CHARLES A SPRAGUE, President Member of The Associated Press The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication nf all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited In this newspaper. Congressional Boner ' Having been assured repeatedly that "the supreme court reads the election returns' even though its members are or used to be out of politics, and having seen recent indications that other government off icials read 'em, one might feel safe in assuming that congressmen likewise have that habit, inasmuch as their own continu ance in office is decided at each general election if not sooner. Of course congressmen do read election returns and this month a great many read them through tears. But since November 3 there has been an accumulation of evidence that -they have misinterpreted, the election results. Mpst recent item is the protest reputedly endorsed by seventy-five or more western con gressmen against the December 1 institution of mileage-gasoline . rationing. They ask that it be postponed three months, and suggest that it ought to be cancelled entirely if investigation proves it unnecessary. Their interpretation of the election returns seems to be that the "discontent" vote against Incumbents, largely democratic 4 incumbents, was inspired by the lack of willingness to make the sacrifices asked in the name of the war ef ': fort. That viewpoint's fallacy we have here tofore pointed out. . But even if it were the correct interpreta tion, it must be borne in mind that mileage- gasoline rationing was not devised as a sacri fice to aid the armed forces. They get first call on the rubber in any case. This rationing's purpose is to keep the nation's automobiles rolling, not to stop them. It seems fair to as sume that adequate investigation has already been made. HarhlM) accounts of the nrotest meanwhile have hampered the rationing registration pro gram, some auto owners having heard at third or fourth hand that the effective rationing had already been postponed. , The dividing line between proper protest against wartime regulations and unjustified grousing about wartime sacrifices is, we will concede, almost invisible. Some regulations may be unnecessary, others so bungled in their enforcement as to be inequitable. An example of the sort of bungling to which objection may properly be made, is the OPA's recent refusal to recognize a population increase in northwest ern Oregon in connection with meat quotas. That such an increase occurred has now been proved. But in the case of : mileage-gasoline rationing the need has been demonstrated. Westerners will be justified in demanding that in its administration there be due recognition of this area's peculiar transportation problems involving "wide open spaees";and lack of pub lic transportation systems in rural areas. But the protest against the entire . program is. un justified and not even n the interests of these congressmen's constituents. They'd better for get it. Save Rubber: Save Lives From various quarters has come critical comment upon the fact that though United States military casualties in some engagements have been high, they have not . equaled the number of" 'home. front casualties due to accidents? - - Nevertheless, though industrial' accidents doubtless have increased with the stepping-up of industry ,Mt is worth noting that reduction in traffic speeds inspired by a desire to save rub ber has resulted in a decidedly worthwhile sav ing in lives. For the first nine 'months of 1942 the na tion's traffic fatality toll was down 24 per cent from that1 of 1941, but even this does not measure the total result, for the 40-mile "and 35-mile speed limits were not in effect in the early months of this year. The truth is that in September the reduction was 40 per cent; in August-it was even lower, 43 per cent. Reduc tions in January and Frebruary were only 8 per cent, gradually increasing thereafter. : Officials of the National Safety Council credit the saving in lives quite largely to mileage-gasoline rationing and anticipate even greater, savings when this program is extended to the entire nation. In comparison to the same period in i 1941, the total saving in lives ; was 6610. Oregon's saving for the year to date was 32 per cent, or 90 lives, the best showing among he three Pacific coast states. : Economy Begins at Home Nothing can be done about it until and un less the : president gets the notion, 'says Paul Mallon. ;Aad what can't be helped, there's no use crying-oyer. On the other hand, some cry ing might. help give the president the notion., About 1936 when the new deal was booming right along, personnel of the executive branch of government -was pushing up from the half million mark toward a million. In 1934 it had been around 661,000; in 1938 it was up to 824, ; 000. In World War I it had stopped short of .. million. But late in 1940 - or early in 1941 It passed the million mark; in July, 1941, it was 1,391,689. This last July that's the only time it's officially counted, apparently it was up to 2,327,932 and still climbing, t , Washington, DC, had about 480,000 popula tion in 1930; it was up to 663,000 in 1940 but now it boasts 832,000. Verily, the capital of the world! I Though expansion of federal employment is : inevitable in wartime, there is trustworthy evi dence to confirm the common sense assumption that a lot of these federal employes are per forming no useful tasks; that Uncle Sam him self is the biggest hoarder of manpower in the nation. Now that he's starting out to solve the manpower problem; it would be well to recog-. . nize that manpower economy begins at home. Sales executives of a large auto manufactur ing firm think the war will be over- soon. A sailor at Midway wrote to the head office, ask ing if it would be possible for him to make monthly -payments so as to get one of the first cars turned out after auto production is re- "No Tavor Sway Us; No rear. Shall Aioc" From Tint Statesman. March 28, 1851: Too bad national education week and mileage-gasoline rationing registration did not after all coincide in time. If