This blasting of dams is part of the total war scraping in the effort to avoid a bead-on colli-

Americans make their moves on the chess board.
Mining the coal is not forgotten, and fortunate"
ly goes right oiiln spite of the turns and jumps
of the players.
The war labor board did a lot of bowing and ,
being waged, the style for which was laid out
by the Germans in the first world war and ex
tended by Japs and nazis in recent wars. Their
' enemies have improved on Jthe instruction,
though we shudder over the methods employed,
wreaking vengeance on civilian populations.
The destruction of the dams poses a new mil
itary problem in defense, which is of concern to
the United States. Our country has gone in for
dams in a big way. Our streams arc everywhere
held back or controlled by dams. New England's
industrial growth began with water power, and
.power dams are common , on New; England
sion with Lewis, at last inviting him and tha
operators to resume negotiations. ; But Lewis,
; having taken the stand that the war labor board
was prejudiced, maintained his position of re
fusing to have any truck with the board, so to
save his face declined "to reenter negotiations
, with the operators. Then the labor board, to
save face, and preserve its authority, denounced
Lewis. To the tatter's remark that it was up to
the government to do something, the board re
plied it was the only -governmental body with
; any authority. ' J ;
The Dresident has to save face, because of his
streams. The same is true all along the well- " position: and he already has -been badly rough-

has had a rash of dam-building on the'Ten
nesee river and its tributaries. In Colorado, Ari
zona, California and the great northwest ara
great dams Boulder, Bonneville, Grand Cou
lee. Engineers have rather held to the .view
that the concrete masses of these dams were so
large that airplane bombs would only chip off
chunks of concrete without breaching the dam
itself. This idea Will have to be revised in view
of the success of British airmen with mines.
It is doubtful if our enemies can carry out a
successful attack on our great power dams in
. 'this war. But with continued improvement in
flight range- and carrying capacity of planes
some "next war" may see our dams under at
tack. Their j defense then becomes a matter of
concern which must be planned for well in ad
vance. The breaching of Grand Coulee would
not only deprive war industries of vital electric
energy, it would release a flood of water in far
greater volume than the dams broken in Ger
many, Cities and facilities in its path would
suffer damage difficult to estimate.
"Defense begins with construction, so our en
gineers in planning new dams will have to give
thought to aerial attack with mines as well as
bombs. In the case of the Willamette valley
project the plan for high dams might well be
reviewed, and consideration given to low dams.
All this is speculative, to be sure. But we
have to think in terms of another dimension,,
height, in all our future planning, of cities, fac
tories, homes even, as well as dams. ' Border
fortresses and coast defenses are helpless
against high-altitude bombing. And the flight
. of bombers from Midway to Wake island and
back again, a distance of 1190 miles in each di
rection, shows the present practical range of
planes. Consider what the range, and the risk,
will be in the future.
The British success in Germany shows the
ultimate danger inAmerica.
Harold Ickes doesn't have to save face, be
cause he hasn't lost any; but he has to get coal
dug.: - v.., .1. -' . f-v; v :f
John L.jiwis has his bitter personal feud
with the president, and is in great rivalry with
other, labor leaders: Murray and Green.' He is
determined to save his face, and has done a good
job of it so far. He doesn't want his men to
strike, but will take them to the very edge in
his bluff perhaps over the edge rather than
yield and thus lose face. Lewis is bold, crafty
and seasoned.
Meantime the country sits on the anxious
seat while the principals thrust and parry. The
great object, to keep the mines operating to
produce coal for war industries and essential
uses, must be kept paramount. Coal, not face
saving is the chief thing wanted now.
.Vacations in 1943 s
The boys who do the fighting get no pay for
overtime, but they do get furloughs, when con
ditions permit. So even those folk on the home
front who ' derive pain from ' contemplation of .
the wages and hours of war workers, probably
will not object strenuously to Donald Nelson's
recent pronouncement favoring vacations for
industrial workers, hedged about as it was by
the proviso that the vacations should be so stag
gered as to . prevent creation of bottlenecks.
Declaration of the War Labor board's west
coast lumber commission that vacations with
pay may be granted by mutual consent where
none were provided in existing contracts,' may
cause some raising of eyebrows.
In ordinary, times a vacation is a vacation, to
be spent in rest and recreation. Recreation in
the literal sense, too few vacationers ever
achieve. What they do achieve more often, is
opportunity to do something for which they
wouldn't otherwise have time. - " -
The reader is "away ahead of us" on this sub
ject but the fact is that opportunities for travel
and enjoyment of what normally are called
"pleasures" are decidedly limited this year. Ob
viously, for persons who labor with their hands
,t as a great many war workers do, there's no rec-
' reation in shifting to another manual task. We
wouldn't suggest it c I
But for the so-called brain worker, as a mat
ter of plain though not too easily digested fact.
mere s no recreation quite equal to a sunt ox
labor. So we have no hesitation at all in sug
gesting for such folk a "vacation" spent in. har
vesting or processing crops. And many regular
ly -employed persons in. Salem are enrolling for
part-time harvest work and have specified that
they will take up such Work in 'their "vacation"
periods. I They'll kill not two .but three birds
with one stone; they'll earn some additional in-,
; come, contribute ifi the , "food for victory", pro
gram, and get out of it also some real recreation.

