SPRAGUE, Editor and Publisher Member of the Associated Press " The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches; credited to it or not otnerwlse crecutea in mis newspaper. Willkie in Wisconsin You hava to admire Wendell Willkie's tough- Bess. He ! goes at things ."the hard way." In tead of buttering up a few powerful politi cians and then sitting back and letting them pull the strings for a nomination, he goes to the people direct Nor does he just pick out the pushover states. He is pitching his tent in Wis consin fin a series of one-jnight or one-day stands and appealing 1 for the Wisconsin slate of delegates who will be chosen in the April. S'mary. Willkie regards Wisconsin as a sort of t state. It has not been regular in its repub licanism; it is reputed to have many isolation ists among its people: and the LaFollette in fluence has been powerful.! So Willkie thinks if he can sweep Wisconsin in ja direct test that it will prove that the polls ar screwy and start a groundswell that will swamp the politicians and sweep him into the nomination. He plays for high stakes in Wisconsin.! ; One trouble with the Willkie strategy how ever is that he is not entering all the primary contests. California for instance is skipped, though that is a large statej with many dele gates. The result may be that the primary sup port shown Willkie will be questioned because he keeps out of California, Illinois and Ohio. Year of Decision ; Last year Bernard deVoto of Harper mag azine wrote a book; pfear of -Decision in which he developed the idea that 1840. was a climactic year in America's march westward and that the decisions 'made .then determined the country's manifest destiny" for rnany de cades. Not only were the Oregon territorial limits settled upon in that year, but decisive steps were taken toward annexation of Texas and California and all the country in between Mexico having been tie loser. Just as American expansion was coming to a focus during the eighteen-forties, so it seems to be heading toward ven more of a climax in the nineteen-forties. And once again Oregon probably will play a leading role. And the de cisions that will be made in 1946, probably about the war's end, VriU determine no less the destiny of America for many decades. Already' we can see the problems arising far to our westward. Administration of the islands wrested from the Japanese is at least tempor arily in our hands or those of Britain, France or Australia. As we advance further into the orient, these questions Problems of political become more difficult. control and? economic conditions will be pressing for solution as the Kie dOWn, UKl UK WUC KUJ Bunn - tidans give Dewey the nomination. None of the Other names mentioned seenk to be rolling up Strength. And the dark horses so far are so dark they can't be seen. But Gov. Dewey will have to do some heavy thinking between now and June 26. Though he Is the current favorite in the polls and may prove to be the favorite when the delegates are named, he has not yet said he would ac cept the nomination. He has been cagey partly because of his fears of going; against Roosevelt in a war year. He may not refuse a draft by j the convention; but if the odds look too heavy he may call off his stalwarts.! However he can't I wait much Iqnger for that; and the Dewey push evidently has his silent assent. ' With the Russians knocking at their gates the frightened Rumanians are rushing to cover, hoping to make a peace , with the allies before their country caves in. One requirement will be . the cleaning out of the government that sur- ' rendered to 'thenazis; another would probably . be the internment "of German soldiers in Ru- mania. Both conditions would be tough and probabrwilT'not be met, leaving Rumania ; open for a continuation of the Russian military ; advance. Rumania, like the other satellite na- V ions, is caught in a trap of its own contriving; j and its chances for mercy are slim. for 1946 will be made this year. The state has a unique opportunity in electing two Senators not to mention four representatives. But it is in the senate that most of; the postwar; decisions will be debated and settled. The men who will represent the state in the coming negotiations will do well to brush up on their history and geography of many disputed points, for the whole world will be looking on as America as sumes its undisputed place of leadership. in the world that must be built anew after the long years of hostilities.

Copyright 144 by the AwoeUtcd Press Sparks are flying in the Balkan powder maga zine, endangering the whole nazi defense arch in south-southeastern Europe, as a result of the Ger man coup in Hungary a move which undoubtedly was forced on Berlin by dire military, necessity. The nazl high command had to risk, an internal blow-up in the Balkans, even the possible effect of a retreat in the south to the Carpathian-Danube defense line, to brace its eastern and western fronts In the north for -what it knows is coming, and com ing soon. . ' ' German seizure of Hungarian road and rail com munications that spiderweb out of Budapest insures quick transit of troops and supplies for a snort line defense of Carpathian passes and the Danube delta. Relatively few troops could hold that line, especially while aided by spring freshets impend ing in the south. A 400-mile front from southeast ern Poland to the Black sea is indicated to which the Hungarian road and rail network is the key. It should fee heavy nazl reserves of front line troops for use elsewhere. I The Hungarian coup came at a time when every ' Indication pointed to a shift In the war's center of gravity from the south to the north. The German high command can have no doubt a two-front Russian-allied attack is impending there. Anglo-American preparations for an Invasion effort from Brit ain are , advertised, - not concealed. London an- , Bounces preparation of a coastal zone Jump-off. Washington te busy assembling combat reserves and replacements for the expected major battles. Of even more immediate concern to Berlin; are Russian preparations for a spring assault in the north. The red drive it Lwow on the northend of the southern front has a greater tactical l and strategic meaning than merely slicing the nazi eastern front In two to the Carpathians. : ; It is pointed squarely at the weakest link In the boasted nazl "east wall defense line from the Car-; pathians to the Baltic. That is the gap between the headwaters of the Dniester in the. south and the polish Bug river in the north.! , Lwow stands-atop the watershed spine in south eastern Poland. Rivers north of the city flow into the Baltic, those south of it into the Black sea. There is no river line east of It to aid its defense and Russian forces are converging on it from the directions of Brody and Tarnopol. Russian capture of Lwow would outflank both the upper Dniester and the Polish Bug line danger ously. A Russian break through, the Bug defense front for a war of maneuver on Poland's fertile plains, nowhere blocked by mountain' masses -or any sizeable streams, would bring the war virtual ly to the frontiers of the reich proper on a terrain where Russian, manpower superiority would have" mLxumum and possibly decisive effect t , - , , The Berlin-Wsrsaw-Budapest ' communications triangle is the obvious key to the German inner de fense ring, the means by which nazl commanders . still hope to shuttle inferior forces to prevent a col lapse of the European fortress under weight of, Russian-allied - simultaneous attack by - superior numbers.

