We Won't Starve A FPROXIMATELY- a year ago " we went overboard, In the de sire to be cheerful, and promised there would be no gasoline short age In the country. We argued the matter learned- Jy, starting from the fact that we 1 alone of all the great nations pos sess more petroleum and more refining capacity than we and our allies could use, Something perhaps a Wash Ington rumor tells us we are wrong. For 17 stato3 and the District of Columbia there is very distinct shortage of motor fuel, and the rest of the country will not escape. About the same time we were certain, but the notion was voo silly to dignify With even pass ing mention, that the United States never would fuce a trouble some food shortage. The reasoning was similar to that in the case of gasoline. Well, now we're drinking cof fee with only one lump of sugar. Many restaurants are refusing second cups to patrons. Pepper and paprika are rationed to the trade, Tea Is on tho way out. All these, of course, ure.-lmpqrt, ca. j no premium upon snipping space makes them hard to get. : However, let us record today that we are going to meet up soon with scarcities in a lot of foodstuffs that do not have to b( brought into the United States by sea things that we raise on our own mainland in huge quantities. We shall find those foods scarce for two simple reasons that didn't occur to us a year agq, ' First, because the Army, the Navy and war manufacture are drafting our manpower so hcavi )y that the farmers can not got enough help to plant, cultivate and harvest the crops. Second, because our railroads arc coming close to the limits of their carrying capacity. Not long since, wo were worry ing about the uneconomic compe tition of paralleling transcontin ental lines, with excess equipment eating its head off In capital charges. . Now we're devising all sorts of makeshifts to enable the avail able equipment to haul more raw materials, more parts from sub lo main contractor, more machinery of war. Soon, the movement of food stuffs will be regulated strictly so they will not impede the move ment of military materiel. Then we shall find less variety on gro cers' shelves. But and this is the iminrtnnt thingwo can still be certain that wc are not going to face starvation or malnutrition. Up lo mat pulnt, foods will have to give way to war freight. At that point, war freight will give way lo foodstuffs. Why? Merely because only a properly fed nation can meet ade quately the production demands that will save democracy. Editorials on News (Contlnutd from pag 1.) strength of his forces In the first battle. At the Wilderness and Spottsyl vania combined, he Inst 37,000 and Lee's, losses were not much less. In the first month of his cam paign, Including the Wilderness, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor, Giant lost 55,000 men or approxi mately HALF of the army with which he started. IV thinking of the cost of war in blood and suffering, now as compared with earlier periods, re member that In the time of the war between the states antiseptic surgery was only In Its crude be ginnings. First aid on the battle field was only rudimentary. If you have ever read Margaret Leech's "Keveille in Washington," you have a vivid picture Qf what this meant. A severe leg or arm Injury was likely to mean ampu tation and amputations were per formed without anaesthesia. The probability that minor wounds would result in gangrene was great. The death rate among the wounded was shockingly high. THIS isn't meant as a defense all. But we should know, be cause it is the truth, that the dan gers and the horrors our men face now are LESS, Instead of greater, than the horrors and the dangers faced by American men in the sixties. QRANT'S losses at the Wilder ness, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor had been so terrible that Union soldiers went Into the im mediately following battlc,of Pet ersburg with slips of paper bear ing their names attached to their uniform jackets so their bodies would be recognized and word got to their relatives mothers, largely, since by that time mere boys were beginning to predomi nate In the armies. But that strong certainty of im pending death didn't stop them from fighting as bravely and as resourcefully as men ever fought at any time in the history of the world. THERE was no difference In the fighting quality of the men on the two sides. It was superb. No braver, tougher, more determined fighting men ever went Into battle. Both were Americans. Both believed In what they Were fight ing for. HE come of a tough breed. " We're STILL touch. The men of Bataan proved that. Bataan was no mere accident. It was HEREDITY asserting It self. A TRAGIC thought occurs here Tho Smith hn,,Uf 1.1. . ... iuMbiii uuu bdlU. "One Southerner is the equal of five Yankees." The North thought the men of the South were blus terers and wouldn't fight. (This before the fighting started.) Both were wrong. By the end or the warj no matter how deep tWtf 'hatreds that had been inspir ed, there was RESPECT on both sides for the fighting qualities of the men on the other side. One harks back here to the con temptuous opinion too many of us held of the Japs in the days before December 7. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System, 1490 Kllocyolea.

As for the games themselves, two of yesterday's scheduled double-headers were cut in half by the weather but five of the six played resulted in double vic tories. , The lone exception was at Philadelphia, where the Yan kees came from behind with a seven-run sixth-inning rally to whip the Athletics, 11-7, then bumped into Luman Harris, who checked them on four hits, for a 4-2 decisiqn in the afterpiece. Auker and Niggeling shared the pitching honors as the St. Louis Browns stopped the Cleve land Indians, 5-4 and 8-3.