WASHINGTON, May 18 Some radio commen
tators have been reporting the intensified Anglo
American bombing of western Europe as a "prel
ude to invasion,'' causing people to run to the front
door for their paper each day to
see if it has started.
The air and press simultan
eously have been filled, natural
ly enough, with speculation sug
gesting a direct immediate drive
through Holland into the heart
of Germany, or a flanking In
vasion through Italy or Norway.
I: or both simultaneously.
It all depends on one factor
planes. If Hitler has a. formidable ah
force available in western Europe, an invasion can
not be successfully attempted until that air force
is beaten. The same factor applies everywhere. W
can go wherever we can get superiority in the air -and
nowhere else. . ,
The latest authentic reports suggest Hitler has
about 6,500 actual fighting planes, a .still formid
able number. About one-third of them (something
over 2,000 planes) are supposed to be cm the Rus
sian front and will have to remain there for the
forthcoming drives, possibly against Moscow and
Leningrad. - -
The Russians claim " to have' destroyed 1,300
planes in the last two weeks. If they did, they have
decimated nazi air power on their front, but Bus- -sian
reports are always so enthusiastic that none of
our military decisions are likely to be based on what
Stalin gives out in his newspaper.
- Hitler's production, according to the most trust
worthy available data, is now running about 1200
to 1600 planes a month, just about half of his peak
"of plane production (2500 a month) reached in the
fall of 1941 and continuing for some months mere-
after. His replacements, therefore, are coming slow
i ly and painfully, but not inconsiderably. ?
None are being wasted by the worried Fuehrer
against us on the southern front The air opposi
tion we have run into in Sicily, the southern part
of Italy, and Sardinia has been very weak, t
While rumors have appeared that the nazis have
withdrawn: ground forces back behind the Alps,
the latest checks indicate Hitler has not had many
troops in Italy. His controls there lately have been
maintained mostly by Gestapo leaders and indus
trial plant managers. He would be in a desperate
condition, indeed if he intended to let us get Italy
without fighting and acquire air bases there with
which to bomb all Germany. i ;
Put all teese authentic reports' of the air 'situa-i
' tion together and you must conclude we already"
have air superiority over southern Italy, Sicily' and
Sardinia, but will have a fight on our hands yet to
acquire it over Holland, Belgium or Trance. -:
Invasion of Italy, therefore, seems feasible, the
northwest European .coast-line still difficult Nor
way would be much easier.
These current intensified bombings of Germany
are therefore only long distance preludes to invaw
sion. Heavy bombers, it is true, are used as artil
lery in a prelude to attack;
. Two months before Tunisia collapsed, our bomb-
era plastered Naples and the Sicilian ports, nertroy-1
log shipping, and then, for the final push, drew in
to hammer the German fighting line in North Af-
, rica; The long range bombing comes : first then
short range.
. The Anglo-Americas long-range bombing attacks'
: on Germany must first conclude this current phase
of blasting railroad communication, far back from
the coast engaging the luftwaffe daily, knocking
out whatever combat planes they can,' and destroy
ing the German centers of airplane production.
Then it can hammer the fortifications on tha
coast as an immediate prelude to a landing. When
you hear of German batteries along the coast catch
ing this rain of explosives, you will know invasion

