Eyes RigliliiLSaleia . The political wheel in Oregon seems "to have turned full chxle. ' To find : legislature as con servative as the present rou ' would need to go back to therplacid 'twenties, tbeloDce'fhe, Jo-seph-Meier revolution" ol:193u. - ' I The organization and control are definitely upstate and agrarian as against urban ' and labor. W; H. Steiwer, president of the senate, comes from 'Wheeler county :in Central Oregon. The speaker of . the houses William "McAllister;, comes from Jackson county. Both constitueftcieg axe rock-ribbed in their conservatism, and the" ' voting records of both in-previous legislatures has been conservative. Both regularly got "low" scores on the Commonwealth federation score sheet. . The Tkey amimittees xellect either on chairmanship or rnajority jnembership the same temper. .'''' j Oregon may be a full step ahead of the na tion, as it was in 1930 when its revolt came twoarears ahead of the Roosevelt revolution. ' Gone now are the voices that made the rafters ring in the "people's cause" in the decade of the .thirties. Peter Zimmerman in the senate, whose ' independent candidacy for governor in 1934 sent cold chills up the backs of the business interests;. Sam Brown of Marion county; J. E. Bennett of Multnomah all of them were prompt to get on their Jeet to fight the political devils Of special interests. In the house in the 1931 session Ray GUI and Morton Tompkins, grangers allied with organized labor, fought to carry out the "mandate" for "free power Without cost to the taxpayers." None is a ihember now, though Tompkins is back in the lobby as state grangemaster. ' j The 1935 democratic landslide brought in a weird assortment of mavericks, WPA-ers, and new deal zealots the wirehairs, they were called. While republicans regained control in 1939 the left-wingers remained a vocal bloc. Now their numbers nave dwindled. Doc Hosch failed of reelection, Dick Neuberger :has gone tq the army. Only a handful of new dealers remain. Thil 3rady is back, able to do lusty battle lor union labor; and Vernon Bull, sea soned and perhaps tamed by numerous sessions; and J. D. Perry, who is by no means as radical as his voting record would indicate. While the conservatives are in control, their tone is different from that of the old, old days. The leaders have a sense of public re sponsibility, and are not minions of greed either personal or corporate. At the same time this heavy majority is dangerous for "round and round the wheel goes; and nobody knows, and nobody knows." Raids in Force :' ,c 4 f "Paul Mallon's column todaylnterprets, cor rectly, we believe, the Russian communiques. The Russians are making progress, ' but the . language of their reports is too buoyant. When you move the pins on the map the actual ad vance in terms of ground or important cities recovered is not great, , They have defeated Hitler's army at Stalingrad though they have not yet evicted the Germans from the city and its environs. What perhaps is most important they have tttiwarted the thrust af the Caucasus oil fields. , Our maps do not give us an adequate picture of Russia, especially of that part where the fighting is going on. Between Moscow and the Caucasus are the great steppes of Russia, vast plains given to agriculture and grazing. So wide is the country that no attempt is made b- by .either army to occupy it fully. The lines are - " not laid -out like the old Hindenburg line or the Maginot line. Only key points are garrisoned. The Russian plan has been to conduct raids in force across the steppes, by-passing the "por- cupine" nests, or German strong points. The only -important centers they have recaptured on the Leningrad-Stalingrad line are Veliki Luki and Voronezh. Rzhev is still in German . hands., Russians by-passed Millerovo. Elista, which was retaken, is an outpost in a barren land. Leningrad is still invested, and Novgorod ' iri enemy hands. f When the communiques speak of recapturing. jt wenty populated jplaces" they are - not speak ing of cities as we know them, but of rural communities or farm collectives. Sinular-gains were reported last -spring in the drive on Kharkov, but the city itself was never taken, r One must balance off Russian communiques with German. It is only within recent days that German retreats are claimed by the Russians or admitted by the Germans. It is hardly likely that the Germans would let their great armies be cut off without a fight. Either they plan to provision them by air, as Mallon says they are ' trying to at Stalingrad; or they will maintain ; communications. In the Caucasus the retreats are indicated in order to avoid being over whelmed .or cut off. . i In short,, the facts behind the communiques and the Headlines do not justify optimism that the Russians are going to clear out the Ger .; mans this winter. They do warrant the feeling though that Hitler has been stopped stopped before he reached adequate supplies of precious oil, stopped before he broke the Russian armies, stopped before he broke the will of Russia to resist And that is very good news. : LegislatoTSmay as well brace themselves lor V flood of "salary increase bills lor county 'tTH- ' rials.

