Itetirea to Elkhom L;
Come September and Kenneth Randall will
take off his badge as deputy sheriff to move to
his ranch at Elkhorn, near where Elkhorn creek
joins the Little North Fork of the Santiam. No
more registering of small-time criminals; no
more collection of fees and fines; no more ;
thumbing over processes; no more, keeping of
sheriffs offide records. Randall is going right
up to the "edge of cultivation," a little' be
yond the edge, some would say; and there at
the bend of the road above Elkhorn bridge,
where the foothills enclose Elkhorn flat he and
his wife will make their home. . f! ; 1
. The life of Reily, if you please, after years
of work serving the public at the old state
house lunch counter, and serving the ; public
in the county sheriffs office.' No more serving
"anybody, just salting his cattle, raising a gar
den, and watching nature run through the cy
cle of the seasons. ! " m ' :
Kenneth can sit on his porch and watch the
laughing waters of the little North Fork as
they bounce their' way over the rocks. He can
. look across Elkhorn flat and see the morning
sun1 light up the sheer face of House mountain;
or at night can see the sun sink behind it
the mountain on whose table the Indians built
their fires and played their games. To the east
rise the Cascades, and the road winds up into
the bid mining country, past the Pearl Creek
ranger station, where the forest gate bars the
road and where' at the spring house you can get
a drink of the finest water the mountains af
ford. The forest road runs past Silver King
mine, and Black'Eagle mine, and the old work
ings of the Santiam Mining company, i on up
Battle Axe creek through the Amalgamated
mine property to the base of Battle Axe moun
tain itself, where the pass leads down to Elk
lake. Humbug creek and Breitenbush river.
And if he wants to climb a mountain! there's
Henline mountain to the northeast where he
can stretch his muscles and get a broad view
" of .the lands where his cattle graze. There are
deer in the hills too; and in August salmon fill
the pools of the stream waiting for the signal
of instinct to do their spawning on the gravef
bars. -:
It's a great country up Elkhorn way, where
the mountains are gentled into foothills, where
winter brings its silences and summer the mel
low warmth of midday and the cooling breeze
drawing up the valley at eventide; a fit place
for a man tb retire to, after he has been a depu
ty sheriff, a place where he can rest or work,
can sit and dream, or just sit. Randall will pro
bably do all of them.
Pattern for Victory-
South American Novelist
An Argentine novelist, Max Dickmann, has
been visiting the United States under the spon
sorship of Nelson Rockefeller's organization for
inter-American affairs. Dickmann has i written
several novels and many short stories dealing
with South American life, and he has translat
ed into Spanish many works by North American
authors. He sees in literature one medium for
promoting good neighborllness. Also he thinks
that Argentine motion pictures should be per
mitted entry into the United States. The bar
is probably not a legal one, but rather unwil
lingness of theaters to exhibit foreign films,
because of their close tie-up with American
producing companies.
If we are to build permanently better rela
tions with other countries in the western hemi
sphere we will need to have a better under
Standing of their history and their culture. That
calls for travel, for reading, for broader know
ledge of Spanish language (and Portuguese
for Brazil ) . so that reading and conversation
may be done in the language of the southern
countries. ' - - , -y
South America has an old culture, stemming
straight from Spain and Portugal. Its cities,
particularly Buenos Aires and Rie de Janiero
are progressive and modern. Some very orig
inal modern architecture has ; been developed
in Brazil. In Buenos Aires is published one of
the greatest newspapers in the world, La Pren
za, with an enormous circulation. j
North Americans can well afford to learn the .
Spanish language,, and when' opportunity : per
mits, travel through the" countries of Central
and South America. They will find primitive
conditions in many parts, but they will see an
emerging civilization, where countries are try
ing to catch up with the advance of the more
restless and adventurous people of the United
States and Canada. Nelson Rockefeller and his
group are doing a great deal of good in encour
aging closer relations based on fuller .-acquaintanceship
with the Latin American countries.
Himmler, the Policeman
" Adolph Hitler is still boss of the reidv.no
matter who may i be determining military stra
tegy jot who may be in actual command of the
armies, it is Hitler who is still on top. That is
proven by the announcement that Hitler has
appointed Heinrich Himmler, head of the; ges
tapo, as minister of the interior, and chief of
the xeich " administration. This puts 1 into the
hands of this brutal lieutenant of der Fuehrer's
full authority for maintaining order within
Germany. It is Hitler's move to anticipate pos
sible outbreaks such as those which make mis
erable the lives of his officers and soldiers sta
tioned in the occupied countries. . , - , f ; -, :
It is safe to conclude that this action reveals
a growing tension within Germany. : The only
reports of unrest have come from Hamburg and
some of the other heavily bombed cities. But
Hitler wants no such rioting as occurs in the
cities of northern Italy. He must keep his own
people cowed and quiescent. When they start
to cause trouble the infection of revolution may
spread last Hirnmler is just the man to head it
off, to deal with his usual cruelty with any who
even whisper their discontent.
News of this appointment is an index that
second front is possible within Germany itself,
something never conceded by the nazi command.
i
It is noted that bur air campaign against Italy
is directed in the north 'against industries and
