other employment."
"... It is with deep regret
that I do this and I wish at this
time to express my thanks to the
mayor, recorder, city council

with me in all things to the full

Juvenile Detention Home Seen
Feasible; Desirability Debated
John Schapps, director of the
western office of the National
Probation and Parole association,
last night told the Jackson Coun
ty Juvenile Court Advisory com
mittee that establishment o-' a
Juvenile detention home here is
"feasible," but that a decision as
to whether it should or should
not be constructed is up to the
community and its leaders.
Schapps made a preliminary
survey of detention needs at the
request of the committee and of
the groups which it represents
more than 30 organizations and
agencies of the community.
There was no charge for the sur
vey, which is one of the "techni
cal" services furnished by the
NPPA, a non-profit group dedi
cated to the improvement of
penal methods and rehabilita
tion. Three Questions
His survey was based on three
questions 1. whether there is a
need for special Juvenile deten
tion facilities separate from Jails:
2. feasibility of such a project,
and, 3. the possibility of collabo
ration in the Job with Josephine
county.
His work included inspection
of jails and "tanks" in Jackson
and Josephine counties, discus
sions with police officers and in
spection of their juvenile care
statistics, and discussions with
other community leaders, lay and
professional. .
He recommended a modest
start on the project with the erec
tion of a "family-type detention
home, and pointed that Jose
phine county needs some similar
type of facility, and that a con
tractual agreement of some sort
might be worked out.
He recommended against an
expensive "institutional" type of
project.
Other Studies Seen
Capacity of such a home would
have to be worked out by a de
tailed study of needs, and plans
and specifications also were not
within the scope of his prelimi
nary survey, he said. The needs
of detained youngsters in health,
education and recreation should
also be taken into consideration
A discussion of his report fol
lowed, with several members of
the committee bringing up va
rious points of view. District At
torney Paul Haviland pointed
out that under present costs, such
a facility would probably cost a
minimum of some $60,000, with
probable operating costs of $25
000 or more yearly. He suggested
that a more realistic approach
would be to hire additional Ju
venile officers to work with -par
ents, and to prevent situations
from arising where detention is
necessary.
He also said that periods of de
tention for youngsters ordinarily
are not more than a day or two.
and that with a remodeling fit a
part of the jail, adequate faclli
ties could be provided there. If
such a proposed "family type'
home were established, and were
vacant many days each year (as

Comments "Heartening"

Reds' Anti Germ Warfare
Propaganda Campaign Seen
As Apparently
By JACK JAMES
(United Press Staff
Correspondent
Hong Kong (U.R) Bacterio
logical warfare charges against
the United Stales have been giv
en tvp priority in the interna
tional propaganda program of
the Chinese Communists. There
is every indication that it is suc
cessful from their point of view.
Specific rebuttal from top
western scientists and from
China's most famous epidemic
fighter, Dr. Wu Lien-teh, has not
stopped or even embarrassed the
Chinese propagandists.
Their campaign is still but
tressed with exhibits which have
been proved "fabricated," de
scriptions of methods which
have been called Ineffective, and
by statements that are consider
ed questionable at best.
Spread to West
The campaign is not confined
to China and North Korea. It has
been endorsed by such western
scientists as Frederic Joliet
Curie. It has been supported by
published findings of such orga
nizations as the International
Commission of Democratic Law
yers, and the "commission to in
vestigate the American crime of
germ warfare."
A recent release of New China
News Agency said that "all stu
dent organizations and science
institutes in the world" were re
ceiving "documentation and evi
dence on the use of bacteriologi
cal warfare." This propaganda
program was sponsored by the
International Union of Students,
which has a branch in China.
Science organizations in
China have written letters of ap
peal to similar groups in Europe
and America, asking them to
protest the alleged use of bacter
iological warfare methods in
Korea. The fact that western
scientists have discredited the
charges as "fabricated" brings
only a counter statement that
such rebuttal could be expected
from "imperialist" scientists.

The committee voted to accept
Schapps' report, and to appoint a
sub-committee to study it and
recommend the next steps to be
taken by the larger group.
If additional studies are deem

Successful
of the campaign has been publi
cation of "depositions" from two
U.S airmen captured by Com
munist troops after being shot
down over North Korea. The
two men, first lieutenants Ken
neth K. Enoch and John Quinn
purportedly attended a special
school in germ warfare methods
and carried out raids over North
Korea.
The earliest bacteriological at
tack described by Communist
propaganda agencies prior to the
purported confessions of Quinn
and Enoch occurred Feb. 24 in
North Korea. Quinn was captur
ed on January 13, Enoch on Jan

The Communists are leaving
no method or medium unused in
this campaign. Recorded "con
fessions" of both Quinn and
Enoch have been played over
Radio Peiping. Every organiza
tion in China from science
groups to peasants associations
has issued statements condemn
ing the alleged use of germ war
fare tactics.
Charges Endorsed
The American-edited China
Monthly Review, still published
in Shanghai, has printed articles
endorsing the charges. Another
magazine, China Reconstructs,
slick-paper bi-monthly designed
for overseas readers, has also ac
cepted the charges Without reser
vation
There is evidence that the
charges are being Increasingly
accepted abroad. Trades Union
delegations from western coun

May Day celebrations were all

Roald Amundsen's Vessel
Shown at San
San Francisco (U.R) A voy
age of exploration which began
in 1903 has never ended, at least
to the romantic who is willing to
use his imagination.
On the beach of San Fran
cisco's Golden Gate Park, her
bow some 200 yards from the
boiling surf at the entrance of
the park, lies the world-famous
schooner Gjoa, Capt. Roald Am
undsen s 47-ton craft which car
ried him over the top of North
America through the "North
west Passage" in 1905.
How the former Norwegian
fishing boat, elevated to the
glory of a ship of exploration
ranking with Henry Hudson's
Half Moon or Sir Francis
Drake's Golden Hind, came to
rest on San Francisco's rocky
shore is a little-known story.
Just Small Boat
Small by modern standards,
the Gjoa was 70 feet long, had a
beam of 21 feet 6 inches and a
draft of nine feet one inch. When
she pulled out of Oslo, Norway,
in 1903, she carried 313 square
yards of canvas on her two
masts and Jibs. -
To guard against becalming,
Amundsen had installed an auxi
liary kerosene engine of 13
horsepower. Other than that her
gear was essentially the same as
when she joined the Norwegian
fishing fleet in 1872.
In this craft, which would
make a good sized lifeboat on a
modern ocean liner, Amundsen
and Ills crew set out on a voyage
above the Arctic Circle, through
waters never before cut by a
ship's keel. It was a voyage that
was destined to come to an end
three years later at San Fran
cisco. '
After traversing the northern
straits, the Gjoa entered the Pa
cific Ocean and headed toward
southern waters on the voyage
home. Ironically, after travers
ing unknown waters to the
north, the ship nearly came to
disaster off the Golden Gate.
There she encountered a raging

Towed by Cutter
A United States cutter took

Stirred by the exploits of this
tiny ship and her crew, the Nor

ceremonies in 1907, the ship was
