POET'S CORNER THE NATIVE WILD OREGON AZALEA By ANNE APPLEGATE KRUSE There were, beside the stream, and In that shaded nook, azaleas; Serene In a pasture, grazed by cow and sheep, Untended and, to the traveler, unseen. Behind the crowding maples, oaks and hazelbrush, that overhung the road, rose gently the hillside, the abode of chipmunk and meadow lark. From the wood, down this slope, the spring branch wandered, to where the wild azalea her treasures squandered. The only trace to the passerby was a fragrance rare, wind borne and sly, that seemed a part of the murmur low on mossy rocks In the brook be low. And from this hillside, now be coming ashen In the sun, this marvel could be seen. On tall shrubs, heavily green, foamed those blossoms. They were white, I think, fulnt blush, and striped in deeper pink or lemon with saffron throat; With frilled and ruffled edges, and upon each stamen a fairy boat, to carry matchless odors to lure the toilsome bee from lazy droning to ecstasy. It would seem as if the Master Painter, bent In a creative mood to Invent some perfect thing, had dipped a brush in colors of the first faint flush of dawn, a sunset ray, and used some fragments of the snowy cloud on which to lay those magic shades from na ture's store And to leave them there forever more. Churchill Hints At Close of War This Summer LONDON, June 19AP Prime Minister Churchill, iln a speech delivered at the Mexican embassy four days ngo and per mit led to be published only today, said the month of this summer may "bring full success to the cause of freedom."

The Invasion was launched "in full accord" with the Russians and the decisions reached nt Teh eran, he added, "and although the execution of the plans adopt ed there Is far from being com plete, it Is being steadily unroll ed, and the months of this sum mer may by the victories of this allied campaign bring full suc cess lo the cause of freedom." Touching on political aspects of the war, the prime minister said efforts were being made "to achieve permanent cooperation ifhd to build up an organization which alter this war will strengthen the bonds between all our nations and will succeed in preserving peace." "We look forward lo the fit lure In which the rights of small nations will he upheld and pro tected and in which the strong will use their power under the law for the protection of the weak." Whether the Germans are de feated "this year or next, the Hellish and American peoples will never falter or withdraw their hands from the ask which they have undertaken," he declar ed. "Together with our allies we will go on to the end, and the end will be the more terrible for our loss the lunger their etrug- Elephants Subject I p i l r i i i s -r. - 3. 1 1 1 1 r ' 1 1 n ill it r Sfm lilt i '-"tVi 9 V 1 p -yy-iM, M l.J" H. - .,t 1111 W Kim :, 1 h W I Superlatives were evolved to ap ply to elephants, for elephants run to superlutives In si::?, habits, reactions, talent, stamina, capa city, endurance, cunning, and a child-like flair for absorbing ail ments.

Fair Employment Plan Branded As Communist Club WASHINGTON, June 19(AP) Asserting Sidney Ilillman "is just as much a communist as Sta lin himself," Senator Eastland (D-Mlss) told the senate today that the chairman of the CIO political action committee "is the driving force" behind the fair employment practices committee. We are much closer to a dic tatorship by the communist-CIO than the people of this country realize," the, Mississippian de clared. ' Opposing a 8500,000 appropria tion for the FEPC, Eastland charged that its purpose is to deprive management of con trol of business" by a course of intimidation and coercion." Congressional approval of cre ation of the committee, Eastland said, would mean that "we no longer have a constitutional gov- esrnment but a dictatorship In name and in fact." Efforts of southern senators to kill the agency, which president Roosevelt created by executive order to handle racial discrimi nation disputes, threatened con gressional hopes of wading through a heap of major legisla tion by Friday night and recess ing through the political conven tions. Substantial republican sup port lining up with southern dem ocrats on the FEPC issue was the complicating factor. The FEPC was established un der President Roosevelt's, war powers, he said, but the supreme court has held that these powers are "purely military," and can be exercised only in commanding the army and navy. "I take it," Interrupted Senator Holman (R-Ore), "that you think there is a limit on the war powers of the President." "I certainly do," Eastland re plied. "All right, that's encouraging," said Holman. Camas Valley CAMAS VALLEY Mrs. Wau neta Cole Ulm was taken to the Mercy hospital for an appendec tomy. She is improving rapidly. Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
