Wartime Recollections
Onhe nictt of Sept. 9. 1942. Wan-ant Offi
cer Nobuo Fujita of the
tooK oil rrom beside a submarine in a little iloat
equipped seaplane. He flew fnland over southern
Oregon and dropped a bomb in forested country
east of Brookings and south of Mt. Emily.
The objective was to start a forest fire. This
the bomb did, but it was a small one and was
quickly extinguished by forest service crews.
Where else did Warrant Officer Fujita fly
that night? Only he knows, and perhaps even he
doesn't know for sure.
A LMOST 20 years after that event the only
aerial bombing of continental American soil
during World War II Fujita, now a Tsuchiura
businessman, returned to southern Oregon, this
time as a guest. He was invited by the Brookings
Junior Chamber of Commerce, and attended the
Azalea festival last week end.
The visit was a success, and contributed its
bit to international understanding and good will.
It also stirred some memories in Jackson
county, memories which lead to speculation as to
whether the little enemy plane flew further in
land than reported before.
MR. C. E. Stevenson of Central Point recalls,
AVA during those war years, that forest lookouts
were also plane-spotters for our defense networks.
He also recalls a considerable amount of talk
among forest agencies, on that September night
20 years ago, about an unidentified small plane
that flew in from the west, and was heard and
reported by a number of lookout stations before
it turned and flew westward again.
Ine night was cloudy
son recalls, so the plane
recalls that it was said to
Other memories, perhaps dimmed by 20
years, are not so certain ot the circumstances.
Some of those involved recall that there were
many unidentified planes reported from lookouts.
Others have vague recollections of the night, but
are not willing to state unequivocally that such
an event did take place on that specific night, or
even that it could have been Fujita's little float
plane. CO the incident, if it did happen, must remain
in the realm of speculation, and in the memo
ries of those, including Fujita, who recall the in
cident if such it was 20 long years ago.
Such speculation also recalls one of the better-kept
secrets of the war in Oregon the Japa
nese fire bombs which were sent aloft attached
to paper balloons, and allowed to drift with the
prevailing winds across the Pacific
Many of them arrived, but they did not ac
complish their objective of setting the forest
afire, and voluntary secrecy on the part of the
press (which knew about the balloon-bombs)
prevented Japan from knowing whether the bal
loons ever reached these coasts.
"NE of the bombs did cause casualties, how
ever, perhaps the only deaths attributable to
enemy action in the continental United States
during the war.
A church group on

Jacksonville Museum Month
Nearly a half-million
Jacksonville Museum since it was opened some
years ago.
I he number is increasing, year by year, as
word gets around about the excellent displays
and fine records of by-gone clays of the Rogue
valley.
In an attempt to further acquaint others with
the museum and its contents, the Southern Ore
gon Historical Society has named June as "Jack
sonville Museum Month," and is encouraging
both local residents and tourists to visit the Mu
seum during that period.
THE building itself, which was the Jackson
county courthouse from 18S4 until 192S, is of
major historical interest, evoking, as it does,
memories of long-past trials and political crises.
The displays cover a wide range, from some
of the native rocks and minerals which glow in
a rainbow variety under fluorescent lights, to old
vehicles, guns, furniture, clothing, pictures and
many other memorabilia of days gone by.
The museum belongs to Jackson county, and
is operated for the county by the Historical So
ciety. It is financed by a continuing small tax
levy, voted by the people. Admission is free.
CHOULD you take advantage of the invitation
to visit the museum, you would also be doing
yourself a favor to inspect many of the other his
toric sites in the pioneer community of Jackson
ville. The Beekman house, which opened to the
public yesterday, is a fine example of a house and
furnishings common early in the century. The
U. S. hotel, now undergoing rennovation. 'is well
worth a look, as arc many of the other old build
ings in the community.
And for history buffs, a stroll around the
Jacksonville Pioneer Cemetery, dating from the
lSliOs, is a must.

