It, too, was stopped In lime, and thereafter the Germans retreated steadily to their present lines on the eastern front. fITH this pattern possibly in mind, ,;OUr - headquarters In Paris says that the "allied com mand is taking measures to deal with the situation and there is no cause for undue alarm." Bilt until we know what the Germans have in the bag this time there Will be anxious days ahead. THE nazis have launched their new V-3, and a bare announce ment says they ure bombarding our rear areas with It day and night. Whether the mysterious "ghostly silvery balls" mention ed Reveral days ago are a part of It we do not know. yNTIL, events develop, we won't know whether this is a nazi Version of the Jap "banzai" charge or something altogether different. We DO know that we'd like to see the Russians crash In with the big offensive they are supposed to have been preparing fori months: " We still have faith In the Rus sians, .but our minds have been unsettled by nil the diplomatic mumbo-Jumbn in eonneclion with the POLITICAL warfare in Greece and elsewhere. WE aren't eased on this point by Secretary of State Stet tinus' cryptic "announcement" that the V. S. government "would have no objection to an agree ment on the future frontiers of Poland if the United Nations agreed upon them." He adds: "It has been the V. S. government's consistently held policy that questions relating to boundaries should be kept In abeyance (delayed) until the ter mination of hostilities." KEEPING such things secret un til It Is too late to do anything about them Is the accepted diplo matic way. In normal times, and in strictly old-world mailers, this method has something to recom mend It. Hut these aren't normal limes, find these matters aren't now slrictly old-world matters. AMERICA Is coneernnl In them, and we Americans are a differ ent kind of people. We feel we are competent to judge the poll cies by which we are to be gov erned In our foreign relations. In a country such as ours, for eign policy, if It Is to lie success ful, must have public opinion back of It. If American public opinion is lo be back of American foreign policy, we must he told WHAT our foreign policy Is. Thai Is something we haven't ln-en told. RESENT secrecy arouses the suspicion that we HAVE NO FOREIGN POLICY and are Just drifting along from day to day. That probably Isn't true, but BK IJEF that it Is true will do ir reparable cid'iiaK". It la high time lor our State flrjpai't mni to sprak up ,-tnrl tell By Charles V. Stanton ' A CCIDENTS have a way of happening when you "least expect them rrlbsjt.JV Afld sometimes they take the most1 unexpected turns. Witness' tiie annua roundup of freak accidents as compiled by the National Safety council. Paul Lewchick, of Coaldale, Pa., for instance, is one of those people who lay in & supply of coal each year. But few of them do it as literally as he did. He actually lay in and under 13 tons of it when he and his car were buried beneath the contents of a coal truck that upset in a near collision. Dug out after hard work, Lewchick nursed only minor cuts and bruises it was soft coal. "So tdtigh but, Oh, so gentle," was the experience of 2-year- old Margaret Morton of Groton, Conn. She lay sleeping in her home one October night when a Navy plane tore the roof off the house and whisked the blanket off the bed without touching the sleeping child. The plane tore out the oppo site wall of the bedroom and eventually crashed into a school- house. Lt. W. J. McCarthy, Toledo, Ohio, pilot of the fighter plane, and the blanket, were found undamaged in the wreckage. Private First Class Charles Smith of Claudell, Kansas, participated in three South Pacific invasions and Came home for a rest and recuperation frorrt shrapnel wounds. He was intrigued by a power lawn mower at work in his front yard and approached the machine for a closer examination. Rut the whirling blades picked up an old spoon and hurled it with such power and accuracy that it penetrated the calf of Private Smith's leg. .After the operation, recalling the shrapnel he almost dodged in the Pacific, he glumly re marked, "it's the same wherever you go." And then there was the case of 13-year-old Gregory Stingel of Chicago, who simply tingled with excitement as he prepared for the afternoon's football game in which he was to carry the ball for dear old Public School No. 00. In his excitement he put his jersey on backwards and, when he tugged fiercely to get it off, he broke his neck. But Mrs. James Gallagher of West Hazelton, Pa., ac complished a similar result with much less effort and ex citement. She was brushing her teeth when she dislocated a vertebra in her neck. Pvt. HaHcy Paul Collins gave a preview of what may hap pen when the boys come home and start telling of what hap pened "over there." For Private Collins, home on furlough, was showing his wife how booby traps tire made. He hooked up a shell, a board, a nail and a piece of wire. Then he tripped, and the home-made contraption went off and shot him in the leg. And, speaking of legs, Betty Rowland, Hollywood strip teaser, was just starting the "take-off" part of her act when one of her swivel-hips bumped the wall and she took off for the hospital suffering from partial paralysis. In Chicago, Mrs. Rita Hatfield ran to answer the phone. Sjlie stumbled over the dog, fell through a glass-topped coffee table, suffered bad cuts on her arms and legs. Dog gedly answering the phone, Mrs. Hatfield found the call was from an accident insurance company making a survey. Was she, they wanted to know, covered against accidents in her home? She wasn't. C. C. Hardy had better luck when he stepped out of his truck in Sidney, Texas. He was struck by a passing car and was tossed high in the air. Just before his head struck the concrete pavement, his pocket caught on the high truck door handle and held him suspended in air. St. Louis has always been a "hot" baseball town, but few fans got as hot as Clarence Drown, Jr., of that city. Watch ing a sandlot game this summer, Clarence was struck by a line drive and promptly burst into flames. The batter had scored a bull's-eye on a pocketful of stick matches. Both the blaze and the batter were soon put out. Perhaps the fact the National Safety council is located on Wacker drive in Chicago explains why it is able to come up each year with so many "wacky" accidents. Beaver Damage to Ranches is Eyed REEDSPORT Fred Sankey, Inspector for the state game com mission, and their expert on the handling of beaver, spent Friday ana baturaay in mis vicinity ana, in company with State Officer Dick Miles, visited different sec tions of the lower Umpqua in vestigating complaints of: danv jige done by beaver families. The beaver population Is grow ing quite fast in this section and the little animal builders have fallen many small trees and .car ried their stumps and branches into flood-gate, openings on ranches along the tidewater of the Umpqua, Smith and Schol field rivers, blocking the gates so that the tide floods the bottom land and the gates are useless. The little animals have also built a number of dams that, have j flooded valuable fields. Officer Sankey states that arrangements are neing made to move a num ber ot colonies into sections where they will do less, damage.

