,ln ,the ast desperate .emergency.
It has been assumed that ac
tual invasion .wodd be the
.emergency that would bring out
the hoarded .Gorman planes. Jho
Itict that the big uir .battles of
last week ibrought them out Is
at least significant.
Maybe we're beginning to hit
the nazls where It REALLy
HURTS.
OUR Immediate problem Is to
force ,the .perman planes up
into the air and SHOOT THEM
DOWN and the German problem
is to hold cnougli of them back
to meet the big Invasion push
when it starts,
The strategy is identical with
that of the battle of BrItaln-r-In
which the British managed by
Bhqer .qouragc and It flying skill
,to beat p,ff the German air feets
without sacrificing their awn re
serves of lighten.
SNCIDENTALLY, note the fre
quency of our uir attacks on
German CHEMICAL, centers. We
must suspect the nazls of holding
back a reserve of POISON GAS
to be used In the last desperate
emergency.
THE Berlin radio sitys the Rus
sians have started a new of
fensive north of Luke llmen,
which is clear up toward Lenin
grad. If so, the Russians now have
four major offensives under way
In the Leningrad urea, north of
the Prlpet marshes, south of the
Prlpct marshes und In the Vin
nitsa area, where they are threat
ening the Odessa railroad.
It takes POWER to mount four
offensives at once.
By Chrlo V. Stanton
COLDIER vote legislation now before congress provides an
excellent political football to be booted back and forth
between the political leaders in the administration and con
gress. It is to be doubted if the soldiers are very much con
cerned with the matter of being able to vote at the forthcom
ing elections, but, of course, are vitally interested in the
principle involved. To deny the soldiers an opportunity to
vote would create much resentment, but, on the other hand,
had the issue never been raised, it is doubtful if any appre
ciable number of jneii in the armed services would have
given the idea any thought. Now, it having been developed
into a political wrangle, the men in the armed services prob
ably will watch the outcome jealously.
Unless the attitude of the men and women in uniform has
changed decidedly in the last 25 years, the soldier vote will
be strictly adverse to the "ins" and very favorable to the
"outs."
Ve can remember how, back in 1917 and 1918, the men
in uniform despised everything that savored of "brass-hat."
The attitude was that those in charge of domestic and high
up affairs in the government and military services were a
bunch of nincompoops, who could be replaced with excellent
results by any fairly intelligent buck private from the rear
rank.
The American soldier today is far better informed on cur
rent events than were those in the last war- However, they
seem to have the same ability to complain, criticize and
grouse. , It may be safely presumed, .we believe, that they
will hold the same disrespect for those in political authority.
1 hat may be one reason for the reluctance ,to place federal
ballots in the hands of the troops.
The measure, as first outlined, was clearly an invasion of
states rights. The administration, which has never held any
respect for the rights of states, naturally wanted political
credit for placing ballots in the hands of the soldiers. Con
gressmen, however, particularly ithose of the South, where
states rights are held more sacred than in many other parts
of the nation, have questiondd the method of .operation
rather than the principle involved. Jt is interesting to note
that the opposition to the plan for a federal ballot comes
principally from the democratic side.
It may be safely assumed, .we believe, that some plan for
soldier voting will be adopted. No pplitician would dare to
stick his neck out to say that soldiers are not entitled to a
vote. But we predict the tabulation will show a very
evident dissatisfaction with the existing authority,
The lack of dynamic leadership in the republican party is
clearly evidenced in its frantic groping for a candidate. The
G. 0. P. needs, to cease its internal squabbles and settle upon
a leader who can command the respect of the voters for his
qualities of statesmanship. The party can't expect to win an
election by simply shaking its head and clucking.
t
mania is rising to panic heights
as the Russians near the Ruman
ian border.
The fact that -Bulcnrlu and Ru
maniaboth of which would like
to be out from under the Ger
man thumb and over on our side
.continue to do nothing to bring
about tholr wished-for change oif
allies is eloquent testimony to the
fear in which they holtl their
German masters.

IN the eastern edge of Old Po-
. I land, the Russians are now
fighting In the vast Prlpet mulsh
es, which have always been re
garded lis one of the most for
midable defenses in the entire

These marshes arc probably
one reason why the Russian want

Fire Razes Starch
Plant in Klamath
KLAMATH FALLS, Qre Jan.
17. ( AP) A weekend fire de
stroyed the starch plant of the
Hannon Refining company at
Henley, south of here, and se
verely burned Walter Hannon,
head of the firm, when he at
tempted to extinguish the blaze.
Forty thousand pounds of
starch and 1,000 sacks of pota
toes were destroyed in the fire,
which began from an explosion of
starch in a new rotary drier.
Hannon said he would rebuild
the plant Immediately if granted
WPB permission. The company
has bqen using low grade potatoes
to make starch and dextrin,
chiefly on war orders. ..
DIALlFLOG
You'll notice that Cleveland
Symphony is listed tonight at
7:30 which was most upsetting
when we discovered it; but it's all
rieht this is a special deal a
sort of a farewell appearance for
Conductor Leinsdorf before he
starts doing squads right and left
for Uncle Sam. A few more
"farewell" appearances and he'll
be right in the same class with
Bernhardt and some of the other
artists who made annual farewell
appearances for years. We heard
via "Radio Tour" that Mary Mar
tin was going to. sing on the con
cert which doesn't seem quite
right. It's a bit hard to imagine
"My Heart Belongs to Daddy" on
the Cleveland Symphony, which
has, to date, been strictly long
hair. If you aren't a devotee of
the classics, Tuesday night gives
you Annaloris at 6:30 with Music
You Remember (occasionally she
wanders in to classics, but not of
ten enough to make it distressing
for those who dislike them). Then
there's Chuck and Jack at 8:15
and you needn't worry there
they give strictly with the west
ern tunes. In case-you think
this -sounds like we're looking
down our nose, we hasten to add
that we never miss one of their
programs and we're still waiting
to hear our requests.