in the center and south against railroads and ,
highways. The purpose Is to destroy the ability
of the enemy to make war. To sustain fighting
armies supplies must be furnished constantly.
Unless they can be produced and transported
the armies are helpless. With the steady pound
ing of communications in Italy, like the railway
yards at Rome, Foggia, Naples and Salerno,
the enemy forces are rendered impotent for
sustained combat. When this destruction has
progressed far enough the allied armies can
land on the peninsula ' and J defeat an enemy
whose strength is sapped by crippling his supply
lines. : . - H : 2 -
Signs point to an early occupation: of Italy,
at least up to the "garter" line, above Rome,
where the Germans are building defenses to
keep the allies out of Lombardy. If our air forces
can secure the bases in northern Italy all of
Germany and Austria is laid open to bombings;
and the ability of the enemy to carry on xyar
will be further pounded out. , "-.
Louis Lochner, long-time AP correspondent
in Germany, on his return ? to America urged
bombing of rail lines and locomotives. The
quickest, shortest route to victory lies in sever
ing supply lines. Air power is doing this on land,
as surface fleets have long done it at sea. Naval
battles are to determine control of sea, lanes,
because they are vital to national existence.
This second front, from the air, may not be pul
ling German divisions off the Russian line, but
it is cutting down the supplies those Germans
receive, and thus must be of great and direct
aid to the rfussians.
News Behind i
The News J
By PAUL MALLON : -
WASHINGTON, August 24 There is not the
slightest evidence in the Russian military situation
to suggest she could consider a separate peace
or indeed, anything other than unconditional sur
render. -
The fall of Kharkov has been explained in a very
tired way by the Germans as a withdrawal "ac
cording to plan." The truth la
the city was the last key to the
whole nazi line of defense.
The city itself is probably in
ruins and of little physical val
ue, but its acquisition by the
Russians opens up a lateral be-'
hind-the-lines railroad from
Moscow through Orel C and
Kursk to Kharkov, a switching
y ic a E I point wnicn orancnes out m au
iiifcilr-irfMi.il' directions to the south.
raai Halloa The Russians now no doubt
will strike in a southwestern direction from Khar-,
kov to threaten the long nazi triangle running along
the Black sea to a tip at Taganrog. The Russians
are in a position to cut off this sector, and the Ger
mans, no doubt, will have to evacuate it
Their policy all along the line lately has been to
put up a strong fight, holding strategic places as
long' as possible.. But, when faced with extinction
now they no longer fight for hopeless positions but
withdraw to save men. No nazis have been trapped
by the Russians this year.
No good defensive position now remains for them
east of the Dnieper river. When they return to that,
they will be nearly out of Russia. j -
Plenty of time remains before winter for" the
Russians to effect this result. Fighting around
Kharkov last year continued until December snows.
Russian drives for Bryansk and Smolensk may be
hampered by weather before then, but the vital
southern front is no where near closing.
. The eager movement of Russian troops Up to
Kharkov showed no sign of weariness in men or
material. While we have no military observers on
the Russian front continuously (trips to the front
have been allowed from time to time duraing- the
past eight months), authentic reports inspire an
-expectation that there Is a chance that the . Rus
sians will now pick up speed. They had to call in
some reserves for the final Kharkov action, but
that was a minor matter. . .
Naturally, the German general staff recognizes -that
unless this speed is broken by resistance in
last-stage fights at key points, the German cause
Is hopeless. Naturally also, the nazis would turn to
thinking of a separate peace either with Britain
and the United States on one hand, or with Russia
on the other. '-.4 i ' -h--
As no apparent separate peace proposals have
been made, to us, it is reasonable to suppose Hitler
hsa been working on the Russians. Russian aecep-'
tance, however, is unthinkable because it would
mean perpetuation of the nazi military regime in
most of Europe and really only an armistice before
another attack in a year or two by either party. ;
In view of the military situation, Russia does '
not need a breathing spell and cannot afford to grant
one to Germany, - v ; - -
t These Moscow dimpomatic maneuvers are auita
another thing (recall of Litvinoff, protesting about
a second front, etc). The mystical Russian for
eign, policy always Is designed primarily to keep
everyone guessing.
When we drag out our crystal balls and try to
read the meaning of any Moscow move, (In war
now or in peace later), we are not apt to get the
right answer, but are only likely to confuse our
selves. . .. '
Never forget this: - ,
Stalin never moves in a direct line toward ob
jectives. He can drop Utvinoff one day, pick him
up the next, never explaining either move to his
people as our statesmen must, but only confusing
the rest of the world while he moves in a zigzag
line toward what he alone knows and wants.
Our people have been worried for months that
Russia would make a separate peace, much more
worried than has been publicly admitted. Such a
peace would be disastrous to our current prospects,
might make a war of S or 10 years, or even even
: tually lose it foris."-:Sv:i- ;.;:.;: jy;;-' :--
They know Stalin is Justly, angry at the delay
in the second front, for he has told visiting states
men w could well afford to lose a million men In
''EKAf "iaisa qi amnj
bring full collapse of Germany on the Russian front
if not elsewhere. :: r- h - ' -
. But those who read the crystal ban, seeking sura
answer to mystical Russian diplomacy, can be aura
only of one answerthat is what they are sup
pose, to do, keep on guessing. ; :

