THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING CO.
- CHARLES .A. SPRAGUE, President
Member of The Associated Press
The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all

Size of the Bite
Last month inflation, or the high cost of liv
ing if you prefer the president's vocabulary,
was the immediate home front problem. This
month it is manpower. Virtually every employ
er has found it an immediate and painful
problem. Of course in some cases the cold,
hard answer is that the jobs he seeks to fill
are non-essential and when they no longer can
be filled from any source they'll just remain
vacant, even if that also means his business
folds up. In at -total war there are home front
casualties that cannot be avoided.
But In the manpower pinch we "ain't seen
nothin yet" And somewhere though living
Americans have seetnothing even approaching
it there is an absolute bottom limit to produc
tion for civilian subsistence certainly a limit
below which a maximum war

but "statistically, it's hard to explain how the

right now. Civilian production was at a low
ebb, for example, in 1933. It was then that the
national income dropped to around 40 billion
dollars and no one actually starved. So
civilian production could drop that low again
without undue hardship if the goods produced
could be equitably distributed in view of a 1
trebled purchasing power. But in 1933 there
were only about 13 million "statistically' un
employed TSTnw wp are ranidlv annroachinff the Doint
of producing for war alone, twice what we
, produced for all purposes including exports
while we are producing more for civilian con
sumption than we did in 1938 when the na
tional income had risen to 63 billion. Mean
while also, While seeking to push war produc
tion still higher we are talking about increas
ing the number of men in the armed services
to 13 million about the number who were
unemployed in 1933. ,
How, with a "statistical" labor force not much
above that of 1933, can we do all that? How,
for that matter, can we be doing all we are
now?
Well, there are a number of answers. Wages
and prices have risen enormously since 1933
so that, producing no more in actual goods, a
worker produces much more in dollar values.
Then again, more of the workers are producing,
- fewer are engaged in non-productive services.
A great many things are being left undone,
such as road-building and, yes, leaf -raking.
And many workers are employed more hours
per week and more months per year, than in
; 1933.,,' . v.-;,- V, :'.' '
Nevertheless t h e r e is a ; limit, after the
sources of . additional . labor we mentioned a
few days ago are all utilized. -
And right now it is apparent that Uncle
cam is engagea m revising ms judgment or me
"bite" be has taken, to determine whether or
not it can be chewed. Specifically, that thirteen
million figure for the armed services. Can it be
attained without weakening the production
structure behind our armed services to the
point of reducing their potential effectiveness?
That figure may be revised downward not
with any view to reducing the United States'
share in the actual fighting, but with a view to
making - this nation's contribution more ef
fective because better balanced. V
One reason for the adoption of those "big
army plans was the possibility that one or all
of our allies might be knocked out and this na
tion forced to fight a defensive war.-That looks
much less likely now, And it will be-even less
likely if we fulfill to the utmost, even at the
cost of a slower rate of induction and training
of fighters, our original role "arsenal of de-
The Jordan Case
Ten years ago Theodore Jordan brutally at
tacked a dining car steward at Klamath Falls.
The steward died, and Jordan, a negro, . was
convicted of first degree murder in the circuit
court of this county. He was sentenced to death .
by Circuit Judge W. M. Duncan. ' '
Then began a terrific campaign In Jordan's
behalf, led by the - American civil liberties
union. Radical elements set up a cry that was
, obviously "designed to create a disturbance,
and Jordan as an individual was submerged
in the propaganda campaign that was carried
at last to Governor Julius L. Meier.
Over protests from law enforcement officers
here, Governor Meier commuted 'the sentence
to life imprisonment It was generally felt
here that this action was a compromise with
the capital punishment law. When Governor
, ' Meier told District Attorney T. R. Gillenwaters
of Klamath county that there were "two sides
to the case" Gillenwaters retro ted that the
governor was right, "there are two sides and
- you haven V considered ours." In those de
pression ridden days, radicals s were in the
saddle and they had their way in the Jor- v
dan case, which they sought to blow up into
m Tom Mooney affair. '
Klamath Falls Herald and News.
The case of Theodore Jordan did not arouse
as much interest in Salem as it did in Klamath
county and the details both of his crime and of
the appeal which led to commutation of sen
tence had been largely forgotten here." '
Now Thedore Jordan is being held in soli-. '
tary confinement, accused of having been the
'brains,' such as were ; necessary, of the in
cendiary plot which cost the state and the war
effort a large share of Oregon's flax crop. It
is indicated Jordan will not be tried for this
alleged offense, since he already is in for life.
From the Salem angle, it might be said that
the civil liberties union's role in the case was
probably less significant than the Klamath
ernor Meier extended clemency in every capi
tal punishment case that occurred 'in his ad-
ministration.- --' "v." ' -U ;'--Z' -
There are good arguments, in the abstract,

