Heavies for Vietory
The shortage of logs, so it seems, is due to
a shortage of long drawers. Not undies, those
fragile creations of sheer rayon (formerly
silk), but the old-fashioned, ankle-length
men's drawers to cover their nether extremi
ties. Appealed to, the army came to the res
cue of the shivering loggers and released over
a hundred thousand suits of heavy underwear,
the two-piece kind.
While loggers are not "panty-waists", it is
a bit surprising to learn that they still wear
long underwear. We had supposed they had
taken-to shorts, as they have to bathtubs.
The modern logger is really a domesticated
animal. Time was, of course, when the logger
migrated from camp to camp, with his blanket
roll and a few belongings. He wore red flan
nel underwear, which when finally he did take
it off would almost stand alone.
Nowadays your logger lives with his family
in a dwelling-house, drives back and forth to
his job. Some live in Portland apartment hous
es, which is quite within range of their in
. comes. They are no longer the bundle-stiffs
of former years, the habitues of the skidroad.
And you'd never suspect they wore long un
derwear. In fact this demand for logger heavies must
come" from the pine belt. On the fir side of the
.range the climate doesn't xall for woolen shirts
and drawers. In fact your bucker or faller would
suffocate in them when he gets in action with
axe or cross-cut. It must be up in northern
Idaho or Montana where they want this army
underwear, up where the trees are so spind
ling a man can't warm up cutting through a log.
The fir trees here are still thick enough that
the logger must open his shirt, or even peel it
off, when he gets going. And when it snows the
.camps shut down and he stays in his apart
.ment. It takes various things to win this war. The
latest, it seems, is long drawers for northwest
loggers.
Early News Release
Palmer Hoyfs prods must have had some
effect. The first news of the Gilbert islands
amphibious operation came from our own na
vy and not from the Tokyo radio. Nor did the
initial release "cover up" anything. It reported
the occupation of Makin, but said that heavy
fighting was in progress at Tarawa. Within a
few days the full, details of that critical battle
were received, and warnings that the casualty
lists would prove large,
-i. This announcement told the enemy , nothing
: it did not already know, and it did keep the
'American public fully informed. Our people
are braced for the facts, and want the bad
news released as well as the good. But we un
- derstand this war is not being waged to pro
vide newspaper copy, and realize that disclo
sures that might benefit the enemy must not
be made.
If the navy and the army will continue the
present policy of prompt declaration of the es
sential facts, with due regard to military se
curity, the people will be well satisfied, and
the newspaper should be.
Chrome Plant Closes

to furnish the government with chrome ore

stopped buying. Recently the government said
it was ending its purchase of high-cost chrome
and cobalt because of abundance of present
stocks. This means that one "war baby" goes
down, because the company cannot compete
with mines providing richer ores.
Just how much money the government has
invested in plant and highway to serve these
chrome operations we do not know, but it is
v considerable. A road was built last winter and
the cost was heavy because of the rains, but the

just another "Canol oil" project on a small
scale.
; Floors or Ceilings
t Senator Taft, who worked out a compromise
last summer after the. president's veto of the
s CCC bill .with its anti-subsidy provision, is
: bunting for some compromise now. The op
. position seems to have the votes, however, and
will probably be in no mood to compromise.
But if a veto comes administration whips may
-muster a third to prevent the enactment of the
.bill "over a . veto.
It might be well for both friends and foes
to leave off fighting long enough to scan the
skies. Events may happen so fast positions
may be reversed on the subsidy front before
many months. Wall street evidently thinks the
jwar boom in contracts and prices may end very
soon. That's why we are not specially alarmed
'.if subsidies are defeated. Right now hog-grow-ers
are more interested in price floors than in
price ceilings. -
Munich and Vichy

