- Why We Art Rationed
' ""PHE 'American people are in-
dulglng In unrealism today
which is going to add to the un
pleasantness of tomorrow, Even
after Pearl Harbor, Bataan, Singa
pore, Burma, we insist upon
pampering ourselves with the
narcotic of wishful thinking.
Specifically, to take current il
lustrations, there arc the matters
of automobiles and of sugar.
With all that has been said and
written, the average man still ap
pears to believe that the lire
shortage will be relieved soon by
a huge output of synthetic lub
ber; that there is no need for
severe restriction upon gasoline,
and so this will be lifted as soon
as a few dunderheads in Wash
ington have been rebuked scath
ingly. The same is true of sugar. We
have been told, truthfully, that
enough sugar is available to fill
our national sweet tooth to ov
erflowing. There are stories, be
lieved If not true, that In Puerto
Rico sugar cane is rotting un
cut. Ergo, we are being victimiz
ed by some bureaucrat in the
capital.
The Lord knows there are bu
reaucrats enough on the Poto
mac. But that Is another storjjr
which doesn t affect inc,oaiti, un
pleasant truth. t ;
Tires, gasoline, sugar arc ban
ned1 or rationed because there is
no other way of beating Hitler
and the Japs. In all probability
they will be banned, or rationed
until the war is over.
He who plans on any other bas
is Is blowing soap bubbles of the
flimsiest type. He'll be very sad
when they burst.
Everybody realizes that tires
are cut of because we can't get
rubber (o make more.. As for
synthetics ... 7
We're so short" of steel, already,
that we're struggling to keep ar
mament and munitions produc
tion booming. Wo are forced to
divert some of that steel to con
struct plants in which to make
enough synthetic rubber for mili
tary use.
Is it sensible to suppose that
any sane government will pull
more steel out of war production
just so wc can have tires for plea
sure automobiles?
Everybody knows Hits country
has more petroleum than wc can
use for generations to come.
But neither crude nor even
gasoline helps unless It can be
brought to our lining stations.
War use and sinkings have de
pleted our tanker fleet. The rail
roads arc handling all (he oil and
gasoline they possibly can.
Moreover, as a recent Wash
ington statement said perfectly:
"it Is unbelievable that sailors be
asked to take the risk of going
down on a burning ship in order
that someone may have gasoline
to go to a bridge party or the ball
game."
Everybody knows there is plen
ty of sugar. But where? In Cuba.
In Puerto Rico. In Hawaii. Are
wo going to ask sailors to risk
submarines to bring us a second
spoonful of sugar for our coffee?
Are wc going to let armament
and munitions lie in factories un
used, so that railroads may haul
Cuban sweetening from Florida
for our gustatory delight?
The War Production Board says
No. Those shortages are here
for the duration of tho war. If
wo don't like them, we might get
busier and shorten the war.
Holding the Bag
TTHE Reconstruction Finance
Corporation's willingness to
take unsalable automobiles, tires,
refrigerators, etc., off the hands
of manufacturers is a commend
able step toward relief ot an ex
tremely hard-hit class of little
business men.
The real beneficiaries will be
the distributors. Having been de
prived of their normal means of
livelihood, these distributors
should not have their capital, in
cluding loans on which they must
pay Interest, tied up indefinitely.
Daffy, Eh, What?
CURST the boys from the coun
try come to the city, to work
in factories. Then there Isn't
enough help to ' plant, cultivate
and market food crops. So Uncle
Sam goes to the cities to find
men to send back to the farms to
do the work there.
Probably it is inevitable. But
it sounds more than a little daffy,
doesn't it?

pHURCHILL and FDR are said
to have received these sug

T Is safe to expect many such
peace feelers from Hitler, who
would like nothing better than to
quit with tho swag he already
has.
INTERESTING slant to the ru
mor: Germany is said to have refer
red to assistance she is prepared
to give the allies to "drive Jap
an back to her natural limits."
(As a curious coincidence, the
Berlin radio has referred three
times lately to "the axis powers

officially a part of the Berlin-
Rome-Tokyo bloc.)

