SPRAGUn Editor and Publish? -. iSesnber of The Associated Press The Associated Preae Is cxci usf veiy entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches Portland Planning ' . f. v Our cresting contemporary finds fault with ; Portland for spending tlC3,C00 in employing eastern planners, engineers and attorneys to set up post-war plans for the metropolis. It attrib-' utes the going east for talent to an inferiority complex and thinks Oregon has men as compe tent as those who will be imported. !. . . . But isn't the Capital Journal taking an ex tremely provincial and certainly unneighborly attitude toward the matter? And instead of be- ing' an expression of an inferiority : complex, may not the decision to spend $100,000 be rather an evidence that Portland is feeling its oats, that it has been suddenly dumped into, "big time" and wants to qualify properly for the role? ' Portland does need to study its Iproblem, which will be more acute when thj war ends . and the- government subsidies for housing, schools, nurseries, transportation, etc, are re moved. -There is a broad economic and social problem involved in the support of the thous ands who have come A- Portland and will want to remain there. Projection should be made now of the desirable lines of attack and of de velopment, or else Portland ' will be caught wholly unprepared. v It is quite impossible to pick out within the community persons- to do the job. . First, they are well occupied now; second, the competitive spirit , would handicap their . work and impair tlieir findings; third, an outside organization of r competent workers can "do the job objectively without regard for local interests and jealousies, rnnd ms It is experienced it ought to do the job more efficiently. The est laid plans "gang aft agley"; and what' the experts recommend, may be rejected, r The Portland schoolboard made, little use of the! special survey it ordered and paid for a few . years ago. But the plans do provide something concrete for study. Often out of them real prog ress does come. .' Robert Moses, who heads the group select ed to do the job for Portland, is a man of nation al standing. He has . long been superintendent of parks in New York City was one man who faced down Secretary Ickes on a PWA project. He has been doing a similar job for the city ,of , -New York, if we are not mistaken. We are not too optimistic over results, be cause there probably remains too much influ- . ence in Portland which wants to get the war over, the shipyard workers out of town, and to . ' restore the fojrmer calm, it - is refreshing to know however that there is enough vision in Portland to gamble $100,000 that orderly prog ress might be achieved there. . 7ant-Ad Growth An interesting fact in the" newspaper pub lishing business now is the growth in volume of classified advertising. Our own paper has ob-I served iff with satisfaction, too, as it helps make i op the lack of automotive and food advertising, , curtailed by war. Metropolitan papers are pret- ty well buried in classified. Some of them are forced to ration their classified space, to users. " The demand is borne of "wants." Shortages ' of labor, of housing, of gadgets from beds to toasters drive people to the broad market which the want-ad pages tap. Fort there is always a . , turnover 'K houses becoming vacant, ; people , quitting one job and looking for another,, house furnishings being thrown on the market. With reduction of production of goods and housing' a scramble results whenever offerings of those now existing are made. Truly - the classified pages of a newspaper are a great market-place, a genuine bazaar filled : with human interest. One can find humor and pathos in want-ads; and bargains, too J The va riegated reading holds oneV attention' easily, which may account for the high value of want ads; people read the ads for their "news' in terest,, are attracted by some offering or. dis-' cover they can meet some want. j i ; Don't turn up your nose at the classified ads. Publishers do not; and .the general public do not. They are as democratic and as 'popular as the town pump; as-intimate as your neigh . bor clothes-line.

Editorial Comment From Other Papers ; r THE "HAM KISS We have never taken the talk of General Mac Arthur for President seriously, and fail to see how anyone , else can. General MacArthur apparently, has done an ex cellent Job in the South Pacific against heavy odds, and deserves the highest praise for that. - . But -there is a far BIGGER job yet to do. And barring a miracle .of sensational proportions, a year, from now that "bigger job" will be in full swing, with General MacArthur at the head, and in the thick of it . ' . .- . Not only would the General undoubtedly refuse the nomination if it were offered to him, but under the circumstances no self-respecting political par ty should offer it nd for the next Republican convention to do so would simply be a confession of complete political bankruptcy, '-.'-.v . However we don't think there need be any par ticular worry over the matter. Ham Fish came out ' for General MacArthur yesterday and that should settle it!

That's the right direction, all right; just keep on going. - U ; News Behind The News By PAUL MALLOW 1 WASHINGTON Aug. , SL The time? stolen from us by the hesitancy of King Victor Emmanuel and Badoglio at the fall of Mussolini, has enabled the Germans to prepare a strong fight for the entire Italian penin sulabut particularly for the nor thern third. : ,t : . . r Hitler has moved 'enough divi sions and suns into that front for stubborn fighting, thereby 7 rais ing that question of how fast and furiously i we want to go into that area which we are how blacken- 7 ing from the skies as promised by ChurchuL. Some authorities now psai Mjuioa believe that if we pursue our course there ardently; we vrTl not be able to occu py all Italy. before the end of the' yean. . The final outcome is in. no doubt whatever, as we incontestably have supremacy of the skies and of the seas on both sides of the narrow mainland. Yet the situation may call for reconsideration of strategy and perhaps launching of invasion on the northwest European coast where Hitler has weak ened his numerical strength in order to fight a stronger delaying action in Italy. f - The Danish and Bulgarian outbreaks signify that nearly everyone now knows Hitler is beaten, except Hitler. :.. t, -V Hi'. ' :.--: The Danish revolt sprang from two develop ments. The nazis were drawing ever tighter and tighter the economic yoke on the Danes at a time when . allied successes " had spurred the factory workers to a reslzation mat their case was not lost. ; Their resistance' broufht en the German ultimatum ' and the revolt' Previously, the Danes had accept ed nazi rule reluctantly but without sabotare. It will have some military and much political effect. The Germans relied on the Danes for much now sjet less, but the number of sold- iers and materiel coming from that country to the. nazis was comparatively insignificant, TThe Danish army numbered 1500. Germany will now have to police Denmark more heavily. - . . . Smouldering Bulgaria on the other axis hand, is the key transportation route to Greece and the nazi citadel of the Balkans; King Boris may or may not have been killed by mud sympathizers for fail ure to please Hitler, or by Russians. The assassin ation is less important than the ensuing demonstra tions that the people are Increasingly pro-Russian. They never wanted to jet in the war -anyway. The only soldiers Hitler obtained from Bulgaria for use outside were the police force employed in part of Greece. As Balkan unrest grows, he may have to find other military police, not only for Bul garia but for all the adjoining nations. - More than 20 Italian divisions still are in the Balkans in such work. They could not get out to return home as Badoglio planned when Mussolini feU. ' But they are of less an less value to Hitler. : ' These developments, therefore; mark the inv volvemeht of Hitler in a critical struggle to hold his -home front, a struggle which will be continuous and grow in severity apace with allied successes. He cannot afford to lose it Nazi withdrawal from Taganrog (held for the ; past two winters) was generally advertised as a sur prise, but it was forecast in this column August 25, The plunging red drive southwest of Kharkov even then, made it necessary for the nazis to draw back the long arm they had stretched into the Ukraine along the sea of Azov. Their plan no doubt is to draw back to the line of Melitopol, and thus hold their bridge-head in the Crimea. But this movement no doubt simultane ously will require them to evacute the Kuban river-head they have held In the Ukraine in favor of a firmer position on the Crimean mainland. - - Russian line they seem intent on holding runs from the Crimea north ward, through Meutopol to the bend of the Dnieper, and then fol-- lows the westward winding, banks of that stream through central Russia.