AP War Analyst tor The Statesman
QUEBEC, Que, Aug. 24 ;
Fateful allied strategic plans to :
forward the attack on the nazi
fascist - Japanese : axis on all ;
fronts had been completed in
Quebec tonight,- L although their '
shape and scope will emerge
only in action. r
On that calm note of utter '
. confidence that victory ' is al- '
ready assured,: its pattern fur
, ther plotted in arduous joint
staff .labors here, President..
, Roosevelt ; and" Prime Minister r
Churchill ' ended their sixth per- .
; sonal . meeting, to . weld British- .
American power and will to. de
stroy utterly all for which the ;
- axis stands.-'.. -'
And as they jointly announced I
that complete unity had pre- ;
vailed In war plan making here
in Quebec, and intimated forth- i
. coming three-way allied-Rus-;
sian similar conferences to
merge the whole United Nations ,
. effort, Berlin itself lay smoking.
One of : the i. most " tremendous I
British , night raids of the war
had blasted the German capital
as a foretaste of what will come
of the Quebec decisions.
The American British war i
captains gave no glimpse of
those decisions, beyond stressing
that : "war against Japan and
bringing "effective aid to China"
had figured "very largely." That
language clearly covers a reas
sessment of available allied war
r- resources for assignment to the
Paclfic-China-India iron t It
must be read in Tokyo in the
. light of the tremendous attack :
on Berlin that "Hamburged" the
.axis nerve center. -
There seems small doubt that
the great hump of central-east--ern
China is to become for Ja
pan what Sicily is for enfeebled '
Italy. Japan and her China sea
life lines of conquest can be
reached by airfrom there and
that is certainly, on the allied -war
books.
' Perhaps the most important
elements of the Joint Roosevelt-
Churchill announcement ' that
concluded the historic Quebec ,
war council were these:
1) The decisions taken were
based on recommendations by
the joint, chiefs of staff unani
mously arrived: at. That spells
increasing allied unity. The
strategic principles adopted at
the first Roosevelt-Churchill
war. council in I Washington, re
affirmed and implemented at
Casablanca and in the, -, second
Washington conference, have
stood the acid test of battle.
(2) That the war in Europe
can now be pressed to its con
clusion at increasing attack
tempo yet permitting expanded
blows at Japan simultaneously.
(3) That expected war de
velopment both in Europe - and
in Asia for which the Quebec ,
session laid . the ground-work
will require ': another strategics,
get-together within five- months
or less. This is a hint that the
data available does not preclude
the possibility jof the. axis col- -lapse
in Europe this winter or
next spring, j ,
, (4) That there is direct re
spect of early strategic discus
sions with Russia to coordinate
the final phases of the war In
Europe into a crushing, double-'
jawed, east-west attack. Events
in south Russia, , with Kharkov .
in Russian hands and the Ger- r
man flank southward to the Sea '
of Azov coast crumbling back
toward the Dnieper made that
a doubly important statement.
. . On one point the silence of the
conference announcement is per
haps more significant than any
thing that could have been said.
There was not suggestion even
by inference .that a continental
Invasion from j the west is im
pending. That tends to confirm
previous impressions that the
last Washington conference de
cided mat vital question, the key
to Russian relations, and.'- that
the Quebec meeting looked be-,
yond it .

