Drama 'Without Sound'
Undoubtedly it was, as the president himself
.L said, a "momentous moment," this meeting of
; President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill,
1 Generals Gicaud and de Gaulle in North Africa,
i One senses the drama of the conference as he
reads the; press reports.' The setting itself was
. exotic in the warm and colorful and strange
land of the ancient Moors. The title and rank
of the dramatis personae and the theme of their
dialogue were of the very highest importance.
: The narrow confines of a garden, or the con
ference room of a hotel this was the stage,
;-and all unknowingly, the peoples of the world
-were audience.
And for these peoples, allied and enemy,
straining Americans, dogged Britons, hopeful
-Chinese, vengeful Russians, yearning French
i ' and Dutch and Norwegians, fearful Germans,
disillusioned Italians and sadistic Japanese, the
! drama, for all the reporting by, press and radio,
i remains but a picture, a motion picture, per
haps, but "without sound." The principals met;
they talked; they agreed actors in a great
pantomime at which the' eavesdropping world
could hear nothing.
The authorized statement of six paragraphs
gives little that is definite and informing. We
: . are told that a war plan for 1943 was agreed on
designed to maintain the initiative in all thea
tres. Surely the 1943 strategy was mapped ere
this; and the president in his message a few
weeks ago predicted a pounding of the enemy
everywhere. Unconditional surrender" of Ger
many, Italy and Japan was proclaimed as the
price of peace, which gives formal assurance to
what had been the general supposition. Maxi
mum material aid to Russia and China was
promised, which is repetition. New and promis
ing was the report of the meeting of Generals
Giraud and de Gaulle with its announcement of
negotiations looking toward a united French
movement for liberation of France. This, if it
culminates, will be a great gain to the allied
cause. "V
Lacking is any word of the formation of a
working United Nations war council, or peace
council'' either. There was a bow to Premier
Stalin, another to Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek, but no indication that in the planning for
the war and for the peaceeither is admitted to
full partnership. The North African political
situation remains nebulous.
Of course the conferees could not proclaim
to the world what their 1943 war plan is. The
revelation of the plan will come in its execution.
Appraisal of this historic meeting must await
the denouement of the drama. When the re
corded words are made public, or better yet,
when deeds are performed both of offensive
warfare and of augmented aid to the allies' then
we can better tell whether Casablanca is a nail
on which history hangs, or whether it is but a
wooden peg soon broken. The meeting was
timely; with tense eagerness the allied world
hopes that it will bear fruit in 1943.
Jones Wine Bill
If the legislature wishes to wreck the' Knox
plan of liquor control; if it desires to add fuel
to the flame of the smouldering fires of pro
hibition, it needs only to enact into law the
Jones wine bill, HB 61. Under the guise of help
ing provide a market for Oregon-produced ber
ries (which it would undoubtedly do) it would
legalize the sale at bars of wines containing up
to 14 per cent alcohol. The effect would be to
'Change at Burlington
The papers say ; that the old union depot
: at Burlington, Iowa, was burned with loss of
four lives. How well we .remember that depot
in the days of its early glory forty years ago.
Living 40 miles north on the "Rock Island" it
was the change point for the "Burlington" or
: the "Q" as it was familiarly known, when one
wanted to go over into Illinois. The union
depot was a busy place, with a stationmaster
whose stentorian voice called out the trains.
Of course it had a lunch counter and news
stand as did most of the depots of any conse
quence in those days. Upstairs were' the divi
sion offices for the Burlington railroad.
Then we saw it again some seven or eight
years ago in the days of its decline. Travel
had gone to stage lines. The station was de
serted, the lunch room gone, the one ticket
seller had little to do. The revival of passenger
travel by rail gave it new life, and the depot
was being rebuilt when the fire came.
There are thousands of people in the west
who have "changed cars" at the old union
depot in Burlington. A wave of nostalgia will
come over them when they read it was de
stroyed by fire. It has its counterpart in hun
dreds of junction points, where at the turn of
the century the depot, (and it was pronounced
dee-po and not day-po) was a pulsing center
of activity, rich in human interest, throbbing
with the mild excitement of change, of new
faces, of trains flashing in, pulling out. Driven
by the changes of the war a new generation
is learning about depots and railway trains and
"the mystery of Pullman berths.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-&P)-A change of gov
ernment rationing tone toward business representa
tives here has become evident the past two weeks.
A friendlier and more cooperative greeting has
been encountered by most busi
nessmen in approaching OPA,
WPB, and the other non-military
administrations. In several
cases, WPB has recovered
somehow scarce raw war ma
terials which could not be used
and turned these back to indus
try to keep them going on
civilian goods.
This is a far cry from the
earlier days when all business
was kicked from door to door
in Washington with the shout
"don't you know there la a
war on, which was used to
cover all manner of injustices and mistakes.
All that a businessman has to do now in deal
ing with the bureaucrats is to threaten to take
his case to the senate's small business committee
or the Truman committee, and immediately bureau
cratic coldness warms. i
; But the change is only of tone, not of heart.
The bureaucrats are just scared, not converted,
There has been little change in personnel of the
bureaus thus far. Only here and there, underlings
of an autocratic temperament have been replaced.
New OPA director, Prentiss Brown, has indi
cated he will wait a week or two before doiru?