Weather News
The weatherman, who has complained the
public lost interest in his forecasts during the
long period of blackout of weather predictions,
need only be patient. Let the weather only get
up on its high horse with cold or heat or storm
and he will find the public coming at him with
its old time zest: "How long before this spell
of weather will break?"
Just now we see warnings for small craft
along the coast from Newport to the strait of
Juan de Fuca. That whets the public interest.
Come December, with beating rains and heavy
seas, and warnings to all craft, and the peo-
pie will really become weather-conscious.
We are creatures of habit, and when the fore
casts were no longer reported we got out of
the habit of looking for them at the regular
spot in the paper. They're back now; we're
happy to see them back. And the public will
soon slip into the old habit of seeing what the
prediction is and jibing the weatherman when
his prophecy proves a bust.
The ray of hope for linotypers and proof
readers that the Russian advance will soon
pass the Russian place-names is a false dawn.
Ahead lie Chisenau and Calarasi-Targ in Ru
mania and Brzesc na Bugu in Poland. Well
hope, however, the fighting never .reaches
Wales.
Some one might write a song about the "rifle
packin' eleven-year-old" down at Oregon City.
But a better one would be for the thirteen-year-old
son of the sheriff who rounded up the youth
ful criminal.
News Behind
The News
Bv PAUL MA1.LON
WASHINGTON, November 29 The nazis moved
some of their government offices out of Berlin in "
preparation for this latest series of RAF air attacks.
A few went to Vienna, and others to the Dresden
area. But the war ministry and the bulk of German
industry remained to take the
terrific rain of destruction.
How decisive the allied blitz
will prove to be in a strictly
military way was not guessabla
during the initial series of at
tacks, but the psychological ef
fect of the whole allied air
bombing campaign is evident in '
the peculiar line taken by the
German radio.
Concealing the extent of the
Paul Ma lion damage, the Hitler spokesmen
kept constantly shouting to the people "We will not
capitulate," and one gauleiter publicly broadcast
a declaration that any shirkers on the home front
were "lousy dashes," only possible translation of
an unprintable word, the use of which betrays
the overwrought effects of these nightly attacks.
But even more significant was the radio broad
cast that a women's gestapo had been created to
stop grumbling among the people. Innkeepers have
been ordered also to suppress whispered conver
sations in their places. The mayor of a Berlin sub
urb was among several who have suffered execu
tions for listening to foreign radio broadcasts in
the last few weeks.
The official propagandists all try to exempt
Hitler from blame, saying he never wanted that
kind of war (forgetful of what he did to London),
that the British cannot keep it up, that certain sec
tions of Berlin were to rebuilt anyway all of
which is rather weak.
flcj
War Secretary Stimson's expressed optimism on
the war in the Pacific where the promised major
offensive has been launched on all fronts was
founded on the unexpected ease with which we
took the Gilbert islands. Our planes found weak
Japanese air resistance there and in the, Marshall
islands which we have been bombing in preparation
for capture.
One aircraft carrier division reported an almost
unbelievable score of 46 to 4 in plane casualties
of one phase of the Gilbert fight. The ratio through
out the whole Pacific area has been running about
7 to 1 against the Japs in air combat, and increases
to 10 to 1 if you consider the number of Jap planes
destroyed on the ground. N
But the basic conception of future progress Stim
son apparently had in mind, forecasts early ad
vances to the Marshalls, from which Wake island
can be made untenable (2000 miles from Tokyo). In
addition, the fall of Rabaul will bring Truk, the
main Jap air base in the Pacific, within bombing
range of our next attack.
The Japs thus far do not seem to have the air
force to offer any stiff resistance to our progress.
They should have been expected to present their
best possible force in the areas alrady captured.
Cleaning out the ground forces may be a more
arduous problem, but at least the advance Jap air
bases soon may be thrown back hundreds of miles
from our best lines of communication to Australia.
It is still a long way to Tokyo.
Strangest of all legal phenomena is the devel
oping effect of Justice Felix Frankfurter's supreme
court decision last March, allowing a confessed
Tennessee moonshine murderer to escape from his
conviction.
The courts around the District of Columbia now
have ruled out confessions in about three cases,
one of which involved a murder charge on the
same inexplicable' ground Mr. Frankfurter laid
down in his decision, namely that; the prisoner
had been kept too long by the police court before
he was presented to the magistrate. J
In the Tennessee mountaineer case, one of five
McNabb brothers confessed on a Friday morning,
but, due to some detailed protest among the bro
thers, the confession was not' presented until 2 a.,
m. Saturday roughly 14 hours after having been
made. .. . : '
Mr. Frankfurter construed this to be "an un
reasonable time," and the courts are now bound by
his decision, although no one has attempted to say i
what is a reasonable time. No doubts were cast on
the validity of the confession, which had been ac
cepted by the lower courts. , ; ; i , , 5
A negro who confessed first degree, murder on
. a Saturday here, and could not be presented until
II a. m. Monday, has been saved from facing his
confession In" court as one primary result A bini

