Baruch, has painted. It is discour aging in two ways. Klrst, because It verifies com . pletcly the analyses which tliis . column has presented editorially . on several occasions, pointing out that through l'J43, at least, thp most rigid civilian economy in rubber will scarcely suffice to keep the fighting machine going. Second, because the report's " personalities emphasizes the ter rible fumblinii which has bedev- ' iled the rubber situation ever since the Japanese struck at Pearl Harbor. It is difficult to Irn- j agine an error of pmisslon which those charged with protecting the national Interest, in connection . with rubber, have not commit ted. The president's ready accept ance of the report and his prom ise to implement It Immediately is the best that can be -done at this late date. Meanwhile, however, It Is de sirable that the people he on guard lest some of I ho same be fuddled Interests which have in- ' slstcd against all fact and logic that there was no rubber cmrr- gency, should cause further darmTfjc,s (o age by removing sentences from their context and misquoting the Baruch report. The committee recommends thai more rubber bo made avail able for civilian the' replacement and recapping. But let no scatter brain misinterpret that sugges tion, and persuade you that it is all right to burn up your tires in needless, reckless driving.- When anybody cites that rec ummendatoin to you, fling back at him the next sentences of the report: "More rubber to those who need It. Less to those who don't." The replacements and recap ped tires are not Intended fur pleasure drivers. "Let there be no doubt," remember, "that only ac tual needs, not fancied wants, can or should be satisfied." Need Is pot for the pleasure of driving through the fall country side, savoring the brisking air and admiring the (in ning leaves. Need Is not to loss one's golf clubs into the rumble and dash off for a spot of relaxation, or to drive to the bridge party Instead of walking or taking I lie bus. Need is for getting men and women to and from the factories where they are making arms and armaments; for delivering tin goods of war and the commodities of subsistence. With all that can be done, the best we can hope by the end of 19-13 ranges from a very small surplus to an actual deficiency for critical military use. Discomfort or defeat are the alternatives offered us. We will take discomfort, with a grin. Editorials on News (Continued from pato 1.) plane, might have caused a lot of trouble.

(A S everyone knows who has watched the moisture that stays on the grass all dav, humid Ity has been high of late. High humidity Is UNFAVORABLE to the spread of forest flies. Why didn't, the Japs wait for a period oi low numiuity rj THKIH attacks on this coast (so 1 far) lead to the snap judg ment that the Japs are a race of simple-minded children, playing what amounts to Hallowe'en tricks on their enemy. But we KNOW BETTER than that. In their South Seas warfare, they have been shrewd, intelli gent and foresightcd. Down there, they made every move cpuid. There was no childish horseplay at Pearl Harbor, at Ma nila, at Singapore or In the Dutch East Indies. Everywhere In that part of the world they have figured their shots and have played for keeps. lAf HY all this seemingly absurd exhibitionism over here? Are they deliberately trying to trap us into the belief that they are harmless little savages, not to be taken seriously, so that when (and if) they DO tackle us for blood we shall be expecting to hold them off with one hand while with the other we go about our regular daily affairs? If so, what do they think WE are? Can they conceive that we have forgotten so soon their deadly seriousness and undoubted ef ficiency down there where the fighting Is REAL? YOU'LL have to answer these questions for yourself. This writer doesn't know. But you'll be wise If you DON'T underestimate I he Jap. Oulside the Pacific coast of the United Stales, his performances haven't smacked at . all of ab surdity. In his wierd (but determined) Oriental mind, there must he some pattern back of all this seemingly silly playing of kid games along this coast. COR your own better under standing, remember that this Incident happened almost a week ago, and that only now is news of it seeping out to us. It is prob able that the whole story HASN'T seeped out. II is HIGHLY probable that this performance at Brookings was much less absurd than on the basis of what has been given out Whatever you do, DON'T un derestimate the Jap. JulEANWIIILE, the Russians hold out at Stalingrad. They go on killing Germans. They go on displaying heroism and sta mina of a high order. The dispatches announce that along with the V's of German air craft long V's of waterfowl go ing south, harbingers of the com ing winter, are visible in (he skies over Stalingrad.

