Politics in Wartime Nineteen forty two is an election year. In national "politics, fortunately, it is an "off year. In Oregon and -Marion county politics U would normally be an "on" year. The state and county offices to be filled in this year's elections are more numerous and more weighty than those which challenged the voters atten tion in 1940. In January, 1938, when the situation was superficially comparable, scarcely a day passed without some mention in this column of politics of one kind or another. Well, here it is the sixth day of January and we have gotten around to the subject of politics but only for the purpose of predicting that this subject will get com paratively! little attention here until late in March or early in April. : Even so, there will be more discussion of politics in this column than you will hear on the street or around the country store cracker barrel. There are two reasons. In normal times politics gets more attention than it really merits in comparison to its importance in the lives of individual citizens. Why? Because politics is a game; a form of competition; a fight, so to speak. Its competitive phase appeals to human beings combative instinct. This year, we've got ;; a bigger, more exciting fight on our hands; a f fight in which each Of us must play some role, and upon which our attention will be cen tered. The time that we could normally de vote to talking about politics will be taken, tip with talk about the war. In the second place, as various political Jead ers agreed in a roundup of opinion published in the Sunday papers, this war which is our major interest is a governmental matter but it is a phase of governmental difference of opinion. The fundamental thing about this war is the victory; we are all agreed that it has got to be, " otuvictory. That leaves only one possible big issue: Whether or not the war is being prose cuted to the fullest possible extent and with the greatest possible skill and strategy. That argu ment may develop, but scarcely in time for this year's elections; and even if it does, it will have no bearing upon state and local political races. As for the congressional races, it is true that those members who were recently isolationists have been wholly discredited but the issue is as dead as their recent views. It may persist as a sort of reflection, just how brightly cannot yet be estimated; certainly a rather dim reflection of the issue as it appeared two months ago. ? It is true that with this one notable exception, few of the issues that existed prior to December ,1 have really been setHeoJThey still exisl but in the background. Whoever attempts f or po litical purposes to bring them into the fore ground will need a lot of dynamite and run the risk of seeming to rock the boat in mid stream. v What does it all mean? Certainly it means that self-starters will have a tough time getting attention in the coming primary. More than that, it means that if an incumbent seeks re election and if Jie hasn't made a nuisance of himself personally or been grossly inefficient in a way that has attracted' a -great deal of public attention, the voters are quite'' likely to reelect him. Correctly or otherwise, they will decide that this is no time to gamble. Forced Recognition For "months' newspapers in the Pacific ;northwest, and individuals -with. a.matrial or sympathetic interest in promoting recognition of the utility of this region's products, have been pointing out that some excellent' war planes were made from spruce and other , woods in World War I and that Great Britain and some Other belligerents 'were utilizing wood either for combat planes c training planes in their current war efforts. The United States war de partment turned a deaf ear. It had to have aluminum. . , "." s' Now it lis announced that trainer planes made entirely of plywood will!; be coming off the production lines at the rate of 400 to 500 a month early this year, the first samples having been tested thoroughly and found satisfactory in recent months. Plywood also is to be used in making partitions, floor boards, navigators' ta bles and other furnishings for combat planes. - Plywood also is .being used in making some ; parts of torpedo boats, mine sweepers, cargo ; vessels, many landing boats;; in defense hous : ing and other , secondary war-use construction. In fact the plywood industry produced 60 per r cent for defense in 1941 and the ratio should run higher as its utility is recognized. But this was. to a considerable extent an t unwilling, forced recognition. .V : .-4 ' ..". " Forced by circumstances also is the recog nition of domestically-mined; chrOmite, includ ing that to be found in Oregon, .exemplified in '.the new tolerances and prices just announced by a government buying agency. With the shut- v ' ting off of oriental supplies,' this Oregon miner al resource also may come into its own.

It is an excellent exposition . of a worthwhile theme. Y The Statesman takes pleasure in compli menting the Register-Guard upon its attractive and impressive special - edition and upon at taining the ripe age of 75 years, in the more recent of which it has seemed to grow steadily younger if progressiveness, alertness and vigor are the indices of youth. The Duchess of Windsor was selected the other day to top the list of the "ten best-dressed women in the world." Among women, we sup pose, that's something of an honor. Personally, out of the remaining nine we recognized the names of only two. And of those two, one is a former movie star and the other is the widow of a famous football player. What we're get ting at Is, this "Jaest -dressed" business doesn't register much with the mere male. Trouble with these relief maps of the war zones is, that in order to show any change in elevations it's necessary to exaggerate, and if there actually are a few hills you get the im presskthat the boys are fighting on terrain simi--3 Mt.

