They've pulled Something ficw on the Japs, who when they were leapfrogging Irresistibly down the Malay peninsula toward Singn pore two years atfo, had all the Wew stuff on their side. ' ' Now 'that th'e 'taWe's have boWl turned on 'them, they 'can think of nothing better than to charge Into our mines and booby traps, Into the mouths of our rifles und machine guns, piling no their Vfoa'd In Useless neaps. TrtliS may be too optimistic 'It, pfctur'e. But at least ft Is sug gested strongly by the dispatches from India, jf It Is true that we have OUT-THOUGHT the 'Japs, 'and bcalen them at 'their own jvmglc-Ilght'ln'g game, Ve nave yhskdd k landmark Vn the 'Pa cific WAV. ft is nearly always 'true 'in warfare that the BfeST MAN .Wins. THE hews from Hol'lnndlii con tinues good. The tAll 'of the airports there appears Imminent. When taken, these airports vi11 be a new stepping sfon'e fi'6m which we can hit the Jap In new pla'ces. FAR Mhh In 'China, along Yfte l'vllow rWer, the Japs are in the outskirts of Chcnghslcn and seem ab6ut to take the tflwn, If they haven't already. ' What lies back of tills fight- This writer doesn't know, and .'the Japs aren't 'telling, but hero's a guess: From Chcnghslcn south for 150 miles, the Chinese have held for years a section of tlio north-and south railroad that runs .from Pelplng clear down to Can- . ton, Where It connects With the railroad system that runs through "French tndo-Chlna and Thailand clear on into Burma apd up t'u . the fighting lines on the India front. The Japs pre losing nWe ships than they can afford, and 1t scchis likely they Will GO ON losing them. It's at least possible to guess that they Won't iNl.AND lines of communication and sup ply that can't be reached by our Indcfut igable submarines. rJ Europe, our sustained air of. fensive, directed at German atr powrV, is in Its 12th day as this Is Written. It has loosed on Ger many 50,000 tons of explosive and hundreds of thousands of In : cendlary bombs. According to the best figures available, It has destroyed 700 German planes at a 'cost of "prob ably more titan" 38!) of our planes nnd 2300 of our fliers. (This is rxeluslv'e of whatever German jilaiies may have Wen destroyed the Hussians.) W f rHERE'S a new and IMMEN SELY interesting note on the wires. The Germans and the Ro manians say the . Russians have 'opened up a fresh offensive on a BROAD front, running fi'oiri the Carpathians to the Black Sea, and apparently directed at the Calati gap between the Oaiiuhe SOLClEkS 'totiay guard 'the Chicago headquarters of the Moh'tg'oniery NiVa't'd tlbmlpaViy, ia'ftfer having forcibly 'eject ed fi'om his teffie'e th'e chairman of that 'cdri'cerh wh'en itfe resisted s'eifcure 6f th'e property tinder his control by th'e federal government. President Roosevelt has nerso'nallv intervened to enforce an order of an executive airencv. He acted without judicial order,, although advised by the attor ney general that he was within his rights in so doing. Thus the case becomes purely a test of the powers of the chief executive. If his exercise of arbitrary power is iiph'eid, it sets precedent for an entirely new economy, based on the format of dictatorship. It is probable that the president Would h'6t taKe such drastic action without being sui'e of his ground. But if the emergency powers which have been 'extended td him are to be interpreted to mean he can seize private property at will to extend sp'e'cial privilege, then 'there is little hope for free business enterprise until the p'eopie see fit, either by a change in iadmihis'tration, or through congressional :action to strip the executive of the authority to Set up and maintain an American gestapo. The Montgomery Ward 'company is in rebellion against an agency of the federal government. The company was forced to sigh, under duress, a con tract with a labor organization in December, 1942. This contract expired December S, 14.1 Vlieh renegotiation' of the contract Was started in froVe'riiber, i'943, the labor; union was directed by the cbmpany 'to sh6V that it reprei serfted k majority of the employees In tb'e mail 'order house and retail store. The 'cbinpahy 'claimed less than 20 per cent of employees 'in two 'of the labdr units Were Wing union dues checked, 'oil from wages. The labor union itself has claimed only ft,K00 tot" th'e 'dOCO 'employees, as its members. Under law, 'a coWipa'ny Ss ro'rbidde'n 'to bargain with a union Which dd'es Yiot V'epi'es'ent majority, and without proof '6t ' m'eibeVsbipth'e'c'bmyany refused to negotiate. The WV mWie Board oi-der'ed the 'company t'O extend the expired contract Without requiring the union to prove its membership majority. WaWs brought suit in court to have j the 'order Set aside, claiming Illegality. .' The union 'called a strike to force acceptance of the WLB directive. The presi-i dent's action in seizing, the plant is based upon the claimed fact that the labor dispute is interfering with efficient dis-: tribution of essential goods (a charge denied by the cohi-:l pany) 'and is thus injurious tb the wir effort. ii insolar as the tlispute between organized labor and Wards ' is concerned We woiild hot attempt to judge. Left to their i own devices, the unions and the company undoubtedly would eventually get together. But if facts are as represented, and W' hnvo Wn A a. hial, the tyohtfcomery WaM company has appealed to the court for k decision on th -lAViHiMrm vii iruni,, ., j . .j..-. . vt. 1( ,, . . i,j Vl cm HJUl- tvaty rtllirig of the War Labor Board to rhi. P"TfYj'f "Hint if MUST 'sign a cohtrftct, althdiigli such sighature violates1! another hoard ruling that majority of union member.ihin must be proven. Thus the WLB apparently is setting itself up as judge. jury ahd c.Vecutioner, and is invading nrivate nronertv rights even before ft judicial opinion can be seclired. An executive branch 6f kovernnicnt has usurped the authority 6f fedth the legislative unci judicial departments, completely ignoring judicial rights by 'enforcing compliance with an .executive bi-der even While appeal as to legality is pending. It is entirely possible that the procedure can be squeezed into a form of legality under the pressure 'of mergency powers granted the chief executive, but it seems to be a high-handed invasion of constitutional rights and smacking dangerously of the methods of dictatorship and the ruthless gestapo. and the mountains Where the liazis nve Supposed to be making their last stand before 'the Ploe sti oil 'fluids.

