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.

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.

Stretch Leads In
Major Leagues
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR
Associated Press Sports Writer
Major league baseball enjoyed
a rest today after the busiest
week end of the season, which
brought disaster In double doses
to many of the pennant contend
ers and success In the same quan
tities to those who could with
stand the pressure of four games
in two days.
Here are some of the more im
portant happenings witnessed:
The New York Yankees stretch
ed their American league lead to
eight games, although their eight
game winning streak was snap
ped by the Philadelphia Athletics
in yesterday's second game.-
The Brooklyn Dodgers boosted
their lead In the National league
to six games by stopping the
Boston Braves twice yesterday
after dividing a pair with- the
New York Giants the day before.
The Cleveland Indians skidded
into fourth place In the American
league, while tho Detroit Tigers
took over second place and the
Boston Red Sox moved up a notch
to third.
The St. Louis Cardinals replac
ed the Boston Braves In second
place In the National league by
winning two out of three over the
week end while tho Braves man
aged only an even split In four
games.
Ott Ties Hornsby's Record
Mel Ott, playing his 17th year
in the majors all with the Gi
ants tied Rogers Hornsby's Na
tional league record of 1,582 runs
batted in by driving two runs
across In yesterday's twin tri
umph over the Philadelphia
Phils. It took Hornsby 23 seasons
to establish the mark, which Is
considerably lower than Babe
Ruth's major league record of
2,209.
Clyde Vollmcr, recalled by Cin
cinnati from Syracuse to relieve
an outfielder shortage caused by
three Injuries, arrived in time to
play the second game against the

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

bumped into Luman Harris, who
checked them on four hits, for a

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.

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 1.
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

Mew "Fags" to Be Weaker.
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.
