Unbelievable mud stops everything on wheels, but we parachute supplies down to our troops from planes. Nlmlt;!, In a congratulatory1 message to the. hard-fighting ground troops, says: "The battle of Okinawa will end In the next three or four days If we can maintain our present high speed maneuvers." ADMIRAL MITSCHER, back In Washington, says the Jap sui cide plane menace is not as bad as it 'sounds. ?Tn all the time I've been In the Pacific," he adds, "only WVo of them get through our defenses. Of this 10, 90 are shot down. Only one per cent close In for the kill and even that can be practically eliminated by rede signing of equipment aboard our ships." . . ;He says it Is actually just dive bombing except that they sacri fice a man with each plane. He concedes, however, that the sui cide technique la more accurate, than ordinaiy dive bombing. THE Chinese say (perhaps significantly) , that the Japs have been falling back on Canton for several weeks. Recent reports have asserted that they are tear 'OK uP their rail communications north of Canton. Presumably they plan a typical suicide stand there. IN London Churchill, flatly con tradicting DcGaulle, says the British DIDN'T stir up trouble In Syria. He asserts: "We have abso lutely NO ambitions of ANY kind In the Levant states. Wo are ready to withdraw ALL our If oops there the moment a treaty in effected between the French aiid the Levant countries (Lebanon and Syria)." !-When Churchill speaks squarely jOnd without any qualification of his words, we have the feeling tint we can believe him FROM the meeting or the allied military commanders (Rus sian, British, U. S. and French) in Berlin, we get some carefully forded hints as to what Is to Imppen to Germany, i There will be four occupation zpnes an "eastern" held by the Russians, o 'northwestern" by the British, a "southwestern" by the United States and a "western" by the French. In addition, there will bo an overriding Greater Berlin ?ne to be administered by an ijitur-allied governmental au thority composed of representa tives of each of the four powers. Kach zone will have its own commander-in-chief, who will be supreme In his particular area, but the four will act jointly in rjiatters concerning Germany as a whole. GERMANY will be cut down to pre-Hltler sine, with Austria and Czechoslovakia split off. Her siiips and communications of ail kinds will be turned over to allied control, , her planes will be grounded and her war factories will be placed at allied disposal. ; That is to say, the allies will RUN GERMANY UTTERLY, irom top to bottom. JAP papers please copy. That Is EXACTLY what the Jap sui cide "fight to the last cave nnd the last hole nnd the last Jap, know we're licked but go on fighting anyway" policy is lead ing to. Its results will bo far worse than unconditional sur render. w 1E mustn't, of course, put our selves in xne position oj in? EFFICIENT By Charles V. Stanton Since announcement was matjo of OPA crackdowns on sugar, users, the rationing; office, has been besieged by house wives, anxious to obtain quotas for canning-. Limitations to tea pounds per pprson, recently announced, are not popu larly received. While OPA propagandists, on one hand issue dire warnings of impending food shortages and urge home gardening, ennning and preserving," another branch of the OPA disrupts all. planning through sugar curtail ment. OPA muddling is being, done most efficiently. It would not be possible, we believe, for any organization to get things so effectively tangled, as the OPA has done, without having planned it that way. The apparent purpose is to put more itch in the hair shirt the propagandists would have us wear to keep ub mindful of the war. The meat situation is a good example. Even the OPA admits we have more meat on the hoof than ever before. We have an abundant supply of live animals to meet all military and civilian needs, plus lend-lease requirements, if the meat could be properly marketed. Yet slaughtering quotas have been reduced, retail meat markets are poorly stocked, and people are being forced to do without meat in a land of abundance. And all. the while the OPA is plead ing for more employes to help halt increasing black market operations. We need price and rationing controls only when supply is less than demand. When supply is equal to demand there is no need for control. Judging from reports, we have reached an .equality point in volume of meat on the hoof. But continued controls have the marketing system so badly balled up that regular, marketing channels are drying up while the black market is flourishing. By elimination of controls, the law of supply and demand, undoubtedly would adjust the meat situation within a few weeks. " Here in Douglas county we have a normal annual lamb crop of approximately 50,000 head. In 1944 we had a slightly better than, average crop, but, just at the time the lambs were starting to market, the OPA slapped on ration points, buyers quit the field, and farmers took heavy losses. The result was that our Douglas county sheepmen held over, approximately !J5,()00 of last year's lambs which are now ready for marketing as yearlings. In addition