To the Editor: When the long remembered Will Rogers said that all he knew was what he read in the newspapers, it's Hnnhtfiil if h realized the basic j importance of that statement. In a democracy like ours wnere it's people constitute a jury on controversies, especially of na tional importance, it is vitally necessary that the people be in formed of facts in the case. Take the longshoremen's strike that tied up the entire N. Y. harbor that included a car go shipment of cobalt held up that is still felt in the defense setup. We were let or allowed to think that it was communist schemed up, which could have been. It wasn't that save in a very minor degree. A Tecent magazine article told how it was a strike of union members against their leaders who were in cahoots with political gang sters who were allowed to run in favorites for the morning "showup" for work. Though the union got them high wages, the regular long shoremen were working on star vation pay. Why did not the newspapers report this at the time so that this nation's people could know where the fault lay? Now we have a paralyzing strike on the N. Y. Central. The newspapers are not saying why the railway brotherhood mem bers are refusing to work at this time when our very existence as a nation is at stake. Are they communist led or do they have grievances so great that they can risk national censure, including that of our boys across the sea fighting for this very freedom that the railroad brotherhood is apparently flouting? The vote our f orebearers fought and bled for is our strength when we know the facts.. It is our weakness when the truth is not given us. Let us know why and just who is at fault in this frightening rail way strike. F. J. Clifford 1319 S.

(International) Republicans in News; Candidates A "candidates' night" for Jackson county Republicans will be held at the Medford YMC A Thursday evening it was an nounced yesterday. Under the joint sponsorship of the Jackson County Young Republicans and the Jackson County Republican Women, the meeting will be attended by a number of candidates for public office at the May 16 primary election. Two other Republican candi dates were in the news this week end. Fred Robinson, Medford, one of three Republican candidates for nomination as state treasurer, reported on the organization of his campaign throughout the state, and the father of Catherine Holtz, a Medford woman who is a Candidate for election as an at large delegate to the Republican national convention, issued infor mation about her candidacy. Candidates Coming The Republican meeting Thursday will begin at 8 p. m. and several candidates from oth er sections of the state will be present to explain their qualifi cations for office, according to Bob Dickey, county Young GOP chairman. Mrs. Stephen Nye, county vice-chairman of the Re publican Women's group and its program director, said that "most of the people in this part of the state do not have an opportunity to meet with candidates for state office from other areas. This type of program will assist in this dif ficulty. Mrs. Nye and Dickey urged all county Republicans to attend, and stressed the fact that the multiple choices in a primary election face the voter with the responsibility of informing him self about candidates. Refreshments will be served during the meeting. Committees Organised Robinson, a brief one-time can didate for nomination as U. S. senator, returned to Medford Friday from a swing throughout the sta.te in behalf of his candi dacy for the state treasurer's job. He said committees for him have been organized in Portland, Klamath Falls, Bend, Salem, As toria and Lebanon. "Fine enthusiasm" for his can didacy has been noted, he said, and has been supported by influ ential backing. Committee chairmen in the cities named will be L. R. Hen ierson, Portland; Jimm Kern Jr., Klamath Falls: Clifford Harold, Salem; Dr. O. W. Lindbergh, As toria, and Wendell Granso, Leb anon. A chairman will be named soon in Bend, he said. Charles D. Wheeler of the weekly Capital Press, Salem, will aid Robinson in the campaign as publicity director. He has a wide acquaintanceship in Ore gon, particularly the eastern por tion, Robinson said.