RADIO LIFE DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENT AWARD to th t RICHFIELD REPORTER "Most Impartial NWKastn tat tht Ktpnttx, 14th YIAR NBC lo p. n By SUSAN Double or Nothing picks up a helper at New Haven ahd puts on a railroad party tonight at '6:30,' When the entire quiz show cast moves to keW Haven, Conn., for Its. broadcast. It's a salute to the employees 01 the New York, New Haven '& Hartford railroad. We Wonder, Will Frank Forest sing "IVe Beeh Working on the Rail road" or "Casey Jones"? Any way, it's always a good show, so be sure 'to listen in. Dale Carne gie at 7 gives you . little known facts abbut the fabulous Royal Family Of the theatre the Bar rymores. Eye Witness News at 8. Then at 8:30 there's one of the high spots of the week for your listening pleasure it's Name That Song. We know lots of you follow it faithfully because of the amount' of mail we send on to HollyWobd for you. If we don't get some of that sponsor's mon ey around here pretty soon, we're going to register an awful howl one they can hear 'clear down there in Hollywood.. But awards or no awards, it's still one of the best programs on the air any p lade, and one of the few shows We've ever had a great desire to Watch broadcast. , We just noticed in looking over the Saturday schedule that just two news commentators are list ed Gordon Burke at 5:45 and Royal Arch . Gunnison at 7. How ever, since they happen to be two of the finest, we won't fuss. Then, ef course, there's always Glen Hardy (bless him) on our favorite ' of all news spots, the Newspaper of the Air, twice daily at 10 in the morning and 9 o'clock at night. . f 'A KEEP 0. S. SENATOR GUY CORDON ON THE JOE! CORbbfl was selected by Gov. Snell as the man best qualified to take the late Senator McNary's place. CORDON has successfully represented Oregon's ', land grant counties in Washington, D. C, since 1 926. CORDON is an authority oh tax matters and Ore gon resources. He has caused the Fed eral government to return $15,000,060.00 to the State of Oregon. CORDON is practical, down-tO-ear'th, a self-educated man; a 'successful attorney. He is a strong believer in state's rights and I i : r. free enterprise. ,T-, CORDON believes the Federal Government snbuld reimburse local taxing agencies for lands removed from the tax rolls, to a Void throwing additional taxe's on property owners. CORDON helped Write the original Oregon Coopera tive Old Age Assistance law. CORDON is a Veteran of World War j, a former state commander American Legion; his only son is now With the U. S. Air forces in Italy. WE'VE GOT A GOOD MAN ON TtfE JOB .N Washington now Why change? VOTE FOR SENATOR CORDON MAY 19. Paid adv. Cordon for Senator Comm., Marshall Cornett, Exec. Sec. THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... "We can't arjtne 'with the Judge on that point, can fre Mabel? It's not fair lo penalize the many for the actions ol the few." "That, folks, is exactly what wc Would be doing in this country i( we ever voted for prohibition again. Authorities who have made a careful study of the problem, report that only about 5 of those who drink abuse the privilege occasionally... 95 drink sensibly. Probably dtx'sn't compare with the number of folks who oveicat and do other things to c.xccis. Prohibition certainly isn't the answer. It's not that simple. We had nearly 14 years proof of that, didn't we? "The real answer is education and better control. In fact, the responsible members of the distilling industry arc working con stantly toward that end. They don't want anybody to abuse the use of their product any more than the three of us do." "If everybody would take that sensible altitude. Judge, and coocratc as more and more are now doing, we'd be a lot better off a lot quicker." Tfj cJcf-,'i':t ,i itousui tx CmmraMItalr '0rr niWt'ti, lit J
