PAGSTOU3 Thm OZZGOII STATESMAIL Ccdem Oracon. Tuesday Meaning, December 22, 1313 66 79 "No Favor Sways Us; No rear Shall A tee" ... From first Statesman. March 28, 1851 - THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING CO. CHARLES A. S PRAGUE, President Member of The Associated Press . v - - ; ; The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all ' news' despatches credited to It or not otherwise credited in this newspaper. State Budget Since it is of record that Oregon legislators, and even some members of the legislative ways and means committee, have occasionally been confused on this point, not to mention mere 1 laymen, it may. be well to explain that the "state budget" for the 1943-45 biennium dis cussed in Sunday pews stories is the general fund budget-which : means that revenue to balance its expenditures is subject to the 6 per cent limitation. , : Therefore when it is announced that the budget is balanced with surplus left over, that represents a genuine achievement unrelated to the fact that state income tax Teceipts have been exceptionally high and that a surplus exists. That surplus is, under the terms of the income tax law which tie it to the 6 per-cent portions of the surplus have offset alL property taxes for state purposes including special millages; and though the initiated law allocating a sur jJus income tax funds to school districts is ' ambiguous on this .point, certainly next year funds from that source will offset some : sub stantial fraction of . school district property taxes. , : But the point if we" have Hot yet - made it portant to keep the gracing industry" going! Did you read Eddie Rickenbacker's story? Espe cially this part: ' , If only the people back home could know what those boys (on Guadalcanal) are doing , for us what they are putting up with I think they would take this war more seriously. If it wasn't for their tremendous successes in com bat they couldn't possible last, physically or mentally, very long. -Yes, it's about time we took the war serious- ly and shelved a few of these things that are 100 per cent non-essential. ' Ultimate in Bungling TTesj it's true that there is an unprecedented surplus of wheat in the United States. It's true that the department of agriculture has been -urging housewives to "buy twice as much flour as usual relieve the strain on the grain eleva tors by storing wheat in American homes in ' the form of flour.' ITet even .here in the west where a major share of that wheat is produced, there is in some cities a shortage of flour; some grocers have none anliand and can get. none from job bers. How come? Why, there is a ceiling: on the price of flour,1 clear is that the state budget division had but no effective ceiling tm the price of wheat. available for allocation in the budget, no more money than it -would have had If the income tax had produced only a small fraction, of the amount it did produce. That a balanced budget with a surplus of $688,819 has been prepared for presentation to the legislature, is all the more remarkable for the reason that the 1941 legislature appropriat ed from the general fund such amounts ; as to create a "book" Jef icit. Economies plus receipts greater than anticipated from miscellaneous sources, will have made it possible to over come that deficit and end the 1941-43 with a balance to apply toward the new biennium's expenses. The detailed budget is not yet available for study but it has been made known that it in cludes provision for the salary increases already granted to state employes and some additional increases, appropriate in view of the rise in living costs and wages in other employVnent. It also takes into account a 35 per cent increase in the costs of commodities to be purchased by the state; arid there is provision for the bien nium's share of the six-year building program, these funds now constituting virtually a sinking fund since little actual building can be done in wartime. - . ' That the state thanks to good management in the recent past is not going to be pinched for funds in the corning biennium - simplifies. C rC I I iv Crunch puppet, that nazi help, in the south must . f ,7 ; I , ; - WV; be limited by conditions on the Russian front The temporary flour ceiling was scheduled to expire December 3 but was continued until GEA might get around to fixing a permanent ceiling: Meanwhile with wheat prices rising, if millers operate at all it is at a loss and while they may be patriotic, so are the shipyard work ers yet no one is asking them to work without pay. . " So the millers, when they run out of wheat purchased at prices permitting a minimum profit, are shutting down. Presumably the OPA will shortly get around to correcting the" situa tion. But meanwhile, it stands as just about the ultimate in price control bungling. On some other items under OP A's control the difficulty is an actual shortage, but here is deprivation in the midst of plenty. Interpreting the tVxir News