cidly, drinking the last of the

I strode three steps down the
tiny, cabin' and back again, my
nerves tingling with excitement
Sometimes . Komako's absorp

set out enough food for ten men,

V from New York, president of the

public speaker. This is his nar-
4 aw w.
"In view of the approaching
presidential election, the legis
lature passed a law which was
signed by the governor, provid
ing machinery for the soldiers'
vote. New York had at that time
between three and four i hun-
. dred thousand soldiers I in the
field, who were scattered in com
" panies, regiments, brigades and
divisions all over the south. This
- law made it the duty of the sec
retary of state to provide bal
lots, to see that they reached
every unit of a company, to ga- -ther
the votes and transmit them
to the home of each soldier ...
Of course, the first thing was
to find out where the New York -troops
were, and for that purpose
I went to Washington, remain
ing there for several months be
fore the war department would
give me the information . . . I
. took my weary way every day
. to the war department but could
: get no results. . The interviews
were brief and very brusque. The
time was getting short I said to
the secretary: 'If the ballots are
to be distributed in time, I roust
have information . at once.'. He
very angrily refused and said:
. 'New York troops are in every
army, all over the enemy's ter
ritory. To state . their location
would be to give valuable infor
mation to the enemy. How could
I know if that information would
be so safeguarded as. not to get
out? "
"As I was walking down the
long corridor, which was full ot
hurrying officers and soldiers
, returning from the field or de
, parting' for it, I- met Elihu i
Washburne, who was a con
gressman from Illinois and an,
intimate friend of the president
He stopped me and said:
' : " 'Hello, Mr. Secretary, you
seem very much troubled. Can
I help you? I told him my story.
'What are you going to do?
he asked. I answered To pro
tect myself I must report to the

provision for the soldiers' vot
ing cannot be carried out because
the administration refuses to give
information where the New York
soldiers are located.'
" 'Why, said Mr. Washburne,
that would beat Mr. Lincoln.
, You don't know him. While ha
is a great statesman, he is alsa
the keenest of politicians alive.
If it could be done in no other
way, the president would take a
carpet-bag and go around and
collect those votes himself. You
remain here until you hear from
me. I will go at once and see
the president
"In about an hour a staff of--ficer
stepped up to me and
asked: 'Are you the secretary
of state of New York? I an
swered Yes The secretary of )
war wishes to see you at once
he said. I found the secretary
most cordial and charming.
i" 'Mr. Secretary, what do you
desire?' he asked. I stated the
case as I had .many times be
fore, and. he gave a peremptory
order to one of hla taff that
I should receive the documents
in iime ior me to leave Washing
ton on the midnight train.,
The magical transformation
was the result of a personal vi
sit of President Lincoln to the
secretary of war. Mr. Lincoln
. carried the state of New York
by a majority of only 6749, and
it was a soldiers' vote that gave
him the Empire State."
Another war, another election,
another "keenest of politicians
alive" in the White house look
ing to reelection. We may be
quite sure the service men and
women will be enabled to vote
in 1944.
