It would , (i)cur that loo many in the na tion's capital are not looking up, occasionally, at the government- prepared poster that suggests: "Let's fight Hitler, not each other." In general, It would seem that the civilian side of the war of tort, represented by Donald Nelson, and the military side, represented , by Llout.-Gen. lirehon Somervell : and Vice Admiral Samuel Kobin- , son, are at loggerheads. As described by one veteran ou- . server, the controversy rests upon ' a fundamental disagreement in philosophy. The civilian attitude ; is said to be that the armed serv ices can have all that is left after i Important non-military needs have been met. The army and the navy, on the contrary, contend that Ihey should have first call upon everything and then, if there should be a surplus, that can go to civilians. If one had to choose between two such extreme viewpoints, in ' Urn like these he probably would side with General Somer vell and Admiral Itoblnson. Unless the army and the navy fiet what they need, there won't be anything at all for civilians not even the fundamentals of lib rrty. Fortunately, It is not necessary lo go to either extreme. Both Nelson and Somervell - and Rob inson, by repute are loo decent, too sensible, too tolerant lo let stiff necks Interfere long wllh the ' coocralloii without which our war effort must suffer. Unquestionably the army and navy must have everything they need with which to fight, even though that forces civilians to go without every luxury anil most comforts. Donald Nelson would be the first lo concede Hint. On the other hand, General Somervell and Admiral Iiobinson would not question that there are certain essentials without which the civilian production system cannot continue lo runctlon. We at home can and must give up much that we have retained thus far in the war. The army and the navy must toss tradition out of the window and accept sub Ktltutes in laundry equipment, cols, broom bindings, utility hard ware, oil cans and other mm critical Items. That such compromises can he Worked out Is evidenced In the discovery that cartridge cases, a highly critical military item, can be made from stivl jiiat as well us from brass. The good will (if big men will hot permit silly disputes to go on. Editorials on News (Continued (rum tuige 1.) that an atmospheiv ot cordiality . cmd complete sincerity prevailed at the momentous meeting. JOR our own purposes here. let's drop the stilted language of diplomacy and get dow n to brass tacks. The real pui'imse of Churchill's trip to Moscow was to SATISFY STALIN, who has been doing the bulk of the fighting so far. and keep him fmm getting mad and going off the reservation. Churchill and Stalin met face to face, and it may be taken safe ly for granted that they talked turkey. If they reached a basis of mu tual respect and CONFIDENCE IN EACH OTHER, In trip was worth whatever dangers wore in volved. ... ET'S hazard point: a guess at this If such a basis was reached, Stalin was told DEFINITELY what Britain and the United States can and will do and WHEN. (You will note from the dis patches today that we had a mi nor part in the talking. Our part In the doing, when the time comes, won't be a minor one.) FOLLOWING the Moscow moot- ing there is much speculation as to what will be done to make good the pledges that wero quite certainly given to Stalin. The guesses Include: A full-scale Invasion of Norway and maybe Finland. Smaller diversions elsewhere finm Norway to Spain. Stoppodup air attacks designed lo knock out Germany's war in dustries. VOU don't need to waste much time on this speculation. YOUR OWN GUESSES areas good as any other outsider's. The high commands In London und Moscow and Washington aren't going to tip off to Hitler in ADVANCE What is going to be done to relieve the pressure on the Russians. The purpose of the speculation is to keep Hitler guessing. BEHIND Its curtain of practical ly complete secrecy, the battle of the Solomons nears the end of its second week. That In Itself In dicates that the battle is a big one and a lough one, wllh neither side making rapid progress. The Sydney correspondent of the London Star says it is believ ed U. S. marines have seized con trol of Tulagl harbor and the big air base on Guadalcanal island which was nearly ready for Japa nese use when It was seized. He adds: "When U.

