We do know that Hit ler's best troops are tuklng a lick ing In Normandy, as In Poland. WE. must be realistic about what is happening in Poland. The Germans there are trying to pull back to a new line prob ably on the borders of Germany. It takes FEWER men to defend the rim of a SMALL CIRCLE than to defend the rim of a big circle and Hitler Is getting short of men. But they aren't pulling hack because, they WANT to. They are. doing it because they HAVE to. And they are taking terrible losses in the process. SIGNIFICANT straws appear in the winds. Reliable Washington sources say the Turks may be on the verge of a diplomatic break with Germany. (Von Papon Is "author itatively" reported to be In linrlln and Turkey Is said to have recall ed her ambassador from Ger many.) Bulgaria Is reported to be ne gotiating with the allies In an ef fort to get out of the war. Istan bul (Turkey) says Russia has re newed demands for authority to open four consulates in Bulgaria. Willi a diplomatic break named .as the penalty for refusal. WHENEVER the neutrals the satellites begin defli and infinite ly to make a break for OUR SIDE, and AWAY from the Ger mans, it will be a certain sign that German power Is crumbling and the cud Is near. These rumors are interesting because If true they Indicate that the Balkan countries are getting j 'LESS afraid of the Germans and I MORE afraid of us. T HERE are fascinating side lights In the news.

Just why he should be disturbed by such a little thing is more than we can understand, but he has even referred to it slightingly in his own "Levity-Fact-Rant" department. Now if it was the editor's Christmas necktie to which he was allergic, there might be reason for criticism. This hot weather has enabled us to shed the nacktie in question and thus avoid the comments which its assortments of colors generally produce. But tastes vary in neck ware as well as facial adornments; hence the Tom Dewey's mustache. James Thrasher, one of our syndicated Washington ob servers, has sized up the situation to a gnat's whisker; so today we give you his opinion : Soebody figured out the other day that Thomas E. Dewey, if elected, would be the first mustached president in 32 years. That is interesting as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough. After all, the subject of whiskers in the White House is not one to be dismissed casually. So. without splitting hairs over the matter, we propose to give you a somewhat fuller exploration and documentation. In the first place, it should be noted that Mr. Dewey's mustache is quite in the tradition of his party. For the first presidential whiskers came to the White -House on the chin of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln. Before that, the people of the United States had elected smooth-faced presidents with monotonous regularity for 72 years, from Washington to Buchanan. (Sideburns don't count in our statistics.) Since Lincoln there have been a dozen Republican presi dents, and three different Democratic incumbents. And a non-partisan total shows that the smooth-face chief execu tives are in the minority 7 to 8. In fact, until Woodrow Wilson started the clean-shaven vogue in 1912, whiskers of assorted sizes and colors had been a familiar sight at KiOO I'ennsylvania avenue except) in the administrations of Andrew Johnson and William McKinley. . 1 There's no dodging the fact that whiskers are pretty much : of a Republican prerogative. Grover Cleveland was the first and only Democrat of the post-Lincoln period who didn't give the barber carte blanche. He also was the first presi dent to confine himsolf to a mustache. Of the 13 Republi cans, eight were either strangers to the razor or had only a ; scraping acquaintance. As to styles, the presidential whiskers may be classified thus chin whiskers, Lincoln; full beards, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison; mustaches, Cleveland, Theodore Roose velt, Taft. The mustaches might be subdivided as follows handlebar, Cleveland and Taft; straggly, Roosevelt. That leaves Chester A. Arthur unaccounted for. He sported the fanciest spinach of them all the shaved chin style also effected by General Burnside, Emperor Franz Josef of Austria and the creator of Swamp Root Tonic. Beards fingured in two close elections and broke even. Bearded Rutherford B. Hayes beat smooth-shaven Samuel J. Tilden by a whisker in the House of Representatives. Bui the elegant chin adornment couldn't save his early lead over That's all. We just thought Even the president apparently can't remember all of his executive orders and decrees. The presidnt violated execu tive order 9089, prohibiting telegrams of felicitation or con gratulation during the war period, when he sent a wire of congratulation to Vice-Presidential Nominee Harry S. Truman. If the president can make the laws, he can break (hem, is the altitude of the Western Union, which refused Wendell Willkie's Thomes E. Dewey. message of ships.

Guy Cordon to stay off until the army clears the area of some ' 2,000 unex- ploded artillery shells. This will take two months, he estimated, adding that the shells may explode without contact or through temperature changes. The Reconstruction Finance corporation meanwhile prepared letters offering repurchase prior ity to former owners of the con demned farm and range lands that the army announced recent ly it no longer needs. Land the original owners do not wish to take back at a fair price based on current values less damage caused by destruction of tences, gunfire and motor traffic i probably will be divided into fam- Uy-slze farms and offered for sale ; at a fixed price, said William Kennedy, head of the Portland office of the RFC. Senator Cordon announced lie 1 will propose legislation at the : next session of congress insuring : veterans of this war second pref- crence in purchasing the Camp i Adair lands. i Both the senator and Kennedx ' expressed opininons that the 11,- 000 acres on which barracks and other buildings stand will not be sold during the war and may be converted into a rehabilitation center. 3 Members of Eugene Family Die in 36 Hours Eugene, Ore., July 31 (API Three members of the J.
