Belly Pains and Belly Laughs
There hat been so little belching from the
county'i bellyache press of late that the people
of the county might well have become suspi
cious that the silence was merely preliminary
to a bad case of indigestion. Sure enough, the 1
Woodburn Independent took an emetic this .
week and then put Salem on the receiving end.
It all came out of the banter in the Salem
Capital Press to divide Clackamas between
Multnomah and Marion counties, whereupon
the Independent proposes "secession" of the
north end of Marion county to join Clackamas
which has a new courthouse built and paid for.
The Independent goes on to add what a lawyer
might. call "obiter dicta" regarding Salem, as
follows:
Salem has shaken down the whole state for
a new capitol building, of poorer quality and
more poorly arranged than the old one. the walls
of which were deliberately demolished with dy
namite. A group of taxpayers went to court to
try to save the old walls, but the then circuit
judge of Marion county threw the case out of
court on the contention taxpayers have no right
to sue to protect public property a manifest ab
surdity, tacitly conceded as such by the same
judge in a decision in subsequent case. A state
commission was .appointed to build the new capi
tol. The commission went ahead and put up the
building, with its endless catacombs and waste
space and hole in the back yard because some
body wrote feet for inches, its silly murals with
mature salmon swimming downstream and har
vesters scratching their bare backs with wheat
chaff, and so on and on. The commission actually
had several immense blocks of stone shipped all
the way across the country by express, so as to
spend more money and do it before the legisla
ture could meet and halt the reckless waste.
That's what Salem did to the taxpayers of
Oregon. Some time later Salem got a nice new
postoffice building, for which the taxpayers of
the whole nation had to pay.
The next step, obviously, is to shake down the
taxpayers of Marion county for a nice big juicy
building contract for a court house. That comes
a little nearer home, and if Salem goes ahead
with it along the usual lines, there will be a very
real basis for secession. The present north end of
Marion county extends into Clackamas county in
an awkward sort of way anyhow, and there
would seem to be logic in the idea of straighten
ing the boundary.
That use of the old editorial stomach-pump
ought to afford some relief. Of course there are
a few twists in the catalog of errors that hardly
apply. Salem had no member of the board of
control which directed the demolition of the
walls of the old, burned capitol, and the county
had only its usual representation in the legisla
ture which ordered the building of a new capi
tol (ignoring the recommendations of the Salem
committee as to appropriation and site), and
Salem had only one member of the capitol re
construction commission which hired architects
and approved plans. As far as the postoffice is
concerned, the federal authorities themselves
decided against enlarging the old postoffice
and in favor of building a new one.
When the courthouse is built it will be built
at the will' of the people of all of Marion coun
ty, not of Salem alone. The need for a new
building is clear to anyone familiar with its
crowded condition.
, But we will not assent to any secession of
north Marion county. For one thing, it would
remove the Independent from this county. Life
here without the Independent and its dyspepsia
would be altogether too placid.
High-Handed Method
Tommy Ray, business agent of the boiler
makers' local in Portland, about whose head a
battle long has been raging, walked out of the
hearing before the executive council of the in
ternational at Kansas City, claiming it refused
to give him a copy of the charges against him.
The story is denied by the international's attor
ney,, but such a proceeding is characteristic of
the high-handed methods in old-line labor un
ions. It is typical of the methods of Ray himself.
When the Portland local elected a new set of
. officers last winter Ray refused them admit
tance to the offices, refused to turn over any
books to them, or recognize them in any way.
1 It was his own arbitrary rule which led to the
attempted ouster by the international.
With millions in the kitty, and jobs and pow
er, no wonder there is a bitter dispute over who
is boss. The old A F of L unions are a mixture
of oligarchy and autocracy in which the little
fellow's rights are pretty muchi limited to pay
ing his dues. Even when the higher-ups fall out
there is small chance the little fellow will get
a break.
. The CIO unions, turbulent as they are, give
the "rank and file more rights within the un
ion and then do not foreclose t-eadily on those
rights. There is a real need for democratic or
der to be established within the older labor
unions.' t - :.
