Milk Rationins . - Tom G. Stitts, chief of the food administra tion's dairy and poultry division, and. one of the best-informed men in the country: in this branch of agriculture, told state dairy executives at Sacramento Thursday that rationing of fresh milk was likely before, the end of the year. Evaporated r""k is already being ; rationed. ; With other food products coming under- the coupon distribution system, it is not at all sur prising that fluid milk will also. ' Ur ; Rationing will provide an equitable distribu tion of available supplies. But it will not solve i problems of milk production ; or economics. Shortages of feeds and of farm labor have been hard for dairymen to overcome, and these hard ships are bound td continue through' the war. At the same time the supply problem is not just price problem. Milk production must be bal anced with other essential productionJ - . At the same time, because milk products are rich in proteins they are quite indispensable for domestic consumption and for export to allies. So the food administration will doubtless do its utmost to hold up milk production without up aetting too greatly the rest of the farm program. Dairymen will regret the" imposition: of milk rationing. It will be hard to apply, and bootleg ging will doubtless be extensive. More than "that, shutting off of. customers may tend to cut down demand permanently,, or require expen- " si ve promotion campaigns to rebuild -demand. ' So it is easy to see that milk rationing will be put off as long as possible; but because it is so necessary for children and invalids, rationing will have to come when supplies grow definite ly less, in order to protect the needs of these special classes. Strikes and WLB ; While pubiic attention was focused on the coal strike, other work stoppages were occurring which hurt war production and injured organ ized labor's standing because of disregard of the no-strike pledge. In a number of cases these strikes were wildcat, unauthorized by union of ficials, and usually they were terminated after - a few days. Most serious were the strikes at Akron rubber' plants because the war labor board refused to grant as much of an increase as the men demanded, and a strike at Chrysler's tank factory. The strike score as reported by the department of labor for three months stands': Month Number of Workers Man-days Strikes ' Involved : Lost February zlO 42,000 170.000 March fin . 72,000 230,000 . arv Ml t.nno.OOQ 875,000 The May showing will be worse because all of the strikes just ' referred to occurred j in that . month, or, with coal, on, into June. . " j The War Labor board is the agency which is trapped.. Its formula in the Little Steel case, of a maximum of 15 per cent increase,' has. been more rigid than' the board could adhere to. The president's "hold the line' order was so tight the board itself had to ask for modification. Delays in decisions anger workers and they get out of control of their own leaders. j. Whether the War Labor board will! be able to control the wild horses of wage demands is difficult to tell. If the war goes well and victory appears in sight, the resort to strike to gain ob jectives will probably become more frequent. Too drastic a labor law might invite widespread defiance among workers themselves. Like OP A, the best we can see is a muddling through, hop- -ing for the best, but knowing that in wartime . the grip of inflation is hard to break. Hopes Are Dashed ! - Oregon hopes for a plant to reduce aluminum bearing clays by a new process have been killed for the present by the announcement from the bureau of mines that it is withholding approval .. because of doubts over the process. So Molajla and Cottage Grove, which had anticipations of minin 7 riovplnnmpni anrl twrhant st rvw1iitinn plant, are disappointed. ; There may be other reasons. The supply of Jbauxite from South America may be coming In more freely as the subs have been largely driven out of the Carribean. Production by ex-j isting plants may be proving sufficient for war needs. The time element may have been dis couraging what was proposed was merely a large-sized pilot plant to prove the j method. .- The bureau heads may have figured that large ecale production could not be made available coon enough to be of value -in the present war. : Anyway, the deal is off.ii;? :'X ; i Y 'l Well, it was exciting while it lasted. 'And the . days are 'still here. Further experimentation may show a more practical way .to extract the : aluminum, which will be needed in quantity when peace comes. Bauxite supplies will not last forever. So it may be merely a postponement of the develoment to a more -propitious season. Yale university is going to hold a summer course of six weeks in Alcohol Studies. The uni versity has had a department doing research in this field,' and the department publishes a sci entific journal on the subject. Alcoholism is more than a vice, it is a disease; and its vic tims need special treatment, both physical and mental. The school prospectus says: "The pre- vention of alcoholism and its ill effects are ham pered by the lack of community leaders who have a broad understanding of the problem of alcohol. The aim of the school Is to educate such leaders by giving them scientific knowledge about these problems. The approach to solving the evils cf alcoholism is through a combination of the moral with the scientific, bracing the will with knowledge. . State Gransemasier Tompkins urges voting by mail be allowed. But what would happen then to the election reform brought in by the xecret Australian baUot? YouldnT votes get down to four-tit3 apiece under the vote-by-mail system?