'The test is not whether an expanded market
lor Oregon fruits would be developed. That is
conceded. The very expansion of the market
in this form is a measure of the menace this
wine bill offers. Making wines available for
purchase by the drink at public bars is just
another step in bringing back the old saloon.
Two years ago a similar bill was passed by
the legislature and vetoed by this writer for
the reasons above set forth. We do not like to
be in the position of opposing development of
local industry; but we think Oregon fruits and
berries deserve a far more wholesome market
than -manufacture into potent alcoholic bever
ages. The social dangers from sale of wine by
the glass are so great as to overweigh the
possible economic advantage to producers
mn advantage which soon might be completely
lost through increase in berry acreage. ;
The bill has passed the house; it should be
defeated in the senate. If it is not, then look
for the ghost of prohibition to start struggling
with his shroud.
Crack-down Bills
The usual crop, of bills by select groups to
llamstxing competition within their own trade
j is showing up at the legislature. ;
The cosmeticians (some of them) want their
occupation decreed to be a rofessjon,w and
would fix completion of a high school course
as a requisite to obtaining a license.
The barbers want a bill to leglize price-fixing.
The dentists propose a seU-governing coun-"
cil which would crack down on the "non-ethical'
practioners who are so sinful as to ad
vertise. . . ' ; -r"'
The optometrists are in with a new bill to
further tighten up their regulations. i
The best test on all these bills is this: are
they in the interest of a special group, or in the
broad public interest? In general Oregon has
adequate laws to- protect the public. All these
trades or professions are operating profitably
now. Why legalize crack-downs on those who
simply do not conform to the notions of others
in their vocation? ,
Medford is to be"blessed with an FHA proj
ect, the building of 125. "row houses." Tor the
duration they will be occupied by civilian
workers at Camp White. Afterwards Mexlford
will have them for the "enduration."

