' t i ; ? ; , t. 7- j i - - THE British n'avaf attack on the Islands screening Sumatra on ;' the Indian ocean side is Immense ; ly interesting. It confirms that line British have Important naval strength In that area. It adds to the worries of the Japs by -In- creasing this number rif points at j which .ft ; are : nhkv': to strike f around the circle of, Jap defense. We can now threaten them all J around this circle from the " Aleutians, down through the i South Pacific and clear Into the; . Indian ocean. If you will get out ( your map and draw this circle ! on it, you will sec quite, clearly lhc problem the Japs face. In order to meet our possible ! attacks, they will have to spread j a lot of strength over a tremen , Oous extent of . territory. iriON'T, however, Jump to the 11 erroneous conclusion that because we do posses this power to strike over a wide range we have -the Japs In a hopelessly bad hole. , The .little yellow men si I II ppssess the great military advantage of short, Interior lines of communication,-, which they will be able to use to good effect, os the Germans have clotie. "S ' ' THERE isn't much signiljcantry i new from Europe. ' The Germans launch 'two counter-attacks at the reds -one ; In the far north, In Kstonla, and ' another In far southern Poland, along the base of the Carpath ! ians. In the north, they're prob ; ably testing Russian strength. In ' roulhern Poland, they' are un : doubtedly protecting the small - oil fields In Gallcla, which they 1 can't afford to lose. FROM London comes the really startling statement that In the ' past 72 hours we (II. S. and Brit ain) have sent NINE THOU SAND PLANES against the Ger ' mans In continental Europe, drop ping 15,000 tons of bombs, j Only a few days ugo we were startled by the news that In 72 hours we had sent out 5,000 planes, dropping somewhat in ex cess of 8,000 tons. This gives us an idea of the ex tent to which tile air war against Germany Is being stepped up.

A COSTLY CHECKING JOB By Charle DKTER EDSON, political .', points out a sorry state of facts which we believe every citizen should ponder care fully, we quote from his report us follows: ; If you are looking for a quick guide on what's wrong with this country and particularly this government, all you have tp do is . gander the list of special investigations being con ducted by congressional committees. It may be dull read ing, but if you bear in mind tential bungle or scandal the list becomes fraught with political significance; it sets you back on your heels. Total cost of these congressional probings for the war years has been over $3,000,000, according to tabulations by the senate financial clerk and the house committee on accounts. Get that again. It is costing three million bucks just to try to find out what's wrong? Investigating costs for the proximately $2,000,000; for the 77th it was $1,000,000. Of the 63 special investigations now being conducted, 25 are by standing committees committees of the house, 12 10 by special house committees. And here, comrades, is a partial list and the cost: AgricliltureV Four senate investigations: commodity prices in District of Columbia, tion and consumption of foods, $5000; Rural Electrification Administration, $7500; synthetic alcohol and rubber, $11, 500; Three house investigations: Farm Security Adminis tration, $20,000; farm products, $50,000; guayule rubber, $5000.

Lenroot Resigns Federal Judgeship WASHINGTON, April 22 - fAP) Irvine L. Lenroot, former Wisconsin progressive republican senator, who narrowly missed being president of the United States back in the 1920's, resign ed at the age of 75 today as Judge ol the U. S. court of customs and patent appeals, a post he had held here for 15 years. Lenroot served nearly 20 years ii. congress, 1900-29, the last dec ade in the senate where he led (he fight for American adhere ence to the world court but op posed the league of nations with out the Lodge reservations. He was chairman of the land com mittee when the Teapot Home scandal broke. As a senator. Lenroot was the favorite of leaders In the G. O. P. convention of 1920 as a running mate for Warren B. Harding. But the delegates swung Into line behind Calvin Coolldge aft er his gubernatorial achieve ments in Massachusetts had been acclaimed by an Oregon delegate and the big California delegation gave him lis vote.