Matter of Fact
(e) New York Herald
COMMON HORSE SENSE
Washington - Before very
long, with a minimum of fan
fare, the House Ways and
Means Com
mitee will ap
prove the
P r e s i d ent's
massive, bold
ly innovating
trade bill. A
favorable
committee ma
jority of no
less than 20
AUnp votes to 5 is
now predicted.
The House should then pass
the bill by about the middle
of June. In the Senate, where
the Finance Committee is a
major, distinctly obstinate
bottleneck, action may be long
delayed. There is also a slight
risk that the troubles in the
Western Alliance may feed
back into the trade bill debate
before the Senate acts. But as
of now, the bill is known to
command a substantial Senate
majority.
Such, in brief, is the present
status of the biggest, most con
troversial item of the Ken
nedy legislative program,
whose primary importance
the President has taken much
care to underline.
UNFORTUNATELY, the ab
sence of trouble is seldom
treated as noteworthy. Hence
less and less attention has
been paid to the progress of
the trade bill, as its passage
through the Congressional
reefs and shallows has come
to look more and more tran
quil and secure. For any ser
ious student of politics, how
ever, tile hopeful present stat
us of the Kennedy trade bill is
not merely noteworthy. At
first glance, it is downright
bewildering.
After all, this new bill,
aimed to allow the President
to bargain out a fruitful trad
ing relationship with the
European Common Market, is
a measure that goes vastly
further than the old Recipro
cal Trade Law ever went. Yet
each successive Congressional
renewal of the President's au
thority under the Reciprocal
Trade Law was a bitter, cliff
hanging fight, in which the
outcome usually seemed to be
in doubt until the very last
vote was cast.
Remembering all this, one
of the trade bill's chief pro
ponents In the Executive
branch, Under Secretary of
Slate George Ball, actually op
posed presentation of the bill
at this session. Ball argued
that there was no hope of vic
tory, and that a defeat would
do much harm abroad.
riMIE President overrode Ball,
A mainly on the contrary
advice of the astute Chairman
of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, Wilbur Mills. Even so,
a major factor in the Presi
dent's decision was the argu
ment that even if the bill did
not pass this year, it was need
ful to open the national de
bate in order to secure a ma
jority next year. What then
has happened to produce the
present result, which was
foreseen by almost no one
but Hop. Mills?
Among the keys to the mys
tery, first place must certain
ly lie accorded the President's I
exceptional success in giving I
the country the sense of hav- j
ing reached a moment of ma-1
Jor national choice. In his mes
sages to Congress, In his
speeches to business organua- j
tions. and on every other oc-1
casion, he lias hammered
homo this "trade or fade" j
choice.
Somehow, the electorate in t
general and the business com
munity in particular have
l-een persuaded that the
choice w as serious and mi- j
avoidable. This is, in truth,
tin- President's major success
in the a: of political persua-
sinn since he 'ook office. If it
had not been for this success,
the petty protectionist Inter-1
irt-Ain. wow- mt

ests with strong local leverage
would have been the people
who got the friendliest hear
ing on Capitol Hill.
Then, too, both Rep. Mills
and the President have made
special efforts to calm and
soothe the opposition. The
President has spent much time
conciliating the leaders of big
industries, such as oil and tex
tiles, who might have thrown
a heavy weight against the
bill. The Textile Manufactur
ers Association actually ended
by endorsing the measure-a
remarkable step.
TN THIS respect the progress
1 of the trade bill has been
like the Sherlock Holmes
story. In which the dog's fail
ure to bark was a major clue.
Add to this that Rep. Mills's
committee management o f
this extremely complex and
difficult piece of legislation,
has been a model for all com
mittee chairmen with big jobs
on their hands. Add further
that the trade bill is just about
the only item on the Kennedy
program which House Repub
lican Leader Charles Halleck
has not made a partisan issue.
These are the chief tangible
reasons why the bill is in
good shape. There are also
two intangibles. One is de
pressing. The country and the
Congress alike are over-optimistic,
in the sense that they
are obviously unprepared for
the skinflint bargaining ap
proach which the Europeans
will surely adopt when the
trade bill passes. But the
other intangible is cheering.
It was well summed up by
Wilbur Mills, who had Uiis
apophthegm:
"Remember to credit the
American people with a lot of
good, common horse sense."

