Tht Dread id Beola WE are now In the 10th year of Hitler' Influence oil world affairs. Doddering president Hindenburg handed over the pow er to Hitler ia Germany an Jan. 30, 1933. Only a very lew people sub pocted at the time Just what It would mean to the world. To the great majority, even tn Germany, It seemed that Hitler's accession to power was a grotesque acci dent; that the man's essential ri diculousness would soon .disgust even his .own followers, his all-, urc would soon ibe apparent, the Incident would pass. ' i "Give us lour years," he cried, "and then pass judgment on us." The four years came and went, .and at their nd Germany had :; boon stripped .ol all that remained .of Its power ,to pass judgment on Anything. . A , whole people had been already so deeply channel d into the groove -that led (to world war that there was no es cape. Under whip and lush .a taint simulacrum of prosperity ;had been established, hased solely an the building of a vast military .establishment whose sole possible purpose the world obstinately re' fused to see. The Germans have had not tour .years of Millar, but wins, and the aoth year has begun, the ilast 'two and a half of which have ibocn ycara of war. lttler has succeed ed lo muklng his ten years into a Shambles that historians may well jwftsr to as -the preadful Decade. Celebrating the beginning ol that ,10th year, Hitler was no longer able to promise his people asy and certain victory, as he bad :SO often done before. No mind J'cmalns even in benighted Germany so simple as to .behove that ithe road ito Carman vlatory Is the kind of road that ied to Austria, or Czechoslovakia, or Po land, or even to France, Norway, the Low Countries and Greece. It Is quite a -different road and a load which every German must contemplate with horror.' The whole world was willing to sec a few small countries de spoiled. It swallowed the succes sive conquests of Manchuria, and Ethlonia. and Austria, and Czechoslovakia. The world was . patient too patient, perhaps, hut It was patient. There was an end to its PB-: idence, however, when it bocume clear that there was no end to the rapacity of Germany and Italy and Japan. Now the whole world is fast uniting to Insist with all its .coordinated might that the next decade must be better than the dreadful one. On Jan. 30, J943, Hitler, If he should live so long, will have .com pleted his dccatle. What Is done between now and then will de termine whether the next decade shall be one of sunrise or sunset lor hue and .cullghteiied .civilian lion. tie Mar Smugness ASSOCIATE Justice Roberts of the U. S. Supreme Court has had a ringside .view of American self-complacency at Its worst, and It astonished him. Following the carelul Investigation of his com mittee Into the disaster at lVarl Harbor, the Justice said: "J. cannot understand the smug ness of the .United Slates. I can nut understand Its complacency." That there was little enough lt-ason Xur It, events proved. But have we completely lost It? Are there not people who still say, "Wait till 1M3, then we can win In a walk?" or "Let's beat the Japs; Hitler can't touch us then,' while submarines lurk off .every large American port city. ,3mugness Is not dead, though it Is dying. 4ii) we not smuthur it before some more terrible dis aster comes to stamp out the last truce of It In our midst?

Through out the centuries the cnurcn has sought to make every day a better day, a day filled with more hope, more cheer, more love, more helpfulness.

(AP) A navy tug wallowed In an offshore swell, directly In line of fire ot Japanese warships attack ing Midway Island at the out break of the Pacific war. Shells landed in the lagoon and skittered across the surface like rocks skipping across a pond, some passing so close to the tug they splashed water on deck. The role of the tug In guiding an American clipper plane, flee ing com Wake island, safely to port at Midway in the thick of a (ii'.ice night naval battle Decem ber 7 was told today by a crew man, E. J. Johnson, 26, civilian worker who later was evacuated irom the Pacific .war zone. "Our tug showed the only light ;in the entire action a 'range light, to point out the landing lane to clipper's pilot," Johnson said. "A vicious cross-fire of ma chine gun bullets and naval artil lery shells was whistling through the air near the tug and over the -enplane landing area. "The clipper came over on two motors. We were expecting Ja panese bombers, but luridly the murines held their fire. "Sighting our lights, the pilot brought the clipper down In a steeu dive from about 30 feet In I the most beautiful piece of flying j you ever saw. "He actually pancaked the big flying bont into the lagoon. Its hull smacked against the water like a gunshot." Johnson, from Grants Pass, Ore., was commended by Pan American airways for his skill In operating the tug in the action California Asks Funds To frotect Timber Area REDDING, Calif., Feb. 0.