Still, ."this writer has a notion
that .) Hitler ;would cut .Japan's
throat in an Instant and without

do so.
And vice versa.
WATCH what Japan does about

If Hitler Is half as hard press

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 4
Every physician, dentist and
veterinarian in the Pacific north
west (excepting those 65 years
and over) has registered, giving
his name, age and occupation.
The army has its eye on them
and intends using all that can be
spared from attending civilians
and, if necessary, the needs of
Civilians will be ignored until the
army Is supplied. In each state
there Is a chairman who will cer
tify the doctors in his area to the
army medical recruiting board.
The board has authority to of
fer and give commissions to phy
sicians who aro under 45 years.
It- the physician has a growing
practice which he docs not wish
to abandon the board will toil
him gently but firmly that later
he may be drafted. In which event
he will take a lowly position and
no commission. A physichn can
accent a commission and leave
hbs practice or he can refuse it
,v;d be grabbed later. Commis
sions will be offered to 16,000,
the first 5,000 to be propositioned
as quickly as possible.
Next to physicians, the army
i.eeds dentists and veteranarians
and these also will bo givon the
alternative of a commission or
being drafted. Considering the
nodical men already in the army
and navy, the new demands will
still lurlher reduce the ivimhei
available In the smaller communi
ties, which already have been
hard nit.
Bolatcd "Surprise"
Aniuuiicement that Amciium
troops i:ave been landed on New
Caledonia, on the supply line lo
Australia, caused a stir interna
tionally a few days ago, but s
ix matter of fact the island has
lien occupied by American sol
diers for months and since late
last year the best equipment
America could produce has been
rent there out of Pacific coast
l-o: ts. Officers handling this in
stallation and who have been
working in secret were as sur
prised as the general public when
the announcement was made.
Cargoes of chromite, before the
war, were brought from New
Caledonia to add to northwes;
stockpiles.
Paul McNutl, in charge ot the
man-power commission, jav i
new angle to the "work or fight"
policy when he stated that men
in the draft class with a 3 A de
terment rating and who are now
in non essential work, will volun
tarily move into tho army. 'What
this means Is that those in this
category will have to find wnr
work in a shipyard, an airplane
factory or some other war Indus
try. Stoop-Labor Wanted
It Is asserted lliat 3"0,000 re
frigerator cars of perishable ve
getahles may be lost In California
beiorc September 15, not Includ
ing the grains. A similar situa
tion exists In Washington and
Oregon though on smaller scale.
This carload business ts the out
put of Japanes farmers, almost
all of whom have been moved
from the land. No white men.
Okies or others, will work tiie
thousands of acres. The crops re
quire sloop-labor, squatting ever
each vegetable, a task the Japan
's-!; do not consider dliflcuit at I
they have tquatted In the fields
WHY MOTHERS GET GRAY
for thousands of years.
It has been suggested to Gener
al DeWltte, commander of the
ninth corps area, that Mexicans
be brought In to handle the back
breaking crops. Most of the land
has been operated by these Nip
ponese aliens under lease, or
bought in the name of a minor
child. Unless the Japanese can
continue with the crops, or stoop
labor found, the produce will be
lost. One thing appears certain
there will be a substantial short
age of canned asparagus this
year due to the Japanese situa
tion. - NOTICE

ener, in which only three play
ers got as far as third base.
San Francisco and Sacramento
split their Sunday games, saw
San Francisco winning tlje first,
7 to 1, Sacramento the second, i
to 0. The Seals remained secure
ly in the cellar.