we have this year's crop of somewhat more than, 50,000 lambs, which, will be ready for market late this month, and in July and August Lamb and mutton carries only a slightly lower point vulue than beef. The dollar and cents prices on various cuts are higher than beef. Consequently there is little demand and the market will absorb only a very limited quantity. Another prjoblom is that of transportation. There are, we are informed, only three double-deck trucks ii Douglas county suitable, for transporting lambs in large quantities, and one of these is out of operation because of lack of tires, Our growers usually contract with California firms for transportation. But with a weak market, and after last year's, experience, growers are. reluctant to make hauling contracts. California truckers are busy and, unless con tracted weeks, in advance, are not obtainable. The OPA, if it so desired, could fill empty meat markets with mutton and lamb almost over night by eliminating ration points and putting a floor under the price, to the grower so he would have assurance needed to contract trans portation. Around 85,000 yearling audi spring lambs could, go into market channels within the next few weeks 1rom Douglas county alone. But present indications are that moRt of our sheepmen must carry over a large number of lambs for another year, providing they can find feed, which offers another economically unsound condition, insofar as the government is concerned, for feeding costs are deductible items in farm income tax reports, and the government, along with the .farmer, is losing revenue. cowboy who laughed himself weak over tho way the bull was going to look when he rubbed Its nose in the dirt, but Lo our western minds the whole Jap suicide complex looks silly. It makes a crazy kind of sense ONLY on the assumption that their lenders think there are TOO MANY JAPS anyway and that cutting, down their number will help to solve future problems. On that coldblooded basis, there might bo something to It. Japan's area (11H,75C square miles) is about one and u half times Oregon's. Japan's popula, tion (estimated in 1!3N at 700) Is nearly 70 TIMES Oregon's. Oregon's population per square mile of area is roughly ten. Japan's Is NEARLY 500. Wearherly Brothers Meet by Chance on I wo HEEnSPOHT Nonnun Wea thcrly, Seottsburg turkey raiser and president of the Port nf limn qua commission,- reports that in a recent letter received from hi.s two sons, PFC Henry Wealherly. :i2m V.

MUDDLING Marries as "Favor," Returns His Allotments CHICAGO, June 7 (API B;R'k in 1041 when Mary Lou Marshall was 15, she told Supe rior Jult;e John A. Sharbaro yes terday, she married an Iowa farm youth, Alvin Wasson, "as a fa vor." Wasson, now 23 and a corporal stationed in Italy, had begged her to marry him to protect hhii from the advances of another woman who wauled to many him, Mis. Wasson told the court. She testi fied, in her petition for an an nulment of their marriage, she had never lived with her husband. Then she handed the court IS allotment cheeks totaling SOOO. "When Alva went in the army I haved all his allotment checks," Mrs. Wasson told Judge Sbailmrn. "I didn't think that 1 was entitled to them." The annulment was granted. A. Bottleson Funeral Is Dated at Dixon, Calif. Funeral services for A. Bottle son, who died at Dixon, Calif.. Tuesday, will be held Friday In that city, according to word re ceived here by friends. Mr. Bottleson worked in the shipyards In Portland until just recently, when lie and his wife moved to Dixon, where their son resides. Before moving to Portland, the Hottlesons made their home in Kosehurg, at which lime Mr. Bottleson was a salesman for a large meat packing concern Early Action on Sugar PORTLAND, June 6-(API-Ration board No. I has denied the request oT a woman for ten jiounds of canning sugar lor her liahy. When the clerk askrd the b.i hy's name the woman replied with devastating feminine logic: "(Hi, the baby Isn't Borrr yet; b'lt 1 wat to eet mv e-inni:-...' I don:; before I oto the hutuiUl.' Hotels, Cafes to Get Less Food In My, August WASHINGTON, June 7 (AP) Hotels and restaurants will get less meats, fats, canned fruits, vegetables and sugar during July and August. The reductions, soon to he an nounced by OPA, will be 20. per cent for meats and fats, 12 to 15 per cent for fruits and vegetables, and 20 to 25 per cent for sugar. Differences in the classification of institutional users account for the range. . ...... It was reported that OPA has received numerous ' complaints from housewives that public eas ing places have been receiving too much of the scarce food sup ply. Civilians will be allotted about the same amount of meat for the July-September period as for the current quarter although total supplies are expected to be nine per cent smaller. This was announced today by the War Food administration in a statement showing now next quarter's supply will be divided. Carrying, out earlier official forecasts, the statement said tnat, due to the prospective reduced level of summer slaughter and to a lack of reserves, no meat will be allotted for lend-lease or for eign relief during the coming quarter.