Boys Will Be Boys I d
The-world may be at war, but the collec
tion of 17-year-olds and 4F-ers who make up
the civilian male students at colleges have to
'have their fun. The week has seen a spurt of
intercollegiate rivalry of the . Si wash ; college
type between state university and state college
students. The university boys stole a college
beaver. Then the college boys descended on Eu
gene to recover the beaver or to paint the yel
low university O a vivid orange. The college in-
: vaslon resulted in an altercation of mild dimen
sions and the college youth had 'to retire with
neither Of their objectives attained. ! ' .
It must be hard to work up interest . In such
pranks when there is no football to whet ani
mosities and when "college life is dulled by
war's competition. But maybe the corporal's
guard of males at colleges think they have to
uphold the he-man traditions o former days,
,nd keep the home fires of intercollegiate ri-"
valry burning. The effort now seems puerile.
From the summation of evidence given by
the presiding justice in Che Sir Harry Oakes
murder case at Nassau, Bahamas, the not -guilty
verdict should not occasion surprise. He told the
jury a verdict of guilty on circumstantial evi
dence could be found only where there were
no gaps in the evidence, and from his com
ments he evidently thought there were. In Brit
ish jurisprudence the presiding judge is per
mitted to comment on the evidence, in making
his charge to the jury. Undoubtedly such an
analysis and summation are helpful to jurors.
"Here the case against the defendant did not
seem especially strong, though he is clearly an
adventurer. The jury went so far as to recom
mend his deportation, which is a worse penalty
that it sounds because the deportation would
be to his native island of Mauritus in the In
dian ocean.
News Behind
The News
By PAUL MA1.LON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 Most interesting and
perhaps most significant change in the last elec
tion did not show itself until the detailed final
returns came in.
The democrats not only failed to get their usual
Paul Mallon assemmy district tail negroj
where the count showed Hanley, republican, 5942;
Haskell, democrat, 5752; American labor party,
1760. In lower west Harlem (19th district) which
is also negro, the democratic poll was only 700 votes
more than the republican, out of 8500 cast.
Some attribute this almost even split in Har
lem to the fact that a negro republican candidate
was running to be a city court justice (he won).
But the same symptoms were evident also in
Philadelphia, where there is no counterpart of the
Tammany democratic machine which has run Har
lem. There, the republicans won the negro 13th
ward by 1500 (during the new deal, it has been
democratic by 1500), the 7th ward by 2500 (usual
ly democratic by 3000), also the ,44th, 20th, 22nd,
and 47th wards and this was against Bill Bullitt,
the president's friend, for whom Mrs. Roosevelt
appeared on the platform.
In the Brooklyn 20th and 21st and Queens' 2nd,
the same thing happened.
In Kentucky, the republican leaders claim, with
out being able to substantiate it by figures, that 90
per cent of the negro vote went republican.
In Detroit's supposedly non-partisan election,
the official United Automobile Workers-negro
groups' candidate was defeated by a candidate who
had the backing of republicans. .
This change-over in the negro vote was sug
gested in advance by some negro educators and
leaders and some negro newspapers taking the po
sition, at a religious convention and otherwise, that
further support of the administration was not war
ranted. Labor leaders, on the other hand, just could not
hold their people democratic. With CIO support,
the AFL official, who ran for governor unsuccess
. fully in New Jersey, was able to pull the full labor
vote only in Camden county (shipyards, CIO).
Elsewhere in union strongholds through the
thickly industrialized sections of the state, republi
can Walter Edge got the majorities (excepting only
Boss Hague's district). Thus, the change-over
showed even in the case of a candidate who had
CIO, AFL, the' national administration and the
Jersey dry machine. i
Such detailed evidence, on top of the already
noticed decline in power of the American Labor
party in New York, the San Francisco mayoralty
result, Detroit and Kentucky, obviously confirm a
national labor split-vote.
j In Kentucky, of course, John Lewis mine work
ers voted republican, although Mr. Roosevelt hand
ed the mines back to Mr. Ickes the day before elec
tion, as Lewis wanted. i
y If. the administration - cannot hold labor and
negro group votes, there is no other large class
group vote in the country which it can be said to
'control. -
DSM for Wilson ;
Just as in war many officers fail under the
test of battle, so in the organization of produc
tion for war we have had numerous failures.