they had, edu cators would have had no trouble inducing adults to "visit the schools." We'll Have to Feed the World By HERBERT HOOVER I in Collier's A starving world must be fed after this war ends. That has been promised to the victims of the war again and again by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill. Even if it had not been promised, we would have to do it if we want to make a lasting peace instead of lasting anarchy. And we will need to do it unless we are willing to stand by and watch millions of human beings die afte we have made gigantic sacrifices to give them a chance to live. If this war stopped tomorrow, j there would be millions of permanently debilitated! adults and mil lions of stunted children. But there will always be millions who can be saved. If European civiliza tion is to live, they must be fed. j And especially this must be done for the children or we shall be faced with a generation of physical degenerates and potential gangsters. But if these promises are to be lwept we shall 'need to begin preparedness long beiore the war ends. That preparedness means some new direction and new strategy for American agriculture. It means preparation of supplies from South America. It means advance agreements with our allies as to control of world supplies, finance, shipping and ad ministration. It means creation of! organization in advance, with an understanding of the huge vol umes needed, the kind of food needed, the source of these supplies, their transportation, distribution, and the economic, social and political problems which must be met I There are more Horsemen that follow modern war than at the time the Apocalypse was written. In modern' total war, Famine and Pestilence are accompanied by four new recruits whose names are Revolution, Unemployment, Suspicion and Hate. These additional destroyers make the job harder to manage. That there is and will be famine, needs little demonstration. Already 148,000,000 people in the occupied democracies in Europe and Asia are short of food; millions of mem are actually starving, and our allies are obviously running on very short rations. The nazii' food supply is sufficient for their evils of today. They are working hordes of prison ers on the farms and robbing some of the occupied -territories. But their internal production will grow worse as the war goes on and there is less to steal from the subjected peoples.! In fact, the whole oft Europe will continue to degenerate in. domestic food supply. The reasons for that are simple enough: Europe in peacetime and by Europe I here mean Britain and all of Eur-, ope exduding .Russia has to import large amounts of food for human beings. That is bow cut off by the blockade, - except to Britain, and some small amounts to the neutral countries, j On top of this, under the pressure of total war, field crops decline year by year. Manpower and horsepower are increasingly drained to the war; farm implements cannot be replaced; fertilizers are diverted to explosives; planting is less effective, and harvesting less perfect. Also, the animals, in Europe are in considerable degree dependent upon imported feed. In consequence of the blockade, some part of the dairy and breeding; herds must be slaughtered early in total war, and domestic feed for the remaining animals decreases because more fields -must be turned to direct food for humans and thus still more of the flocks and herds must be slaughtered. In the last war, the principal food animals of Europe cattle, hogs and sheep decreased by over 70,000,000 head, and that Is again taking place. The invaluable chicken vanishes, and fishing is greatly diminished. Thus the stream of animal products steadily , decreases. To all this must be added the ravages of armies and scorched -earth policies, i Nor will famine this time be limited to Europe, for these causes are also working in Asia and ' Russia. It Is difficult for Americans to picture wide spread hunger or starvation. We have not had such a thing in America. Nationwide hunger and Starvation mean grim suffering, incalculable grief over wilting children, physical degeneration, stunted growth, distorted, embittered minds and death. Its lasting effect is one of . degree and time.' Adults can recuperate from months of undernourishment Children ' can stand less. In fact, the undersized, rickets, and the death rate among children are the sensitive -barometers of starvation. Not even during our Civil War was there a' town or city where these effects reached one tenth of what they are in certain cities of "the occupied democracies at this moment John L. Rand If, as Oregonians and particularly Salem! folk like to think, this state has in recent dec ades elected to its higher offices, men who were in the aggregate more sincerely! public-spirited and conscientious than the average of such of ficials throughout the nation, one explanation is that Oregon has remained preponderantly rural and has frequently chosen for these of fices the outstanding men from its smaller com munities where honest merit is more : readily recognized than, in a metropolis, Such a man was John L. Rand, who served 21 years as a member of the j state supreme court, contributing to its decisions the benefit of a keen, penetrating legal mind and a gift for brevity in the statement of his conclusions. He was at once well-balanced, positive and fearless in his performance of the judicial duty; as an individual he was genuinely friendly and unaffected qualities apt to be developed in such communities as those in which he served as college instructor, city attorney and district attorney; communities sufficiently modest in size that men are judged by their acts, not by their pretensions. Wendell Willkie has been advocating, all around the world and forcefully,; a second front. Some weeks ago this column hazarded a guess that in doing so, Wendell knew quite definitely there would be one, and soon. Whether he did or not, the second fronWias been opened; if not precisely the one he and Stalin wanted, one at least as good and in our opinion better.