First of a group of opposition witnesses expected to be heard durine the next three davs. A. .1. Brumbaugh, vice president of the American council on education, told the house postwar military policy committee: "The opposition of representa tives of higher education to Im mediate action on conscription is due primarily to the fear of what universal military training will do in regimenting the minds of our youths." "It is impossible to give only military training the body can not be regimented without com parable regimentation of the mind." For congress to act now on a peacetime draft program. Brum baugh said, is to declare "in ad vance that we have no faith in collective security and inter national action and to assert ' that we believe that World war III is inevitable and that it will come soon." Before taking such action, he suggested, we must first make an earnest and sincere effort to establish an international struc ture which will maintain the peace." Brumbaugh said "the summary 01 me consiaerea judgment ot ap proximately 1,100 eolleee and uni versity presidents indicates that they believe that it is now unwise to enact legislation requiring uni versal military service." DIAL:LOQ By SUSAN We've been trying to hear the new "Smile Time" show at 7:15 in the mornine. but. since earlv rising is not included in our good habits, we've missed it. However, on no less authority than Mr. Walters, who is up with the birds to get KitiNrt on tne air. at biao each a. m and quoting Mr. Chandler, our chief engineer, "It's corn, dui cream style." liin says it's good for a few good laughs each day and the music is of the okeh variety. So, if you are up ana DreaKiasting aDout that time, we'd, suggest that you brighten up your morning mood with a touch of the nonsense and music that comes with Smile Time. For tonight: Music You Rc, member, 6:15; Starlight. Seren ade, 6:30; Bulldog Drummond, 8, and Wings Over the Nation at 9:30, plus Glen Hardy at 9:00 and Rex Miller at 9:15. Bulldog Drum mond coos on n sustaining bnsis tonight, but don't think that throws hlra off his stride. Brief ly, tonight's plot concerns five murders in different parts of the country and a weird scheme of espionage. And, we ask you, what more coum any wno-aun-u ian ask of thirty minutes. We'd like to mention Music for a Half Hour heard on Saturday afternoons at 1:30. It s one of the best spots ot music during the whole week, and we'd suggest that you give it a listen this com ing Saturday; we're sure you'll enjoy it. . First Meer of Allied Council Ends "Abruptly" LONDON, June 6 (AP) A hint that the site of tho next "Big Three" parley already had been set was given commons today, as one report that the first meeting of the delegates to the allied con trol council in Berlin had "ended abruptly" created new anxiety here. Gen. Eisenhower and Marshal Montgomery left soon after the Berlin meeting without attending a Russian banquet, saying they had to return to their headquar ters. The first brief Berlin meeting of U. S., British, Russian, and French delegates left unsettled details concerning the organiza tion of the allied control council and how it will govern Gormnny. Electrical Inspection Fees Report Corrected Statements made concerning procedure -in handling electrical inspection fees, in connection with city budget studies, are in correct, Erwin Short, chief of po lice, who also serves as electrical inspector, reported today. Inspec tion fees are not retained by the inspector, he said, but are turned over to the city treasurer ana a flat allowance of 515 per montn is paid from the general fund for the service. R-E-T-C-H!
