MAIL TRIBUNE
The New Annexation Plan
Will the new annexation proposal be rejected?
As the Senior Editor of this department remarks
occasionally, "We shall see what we shall see."
If logic and reasonableness and good will and a
sincere regard for the progress of Medford prevail,
the annexation will be approved.
If suspicion and bitterness and unreasoning fear
prevail, it will not.
.
IITE are willing to concede that the "mass annexa-
tion" which was so soundly defeated last July
(and wThich, incidentally, this newspaper strongly
supported), has its drawbacks. But we still maintain
that, by and large, it would have' been a step in the
right direction. A majority of the voters in the area af
fected disagreed. - ' '.
, Now there will be a new election to permit resi
dents of a smaller area to pass on the proposal. .
Why?
Are the city fathers trying to "cram something
down the throats" of those living there? Are they
"greedy for more tax money?"
Fiddlesticks ! ! Of course not.
IXHAT they are trying to do is solve, in an intelli
gent and progressive manner,' the approaching
crisis in sanitation; the need for zoning and proper
and acceptable building standards; the vital neces
sity for looking ahead and providing a basis whereby
adequate municipar services can be furnished to our
rapidly growing population.
It is a credit to the city administration, after the
sound drubbing the earlier annexation proposal re
ceived, that they are willing to make another try, on
a smaller and more homogenous basis. . 4
It takes a particular kind of courage to try again,
on principle and 'with nothing-to gain, after having
been once defeated. , V
THERE are a number of impelling reasons why the
annexation should be approved. One is the fact
that the proposed new hospital site is in the area, and
its construction would be threatened or hindered if
it cannot have city services. Another is a subdivision
planned in" the area which will need city services.
The over-riding reason, however, is the need to
provide a means and a pattern for growth of the city,
not only in this particular area, but in others as well.
That .-it is needed is acknowledged by many of the
residents who have petitioned to come in to the city.
IT MAY be noted that there have been several small
pieces of land annexed to the city since the "mass
annexation" was defeated last summer. This appar
ently will be a part of the pattern from now on, and
actually the new proposal: is in line with -this, al
though the area is bigger. "
We also can foresee the time when other similar
areas will be convinced that their best solution to the
problems of fringe growth will be to join with Med
ford. Annexation is not a cure-all. Nor is it always fea
sible for sections with particular problems or circum-
i stances. But in most cases
are having growing pains,
The Lincoln Legend
We are pleased to extend the hand of welcome
to Medf ord's newest journalistic enterprise. It is issue
No. 1 of The Lincoln Legend.
.It is published by the students in the language
arts department of Lmcoln school, and they were
kind enough to mail us a copy, with the promise of
future issues "if you should like."
We should. It's a good paper.
.'.
CDITORIAL writers, who sometimes tend to be
verbose, could leam from Sixth Grader . Mau
reen Schultz, who wrote an editorial entitled "Kind
ness To Others." Here it is, in full:
Being kind to others is a wonderful way to live. It's very
easy to be kind and to say kind things. If there is a new per
son in your classroom at school, and you say you're glad
that they are in your room, it gives them reassurance. That
is kindness to others.
That's not only good editorial writing;. it's good
journalism, clear, concise, definite and inclusive.
Johnny Cornell, correspondent for the fifth
grade, reported, "A boy asked another boy what he
was going to give his sister this Christmas. He said
he didn't know, but last year he gave her a cold!"
a ;
IF MORE evidence is needed, we shall provide a
last quotation from "Athletics," with the opiniori
that some of the nation's top sportswriters ' could
leam from Jobie Kellog:
In the first game of the season, Jackson school defeated
Lincoln 6 to 0. Jackson made a touchdown in the first few
minutes of the game on a pass play. .
Even though Lincoln made the most yardage and first
downs, bad luck, hurt us during the game. Mike Geary was
the hardest runner of the game with his long runs around
the end of the line. ' k

5500 Students Seen

Matter of Fact
THE LEFT-OUT PROJECT .
Washington The most impor

to aid the Chinese Communists

more conspic

u m e n t s con
cerning U. S.
policy in the
Far East in
the last. war.
The elder of
these .report
ers has person
Joseph . Alto
al knowledge of this project,
which constitutes one of the
major unsolved mysteries of the
Far Eastern war. In the summer
of 1945, shortly after the Jap
anese surrender on Okinawa, the
reporter accompanied' Maj: Gen.
C. L. Chennault .to the China
Theater headquarters of Gen.
Albert C. Wedemeyer, at Chung
king. ' .
While there, Gen. Wedemeyer
decidedly flatteringly asked the
reporter's advice on a highly
c o n f i dential -z
telegram
which had just
been received
from the Joint
Chiefs of Staff
in Wash i n g

Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, then
held the Okinawa command un

not, asked the telegram, let Gen.
Stilwell land from Okinawa on
the North China coast, possibly
on the Shantung peninsula? Be
cause of the expected require
ments of the invasion of JaDan.
Gen. Stilwell could not be al
lowed .more than' a couple of
American divisions. But he
could make a junction with the
local Chinese resistance forces;
he could strengthen them with
American arms; and he could
lead, them against the Japanese
armies in North China.
TiHE J.C.S. proposal, in snort,

frivolously, suggested to Geri.
Wedemeyer that he answer the

the Joint Chiefs really meant
10 go to war against Chiang.
Gen. Wedemeyer, who concur
red in the reporter's analysis,
in the end wired the Joint Chiefs
that such a landing ' in China
could hardly be made without
Chiang's consent, which would
not be forthcoming. No . more
was heard of the proposaLthere
after. : , .
There is still interest in this
proposal, however, in the pres