Washington News From an Inside View 4 Atgumetitf Sentiment) Comment By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourfh Oregon District : WASHINGTON, Doc. 16 Most everyone thought at mid-week this congress would adjourn not later than tonight. Then the sen ate began kicking the slate de partment appointments around. The house has worked rapidly and smoothly this week. Every thing previously scheduled has been acted upon. More than a week ago; the rules' cdmrnlttob, which determines what measures shall come to the floor for de bate (and .who'll), ended its. busi ness for the session. Rules com mittee Chairman Sabath an nounced . that the committee would not meet again. This action shut of f any possibility of getting the O. & C. bill onto the floor. As the result of having no new busi ness coming up, it was easy for the house to clear up pending and previously scheduled legislation. The journey of a piece ot legis lation through the nouse to fin al passage Is usually a long and complicated one. Any member may introduce the bill. The bill is immediately referred to a com mittee. The choice of the commit tee is determined by the subject dealt with in the bill. Before a committee considers a bill, it is the general practice to send lt down to the administrative de naitment or sometimes to two or more departments and get an opinion as to what effect the pro posed law would have so far as the administrative departments are concerned. When the reports from (he de partments are At hand, the com mittee may take the bill up for consideration. Minor bills are us ually handled rather quickly. But, If a bill Is at all controver sial or if it involves large and Im portant matters, it is customary to have committee hearings, sometimes last months. Then the entire record of the hearings. generally including tne depart mental reports on the legislation, is printed. 7:n9 Musical Interlude. 7:1.1 Lowell Tbomaa, Standard Oil Co. 7:.'I0 Lone Ranger. ft:iiO Rnxihir Boala.

At long last, the bill Is consid ered In a committee executive Session and, if it In approved by a-majority of the committee, is "reported out" and placed on the calendar for action. The "report" of the committee is a brief anal ysis of the bill and an explanation of what it will do when it be comes a law. The committees us flally recite lit their reports the reasons why they think the bill Is good and should pass. After the "screening" by de partrnents and by the committee, it it Is believed there can be no objection to its passage, a bill is generally brought up for passage by unanimous consent. If lt can not be passed by consent, the rules committee mast give what Is called a rule on the bill which brings it up for debate on the .floor. The procedure of the sen ate is somewhat Similar. All bills must be acted upon by both houses and signed by the presi dent before they become law. . The 73th congress will convene January 3 (constitutional date), or such date immediately there after as may be named. The offi cial count of the membership of the new congress by parties is as follows: Democrats, 243; republi cans, 190; progressive, 1; American-labor, 1, This is my last letter for this year. I wish you all the very best Christmas and holiday season possible under the circumstances. Perhaps next year We can cel ebrate Christmas in a world at peace and enjoy a truly Merry Christmas. Deferment Riiles On Farm Draft Unchanged There has been no change In the procedure for consideration of the agricultural selective serv ice deferments. Recommenda tions as to eligibility for agricul tural deferments are made to lo cal selective service boards by county USDA war boards. The standards used are those provid ed by the Tydings amendment. Because of the armed forces' need for younger men, defer ments for registrants In the 18 26 age group usually can be ap nroved only in exceptional cases. DIAL-LOG By SUSAN . Wliat with special programs be ing scheduled the rush and ex citement of the holiday season and a little Christmas shopping on the side we're fast approach ing that slap-happy feeling that alw ays means "Merry Christmas" to us. For tonight we have a spe-f-i.il rer-nrdinc made bv the cast ol "Winged Victory," scheduled between 8 and 8:30, and at 8:30 you'll hear a new feature and you may ask for special numbers If you like. It will be Christmas and no foolin' around here to mor rowbeginning with the 9:30 broadcast from the Indian thea tre. The Rose School chorus (and they're exceptionally good) will sing Christmas carols. We know you'll enjoy them, so be sure to listen In. Then at 11 It's the staff party on the Wheel of Fortune, with everyone on hand to bring you our Christmas greetings and the traditional reading of "Why the Chimes Rang". From 2:15 to 2:45 the Junior High school will present their annual Christmas program, and along about 6:30 in the evening Santa1 Claus will take over the quiz-master's chore on Double or Nothing to hand out gifts. We hope you'll all have your Christmas shopping out of the way by tomorrow so that you'll be able to be with us for all of these once-a-year programs. We always enjoy them, and we hope you will too.