Plnniger, Douglas county civil defense co ordinator. "Many people have told me that they could not and would not be lieve that the Jans would ever drop bombs on continental United States, and even it they did they would not attack the remote parts of our country but would direct such attack upon centers where war industries are located," said Plnniger.' "For that reason Ore gon, and especially our part of Oregon, would be safe and that our various civilian defense act ivities were foolish and needless and organized for propaganda purposes to promote a war Hand edness in our people. "Now that it has been proven that the scoffers were wrong, we have hopes that more people will evidence enough interest in doing w hat they can to take steps to pro tect their own lives and property from future attacks, which in ail probability will come, by immedi ately signing up for some type of civilian defense work in the pro tection field. We can of course have no knowledge of when or where the next attack will come from, but we do know that If we are to be ready for It our various services must function. More and still more women are needed to operate the army filler center. All of the aircraft warning service observation posts can use more observers. Our local county air raid warning conlrol center "needs more men to take watches. If these services are not completely operative, we will get no advance warning of future attacks and the consequent" results may be disastrous. At the time of this particular attack just experienced, fortunately the posts were man ned, the warning service was functioning, and the forest ser vice's augmented fire protection crews were alert and on the job quickly enough to prevent any serious damage. It was definite proof that the system does work and that damage can be minimiz ed when it does. We must keen the system working day and night .'1 nours a nay. j "The people who are now doing : their part are not going to fall1 down on the job hut they musl , have help If we are to be com-! pletely prepared.

(APJ Arrival of one of the "Tojo cigar" submarines captured December 7 In the war's opening assault on Pearl Harbor was an nounced at the Mare island navy yard today. The two-man Jap submarine, brought here on the deck of a United States merchant vessel, was already well pipked apart by navy technicians eager to deter mine what made It go.

Concerning the . NORTHWEST At Viwtl t tht National Capita! By Paul Dunham WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 18. Farmers of the Pacific north west are due for 4 headache with in a few months over the gasoline and tire rationing. Joseph East man, office of defense trans portation, will soon have distri buted seyerai million question Sires to owners and operators of motor vehicles from taxicabs to farm trucks (only exception will pe private passenger cars), In which the owner must explain what he uses his vehicle for and must justify its use or get off the highways. Farmers of Washing ton and prcgon can readily just ify the use of mptpr vehicles In the harvest season, moving crops to market, but aside from this short seaspn farmers can expect uiiiicuttlcs. Mr. Eastman is de termined that every nqn-passen-ger motor vehicle that does nol have a legitimate excuse shall be placed in cold storage, for the duration, because rubber must be saved. A Chicago printing house has been grinding out the question aires and they are now being ship ped to representatives of ODT In both states and, will be distributed to owners of non-passenger motor vehicles. Truck operators have been waiting for something of this sort, but not the farmers. On hundreds of farms a light truck is the only means of transporta tion, serving for marketing throughout the year as well as during harvest. Deprivation of the farmer's method of locomotion will raise a storm, and farmers are never loath to voice their plaints. ODT is assembling lists of motor vehicles from, the motor venicte departments or uregon and Washington and these will be used to reach al licensed trucks, taxicabs, buses, etc. Rationing of gaspline on a na tional scale, long predicted by this service. Is designed to save tires, which will soon be beyond price. Federal officials assert that one year hence non-essential cars of all descriptions will be al most extinct in the program to conserve rubber. The gasoline tax,, collected by the states, has been holding up fairly well, but from now on a substantial drop In this revenue is forecast. Re ports from the northwest say that very few people have regard ed the loss of tires seriously and have been using their cars (pas senger type) without stint, either considering thp alarm over rub ber shortage as prqpaganda or be lieving that synthetic rubber will be available by the time they re quire new tires. This view has not been shared, however, by log ging truck operators, who de spite priorities are finding tires harder tq get with each succeed ing month. Ranch Hands Drafted Shecpherders and cowhands "caring the 50-year mark are be- ing drafted by local boards in Washington and Oregon. These herders and cowboys arc not married. Taken from the ranges, they are being shipped to recept ion centers and ranch owners are already protesting at this loss of farm labor. Despite their age, top old for combat, these men of the open spaces are expected to be as signed as mule skinners or horse wranglers, if they are not reject ed for physical defects. Taking men 45 and over is a foretaste of what can be expected in the near future. Spruce Wanted In the search to find spruce the government has sent timbcrmep to Alaska to look over the situa tion. It is the intention to raft the spruce logs to Puget sound and the Columbia river, from which they will be distributed. Accord ing lo reports, this Alaska spruce will not be obtainable before next spring as roads cannot be built In the rainy winter season. There is only a small amount of spruce J and hemlock on the Oregon coast but a larger amount in western Washington, all of which is scattered. Loggers with timber stands containing spruce arc still waiting for some method of fin-; ancing roads prior to the rains. ' One timbcrman who has the spruce and hemlock of extra large size has no money to build roads and although this timber is within six miles of a river, a leading bank refuses to cooperate, ! despite the anxiety 01 the gqvern-: ment to obtain logs. The bank, it is alleged, is holding the timber as security for a loan and insists that the entire loan be repaid be fore lt will permit a stick to comic j out of the woods. ' Dairymen Quitting Little has been said of it yet,, but there is a movement among farmers to leave the farm and seek the better pay of war in dustries. A few weeks ago there was an ample supply of milk, but due to shortage of labor 1 farmers are disposing of their' cows. One buyer reports that he ' took almost 500 cows to the stock yards In two weeks from one neighborhood in the Pacific north west. The dairymen, unable to milk all their cows and unable to ' find helpers, sold their cows. There is nothing the federal gov-1 eminent can do, as state and mu nicipal regulatious coer the dairying industry. Dairymen have written to members pf congress asking for guidance but lt appears that Uncle Sam Is helpless. KRNR Mutual proadcttlng Syttam, 14(0 Kilocyclei.