STAGNATION AND
THE STOCK MARKET
Prices on the stock market
have been falling sharply
since the middle of March,
and it is dif
ficult to be
lieve that the
heavy selling
is merely a
technical
"correct ion1
which will
soon end. It is
said in offici-
a 1 circles l n
Lippmann
Was hington.
and indeed it has been said
by the President himself, that
the outlook for business is
good and does not justify the
pessimism of the stock mar
ket. But there are reasons
for thinking that this is too
rosy a view.
Others are saying, particu
larly in Republican partisan
circles, that the slump is due
to a loss of confidence by
businessmen ever since the
President cracked down on
Mr. Blough and the increase
in the price of steel. The trou
ble with this piece of partisan
mythology is that the bear
market began on March 16
and it was only on April 11 -some
26 days later - that the
President had his collision
with Mr. Blough.
rPHERE can be no doubt, of
-- course, that such massive
selling as we witnessed Mon
day is due to a loss of confi
dence by the owners in the
future prospects of their se
curities. The question is what
is causing this loss of confi
dence. The most probable answer,
it seems to me, is that there
is a loss of confidence that
the Administration is fulfill
ing the promise to bring about
something near to the full em
ployment of capital and labor
and a rising rate of economic
growth.
What the stock market is
saying, I submit, is that while
there is a considerable recov
ery from the depths of the
recession in 1961, the recov
ery is already being arrested,
although it is a long way from
being completed. With unem
ployment at 5V4 per cent and
with the utilization of steel
plants at only 60 per cent, the
American economy, although
prosperous, is in fact stag
nant. It is beginning to look as
if the Kennedy administration
were repeating the pattern of
the Eisenhower administra
tion, with its three recessions
brought on by the fact that
each recovery was throttled
down, as the only way to pre
vent inflation of prices, be
fore the recovery was com
pleted. fPHERE is mounting evidence
-- that those economists were
right who told the Adminis
tration last winter that it was
making the mistake of trying
to balance the budget too
soon. It will be said that the
budget is not balanced: it
shows a deficit in fiscal 1962
of $7 billion. And so indeed
docs THAT budget show such
a deficit. But the fact of the
matter is that what is known
as "the budget," namely the
Administrative budget, falsi
fies the relationship between
the Federal government and
the American economy.
The Administrative budget
which shows a S7 billion defi
cit deals only with the money
appropriated by Congress and
spent by the government de
partments. It leaves out the
trust funds, such as Social Se
curity and the highway funds.

Laos Now
Passed, Or
Now the word was "sta
bility." Stability in Laos, stability
along Thailand's border and
stability for all of Southeast
Asia.
Across the city in the spa
cious United States Embassy,
Ambassador Kenneth Young
speaks of it as a possibility in
five years.
"I do not expect real sta
bility In that time," he said,
"but If a major outbreak can
be prevepted for that long we
can have hope."
Bangkok,- a city of calm
after the storm, is waiting to
see if the storm has really
passed or whether this is the
storm's eye, with more to
come.
The urgency is reflected in
being withtheld for the pay
ment of taxes.
FOR the impact of the Fed
eral government on the
economy, on inflation, and de
flation, recession and reepv
ery, stagnation and growth,
the budget that matters is the
Department of Commerce
statement of Federal receipts
and expenditures as part of
the national income accounts
- that is to say, what is often
called the income and prod
ucts accounts budget. Nobody
looks at it except the econo
mists and one of the greatest
services that a public man
could perform today would
be to make the people under
stand the difference between
the two budgets. For while
the Administrative budget is
necessary for administration
and is like a man's check
book, the income budget tells
the real story of the financial
condition.
The income and product
shows that at the end of 1962
the outgo and ingo accounts
will be virtually in balance,
with a deficit of only about
half a billion dollars. Thus,
in reality, the Kennedy ad
ministration is no longer
stimulating the economy, and
the economy is stagnating for
lack of stimulation. We have
one of the lowest rates of
growth among the advanced
industrial nations of the
world.
INHERE is as yet no simple
remedy open to the Admin
istration. It is, so to speak,
between Scylla and Charybdis
- between the threat of gold
withdrawals by our foreign
creditors on the one hand
and, on the other hand, a
fierce popular dogmatism
which treats the Administra
tive budget as the absolute
measure of responsibility, re
spectability, and financial de
cency. Converging on Mr.
Kennedy, the combined influ
ence of the two has forced
him into a fiscal policy which,
as the stock market is saying,
does not work. As things are
going the stagnation which is
overtaking the recovery will
be followed by another reces
sion. It is safe to predict that if
present trends continue, the
Administration will have to
go into action. It will have
to take some of the strong
measures which it was advised
to take but did not dare to
take some seven months or so
ago. Among them, I should
guess, will be a call for a
sharp cut in the direct taxes
paid by individuals and cor
porations. If this shows up as
a considerable deficit in vari
ous budgets, but particularly
in the income budget, that
may be just the strong medi
cine that we need.
Youngster's Body
Found in Old Shaft
Ghost Pine Creek, Alta.-d'PD
-The body of Kenney Kowola
chuk, 4, was found Wednes
day night at the 54-foot level
of an abandoned coal mine
into which he fell near here
36 hours earlier.
Rescue workers who discov
ered the body said the boy's
head was covered with dirt
and that he had apparently
suffocated. Ills body was
brought to the surface in the
bucket of a crane, thus ending
a tense dramatic tragedy
which began at noon Tuesday.
The rescue team of 20 men
worked feverishlv all day to
hoist dirt fill from the nar
row shaft, which was aban
doned in 1932.
Kenny, the second young
est of 56-year-old peter Ko
walachuk's 12 children, had
been playing on a hillside