' HE WRONG MEDICINE coJ wo.jr Washington News From an Inside View Argument, Sentiment, Comment By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth Oregon District WASHINGTON, April. 15 The proposal to produce alcohol from wood waste has lately attracted an unusual amount of nationul interest. As is generally known lu my district, the first such plum in rtinci icrt win uu iiiM-aiicu i :il Kni-tncrflnlrl flrnofin if nnil when the War Production board gives Its approval. A number of the statements made in national magazines and seme newspaper stories I have seen have contained several or rdrs regarding this project. Some stories say the plant has been ap proved. Some even go to the ex tent of saying that construction is under way. This week, the press wires carried a story based on an action taken by the re quirements committee of the War Production board, stating that the project has been killed. Nei ther of those statements is cor rect, although In each case the writers had some excuse for mak ing the errors. The operation of the War Pro duction board in handling an ap plication of this type is quite complex. It must go through a great many steps before final ac tion. The application for construc tion of this plant was filed by the Willamette Wood Chemicals com pany on February 10th. It then underwent some technical revi sions following a conference of chemists and engineers. When presented to the chemical divi sion of the War Production board il was promptly and enthusiasti cally approved March 21st. That wars the first step and a very Im portant one. The news that the project had cleared the Chemi cals bureau was considered by some people equivalent to final granting. Hence, the printed statements that the plant was ap proved. Since the Chemical bureau's epproval, however, the applica tion has been under considera PRESIDENT HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured former U.

The latter group, early this week, declined to ap prove the application, giving rise to the printed statement that the application had been totally and completely denied. The project is still very much alive, and is now subject to re view and consideration by the War Production board itself. The facts of the case are so compel ling that I believe the WPB will approve the project. When you realize that alcohol is now being purchased by the government at a price averaging three times whut it would cost to produce it from sawdust (30 cents from sawdust 90 cents from grain, sugar, petroleum, and molasses), and that the present sources of alcohol are either very expen sive or in a state of critical short age, I cannot believe the . War Production board will shut its eyes to these facts and decline to provide a source of alcohol from waste material at a low price. The most compelling and start ling fact about alcohol produc tion Is that more than one-half of the total requirement is being made from grain. Our grain re serves are exhausted, and for the past twb years, we have been consuming gralrH at a rate of 400,000,000 bushels annually in excess of our annual production plus imports. A drastic shortage ol feed is certain next year. But rtgardless of this fact, alcohol production from grain still re quires 160,000,000 bushels an nually. The War Production board knows these facts, and I do not believe they will be willing to ignore them. Hon. John MeCormaek (D. Mass.) told me yesterday that two of the late Senator McNary's forestry bills will be acted upon in the house during the coming week. One of these bills is an Answer Trevlnn Pwrl SSyi KNOX Jji IlirSiiJllili By J. R. Williams authorization for coperative for est fire protection money. The other one is to provide for a con tinuation of the forest survey. These bills are non-controversial and unopposed. By SUSAN Did you miss any of your pro grams this p. m.? Well, we warn ed you. So now it's Monday night and we're back again to all those good Monday night shows Army Air Forces at 6:30, Chuck and the Bunkhouse Boys at 8 (seems to us the young fry sort of stole the show last week they were pretty cute), and Point Sublime at 8:30. And speak ing of Point Sublime, we're of the opinion that a few little homil ies, delivered in the Ben Wlllett- Hattie Hirsch manner, would do more to educate those of us who spend ration points and save tins and fats, for salvage, than all the reams of dry-as-dust facts that OWI can release. It's the "if the shoe fits" angle served up with a hearty laugh that gives you to think. We've never been moved to write many fan letters, but this is one time we'd like to write one; but we'd write to the spon sors and say "Thank you" for giving us two such good shows as Point Sublime and Downbeat Derby, with a special bow to Rob ert Redd, who writes the Monday night show. Maybe you've guess ed that we like Point Sublime? Now, on to 10 o'clock, and the h'gh spot of the evening for who dunit fans. In fact it will be the high spot of the evening for the folks who just don't like den tists, for the arch villian of the drama, entitled "The Dentist Wrho Used Wolfbane," is none other than a London molar-puller. Holmes' curiosity, instead of killing the cat, has near-fatal re sults to Dr. Watson, when he persuades him to go to the mur derous dentist, who (naturally) is one of Professor Moriarity's henchmen.

S. circuit court of appeals refused today to inter fere with the trial of 30 persons accused of participating in a nazl conspiracy against American democracy. The proceedings had been at tacked in the appellate court on behalf of Edward James Smythe of New York, the defendant whose absence delayed the trial two days until he was arrested. James J. Laughlin, his attorney, had asked for a writ of manda mus to hold up the trial until the higher court could determine if it were proceeding according to law. At the same time the appellate court turned down a petition on behalf of Joseph McWilllams, an other defendant, to disqualify Jus tice Edward Etcher, presiding, on the grounds of prejudice, and refused a rehearing asked on be half of James True, on a simi lar petition which already had been turned down. When the trial is resumed Mon day the business before the court will be selection of a jury from venire reduced by the deci sion of Justice Eicher to disquali fy veniremen who heard a prose cutor . refer to previous indict ments against some of the defen dants.
