been too many cookg In the Eu
ropean kitchen. 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.

Week's Picture of
Farm Situation in
Oregon Described
By Bruce W. 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.

Dr. Thomas L. Meador, Port

precautionary measure by Dr.
Erickson, who said "the situation
In Oregon is not critical" com

Walcott Wins Over
Gomez by Knockout
NEW YORK, Aug. 17 CB
Jersey Joe Walcott, a Camden,
N. 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.