Is Worse Coming?
the daily seaborne arrival of
additional suDDlies for the
American 27th Regiment
(Wolfhounds) at Korat and the
Marines at Udorn, near the
Laotian border below Vienti
ane. It is also reflected in the
almost dally conferences
among Gen. Paul Harkins and
his military advisors as new
units arrive from Thailand's
SEATO allies.
None of this is visible in
the quiet pastel and bright
red and green elegance of
Thanat's office, nor in the at
titude of the foreign minister
himself when he received this
correspondent and UPI's
Southeast Asia manager Rob
ert Udick.
Until the Pathet Lao upset
the military balance at Nam
Tha and pushed almost to
Thailand's border, the Thai
government was quietly op
posed to Lao neutrality and
in favor of the rightwing gov
ernment under Prince Boun
Oum and Gen. Phoumi Noso-
van, who is a close relative to
Thailand's Prime Minister
Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat.
The expensive failure at Nam
Tha convinced Thailand that
it must accept neutrality, but
with no great confidence that
it would work.
Thanat ticked off other pos
sibilities: Communist take
over, which would be unac
ceptable, or status quo, which
was impossible.

By FRANK JENKINS
What happened to the stock
market Monday?
In the first two hours, sales
volume amounted to 1,890,
000 shares. In the first two
hours Tuesday the volume of
sales rose to a tremendous 3,
750,000 shares.
w
HAT started it all?
This is a widely held the-
ory:
The long bull market, one
of the longest in history, rest
ed on the assumption of con
tinued wage and price in
creases. In other words, it was
widely believed that inflation
would keep stock prices going
up and up automatically.
If that was true, stock spec
ulation was a sure road to
riches.
THERE were danger signs
in the wind. The relation
of stock prices to annual cor
porate earnings for example
was getting badly out of bal
ance. Back in 1948, slocks were
selling at about 7.2 times their
annual earnings. Just before
the big break Monday, they
were selling at nearly 20
TIMES their annual earnings.
But
They were still going up. '
Good old inflation was still
at work.
rpHEN
There came the steel inci
dent. The lesson of the steel in
cident seemed to be that
prices might not be PERMIT
TED to keep on going up and
up. There was a hint in the
steel incident that wages
might be permitted to go on
rising. In that event profits
would vanish.
If profits vanished, the
house of cards would fall.
CO-
It seems to have occurred
to a lot of people at the same
time that it might be a good
idea to SELL before all that
came to pass.
That seems to be about the
long and the short of what be

Children should not ba
urged, or pressured, to "love"
their parents; for if the love
doesn't grow naturally, no
prodding will stir it and it is
worth remembering that even
the Ten Commandments order
us simly to "honor" our par
ents, for love cannot ba
ordered.
The literary bore is the
worst of bores, for it is only
he who insists on boring
future generations with his
worlr.
. It is one of Nature's In.
evitable laws of compensation
that when she withheld wis
dom from fools, she gave
them good luck instead.
There comes a time in life
when we have to retreat in
order to advance; when wa
have to retract part of our
path in order io find the
right turning we missed
and those who cannot go
back are doomed to travel
in circles.
Most of the so-called "in
compatability" in marriage
springs from the fact that to
most men, sex is an act; while
to all women, it is an emotion.
And this difference in atti
tude can be bridged only by
love.
If we look all the hum
bug out of the world, as
we wring all tha water
out of a sponge, our daily
activities could be conclud

To young people who write
for "professional" advice, I
can only recommend the re
ply given by Mozart to a
young man wno once asKea
him how to write a symphony.
"You're still young," Mozart
said, "why not begin with bal
lads?" "But you composed
symphonies when you were
10 years old," the lad insisted.
"True," admitted Mozart,
"but I didn't ask how."
Nobody is harder to pity
than the self-pitier which
is something he never
learns his whole life long.
When a man needs to re
capitulate his ideas by saying,
"In other words . . ." we gen
erally find that his explana
tion requires an explanation.
The road to Hell is paved
with inattentions; surely
more sins are committed
through neglect than
through calculated purpose.
The first rule for writing a
truly effective letter of recom
mendation is not to know the
person very well, so that
one's imagination is uncon
fined by harsh reality.
What the paransid calls
a "lie" is any painful truth
and who is to say we are
not all a little paranoid in
that direction?
We make positive judge
ments about men, and nega
tive judgements about wom
en, in the sense that a good
man is known by what he
does, but a good woman is
known by what she doesn't
do.