Pantelleria island; just a pinpoint in the Me diterranean, but important because it lies in the middle of the ship lanes using the strait between Sicily and ' Africa, has capitulated to its be-; siegers, the British and American air forces and the British navy. This is first blood for the United "Nations in the scheduled European inva" sion. The island succumbed to 18 days of merci less bombardment from sea and air. It is logi cal to expect the blockade of Sicily and Sardinia to follow in short order. Then if the path t, Berlin is laid out through the Balkans, Crete would be next in line. - Pantelleria had only a' nuisance value to the allies: it had to be cleared to protect allied lines. Its loss will be a token to Italy, though, of the punishment that hangs over the main land. If Italy is smart it will take the hint, kick -out Mussolini, and surrender while there is yet time. . ' .. News Behind The Weivs By PAUL MALLON " - (DtstributioB by Dae feature aystdieat,' Inc. Rcpra 4vetaa to wtml or to Dart atrietly prohHMtod.1 ' WASHINGTON, June 11 Criss-cross currents of politics are running behind the Bailey resolution designed to limit presidents hereafter to two terms. It crew out of a strange situation. Republican Senator Wherry (Nebraska) was talking about such ' a .resolution wnen aiong came anti-new deal democratic Sena tor Bailey (North Carolina) with a proposal that they get together. Polls have been taken, indi cating that they 5 now have more than 55 votes in favor of submit- ting a constitutional amendment to the states. Even some of the new deal senators indicate favor. It would have no effect on , the fourth term campaign, as it ' i could not be enacted , in time. legislatures (some say three) meet . - -. ' ' . I' issue wholly concerns a fifth term, or some future republican or democratic president getting a third one. : Consequently not much interest has been aroused, and it Is not likely that the matter will be serious ly considered before falL ' , i ' . Rail -sitting congressmen, closely watching the writhing of OPAS Prentiss Brown to reorganize his administration. Judge he will not make the grade for one insurmountable reason. Much of the personnel in OPA 'claims to have the personal backing of either Supreme Court Jus tice Frankfurter, Mrs. Roosevelt, or Harry Hopkins. Any administrator attempting to clean such a house is apt to get himself cleaned first. A republican political scout (Wherry of Nebra ska) is back from a six-state midwestern off-the-record trip. His associates learn he found the Will kie people already working very actively for '44. Few state or city organizations are for Willkie, and his workers are mostly independents. (An anti Willike congressman estimates 25 per cent of the republican party is pro-Willkie today.) Ohio's Governor Bricker.has failed to attract much party attention. Wherry found. Bricker does not make startling statements or present the photo genic personality appeal usually associated with political candidates by the experts. New York's Governor Dewey is supposed to have this appeal, but faces other Intra-party drawbacks. t 1 The party is discussing Senator Taft and others it calls "good men," but obviously there is no be ginning of agreement on a candidate. A year of developments, including the primaries, will settle the dust before nominations are made. The administration is energetically trying to ap . pease dissident southern elements and, at the same time, pursuing its negro development policies. The Louisiana senators have heard directly from the White House that they have won 1 their fight against a Texas appointee to the circuit court, and that a Louisianian will be named. A Mississippi democrat also has been appointed to the secretary ship of the democratic national committee. At the same time, the Liberia president and staff have been entertained auspiciously at the White House, and a Catholic priest has been appointed by Mr. Roosevelt to head the fair employment prac- -tices committee, through which; negro political organizations have been working to attain what they call equal working opportunities, i This will probably be sufficient to keep the south ern politicians in line for the fourth term. Editorial Comment ;- From Other Papers - f v ABBOT, COOS COAL AND NEWBERRY There la an interesting coincidence, if nothing more, in the fact that just now, when Camp Abbot Is taking a place in the war effort, plans are being made for an Intensive study of the Coos county coal deposits and the possibility of using that coal in war camps and plants. To the uninformed no con nection between the two can be imagined, but a study of volume VI of the Pacific railroad survey report will develop the idea, tenuous though it may be. . . - That volume, of course, embodies the report made by Lieut Henry L. Abbot on the exploration through the Deschutes valley in the course of which he camped on the site included in the area that, because of that fact, now bears his name. -"In the volume Is also found a short report on the "Coose Bay coaL" And there is the connection. . ; - The coal report; by the way, is by Dr. J. S. New berry, the chief scientist of the Williamson-Abbot party, and the word "scientist applied to mat member of the party covers a lot of meaning. He appears, that is, in the table of contents, as fj. S." Newberry, MJV'. which assuredly means that be was a doctor of medicine. He had other than medi cal knowledge, however, for the report on the ge ology of the route is by Dr. Newberry, as are the reports on the botany and the zoology. . , Dr. Newberry's name had been perpetuated In this region long before there was any general knowledge regarding Lieut Abbot. He never looked on either of the geologic features that bear his name Newberry crater in the Paulinas and. the Newberry lava flow south from the South Sister but as a great American geologist after his Des chutes journey he devoted himself to geology ex clusively and attained distinction it is well to have him thus remembered.