Ashland dominated the rst 4iffl,f as they ran up & J.0-8 fluiirtcr score and an 18-13 hall-time advantage. This score was due mainly to the Irft-and-rteht handed shots of samueison, flLrrununve- Asniana forward -who dropped In 14 points during the game. Jack Loomls led local scoring as he used his height- to great advantage In dropping in 15 points.

', local Rainfall Shows an Excess i Although rainfall for the mpnth of January .was below normal, total precipitation since the beginning ot the wet season measured irom Sept. 1, 1941, showed ,an excess of 4.09 inches on Jan. 31, according to ithe monthly meteorological summary compiled by . J. C. McCallister, meteorologist in charge of the lo cal office of the U. S. weather bureau. Due to wartime restric tions, a period of one week must elapse before weather informa tion can be released for publica tion. The information contained In the summary submitted by Mr. McCallister covers condi tions only lor the month of January. Total precipitation for the montn was 4.1U. incnes as com pared with a January normal of 5:31 inches, a deficiency of .1.12 inches-. The totaLf rom Sept. 1 to Jan. 31, inclusive, however, was 23.28 inches, 4.0S in excess of the normal for that period. . ; . January temperature-was con siderably above normal, showing a daily average departure of 1.9 degrees above the average. The warmest temperature recorded was 63 dgrecs on the 22nd and the coldest was 17 degrees on the first day -of the month. The av erage hourly wind velocity was 3,2 miles per hour. -, Probable Realty Trends Discussed at Meet Here Probable trends In real estate activities during the war period were discussed here Saturday at a meeting of local agents with the officers of the Oregon State Realtors association and Claude Murphy, Salem, state real estate commissioner. Millard C. Hol hrook. president; M. Thomas Stoddard, treasurer, and Larry W. Borne, secretary, all of Port land, representing the state asso ciation, were in attendance. The conference followed a luncheon at the Umpqua hotel. Considerable discussion was held regarding matters to be brought before the annual state convention to be held at Klamath Falls in August. C.

Defeats U. of 0. tBy the Associated Press) The anything can-happen stage has officially been reached in the northern division of the Pacific coast conierence basketball race. Washington State Cplege made it official Saturday flight by beating Washington, 54-43, for the second straight game; and Ore gon State helped )t along with a 50-39 win over ,Oregqn- The result was that W- S. G. stood at the top of -the division standings,' a half-game ahead of Vishington and O. S. C. tied for second. And the schedule looked like rough sailing for almost ev erybody from here on. For example, Washington, which now has lost the lour games which tradition says is the maximum fpr any team wishing to vln the northern division title, has to fight off Idaho tonight and tomorrow. The Huskies have two victories over Idaho, but those vie tories were earned , in Seattle Playing in Moscow Is .anoth kettle of halibut entirely. Siml larly, Washington State can be very happy about Its league lead until Saturday. Then it must fin ish off the seasons series with Idaho, which has already beaten the Cougars in one of, their three previous meetings. Oregon State, which thinks second place very nice at the moment, will have to convince Oregon that It be longs there in a double-header Friday and Saturday. The Eugene Corvallis score is a game each to date. From the bomb cellar, the most interesting series on the horizon appeared to be a two-game meet ing at Seattle on February 27-28. It could be that this series would decide where the uneasy division, crown will sit this year. 'j Daylight Saying To Last for War WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. (AP) The nation went on "war time" today, with all official clocks moved atlead one hour ,for the duration. The changeover was somewhat comparable to the action taken by other belligerent nations when the war 1 began more than two years ago, and goes a step farther , than "daylight saving" time es tablished in the last war. In that conflict, this nation . moved lis clocks up only from March to October. "War time" President Roose velt so named it became effec tive by law at 2 a. m., standard time in each of the lour tinyj zones which divide the country J Transportation services imu the radio industry looked for lit tle confusion. Indeed, they have been advocating the nation-wide step or. a year 'round basis to supplant summer daylight t'me observance spotted oyer the country. Proponents of the measure, in cluding President Roosevelt, have asserted that the advanced time wopld contribute to the nation's available electric power supply by leveling off some of the de mand peaks.