There, without fuss or disclosure he has siezed a Med iterranean stepping stone to Spain (Gibraltar) or Africa, and bisected the remains of the 'French empire. The preparations in Greece have a single apparent purpose. Since Turkish papers leaked the news that Grecian airfields Were being strengthened, nazi infantry has been detected stealing in, although not yet in large quantities. There is only one place for these forces to go into an attack on the .Dardanelles, if necessary, or across them along the south coast of the Black sea peaceably into the Caucasus oil fields if Turkey allows it ' These are the two main Hitler preparations for a winter campaign, so far reported here. Note: Hitler will find plenty of trouble in Tur- key if he goes in fighting. The mountains are high and frosty; the roads worse than in Russia. t The unexpected recent events on the Russian front are easily explained. To start, Hitler was fool enough to announce he was withdrawing to a winter line, the most dangerous of all military operations. He thought be must advertise it publicly in order to keep the German people jfrom suspecting a major retreat Thus warned, the reds started pinching the bases of sailents he had projected,' to hamper the with drawal, and they met with encouraging success. Their hopes were raised so high Stalin called a meeting of his generals in Moscow to decide wheth-' er the forces he had been preparing for spring, should be thrown In now. Their decision to gam ble became obvious immediately. Certainly a sub stantial portion :of men' and material they had been preparing for use in the spring were set upon the ; heels of the Germans, and these ex ploited the initial successes (after Hitler thought heavy fighting was? all over for winter.) You can tell howj orderly the German retreat will continue tobe, by watching the number of prisoners claimed by the Russians. To this writing, no substantial prisoner claims had been made by Moscow. .'. if ' ' At two points, at least, the Germans did not in tend to withdraw. They lost their hold on Mos- , cow-Leningrad communications, involuntarily. The reds skillfully drove to cut them off in the Crimea. J The Crimea has been held largely by Rumanians ; and Italians who have little heart for nazi busi ness. Only a few nazis were left there by Hitler to keep the axis greasers in line. - After the initial red success at Kerch, Stalin did not drive for Sevastopol, as expected, but hit straight northwest for Jankoi to cut off the Rumanians and Italians ' from the small remaining neck through which they .might escape. The operation had a good chance of becoming a tremendous success. .; if- : "j -- i Howyou may help to win this war: Suggestion.

Some workers may be overdoing their duty by claiming special knowledge of such thongs as when a gas attack will come and there by causing many citizens sleepless nights and dis couraging apprehensions. No one here has any in formation on gas attacks or bombings. Obey the instructions of your civilian defense officials without fail, even If you think them wrong.

It is winter blooming and will flower for months in doors if treated properly. The plants should be sprayed fre quently, all faded blooms re moved and the plants should not be kept In close hot rooms. While drafts are not good, a cool room with a light window forms a good location. The room temperature might range, from 45 to 60 degrees.

McBride, secretary of state and by virtue of his of fice a member of the reform school board, sent for this col umnist and insisted that, he be ing the most persistent crank who had helped to foist the In stitution onto the state, must take the place. He took it, and his term of service lasted four years less two months. He re signed and left the position the last day of April, 1898. .S;T:"fa.i,um.J The boy who had the number ox ja, ,w us. ug sww reform school pupils (being the 61st boy admitted) was Garfield Sutton of Albany, his mother a leading restaurant proprietor in that city. The principal reason that took Garfield to the insti tution was the fact that his fa ther was dead, or divorced from his mother. Garfield had for some time been out on parole at the time of the. opening of the Spanish American war. He had been making regular rern-ts. and con tinuing them after the time re quired by the rules of the insti tution, because he felt friendly to the officers and many of his former fellow students there. From this point, let's have, briefly, a sketch of the life of George Dewey, outstanding among the naval commanders and leaders in the whole history of the United States: George Dewey was born De cember 28, 1837. William Dewey, bis great-grandfather, was one of the volunteers at the Battle of Lexington, beginning of the Revolution. George's mother died when he was S, and his father, a devout Christian gen tleman, devoted his life there after to the proper rearing of their children. Between 16 and 17, George was appointed a midshipman in the UJS. Naval Academy at An napolis; he was in a class of 60; at the end of the first year was number 33 In the class of 33 re maining. At the close of his four year course he was number 5 of the 15 graduating; number 5 In standing. V After two years at sea, and final examination, Dewey was number 3 In a class of five.