The lnJar Wgivg By GLENN BABB AP War Analytst for The SUtesmaa ' President Roosevelt's sugges tion that Italy would do well to rid herself of Mussolini and get out of the war is a striking ex- i ample of ' the way the United ' Nations are combining - the - air war and the war of nerves.

Against the background : of Pantelleria's 19-day ordeal by ; bomb: and shell and the inevita- . ble . surrender it is . admirably ; . calculated . to foster the longing tor peace in many Italian hearts.. The president's indirect' appeal seems likely to be the most ef fective yet offered by an allied' leader assuming, of course, that it will reach a considerable sec tion of the Italian people. Prime Minister Churchill, who has been telling the Italians for nearly three years that this was Musso-' lini's war and not their's, went nearly as far in his Washington press - conference three weeks ago. But his was a rather grim pronouncement, calling on the people of Italy to dis-own their nazi and fascist . leaders : and throw themselves on the justice of those they have so grievous- . ly offended. .

Na tions that Italy be restored 'to nationhood and take her place as a respected member of the European family of nations. - , Pantelleria is the finest argu ment yet afforded those who be lieve, that . bombardment alone, chiefly from the air but support ed where feasible by sea forces, may produce the capitulation of a' military power. It is something new tot warfare, the surrender: pi a fortress to bombing and ; shelling i alone. The fact , that landing units were already m , their barges - offshore when the white flag was Taised does not alter this cardinal fact. In a small test tube has been worked out a formula that may be applied to far larger situa tions. It can not fail to evoke' soul-chilling echoes in the minds of the Italian people, the people of Hitler's other satellites or of Germany as well. It would be easy, however, to over-emphasize the strength of. these psychological factors. Ev ents may show that the Pantel leria experiment Is not conclu sive. The conquests of Sicily and Sardinia, to which nearly all signs point as the next objec tives of General Eisenhower's mighty combined . forces, may prove quit different military prcLlems. 1 JO Calling Paai-Amertca.

"If I nay," she amende!, The Baron wasn't in the ken nels; he was bedded down In one of the horse stalls. He raised his head listlessly as they came in, but when he recognized Christo pher,' he got to his feet and came - toward him.' Ann felt as If she were in the presence of royalty. The dog had majesty, and sick though he ' was, he reared his proud head and tried to stand. ' Christopher knelt before him. "What's bothering you, old fel low?" V: .::,--"I''"-" 'Ann felt a lump come Into her ' throat. The Baron wasnt Just another dog; he wasnt merely a great stud and the head of Christopher Wain's kennels. The same relationship existed be tween him and his master as existed between her and Rowdy. It was a relationship that filled some gap that life hadn't filled. "Call the vet, Hans," Christo - pher ordered. "And . lefs - get him I into the tack-room where Ifs warm." The Baron couldn't make the distance down the alleyway be hind the stalls, and Christopher picked lip his two" hundred pounds . and carried him. He placed him on ihe couch. -- "Didn't I bear you say some thing, about Paul Freund being on his way here?? he asked Ann. "Yes. His mother said he'd just left." : . "Good!

He busied himself lighting the . stove while the ; Baron seemed to doze off into restless sleep. -He's a pretty sick A pup," Christopher vouchsafed shortly. Ann made no reply.

"Hours,7 days. No telling. No, I'd like to stay, but Carol's in the car. She en Joys the ride.

You ought to eat," he frowned at Arm. "I ought to go " home," Aruv , said, without moving. She thought vaguely of her appoint ment with Tom but It didnt seem to matter. Tom seemed far away.
