In a war to the death, It never pays to kill off your best military brains. REAR ADMIRAL CATCH, who commanded the South Dakota in the famous action in the South Pacific that proved that modern battleships can defend them selves against enemy planes, came back to Salem the other day to receive an honorary de gree of Doctor of Law from Willamette University.

"America will not be safe," he told his hearers, "unless the fire eating, sword-rattling lilack Drag on elements of Japan are com pleted liquidated at the conclu sion of this war " Then lie added: Perhaps the Jap peasants will (Jo it.

ANOTHER problem of the post war future Is suggested by tills dispatch from New York: "A de veloping conflict between union Seniority and veteians preference Ja the re hiring nf ex service men THE YOUNGER GENERATION By Cherlos V. Stantos UIE overheard a Roseburg father recently admonishing his " young offspring for bopping an unsuspecting companion on the back of the neck with a missile from a newly pur chased pea shooter. The father was very sternly repri mantling the youngster and thought, in a very able manner. But it was hard for us to back to the days, more years ber, when Ihpt same father hurled from a slingshot. Back in those days of the "South End Gang," a kid with a pea shooter would have been a sissy. Nothing less than a slingshot, andor a BB gun, was considered "fitten" for a youngster after he had outgrown his three cornered pants. Right now, in Roseburg, we hundred parents who would ishment upon merchants who to the young fry. We particularly have in mind one house wife who found the supply of rice she had purchased for dinner appropriated by the young son for ammunition. Parents solemnly shake their heads and cluck about the "younger generation." Even Adam and Eve had trouble with their offspring. Oldsters, it seems, are never able to understand youngsters, even their own. Today's children have a soft time as compared with those of a couple of generations ago. They buy their toys ready made instead of constructing them out of cracker boxes. They even have schools to teach baseball. We can well remember how grandmother saved string from which we wound our own baseballs and covered them with leather cut from an old boot top. We learned our base ball the hard way on the old sand lots. We seldom ever got beyond the fifth inning in a game with a rival team, as the contest by that time hud usually developed into a free-for-all fist fight. But simply because the youngsters of today play with pea shooters instead of slingshots, and because they learn baseball in school instead of by hard knocks is no reason to thjnk they are "soft." A bunch, of downy-faced kids are putting the lie to that theory on the fields of Normandy, the slopes of Italy and the coral beaches of the South Seas. We remember how back in 1917-18 we swaggered around in a choke-collar uniform and boasted we were the toughest soldiers ever spawned by our Uncle Sam. Our war was like a game of Cops and Robbers as compared with what our boys are doing today. Yet those who lie beneath "crosses, row on row," in Flanders fields are as dead as those who have more recently boon placed for their eternal rest in those same poppy-covered fields, or those who sleep beneath the waving palms on some far away beach where Pacific waves murmur a ceaseless lullaby. We sincerely hope and pray that Johnny's chubby fingers need never clutch a weapon more deadly than the pea shooter and that he never need fire a missile with mot e serious intent than the one for which he drew his reprimand from his father. But we well know that if those to whom we entrust the making of the peace are as blundering and fumbling as those who in the past have tried to formulate programs for world security, Johnny may be called upon to engage in a struggle armed with weapons of which the mind of man has not yet dreamed. And though we may puzzle over the problem of the "younger generation" we know that Johnny and his com panions will be of the .same stern pattern that produces real men in time of stress and need, and, despite our fears of "softness," they can become the heroes of tomorrow, if we today fail in our task of protecting their future.

Roosevelt Defends Slated Mission of Nelson to China WASHINGTON, Aug. 22(AP) -President Roosevelt said yes terday that Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the War Production board Is being sent to China on a "most important and pressing mission" and that his assignment out of the country does not mean that he is "being kicked in the teeth." (The phrase "kicked in the teeth" was used by a War Pro duction board associate of Nel son in connection with his forth coming trip). The senate war investigation committee initiated an Inquiry Into Nelson's mission which came at a time when the resumption of civilian production has been a source of controvesy with the military. Mr. Roosevelt issued this state ment: "Any impression that Mr. Nel son's temporary mission to China indicates a change in policy in the War Production board is en tirely unfounded. "Mr. Nelson was selected to go to China with General Hurley on a most pressing mission. "Mr. Nelsons mission is nec essarily confidential. 1 regret that more about the work assigned him cannot be said at this time.. When it is possible to tell the whole story, those who charge he is being 'kicked in the teeth' will realize how wrong and unjust they have been what a disser vice they have rendered their country and Mr. Nelson person ally." A spokesman for the commit tee reported that Nelson and Charles E. Wilson. WPB exec utive vice chairman, likely will be called before the group this week to develop an explanation for Nelson's selection for the job of stimulating Chinese war pro duction. This member, who asked that his name be withheld, said he had asked Committee Counsel to arrange to have both of the officials appear for questioning.

MARS LE PREIERE, France, Aug. 22 (AP) Young Russian women political prison ers freed from a German camp where they were compelled to'! work 10 to 15 hours a day at heavy labor repairing bomb dam aged railroads, volunteered imme diately to go into the allied front lines as soldiers to fight the nazis. Two hundred and twenty wom en ranging from 15 to 74 years old and including 11 who bore children since their arrival four months ago were liberated from their camp near this small village northeast of Le Mans by the rap id advance of the American ar my. Only one Russian womana doctor accepted the German in vitation to retreat with them. The other women, however, believed she was taken forcibly. Maria Volkov, 36-year-old for mer Leningrad factory produc tion manager, said the Germans seized 2,000 Russian women in the Leningrad area and brought them to France to do forced man ual labor. Madame Volkov, a small wom an, said that before they left Rus sia one girl protested the food was inadequate. A German offi cer sneered and said, "let the red army free you." When she re plied spiritedly, "at least we ate when our army was here," he struck her in the face and knock ed out three teeth. "When one girl went for a walk with her girl friend instead of reporting for work," said Mme. Volkov "the foreman put her in an unlighted punishment ceil and kept her there alone for eight days on bread and water. The room had no latrine and it was so small she couldn't stand up. She had lo sleep cn a wooden plank. When he finally let her oul, she asked for permission to bathe in the river. He abused her and struck her with his fists. "That young girl didn't weep. She just looked the foreman in the face and said, 'That's German culture.'

Boynton Saturday apparently was caused by a "blackout" the materiel com mand of the army air forces at, Wright field said today. I Boynton, 39-year-old chief of the medical safety division of the office of flying safety, .did not pull the rlpcord on either of two parachutes, the command reported after an examination. Boynton plunged through the bomb bay of a Flying Fortress at 42.000 feet in an experimental leaD at the Clinton county army airbase near Wilmington. He landed two minutes and 35 sec onds later in a cornfield before 100 witnesses. The materiel Command said it was 58 degrees below zero at the height from which Boynton leaned and he apparently "black ed out" and did not recover con sciousness in time to open a chute. The command said his oxygen equipment was in good working condition. CAUGHT IN CHECK-UP NORFOLK, Va.