j By GLENN BABB
AP War Analyist for The Statesmaa
L.
- The reconquest of Atta ap
pears to be proceeding satisfac
torily although weather, limiting
air and naval support, obviously
has caused delays and an action
which otherwise might have
been concluded in a day or two .
has gone into its second week.
Word received - in - Washington
yesterday,! however, . indicated
that it might already be in the
mopping up stage. The western
most of the Aleutians soon
should be wholly American
again.
But when that is accomplished
the battle of the Aleutians will .
only have been well begun. The
much stronger enemy base on
KIska is still to be reduced. And
there may be naval fighting of
greater effect on the strategical'
situation to the Pacific than pos-
session of half a dozen of those
little dots in the foggy north.
Thus far there have been no
reports of naval combat since
the landing began, which indi
cates that the enemy has not yet
disclosed Ms larger plans. Re- '
member how quickly and power
fully the Japanese navy reacted
' after the rst' American lodg
ment on Guadalcanal last Aug- ,
tot? So far It would appear that
Che Japanese on Athi have been : '
left to their fate. But it is too
early to draw conclusions. There. t
: Is no sign that me Kiska force
hasattempted to intervene;
-probably 1 its fighter base has
been knocked out, by the Amer- :
leans - operating, from nearby
Amchitka. ? A rescue force based
on the KurQes, which begin some
750 miles west of Attu, jor from
JapanV' home bases obviously
would; take much longer to get
; under! way. But it may be en
' route. ; , .
The Japanese decision, wheth-
-l er to let their AleuUon toeholds
go by default or hazard what-
' ever larger forces may be needed
to make a real fight for them,
may have an important bearing
on the duration of 'the Pacific
war. The first choice, of course,
is possible. The Japanese learned
in the Solomons how costly' a
contest of attrition can tv ,They
may not care to risk again In
such ' tactics -the' hundreds of
planes and scores of , ships they
expended in their efforts to
knock: us off Guadalcanal.
To hold the great . maritime '
empire her forces have overrun,
Japan must be prepared to fight
for. rule of the seas on at least
three .widely separated naval
fronts, North Pacific, South Pa
cific and Indian ocean.' There
are growing indications that soon
the Americans and British will
be . able to concentrate major
fleets in all these areas at once.
Japan's ability to match them
remains ! in doubt. , Her naval 1
strength la "something of a mys
tery, since her construction has
been wrapped in secrecy - from .
1838 to fiow. But many Quali
fied authorities doubt whether '
she did much- In capital 'ship
building in those years.! Her in
dustrial capacity was limited and
in view of the materials and la
bor which went into planes, car-.
riers, ; cruisers -and lighter craft
In the years before Pearl Har
bor, there Is some skepticism
about those 40,000-ton Japanese
battleships and other mystery
smps about which there has been
speculation m naval circles ,
around the world in . recent
'years, f-i;- ':P-'-feo'"fVi- :h
It Is certain mat although the
Japanese navy has been brought
to major battle at least . three
times in the Coral sea at Mid
way and in the aeries of clashes -in
the Solorrions- in none of
these did die produce any ships
of mystery. - i
It she does have the naval re
serve : hitherto not revealed in
battle, this fight In the Aleutians
may compel her to take the
wraps 'off of some of them. De
feat there could have 'disastrous
strategical repercussions for her.
It could lay her northeastern ap
proaches wide open to the long
feared American attack by the
Aleutian-Kurfle route. It misht
also have an important effect on
Russia's attitude toward the Pa
cific war, providing proof of the
value of the United States as an
aSy in the north Pacific should
Russia go to war against Japan.,

J''Caiapter 11' continued -A-v '.."f.",t-'-v.:
r . It was a straight road now,
and Ann settled back In her seat,
. It occurred to her to wonder how .
the shabby young man with the
crepe-soled shoes had turned up
agahv like a bad penny. On the
whole, she was glad that he had
evidently gone back to the ken
nels at once, for Paul had seemed
. crestfallen that she had let a
prospective customer get away.
Or had he said something about
Mr. Wain owing five hundred
, dollars' on ' a dog? Whatever It ;
was, Mr: Wain bad presumably
smxared his account with the Tru
Freud Kennels, or Gretel would
not at this moment have been in
his possession. ; ' . , "
"He's one of those cocksure in
" dividuals who's never wrong,
she confided in Bowena. "Knowa
; everything about everything
there it to know, including
' Danes. If that sister of yours
is a better dog than you are,
"fill eat my haw ' ..-..;;..
Suddenly she noticed- a car
about to pass her, and pulled to
the side of the road. Christopher
1 Wain leaned across the seat
'Hey! Z want to talk to you!"
A baker's truck coming down
tne highway, drove him back in
to single file, and Ann shot on
s - ahead. i
When she mad the ' abrupt
. cutoff toward Broadfields, iie
was still to her rear. She swept
into the driveway and followed
it across the lawns and through
the orchard to the barnyard. Her
-: heart sank.'". .
What a j change . in the place
during the few short months that
- had elapsed since her last vis
it! Branches littered the ground
and gullied sides of the road hit
her like sharp reproaches. r
She stopped against a stone
wall, facing through the series .
of pastures and paddocks. Chris
topher Wain's car drew up be
:. side her. ; : r ' , y ;.;
"1 want to talk to you," he
said, and swung out from be
neath the wheel. - r .
ul should think it was obvious
, that I have no desire to talk with
you." Ann said curtly, allowing
Rowena to scramble across her -lap
toward space and open air.
, Gretel ; joined her in one great
leap, and together, without so
. much as a by-your-leave, they