R. H. S. Athletes
Break Even With
Grants Pass Foes
Locals Tie In Track Events,
Win in Tennis Matches, But
Lose In Baseball Contest
(By Mickey Campbell)
Roseburg high school athletic
teams completed a busy day last
Saturday afternoon as they turn
ed In a record of one win, one tie,
and one loss over Grants Pass
teams. The local tennis team op
ened the day's engagements with
a 5-2 victory over the Cavemen,
then the tracksters turned in ihe
unusual feat of a tie score at 61
points each- The baseball players
dropped a hotly contested 8-in-ning
tiff with Grants Pass 5-4.
The weather cleared up suffi
ciently to allow all of these events
to be run off during the day.
The tennis team, after being
rained out on Friday, played
Grants Pass Saturday morning
and duplicated an earlier score by
winning five of the seven match
es. Ihe locals lost two singles
matches. This gives the local
team two victories in two starts.
Scores of the matches: Cum
mlngs (R) defeated Harvard (G.
P.), 6-4, 8-6; Campbell (R) de
feated Strowbridge (G.P.), 6-4,
6-3; Ness (R.) defeated Everton
(G. P.) 6-3. 6-1; Collie (G.P.) de
feated Clark (R.), 6-2, 11-9; Cal
vert (G.P.) defeated Maulding
(R.), 61- 6-4. Doubles matches:
Ness and Cummlngs (R.) defeat
ed Havard and Strowbridge (G.
P.), 6-4, 3-6, 6-4; Clark and Camp
bell (R.) defeated Everton and
Collie (G.P.), 6-4, 6-1.
Upset In Track Card
The Roseburg tracksters turn
ed in a startling upset to nearly
defeat Grants Pass but came out
with a tie score of 61 points each.
As far as could be learned this
was the first tie meet which has
ever been recorded in this part
of the state at least for local
teams. Roseburg dominated the
first place spots, winning nine out
of fourteen possible first, 4 sec
onds, and 4 thirds. Grants Pass
took enough seconds and thirds
to close the gap winning five
events, taking 10 seconds, and 10
thirds. The visitors lead through
out the race until the final relay,
which beat Roseburg in their
meet last week with Cottage
Grove, but Roseburg won this re
lay to tie the count. Bert Young,
local star, was the stand-out of
the meet as he personally ac
counted for 261 points by virtue
of five firsts and running anchor
lap in tpe winning relay quartet.
Young won the 440, 220, broad
jump, football pass, and football
punt. For Grants Pass Allison,
distance runner, displayed out
standing ability as he easily walk
ed off with the mile, and 880, as
well as placing third in the dis
cuss and football punt.' Allison
placed fifth in the state meet in
the 880 event last year and is ex
pected to win that event this year
at the meet in Corvallis May 15,
16.

Pirates Split With Boston;
Cleveland Win Streak Snaps'
(By the Associated Press)
Brooklyn's champion Dodgers
still rule the roost in the National
league, but the St. Louis Cardi
nals and Pittsburgh Pirates have
them hanging on the ropes in
what is rapidly shaping up as the
hottest three-way argument since
junior learned to drive the fam
ily automobile.
Still reeling from the effects of
a one-two punch they absorbed at
Pittsburgh, Durocher's Dandies
staggered into St. Louis yester
day and were flattened twice by
a Cardinal team that finally dis
covered what bats were for.
The Cardinals clipped the Dodg
ers, 14- 10, in the opening game
and 4-2 in the afterpiece, whidt
was held to five and a half
nings because the daylight ran
out.
The double defeat reduced,
Brooklyn's margin to a single
game over the second-place Pitts
burgh Pirates, who missed their
chance to shave the lead by divid
ing a doubleheader with the Bos
ton Braves.
Cleveland Streak Ended.
Pressure finally caught up
with the Cleveland Indians, two
lengths to the good in the Ameri
can league, and the Boston Red
Sox cashed in on a trio of errors
for an 8-4 triumph that ended the
tribe's winning streak at 13
games.
York's sixth and seventh home
runs of the season carried the De
troit Tigers to an 8-7 victory over
the Philadelphia Athletics, but
Marchildon pitched a sparkling
two-hitter in the nightcap to give
the A's an even break, 10.
The New York Yankees snan
ned a deadlock with the Red
and moved to within a half gam!
;amc
of the secnod-place Tigers by
sweeping a bargain bill from the
Chicago White Sox, 6-4 and 3-1.
The St. Louis Browns and
Washington Senators divided
I their double bill, Washington tak
ing the opener 9-8 and St. Louis
coming back for a 5-1 decision in
the second with the help of effec
tive pitching by Holhngsworth.
Pittsburgh ran its winning
streak to three by downing Bos
ton 6-2 in the first game behind
the seven-hit pitching of Butcher,
but the Braves came back with a
14-hit attack to square accounts,
12-3.
The New York Giants knocked
Walters out of the box in the sec
ond Inning and went on to trip
the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4, as Car
penter went all the way.
At Chicago, the Cubs dowilW
the Philadelphia Phils, 91, but the
Phils took the second game, 8-1.