Editorial Comment
A COMEBACK FOR YELLOW?
A year ago the state highway
commission . decided to change
the color of the familiar center
stripe on Oregon roadways from
yellow to white. This was done,
we were told, to bring Oregon
practice into conformity with
that over the rest of the nation,
so that visiting motorists would
not be confused by a , marking
system unfamiliar to them. .
At the same time it was decid
ed, the new white stripes should
be broken instead of continuous.
It was felt motorists on foggy
nights might be able to distin
guish broken stripes better than
an endless white line blending
into the mists ahead. Besides, it
would save a lot of .paint.
So all this past summer, Mr.
Baldock's pavement Picassos
have been busy marking dotted
lines down the middles of Ore
gon highways. Now that the
rainy season is upon us, motor
ists nave had a chance to test
the new theories in practice. A
good many have reported their
personal findings to us, and we
regret to inform the highway de
partment that they are univer
sally negative. No one seems to
have a good word to say for the
new white broken lines.
Even under the best condi
tions, we are told, the white
markings seem to lack the good
nightime visibility- of the old
yellow. And on dark and rainy
nights, the dotted lines simply
disappear in .the glare of oncom
ing headlights on the black wet
pavement. And as for economy,
we have noticed the new white
markings already . have been
most effaced on heavily traveled
roads in the Portland area.
There will be no saving if the
painting must be done twice as
often as before.
; One wonders if perhaps Ore
gon was not right in the first
place - in standardizing on the
good old continuous yellow cen
ter line. Perhaps the other states
should have i been the ones to
change. Portland Oregonian.

coast would have drawn' its
logistical support from MacAr
thur's Pacific Theater. Even
after landing in China. Stilwell
would have remained under
MacArthur's command.
The aim of the proposed land
ing by Stilwell, moreover, was
to counter a threat which Gen.
MacArthur then estimated far
"too highly. This is shown by
the papers already published by
the Pentagon, and particularly
by two key memoranda of con
versations with Gen. MacArthur
iri 1945, written by Col. Paul
Freeman Jr. and Brig. Gen.
George A. Lincoln.
In .both these contemporary
documents, Gen. MacArthur is
portrayed as warmly endorsing
very great concessions to the
Soviets in Manchuria J such
concessions, in fact,' as "were
made at . Yalta as . the worth
while price of a Soviet offensive
against the Japanese forces on
the mainland. Although Gen.
MacArthur has since declared
that he did not want a Soviet
intervention in 1945, Col. Free
man further described Gen. Mac
Arthur as strongly urging the
Soviets' ought to be persuaded
to move against the Japanese in
Manchuria at the very first pos
sible moment after the German
surrender.
T'HE reason given, in both in---
stances, : was that Gen. Mac
Arthur believed the Japanese
armies on the mainland to be
very powerful and thought they
constituted a serious menace to
the success of the landing in
Japan. The- Freeman - Lincoln
memoranda fit, in turn, with a
precisely similar account of ' a
conversation -with Gen. MacAr
thur by the late New York Her
ald Tribune correspondent, Bert
Andrews, which is preserved in
the Forrestal papers.
A question therefore" arises
about the origin of the remark
able proposal to send Gen. Stil
well and the Chinese Commu
nists against the Japanese main
land armies that were then
giving Gem MacArthur such
grave concern. Was it a mere
J.C.S. pipe dream? Were the
Joint Chiefs, who always hated
a row with Gen. MacArthur,
really proposing to divert forces
under his control, at a most
crucial moment and without his
prior concurrence? . Or had the
proposal in fact originated in
Gen. MacArthur's ow,n head
quarters, as seems more natural.
These questions also deserve
answers.

Is That So?
Through the years our lan
guage has been enriched with
spicy, earthy phrases taken from
the outdoors. For your pleasure
I have tried to trace back some
of their origins. 1 .
Cry havoc: The wofd havoc
comes from the Anglo-Saxon
word meaning hawk, or "hafoc."
In the days when hawking was
a popular sport in England it
was customary to "cry havoc" or
shout encouragement to the
hawk when loosed upon its
prey. From this we get the mod
ern meaning, to forecast ruin.
Watered stock: Daniel Drew,
a smart rancher, drove cattle in
the early days into New York
City to sell. Once they reached
New York, he fed them lots of
salt and they responded by-
drinking their heads off and fill
ing' up 'with water wnicn in
creased their weight, which in
turn spelled handsome profits.
Hence the term for overvalued
stock today: "watered stock."
Crocodile 'tears: While devour
ing oversized chunks of his vic
tims, the crocodile is sometimes
forced to stretch his jaws which
in turn often causes his eyes to
water. - Obviously there is no
sentiment about these tears. And
so we use the expression today
for any person who, sheds false
tears, empty of real emotion.
Giving the cold shoulder: This
phrase dates to medieval times
in France. Honored guests were
served hot-meat dishes, featur
ing the best meats in the chat
eau. But when guests overstayed
or unpopular guests arrived,
their host literally gave them a
"cold shoulder" cut of beef or
mutton. - -
Hitch-hiker: This term may
have come from colonial days.
When two me'n, with only one
horse between them, went on a
journey, one man would mount
and ride an . allotted distance,
dismount, hitch the horse to a
tree or fence and proceed on
foot. The other man would walk
until he came to the horse, then
ride on until he caught up with
the hiker, or take a hitch to the
hiker. '-.
- Honeymoon: This word may
have derived from an ancient
European custom which decreed
that newly married couples
drink a wine made from honey
for a "moon," lasting four weeks,
after the marriage. - '
Bullpen: In getting ready for
Phone Workers