' - News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON g i WASHINGTON, March j 21 U- The first of the post-war policy plans to reach concrete form was presented to the senate Unostentatiously in Sen-! ator McCarran's bill rewriting air law. Its legal compiexiues ooscurea ; its . im portance and the rather sensa tional j internal fight out of which jit grew. I , McCarran generally acts for the airline companies, but this new program was devised un der hiS personal supervision in dependently. It came forth af ter the Bennett Clark sub committee secretly g had sub jected! America's private master pmi M&noa 01 ocean airways Juan Trippe of Pan American to several days of relentless in quiry concerning his methods of current control and proposed domination. - $; ' ':; The McCarran bill would break up Pan Ameri can. It proposes to establis i one central company to handle all American inter-oceanic business under the name of the All-Amei ican Flag lines. Existing air lines would subscribe 1 he capital stock and own the company, but none c uld have more than 25 per cent It is being assumed Mr. Trippe probably would head this new line. If sc , he would be as much under the influence of the domestic airlines as anyone else. ' McCarran said the ne line would; not be a monopoly, but he was expressing a legalism not true in fact The setup would be such that no other company than the American Flag line could operate, chiefly because It would hot get government mail subsidies. For all practical purposes (except in court) the new line would be a privately-owned government directed monopoly designed to compete with the similarly formed British, Dutch and other foreign competing lines. The idei behind this method is that one strong company will let this nation gain the first position in world air business, as we have more and better planes and pilots, and can operate more efficiently and cheaper. ; Both Pan American and -the domestic lines, there- fore, are likely to fall In hvith-the McCarran plan, , or at least accept its general outline to settle the current controversy. j - , The civil aeronautics board probably .will split on the issue, with some pembers favoring active American competition by extension abroad' of various domestic airlines.j v - But the main obiectiorl is likely to come from the "freedom of the air" boys, such as Vice Pre sident Wallace, State Assistant Secretary Berle and others who want to open up one world of the sky after the , war, allowing all nations to go and come anywhere as they please. Gf course, the McCarran plan would freeze the existing sovereignties of nations over their air and require the state department to approve any foreign ship landings in the United States. Thus this first of the past-war plans (which certainly will be followed if It gets all promised support) takes a mixed -moderate road rejecting the highway of loose-hearted world uplift It could not be otherwise in view of the attitude of the Brit ish and the prospects of bther foreign air compe tition. . The domestic commies Iiave the final and prob ably correct interpretation : of Stalin's surprising recognition of the Badogjo government They say the Russian leader abandoned them on this, mere ly for the temporary diplomatic advantage which Would accrue, and when this advantage has passed, he will discard Badogliaf .r: M . That explanation straightens the matter out for, everyone except American diplomats who cannot move in such- a zigzag jcourse, embracing today what they intend to discard tomorrow. , Incidentally, American jnffifiwij are eager to get - Russia to open the promised third bombing front against Germany. Red fields are now closer to vital nazi manufacturing point than our fields in Brit-, . ain or, in many instances, at Foggia. Many think Germany could be, blasted '! into submission yet with a three-way bombirig campaign. ' . ' The partisans are still interpreting the . New Hampshire primary result mainly for their own purposes, the Willkieites insisting he won and the Dewey supporteds claiming a surprising showing. It was. nobody's victory,! only an inconseouential and inconclusive showingl KSLM WEDNESDAY 4 39t Km. f 1M News. t5 Marion County Farm and Home ProcTam. t:15 Bias V Shin.

On the way down they shook the fighters, somehow, but the pi lot couldn't pull her out of the diva. The sea stared them in the face and the bombardier in the glass nose watched the altimeter needle spinning like a clock gone crazy. lM ? .:' . -j Around and around it went one thousand, then 500, then 400 and on to zero f altitude. Then, through some minor fault, the al timeter went on down and record ed an altitude of 300 feet below sea level just as the frantic pilot managed to finally pull her out As she roared along over the water, almost spanking the wave tops with her toil, the pilot called over the interphone! " "Pilot to Dombexdier. ilot to bombardier.' Whadya say boys? Whadya say? The answer came back without hesitation: ;. i Bombardier to pilot. Bombard ier to pilot. Up periscope!

Sometimes a grim and sardonic safety valve and sometimes the sign of high spir ited relief, then; wit is danger- whetted and keener than all the radio and Hollywood gags will ever be able to portray it There was the pilot who buzzed the field near the base after a mission.

Last week the large number of rejects resulted in the quota being Unfilled, committee members said. The difference of 20, between the Marion county quota and the maximum number of pints pos sible to care for, allows for extra donors who are usually registered to balance the possible rejects, it was explained. The blood donor committee has tried to meet the quota of 140 pints each week, as the unit nurses and doctors must come from Portland, . - Back on ground, the shaken crew solemnly salaamed at "such fly ing,"! then, they asked how f he knew there was space between the wires and the ground, .

Transcripts for V-12 men leav ing Willamette this month for fur ther training were made with a newly developed sensitized paper, eliminating the use of photo- , graphic equipment The paper, de veloped at the request of the gov eminent by- the Agfa corporation when photographic film .became scarce, makes, it possible for the work to be done much faster than ' by the; former method of photo stating, according to Walter E.
