft . would carry any Southern state, and all 14 indicated, with ; varying degrees of confidence, that their states could be carried by Gen. Eisenhower. KENCE, if the South's leading editors and analysts are to be trusted, at least a majority of the Southern Republican dele gates are going to the man who cannot win any Southern states, while the Republican candidate who has an excellent chance in the South will at best get the votes of a minority of the Southerner! at Chicago. The sit By Jtofamf Cm Stewart Abo uation seems a trifle anomalous, to put it mildly. . The practical explanation lies, of course, in the careful cultiva tion of the Southern political vineyard both by Sen! Taft him self and by such expert lieu tenants as John Marshall, and Brazilla Carroll Reece. Yet this quite obvious practical explana tion does not answer the really big question confronting the na tional Republican party. This is the question, "How is any Re publican to be elected to the presidency who cannot break the Solid South?" It is wrong, nowadays,' to base political calculations on the pattern of 1924 and 1928, when California was still a Repub lican state and New York was so evenly divided that the Re publicans always carried it in their good years. The Demo crats have now gained so much strength in Northern states like these that in California, for ex ample, Democratic . registration outweighs Republican by two to one. No Republican candi date without powerful appeal to the broad mass of independent voters (whom Sen. Taft has rath er publicly rejected) can rea sonably hope, nowadays, for an old-fashioned. Republican sweep in the North. The Southern. Democratic leaders have meanwhile ' made doubly sure that Sen. Taft will not make any inroads in the South. This is one Of the results of the candidacy of the able Sen. Richard R. Russell of Geor gia. If the Republicans pick Ei senhower, Russell 'will almost certainly stand down. But if- it is Taft and Truman, then Rus sell will run, and the Southern votes that Taft might get will go to Russell. All in all, these are important practical .. prob lems for the Republicans to pon der. (Copyright, i952, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.)

(Those articles are based on tho book. The Man From .,' Abilene." by Kevin McCann. to be published by Double day and company.) ! The years between 1920 and 1940 were significant in Gen eral of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower's life. They were formative years, in which he practiced not only the purely military arts but engaged in the tasks of administration, of train ing manpower, of studying America's natural and indus trial resources and her strategic requirements. He was acquiring the background for the science of government. Three assignments removed his pattern from the predictable to the extraordinary. One was to the American Battle Monu ments Commission, in the late twenties. The second was to the office of the Assistant Secretary of War, in ,1930, , where he planned industrial mobilization, helped to found the Army In dustrial College, studied alter nate sources of rubber such as synthetics and-guayule. Third, in . 1933, General Douglas Mac Arthur, "then Chief of Staff, brought Eisenhower into' his of fice to help in drafting reports and documents and " to '. battle with economy-minded Congress for military outlays that would give us some preparedness. Asked for Eisenhower . In the fali of 1935, MacArthur became military adviser to the Philippine government. He asked for Eisenhower as senior mili tary assistant. Their close asso ciation was to last until the end of 1939. Eisenhower had a ma jor role in the job of building a citizen army for defense . of the Philippine Islands. It was excel lent training for SHAPE. Eisenhower's earlier .work with the Battle Monuments Commission, in Washington and in France, gave him intimate knowledge of. French terrain, climate, transportation nets. He studied the topography from Brest to the Rhine, tramped the battlefields, noted many items of military interest, prepared accounts of American operations from channel ports to the Cob lenz bridgehead. It was useful knowledge for June 6, 1944. Much Speculation There has been much specula tion about relations between MacArthur and Eisenhower. Ending his tour as Chief of Staff in 1935, MacArthur had this to say of his young assistant: "You were retained by the Secretary of War, and later by myself, on critically v important duties in the department long past the duration of ordinary time involved, plus mileage! Quite frankly, our gain is the fact we are often chosen to con duct memorial services for the deceased. .1, personally, have gone on 90 per cent of these calls since tak ing office. Is it logical to believe a busy doctor can afford to leave a practice to be gone sometimes half a day at a time to investi gate a coroner case, or- would he more likely appoint deputies to do this for him? Where would be the gain in efficiency? . Jackson County Coroner. Carlos W. Morris, Cats Need Home To the Editor: Will you please publish the following to help us find a home for 11 abandoned cats which we have cared for. We are going away and hate to leave them without a home. ; "We are . 11 cats who have lived very happily in a big barn.

"Every day they bring us two slices of breda and pour us warm milk to drink, but they are going away for the summer and there will be no more milk and they are worried about our liveli- hood. "Most of us were dumped here and were made welcome and happy. Some of us sit at the milk stool and paw at their boots for them to hurry with our sup per. "Does anyone else like cats?