Of the 40,000 per sons who were killed in automo bile accidents last year, 8,000 one in five had been drinking. This is revealed in the 1942 ed ition of Accident Facts, the Nat ional Safely council's statistical i earbook. State summaries for 1941 show ed, says Accident Facts, that 11 per cent of the drivers involved in fatal accidents had been drink ing. These drivers were involved In one out of six accidents. The same summaries reported that 11 per cent of the pedestrians Kiueu had been drinking 1,900 1 of the 13,600 pedestrian deaths. I The figures indicated that one in every six adult percstrians had been drinking. Says Accident Facts: "Although the proportion of drivers and pedestrians reported to have been drinking has increas ed In recent years, a greater de gree of completeness in figures reported by the stales and cities could account entirely for the ap parent upward trend. "The 1941 summaries of 22 stales showed 27 per cent more drinking drivers than were invol ved in 19-IO's fatal accidents. The number of non-drinking drivers I in 1941 fatal accidents was up 17 i per cent. The sharp increase in i drunk driving accidents is con- I firmed hv the illdeement and nh-I sol vation of a committee of out standing traffic experts." 21 Noah's boat 23 Her father is Churchill 25 Druggists instruments. 27 International language. 29 Music note." 30 Foreign agent is buited. 37 Indian mulberry.'' 38 Ransom. 40 Upright parts of steps. 41 Area measure 42 Courtesy title 44 Period. 45 Large casfc. 47 Symbol for erbium. 48 Toiletry case. 50 Morass. 52 Limit- (comb. form). 54 Ignited. 56 Pair (abbr.). 57 Mystic 3 Fish eggs. 4 Uttered a sharp cry. 5 Him. 6 One. 7 Right (abbr.) 8 Hat maker. 9 Fish. 10 Behold! 11 Folding bed. 15 Body of water. 17 Uncooked. syllable. 19 Month (abbr.) 58 Symbol for 20 Render thoron. obsolete. 60 Exist Concerning the NORTHWEST At Viewed at th National Capitol By John W. Kelly WASHINGTON. D. C. Aun. IB. Without benefit of insurance, Washington's Senator Wallgren and Oregon's Senator Holman went on their survey of the Aleut ian imbroglio. Like careful states men, they inouired what the m-e- mlum would be on a $5000 policy for the trip. The voyage was to oe Dy me government plane from Spokane to. Edmonton, to White Horse, to Fairbanks, and to wherever else their quest might lead, and If anything happened to them on the tour of inspection they wanted a little insurance. The Insurance people gave them a rate $700 premium for the $5000 policy. The senators decided to take a chance on returning safe and sound rather than pay such a rate. While the Pacific American Steel-Iron corporation, Seattle, is accusing the big steel industry of throttling every effort to establish a steel industry in the northwest, according to H: J. Landahl, a struggle has been going on to ob tain a priority for a few hundred tons of steel for a glorified pilot plant for Cascade Locks, within a few miles of Bonneville dam on Columbia river. Mr. Landahl applied for a $50,000,000 loan from Reconstruction Finance cor poration (JeSse Jones' outfit) last month but hasn't much hone of it being granted. However, a lew days ago Jesse Jonc6 made a loan of $6,000,000 to a Mexican concern with which to produce steel and the Mexican enterprise is to obtain new and used mach inery in the United States in the ; face of refusals to proposed steel plants in Portland and Seattle because "the United States war defense cannot approve of new plants." So, money of American tax payers and equipment for steel plant is sent to Mexico while the Pacific American Steel-Iron Corp. (witn ores valued at $340,000,000) I can whistle and twiddle its 'thumbs, at a time when the United States Tequires all the sloel it ean- ublain for tanks, or.-. dnance and other war material. Priority Withheld No loan is requested of RFC J"r , tnc entcrPrlse at Cascade ..V',.' .,,, ,', 13 " l"M' ?nd 1 's as difficult for this pro- ject to receive a priority as it is for the Seattle corporation to ex tract a fifty million dollar loan from Jesse Holman Jones. The pilot plant for Cascade Locks will have a small capacity but in two days it can produce more than the amount of steel for which the priority is desired. This plant is designed to make "sponge" iron, a process which has been successful in Europe and which has been advocated on the floor of the senate for almost a year by Senator O'Mahoney of Wyom ing.

Immense quantities of mag netite iron ore have been located on Texada island and several other Dlaces in Washington and i across the line in British Colum bia and these, it is understood, were in the plans of the Pacific American Steel-Iron Corp. pro gram. For Cascade Locks the iron ore near Scappoose will be utilized if the government comes through with the priority. The Cascade Locks plant would use power generated by the Bonne-1 ville dynamos. Bauxite Supply Periled . The governor of Dutch Guiana, Dr. J. C. Kielstra, talked to the White House, saw President Ro osevelt and asked that something be done by the navy to curb the Nazi submarine menace. From Dutch Guiana comes the bauxite which Is transformed Into alum inum at Vancouver, Wash., after it has received its first process at Mobile. German saboteurs, the submarines, have been sending ships loaded with bauxite to the bottom of the sea in the effort to curb aluminum production, which, In turn, means fewer bombers and combat planes. A heavy bomb er requires 24,000 pounds of alum inum, a small bomber 16,000; a pursuit plane 10,000, and a train er 6,000. Pacific northwest plants are producing more than one third of the aluminum in this country will increase the per centage in the near future. Gov ernor Kielstra was assured that the navy will eventually over come the subs, but nothing more definite than that, and ships to bring the bauxite are becoming scarcer in the meantime. Exports of bauxite are the principal source of revenue for Dutch Gu iana. It cost $900 to pay for the elect rocution of the six saboteurs. For each execution a chief execution er and his principal assistant re ceive $50 and the four helpers $25 each, or $150 for the destruction of each Nazi agent. The operation was performed by civilians who specialize in operation ot the electric chair. OREGON EVENTS FLASHED FROM WIRE SERVICE SALEM, Aug. 19.