Capable business executives in their own fields
failed to make the grade in the rush and fury,
of Washington. In production, as in war, the
thing to do is to scrap the failures and hope
the next man will succeed. Of the many who
have made the Washington tour, two really
have succeeded. One is William Jeffers of the
Union Pacific, who slugged his way through on
the synthetic rubber program. The other is C
E. Wilson, who left General Electric to work
with WPB and really has been the man to
make that organization click. Now he is leav
ing to return to private business.
Wilson ought to get a distinguished service
medal for his success in what is perhaps -the
toughest job of war: organizing the economy
for war production without full controls over
civilian operations.
strong labor majorities, but their
city negro majorities as well.
Symptoms of a change-over
in the country at large were
clearly suggested in the scattered
sample voting of these two class
groups to which the national ad
' ministration has appealed so
conspicuously with special lead
ership. In Harlem, the republicans ac
tually won a plurality in the 21st
Mr. Roosevelt win not decide whether he will
seek a fourth term until about next May 1, accord
ing to the private hews passed around to democra
tic senators by his political managers, Byrnes,
Hopkins, Niles and Frank Walker. They want to
delay the convention from June to August in pre
paration for a short campaign.
Colorado's Senator Johnson, who suggested
Chief of Staff Gen. Marshall for the nomination,
is an anti-new dealer., He pulled through for re-
election last fall unexpectedly, after fighting bu
reaucracy, calling for economy and questioning -the
foreign policy f
He has many administration friendg (Bernard
Baruch is one), but his suggestion seems more of
an effort to emphasize his position publicly than
to start a campaign for Marshall, who has given
no signs C candidacy, and is not likely to b on.

EXPRESS THANKS
To the Editor:
Jay Harnsberger and Mrs.
Stuart Johns, commanders of the
Disabled American Veterans and
auxiliary, and Verne Ostrander,
chairman of the "Forget-Me-Nof
sale, wish to join in ex
pressing their appreciation to
the newspapers of this city for
the splendid cooperation and as
sistance rendered to them in
their recent Forget-Me-Not sale
of 8000 little blue flowers, the
official flower of the Disabled
American Veterans and auxili
ary. We wish to extend thanks
through your publication to the
general public, the merchants
and the businessmen of Salem
and to the many volunteers and
organizations for their help and
cooperation.
The contest between William
Richards, veteran from World
war 1, and Earle Croghan, vet
eran from World war 2, became
a very lively and tense contest,
with William Richards the win
ner. ' .
The existence of the Disabled'
American Veterans organization
and a continuance of its service
, to the unfortunate participants
of the world wars, depends on
! the success of the drive reaching
its quota, the highest in the hls-
: tory of the Salem chapter. The .
sale was scheduled for two days
but ' one day , finished the sale,
excepting for a few come-backs
which were sold in a few min
utes Saturday morning. - j

, Coming I on top ; of the still

of jGen. Giraud from the French,

Gaullist purge of alleged Vichy
ites from its rolls.
Giraud's resignation as joint
committee president has left De
Gaulle in sole authority o v e r
that body. It has not changed!
Giraud's function as commander j
of all French troops in Africa, I
Corsica, . Sardinia or elsewhere f
within Eisenhower's jurisdiction. !
The Washington government
has remained silent thus far
both as to the reputed De Gaul-
list-forced retirement of Giraud
from the committee and as tol
events in Lebanon w h i c h 1
prompted the British warning. !
Presumably it is now being left
to Eisenhower, as previously, to
take such action as he deems
necessary to' ; insure success of
further offensive operations.
Among those operations must
be; eventual Franco-American
landings ' in southern France
from the Corsican' or- other
bridgeheads. Giraud's forces are
being re-armed and re-equipped
for that It is estimated that a
full 300,000 French and French
colonial forces will be available