The struggle within, for control of the various
set-ups, is thus proceeding to a less spirited man
ner, with various cliques of the Frankfurter and
other schools voting to maintain their jobs in the
face of congressional wrath.
The movement to improve the war lot of the
negro seems to be drifting into radical hands. The
twO reputable negro advisors of the war and navy
departments have silently resigned.
The common interpretation Is that their moves
were intended as a protest against cancellation
of a scheduled hearing before Mr. Roosevelt's fair
play board, at which the negroes were to air more
complaints.
Agitation is being taken up by such radicals as
A. Philip Randolph, who calls himself-"national
director of the march on Washington movement,
and-is threatening to start a campaign of civil
disobedience and non-cooperation. Randolph ap
parently wants to have negroes violate enmasse
- the laws to which they are opposed in the manner
Of Gandhists in India.
v This would be. a campaign of violence under the
name of non-violence. The Indian with whom
Gandhi deals has probably the most phlegmatic.
Immovable personality of any nationality in the
world, and even so, bloodshed has generally fol
lowed Gandhi's campaigns.
We in this country, - black and white, lose our
tempers much easier than the Indians. In war-time,
therefore, Handolph's plan, which he promises to
take up In a May meeting of his following, may
assume a very serious Insurrectionist legal com
plication in war-time. i
The promising meeting of negro educators in
North Carolina last November has unfortunately
come forward "with nothing, and the moderates
on both sides, who might have developed a sound,
practical educational program, are finding their
voices drowned out by the -self-seeking politicians
who are continuing to promote bitterness. ' ;
The New York economist, Walter Spahr has
definitely caught the treasury and federal reserve
board in Issuing $660,000,000 of greenbacks. - This
pile of notes was printed about 10 years ago, but
never issued, as congress repealed the law under
which issuance was contemplated. - '
Apparently, the treasury and Jboard agreed In
IJecember to issue these notes now merely to save
the cost of printing normal currency, in the belief
that $660,000,000 is a small amount these days,"
and no one would raise a fuss.
The treasury deposited the notes in Federal Re- '
serve banks and issued checks to pay war bills, al- -QiougL
they were not added to tie debt or counted
to the monetary backing of gold and sflver.
The step is hot in any way a threat to the
standing of currency in the amount issued, but the
Issuance o unbacked currency certainly Is evidence
of the lightness with which government nff?rfaT
regard the gold, silver and bond requirements of
sosind money.

of the return Form 1040 (Salar

necessary expenses incurred in
this connection may be deduct
ed. A distinction must be made,
however, between expense at
tributable to one's employment,
and personal expense, which
may not be deducted. A few ex
amples will illustrate.
Expenses of travel in connec

business, are deductible,' and
such expense ordinarily includes
transportation, meals, and lodg
ing, but it does not include -the
cost of laundry, clothes pressing,
and other expenses of a nature
such as would be incurred in any
work, such as commuters' fares
and bus and street car fares, are
considered as personal expenses,

i- At the corner I stopped, de

in through the front door, i
I was lucky though. They had
all gone. Only Allan was waiting
for me. An Allan full of hew im
portance and joy.
r "At last!" he greeted me jubil
antly. T thought you would
never come! I have the most -marvelous
news, Kay. It's still a
secret, ' and not. quite sure but
the Chief said I could tell you.
He's gone to the airport with the
two bigwigs. They left me be

taking over the shipyard, and
they want someone to run the

They have bigger plans for him.

dearest how would you like, to

It all came out In a rush. Al- "
i Ian was too excited himself to
notice ho wupset I was. And it
broke me down. :
' I threw myself into his arms
and bawled, gasping out between
sobs: Td like it, darling! I'd like
It fine. Only, I cant!"
I guess he didn't hear jthe end "
of my speech. He started kissing
me as if I'd said yea" uncondi

glorious future. And X kissed him
back and raved too about my
Inglorious past. I'm afraid none .

But in the end I won out, and;
Allan , listened to me when I
wailed, in answer-to his sugges
tion of immediate wedding bells:
"But Allan! Didn't you hear
what I said? We can't. I have to
get free, first." Please help me
. find him! Fve seen him tonight,
before I came in. But he's gone
again. Oh, please, Allan, help