HENDRICKS Many changes have 11-21-42 come to ! the Oregon V Country, territory, state: and views, habits, customs: a n "a (Continuing from yesterday:) A blunder was made in this col umn for yesterday, wherein it was made to appear that a part of the purchase price of The Statesman in' 1884 came from some of that "Jeffed for by the printers on the old Portland Standard of rTony" Noltner; - some that should have gone to unemployed or otherwise needy printers. -t , That was an embarrassing , mistake. The disposition of that i money was on the contrary dis- -posed of In favor of the interests of the needy printers. That pol icy has lasted for over 80 years. There is something ' more to say. about the contrast between , newspaper reporting in Oregoav -fifty and more years ago - and now ' -,-t . . i - - ' . The Oregon, legislature to meet in biennial session next month will have attending it in the ca pacity of newspaper writers per- . haps more than half a hundred men and women. Forty to sixty years ago it had two two men; no women. A woman reporter would have been considered out of place.

A woman clerk would have been obliged to take down her stenographic notes, if she could have taken them at all, in "long hand," and she would have been obliged to write- the notes In single long land, with, in the ear liest pioneer days, no way of making a copy except by writ ing a second copy of the original one, - There were no typewriters, as early as 1884.: Very soon after that year, typewriters began to come. , The first two were brought by this - writer and Jo Old-Faahloaed -Revival Charles SV roller. ttr actor Ola Hymns - aad -Gospel rraaehiag - "todnys . im- ML- tuatm - Interna-.

You're hungry aren't you, beautiful? - "We're talking: business, said Peter. Til ' help 'you. It's my forte. Crab your hat before I perish in this famine. Well go to Thirty Nine." - - ,.,.. "We might as well give in, Darnley," said Peter. "Miss Car fax, this midget is Adrain De Croot "Oh, exclaimed .

"Are yon an artist, too, Mr. De Groot? she asked. What is an artist? Heaven knows. A radio comedian Is of ten: called an artist. Likewise, a trapeze performer. A chef .is an artist. According to . De Quincy, a murderer may be an artist He halted and stared at her. Do you mean you don't know who I am?" . - " "I'm sorry," confessed Darn ley, . "I," said De Groot, "am a his torian and philosopher. "Which means," explained Pe ter,; "he earns his living by- writ ing a column in the -papers un der the pen name of Mister Man hattan." "Oh! exclaimed Darnley. "In which," said De Groot, "I am ; both historian and philoso pher." ' "And snooper, too," added Pe ter.: "If," said De Groot, "you bring to the light of day hitherto un- ' known details of Caesar's affair with Cleopatra, or what Marie seph Albert, whose widow died during the . past week, here thai is, Mrs. Joseph Albert: He was. a banker, or bank clerk; not a newspaper man. - What was the make of that typewriter? :.,Was it the Yost? Anyway, its keys were of woodVv It was queer looking, compared with the present Underwood or any other of a' lot of other makes. How did the newspaper re porter in the legislature get a copy of his report, when he had to have a -copy?J In the case of The Statesman re porter and the reporter for the Oregonian, they generally ex changed copies, when needed by the one or the other, or both. V W They "invented", the way to make the accornmodatlons, when that would serve. They each had a carbon sheet, and instead of a -stylus,- as in a former day, each had a hard leaded, pencil that served as a stylus. Thus the one reporting the house (generally this, writer) would make two copies-with one writing, and ex change his copy with the report er of the Oregonian (in the other ' house), so that each had the du plicate, and did. not have to hire ' an extra reporter for the other house. . ; -;-'":;''- ' This writer took the house for several years, and AL Holman took the- senate, and each furn ished the other a copy; this for several sessions.

"I knew her face was famil iar," said De Groot, "but,"" he turned upon her rather terrify lngly, "do you i know anything? Are you ; intelligent?" "I do and I am," she said. He gaped, then moved to the , door and, Jerked It open. Darnley - and Peter followed him. ; ! "I'm srry if this annoys you, Darnley whispered to Peter. "I . didn't mean to bother you. I wouldn't even have come to your studio, because, after all, I hard ly know you.. But I did need to ask a few questions of some body." "And," he asked almost invol untarily, "you don't want to tear my ears off?' - "Why should she want to tear your ears oft?" demanded De Groot, ''Now, if it was my ears there's a souvenir for a lady." , "It was Just a way) of saying, said Peter, "that Miss Carfax is an incredible young woman." "They all are," grinned De Groot, "during the preliminary stages. Nothing wears off a girl ' quicker than incredibility. The better you know them the less incredible they grow, untQ they bore you and you go looking for : another incredible one. "He sounds, said Darnley, "like an old maid discussing ba- ' bies. Did he ever have a giri?"i "Thousands," mocked De . Groot "Women are afraid to be alone with me." j' i f- They alighted from the taxi at Thirty-Nine land climbed the stairs to the dining-roam. Every body seemed eager to be noticed by De Groot who waded through the crowd in the lobby like a buffalo wallowing through a -morass. A table was- found for them against the wall, Darnley between the two men. Then De -Groot commenced in-ai zipping voice to point out celebrities to her, adding comments upon their character or habits or compan ions with an amazing freedom. (To be continued) -.,.. ings, or any other kind of news which both newspapers wanted. ; Inimodern days, with type writers, and most experienced reporters writing shorthand, dif ficulties are less. The picture is a much different one. Reporters come from all large towns in the state, and remain throughout the session. ' a "a "a In those days, salaries bf state officers were small. The secre tary of state and governor re ceived $1500 a year each, and the state treasurer 1800 a year.