K. Harrington, oi mis city. uent the weekend attending lu business in Portland. 1 By J. R. WILLIAMS Classy Pitching Marks Bail Games In Coast League (By the Associated Press) A step ahead of the calendar, perhaps, but nonetheless in full ! flower, Coast league pitchers bloomed like June roses under the forced growth of a double-header-rich holiday week-end. Yesterday's eight winning hurl- ers, for instance, were touched for a total of only 41 hits and, more remarkably yet, three runs. In five of Saturday's eight games; the losing sides aggregat ed 22 hits and one run. Not once in any of the 13 trials did the suc cessful moundsman fail to go the distance, whether for nine or more innings or for seven. Only in the second game at Hollywood, which the home team won, 8 to 7, and at Oakland, where the Oaks exchanged a 5-2 first-game victory for a 7-6 Sacra mento verdict in the nightcap did the Memorial day pitching, faif to measure up to yesterday's dis play. At Portland, a double shutout, 1-0 and 6-0, lifted San Francisco into a virtual fifth place tie with Uakland yesterday. Homers by Matheson and Col lins, together with 12 other Se attle hits of assorted length so unnerved Los Angeles that the Angels committed seven errors, thus making victory in the open er, 12-u, an easy matter lor Bar rett. Two singles and an Infield out in the seventh and final frame of the closing game de prived Adams of a goosc-eggcr. The score was 2-1. The twin win Saturday was the margin of Los Angeles o d scries showing. The joint Beers-Lyons achieve ment yesterday gave Sacramento a 6 to 2 scries margin over Oak land. Victory for the Sacs, 41, in the tirst game came suddenly af ter two men were out in the tenth. At that point Handley sin gled, Sturdy walked, Mesnes sin gled, Garms singled, Adams doubled and it was all over. A five-hit, four-run assault on Bux ton was the batting feature of the second game, 12 0. Gay held San Diego as score less as Hebert did Hollywood un til the ninth inningof the first game in the moire"' city. Then Mazzera, before, Hebert and Patchett singled for the runs that made the difference. The Padres supported Brown with 13 hots and two four-run innings in the night cap. A walk and two hits in the fifth, one of them Kahle's double kept tho Stars from a complete whitewashing for the day. Scores were 2-0 and 11-1. Sidney Fredrickson to Attend Officers' School Sidney I.

What Washington and Oregon received was a temporary re prieve from gasoline rationing; the rationing will be Imposed later when all 48 states are affect ed. The "best minds" agree that conditions will progressively be come worse as tires wear out, which at the outside will be in 18 months. There is no shortage of gasoline In the northwest nor will there be any as long as land transportation is ' available. DI verting the oil- tankers has brought gas trucks into the pic ture and these can supply all the gasoline needs of the area. It gets down to rubber. Plants financed by the United States are slow in getting start ed and none of the synthetic rub ber will be available for the pub lic as long as the war lasts. Aside from military requirements the only rubber will be for absolute ly essential purposes, such as op eration of highway trucks, buses and a limited number of Individ uals such as physicians and po lice. The time is coming when private owners will be offered a price for their tires by the gov ernment, and if the offer is re fused the tires will be taken any way. Headache In Offing. Last week traveling salesmen of the northwest appealed to OPA for a concession. They showed the necessity of having re-caps; depicted the hundreds of miles of travel they must make to contact their customers and, in brief, in formed Leon Henderson of the exact facts. Mr. Henderson made a statement, saying he recognized the plight of the commercial travelers, but since the original regulations were promulgated the rubber situation had become so grave that rigid restrictions are required to make current sup ply spread as long as possible. While statesmen are debating what sort of peace terms will be demanded more practical officials in the national capital are worry ing about a mass transportation problem which is developing and will be a headache In the north west before the end of the year. People moved out into the sub urbs, remote from street car or bus lines and used their private cars to get around. When their tires are gone they will be strand ed, for walking to work will re quire an hour or two longer. In This Bottle Saves 60 for Uncle Sam This p-0Z.

Clearettes may not taste differ ent but they will not burn the way they do now when the "vic tory" fags are placed on the mar ket. When a lighted cigarette Is laid down now it continues burn ing evenly (note burned holes In tables, floors In newspapers ot flees) to the end. The new cigar ette will not burn when it is not puffed; will be dead when laid on a table. The reason a cigarette burns evenly and continuously Is the glycerine contained in the to bacco. Glycerine is an important factor in the manufacture of ex plosives and giving up its glycer ine content will be the cigarette's sacrifice in the war effort. Easing Up On Hops. More hops are grown In the northwest than anywhere else In the Uqited States (Oregon leads the world in acreage.) Whe.n of fice of price administration pre pared its rules explaining what is under price control, tne drignt young man who worked on the schedule knew little or nothing of this specific crop. Hops are dried, and therefore under pres ent regulations they are subject to price control. For the Infor mation of hop growers and deal ers of the northwest it can be stated that tho mistake of OPA will be corrected and hops will be taken out of control in ample time before the new crop is gath ered. OPA is building up a force of 100,000 people on the payroll and possibly will be under civil service. OPA Intends retaining local rationing boards, probably on a volunteer basis, but the tens of thousands in the regular or ganization will supervise the po licing of retailers and whole salers. May Import Mexicans. Workers in the migratory la bor camps in a half-dozen sec tions of the Pacific northwest will be permitted to have all the gaso line they require to go from here to there. The manpower com mission (Paul McNutt) is desir ous of giving these migrants ev ery consideration which will en able them to perform their valu able service of gathering the veg etables and fruits. It has been proposed that Mexican labor be brought in and some of these aliens distributed to the sugar beet fields. Before any Mexicans are imported to supplement the ranks of labor the prospective employers will be" required to agree on wages and hpursj. Returns to Seattle Mrs. G. M.
