SIX ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1943. Lower Voting Age Amendment to go Before Congress WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-APl A new political Issue was oaf marked for congress'fall agenda today with announcemenl by Chairman Hatch (D.-N. M.) that a senate judiciary subcommittee would begin early consideration of a proposed constitutional amendment to lower the voting age to 18. Hatch's decision to push hear ings on the measure came as two other developments indicat ed that politics is coming to the forefront despite the nation's preoccupation with war. One of ttiese was a disclosure that Vice President Wallace has been in vited to join Hatch and three other senators In a nationwide collective security rally and the other was a demand by Senator Glass (D.-Va.) for an end to po litical name calling. Hatch told an interviewer that In view of the recent action bv Georgia voters in cutting the bal lot age to 18, he felt it appro priate for the judiciary commit tee to "consider and act on the resolution." Unlike other political questions, the issue of making 18, 19 and 20 year olds eligible to vote seem ed headed for non-controversial treatment by congress. The res olution proposing the constitu tional amendment was offered bv Senator Vandenberg (R. Mich.) and thus far has drawn no public criticism from members of either party.

Goering Is Said to Be New Head Man in Germany (Continued from page 1) were forced to fight a defensive war. Hitler Nominal Head. Since Hitler was reported left as the nominal head of stale un der the new setup, the transition apparently has not proved diffi cult and was not likely to cause repercussions like those which fol lowed the resignation of lienlto Mussolini In Italy. (The reported developments in Germany were characterized in London as a "desperate" German attempt to "win the pence even though the war is lost." (The London Sunday Dispatch warned that a military dictator ship would have the full consent of nazi parly chiefs. "The nazis would just go underground and re-emerge later," the paper said. (The paper also exri'ssod be lief that Hitler's removal was, inj fact, accomplished several months! ago. (Other London comment ex pressed tho view that the shift was nothing more than an at tempt to shove the na.i party anil Hitler Into the background in an effort to gain belter terms after the inevitable defeat.)

EDWARDS Oh, the anguish of that thought that we can never atone to our dead for the stint ed affection we gave them. "If any little word of ours" Can make one lift the brighter If any little song of ours Can make one heart the lighter; God help us speak that little word, And take our bit of singing And drop It in some lonely vale To set the echoes ringing." How often the kindnesses of people come too late. There is something peculiarly sad about belated kindness. If we have a flower to give, why not give them to our friends now, while they are living. Flowers for the dead are beautiful as trib utes of love, but alas, flowers on the casket east no fragrance backward on the weary road. After his wife's death Thomas Carlyle wrote in his diary, "Oh, if I could see her once more to let her know that I always loved her, she never did know it." Let us learn to open our alabaster boxes filled with the precious perfume of affection and sympathy and pour the fragrant contents upon the heads of our friends, while they can appreciate our love and solicitude.

After firing salvo after salvo into her and aided by salvos from other U. S. ships, all of whom were changing course from time to time, the enemy cruiser went up into the air like a Texas bronco, its bow poised on high. Then she plunged down within a few minutes and sank. Meanwhile, torpedoes from our force hit the other two Japa nese ships, one of which also ex ploded. The other was burning from stem to stern when we left one hour and 20 minutes later. For miles afterward we could see fires, and sometimes flames shooting across the water rapidly as blazing oil slicks joined. Near the end we moved in close to the other ships and attempted to pick up survivors. There were dozens of them in the dark wa ter. Fumes and smoke drove us back.