discover just how any . of them
Dimmer .
Well ahead of the effective date so that all
concerned may make the proper arrangements,
the western defense command announces that
the dimout must be dimmer. "Ours not to rea
son why" though the reasons are obvious
enough. The dimout to date has not reduced
the glow visible at sea, to the extent deemed
necessary. And though it's difficult to realizt
that Salem's normal overhead grow is visible
at sea under any circumstances, most citizens
have been a bit surprised heretofore that street
lights, for example, were not shaded from
above. ..
Having survived, at a time when weather
was comparable to that now prevailing and
anticipated for some months to come, the total
-blackouts of almost a year ago, western Ore
gon people will find the dimmer dimout no un
bearable hardship. .
Coincidentally, it goes into effect within a
week of the anniversary of Salem's first prac
tice blackout remember with what a light
hearted spirit of make-believe we entered into
that little Hallowe'en game?

he went after the city the wrong way in the
first place. He thought he could take it in a
hurry by direct assault, but his losses were too
heavy,' probably not as great as the fantastic
Russian claims, but too "heavy to warrant con
tinuance of that method.
. Timoshenko has been hitting the nazi. left flank,
north of the city, where the reds have been trying
to get an offensive started for some weeks. This
might possible cause Hitler to relax his grip on the
city. , But there is every reason to expect the
nazis will swarm on southward and establish a
Volga river defense line for the winter.
The government is none too sure of its case
against James Petrillo, the musicians' labor czar,
who tells the nation what music it can hear. The
courts have not been encouraging Prosecutor Thur
man Arnold much in his efforts to use the anti
trust laws to break up union czarism. -
Petrillo is really only a small potato in Arnold's
fight The powerful AFX. building trades union
group is much more Important, and it practices
the same controls Petrillo uses, restricting new
devices for making building cheaper, etc It is
swinging its publicity and legal power behind
Petrillo.
'There is no question about Arnold's ability to
prove these charges, but the supreme court has
handed down rulings which put the unions beyond
the .pale of many laws, and these are binding
the lower courts.
Latest such was the Justice Byrnes' opinion, ab
selving a New York local teamsters union from
racketeering charges, on the ground that congress
did not intend to bring unions within the scope
of the racketeering statutes.
Some of the new dealers have been mildly grum
bling at Donald Nelson and hinting that he may
have to be- replaced, but their talk has died down
Since the president took an optimistic view 'of the
production deficiencies and Nelson announced he
would hold his job until kicked out
Most authorities around WPB expect the year
end figures to show displeasing deficits, and are
already beginning to calculate the shortages of
tanks, planes, etc, in terms of days, so they can
be announced later in that blind way.
Instead of saying we are short so many planes, '
they will say we were short a certain number of
plane production days.
It is wholly a job now of correcting maldis
tribution of raw materials and labor. No one in
WPB, including Nelson, appear pleased with the
way things are going.' :-.;::v:,,,vV;;;'v

There are others who would like to get off the lofty
bench. -----
Justices Black and Douglas are constantly clash

the justices have frowned on Justice Frankfur

can. Lack of fertilization will
naturally retard the growth
somewhat so we may not have
to mow as frequently. With even

" This is to be a series, under,
the above heading, perhaps last
ing ft week or two. It is to be
opened by an article taken from
.the Los Angeles Sunday Times
away back in the issue of July
2, 1939, written by California's
poet laureate, John Steven Me
groarty, who has been a regular
employee of that greatest news
paper in the world in point of
size for half a hundred years
or so.
Will the regular reader of this
column please note carefully the
first parts of this series, for
times in the world's long history