supreme court and will be carried through, - -

Interpreting
The War News
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Copyright 1943 bv the Associated Press
The weather-bred stalemate
holding up the allied advance on
Rome appeared ended last night,
with British 8th army veteran?
ripping loose the nazi "winter
line" anchorage on the Adriatic
coast.
There were signs of an im
pending German retreat on that
flank. This would expose to al
lied attack the main lateral
highway in central Italy, the
Rome - Avezzano - PeScara road.
Advance 8th army elements in
hard-won bridgeheads above
the lower reaches of the Sangro
river, appeared converging to
ward Chieti, key protective bas
tion for the coastal stretch of
that road.
With the river behind them,
no other important neutral de
fensive front appeared to bar
the way to a foothold on the
eastern end of the Rome-Pescara
transportation artery.
- British scouts reported nazi
kindled fires behind German
front lines, foreshadowing a re
tirment from the upper end of ;
the front below Rome. Collapse
of this sector inevitably must
mean the fall also of the last
mountain barriers in the center,
and permit a 5th army forward
surge toward Casslno and into
the Liri-Sacco valley short line
approach ot Rome.
Fifth army capture of the
heights of ; Falconara, north of
Mountiquilo, already has put LL
Gen. Mark W. Clark's troops in
a position to take quick advan
tage of any 8th army gains far
ther north.
How deep the 8th army has
cut into nazi high ground posi
tions was not. immediately indi
cated. It was obvious, however,
that the allied attack in that sec
tor sprang from improved wea
ther conditions 'and was follow
t ing the same pincer pattern as
the Sicilian campaign. .
- - The 8th army commander,
Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery,
, sent his men over the lower
Sangro on a specified mission to
drive the foe "north of Rome."
Their bridgeheads across the
Sangro are about due east of
Rome now and the next river"
barrier on the Adriatic slope of
the peninsula is the Aterno-Pes-cara
which parallels the Rome
Pescara road. The river lies
above the highway, however,
which renders ft of small defense
value once the allied right flank
breaks through the difficult,,
mountain terrain to the highway.
The situation on the Italian
front raises a question as to the
real purpose of reported confer
ences under Vatican auspices in
Rome that have stirred specula
tion as to possible German peace
feelers. 'With the front flaming
into active battle again so close
to Rome, the question of its se
curity from either nazi destruc
tion in the event of its forced
abandonment, or of allied air
and artillery bombardment is
becoming acute.
It seems possible that the Vati
can is seeking an agreement that
would make. Rome an open city,
to be by-passed by both armies.
That -seems a more probable ob
jective of indicated Vatican in
tervention at this stage than any
attempt to induce the belliger
ents to discuss peace terms.
It would appear a thankless
task for any non-belligerent to.
undertake an exploration of
peace possibilities now. By every
indication, v the-"unconditional r
? surrender policy toward Ger-'
many is about to be significantly
reinforced. Rumors of a Church-;
fll-Roosevelt-Stalin meeting for ;
that purpose are flying so thick
and .fast about Europe as to
make this a most inopportune
time for diplomatic intervention
for any larger purpose than per
haps to save Rome's shrines. ., r

Food Subsidy
Hangs on Bloc
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 j-OP)
Any senate consent to continua
tion, of food subsidy payments ap
parently hung today on;: efforts
of a small democratic bloc to split
strong r opposition ranks with a
compromise that would permit
outlay of the funds for a limited
period and a restricted amount.
While administration lieutenants
fanned that faint hope vigorously,
majority leader Barkley (D-Ky)
called for a public airing of the
controversy "so the peopla; will
get the full story." ; -
Farm bloc leaders confident of
outright defeat of President
Roosevelt's price subsidy program
pressed, however, for a quick
vote on the house-approved bill
which, after December 31, would
ban government payments to keep
down retail food prices., - -
Meantime, the group of demo
cratic senators were, striving to
win over farm bloc spokesmen to
the compromise proposal although
no specific subsidy ceiling or time
limit for the program had been
decided. i
