By pro moting t. inner strife , he would have an. excuse to take nominal control of a government . which he la already guarding with 150,- 000 German troops (mark: this figure well: it is authoritative). While "such dual deviltry is al ways possible in the nasi way of doing business, it is extremely unlikely in this particular in stance. For once. Hitler wants a neighbor to be orderly and pro ductive. Antonescu is an army general who , disaxreed with Carol and was nermitted to regret It In villa prison the last two months of Carol's regime. At heart he Ia"pro-Ruman!an - (rather " t h n nasi), trying to' make the;best of a' tough situation. His position Is precisely 'that "of ; P e t'a In In France.

The commies get into the pic ture through-the back door as iinua.1. Iron ruard doctrines- are a motley combination of com munist and nazi theories. The guard movement includes moder ates, radicals, , extremists, com munist and what not. The pres et ld-r Sima. is suDDOsed to be a moderate, but he is on the run. Every faction in Rumania except the guardlsts has been looking for him since he was twice renorted executed and then later escaped to Germany. His mob wishes to make trouble be cause they think Hitler should have let them run the current fthnw and also because mark this well Russia has been incit ing them to revolt.

The Safety Valve From Statesman Readers MAX FROM MONTANA' ' To the Editor: Now that Gener als Lampoon, Pasquinade - and Blatherskite with their retinues of ' aide-de-camps and harpoon hench men in both camps ;have slipped into innocuous desuetude, Tin Pan Alley of some somnolent e.ctor to sneeze and be switched to the side lines to get shipshape and sensi ble if possible with GOP Tusko trumpeting and Demo, demonstra tion of delight and dog-gonney and a flock of legislators on deck to tell us all whafs what and which is which, 'tis pleasing to find the lawmaking mill inside the marble Parthenon facing the pool on the north modeled after the Taj Mahal is grinding smooth, ef ficient, and with the speed not in Tennyson's brook but the vim and accelerated motion of a high-pres sure salesmen headed for bis quar ry, or a hitch-hiker sold on Call fornla to enjoy Its great gobs of sunshine and register at the 30 , Every-TJiursday Gridiron club. But the quintessence of the above roly-poly pleasantry shorn of prerequisites either way can be enhanced when "you all" -as they say in Kentucky and the writer in this lovely Willamette valley . shift the French church-glass mir ror to a nifty angle to congratulate ourselves we're not . booked plus our blankets to ride on the some boat with a man named Ebenezer Nlnotchka Nincompoop from up Montana way Who -talks out of the corner, of hi mouth, cut corners on one wheel and has the speed, parlance and oily sarcasm of a top-notch, "pitch-man" when rolled and mussed at the county fair to . say nothing of nominating, him-' self to win bands down two hard cookies and a large leather medal .. at the annual distribution by the great Mogul Matauoka of Moun tain Meadows who sits on his dais atop the Himalayas, and won't come down to town as did Mr. Deeds because he don't wanna run afoul of that noisy man from Mon tana who has the floor, wanting all , that's on it and won't cease his prattle till he gets back among the cattle via Seattle to tilt back his bonnet and shout to all the cow bands "Dog-gonit! Dog gonitl I'm " not the Duke of Connaught and I never did care such-a-mueh nor sing a sonnet for the Tight Little Isle and the people on It. . DAVID McEATHBON, - : i" , - ."'::: . Dallas, Ore. , i . i t f ...... v . - Today's Garden By LILL1E L. MADSEN F.W. Wants to know what spray to use for his lilacs at this time of the year. This will depend somewhat upon what be wanted to cure or prevent on the lilacs. For in stance if moss is heavy on lilac bushes it Is well to spray now (on a clear day that is not fros ty) with a dormant lime sulphur. Scale insects frequently bother lilacs and a control spray of a dormant oil used now or In early February will be beneficial. Re member that the oil spray Is a contact spray and must strike all places of the lilacs where the scales are settled. A.N. Reports that she had planted sweet peas in early fall, and upon examination now finds that there are only little stubs of plants left. Slugs are very likely the cause of the disaster. These pests have done tremendous things this win ter both In the garden and field. Whether your sweet pea "stubs" will stool out or not depends upon how close to the ground they are eaten. In some cases they will grow out from the stubs. Use poison baits to control slugs, but place the baits beneath boards where birds cannot reach them. There are a number of prepared baits on the market. A lead arse nate mixed with bran forms the basis for most of the baits in general use. S.Si Reports she lost most of her seedlings last year Just as they came out of the ground in her flats. They seemed to rot, she reports, right at the soil. This Is generally known as damping-off. It is a fungi preva lent in seed beds. To control It sterilize all containers if old ones are used. Hot water will do this. Next sterilize the soil. Perhaps the easiest method to do this is by using a red copper oxide spray Mix three ounces of the oxide with . one gallon of water. Spray the soil thoroughly as soon as the seeds have been sown'. Subse quent applications should be made every week or ten days until the little seedlings have passed the danger mark. Red copper oxide is put up under a number of trade names.