California bees produced 480, 000 pounds of beeswax in 1951, leading all other states. A Half-Doxcn With Mac Arthur staff tours, solely because of your success in performing difficult tasks whose accomplishment re quired a comprehensive grasp of the military profession in all its principal phases, as well as an alytical thought and forceful ex pression. Through all these years I have been impressed by the cheerful and efficient devotion of your best efforts to confining, difficult and often strenuous du ties, in spite of the fact that your own personal desires involved a return to troop command other physically - active phases of Army life, for which your char acteristics so well qualify you." Nothing Said Missed He immediately added as an assurance to the younger man that he had "really missed noth ing at all: "In this connection I should like to point out to - you ; that your unusual experience in the Department will be of no less future value to. you as a com mander than as a staff officer, since all problems presented to you were necessarily solved from the viewpoint of the high com mand. . . . The numbers of per sonal requests for your services brought to me by heads of many of the Army's principal activi ties during the past few years furnished convincing proof of the reputation you have estab lished as an outstanding soldier. I can say no more than that this reputation coincides exactly with my own judgment." More emphatically than any letter,' Eisenhower's, departure for the Philippines with Mac Arthur in the same year testified to both his. respect for and his personal loyalty to the older man. In the islands, Eisenhower helped to build a Filipino army, an air . force, a fleet of motor torpedo boats. He ajso worked out a defense plan which ac curately predicted that the main Japanese attack would come along Lingayen Gulf. The plan also provided that, the Ameri can and . Filipino defenders would . retire onto . the . Bataan Peninsula and Corregidor for a delaying and holding action. This they were to do, tying up far more than their numbers in crack Japanese troops. War Made Him Restless The outbreak of World War II made Eisenhower restless in his Philippines job. He wanted to get home, as he wrote in "Crusade in Europe," in order "to take part in the work of intensive preparation- which I was now certain would begin in the United States." He had had eight years of "military planning and pleading." He longed to be with men and weapons, "the two fundamental elements of mili tary effort." Reluctantly, President Quezon let Eisenhower go. On Dec. 12, 1939, Quezon awarded Eisen hower the Distinguished Service Star of the Philippines, with this citation: "As .the senior assistant of the military adviser from the in auguration of the commonwealth to the present time; Colonel Eis enhower has continuously de voted his exceptional talents to the development of adequate se curity forces for the. Philippines. Through his professional attain ments, his breadth of under standing, his . zeal and his mag netic leadership, he has been re sponsible for notable progress in the Philippine Army. Through his outstanding achievements, in the service of xhe Philippine govr ernment, he has 'increased . the brilliance of his already en viable military reputation, and has earned the gratitude and esteem of Jhe Filipino people." Paid Compliment The following day the Eisen howers sailed from Manila on the President Coolidge. Gen. MacArthur (who had been named a field marshal' of the Philip pines) and Mrs. MacArthur paid them the unusual compliment of seeing them off at the pier. Eisenhower knew.; that the first job would be to get ready to deal with Hitler. After listen ing in Manila to Prime Minister Chamberlain's broadcast of Sep tember 3, 1939, on the outbreak of war Eisenhower had written, prophetically: ; "After months and months of feverish effort to appease and placate the madman that is gov erning Germany the British and French seem to be driven into Chapel Mortuary Across from the Courthouse Frank Morgan - FUNERAL Phone Greed a corner out of which they can work their way only fighting. It's a sad day for Europe and for the whole civilized world though for a long time it has seemed ridiculous to refer to the world as civilized. Spread of Communism Seen "If the war, which now seems to be upon us, is as long drawn out and disastrous, as bloody and as costly as was the so-called World War, then I believe that the remnants of nations emerg ing from it will be scarcely rec ognizable as the ones that ent ered it Communism and anarchy are apt to spread rapidly, while crime and disorder, loss of per sonal liberties, and abject pov erty will curse the areas that witness any amount of fighting. "It doesn't seem possible that people that proudly refer to themselves as intelligent could let the situation come about. Hundreds of millions will suf fer privations and starvation, millions will be killed and wounded because one man so wills it . . . power drunk ego centric . . . one of the crimin ally insane . . . the absolute ruler of 89,000,000 people, And by his personal magnetism, which he must have, he has con verted a large proportion of those' millions to his insane schemes and to blind acceptance of his leadership. Unless he is successful in overcoming the whole world by brute force the final result will be that Ger many will have to be dismem bered. " Called Backr to Desk The attack at Pearl Harbor forced Eisenhower back from field work to desk work in Washington, working on our Pa cific defenses and on means to supply MacArthur's beleaguered forces. In February, 1942, Que zon wirelessed a bombshell to the White House: he wanted the islands declared independent and neutralized. MacArthur asked for instructions. Eisenhower spent all of Feb. 9, 1942 (he recorded on a desk diary), "preparing drafts of presidential messages to Mac Arthur and Quezon. Long, diffi cult and irritating. . . . But now we'll see what happens. Tonight at 6:45 I saw the president and got his approval to sending the messages." One message, from Roosevelt to MacArthur, ruled out thfc Quezon idea. It said in part: "American forces will con tinue to keep our flag flying in the Philippines. . . . There has been gradually welded into a common front a globe-encircling opposition to the predatory pow ers that are seeking the destruc tion of individual liberty and freedom of government. We can not afford to have this line broken in any particular the ater." The message also instructed MacArthur to inform Quezon that whatever happened, the American forces would return "and drive the last remnant of the invaders from your soil."