By KIRKE L. SIMPSON - WWe World War Analyst for Ths Statesman Whatever new strategic pattern Hitler laid be fore 'his Italian and Vichay French satellites at their weekend conference, the essential element in the situation is the steadily increased allied pressure in North Africa. There are -various views as to what, took place at the conference. Observers at Bern think Hitler told Counf :Ciano, TL Duce's mouthpiece, and Laval, I vv -r- fv . ' By CLARENCE BUDINGTON KELLAND - AdoU Can't Right Now AdolTs Busy! lacflflo Programs have to scratch its collective head as strenuous ly as have some of its predecessors. At the same time it will because of this generally satisfac tory condition, doubtless be confronted with additional requests, some of them worthy in a sense and yet not absolutely necessary. It is to be hoped the legislators will bear in mind that ' the great majority of them pledged "economy ; . arid efficiency" when, seeking election and act accordingly. , Whatever the condition of state finances, this is no time for profligacy. Whatever economies are possible will, be reflected, somewhere down the line, in relief for taxpayers who, in view of ( the federal tax load, are urgently in need of tax relief on the state and local fronts. This relief will come either in the form of reduced state facome tax rates or in offset property taxes. Race Fans Happy' That was the headline, or rather half of it; the other half "gas ban rescinded. Ration books were to become usable again on Mon day, so Tropical Park management prepared to open Florida's winter - racing season on schedule. Hialeah track is due to open in mid January. Both racetracks are several miles but of Miami and it was "feared' - they couldn't operate if the gasoline "freeze" continued. " "We don't want to do anything that is! un patriotic, commented President Henry L. Strauss of Tropical Park. "We simply feel that we $we a duty to the large - and widespread racing industry and to the state of Florida, which depends on racing for old-age pension revenue. It's not just a question of profit and loss to us. ' ",:v.-";';'i--;.i: .-... .,'.- . ,; t; So that's it. The race moguls owe a debt to the old folk and, they have the honesty to admit, to the "racing industry. So the turn stiles wfll click and long queues will line up at the pari-mutuel windows as usual and all . will be" merry.;:' - ?-,r , " - ' z ' h f ; - n ' J This column believes in sports-athletic sports in their proper place. The armed forces are fortunate in that - so many young Americans have had athletic training. Horse racing is not an athletic sport. Almost though not quite to the same extent as dog racing, it is a gambling sport. We haven't time just now to start a uj.vr au7u:7ut " -" Before the order was made, according to FWA, case for the operation of, gambhng, centers . Oregon can were going at an average of 48.8 miles wmcn attract "race ians ny tne tnousanos, m hour These speeds have been cut to 38 hours Other reports indicate that he ordered an all-out. effort to hold the Tunisian bridgehead at all costs. There is no question, however, that the allied flank attack in Africa is calling the axis and its master to some -desperate action, and this his Russian foes are making the ; most of their op portunity. The Russian surge across the "middle Don" is the third or possibly the fourth major winter at tack by red armies in quick succession on a front that extends from Lake I linen in the north to southwest of Stalingrad on the lower Don. Moscow claims it has been rolling westward at a rate of close to 20 miles a day. A nazi broadcast hinted at a possible explanation of the initial Russian successes. It said a move ment to "shorten the lines" in the sector from Voronezh southward along the Don was in prog ress. If that means surrender of a wide stretch of the Don front that Hitler poured out German blood to reach, it marks a grave deterioration in his eastern winter front positions. Only an urgent necessity of transferring heavy forces from Rus sia to the Mediterranean theatre could account for it. The middle and upper Don and the Voronezh bulge are critically important to the whole south ern flank of the nazi invasion of Russia. Some 250 miles or so westward of the indicated scene of this new Russian attack lies Kharkov and beyond that to the southwest, the great southern bend of the Dneiper river and its vital crossings. Had the Russians been able to reach the Dneiper in the Kharkov offensive months ago, before .the axis drive for the Don-Volga line got - rolling, the story of the war on that front would have been different. It may be fantastic as yet to vision the Don .offensive as actually aimed to ; reach Kharkov or the Dneiper bend below and behind it There is no doubt, however, that .Russian threats to those prime bulwarks of the whole nazi occupation of the Donetz basin and its mineral and other .vast resources must be of grave concern to Hitler and his generals. -J- '.