Today's Garden
1 By LILXJE L. MADSEN
, L. B. writes for information on
; how to control cockroaches. Says
' she has seen a spray suggested;
for their control, but can not re
call it. - Ul"-' - -
Answer: This, doesn't really
come, under the category of
gardening as the cockroaches
are not a garden pest or are .
they? I Just have not happened
to see one in a garden. I believe
sodium Huroide used to. be the -approved
control. One just scat
tered the powder around rather
heavily and it was guaranteed to
get them every time. I am not
sure that sodium fluoride is ob
tainable now. At least it is not
obtainable V' everywhere. Cock- :
roaches will follow food, Every
bit of food, down to the last
crumb, should be gathered up
and done away with. We are go
ing to have to be more careful
about the little things than we
. used to be if we do not want an
invasion of pests. Powdered bor
ax mixed with powdered choco
late has been offered as a sub-"
stltute for the sodium fluoride
but can one get powdered choco--'
late and powdered borax? One
might try. And If Mrs. I B.
' ever spots a ; cockroach, he -mustn't
let it escape.: One loose:
cockroach just eventually means
a lot of more cockroaches, i
M.GJEL asks if the little .
wrapped up balls on sale in gar-
den stores will - really control
moles." '
Answer: I am behind the
times. I do not know what this
could be. But here's hoping it Is
auccessfuL If it is sold by a reli
able garden store owner it should
be worth trying. I personally
feel most secure when I see the
mole dead in a trap. I would ap-.
predate hearing more about this :

Strange and terrifying noises.
A laugh bubbled to Ann's lips
at the spectacle of two ferocious
looking Great Danes frightened
out of their skins by a horse's
welcome. -

"What about?"
I don't know," he confessed
blankly.
She kept a straight face with
difficulty. "Are you a profession

, He shook his head, started to
speak, and could think of no
thing to say. ,
Tou Just want to talk," she

He nodded. "That's it," h ad

abruptly.
He did not answer at once.

the theme. As he says, "Finally
"a ' major Hollywood - studio has
done the unprecedented thing of
beating the drum for a viewpoint
which has controversial aspects,
to say the least."
The effect is to make the
movie a frank instrument 1 of
- propaganda, something which is
dangerous, especially when th
propaganda twists the truth and
: paints false pictures, To quot
Crowher's conclusion:
"Things of this sort are dan
gerous in pictures meant to In
fluence men's minds. For they
create false conceptions and
; blindly confident belief. It is
fine; that Mission to Moscow
does create goodwill toward our
allies, the people of Russia a
nation of humans which is Just
as things should be. And it is
good that it should foment re
valuation of some hidebound
ideas. But it should do so with
a little less ecstasy. It is just as
ridiculous to pretend that Bus- r
sia has been a paradise of purity
as it Is to say the same thing of ,
ourselves." 1
; And who is Joseph Davies,
whose book is decidedly pro
Russian? Well, Jm represents
American plutocracy if anyone
'does. He is a wealthy; lawyer,
who married one of America's
richest women who inherited a
breakfast food fortune. Now h
is gone again to Russia, with a
secret message i from Roosevelt
to Stalin. Maybe he is just th
man for the trip, r - ' :
Russia is doing a great ' Job
in fighting Hitler; and the USA
is giving Russia every possible
support, i Russia's performance
plus many additional facts now
being revealed about Russia
merit our applause and com
mendation. We are and can re
main on friendly terms with
Russia. There is no reason to
fear Russia or to fawn before
Russia. We do not and cannot
overlook the fact that Stalin has
been a cruel ruler, his regime
based on force and violence. His
present competence does not
wash out his past sins.
As far as communism Is con
cerned, its germs are scattered
all round the world; and Russia
long ago gave up the idea of
spreading communuism by force.
Besides, Russia has-modified
communism decidely. If we do
a good Job of solving our own
problems along democratic lines
w need have no fear of social
or -political revolution.
I ttink Russia may have more
to fear from the infiltration of
democratic Ideas, namely human
freedom, than w do of its brand
of fornrnunlsm. With it as
sociation with democratic na- ;
tiocs there is sure to spread
among Russians such Kieral
Ideas as freedom of speech, free
dom of religion, freedom of the
press, and ultimately, freedom
of enterprise.
Though we buSd barricades
about our tleolcies com
munist; .totalitarian, aristocratic,!
demoncratic, there is ah os
mosis of ideas that finally seeps
through the seal. Our Ideas may ;
penetrate Russia.
And "Jlission to I.I 0 s c o w,"
which is ultra-friendly to Rus
sia, fails because it wrenches
history and truth. -.
