Yes terday the president vetoed the: defense highways bill. Today there is small llkeiinoou mat tne Cottage Grove-Grants Pass bot tle neck will be removed. Under the present necessary snail-like pace of rebuilding more than 20 years will be required to do tne Job. The defense program could have completed the work in a year. There can bo no adequate de fense of the Pacific coast until men and equipment can be quickly moved to any point on the coast. The U. S. 99 cork screw between here and the Cali fornia line or to the foot of the Sisklyous Is a positive barrier to any quick and efficient move ment -of troops. Recent troop movements prove that statement. 11 Is slow and dangerous. Congress recognized the need for federal defense highways. The bill was quickly passed by both houses. It provided for appropriations totaling $320,000, 000. Compared with other de fense Items that sum of money is pin money.- It Is petty cash. And yot of all the delense program It represented the only expendi ture (other than money spent for merchant ships) that has an Important peace time value. . All other defense spending Is for war and for war only. But the defense highways bill was vetoed. The president says that the roads shall not be built. He objects to the manner of al locating the funds. The alloca tion plan was definitely provided In the bill. He demands the right to say where and when the defense highway funds shall be spent. He states that he will not approve such funds being distributed prorata among the states. This is a reasonable contention. This appropriation should he no pork barrel. Highways for de fense should be built where they are needed for defense. Con gressmen, looking to elections next year, all want a share for their districts. They wrote that thought into the bill. The result Is the entire piece of legislation Is dead. Giving the congress the bene fit of the doubt, perhaps they (lid not want the president to have the entire say on the appropria tion. Perhaps they think his power already too great. As a compromise we suggest the bill be repassed meeting the president part way. Let congress obtain from the army a list of necessary defense routes. Let them then write Into the defense highways bill exactly where the money is to be siM'nt. Let this I be done according to Hie army's estimate of defense necessities. Then we shall have a genuine de fense highway program. .Such n program would be streamlined for defense needs. It would not then represent a pork-barrel spending spree for anyone.

It closes the doors tonight (Sat urday) on a $250,000,000 industry. It will end present employment for 175,000 or more American silk workers. It marks the approaching end of silk hose wearing lor Amerl' can women. The war, you see, has teeth. 'THE primary purpose of the V silk order is to close a mar ket that has provided Japan with $100,000,00 In cash or credits an nually.) AS to silk hose deprivation: This writer doesn't wear silk stockings. But if he did he would buy and wear them NORMALLY until stocks are ex hausted and woulrt then buv and wear WHATEVER IS BEING WORN. . CILK stockings are a FASHION like silk neckties for men. As long as everyone wears them, everyone WANTS to wear them for failure to appear In public with legs fashionably clad in silk is an admission cither of oddity or of financial strin gency. No American woman wants to admit that she is cither odd or poverty-stricken. But when silk stockings are no longer obtainable because of lack of silk SOMETHING ELSE will become the fashion, and will then be the thing to wear lust as silk is the thing now. At least that is the way it ap pears to a mere man. CO the deprivation won't really bo as serious as at first glance it annears to he. It is 1 merely one of many adantations we will be called up to make. The real blow at the moment oss 0r employment by silk workers. IECISION to throw 175,000 " people out of work (until something else can bo found for them to do) is an unmistakable sign that, the government of the United Slates means business.

By JUDSON BAILEY (Associated Press Sports Writer) The Brooklyn Dodgers, after floundering around the west for several days, managed to return with a four-game winning streak and last night they promptly made it five by overwhelming the New York Giants, 11-6. The Dodgers are back In stride. Both Wyatt and Klgbc have be come winning pitchers again. Ca- miin nas. regained his batting eye, hitting over .400 since his visit to a hospital. And the whole club has regained the drive which characterized it at the start of the season. The St. Louis Cardinals yester day cuffed the Cubs, 4-2, all right, hut they lost the services of their keystone star, Frank Crospl, who was hit in the face by a line-drive, during pre-game practice. If hq were lost for any length of time now Hi would be a hard blow. They got along without him yesterday because Lefty Ernie White pitched seven-hit ball to gain his 13th. victory, his sixth in 17 days. In the only other National league contest Lannlng held the Cincinnati Reds to three hits while the Pittsburgh Pirates plowed to a 4-1 triumph.
