They haven't been able to agree on the recipes. The broth they have made is un palatable. But In Japan, where we have been doing the cooking with little interference SO FAR, It is be ginning to look ai If the broth we have been making might be eaten, when it is done and ready to come off the stove, without poisoning those who partake of It. BUT the situation in Asia (with which Japan la closely linked) is extremely "iffy," as President Roosevelt used to be fond of say ing. There are as many "lffs" in it as there arc raisins in a raisin pudding. RIGHT now, China is the BIG IF. The Chinese news is bad. Chi ang, In a 5,000-word statement, tells the Communists what they will have to do or else, and as nearly as can be Judged from the always undependablc news from China the .Communists respond with SHOOTING. Today's dis patches report that civil war is flaming on a wide front. On Its face, as reported In the (Ispatches, Chiang's statement (oesn't sound too unreasonable to u at this great distance but we must remember, It we are to re Alain clear-eyed, that such state ments are always INTENDED to SOUND good. In all such cases, "pretty is as pretty does" rand In this case his statement seems to have started the shooting again. ' IF we could build a wall around China and let the Chinese fac tions shoot It out to the finish, It might be the best solution in the long run. But when a fight starts you never can tell who will horn In on it. ESPECIALLY In the case of nations. ON the home political front, Senator LaKollettc (Junior) is licked In Wisconsin alter 21 years In the U. S. Senate. His father served for 19 years before him making a total of 40 years for the LaKollettc dynasty. The political exports will be busy for days figuring out for us just what hnpiiened and why and what the effects will be on ; the Republican party and Its pros- pects for getting back Into power. ; Thoy will spin a lot of theories for us, and it is possible that they ', may clear It all up. TO this writer, who doesn't live In Wisconsin and has never spent much time there, it seems ,' barely possible that Republican voters of that politically turbulent 'state may merely have TIRED o( 1 1.aFolletles. Forty years is a long ! span. It isn't impossible that they sized the situation up and decided ; that LaFollctte's opponent suits . them better. He Is a 37-year-old ex-Marine with good military record. Seven years ago, at the age of 30 (before he wpnt to war) he was elected a circuit Judge, indicating that the voters who knew him had confidence In him then. ANYWAY, LaKollettc Is OUT. and what used to be referred to as "I-aFollc'ttisin" has long since had another name. The one sure thing about politics is that it never slays put. The old passes out and the new comes In. , . - AS for the Republicans, their bucccss or failure In the im mediately upcoming years will de pend CHIEFLY on the extent to which they are able to gain (he confidence of the general, aver age run of pepole In this country. . That, hi Its turn, will depend THE COST OF By CHARLES The size of the propaganda federal government is not generally realized by the Amer ican public. If taxpayers were fully aware of the great army of propagandists employed by our parasitical bureaucracy and the cost to the public pocketbook, hostile sentiment quickly would force immediate correction. ' , Propagandists, of course, do not appear upon the payroll under such classification. Those employed for that purpose are listed as supervisors, secretaries, public relations ex perts, or in any of a hundred other positions. Some idea of the magnitude of the propaganda army is revealed in an article written by Phelp Adams and pub lished July 6 in the New York Sun. Adams reported 572 employes in the propaganda division of the OPA. Their direct expense, he said, amounted to ?3,72i,590 to which was added $3,081,109 for printing and binding, and $5,833, 494 postage, making a grand total of $12,639,193. These figures covered simply the propaganda section, and did not iru:ludc a miscellany from various district and local bureaus. The section, Adams said, averages six general press re leases every day, in addition to two local releases through 1,000 price boards; uses around 600 radio stations weekly, makes its own films for free distribution to theaters, uses all forms of advertising,, and prepares material for use in schools. ' ! -v : -i Between V-J day and last July 1, the OPA propaganda section added 77 new full-time employes, Adams said, the largest number to be employed at any time during the or ganization's history, although theoretically the work of the OPA should be declining. But the OPA is not the only alphabetical agency to main tain a propaganda section. Each bureau, agency, administra tion, authority, panel and board in our huge, complicated bureaucratic structure has its propaganda section, main tained at taxpayer expense. Fully 99 per cent of this expense is useless. . Take, for instance, the press releases which come into the News-Review office. We receive these from nearly all gov ernment agencies almost daily. Approximately one-half of our morning's mail is made up of publicity and propaganda releases, which, almost without exception, are filed in the waste paper basket. We receive, for example, anywhere from one to three packets dally from the Oregon district office of the OPA at Portland; but we'll say for the Oregon office that its releases, for the most part are timely, are well above the general average in news value and have a much lower propaganda content than do headquarters. ; But prior to the receipt of every Item of real news has Press leased wire. Usually the news has been published the day.botore wc got our mail. ; Offices of the various governmental bureaus arc "cot-' ered" by news reporters. Any items of news are given na tional distribution over press wires. The head of the public relations section can secure complete distribution of any piece of real news simply by informing reporters who call Upon him. The expense of preparing and mailing this mate rial is entirely unnecessary, as any information of impor tance is fully covered by established press services. American taxpayers not only are paying for scores of use less governmental bureaus but, in addition, arc paying the costs of hundreds upon hundreds of propagandists whose chief purpose in life seems to be to fill the nation's waste paper baskets.