""vu"j witMraw to a 'Having Ears to Hear. . . Oregon's junior senator, after fighting the war in the. Portland hotel lobbies all fall, got back to Washington for the senate opening. This was Senator Holman's comment on the president's message: - ,... uninspiring and lacking in leadership, i J believe- it -was undignified and lacked -e-. , pressions of those high ideals of leadership the tnation needs. It seems to ne it was addressed to the .12-yearMMd minds of "the country." . , Here is a comment in opposite vein, from a very intelligent person, a staunch republican, , recently retired after being librarian of on Tof the largest city libraries in the midwest, made in a personal letter: OMdnt you think Pres. Roosevelt gave a re markable address to Congress? It was diplo- . matic and unifying. I enjoyed it and felt that It was the finest address I ever heard him make." The same speech; the difference was st the receiving end. But the Holman comment is so inept that one wonders if he even heard the address. PJows Behind tha News By PAUL MALLON (Dtctrlbutlon bj King features Syndicate. Ine. Repro duction ta whole or in part strictly prohibited.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 The Russian com muniques writers have such a florid style they have: practically monopolized the top headlines in the American press this winter with elated but confusing accounts of their great military successes. The eager manner of their daily announcements has prevented the average American news reader from getting a proper evaluation of what they have done and where they are going. Day after day for a while, they had 23 nazi divisions sur rounded and trapped before Stalingrad, then whittled the figure down to 22 when, one was annihilated and thereafter largely avoided the matter. - As a matter of recapitulated truth, they have 12 or 14 di visions (about 180,000 nazis) locked there in an apparently secure trap. The surrounded Von Hoff German Eighth army, making up this force, dug itself in before Stalin grad in accordance with German tactics pursued last winter 1 around Moscow. Von Hoff figured food and fuel supplies could be flown to, him and hoped' that some supplies might reach him on the ground as his comrades were near at hand when he started digging. That hope proved unobtainable when the reds were able to capture the nearby nazi rail base at Chemishkovsky and push Von Hoffs comrades back bo far as to leave him no source of supply except long one by air. Hitler has pressed even rickety airplanes into service- to drop food, but i the area Von Hoffs nny occupies is barren of forests (unlike the ter rain before Moscow last winter) and affords no " source of fuel in the deadly Russian winter. Wow apparently Von Hoff hopes to hedgehog it through until spring relief comes, but there is grave question of his ability to sustain htmaolf during his hibernation. The reds are letting Von Hoff starve while they drive an southwestward. Their objectives are to chase the nazis completely out of the Caucasus province, clear Rostov and re-establish a line upon the Donets river In the Ukraine. This they seem very likely to do. It ia too much to expect that their winter cam paign can accomplish more than this, and de cisively crush German resistance and bring peace on that Iront. In fact, such a decisive result, which many Americans have been led to expect from the communiques, is no doubt beyond their official objectives. They will be satisfied if they can drive out or capture the 300,000 nazi soldiers (20 divisions) which Hitler has in the Caucasus pocket south of Rostov. The real condition on the Russo-German front ia. beat explained by the events leading up to the present situation. Hitler stupidly wasted men and weakened him self with bad generalship by throwing everything he had into an offensive to capture Stalingrad. His mistake prevented him from sparing the planes from that front which would have made his drive for the Caucasus oil a success. He still foolishly expected to capture Stalingrad as late as mid November. - The reds broke bis attack there by waiting until the moment his assault showed signs of weakening and then throwing an offensive in upon his flank north of the city. Unexpectedly, their forces south of the city also were able to advance until they had a pincer working on the nazis from the north and south. Within two weeks their swerving counter-attacks proceeded far down the two railroad lines running west and southwest from the city. At Salsk on the southwestern railroad line, they scared the Ger man Caucasus forces so greatly that the nazis be . gau withdrawing voluntarily from their advance mountain positions to the south. ' If the-reds are able to continue down the Salsk railroad- 50 miles or so to Tikhoretsk, they will be . able Id cut the only railroad line of supply of all fiw Hitler Caucasus forces south of Rostov. : - The red attack seems certain to succeed because Stalin now has technical Superiority on that whole Russian battlefront.- He can thank us for that, -' - Hitler has withdrawn so many planes to meet us in Africa that the reds now have superiority in the air. They are also getting large quantities of equipment .from us; now because the convoys are protected by the dark Arctic night on the north era route to Murmansk and the southern supply . route through; Iran is ; functioning better. -, " Some observers say me reds have 3000 planes. - If so, they should keep air superiority no matter what Hitler does. i ' i; , shorter line west or Rostov. Then he will be able better to distribute his weakening - tions. - . forces to meet Mr. Roosevelfs threat of mvasion " ; . HARRY HART, . , ' on other European ' fronts. -L ji,vV.s-i West -Salem.
