R. Williams Editorials on News (Coitiaued from pat L) the handyman wrecked the pants. In spite o his two suits, hq missed his mceting-and missing a meeting in Washington is something. SOMEWHAT similar trouble be fell a one-suiter. Ho too got In In the morning and called the tailor, and when the bellhop showed up he sent the suit out, to be pressed PRONTO, while he shaved and cleaned up. Time marched on. But no suit came back. Frantic calls to the desk brought no relief. Meanwhile the hour of I his meeting arrived and PASSED. He hIso missed out. He just couldn't go In his underwear. You can get by with a lot ol things in Washington, but you can't get by with that. EVENTUALLY the mystery was cleared, and his impressed suit, along with a heap of others, was discovered down In the base ment it developed that the hotel tail or was sub contracting his press Ing at a volume price of 30 cents per suit and at the critical mo ment the sub contractor demand, ed 40 cents and backed up his demand by going on strike. By the time the strike was settled, our unlucky hero's meet ing hiyl passed into history. THIS one has to do with lunch eon checks, rather than suits. A group of men went out to lunch and when the affair came Iq an end the waiter brought In the bill on one check. The host picked up the check and was hold ing it In his hand while he finish ed up a conversation. The bill camo to $.'16. One of the guests, saw the check. "Glye that to me," he said, "I'm In the 90 per cent excess profits brackets, and this Is a business trip, This lunch will cost you $3i, but it'll only cost mo $3.00." He look the check. Whereupon another guest spoke up. "Shucks," he said. "I'm here on business too, and I'm operating on one of these cost plus ten per cent contracts. I can MAKE Jtf.iH) on it." It's a screwy world we're living in. Salary Increases Given Yoncalla School Staff By Chariot V. Stantor. HARRIS ELLSWORTH, congressman from the Fourth Ore gon district, in his weekly news letter from Washington, referred to President Roosevelt's face-slapping, tax bill veto message stating: "Most people here seem to be honestly puz zled by the president's action." A good many political com mentators seem to be equally baffled. President Roosevelt lias been the master of diplomatic finesse in the past. He has embarrassed congress no end with adroily planted issues," designed to destroy public confidence in the legislative branch. Consequently bewilderment is occasioned by the crudeness of the veto message. We have on the desk two Jabot' journals which lambast con gress in vigorous language for failure to pass the federal ballot bill submitted by the administratoin. But they do not tell their readers that the administration's program was strictly unconstitutional, that the votes cast under such a plan could not have been counted in any state, that presidents are named by electors not iby popular vote; that congress, within constitutional Iimitsj could not possibly have passed the bill in its original form. The president well knew his plan would arouse division in congress and would stir up factionalism throughout the nation; It has succeeded in its purpose. '' He doubtless had the same motive in mind when he tossed in the, national service legislation which congress, appar ently, is endeavoring to pintle on the shelf. The administra tion's proposal, at this late hour, can hope to achieve nothing but additional dissension, j " ' The phrase "divide and cpnqucr" has been frequently ap plied in recent years to military strategy. . It is equally im portant in political machinations. The politician who can divide his opposition, rwhilej retaining a friendly balance of power, can perpetuate himself in office as long as he main tains his skill. But the tax veto message lacked the usual adroitness at which the president is a ast master. General comment would indicate that public reaction favored congress rather than the president. j Perhaps there is more than a hint in the retaliatory speech of Senator Barkley, who referred frequently to the "president and his advisers." The president has been busy with international affairs, and the domestic situation has been pretty much in the hands of the bureaucratic family. The president was once sur rounded by strong, and politically-capable men. But gradu ally his "brain trusters'' have been deserting. Farley, Gar ner, Al Smith, Woodring, Hugh Johnson, Tugwell, John L. Lewis, Moley and numerous others, who once were strong supporters and able advisers men who could accomplish things diplomatically repudiated the New Deal. Barkloy's renunciation took away one of the last of the stalwarts. " Today his advisers are largely the bureaucrats,' Byrheijl, Vinson, Frankfurter, Rosonnian, Cohen, Hopkins, Wallace not forgetting Eleanor who are far below the stature of the originators of the New Deal. Kven the bureaucrats are not a unit. They are constantly fighting among themselves. Each department and agency is jealous of the other. We have seen in countries, with which we are now at war, the effects of deteriorating counsel upon one-man govern ments. Hitler's progress stopped when he alienated his conservative advisors and gave ear to the radicals. There is intimation in Barkley's rebellion that the presi dent refused to listen to conservative "pleadings," that, in stead, he permitted the more radical of his advisers to direct him into tin action completely foreign to his usual skillful method. The president is not onVto take congressional insurrec tion without a, fight. We can expect more squabbles. But we imagine they will be more adroitly planned in the future. While observing the Washington mess, we should keep in mind that administration is efficient only in proportion to the competency of its advisers. . ,. .

Hess Gains Notice For War Duty Courage Norman B. Hess, former Rose burg postal employee, now , a pharmacist mate with the V. $. navy, is given special mention in a feature story written by Ser geant Leodel Coleman, a marine corps combat correspondent, con cerning action at Bougainville. Hess, Coleman writes, served as an operating room technician with Lieutenant Commander Dr. W. C. Meloy at a field hospital set up within, 200 yards of the front lines, working more than 30 hours without sleep and with little food. The unit, It was reported, went ashore with the first wave of ma rines and was ready for opera tions within a very short time Iter the landing. Between emer gency operations the unit im proved the position o the base, adding layers of sandbags around the operating tent and wards. A commendation from the base hospital, to which wounded.. men later evacuated, declared that the marines received from the field hospital wore the best cared for of any to be received from the South Pacific area. During a particularly heavy shelling of the area, Coleman writes, Dr. Meloy and Corpsman writes, Dr. Meloy and Corps man work although sheiis and shrap nel were riddling the tents in which they were located. . i At recent Got Idle Musical Instrument? Give it to Soldiers Wanted musical instruments ! for our fighting men! In response to n request from the army, a city wide campaign to round up all those banjos, saxophones, and olher musical Instruments that are lying forgotten in closets and allies will begin here on March' l.'l. It will run for two weeks. The variety of instruments wanted Is unlimited, except that pianos, and "hull" fiddles are ex eluded because of their size, and phonographs because of a lack of facilities for keeping them In re pair at the front. Instruments collected in this nation-wide drive will enable the soldiers in all parts of the world to form orchestras to entertain themselves and their camp bud dies. It will also enable them to engage In less formal musical re creation like gathering round In YONCALLA meeting of the Yoncalla Union j "' evening and singing to the ue High school board all. teachers of conipanlmeiil ot a banjo, liar the present staff were offered moniea or oilier Instrument, rontracts for the coming year, j Because of iheir distribution fa- with salary Increases approxi mating 28 per cent.