Williams SALEM, Ore., Aug. 17.-VP) Oregon's 1946 potato and com mercial apple croDS are expected to materially Increase over 1945 yields, the extension service of the USDA at Oregon State Col lege announced Thursday. A sur vey released this week listed the probable Oregon potato crop at 11,400,000 bushels. A fifteen per cent increase in apples was fore cast. Washington State reports a similar filteen per cent increase In apple production white the Idaho potato crop will fall two million bushels short of last year's mark. . - . Egg Production Down .ke production dropped sharp ly in Oregon during the first two weeks of August. Authorities stated that the decrease in the number of layers was much greater than usual and that light hatchings of the spring and early, summer months arc now re flected in reports of potential layers on Oregon farms. The number of hens and pullets of laying age plus pullets not of laying age Is seven per cent less than a year ago. Sheep Total Declines Oregon's sheep population has declined to the lowest level In many years. Breeding ewes one year or older were estimated at 762,000. This Is a fourteen per cent 'below 1945 and slightly over half of the yearly 1935-1944 average. The lamb crop this year totaled 716,000, the smallest since estimates were first started in 1924. . J i Cattle Prices Lipped Market gains of cattle and sheep at North Portland Increas ed this week but hog marketing declined. All divisions, however, showed nrice gains over the same period last year. On August 8 an outstanding shipment of 1,100 pound grass fat steers sold at $21.50, an all time high for the North Portland market. Most good steers are reported to be going at $17.50 to $20 Farm Labor Short W. E. Gross, farm labor assist ant at the Portland office, re ports that the supply of farm workers is decreasing daily. The state snap bean crop will be reaching tne peaK picking stage late this week and growers are worried over the available labor supply. Picking of early hops has begun in some sections al ready and will get in full swing about Monday. Guy Johnson, Resident . Of Azalea, Passes Away GRANTS PASS, Ore., Aug. '17.

J., family man, today found himself perched precariously, and perhaps apprehensively, on the brink of a bout with Joe Louis, should the heavyweight champion be successful in nls title defense against Taml Mau riello next month. Jersey Joe, 32-year-old father of six children, knocked out mus cular Tommy Gomez of Port Tampa, Fla., in the third rolind of a scheduled 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden last night, and it was understood the winner of the encounter would be next in line for a shot at the championship. It was a tragic ending of title dreams for. the Florida slugger, who came out of the service scarred by 16 shrapnel and bullet wounds to run up a string of six straight knockouts. Last night he was put to sleep In his bout with the cagey and hard-punching New Jersey vet eran. Walcott, enthused by his quick kayo, expressed an eagerness to meet Louis. Nobody thought he had been hit that hard. Donkey Baseball Challenge Issued Sutherlln's Softball team has challenged the Roseburg Elks to a game of donkey baseball, Jerry Hugglns, manager of the City Softball league, said. Eleven donkeys are being brought here from Seattle next Monday, and the two teams meet ing on the Flnlay Field diamond, are not to make a play unless mounted on the trained animals. "This will be the biggest comedy ever seen by Roseburg sports fans," Hugging said. "The men at bat must mount a donkey before going to first base, and the donkey is as likely to take them to third as to first. "The fielders must mount a donkey before they can throw the ball, and tho donkeys probably won't wait to be mounted." This spectacular game on mounts will be held Monday, August 26, at 8 o'clock, under the lights at the high school field, Hugglns said. Grudge Mat Bout Slated Tonight Professional wrestling at the Roseburg Armory tonight will feature a grudge match and an other rough-and-tumble brawl be tween a cleanie and a meanic. Opening event, starting at 8:30, will be a three-round boxing ex hibition. : The grudge battle will be be tween Jack Pinto, sensational young Hollywood grappler, and Karl Gray, formidable ex-world champion from Wisconsin. Pinto will be nursing a sore jaw, the result of a defeat handed him by Gray in the finale of last week's "battle royal." Pinto made the challenge and the winner will collect the entire purse. The semi-final engagement will bring together Tex Hager, popu lar Oregonian, against Billy Mc Euln, the kidney-punching Texan. Both will be campaigning for a future crack at Bruno Angelo and the Italian villain's coast light-heavyweight belt.