The governor jested that Curry county got so much publicity in its secession campaign that the Japs just figured the county must be a first-rate military objective.

RAY W. CLARK, Manager LETTERS to the Editor QUOTES SHARP CRITICISM OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Editor News-Review: This is a continuation of my previous let ter tp you. If beverage alcohol is ruinous to nations, which means to their power of defense, to the morale of a nation, what is it to the individual who is an intricate part of the nation? January 1, this year, 511,000, 0Q0 gallons of whiskey were Stocked n warehouses in this country (so records say). We send grain and other supplies to England to be returned to us as Scotch whiskey. All this requires ships for transportation. Do we as the people of this nation un derstand the purport? One medical authority in HstO Ing the five most serious health problems places beverage al cohol first. One of our large is surance companies reports that in thp last ten years rejections because of excessive alcohol in dulgence have increased from 12 to 34 per cent. In qt her Words one third of insurable men and women who are rejected as un-4 safe risks are the victims pf the beverage alcohol habit. In the years 1932 to 1936 the first four years after repeal one insurance company reports their rejections on account of drinking increased 35 per cent. Besides weakening the human system for the fatal work of tu berculosis, venereal disease, can cer and heart trouble, it is a major problem in cases of in sanity and accidents. Psychiatrists are much coniA corned about the problem of the-' increasing burden which insan ity is becoming to the personnel and finances of this country. Dr. Dayton of the Rochefcller Found ation says that one fifth of the mental cases of the U. S. A. arc alcoholic. Quoting from a college pres ident "If the nation is to special ize in public health, and we really mean it, the first step Is clearly indicated. If our soldiers are to be physically fit that step becomes not only advisable but Imperative, for all through historical time alcohol and venereal disease have been the twin detriments to fit ness in the armies of the world. "You can repeal the Eighteenth Amendment, but you cannot re peal the effect that alcohol and venereal disease have upon the human body. Further nature im politely disregards the authority of congress when the later de- dares that 3.2 beer is not intoxi Jj eating." Macauley said at one lime; , Even the law of gravitation would be brought into dispute were there a pecuniary interest involv ed." George B. Cutten says "No thing shows the truth of this statement more clearly than the liquor traffic. This traffic is con cerned with many on one side and on the other with the health and lives of men, their moral and their social standings, the food and clothing of their children, the happiness of their family Ufe, their intellectual integrity and their contribution to their country in time of peril. When stated thus boldly it hardly seems possible that one man could be found who would gamble with the human lives and interests of his fellows to that extent, but there are such, and not all among-y the lowest classes either."