His voice was happyr thrilled, a very song of triumph: ""Sings songs - at heaven's gate. For thy sweet love remembered 1 such ' wealth brings' Blue waisthigh. Green spot--there! Above the crimson. That when I scorn to change my state with kings. " His voice reached a climax. He stood for an instant, and then sank into his chair. There," he said wearily. There it is. There It is. IVe done my best." "Gentlemen," intoned Doctor" Random solemnly, "there's your .masterpiece!" . "Can you reproduce that In a v. color photograph?" asked Jenks. "What you see," declared Ran dom, "is what you get." "Ahem!" It must have been President Jameson speaking. "Remarkable! Er remarkable.! "What do you mean remark able?" snapped Farrish savagely. Four o'clock arrived and half past four; then. Just before the clock announced five, Clyde ar rived and with him a ', crated ' camera. 1 - "You did it!" Darnley cried to elation. "How?" "Simple," answered - Farrish.' T just got the money and bought it"- ,But where did you get the money?" "I found it," Farrish, "under a cabbage leal" He paused, and bis brows lifted as he made a grimace signifying distasts. "But don't ask me to do it again." That was all she could get out of him. Clyde urged her into the stu dio, made her reassume the pose, and went about the intricate business of taking the picture. It was nearly seven when he fin ished. . "Get into your dress," he said, "and well celebrate. Fve enough left to buy "two dinners." "Cant," 1 she said, "All en gaged for the evening. Do I get to know where you got the money?" 1 "No," he said decisevely, turned abruptly, and walked away. . Darnley was apprehensive." And she was hurt. She felt she should have been taken into Clyde's confidence. Why should he not ten her where they money came from? Unless it had been acquired in some . manner not creditable which he dared not disclose. . A - So it was in no pleasant frame of mind that she went to her apartment, dressed, and waited for Chico Sanson to call for her. In the halfhour before he rang the bell she sat and took stock of herself. . . i Yes, she wanted to be pre-eminent in some field. Modeling was only a stepping stone. Therefore, the thing to do was 1 to become first in this business. She must become the Golden Blend Girl. That would be the first .great advance. She had arrived at this point in her reflections when Chico ar rived. They went to a quiet place where he had ordered in advance. Flowers dressed . the table. It was evident to Darn ley that elaborate pains had been taken to make this a very special dinner. "Your eyes are tired," Darnley said. . . . "It has been a hard, rather quarrelsome day. We're making an important change, and the news has leaked out. The ad vertising of Golden Blend." He veered quickly away from - that subject which he-believed to be of no interest to Darnley. "I've told you something about my wife," he said sudden ly. , ;.. "A little" "It .doesn't seem fair," he said, "that a woman should vindic tively shut happiness out of a man's life." . "Is there no way out?" she . anlrnf. 1 ' ' v "I see none. She will not give me a divorce. And I? WelL I suppose I am too fastidious to apply for one and have my name --.dragged .through courts and newspapers. He paused and stared into, his glass. There fore," he said presently, "I seem to be sentenced to loneliness." . He did not refer to Mrs. bam ; son again during the dinner. , After coffee and . liquors, . be smiled across at Darnley rather embarrassedly. "I half prom ised," he said, "to drop in with ;uvi fc m Nut. - a uc imla.uu. Would you mind awfully? We don't have to stay." , ' i "Of course," she assented. . It was on the tip of her tongue to 4al1 hhn nf 'hop affrMirifnt with . Corse; to tell him she. had ac cepted pay for being his compan ion. But she did not speak be cause she did not want to hurt . him. It would wound his van ity deeply. His car hurried them to Park . Avenue and stopped before a towering apartment house. They ascended in the luxurious ele vator..: I'i-j !.: , ''-'- ' -Your mencuc- remar:ea Darnley, J0ike altitude." They ; have the penthouse,? said Chico, "one of the loveliest views of New York. Nice young people. They are going to .Eur ope next .week." , ,.: ' . . ?-t- . They were shown into a spa cious living room; where a doz en people stoodor sat about Darnley was presented to her . host and hostess. : . "If you want to look around, f Chico, help yourself," said Mr. Saxon. '' ; For half an hour they chatted with mi nnmnn and . another: then Chico adroitly separated . Darnley from the party. "Darn ly," he said diffidently, "I had rather a special reason for ask ing you to come here." "A special reason?" "Yes. I wanted to talk with - you seriously and here." 1. "But why here, Chico?" : "Do you like the apartment?" "It is veryj attractive."