July 2, 1939, especially with re
spect to how the family of na
tions as a whole look upon com
munism, and more especially
about the brand of communism
in Russia; and still more espe
cially about the changes within
Russia in their ideas of what
Is communism.
Following, in full, is the arti
cle of the poet laureate on the
July day of 1939 in the Los An
geles Sunday Times, quoting:
"When we learned of a great
kindness done ,for a ' devoted
little family in an hour of dire
need, we felt as though we had '
seen the light of a candle shin
ing in the dark.
V "V
The kindness was done by a
man now grown old in years but
not in heart And it is not a com
mon thing for men to grow un
selfish with age. They fear to
be left shorn to the winds of fate
when the years have struck them
helpless to battle for themselves. '
And so they guard against mis
fortune, becoming less generous
than when they were in the full 1
flush of youth and middle life.
This man, who is no stranger
himself to suffering, had learned
to relieve the sufferings of oth
ers, and gave no thought to his

"Since Mm true that Commun
ism is being proposed for adop

would seem to be proper sub

which stretch over all the con

Seven Seas.

"At the same time, we have
neither the wish nor the inten
tion to enter into arguments on
the subject- We are interested
only in an effort to learn what
manges communism nas, ix any,
to replace the present American
form of government The fact
-that Communism has been es-
taousneu in xiussui aoes not
mean that its advocates can suc
ceed in establishing it in Ameri
ca. The people of Russia did not
establish Communism among
themselves. ' It was forced upon
them.- They were never ' con

the fundamentals of Commun

' "Room, she said. Didnt you,
see the notice outside Good '
Accommodation ; for ; Cyclists'?
But I don't suppose one has to
be a cyclist"
He said, after a pause: "I dont
know why you should wonder
about me like that How could
I have anything against you?
jsxeept for the same reason that
I couldn't"
' - Too subtle, darling, unless you
tell me what the reason is."
"I love you."
Her voice leapt to the reply:
"Smithy, you dof. You do real
ly? I've loved you ever since I
first set eyes on you as soon as
. I saw you in that shop I thought '
there's my man. Because I'm
possessive too my man, my
chutney, my room all mine."
And suddenly she took his hand
and leaned down with her cheek
close to it "I could have killed
you, though, while you lay on T
top of that hill, fast asleep.
Killed you. . . . Oh, now I'm so
happy. . . . What's the name of
this place?"
"Beaching Over."
"Beachings Over. . . . IT1 get
us from that forever. Remem- i
ber the gajne you used to play I
with names?"
Later, in a room so consecraU
ed to cyclism that even the pic
tures were of groups of pioneer
freewheelers, he asked her If
when he had fully recovered
if he did fully recover, of course ,
and if he found a Job that
' could support them both If and
when all those things happened
would she marry him? 1 I
. She said she would, of course, ;
but without the delay. "I think
it's only ' two weeks they make
you wait
But" .-. He seemed bewil
dered by her having stolen,' as
usual, the initiative. Then he
aid, slowly and with difficulty:
Tin hot right yet I'm not even
as near to it as I thought I was.
For half an hour last night1. 1
felt the return of everything bad
again black terrify ing. r rm
better now, but less confident"
She said she didnt mind, she
would look after him,, because
she had just as much confidence
as ever.";' .
"And there's another thing "
"Another, ; Smithy?" She was
trying to mock him out of his
mood.
"Wouldn't they ask me a lot '
of questions at the registry of
fice?" ,
: "You mean questions about
yourself that you coudnt an
swer?" "Yes."
They might ask you on , '
question X never have and that
Is if you've been married be
fore." "Of course I haven't" !
"How can you be certain, old
boy, with that awful memory of
yours?"
- He pondered to himself yes,
how could he be certain? He
hadn't any logical answer, and
yet he felt fairly certain. When
people had visited him in those
hospitals, relatives - of missing
men who hoped he might turn
out to , be someone belonging to
them, he had similar hopes, but
only of finding a home, parents
never a wife.! Did that prove
anything?