you!" " .
; "You mean, you are married?
he asked incredulously.
j I nodded tearfully. "Yes. But
It only lasted three weeks,
counting from the day I met him
to when he walked out on me."
Allan didn't get angry; He on
ly" looked sort of numb, ' and
white around the mouth.
said he needed me that I might
be able to help him.,. - ,
-What did he need help for?"
Allan asked quietly.
; : "I dont know. He was moody.
Something was worrying him. I
: ; never found out what. And I was
such a ninny, I didn't really askt
I thought It was wonderful
having a secret sorrow."
You were a baby," Allan
said, stroking my hands.
'No. A tdolT I corrected.
' ; "Well, from Elk ton we drove to
White ? Sulphur, stopping off In '
Washington to buy clothes for
; ' me. You see, Td come away with 1
Just a weekend bag."
"Was he after your money?"
"Allan asked suspiciously.
I laughed drearily. "Lord, no!
He had lota and lots of money,
and drew more in Washington.
And he took me to the Sweet
Briar for our honeymoon. Only
there wasnt much honey In it.
r He grew sadder and quieter each
day. We had a big suite a liv
ing room and two bedrooms " -
"""On your honeymoon?. Allan
threw in derisively. ;
: I nodded. "Yes, on our honey
' moon. And one morning I found
- a thick package on my break
' fast tray. Full of money. Five
thousand dollars. And a note. I
have it upstairs the money too.
But I know It by heart Tm
sorry It didnt work out. This
will , help you rectify our mis
take, it said. That was all."
Allan said nothing eloquently,
-for a long while. At last he
asked: "And what did you do,
poor darling?
Packed up and went on to
the people I was scheduled to
visit The bill was .paid, a full
week in advance. They actually
gave me back money when I
left And the way they looked
at me!" X shuddered reminiscent
ly. "I'm. sure they thought I'd
never been married."
"Either he's just a skunk or
plain carry," Allan commented. .
"Crazy, I agreed. "But not in
a medical sense. With grief,
about something. Perhaps if I'd
been older and less of a
moron' ,
"Why didnt you tell your par- ;
ents and get a divorce, or annul- '
jment?' Allan cut into my ex
planations. "Because Mother was taken to
the hospital for an operation,
straight from the train," I told
him. "And when they brought
her home she was so weak and
m, I couldn't risk1 worrying her.
Then she died.' And Dad was all ,
broken up and needed me. Be
sides, each day of silence made
It harder and there was no one .
else. I didn't care, much. I
thought. h would seek me out
when he wanted his , freedom.
But he didnt, in all these years.

Editorial Statesman, January
23, 1943:
'; "A grand jury over at Bend,
investigating local moral condi
tions, recommends more police
men. No Jury ever seems to think
of recommending more backbone
,in the mayor, city council, and
police force. That is the vitamin
; enforcement officials are chiefly
deficient in. '
Monmouth (Ore.) was also
without apparent observance or
enforcing of regulations. The
.mayor: and the new council ac
tually took it as. their responsi
bility. A new marshal was hired
. with Instructions to clean up.
The first day 180 Impractees !
were checked; the second day
210, and that night (2 ajn.) Ju
venile delinquents were ready to
raise the roof, because their
"freedom" had been stepped
on; the 3rd day 240. The "influ
entials" were telling the mar
shal that he would lose his Job
($100 per month) if he did not
quit stepping on the toes of busl
, ness men and other leading dti
sens. Everyone found that the
z mayor, the council and the mar-
anai meant business, but they
were also being fair. The coun
cil immediately changed the 40-year-old
7 o'clock Juvenile re
gulation to 10 o'clock. The mar
shal finding a youngster out af
ter 10 o'clock, who seemed to be
on the up and up, would walk
on home with him or. her. Traf-
uc, zrom pedestrian to truck,
bus, and sleigh has been educat
; ed (possibly the hard way) with
v Sr0011 hur4 ven -financially,
xtaturaly (he young folks were
first to recognize a square deal,
and show their appreciation. The
fourth day there were six in
- fractions 'and since then only
those from an occasional "would
be smarT outsider passing
through. By the cooperation of
executive, legislative. Judicial
and . populace it lias taken less
than a month for things to
change from chaos to an orderli
ness which has the respect- of
JFl, f evidently others
who -think they want this, be
cause several towns have already,
offered the marshal far more
