November 18, 1941. THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE TWO COLLIER LAUDS DRAFTEE SPIRIT IN TALK HERE The excellent attitude of Klamath's young men toward the selective service act may be attributed in part to the com munity's spirit, Captain Alfred Collier, secretary of Board No. 1, told the Kiwanis club in a talk at the club's Thursday noon luncheon at the Willard. "Klamath has shown it is be hind the selective service idea and has cooperated wholeheart edly in administration of the ' act, said Captain Collier. A majority of young men called by the draft have accept ed this as a duty of citizenship and have gone into the service determined to get something worth while out of it, the speak' er stated. There -have been virtually no attempts at evasion of the draft call, said Collier. He advised the general public to treat soldiers with the respect and honor due men who are making a sacrifice for the de fense of their country. "If you treat them like men of honor, he said, ''they will be men of honor. If you treat them like scum, the chances are many of them will be just that." He paid tribute to Klamath's attl- tude toward the men in the de fense forces. Captain Collier went into the history of conscription, noting that Napoleon set the stage for the modern draft when he com. manded that every Frenchman give five year's of service in the armed forces. Both north and south used the draft in the Amer ican Civil war, and in New York there were riots that cost the lives of 1000 men and more than a million dollars in property damage. The World war draft and the present selective service pro gram, Collier pointed out, differ from previous conscription in that they are administered by civilians. The local boards, he declared. endeavor to treat everybody alike, without fear or favor. He paid tribute to local physicians and to legal advisors for the as sistance they have given. Turning to the general aspects of the present world situation, oiner saia: "For me you can'; say .that Americans won the World war. I was there and J saw it hap pen . . . it looks to me as if it is again coming to the point where we will have to step in and take over ... I think Americans like the home folks and would rath er fight their battles on some body else's ground. ... I urge that Americans forget their dif ferences, and rise as a united people to the destiny set for them." 9 . Captain Collier, introduced Presidents C. O.. Dryden and Fred Heilbronner of the- local draft boards, and Major Ted Case, the clerk of the two boards. Chairman of the day was K. A. Moore. It was announced the Kiwan ians meet next Tuesday with the Lions club, with Willard Ward as chairman. U. O.

"Judging by all recent experi ence, we could, all of us, look forward to enthusiastic applause in those three nations based on the claim that the United States is disunited as they have so often prophesied." The president took the oppor tunity of mentioning, too. that failure of the house to take fa vorable action on the senate amendments would also weaken our domestic situation. He wrote his house leaders that such failure would weaken the nation's efforts to produce all It could as rapidly as possible and remarked that strikes and stoppages of work would be come less serious in the mind of the public. T Eugene Hugn Smith, the Med- ford man who was sentenced to five years in prison in the Marie Russell death case, will probably be taken to the penitentiary at Salem early next week, accord ing to Sheriff Lloyd Low. Smith is being held in the county jail. The 29-year-old prisoner, wno drove the car from which Miss Russell fell on October 25, was subjected to further questioning Thursday in an effort to trace Miss Russell's handbag. When the girl got into Smith s car on North Ninth street at his invitation, she carried a handbag and a parcel containing red suit soods. She fell from tne car near Wocus on The Dalles-Cali fornia highway north. A state highway employe later found the parcel of suit goods on the Algoma fill, farther north on The Dalles-California high way. The handbag was not found. A Chiloquin man, from whom Smith attempted to buy gas on the same, afternoon, tofd inves tigators he remembers seeing a small zipper-type bag on the floor of Smith's car. Whether the bag was thrown from Smith's car at the time the parcel went out. or was taken on north, is the question which interests of ficers. The bag conained about S1.50 in change. According to a check of Smith's actions made by Mack Lillard, investigator for the district at torney's office, the Medford man stopped at Klamath Agency, Chiloquin, Fort Klamath and Rocky Point resort, after the in cident at Wocus, Smith attempt ed to cash a check at a number of places, ostensibly to buy gas, and finally at Chiloquin he "hocked" a rifle from his car in order to get gas money. At Fort Klamath, Smith has been virtually identified as a man who asked the way to Med ford by way of the Lake o' the Woods road, which could take him back to his home without returning through Wocus and Klamath Falls. When it was sug gested he go by way of Crater lake, he indicated he did not want to go back that way. The fact he was later seen at Rocky Point indicates Smith may nave gone home by way of Lake o' the Woods. When his story was related in court. Wednesday, it was not stated by what route he returned to Medford. Honesty is the cement of n. ciety. The Rev. Frank M. Shel- don of Milwaukee.
